Chapter 715: Stone Heart
"Oh!" Wen Yuan's eyes lit up, "You are very good at eating!" The authentic way to eat cold noodles in Pyongyang is dog meat β the one who gave him a portion of dog meat. β
"Okay, one for the beef and one for the dog."
Wen Yuan then asked, "Mr. Titus, you like dog meat very much?" β
"Who doesn't like dog meat, even Germanic barbarians know that dog meat is delicious."
"Okay, good, you've come to the right place if you love dog meat. Then give Mr. Titus another Four Seasons Soup. I'll have another warm meal, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough cold noodles - well, that's all. β
"Huh! Wait! Han Xingzhi hurriedly said, "I haven't ordered yet!" β
"I almost forgot about you. Wait. Wen Yuan closed the menu: "What kinds of noodles do you have?" β
"White noodles, sweet potato noodles, potato noodles, rice noodles, soba noodles"
"Soba. Give him a soba noodle, but don't add any seasoning, don't add any oil and salt, and soak him in plain water. β
"Okay." The waiter didn't ask why, but went back and ordered.
Cold noodles were served.
In front of the three of them were shiny copper plates.
"Oh yo, this is terrible." Titus lamented, "Although the soup is cold, you can smell the aroma of the stock and fish sauce. Because the fish sauce has a slight spoilage taste, fruit is added to the soup to neutralize the spoilage smell. My impression changed completely, I thought that Korea was just another barbarian, but this dish - this dish, I would recommend His Majesty Victoria to eat it as well, because it was completely in line with the taste of the Romans. Fish sauce, stock, and various ways to mix, neutralize, and highlight the flavors in the stock, this is how the Romans cooked. And this pickle! β
"Rome also has pickles?"
"Yes. We also pickle kimchi to a sweet and sour appearance, and all kinds of vegetables are pickled. And this sauce! β
"Dog meat sauce?"
"Yes, yes, Roman cuisine also has a variety of sauces. We also use a variety of sauces in the feast. It's simply the Roman cuisine of the East! If you don't mind, I'd like to try it right now! β
"Please, eat, eat, eat." He made a gesture of please. The other party is more than two rounds older than him, and he has to respect a little.
"Well, but that's it." Wen Yuanxin said: If the Romans all eat this way, it would be quite cold. However, the last time he had a banquet at Lake Nemi, he did notice the lack of means of cooking Roman cuisine. At that time, he didn't feel cold, probably because of the abundance of ingredients.
"I don't know if Shang Luo can get used to eating" He glanced at Han Xingzhi next to him, who looked like he wanted to cry without tears - the same copper plate, only the soba noodles soaked in water were in his bowl, and there were even ice ballast floating on the cold water. But now he has to eat even if he doesn't eat, because he doesn't have anything to eat except this.
Staring at Han Xingzhi and taking a bite, he began to eat.
"Smack." There was a strange sound aheadβ
"Excuse me, where's the toilet?" Titus covered his face and stood up, looking anxious.
"Over there."
Without saying anything else, Titus stood up and left.
Wen Yuan didn't think much about it, lowered his head and continued to eat noodles.
"Something is wrong." He looked up suddenly, "I just heard a 'poof' sound. What is it? β
"Second brother. I saw it," Han Xingzhi's eyes straightened, "I saw him take that thing out of the soup bowl. Because the thing fell into the soup bowl with a 'poof'. β
"What's that?"
"It's his eyeballs! Golden eyeballs! That's not the texture of the meat seems to be. It's gold! β
"Poof." Victoria, who was drinking soup, suddenly put down her spoon, "I'm sorry, I'm going to miss you." β
Covering her mouth, Victoria walked out briskly.
"She's weird today." Phaethon wondered, "Did you eat a bad stomach?" Doesn't that seem normal just now, does it? β
She looked at Shang Luo, but saw solemnity in Shang Luo's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"She didn't have a bad stomach."
[Hmm]
"What's wrong? What do you see? β
[You may not be able to see it now, but Shang Luo and I have noticed. Her heart. Stopped jumping. She covered her mouth because of a heart attack. γ
"You see?"
"I didn't pay attention at first. Because there was a constant oscillating sound in the room, I always thought it was the clockwork of some clock. The result is that her heart is constantly shaking. β
[I realized from the beginning that her heart was not a physical body. But at first I thought it was some kind of medical device, and I didn't find Shang Luo until I stopped jumping, and I found it too, right? γ
"Stones." Shang Luo said in a deep voice, "Her heart is a stone. β
Puff, puff, invisible fluctuations came from outside the door again, mixed with a hint of stagnation of rock friction.
"Whew-" Wearing a breathing mask, Victoria gulped down the phlogiston in the bottle.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have let me out. Your stone core needs 24-hour monitoring. β
"I understand that I just want to stay the same way I am in front of my friends, at least not so weak. But I didn't expect that I couldn't hold up a meal. β
"Why don't I go back and say you're not feeling sick to your stomach?"
"No need. They already see it. β
Putting down the phlogiston, Victoria walked back.
Standing in her seat, she didn't sit down. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Okay." Victoria looked up, "I'll be honest. I'm cursed, but I'm also stronger. β
"I see." Shang Luo nodded, "The strength has become great. So, what's the situation? β
[Because the dragon and the serpent are transposing, and the venom of the serpent is corrupting the existence of the Romans. However, after being gradually rejected by the world, his power gradually began to surpass this world. γ
"Of course, it doesn't just get stronger." Victoria adds, "It is the corroded body that is processed into a usable heart. β
"Is it after processing? And what about before processing? What will become of you when the corrosion starts? β
"Marble. The appearance of pristine marble, holy white. It's nice to be a statue, but if you find that your body is starting to look like that, it's not so good β and it's not lucky, we usually paint those marble statues in color, and white molds are like no clothes! Only Germanic barbarians like to run bare-assed. β
Shang Luo was silent for a while: "Is there a way to stop this whole process?" β
"We also want to know about this question. But for so many years, we haven't even figured out where the corrosion is coming from. But we can understand the principle - the legend says that mankind existed in the Golden Age, the Silver Age and the Bronze Age, the Age of Heroes and the Age of Black Iron. β
