Chapter 81: Imperial Food

At half past five in the morning, the imperial meal was delivered.

This is the legendary imperial meal - fried lamb with green onions, stir-fried pork with yellow cabbage, steamed hooves, steamed gluten stuffed meat, the soup is a white soup stewed out of the fish after frying, with a large bowl of rice for one person, and two side dishes of spicy rabbit and crystal mutton dumplings, with a cup of tea.

Shang Luo sat dumbfounded in front of a table of dishes. There are bright stars on his head, and steaming hooves in front of him. At your feet are mountains and rivers of mercury, and oil flowers float on the fish soup. The fragrance of orchids fills the area, and the pork and lamb are filled with fragrant sea peppers.

"Come on." Zhu Xianene opened the disposable chopsticks, "Eat, eat, I'll move first." ”

Shang Luo stiffened his head and also disassembled the chopsticks. These dishes are not even served on a plate, but are routine dishes. From stir-fried vegetables to steamed hooves, it's all a small portion per person. When it was delivered, it was wrapped in insulated tin foil, packed in a delicate food box, and a seal was attached.

Sitting in front of a table of dishes, the overwhelming aroma pressed towards him. Each dish was piled with a layer of oil, shiny, and completely inconsistent with Shang Luo's definition of breakfast. But the dishes look really good, especially the hooves. The hooves are steamed until they are soft and deboned without losing their shape, and the skin can be separated with a light stroke of the chopsticks, but the pork knuckle meat under the skin does not fall apart.

Both plates of stir-fry are quite effortful. When I sent it, it had been sitting for a long time, but the sauce at the bottom of the plate was not layered, and it was still hanging on the meat and vegetables. When the heat wafts up, you can even smell the "pot gas", which is no different from the one that has just come out of the pot.

"Your Majesty, these are... Imperial meals? of the Imperial Dining Room. ”

"It's not." Zhu Xianene was patiently picking the fish bones with chopsticks, "This is the takeaway I ordered-the imperial dining room has to get off work." Where to find an imperial chef to cook at four o'clock in the morning, this point can only order takeout. ”

"Oh... That's right. Shang Luo was startled, he thought that the imperial meal would eat "this" in the morning.

"But it's really the imperial meal, the takeaway I ordered at the Fangshan Restaurant. To be honest, the dishes cooked by the former Imperial Chef are better than those made by the in-service Imperial Chef..."

After eating two more chopsticks, Zhu Xianene finally reacted: "Ah, you think it's strange to eat this in the morning of the imperial meal, right?" It seems to be a little, I remember when I was in college, I didn't have these things to eat in the cafeteria in the morning, so I had to go to the second floor and order my own food. On the contrary, I think you are very strange, everyone gets a salary of a few dozen taels a month, why don't you eat more meat? What do you do with so much rice? What do you think? ”

Shang Luo's eyes turned: I'm looking for him to do something now, so let's promise a few words.

"Yes, to live is to eat more meat!"

"Incisive!" Zhu Xianene put down his chopsticks and applauded him, "This truth was realized by Grandpa Tai in the year of Hongwu." So whoever wants to change the menu I'm the first to disagree, how can you be energetic if you don't eat some hooves early in the morning? It's hot at noon, shouldn't you have some spicy kidneys and mustard lamb tripe? Those people out there, fake serious. It is said that the imperial food is all "burnt and thick", what is "the smell is strong, and it has lost its original taste", and in recent years, it has been said that these are unhealthy junk foods. Do you think it's unhealthy? ”

Shang Luo realized. The plate of fried mutton with green onions in front of me made me appetizing, and my thinking suddenly broadened:

"Healthy! It's so healthy! This has meat and vegetables, this vegetarian dish... You see, this green onion is vegetarian and very healthy. Eating is to eat happily, why can't you get along with your stomach. ”

"Well said! Drink tea. He handed Shang Luo the teapot, and Shang Luo reached out and took a cup to relieve his greasy.

Half of the water was poured, and Zhu Xianene suddenly said, "Oh yes, there's something I want you to do me a favor." ”

Shang Luo's hands shook in fright, but he still took the cupβ€”he knew that this meal was probably not for nothing.

"Uh... Is there anything wrong with His Majesty the Son of Heaven? ”

"You're from the Wutai Mountain Academy, right? I have something I want you to bring for me, it's a student at your school. He will give you the money, you just take it, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. Don't let you run in vain, the money will be divided into 30%, and you will bring back 7 achievements. ”

Shang Luo was startled, he thought it was something big. It turned out to be a paid errand, which was not a big problem, and it happened to be on the way.

I had money to run errands along the way, and I also had a hearty (over-the-top) breakfast. I have to say, this is not a loss.

"But, Your Majesty the Son of Heaven, may I ask what this thing is?"

"Some small by-products of alchemy, I ship them through some channels, which can be regarded as a small side business. But I'm actually afraid of being recognized, because my head is on a silver coin and in the newspapers. If you are recognized, won't it become front-page news? So I thought I could ask you for help. ”

When it comes to side hustles, Shang Luo understands. The carpenter work of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is also to be shipped, and now this Dan Dao seems to be more professional and smarter, of course he also has to ship.

"So you get it, right? And in addition to the problem of revealing my identity, in fact, sometimes I am quite busy. Don't look at me here in the morning for alchemy, in fact, I have to go to approve the folds after 10 o'clock, and after the folds, I have to have dinner with the elder Ge. I didn't want Jinyiwei to know what I was doing, so sometimes I took the subway myself to ship. It's a waste of time to go back and forth, and sometimes I have to get stuck and get back. Yes! The Emperor Ancestor called you this morning to solve the urgent need, how about it, can you help me ship the goods? I'll give you three... Oh no, how about giving you forty percent? I'll give you another 10%. ”

"Ahh

Seems like no problem?

It seems to be fine. He doesn't seem to be very busy, and he doesn't need to spend all day there even when it's a race car – after all, he's not a race car driver, and he doesn't have to practice driving.

"What do you think, Apollonia?"

[Good thing. After you have a good relationship with him, except for pills like Tsukidan that can't find someone to help, you can ask him for help with other formulas. He is right, cultivating immortals means helping each other. You help him save time, and he saves you time, which is good. 】

Apollonia was consulted, and he agreed to Zhu Xianne.

"Very well, then we will contact Feixin later. I will inform you three days in advance if there are any arrangements, and you can arrange the time yourself. If I really don't have time to say it, I'll take the time to go for a run. But you can solve the cost of the road yourself, and divide 4% of your expenses, including the cost of the road. If you run errands for me two or three times a week, you should be able to earn a lot of pocket money. There's one thing you need to be aware of, though. 】

"What's the matter?"

"I seem to be quite famous in your school and other schools... So you'd better cut down on some trading hours and don't let them pull you around and ask questions. You can make up excuses yourself when you need to, and you don't have to ask me. In this matter, you can act cheaply, as long as I can ship it, I don't care about anything else. The radish medicine you want will probably be refined in the next few days, just give me the payment when you come. ”
