The beef-flavored nuggets didn't taste particularly good, mainly because they were loaded with various spices and additives, which made it quite unpalatable for Xiaomi, who was used to food nurtured by Spiritual Energy.
But this was only the case for Xiaomi.
The other seven people didn't think the same way. Some who were initially a bit unhappy were stunned the moment they heard Xiaomi mention 'beef nuggets.'
"Beef? Eating beef is illegal!" The speaker was a little girl among them, her eyes widened, and she even took a step back.
It was as if what Xiaomi mentioned was not beef jerky, but human jerky.
Xiaomi smiled: "Don't worry, this isn't our draught oxen; it's something from beyond the pass, bought in the county town. Try it, it's really delicious."
The reason for bringing out the beef nuggets was that their family had previously bought beef jerky, so even if it got out, it wouldn't be exposed.
