"Ah...it doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't go to court, right?"
"You should ask which emperor goes to court - because there is no one who goes to court. The emperor rules the world with silence, and the affairs of the court are naturally handled by the elders and councilors. I don't know when this has become a routine. This is not a big problem at first, but it is very troublesome for our Nanzhen Jinyiwei. We are responsible for the emperor's mission, and the reason why the funds are tight now is because there is no emperor's mission, so naturally there is no funds. "
"Let me let go of half of my heart."
He wasn't ready to let go of his other half yet. After all, he hadn't met the emperor himself, and he didn't know what the emperor was thinking.
"Don't think so much, let's have dinner. Collect the documents on the table and call Lu Liang to come in for dinner."
When Shangluo sat back, Lu Huaiyang had already placed four dishes and one soup on the table.
Braised beef, braised pork ribs, braised eggplant, braised lion head. The four dishes all have the same flavor and color, and they look like they came out of the same pot.
There is also a bowl of stewed radish soup. However, the radish soup was not placed in a separate soup bowl, but a bowl was given to Shangluo and Lu Liang.
"Lu Qianhu, don't you want to eat?"
"Carrots are used to maintain the innate Tao body since childhood. The older you get, the harder it becomes to maintain it. It is no longer useful to eat radishes at my age, so you should eat it. Come, try the food I cook. You can pick it up yourself, and I will I won’t pick up food for you.”
"Is this a dish you cooked yourself, Lu Qianhu?"
It's unbelievable. After all, this person is also a fifth-grade official. How come he has time to cook at home? He didn't look so idle either.
"You don't know, right? My dad can fry shredded potatoes for 800 people in half an hour. He is a professional."
"Professional...so professional." Shangluo took a bite of braised pork.
It really tastes like professional braised pork ribs. It melts in your mouth and has a soft and tender texture. It's not overly sweet and has a little bit of saltiness that brings out the flavor of the whole dish. Although there is nothing amazing about it, it is as standard as a textbook.
Same goes for several other dishes. Although they all look the same, each dish has its own flavor and texture.
"Lu Qianhu, where did you learn this?"
"Forget it, I don't even want to mention what happened when I was young. We, a group of Qigong practitioners, were doing odd jobs all day long. I don't even know what I was doing day by day. It was probably 'before enlightenment, carrying water' Chop firewood; after enlightenment, fetch water and chop firewood - by the way, this braised dish is just for casual practice. You try the radish, the radish is the most important."
Carrot appeared in front of Shangluo again.
This is what he has eaten every day for the past few years. As the origin of Xiangen radish, Yangzhou has nothing but endless radish. Now that I think about it, although the conditions there are not very good, you can always see some powerful people. I think they went to Yangzhou to eat radishes.
The radish is still cooked the same way when it comes to Yujing. High-end ingredients only use the simplest cooking method - peel and cut into pieces and stew directly, without even sprinkling salt when taking them out of the pot. Because the radish smell of this fairy root radish is much stronger than that of ordinary radish, so some rock sugar has to be added to remove the smell.
"Is the medicinal power of this radish in the soup or in the radish?"
"In the soup, the radish is already medicine residue. But the fairy root cannot be wasted, so I bring it out for you to eat."
"Thank you." Shangluo thanked him. Although he ate it every day, the radish in front of him was purchased by Lu Qianhu at his own expense, so it had a completely different meaning.
He lowered his head and took a sip of carrot soup. It doesn't taste good at all, the radish flavor can't be suppressed even with rock sugar, and it's even a little bitter.
Glancing at the opposite side, Lu Liang also ate the carrot soup first. She didn't frown at all, she was completely used to the smell.
The radish soup was already in his stomach, so he ate the radish together. A warm current spread from my stomach. I don't know if it was the temperature of the radish soup or something else. This warm current condensed into the dantian of the abdomen, and then slowly dissipated.
It's exactly the same as before, no difference. He also drank a bowl of soup for every meal in San Francisco as an appetizer, and then started eating with chopsticks.
Braised lion heads are two per person. After tasting the braised pork ribs, he knew that the braised lion head would not be unpalatable.
"Oh~~ As expected, you can still taste lean meat. It's just right for fat and lean meat. Lu Qianhu, your craftsmanship is really good."
When he raised his head, he found Lu Liang opposite him looking at him.
"You...don't you use luck to digest it?"
"Digest? Digest what?"
"You just ate fairy root radish, which is fairy root. Normal people will get bloated after eating a bowl at a time. Even that unlucky guy has to digest it for ten minutes before he can eat. Why did you start eating as soon as you finished eating? ?Are you that hungry?"
"Huh? So this makes me look hungry?"
Lu Huaiyang nodded: "Theoretically, yes. It looks like you have two stomachs. After stuffing the fairy root radish, you can stuff a lot more. Sure enough, the three old fitters were right. They were I felt like you were reincarnated by a starving ghost. I was afraid that you would be hungry again, so I gave you a lot of fairy root radishes. There were probably two radishes in total, but I took them all as ordered and ate them just like ordinary radishes. Go down."
"Ah! Is that why, Lu Qianhu, you asked me to come for dinner?"
"I really want to see where all the radishes you ate went. Do you mind if I take your pulse?"
"Yeah, yeah, trouble." Finally finding someone who could explain the situation, Shangluo quickly stretched out his hand for Lu Huaiyang to hold it.
Lu Huaiyang closed his eyes.
"Well... As expected, there really isn't anything at all."
"What would happen if it were someone else?"
"If it were Lu Liang, her true energy would be flowing wildly at this time. Because Lu Liang has no spiritual roots, the true energy cannot flow along her meridians. She has to use external skills to practice after meals to achieve body tempering The effect. You seem to be in more trouble than she is. If there is no true energy at all, you will not be able to practice any internal or external skills, and you will never reach the Qi training stage in your life, let alone be promoted to a heavenly being in the foundation building stage."
"Alas." Lu Liang on the opposite side sighed, "Another one...is your father also a Qi practitioner?"
"probably."
"He is." Lu Huaiyang added, "Not only is he a qi practitioner, but he is also very powerful. It's just that he's not practicing thunder."
"Sure enough, we, the children of Qi practitioners, have all been punished by God. One after another, we are unlucky. But this is the first time I have seen you so unlucky. Just like in an exam, Meng can also get a few questions right. In exams like yours A score of zero is as outrageous as a perfect score. However, it seems that you have not tried any remedies. Dad, how about I teach him a lesson? "
"Okay." Lu Huaiyang took a sip of water, "But don't teach me the skills for the time being. Wait until you meet Taizu tomorrow. You can teach him a set of Taizu Changquan."
