005 Extravagant lunch
After the table was laid out, a dozen little eunuchs walked in. Each of these little eunuchs carried two vermilion lacquer boxes painted with golden dragons.
Zhao Yindong stood at the table, and the little eunuchs walked up to him one by one.
Xiao Dongzi opened the food box in the eunuch's hand, took out the silver plate inside, and put it on the table in front of him.
The dishes on that plate were so beautiful that they looked like paintings.
Chu Ran could only recognize some of them as chickens, ducks, fish, as well as sea cucumbers and shrimps. As for some of the other complex meals, it is not known what the dishes are.
Xiao Dongzi took a golden bowl and a pair of silver chopsticks and put them in front of Chu Ran, then took a step back slightly, half-bowing his head. But his eyes always glanced at Chu Ran, and at the same time, he also held a pair of silver chopsticks in his hand.
After roughly counting, there were at least a hundred dishes on the table more than four meters long in front of him.
The emperor is too good to eat!
At this time, Chu Ran suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
Although I had roughly seen the emperor's meal on TV before, it was TV after all. Due to the cost of production, it is not possible to serve so many dishes at once.
And now there are more than 100 genuine dishes in front of him, and there are so many dishes that Chu Ran feels that his head is about to be stunned.
Take the dish not far to the left, which looks a little like dumplings and a little like a wonton. The thin skin has a tender pink color, but it is much different from the shrimp dumplings, and it looks more exquisite.
There are only two dumplings on a plate, accompanied by unknown leafy greens, and two flowers carved from unknown ingredients in the middle.
The whole dish looked more like a painting, and Chu Ran had seen such an exquisite dish once upon a time.
Xiao Dongzi on the side saw Chu Ran's gaze looking at the dish, and hurriedly straightened up slightly. After walking to the dish, he grabbed a "dumpling" with the silver chopsticks in his hand, walked quickly to Chu Ran, and put the "dumpling" in the golden bowl in front of him.
"Mutton crystal dumplings, the emperor will try them."
Taking a step back, Xiao Dongzi said softly.
Nodding, Chu Ran picked up the dumpling.
Put it in your mouth and the dumplings melt in your mouth. The rich aroma of the mutton inside spreads all at once, not only is it not fat at all, but it is extremely delicious.
Next, Chu Ran ate a few more dishes, no matter which dish it was, it was extremely delicious. He was sure that he had never eaten such delicious food in his life.
It's just that the fly in the ointment is that almost all the dishes in front of me are a little cold. It's not like in the real world, where hot dishes are always steaming.
"How much silver do I need for a meal?"
After eating almost, Chu Ran put down his chopsticks and asked Xiao Dongzi on the side.
It is obviously too wasteful for one person to eat more than a hundred dishes in one meal. It's true that the food is delicious, but one can eat it again.
After calculating just now, Chu Ran couldn't even finish a bite of each dish.
Of course, he is now in time, and it is impossible for him to make any changes to the diet on the first day of his accession to the throne. After all, if that's the case, it's definitely going to be eye-catching. But the price of a meal, he still wants to know.
"If you go back to the emperor, the slave is also the first time to accompany you to the imperial meal, how can you know this." When Xiao Dongzi heard the emperor ask this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It's just that according to what the slave saw, this table is indispensable for two hundred taels of silver." ”
Two hundred taels!
That's a lot!
From the memories of the original owner of this body, Chu Ran knew that the weight of currency in this world was somewhat different from that of the ancient world in the real world.
In ancient times, a catty was 16 taels, and a catty in the Great Xia Kingdom was the same as in the modern world of the real world, and it was also ten taels.
And a tael of gold can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver, and a tael of silver is equivalent to 1,000 copper plates.
According to the analysis of the prices learned in memory, a copper plate in the Great Xia Kingdom is equivalent to a dollar in the real world.
In other words, one tael of silver is equivalent to 1,000 yuan in the real world.
And such a royal meal costs 200,000 yuan in the real world.
