Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1064 Breakfast
“You know what, this tastes really good.”

The black sauce soup has a strong sauce flavor and looks black, but it is not greasy to drink. The taste of the soup is mainly garlic, mixed with a refreshing medicinal flavor. Eating it in the morning can make the whole person energetic.

Big bones, small bones, ribs, streaky bones and cartilage, each one is different. Especially the cartilage, which melts in your mouth when stewed, and when you bite it and mix it with the meat, it has a distinct taste. The big bones are full of meat, and the streaky bones have the aroma of fat. Each one has its own flavor.

"By the way, how much does this one cost?"

"288."

"Wow! I can eat steamed bread for a month for less than 288!"

"Oh, this is Lan Fang Guild Hall. The one across from the Grand Palace in the capital is a branch of the main restaurant in Pontianak. The dishes here are indeed more expensive. Guild Hall is a place for people to hold meetings. People who hold meetings here usually don't care much about how much the dish costs."

"It can usually be reimbursed anyway, right? Then I'll drink one more mouthful of soup. The remaining mouthful will save me 20 yuan."

He also ate the rest of the shrimp dumplings, steamed buns, etc.

This was the largest breakfast he had eaten recently, and it was also the most satisfying. Normally, he would not eat so much.

I have to say, there are indeed quite a few dishes here.
【expensive?】

"I can tell that the food here is very expensive, because each siu mai is topped with a little crab roe. You can't really tell when you eat it, but the price is definitely driven up by the crab roe."

"That's correct." Yanqiu replied, "This plate of siu mai is 88."

"22 in one mouthful!"

"There is crab roe." Yanqiu replied, "Just think about it, it is not easy to eat the crab roe of the hairy crabs from Jiangnan in Southeast Asia."

"But I just came from the place where hairy crabs are produced! In our place, hairy crabs are kept in vending machines!"

"Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. The hairy crabs here are flown in, so you have to spend some money on the airfare."

"Good fellow," he looked at the remaining piece of steamed dumpling, "I won't ask what this steamed dumpling is."

"This is steamed Spanish mackerel dumplings! Authentic Qingdao Spanish mackerel!"

"No. Can't Spanish mackerel be caught everywhere? Is there any difference between the Spanish mackerel caught in Qingdao and those caught elsewhere?"

"Well, I don't know. I'm from Fujian, so I can't tell the difference. And I've definitely never eaten dumplings stuffed with Spanish mackerel."

"Would you like to try one?" Shangluo handed over the plate.

"No, no, no, I'm a waiter, how can I eat?"

"Hey, why bother with so much? Just sit down and eat."

"No, I really can't." Yan Qiu shook her head vigorously, "I have professional ethics. The actor who plays Guan Gong can't speak carelessly, and I have to maintain proper manners when playing a waiter. If I say I don't want to eat, then I won't eat."

"Okay. Then, waiter? Can you tell me my schedule for today?"

"No, I'm a waiter, not your butler, so I don't know that part. I only know what dishes you're having today."

"Ah, then tell me what I'm going to eat today?" "You have to eat at the cafeteria in Fenfeng Mountain at 12 noon today."

"Fengfeng Mountain? What is that?"

"The local dialect calls it Mount Chendan Baru, the highest peak in Borneo. The lunar cannon is placed on top of it. It is called Mount Foehn because the most typical climate in Borneo is the foehn wind. You rarely see it elsewhere, but the foehn wind that causes extreme high temperatures is often seen. This place can sometimes be as hot as Mount Flame, so you can see that there is a wall outside Pontianak, which is mainly used to prevent forest fires that may spread from the rainforest."

"Why don't you go somewhere else?"

"Because the Pontianak River is here." Yanqiu replied, "Pontianak is a port city, but it also needs to be close to the river to grow crops. However, the foehn wind raises the temperature, making it very suitable for growing some economic crops, such as fruits. The jackfruits here ripen faster than elsewhere."

"It looks like if the debugging fails today, we'll have to stay there tonight, right?"

"There's air conditioning anyway." Yanqiu replied, "The mountain there has been developed for many years, and the living facilities are already quite complete."

"By the way, how long has the mountain been developed?"

"I really can't remember that. I remember that the mountain was developed before I became his disciple. Although I heard a little bit about it from my master, I don't know the details. However, it seems that the foundation of this wonder was laid by the previous generation of Guoxing, and it was finally completed by the hands of the current generation of Guoxing."

"The surname of the country in the past? Ah. How much do you know about the surname of the country in the past?"

"He is the father of the contemporary national surname."

"I know that, for sure. What else?"

"I don't know. After all, this is their family affair, and it's hard for me to say anything."

"Hmm," Shangluo thought for a moment, "In fact, what you don't know is actually some information."

"Eh? Why?"

"This is a big deal." Shangluo replied, "You are the disciple of Master Sa Tianshi. Since even someone as close to the inside story as you are unaware of this news, it means that Guoxing's family is not in a hurry. I wonder if Guoxing himself knows something. After all, when I told him, he seemed quite calm."

[He did seem to have gotten the most crucial information from you at the time. But to be honest, I don't think he was completely clueless about it.]

"Oh, right." Shangluo asked, "Yanqiu, do you know what the Dragon Transformation Technique is? This seems to be beyond the scope of a waiter, right?"

"I'm a Qigong waiter, so I can say that the Dragon Transformation Art is a spell passed down by the True Man Chi Jing. Generally speaking, it is a type of thunder magic. But compared to ordinary thunder magic, it requires more body training. This technique is too difficult. You have to practice everything, including elixirs, talismans, etc."

"Is it so complicated? I see that among the Jinyiwei, which is full of talented people, no one seems to have practiced this? Except for his uncle Guoxing?"

"Because, the situation is like this." Yan Qiu replied, "The Art of Dragon Transformation is a technique of the immortals on the islands, not a spell passed down by the immortals on land. So it's normal that no one has learned it."

"Wait, the island immortal? That Xu Fu?"

"Theoretically, Xu Fu went out to sea to find the immortals on the islands." Yan Qiu nodded, "But why did Xu Fu find Japan? I don't know. As a waiter, I shouldn't express my opinion."

"Well, so it makes sense that Xu Fu should come to you to look for him, right? What are the special qualities of the island immortal?"

"It seems like they can live very long." Yan Qiu replied, "The island immortals seem to live very long, but the Guoxing people don't seem to live very long. Tsk, I don't know where the longevity of these island immortals comes from. But it is precisely because they can't get it that they are willing to invest. It's hard to understand, but my master said that they are not destined to get it yet and can't force it. Look, didn't the contemporary Guoxing get the real elixir from you? It's his destiny."
