"There is actually a kitchen on this train?" Shangluo was shocked by the train meals delivered to him. This is not a box lunch, but food is served directly from the kitchen, and you can even order from the menu. It's only a two-hour drive, but it serves such sumptuous meals.
Four dishes and one soup, this is already the standard for an imperial meal. I remember that when Emperor Taizu held a banquet for the ministers, they served four dishes and one soup. Although there are many theories about what the four dishes were, and some said they were hamburgers, the soup was definitely the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.
Now there were three cups of pearl emerald white jade soup in front of them, one cup for each person. This is a standard state banquet dish. Unless there are any surprises, I have to eat it at least once every state banquet. However, depending on the situation, the pearls, jade and white jade inside will be adjusted.
Lu Huaiyang took a bite: "This white jade stew is very good. It's the Jinling Hotel's method. He should have been to the state banquet... By the way, Shangluo, your 500,000..."
Shangluo was also drinking soup. When he heard about 500,000, he choked on the soup in his throat. Lu Huaiyang reached out and slapped him on the shoulder to help him stop coughing.
"Sorry! Lu Qianhu, I will definitely return it to the court! Don't tell Old Shang, I will return it myself."
"Listen to me - you don't have to pay it back. You drink yours."
"Is the imperial court so generous???" This made Shangluo a little scared. The imperial court is indeed very generous, but when it comes to specific accounts, the imperial court will definitely care about it. No one should even think about the money owed to the imperial court. Even if you don’t have to pay back the money, you still have to pay back the favor.
"That Mayan prince helped you pay back the money when he was arrested. 2.7 million, a penny is a lot." Lu Huaiyang answered while sipping the soup.
Although he was supposed to eat and sleep without talking, he was indeed a little hungry now. He had eaten nothing when he boarded the plane, and there was no in-flight meal on the plane. This was his first proper meal of the day.
"Isn't it only 500,000?"
"We know it's 500,000, but he doesn't know. In addition, this is compensation to the public, not a donation directed to you, so we confiscated the extra part."
"Tsk." Shangluo shook his head. He actually sympathized with the Mayans, who were still tricked by fate in the end. Phaethon did nothing for them, but he himself was turned into a stone statue. And those Mayans...
"Eh?" Shangluo suddenly remembered, "Where did they get so much money? I remember they were extremely poor."
"I was also surprised that they spent more than that. They also asked me to donate 5.4 million taels to charity. I was still wondering if this was stolen money. He was here to defy frost. After checking the accounts, I found out, He sold the building—good guy, how did this guy get the news? He sold the building the day before we plowed the yard and cleared the hole, and after paying you back the money, there was still a lot left. I don’t know. Did you get some advice from an expert... Shangluo, could it be you?"
Lu Huaiyang held back these words for a long time. It's just that he was a little busy today and he didn't have time to ask. Now he brought Shangluo in front of him. He just wanted to ask if this matter had anything to do with him. After all, this matter is quite strange. Jin Yiwei has some good luck, but it is difficult for people to pay attention to making such a big noise by relying on fortune telling.
Shangluo nodded:
"It was indeed me who helped him figure it out."
Shangluo didn't intend to hide it. This obviously couldn't be hidden. Wenyuan and Maya had a lot of exchanges, and he had already discovered it.
"Then why don't you count yourself?"
"Forget it. When I went out, I did some fortune-telling and figured out that I would not owe the court any money. But when I was arrested, I always drew lots; I have always been very lucky. Even if I was kidnapped, you would always come to save me. I could often eat two packets of ingredients when I ate instant noodles. However, I also had very bad luck during those two days. I was caught making alchemy, had my teeth stuck while eating, and almost had an accident on a plane."
"Then the plane almost had an accident?" Lu Huaiyang was shocked. He was sitting in the back and had no idea.
"It's okay, it's okay. I've ruled it out. It's not a big problem."
"You really...really have a mysterious reputation." He stared at Shangluo meaningfully for a while:
"Daozu wants to meet you on a good and auspicious day, that is, the day after tomorrow. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, why not come to my house for a meal? We live very close. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me. Our two families are family friends, and your father is not here I'll look after you more when you're here."
"I do have something to ask Lu Qianhu for a favor. I haven't contacted you yet about my return to school."
"It's easy to say. That has been arranged for you a long time ago. Just fill in some materials. I will help you go to school tomorrow morning and get the materials back for you. You can just fill in the materials after lunch."
"Ah...that's not necessary. I can just go get it myself."
"It's okay. I happened to pick up my daughter on the way. Your two schools are next to each other. Besides..."
His eyes slowly turned to the other side:
"Wen Yuan, you will come tomorrow too, you must come."
"No, no, no, no." Wen Yuan shook his head violently, "I haven't finished writing the report yet, so I don't dare to go to your house."
"She hasn't eaten the carrot yet, so she can't kick you."
"I don't dare to go even if she can't kick me. It's okay to let her kick her twice when she can kick. Anyway, I have strong skin. But now..."
"Okay." Lu Huaiyang didn't want to discuss this issue in depth, "Then you'll come back after dinner? You must come tomorrow anyway."
"Very good, I must see you. Also... Shangluo, I heard that you don't seem to have any energy?"
"I seem to have it, but I don't seem to have it. I seem to be able to feel Qi, but many people say that there is no Qi flowing in my body."
"There are professional instruments in Ji Nei that can measure it. We will know where the problem is when the time comes. You seem to be a good candidate for cultivating immortality. There may be a way. But if you cannot cultivate immortality in the end, you have to be mentally prepared. After all, you My father is a very powerful Qi Practitioner Zhong Goujiang. You may have heard that Qi Practitioners cannot pass on their talents when they are passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, those who are descendants of Qi Practitioners will most likely encounter them on the road. Some inexplicable obstacles.”
Shangluo also heard Captain Lin talk about this on the Ninghe. This is really the way of heaven that does more harm than good and makes up for what is lacking. Once there are no more new Qi practitioners awakening one day, the remaining Qi practitioners will lose their talent for Qi training within two generations and all return to ordinary people.
"In short, if there is no arrangement by Dao Ancestor, then no matter what your zhenqi level is, we welcome you to join the Nanzhen Jinyiwei. If your zhenqi level is okay, you will get comprehensive help from heaven and man. As for that stone statue. ..General Bai Feng may have told you that the stone statue is really a good cauldron, and there are signs of harmony. We are trying to find a way to help you open the cauldron and get the medicine. Maybe it's because your chance lies in that pill. ...Why does your expression look unnatural? Isn’t that an ordinary stone statue?”
"How about you wait until I arrive before driving?"
"No problem, you have the final say on your elixir. Then I'll open it when you arrive."
