Chapter 411: Birthday Party
"Do you have an idea?" Shang Luo came up with the concept of "cold brew pill" after he reminded him of thisβhe had just assembled what he had on hand according to Apollonia's suggestion.
"Sure enough, professionals are amazing, and you can find inspiration everywhere." He exclaimed, "So do you have any plans?" β
"I'm not going to take the one you just made. What's that called? β
"Ball number two?"
"Well, the number two ball." Zhu Xianene shook his head, "I don't have a big snake on hand, so I can't just stuff a big snake into it like you, so I won't try." But the snake pill itself can be studied - let me confirm again, your elements are snake molt, snake soul, and the water of the bitter sea? And then it was cold brewed out of the snake pill like the second ball? β
"I'm not sure if that's counted, after all, I don't know if I can eat it yet."
"You can eat it, come and eat me." Ball No. 2 suddenly came out with a sentence.
"Shut up! You can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and you can't eat anything. β
"You've worked hard. I have to take care of that young lady, I have to take care of many Tianyi nobles, and now I have to look at this snake. β
Zhu Xianene is one of the few people who knows about the existence of Apollonia. Because he directly obtained information from Dao Ancestor, he also witnessed many big events.
[Eh, Shang Luo, you ask him]
"Is that so?" Shang Luo relayed Apollonia's question just now, "She said that it was her birthday during the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, and many friends would come together. She wants to ask if you're available. β
"Oh~~ No one has invited me to a birthday party for many years. I'll look at the schedule. He flipped back to the notebook on his desk.
When he turned the page, his face darkened. After turning a few pages, his whole complexion was about to collapse.
"Tsk, fortunately you asked me to go out to eat, otherwise my whole person would have been crushed in the past few days, right, I'll take a look. I did have something to do at that time, after all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, the ceremony of sacrificing the moon has been sacrificed at the Xiyue Altar at the time of the autumn equinox, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is not an ancient ritual for three generations, but a folk custom. So there was no business that night, only a family banquet, and a night market to visit after dinner, so it won't be too late to eat, what time do you have your birthday? β
"Wait. She said around nine and ten p.m. β
"That's no problem. Then I will go over after the family banquet, and I have to accompany my mother and grandmother, as well as my aunt, second aunt and fourth uncle to eat first. I'll save some stomach - by the way, has she decided what to eat? She's a Roman, so she's going to have cake on her birthday, right? β
She said. She's going to eat barbecue. β
"Barbecue? Barbecue on the big night? What kind of middle-aged uncle's off-work dinner you know our family's habits, our family dinner table is full of meat. Can you get something light?"
[Don't!] I must eat barbecue! Be sure to eat the oily barbecue! γ
That's what she said. Shangluo repeated Apollonia's request.
"Otherwise, how about I bring some snacks? You can't put all the barbecue on one table, right? Don't you need a little delicate crystal lamb dumplings when you go to the barbecue? β
[It turned out to be this kind of confectionery!] Okay, well, I knew that the recipes of the old Zhu family would definitely not disappoint me. Then please be sure to have a little lighter, and it's better to be lighter. γ
"Your tastes are really good."
"How? What did she say? The opinion of the birthday boy is very important. β
"She said it was totally fine." Shang Luo wondered if he would bring some other snacks to neutralize it. Although the relationship between these two people is incompatible, the taste of food is surprisingly consistent, they are 100% carnivores, and I am afraid that some chopped green onions or dumpling wrappers can be regarded as vegetarians.
"Good, good." Zhu Xianene became happy, "I'm looking forward to celebrating my birthday with you now." Oh yes, there were still your classmates back then, right? Then you can say that I call me Zhu Ye. β
"No problem."
"Ah, I'll look at the time." He looked at the wall clock in the room, "That's it." How about we go out and walk around? β
"Turn? But aren't you busy?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm in a good mood, let's go out for a walk. Where do you want to go? β
"I'll decide? That's it."
He really had a place he wanted to go: "I want to go to the weaving bureau." β
20 minutes later, the Jingpu Line should be Tianfuya Station, the next stop is Jinjikou, and the next stop Shangluo will be home.
"So the weaving bureau is so close?"
Wearing peaked caps, Shang Luo and Zhu Xianene walked out of the subway station. Both of them have now bought monthly passes, and they can enter and exit at any time wherever they go, without thinking about the perforated paper tape in and out of the station.
But the weaving bureau was surprisingly close. This road is the Hanzhong Road that leads directly to the Hanzhong Gate, and it is straight. From here, he could see the stop sign of the subway station in front of his house.
"So the lot in your house and your school is the first class. On the contrary, the place where I live is very remote, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk from the door to the nearest subway station. Do you see that? The sign hanging on the side of the road is the weaving bureau. β
The bronze plaques of the weaving bureau hang along the street, surrounded on all sides by high walls, and a quiet research institute encloses in the downtown area where every inch of land is at a premium. Diagonally opposite the weaving bureau is the Yingtianfu Yamen, which is one of the best giant yamen. The area of this yamen is larger than the royal palaces of many vassal states, and it is larger than Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, and it has the size of three major halls compared to the Forbidden City. The weaving bureau next door is also quite large, taking up an entire plot in the city center.
Enclosed by a high wall, a low-key door opened on the south side of the street, and a forbidden army wearing black top hats stood guard at the door.
Zhu Xianene stepped forward under the gaze of the forbidden army and took out a token.
The guards looked at it.
"Wait a minute." He calmly picked up the phone and made a call inside.
After a while, a brocade guard came out, and a "three-cylinder" mark was hung on his hat with Velcro.
"Who's coming to me when it's almost time to get off work." He stood at the door and saw Zhu Xianene at a glance:
"Ah~~ It's you, come on, come on, what wind blew you. Walk inside, walk inside. As if nothing had happened, he pulled Zhu Xianene into the door. As soon as he got out of the sight from the outside, he took two steps back and took a deep look: "My emperor, why did you suddenly run over?" Is something big going on?"
"It's fine. It's Shang Luo who wants to see if their team's uniforms are ready. β
"Scared me." The brocade guard with three cylinders on his head breathed a sigh of relief, "You want to rush the construction period, right?" Normally, I'm doing this here. Delivered in the morning? I'll give you a call and ask. β
"I'll introduce you to youβbut I don't need to introduce you. This is the third child of the Weaving Bureau, and he usually stays here without moving. If I'm not mistaken, his house seems to be quite close to yours? So I walked to work in the morning. Come on, you guys add Feixin. Later, if you come to the weaving bureau again, just look for him, and you can come whenever you want. β
Take a break today, and three more tomorrow
