Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1011 Mapo Tofu
Shangluo glanced at Zhu Ling, she was already stuck, so he nodded and replied: "Yes, we just came down to ask if you have time to make a pig face."

"Then bring it up quickly. It has just been unpacked in the kitchen and is still hot. It tastes good even when it is cold, but the flavor right out of the pot can only be tasted for a short while. If you heat it up again, it will taste bad. I remember that when you were a child, you loved to eat it with lotus leaf pancakes, and you would always eat it on your hands. Come on, go back and wait, and have someone bring it over right away."

"Wuwu~ Wuwuwu~~" Zhu Ling ate the lotus leaf pancake with braised pig face in between, tears streaming down her face with each bite.

"Wow, this looks really delicious." Victoria took a bite, looked at Zhu Ling, and asked Shangluo:

"I know this is delicious. But do I have to cry to express that it's delicious?"

"She felt it was spicy." Shangluo replied.

"Yes. Wuwu~~" Zhu Ling sobbed, "My lotus leaf pancake has onions in it. Do you want some?"

"Thank you, but forget it. I want to eat some vegetables."

[Hello.] Apollonia asked, [Is she okay? She looks very sad.]

"She's not sad. She should be relieved to know that her father still cares about her. He's not dead. He just thought he was on a business trip. She's not that fragile. She was just a little sentimental when she ate the dishes she often ate when she was a child. Let her be alone for a while. You see, she doesn't want others to see why she's crying. Let's cover for her."

[You obviously don't like to respond to other people's attention to you, but you are very considerate of other people's feelings. If it were central air conditioning, you would really be full of energy, and your kindness would be evenly distributed in any number of portions. ]

"Who says I'm a good person?" As he said this, he handed Victoria a plate of shredded green onions and cucumber strips for the lotus leaf pancakes.

"Thank you." Victoria took a piece of braised pig face from each of them with chopsticks and wrapped it herself. "This dish is really amazing. The whole pig's head is taken apart cleanly and clearly. Each piece is full of rich collagen, which melts in a sip. It's not just the cooking that requires a lot of thought. It has to be taken apart while it's hot, right? This is really a labor-intensive dish. No wonder even the emperor of Zhendan can't eat it every day."

"That's right. Even though the chef's hands are made of iron, they can't stand being so hot every day."

"But I have a chef with iron hands."

[That's true. Her chefs are all skilled, you've seen them.]

After eating the piece in her hand, Victoria signaled to others to bring water for washing hands. She just wanted to taste it and eat it again when she wanted to go back. But for "Fujian Mapo Tofu", she still wanted to eat the authentic one in the authentic place - because she was not sure whether what she ate was right.

"Ah." After washing her hands, she drank the grape juice she had been drinking. "On the eve of the world war, it is really satisfying to be able to have a meal with you all happily. If I can eat authentic Fujian Mapo Tofu again this time, I will have no complaints even if I disintegrate now."

[I don't even know where to start complaining about this.]

"Are you talking about a world war?" Victoria asked. "That's obvious. Unless Shangluo shows off his ability to dance on six eggs. Oh no, four eggs. He's already crushed two, and he might crush a few more next."

[I think the main responsibility lies with you, the Senate. If you had cooperated more with the Oracle or the Palace of Muse, you wouldn't have made such a huge strategic mistake that destroyed two regions at once.]

"This has been going on for a long time. In fact, if they had cooperated well from the beginning, the Roman Empire would not have reached this point today. At this point, we no longer put our hopes on the last Romans to unite - I believe Shangluo can control everything. Other Romans may not care about me, but they really care about Zhendan." [But Shangluo is not free now. Now that the emperor is away, he has his own family to take care of. How can he have time to put out the neighbor's fire? ]

"I don't think so. Our neighbor was about to move away, and before he moved, he gave his house and land to Zhendan. From this perspective, the fire burned the property of the future Zhendan."

【You will save trouble.】

"Then I can't do anything else. Establishing a connection between Zhendan and Shangluo, or to put it another way, establishing a connection between Shangluo and Zhendan, is the most correct decision I have made since I ascended the throne at the age of twelve. I wanted to do more, but unfortunately my body does not allow me to ask too many questions about the outside world."

"I understand." Shang Luo nodded. "Just rest and take care of yourself. Leave the rest to me. When your condition gets better, it won't be too late to talk to you then."

"I promise you, Shangluo," Victoria replied, "If my condition can at least be alleviated in Zhendan this time and it doesn't make me unable to go out alone, then I will definitely cheer up. I, and the entire Roman Empire, are too lazy. Things are not yet irreversible. I don't want to say 'maybe we could have done something, but now it's too late'. Now is the time to save the situation. Two Romes have collapsed, and there are at least four left. They must die in the right way."

"Very good, very energetic!" Shangluo raised the glass of grape juice and clinked it with Victoria.

"Excuse me." Someone knocked on the door. "You ordered. You ordered."

The waiter outside looked at the name of the dish again and again, and then read out in a serious tone: "The 'Nasi Lemak' you ordered is here."

This name stunned everyone present.

[What is this? Let me check it out. It turns out to be like this? Victoria, are you sure this is Mapo Tofu? Have you really seen what Mapo Tofu looks like? It's Fujian Mapo Tofu. Do you want me to send you a picture? ]

"No, you'll know when you bring it in."

Nasi Lemak, pronounced "spicy ni ni ma de", was placed in front of Victoria in a wooden lunch box with a silver plate unique to Nanyang cuisine inside.

The plate was filled with hot nasi lemak, sambal sauce, dried fish, peanuts, tofu on top, and fried chicken next to the tofu.

"Yes, yes, that's it! This is Fujian Mapo Tofu!"

"." Shangluo thought for a moment and asked, "Did you meet a Nanyang chef who made this for you? I searched and found that this dish seems to have originated from the Nanyang natives."

"I have eaten it before. I was..." Suddenly, she was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I ate it somewhere. How could I forget where I ate it?"

A sense of crisis suddenly struck her, and she realized that something was wrong again: "I did eat it! But...but where? I remember it was in the sun, with white plastic tables and chairs. How come I don't have any memory of it at all? Did I eat it while sleepwalking? But how could I sleepwalk to such a far place!"