According to two meals a day, it is nearly 150,000 taels of silver in a year.
This would be more than 100 million if it were converted into real-world currency.
And this is just one of the things to eat, and there are more expenses in the palace, big and small. I'm afraid that the emperor's meal is still a small amount of money among the many expenses.
In this way, the annual expenses of a palace are probably astronomical.
With just one meal, Chu Ran appreciated the royal luxury.
"Let's go, I'm a little tired, I need to go back and rest for a while."
Standing up, Chu Ran commanded.
He didn't really want to rest, but to go back to the real world. If not, you won't be a pig if you sleep after eating.
Counting the time, it's almost an hour since I got back from the real world.
Chu Ran deduced that the mutant cat should also leave.
He shuttles between two dimensions, avoiding others. And going back to rest is the best explanation.
When he was returning to the palace, Chu Ran suddenly saw something on the side of the road, and reached out and grabbed it in the storage space.
Ten minutes later, Chu Ran returned to the dormitory. After instructing Xiao Dongzi not to disturb anyone, and put a sword hanging on the wall of the dormitory into the storage space, Chu Ran returned to the real world.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Chu Ran was stunned.
The mutant cat did not leave, but lazily lay on the top bunk bed and fell asleep.
But in the next moment, the mutant cat seemed to smell the smell of Chu Ran's body. Suddenly, I opened my eyes.
Roar!!!
The mutant cat yelled and was about to pounce on Chu Ran.
Taking out the sword in the storage space, Chu Ran wanted to fight with it. But the next moment, his eyes moved, and he took out another thing from the storage space.
"Roar!! The mutant cat screamed and pounced towards Chu Ran, but the next moment, it suddenly stopped.
"Meow ......"
The mutant cat squinted its eyes half-squint, and actually let out a cat meow.
It really worked!
Seeing the appearance of the mutant cat, Chu Ran was overjoyed, and it also confirmed his thoughts.
On the way back to the dormitory from the Qiankun Palace, he saw two plants similar to dog's tail grass on the flower bed on the side of the road. I didn't think much about it at the moment, and I got it into the storage space.
Chu Ran had teased the orange cat of the dormitory aunt with the dog's tail grass before, and the orange cat was having a lot of fun at that time.
And now seeing the two dog tail grasses in Chu Ran's hands, the mutant cat really reacted.
"It seems that despite the mutations, the nature of cats is still there."
Saying that the time was in a hurry, Chu Ran threw the two dog tail grasses on the bed without hesitation.
The mutant cat pounced straight towards the dog's tail grass, and the next moment it was having fun.
Taking advantage of this time, Chu Ran raised his sword and fell, and slashed the sword in his hand towards the mutant cat's neck with the strength of milk.
The dog's tail grass seemed to be very attracted to the mutant cat, and it even forgot to hide at this time.
Poof!
Maybe it was the palace's sword itself that was extremely sharp, or maybe Chu Ran's strength had increased after eating canned herring. This sword actually cut off the mutant cat's head.
In the end, the mutant cat didn't even have time to scream, and it whimpered for its life.
Call!
Seeing the mutant cat hacked to death, Chu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[Kill low-level mutant creatures, increase power points by 3]
There were only three energy points, which made Chu Ran a little disappointed.
This place is not to stay for long!
After killing the mutant cat, Chu Ran resolutely decided to leave the dormitory.
The entire corridor outside the dormitory smelled foul, but fortunately, from the fourth floor to the first floor, for some reason, there were no zombies.
Walking out of the dormitory building, when Chu Ran was hesitating in which direction to go, several figures appeared in the distance. Those figures were running quickly, and after a while, they arrived not far from Chu Ran.
"There's someone over there!" The other party found Chu Ran, and someone shouted.
"It's not a zombie, it's a human!" It seems that someone saw that Chu Ran did not look like a zombie.
"Classmates! Come on, let's go together! ”
After listening to the words of those people, Chu Ran hesitated slightly, and then walked in the direction of those people.
