At half past five in the morning, the royal meal arrived.
This is the legendary royal meal - fried mutton with green onions, fried pork with yellow cabbage, steamed trotters, steamed gluten-stuffed meat, the soup is white soup made from fried fish and stewed, served with a big bowl of rice per person, and spicy rabbit Two side dishes, crystal mutton dumplings, and a cup of tea.
Shangluo sat blankly in front of a table of dishes. There are bright stars on his head, and a steaming hoof is placed in front of him. There are mountains and rivers of mercury under our feet, and oily flowers are floating on the fish soup. The surroundings are filled with the fragrance of orchids, and the pork and mutton are both filled with fragrant sea pepper.
"Come on." Zhu Xianfen took apart the disposable chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat, eat. I'll move first."
Shangluo bit the bullet and took apart the chopsticks. These dishes are not even served on a plate, but are standard dishes. From stir-fried vegetables to steamed trotters, everything is served in small portions per person. When it arrived, it was wrapped in thermal insulation foil and delivered in an exquisite food box with a seal attached.
Sitting in front of a table of dishes, the overwhelming aroma pressed towards him. Each dish was covered with a layer of oil, which was shiny and completely inconsistent with Shangluo’s definition of breakfast. But the presentation of those dishes is really good, especially the hoof pig. The pork knuckle was steamed until it was soft and peeled off the bone without losing its shape. The skin could be separated with a light scratch with chopsticks, but the pork knuckle meat under the skin did not fall apart.
Both plates of stir-fried dishes are quite skillful. When it was delivered, it had actually been there for a long time, but the sauce on the bottom of the plate was not layered and was still hanging on the meat and vegetables. When the hot steam comes up, you can even smell the "pot gas", which is just like the food that has just come out of the pot.
"Your Majesty, these are...the imperial dining room? They are from the royal dining room."
"No." Zhu Xianfen was patiently picking out the fish bones with chopsticks, "This is the takeout I ordered - the imperial kitchen is about to get off work. Where can I find the imperial chef to cook at four o'clock in the morning? I can only order takeout at this time. .”
"Oh...that's it." Shangluo was startled. He thought Yushan would eat "this" in the morning.
"But it's indeed Yushan. I ordered takeout from Fangshan Restaurant. To be honest, the food cooked by the retired chef is better than the food made by the working chef..."
After eating two more chopsticks, Zhu Xianfen finally reacted: "Ah, you think it's strange for Yushan to eat this in the morning, right? It seems a bit. I remember when I was in college, there was no such thing in the cafeteria in the morning. I had to go to the second floor and order food by myself. But I think you are very strange. We all get tens of taels of salary every month, why don't we eat more meat? Why do we eat so much rice? What do you think?"
Shangluo's eyes rolled around: I'm looking for him to do something now, so I'd better agree to it.
"Yes, people should eat more meat in life!"
"Brilliant!" Zhu Xianfen put down his chopsticks and applauded him. "My ancestor Taizu realized this in the Hongwu Year. So I am the first to disagree with anyone who wants to change the menu. How can you do anything if you don't eat some pork chops so early in the morning? How about your spirit? It's hot at noon, shouldn't you have some spicy kidneys and mustard lamb tripe? Those people outside are so serious. They say that the royal meals are all "burnt and thick", and the smell is so pungent that it has lost its original nature. taste', and in recent years people have said that these are unhealthy junk foods. Do you think this is unhealthy?"
Shangluo realized. The plate of fried mutton with green onions in front of me opened my appetite, and my mind suddenly broadened:
"Healthy! So healthy! There are both meat and vegetables here, and this vegetarian dish... Look, this green onion is vegetarian, so it's very healthy. When you eat, you have to eat happily, so why bother with your stomach."
"Well said! Have tea." He handed Shangluo the teapot, and Shangluo reached out and took a cup to relieve his tiredness.
Half of the water was poured, and Zhu Xianfen suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, I have something I need to help you with."
Shangluo's hands shook in fright, but he still held the cup - he knew that this meal was probably not free.
"Um...what's wrong with His Majesty the Emperor?"
"You are from Wutai Mountain Training Center, right? I have something I want you to bring to me. I am a student from your school. He will give you money, and you just need to collect it. He will hand over the money and deliver the goods. I won't let you If you run away in vain, I will give you 30% of the money, and you can bring back 70%."
Shangluo was startled. He thought it was something big. It turned out that it was a paid errand, so it wasn’t a big problem, and it happened to be along the way.
I got money for running errands along the way, and also had a hearty (over-the-top) breakfast. I have to say, this is not a loss.
"But, Your Majesty, may I ask what this is?"
"I sell some of the small by-products of alchemy through some channels, which is a small side business. But I am actually very afraid of being recognized, because my face is on silver coins and in newspapers. If someone recognizes me, Isn’t it going to become front-page news? So I thought that I could ask you to help.”
When it comes to side jobs, Shangluo understands. Emperor Tianqi's carpentry work also has to be shipped. Now this man's alchemy seems to be more professional and better, so of course he also has to ship.
"So you understand, right? Besides the issue of exposing my identity, I'm actually quite busy sometimes. Don't look at me refining elixirs here in the morning. In fact, I have to go to approve the Zhezi after 10 o'clock. After I approve the Zhezi, I still need to Hege Lao had dinner. I didn’t want Jin Yiwei to know what I was doing, so sometimes I took the subway to deliver the goods. It was a waste of time to go back and forth, and sometimes I had to get stuck and come back. Ah! Emperor Zu Jin Calling you here earlier really solves the urgent problem. What do you think, can you help me ship the goods? I'll give you three...oh no, how about giving you 40%? I'll give you another 10% increase."
"Ah this..."
Seems okay?
It seems that there is indeed no problem. He doesn't seem to be very busy, even if it's about racing, he doesn't need to stay there all day long - after all, he is not a racing driver, and he doesn't need to practice driving.
"Apolonia, what do you think?"
【Good thing. After you establish a good relationship with him, you can ask him for help with other formulas except for elixirs like the Foundation Establishment Pill. He is right, to cultivate immortality is to support each other. You help him save time, and he helps you save time, which is good. 】
After consulting Apollonia, he agreed to Zhu Xianjun.
"Very good, then we will contact you via Fetion. I will notify you three days in advance of any arrangements, and you can arrange the time by yourself. If you really don't have time, just tell me and I will take the time to make a trip myself. But you have to pay for the travel expenses yourself. Let’s deal with it. Your 40% share includes travel expenses. If you run errands for me two or three times a week, you should be able to earn a lot of pocket money. But there is one thing you have to pay attention to. 】
"What's up?"
"I seem to be quite famous in your school and other schools...so you'd better shorten some trading time and don't let them ask you questions. You can make up some excuses when necessary. You don’t need to ask me. Just act cheap on this matter. As long as I can deliver the goods, I don’t care about anything else. The carrot medicine you want will probably be ready in the next few days. Just give me the payment when you come. .”
