Shang Luo didn't understand why he wanted to eat instant noodles tonight until the heat came up.

But it seems to taste pretty good, with the taste of pork and pepper.

The noodles are wrapped in oiled paper, and the packaging says that they are made with high-gluten flour and duck eggs. It's thicker than the instant noodles he's seen before, and the soaking time is longer, but after soaking it out, it looks quite chewy and quite Q-bomb.

The package reads "Delicious minced meat noodles". But there was nothing but flour and noodles, and I couldn't see where the "minced meat" was. But it only costs 1 wen and 5 jiao - like other manufactured products, this thing sells for a lot cheaper, much cheaper than a bowl of white rice for the same amount.

In other words, if you want to save money, it's best not to eat white rice, it's the cheapest thing to eat. In addition to minced meat noodles, there are other flavors such as three fresh noodles and egg noodles, which come from different manufacturers, but they are generally at this price point, and the taste is not much different.

"Hmm," Shang Luo tasted.

I have to say that this bread is still quite delicious. I've been soaking for a while, and I'm still quite chewy. The package says that it is more recommended to cook and eat, but the taste is not bad when soaked. The taste of the soup is quite average, after all, it is difficult to mix the complex taste of such a small packet of powder.

Thinking about it this way, the pack of instant egg drop soup that Lu Huaiyang gave him before tasted quite good, much better than this lackluster pack of instant noodles.

But Phaethon had a different view than he did.

"Slip and slip." She eats extremely fast. When Shang Luo reacted, she was already eating the second bowl. And the speed of eating noodles has not decreased at all, except for the subtle "sizzling" sound, there is no sound at all. It was the first time he had seen someone who could be so "decent" as a starving ghost.

"Is this delicious?"

She looked up from the bowl and swallowed the contents of her mouth first:

"It's not tasty."

"Then what are you doing eating so fast?"

"Because it's cool."

The simple and direct answer made Shang Luo not know what to say.

"Ah, thank you for your hospitality." Phaethon leaned back on the couch, limp like a cat next to the stove.

Four instant noodle bags and four bowls were left on the tabletop. Shang Luo on the opposite side hadn't even eaten the first bowl.

"Are you full?"

"Nope. But it's a little swollen, I'll eat some more later. ”

Shang Luo began to be glad that he didn't go out to eat tonight, otherwise he wouldn't be able to break the cost of this "treat" meal. Now a pack of instant noodles only costs 1 penny and 5 dimes, and it won't be in the way for her to eat a few more packs.

"Actually, you can eat something else. Why do you eat instant noodles? Those who eat three pennies are not unaffordable. ”

"You know what I usually eat, and you know why I love it."

"What?"

"Pomegranate and olives, and grape juice with honey. Only at the time of sacrifice can you eat a little meat, you can eat fat and head meat. These are the meals of the gods, and I must eat them according to this standard. ”

"The last time we met, you gave me your ration?"

"Yes. I've drunk it several times, and I'm sorry I grabbed you at the time, so I wanted to ask you to drink more, because that's what I usually drink. But you know, while the pomegranates, olives and grape juices are of great quality, I can't eat anything else. ”

Shang Luo can imagine that situation: pomegranates and olives are indeed delicious. But the pomegranate is all seeds, and the olives have only a little pulp. In addition to eating these, you can only eat wine, which is simply another level of "food style dew", which is slightly better than food style dew.

"So that instant noodle, although it has a simple taste, is very straightforward, and it doesn't even need to be chewed much. As long as you suck it in, ah, like all other beautiful things, instant noodles can be eaten in such a simple and elegant way. I love instant noodles and I eat them every day if I can. I'm fed up with the pits now, and I don't eat a bite of anything that I do. ”

"Then what are you buying so many melon seeds for?"

"I want to eat some of the meat in the pit and taste what it tastes like. Because pomegranates and olives can only be eaten by the skin. ”

"Isn't this kid a little miserable?"

[Some of them are good to eat, at least the pomegranate tube is enough, I haven't eaten a pomegranate yet. 】

"Huh? So what did you eat before? ”

[I said that I leaked my mouth. What a secret! It's a secret, don't ask. She muttered, and didn't reply.

"Miss Phaethon, I want to ask you a question. What Apollonia usually eats. ”

"Huh? Didn't she tell you? It's not a secret. ”

[Ah!! A sucker! Don't say it! 】

"She didn't eat after eight months. But since you asked, I'll tell you. ”

Two people are completely on two channels. Apollonia screamed in her throat, but Phaeux couldn't hear a single word.

"Apollonia is. Pythia. ”

Everything was quiet. After the truth was revealed, it was useless for Apollonia to say anything.

"Pythia? Do you say yes, Pythia of Delphi? ”

"Yes." Phaethon nodded, "Apollonia is inherited from the classical era, and this generation of Pythia is not the one in charge of divination in the temple now, she is the real thing." In other words, she was born as the 'Son' of the entire Greek world. Occultly speaking, she is the real son of the moon. If thousands of years ago, she would have been the priest-king of the entire Greek world, the leader of Athens, Sparta, and all the other Greek city-states. ”

"I see, so what was her original name?"

"Her name is Apollonia, just like my name is Phaethon, and it's all part of the armor ceremony. Or rather, my father was able to ascend to the god Helios without the help of this sister - well, but Apollonia didn't have a choice. She was only 8 months old when the Lighthouse Project began, a decision my father made for her. As a true god, not a demigod, she was not able to preserve her body. ”

It's a bit brutal indeed. A child who has not had time to make a choice loses his body before he realizes it. And no wonder Apollonia hated him.

"I'm sorry. I'm not going to make fun of you about it anymore. You can't eat either, can you? ”

Apollonia muttered, "Actually, I'm quite honored to be born as Pythia. As for the matter of ascending to the gods itself, I don't have any opinions now. Although it is a bit lonely to be a god, the divine power itself is also addictive. And it's all fun when I meet you, except that I still can't eat. Ah, if I could eat instant noodles in my life, even if it is a pomegranate, it will be even better. 】

She went on to say:

[But I still wrote down this hatred.] It's one thing for me to think it's good, it's another thing for him to make me like this without my permission, it's another thing - there is a difference of dozens of years between him and me, and I can be my father at any age. Using such a small sister as a tool, he is really a big villain. I won't forgive him, I won't call him brother for the rest of my life, and I will definitely take revenge on him if I have the chance. 】
