Chapter 7 A bowl of noodle soup

In Chang'an after the rain, the air is filled with the aroma of earth. The street vendors began to set up stalls one after another, Chen Laohan at the mouth of the alley of the South Gate set up the old Chen Bao (馎饦: Shaanxi food hemp food, the Tang Dynasty called Fa 馎饦), the best broth is steaming, the hot oil in the pot is poured into the green onion, the fragrance immediately disperses, causing the people around to swallow saliva. Pour in the boiled broth. The soup boils, pour in the hemp noodles, boil twice and sprinkle in the coriander. The third time boiled out of the pot, steaming dumplings, the sauce-colored soup in the bowl was dotted with a little green coriander (yansui) (coriander was named coriander in the Tang Dynasty, and some people in the countryside of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo were also called coriander, which is the name handed down by the ancients), a bowl of hemp noodles with full color and fragrance ushered in its first guest on Chang'an Street.

In the palace with high walls, the subordinates of each palace began a busy day, preparing breakfast for the masters of each palace in a hurry. Here Chen Xiaoliu also couldn't stop the rumbling stomach, and secretly took the little golden dragon to grope in private, I heard that the ancient imperial dining room was very big and there were a lot of delicious food, I couldn't imagine that I could eat a dish made by the imperial kitchen in my lifetime, I don't know if there are steamed buns to eat.

"Little Golden Dragon, do you say that the steamed steamed buns in this imperial kitchen taste the same as the steamed buns I used to eat?" The little golden dragon grabbed the cuffs of Chen Xiaoliu with two paws, and the golden head cautiously poked outside.

"I don't know, I don't eat vegetarian either, I only eat meat, especially chicken thighs, but I don't smell the drumsticks. "A palace from the inside to the outside, only found a room that looked like a kitchen, and there were not even ingredients in it, let alone chicken thighs and steamed buns.

"Little Golden Dragon, use your excellent soul power to find where the chicken legs?" Chen Xiaoliu grabbed the little golden dragon on his sleeve, and the little golden dragon that was grabbed upside down had no place for the four paws, and privately fluttered and shouted: "I am a dragon, I also have dignity, and I am not a dog, you let me go quickly." Looking at the little golden dragon's stubborn and uncompromising appearance, Chen Xiaoliu laughed and put the little golden dragon in the palm of his hand. "Okay, then don't eat it, I'm not particularly hungry anyway, but some people may not be able to eat chicken legs. "No, don't, I'll smell and look for it again." As he spoke, he heard footsteps. Coming to the little girl who called Caiyi yesterday, by the way, what is the name.

"The slave maid has seen the martial girl, I don't know what the fifth girl is looking for?" the little maid leaned over and asked without humility or arrogance.

"No, I'm just hungry, so I'm looking to see if there's anything to eat. ”

"The queen mother slept in the Ganlu Hall last night, and last night she specially instructed the slave maid to prepare the breakfast of the martial girl. The slave maid prepared breakfast and knocked on the door of the girl's room and no one answered, thinking that the girl was still asleep and did not bother, but I didn't expect the girl to be here, Miss Wu asked to come with the slave maid. Chen Xiaoliu followed Xiaocui to the room where she rested yesterday. When I entered the door, I saw a simple breakfast, a sesame cake, and a bowl of noodles on the table.

"Miss Wu, please eat, the slave maid is outside, you can tell the slave maid if there is anything."

"Okay, got it, thanks. "I still want to eat steamed buns, but sesame cakes can also be eaten, this noodle soup? The thumb-belly-sized noodles in the bowl are as distinct as rolled up cat ears, and the sauce is red soup. When I was a child, my mother also made this noodle and would put some tomatoes and spinach. Every time I am a picky eater, I will be scared by my mother, saying that children who don't eat vegetables don't grow tall. In order to grow taller, he will swallow spinach with his eyes closed. I don't know if my mother is doing well now, do you miss me......

"Master, master, what are you thinking?" The little golden dragon hanging on the edge of the bowl was about to knock the bowl over.

"Aren't you a vegetarian? Why do you want to taste this noodle? ”

"I see you've been staring at this bowl of noodles for a long time, and you won't agree to ask you, I want to see what's in this bowl. ”

"Nothing, it smells good. Picking up the soup spoon, Chen Xiaoliu fed it and put it in his mouth. This noodle is stronger than before, no wonder it looks like it is distinct, although each one is only the size of a thumb belly, but the threads engraved on the noodles can already be felt with the tongue when you eat it.

"Wow, it's delicious, little golden dragon, but it's a pity that some people don't eat vegetarian food, so they can't taste it. ”

"Give me a taste, I'll take a bite. ”

"No, no, no, you have to eat meat, eat chicken legs. The little golden dragon who couldn't grab it suddenly used his soul power to grow bigger, and swallowed the noodle soup along with the bowl in one bite. Chen Xiaoliu picked up the spoon in his hand and knocked on the little golden dragon's dragon's head.

"You're a dragon! Do you have any backbone, what about the bowl? Hurry up and spit it out for me!" Seeing that Xiao Liu was angry, Xiao Jinlong hurriedly spit out the bowl. "I haven't tasted it, master, don't be angry, I was wrong" Xiao Jinlong tugged on the sleeve of Xiao Liu's hand holding the soup spoon.

"I'm not angry, the bowl is porcelain, what if you choke? What if something happens to you?"

"Master, I know it's wrong. I won't dare to do it again, so forgive me this time. ”

"How's it going?" Do you think it's delicious?"

"Too fast, didn't taste it. ”

"Anyway, will all soul beasts be hungry? Ahri and Xiaoqing, will they be hungry, and what will they eat?"

"Soul beasts don't eat grains, they absorb the aura of heaven and earth and live, and they can cultivate by themselves. I didn't eat these before, but I became accustomed to eating them when you forced me to eat them, and occasionally I would think about chicken legs. ”

"Why don't I remember what you said at all?"

"Maybe it's because it's been a long time. A look of loneliness appeared on the little golden dragon's face. Chen Xiaoliu could see that Xiao Jinlong was nostalgic for the past, but he didn't have any memories of the past in his mind, and he didn't know if Xiao Jinlong recognized the wrong person, whether the person he was desperately protecting was himself, and if not, what should he do?

"Then Xiaoqing and Ahri do they need to let them go out to cultivate?

"Aura is the power of heaven and earth, it is everywhere, and it can be cultivated inside the void ring, but after all, the aura in the outside world is more abundant. ”

"Then bring them out now and let them cultivate. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiaocui see the queen's mother, and it was the queen who came.

"Aunt Hua, how was your rest last night?"

"Can you stop calling Aunt Hua, it's too ugly to hear this name, I always feel like it's a generation older than you. ”

"Okay, good" Queen Wang is wearing a white long dress today, holding a red silk scarf, hanging behind her waist, and the white skirt looks like snow. "What's your name?"

"Little Liu, call me Little Liu. ”

"Okay, you said that Xiaoliu will call you Xiaoliu, Xiaoliu can have breakfast and your appetite?"

"Yes, it tastes really good. Caiyi, have you had breakfast?"

"This is all prepared by the picture screen in your palace in the past, saying that you loved to eat this dumpling when you were in the palace. I had breakfast with the emperor and brought someone to you. ”

"Who?"

"Come in"

A woman slowly walked in from outside the door.
