The "Cooking Tournament" continues to be lively. Mu Tang was too lazy to open a business, so he followed Qin Shuilian and Tong Xiangyu to eat and drink everywhere, enjoying food from all over the world. If you don't have to treat it with a discerning eye and taste, it's really a rare enjoyment.

Today, try the "Abyss Purgatory Dog Meat Pot" from the "Yellow Ear Continent" continent to feel the extreme and dark taste, and tomorrow you will eat the famous "Tomahawk Steak" from the "Taigao Continent" and experience the savage flavor from the "Moganxi Primeval Jungle...... Eat every day, eat all the way, don't be too carefree these days.

Of course, the small money in the waist bag also flowed into other people's pockets like flowing water - fortunately, we are not short of money! Mu Tang thought truthfully.

And so the days went by. The whole capital seems to be immersed in the excitement set off by the "Cooking Ceremony", and even the air is filled with the enticing aroma of delicacies.

In addition to enjoying the food, Mu Tang naturally did not forget his two tasks, finding out the participating chefs of the "Five-color Cult", and "eyebrows" with Tufei Zhengyuan to listen to information.

Under the arrangement of Zhuge Dayu, Mu Tang and Tufei Zhengyuan had an "encounter of fate", and then one "Lang is affectionate", and the other "concubine is intentional", eating, drinking, and having fun, and "hooked up and became a traitor" within a few days.

In contact with Tufei Zhengyuan, Mu Tang naturally shaped himself into a "character" who "has no talents, is framed by traitors, and is eager to succeed but has no way", and the Tufei Zhengyuan is upset for Mu Tang, and patted his chest to ensure that as long as Mu Tang goes to "Dongri Island", he can have an extraordinary achievement.

On the other hand, Mu Tang only heard from him that he had encountered problems in a transaction, so he came to the capital to open up relations and clear the way, but unfortunately it was not very smooth, and he was also worried.

As for what kind of business it is, Mu Tang took the perspective of "Mr. Tufei is so rich and must be a big deal" as the starting point, and asked him two sentences, but Tufei Zhengyuan didn't mention a word, just a perfunctory sentence "It's just a small business that can't be put on the table, it's not worth mentioning".

There is little harvest here, and the chef of the "Five-color Cult" has not found out - Mu Tang is confident that he can judge the good and evil of this person only through the dishes made by a chef, and he has also eaten some dishes of evil and evil chefs, but Zhuge Dayu focused on investigating but found that they are not very likely to be "five-color cultists".

Of course, although the probability is not high, these people are still listed as priority care objects. Anyway, it's a needle in a haystack, maybe it's fished out when it's fished out?

Mu Tang didn't have much to gain here, but Zhuge Dayu had a lot of gains. By secretly investigating Emily's communication records, he found that she had been in frequent contact with the number of "Yunzhou" recently, and then he followed this clue and mobilized the "General Intelligence Department" on the "Yunzhou" side, and soon had results!

After all, the "red clay trade" was in a big uproar on the "Yunzhou" side, because it involved the "people of Dongri Island" and the capital flow involved was quite large, the "General Intelligence Department" branch there also conducted some investigations and filings, but because no problems were found, it was not taken seriously, so it was not reported to the headquarters in Beijing.

Now that the Beijing headquarters has checked it, the "Yunzhou General Intelligence Office" immediately submitted the information that had been filed before.

"It's still powerful on your side, I hooked up with Tufei Zhengyuan, for fear of arousing his vigilance, and he stumbled when he wanted to inquire about something, and he couldn't hold back his fart, not to mention how uncomfortable it was...... Huh, spend money on dirt? Am I not mistaken? ”

Anyway, Mu Tang was also idle and bored, and after eating the so-called food for nearly ten days, he was already tired of it, as soon as he heard that Zhuge Dayu had a result here, he ran over in a hurry, and after reading the information for a while, he aimed at "the rich businessmen of Dongri Island spent money to buy red soil", and suddenly there was an idea of "the world is so big".

Zhuge Dayu said: "When I first saw this information, I reacted the same as you. I almost wanted to ask the comrades of 'Yunzhou' if they were mistaken. But I didn't ask, because none of my emotional workers would make such a low-level mistake. Keep reading......"

Mu Tang turned the pages one by one, and after a while, he saw the photo of "Tu Fei Zhengyuan" and the related introduction, "Yo, it turned out to be a 'farmer'." ”

Yes, the information shows that Tufei Zhengyuan is engaged in the trading of planting and breeding, and operates hundreds of farms single-handedly, a proper local tyrant!

In addition, there are five wealthy merchants of "Tohijima" who came to Kyushu with "Tohi Masagaki", and they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all large farmers.

Mu Tang touched his chin and said, "Are they all farmers?" These guys can't just buy red clay to farm, do they? The red soil in Yunzhou is so fertile, as for letting them run so far and spend real money to buy it? ”

Zhuge Dayu said: "These are only the information that can be detected temporarily, and the truth or falsehood is to be determined." The comrades on the 'Higashihijima' side are already investigating. More detailed findings will have to wait for some time. In addition, I also had some samples of red clay collected and sent to an authoritative institution for testing. Since they spent money on red clay, it proves that those red clays have extraordinary value. The question is, what is the value of those red clays. ”

Mu Tang smiled and said, "This thing is not easy to do, right?" This is the investment promotion performance of the 'Yunzhou' government. According to this report, the red soil in 'Yunzhou' is full of land, and since even the soil can be sold for money, they wish to have more big tyrants like Tufei Zhengyuan. The goal of increasing the state's GDP depends entirely on these tyrants. ”

Zhuge Dayu shook his head and said, "Now in this world, even the soil can sit on the ground and raise the price." Through a series of means, Emily obtained nearly eighty percent of the 'red clay collection rights' in 'Yunzhou'. The remaining two percent are in the hands of the local powerful clan in 'Yunzhou'. Now they have all shrunk their trading openings, and they want to raise the price of 'red soil' again," he sneered as he spoke, "Hey, one tael of silver and ten catties of soil is not enough......"

