Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1008 Mapo Tofu
"Wait, what are you doing with your hands?" Chef Yang, the chef at the Sichuan stall, had just blanched the tofu and put the pot and the tofu aside. He changed to a new pot and was about to stir-fry the black bean paste when he suddenly saw the chef from the Cantonese stall next to him grabbing a handful of an unidentified yellow object and trying to put it in.

“I put ginger in it.”

"How can you put ginger in mapo tofu?! I just saw you chopping there, I thought you were chopping bean paste, but it turns out you were chopping ginger?! How can you put ginger in mapo tofu?"

“Shouldn’t mapo tofu have ginger in it?”

"Who told you? Where did you learn that?" As he spoke, he had already picked up the wok.

"In the Sichuan Guild Hall, what's wrong?!" He straightened his back, "Old Yang, I learned the real Mapo Tofu, right?"

"What kind of mapo tofu are you learning? You must be learning the Cantonese mapo tofu!"

"Hey hey hey hey!" Seeing that both sides picked up big spoons, the people beside them hurried to stop the fight.

However, before the two of them really started to fight, the people nearby rushed over, snatched the spatula away and threw it aside, knocking over the vinegar jar on the table.

"Don't fight!" The chef who had been out for less than three minutes came back again, "If you want to fight, go to the freezer! Don't come out if you lose!"

"We... We didn't fight." The two looked at each other, "But Master Chef, please give us your opinion! Should we put ginger in Mapo Tofu?"

"Why do I feel some movement down there?" Shang Luo blinked, "I feel like there's a surge of resentment, as if it's surrounding us. Do you feel it?"

"A little bit." Yanqiu nodded. But the other two showed no reaction.

"Forget it, it shouldn't be our business. Maybe someone is quarreling downstairs." Shangluo took a sip of water. "By the way, Victoria, if you ask me to do something, do you have a time limit?"

"Actually, the pace of our work depends on you," Victoria replied, "because you are the one who is bringing about great changes in the world situation now."

"Why do I?"

"Originally, I didn't have to come so hastily this time. But some time ago, an electromagnetic explosion swept across the entire atmosphere and swept across Europe. Along with it, there were auroras all over the sky that could be seen in the Mediterranean. Mr. Shangluo, do you have any clues?"

"Ah? That..." Needless to say, this was caused by the explosion in Shangluo. "Did it have any impact on Europe?"

"That electromagnetic explosion shattered the holy lies of several technological barbarians, even Gaul within the Great Wall. Now Gaul is undercurrent, and is about to become independent as the Gallic Empire. That is the territory of Rome. Rome is planning to withdraw to Italy and prepare to gather legions to conquer Gaul again."

"Is it such a big deal?"

"Yes, Shangluo." Victoria shook her head. "In one month, you destroyed two Roman Empires that were one-sixth of the size of the Roman Empire. You destroyed New Antioch and Rome. You blew up a Columbia and a Gaul."

[Huh? ? ?] Even Apollonia was surprised, [Is his destructive power so great? ]

"That's right. I didn't expect it at the beginning. Before he became the dictator, he had already destroyed two-sixths to one-third of the Roman Empire. Therefore, the Senate is really afraid that you will destroy another one-third in the next few months. By then, the Roman Empire will not die yet, but will be killed by your butterfly effect. This is definitely not the right way to die. So the Senate invited you over, essentially wanting you to inform them before taking action. They are willing to cooperate, and they only ask you to show mercy." "Ah, this." Shang Luo was speechless for a moment, "This, you won't ask me to pay money?"

"Pfft." Victoria laughed. "Why should I ask you to pay? We were the ones who invited you to come here in the first place. You can't be held responsible no matter how we settle the score. And you see, they are about to make you dictator, almost on an equal footing with me. They are just afraid of you, not looking for you to hold them accountable."

[To put it bluntly, I don’t dare to hold you accountable, for fear that you will repeat it again. So love is the Monkey King.]

"Compared to the Monkey King, he is more like Tathagata Buddha." Phaethon shook his head.

"Wow~~" Yanqiu's eyes sparkled, "So handsome."

"That's great~" Zhu Ling gave him another small applause.

"Well, everyone," Shangluo felt a little embarrassed, "I really, really didn't mean it."

"It's okay." Victoria waved her hand. "Let me ask you first, if you were given the choice again, would you launch that doomsday weapon?"

“It’s definitely going to be launched.”

"It's over." Victoria spread her hands. "It's meaningless to be sad about the inevitable. It has already happened, and what we need to do next is to prevent it from happening again. Facts have proved that Rome has failed, because a casual attack from Aurora can shock the whole world and make Rome unable to remain immune. In this case, it highlights the correctness of my previous decision. If we cooperate with Aurora now, it would be a bit like surrender. We know Aurora's habits."

"Habit? What habit?"

Zhu Ling said, "Our habits are different from Rome's. Rome never negotiates with the barbarians. Our temper is much better - we will provide the barbarians with a surrender plan. The plan proposed at the beginning is always the most generous plan and the best way to solve the problem. If you don't accept the conditions sent by the angels, you will just be trampled on by the heavenly soldiers when they come - this should be the habit she mentioned."

"Yes." Victoria nodded. "Although we are friends, we also know the habits of Aurora. We must negotiate with Aurora as early as possible. Thanks to Shangluo, my reputation has soared this time, because I established an inseparable connection with Aurora before any of them, and also got in touch with Shangluo."

"Wow~~" Yanqiu's eyes lit up twice as brightly, "Is this nepotism?! So exciting!"

"Hey hey." Zhu Ling couldn't help it this time, "I say, Miss Yanqiu, although you are very cute, can you restrain yourself and stop drooling? He is a member of the imperial court."

"Sorry, sorry, I'm a little excited. It's just that the thought of knowing the inside story of an idol suddenly makes me excited."

"Ah," Shangluo said with difficulty, "I suddenly found out that I could have such a big impact. It really makes me excited."

【???】Apollonia asked in surprise, 【Why is there something wrong with you?】

"No, it's just that. In many works, the comparison of combat effectiveness is all about the comparison of pits. The pit I made was really big. I smashed two one-sixths of Rome with one punch. I feel a little excited just thinking about it."
