Chapter 130: Ice Cream in Damascus

Alexandria symbolizes the culmination of alchemy in the "Six Romes", which was also the city of scholars. The entire city will be under the administration of the Council of Sages in the Palace of the Muses, and high walls will surround it.

The Library of Alexandria is the heart of the city, and this massive temple-like building has been hollowed out. The huge ivory-white columns still dominate the library's faΓ§ade, but the inside has been fitted with a glass curtain wall. Bright white internal light shines from every floor of the library, as well as from the massive glass ceiling.

Like a giant greenhouse, the library is open day and night, both during the day and at night. It is also frequented by students day and night.

Ice cream is spread out in the plaza in front of the library. Students' money is best earned, and it's the same everywhere. Students walked around the square in pairs of threes and burritos with ice cream and burritos, and some were lining up.

The vendor shook the ice bucket vigorously, and the copper bells on the ice bucket shook in tandem with the cool breeze of the night. When Shang Luo and his party walked to the ice cream stand, there were still three students left in the line.

As if to distinguish themselves from the other "NPCs" in the city, the students here are dressed in pajamas and pajamas, and wear cute and classic conical nightcaps with stars painted on them. Some are full of stars, some are one star with two stars, ranging from 6 to 16 years old. Alexander's night was spotless, and neither of them wore shoes, but stood barefoot here.

The wind blew the unfamiliar breath to the front, and standing at the end of the line was a little girl. Wearing blue pajamas with two tiny stars on her nightcap. A few strands of short curly hair peeked out from the stuffed nightcap, and the amount of hair at a young age was very large.

She and Shang Luo glanced at each other.

"Be sure to get in line." She spoke in fluent Chinese.

"Huh? Oh, I'll be sure to line up. ”

"I mean, you're here for the first time, aren't you? You have to stick to the queue! You have to wait in line to get a delicious ice cream roll. ”

Titus explained, "The shop actually sells three types of ice cream. Sorbet ice cream, posa ice cream, and roll ice cream. Sorbet is made by soaking ice cream balls in juice and then sealing them with cream; Bossa is a creamy ice cream mixed with maltose and pounded with a large mallet to make a springy cone-shaped ice cream. Neither sorbet nor Bossa need to wait, just take it out of the freezer. ”

He pointed to the ice bucket that was spinning with "jingle bells": "If you want to eat the most distinctive ice cream rolls, you have to queue up." Depending on the taste you need, the seasoned ice cream puree is poured over the ice bucket in a circle, and when shoveled down, it becomes a thick roll with yogurt, jam and nuts. ”

"Ah, I'll eat it." Shang Luo fell into a difficult choice.

He turned back to the other three men. If you want to wait, it's better to wait together.

"I don't care." Han Xingzhi pushed his eyes, "I'm a little thirsty, let's bring some juice." ”

"I'm going to eat bouncy!" Wen Yuan replied, "I haven't eaten elastic ice cream yet. ”

"What about you?" Shang Luo asked Lu Liang, who was standing behind.

"No matter how much you eat, won't you gain weight?"

"It should be. I'm in Bigu right now, and I can eat it too. I guess it's something from the night, probably in another stomach. ”

"It's just wonderful! I taboo every day, you know? ”

"I can see that. The last time I went to your house for dinner, your stew tasted good, but the table was full of stews in various senses, and only one was stewed eggplant. ”

"Because my dad told me to eat more meat, eat more meat to get stronger, and he said that everyone who can eat it eats like this."

"There is one thing to say, people who can eat do eat like this." He eats all-you-can-eat every time in Zhu Xianen. Even Dao Ancestor didn't interfere with Zhu Xianene's diet, thinking that eating like this would be good for cultivating immortals, at least there would be no harm.

"So give me some fruit! Eat something vegetarian. I want to eat some normal juice. ”

"That's the sorrel? Well. Let me think about it. ”

Since no one else was going to wait, he wasn't waiting. Listen to the description. Posa seems to be a snow-topped juice that can be mixed to make a milkshake. Milkshake words, he'd drunk before.

But this ice cream that has been beaten with maltose, this one is very distinctive. Worthy of the famous cold drink shop in Damascus in the 3rd century, this dim sum is very creative.

"That's decided, I'm going to have Bosa cone ice cream."

"Ahhhh The little girl at the front of the line stood up and said, "I'm so angry!" I've said that ice cream cones are the best. Ahhh Why don't you eat it! I'm! ”

failed to convince Shang Luo, and it seemed that her young heart had suffered a huge blow.

Shang Luo bent down and said to her, "But big brother, I'm a little busy today. Do you see our clothes? We're not natives of Alexandria, we're busy. So little sister you see"

"I'll treat you to it!" She held up a silver drachma, "I'll give you my seat!" Mine is almost ready, strawberry and blueberry flavored. Because you're a guest, you should definitely try the ice cream roll! ”

Shang Luo walked out with a small cardboard box, and inside the carton was a big roll, which was rolled into a thick cylinder like pumping paper. The red and blue ice creams are intertwined with each other, and they have a unique flavor when eaten separately or together.

"Well, it tastes really good~" It's so delicious that my jaw is wrinkled. The first bite is very creamy, and the taste is surprisingly good. It is dense and tough, and after melting, cream flows down the tip of the tongue. It's a real taste that flows from history, the best flavors that the Roman Guard has selected for thousands of years, and finally presented in this small ice cream stand.

The stall owner took the silver coin with his free hand, washed it in clean water, and then began to make the next one. The eternal smile hung on his face, and it was this happy smile that made him photographed and preserved as a classic.

"Huh~~" Lu Liang on the side looked at him with disdain, "Trick the child into eating ice cream." ”

"She was going to invite me to eat herself. I don't know why, but I always attract people to feed me."

"That's right." Wen Yuan nodded, "Some special physiques will always attract something, for example, I will always attract bullets." I was also worried about whether I would eat ice cubes when I ate this ice cream. Will it? ”

He asked Titus next to him.

"I've heard about it from your master. But here you can rest assured that the ice cream stand is just a snapshot of history, so the ice cream produced is of the same quality no matter how many years have passed. Well, unless there's a problem with the stall. ”

"Could this be a problem too?" Shang Luo asked.

"Just like a vending machine, silhouettes occasionally malfunction, and some students love to talk to them, and many of them are broken. The following arrangement is."

Suddenly, a Roman horn sounded from the direction of the Alexandria Lighthouse.

"You're in luck." He glanced at Wen Yuan, who didn't notice that he was still eating a popsicle.

"Then in the next one, let's go see Caesar's triumphal ceremony. Caesar is almost here. ”