"Tsk, when did this money make so much money? Grandma's, even my eyes are red with envy," Mu Tang sighed, "What kind of red clay is it, do you have it, and where can you give me the palm of your eyes and see it." ”

Zhuge Dayu said: "I just have a small bag here, if you like it, I will give it to you." As he spoke, he took out a small transparent bag from the drawer and threw it to Mu Tang.

Mu Tang caught it, looked at it, and saw that the red clay was pale red in color, but there was nothing special about it, he poured out a little red clay, twisted it, and suddenly a smell penetrated his nose, "Huh? ”

Zhuge Dayu said: "What's the matter? ”

Mu Tang said: "There is a familiar smell in the soil...... You haven't touched anything else before this soil is in your hands, have you? Zhuge foolishly said: "No." The soil is sent in a special specimen box. There will be no other flavors in the middle. How? ”

Mu Tang put his finger under his nose and sniffed again, and then smiled: "Leader, I don't know whether to say something or not." Looking at Mu Tang with a joking face, Zhuge Dayu said, "Did you find anything?" If there is, just say it. ”

Mu Tang took out a piece of paper, wiped the soil off his hand, and said neatly: "This kind of soil, you'd better not sell it to the 'Dongri Island people' for one or two, even if they offer a high price." ”

Zhuge Dayu frowned, "Why? ”

Mu Tang said: "This kind of soil contains an ingredient called 'rare gold', which has extraordinary uses in various fields such as military manufacturing, metal smelting, and agricultural planting. It's just that with the current human refining technology, there should be no way to refine the 'rare gold' in the soil. Those people in Tu Fei Zhengyuan bought a large amount of this red clay, either because they had developed the method of refining 'rare gold', or they had gained the experience of their predecessors and were trying to refine 'rare gold'. Once they have mastered the mature 'Rare Gold' refining technique, every one or two red clay you sell now will be able to help 'Dongri Island' increase its strength even a little bit. When the time comes, if you really fight......"

Zhuge Dayu listened quietly and said, "Where did you know about 'Rare Gold'?" Forgive me for being a lonely, this is the first time I've heard the word 'rare gold'. ”

Mu Tang didn't need to be so cautious as before now, he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I just know." It's up to you if you can listen to it or not. Besides, I can't pit the leader and the country, right? Believe me, believe me. In addition, this 'red clay deal' must be led by the 'Dongri Island government' behind it, and I am 800% sure that there is no need for evidence. The focus of your investigation now should not be on the errand runners of the soil and fat Masagaki but on the whereabouts of the red clay and to confirm whether the 'Tori Island government' has mastered the refining technology of 'rare gold'. If so, then you'd better find a way to get it. ”

Zhuge Dayu said: "Since you know 'Rare Gold', then the refining technology of it ......"

Mu Tang waved his hand: "Don't look at me, I really don't know this." The reason why I smelled 'rare gold' in the soil as soon as I smelled it was because I had smelled it before (1,800 years ago). I don't have any other advantages, it's just that I have a good memory. Whether you have eaten, smelled, or seen, you will never forget it. ”

Zhuge Dayu looked at Mu Tang and was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I know." It's hard for you to make a trip, I'll send you. ”

"No, no, no."

Zhuge Dayu still sent Mu Tang to the elevator door, and when the elevator door closed, he returned to his office. Wandering back and forth in the office for a while, after careful weighing and planning, Zhuge Dayu immediately sat down on the office chair, drew paper and pen, and wrote a paragraph.

At this time, if Mu Tang is here, take a glance at the paper, and you will find that this is a very short, but sincere love letter - but this is of course not a love letter, but a secret letter inside, just according to the code interpretation, you can get the words "trace the whereabouts of the red soil".

Zhuge Dayu lifted the internal phone, "Come to my office." ”

Soon, a woman in military uniform, who was not good-looking, walked in.

Zhuge Dayu said: "Take this telegram to 'Dongri Island'." ”

"Yes......"

Mu Tang left the intelligence station and was not in a hurry to return to the "Jinghua Academy" - it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no one at home at this point, so he wandered around the road and visited several tourist attractions along the way. It wasn't until about eight o'clock in the evening that he learned by phone that Tong Xiangyu and Qin Shuilian had gone home, so he summoned a car and rushed straight to the "Jinghua Academy".

At about half past nine, Mu Tang returned to Villa B13, but just knocked on the door twice, the door was pulled open from the inside, followed by two fluttering ponytails and a bright and bright smiling face appeared in front of Mu Tang's eyes, "Brother Mu, you are back!" ”

Mu Tang was slightly surprised, "Like Li?" Why are you here? ”

Yes, the girl with a double ponytail in front of her is the sister of "Tang Mu", Tang is like Li......
