Chapter 80 The most delicious soup in my school days
"I wonder if Mr. Gu can give it up?"
"Mr. Zhongli, are you interested in my weapon?"
…
Should I say "not unexpected" at this time?
Gu Sanqiu had a blank expression on his face. He knew that this would be Zhongli's reaction if he was having fun.
I feel like if I continue like this, I'll always feel like I'm playing some weird strategy game adapted from a light novel, and the only goal of taking out these new and unique items is to increase the favorability of the Emperor.
"cough."
After a brief silence, Gu Sanqiu coughed lightly.
"Well, Mr. Zhong, it's not impossible for me to give you this thing, but we need to make some rules."
"Oh? What do you mean by three rules?"
"It is a set of rules and regulations that an ancient prince used to restrain his people before he became emperor. You can also understand it as a showmanship to win the hearts of the people."
"First, this thing cannot be handed over to the official for research for the time being. If there is a problem during disassembly, it is estimated that everyone in the workshop will not be spared."
“Second, this item cannot be handed over to people from other countries.”
"Third, don't let that girl Hu Tao take you around to play with."
Zhongli rested his chin on his right hand: "Yes, it makes sense. I agree."
"Sure, five hundred thousand Mora. Of course, you can also use items of equal value to pay off the debt. Our trip to Hulao Mountain this time is just like testing your product. When we return, we will pay you and deliver the goods."
"It's decided then."
After a while , Zhongli and the driver sat by the campfire, quietly watching Gu Sanqiu seriously cooking a pot of fragrant noodles.
"Master Gu, I wonder what this food is and why it smells so good."
"instant noodles."
Gu Sanqiu cut a stack of Wanmintang's special ham slices and threw them in: "It's just a high-end version."
"Well, there are also the special bamboo shoots and matsutake mushrooms from Qingce Manor, and the peppercorns that have been baptized by clouds and spiritual energy in the depths of the Min Forest..."
"Cabbage and potatoes directly supplied to Liuliting by farmers..."
"Oh, by the way, I also brought some Jueyun peppers and chopped and pickled Hanshan garlic grown near the snowy mountains. If you think the instant noodles are tasteless later, you can add them yourself."
The driver suddenly felt happy. If he went out to eat with his family at other times, the ingredients for this dish alone would be enough to scare him and make his wallet empty, but today he could actually have a work meal of this standard.
Hehe, I almost understand this aspect. I will go back and learn how to make it for my wife and kids!
Item: Kushan brand instant noodles
Source: Kushanjie
Note: This instant noodle is made by the training disciples who can't stand plain tea and rice. It is delicious and nutritious. However, I heard that because the training battle was turned into a farming adventure, most of the disciples who entered the Kushan Realm that year were beaten badly.
"Instant noodles... another new and novel way to eat them?"
"Not really. After all, it can only be considered a type of pasta."
Gu Sanqiu divided the noodles between the two of them, then he lifted the pot with a red-hot bottom and raised his chopsticks, which surprised the driver .
“Slurp, slurp—”
His eyes narrowed into a line, his mouth also became a line, and Gu Sanqiu's entire expression turned into a line and began to inhale violently, revealing a nostalgic expression from time to time.
(′▽`〃)
It's been a long time since I've tasted this.
"delicious!"
The driver imitated Gu Sanqiu's way of slurping and soon his lips were grimacing from the burn.
Only Zhongli picked up the big bowl quite elegantly, picked up a bunch of noodles with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and chewed slowly, then swallowed it and drank a sip of soup.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhong, you shouldn't feel so restrained when eating outdoors. There are no outsiders here anyway."
There was some helplessness in Gu Sanqiu's laughter. He could eat instant noodles in the wild with the same sense of etiquette as in a high-end restaurant. Uncle Zhong was really unique.
"Well, there is such a saying?"
"Yes, this kind of food is actually a kind of portable food. The previous version could not take into account both taste and nutrition, but it is still sought after by some people."
"There are also young people who think the food in the cafeteria is so bad that they secretly cook instant noodles and drink up the soup, jokingly saying that this is the best soup they had during their school days."
"Oh, that's right."
Gu Sanqiu remembered what he had forgotten: "Here, this is ham sausage, a good partner for instant noodles. You can try eating half with an empty mouth first and then soaking the other half."
Item: Black Tornado Ham Sausage
Source: Xuanfeng Cave in the Southern Region of the Demon Realm
Note: A pig demon who made his fortune by making sausages out of his own meat? Well, it’s the first time I’ve seen it, but it tastes pretty good.
Besides, isn’t Xuanfeng Cave the Black Wind Cave? Maybe it’s a whirlwind of sweat and fart smell. Who taught him this weird habit of being pretentious? But please rest assured, the food quality is absolutely up to standard.
…
What if he wants to kill the guy who wrote the note again?
And how could this guy eat that sausage while thinking about those things.
Also, why did he have to be so shameless as to check the notes? Couldn't he just eat it directly?
"Yes, the flavor is unique and the taste is excellent. Even though it is a secondary production of meat, you can still feel the chewiness of the pork and the wild atmosphere of the mountains."
…
Gu Sanqiu was speechless. Why did tasting the food in Zhongli's mouth feel like he was looking through someone's ID card?
No, whether the monster creatures have ID cards is also a question.
Slurp, slurp——
Gu Sanqiu was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and saw Zhongli, with that eternal expressionless face, slurping noodles.
Wow, I heard that we are going to Hulao Mountain this time, and we might face Brother Tuozi, so I even forgot to bring my camera.
Big loss!
"Well, this way of eating, coupled with the unique sounds, does give people a strange sense of pleasure that can make people relax subconsciously."
Zhongli ignored Gu Sanqiu who was trying to hold back his laughter and the stunned driver, and picked up a piece of ham and chewed it slowly.
“Ahem.”
Gu Sanqiu concealed his expression. After all, he didn't want to be stared at by Zhongli with a look that said "You don't want this job anymore, right?" He always felt like he was courting death, and was on the brink of death, jumping back and forth crazily.
After the meal, Gu Sanqiu threw the pot in his hand aside, took out a teapot and started making tea.
"Come and try it. It's pure Qingxin tea. The fragrance of Gaoling is elegant. It's definitely the best choice for digestion."
The three of them picked up the teacups and took a sip. The originally strong taste in their mouths slowly melted away under the flavor of the Qingxin Tea, turning into a light and elegant fragrance, but it seemed difficult to detect if one tried to sense it carefully.
"Mr. Gu, I heard from Hall Master Hu that you seem to have a very handsome eagle. Why didn't you bring it with you this time?"
"Well, I let that guy roam free. I was in a hurry to go out this time, so I didn't summon him."
This is of course a lie. The strength of the Giant Shadow Eagle is in scouting. This time he was going to the high-level dungeon under the leadership of one of the seven big bosses in the entire server.
By then, no matter whether the Giant Shadow Eagle was intimidated or something unexpected happened, it would affect their performance from the guild's perspective, and he would feel sorry for his pet personally. In this case, it would be better not to bring it along.
