Chapter 168

The three minutes of waiting were exceptionally long for Ying Zheng and others.

Under the paper lid, a complex and domineering fragrance that was hard to describe began to drift out.

It was a rich smell mixed with wheat fragrance, oil fragrance, beef fragrance, and spice fragrance; it was a smell they had never smelled before, hitting the soul directly!

Gulp... I don't know who swallowed saliva quietly.

Three minutes were up, Gu Shanhe uncovered the paper lid.

"Boom——"

The richer, steaming fragrance permeated like an explosion, instantly filling the entire living room!

It was a taste with a slight saltiness, slight spiciness, and incomparably mellow freshness, making people salivate and their stomachs growl.

Gu Shanhe stirred slightly with a fork; inside the bucket, the golden and oily noodles were soaked in the red and rich soup, dotted with dehydrated vegetables and small beef grains (although very few), but the appearance was excellent.

"Can be used."

Gu Shanhe made a gesture of invitation, picked up a bucket first, and ate a bite symbolically.

Well, it's still the familiar taste, supermarket goods, but in this Qin Dynasty, it is definitely a dimensionality reduction strike.

Ying Zheng couldn't hold back anymore, picked up the bucket in front of him, picked up the "Meal-Eating Jade Dagger" somewhat clumsily, and picked up a few noodles.

The noodles were Q-bouncy and smooth, hanging with rich soup.

He blew on it and sent it into his mouth.

The next moment, this First Emperor who swept across the six states widened his eyes!

Smooth! Chewy! The rich wheat fragrance mixed with a complex and harmonious salty, fresh, fragrant, and slightly spicy taste... exploded in his mouth instantly!

The soup was mellow, the taste layers were rich, the beef fragrance was not prominent, but the overall combination was perfect.

Especially the texture of the noodles, completely different from the soup cakes and bait food he ate on weekdays, more bouncy, more chewy, and more soup-hanging!

"Wonderful! Extremely wonderful!!"

Ying Zheng didn't have time to savor it carefully, ate a few more bites in succession, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't care about the imperial demeanor, eating with slurps.

This taste was more delicious than any palace imperial meal he had ever eaten, and more... addictive!

With the emperor taking the lead, Li Si, Wang Jian, Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Fu Su, and others didn't stand on ceremony anymore, picked up the bucket in front of them, and started eating.

"Slurp——Ha!"

"This noodle... this noodle is so delicious!"

"Immortal food, truly extraordinary!"

"This soup, incomparably delicious, I wish I could swallow the bucket too!"

For a time, in the spacious living room, there were only successive, slightly rude yet incomparably satisfied slurping sounds and vague praises.

These imperial heavy ministers who usually paid attention to "don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping" and etiquette, were now sweating, their cheeks flushed, their eyes shining, completely immersed in the taste storm brought by "Braised Beef Noodles."

Li Si ate the fastest, almost sweeping away the noodles and soup, and finally licked his lips with lingering fear, looking at the empty bucket with reluctance.

Meng Tian was a martial general, had a big appetite, finished eating in two or three bites, looked at the empty bucket, and then looked at others still eating, his Adam's apple rolled.

Even Wang Jian, who was old and usually had a light diet, ate the noodles cleanly, not even letting go of the tiny beef grains and green onions.

Fu Su ate more elegantly, but the speed was not slow, his face full of satisfied redness.

Gu Shanhe only ate half of the bucket in his hand, looked up, good guy, more than a dozen people, all had empty noodle buckets in front of them, even the soup was drunk without a drop left.

Everyone was looking at him... the half bucket of noodles in his hand, and the remaining few buckets on the coffee table (Gu Shanhe took a few more buckets for backup).

That look, fiery, eager, and with a bit of embarrassment.

Gu Shanhe laughed dumbly, put down the half bucket of noodles in his hand (anyway, he can take it from the supermarket at any time), and waved his right hand casually.

White light flashed, and more than a dozen boxes (12 buckets per box) of braised beef noodles were neatly stacked on the open space of the living room.

"This object in the Immortal World, although not a treasure, also has a unique flavor."

"Since Brother Zheng and everyone like it, these will be given to everyone to take back and share with their families. The method of eating has been seen just now, remember to soak it with boiling water."

"Immortal's generous gift! We are deeply grateful!"

Li Si was the first to react, bowing excitedly.

Others also thanked one after another, their eyes glued to the pile of paper boxes.

Ying Zheng was also very moved, but he was an emperor after all, coughed slightly: "National Teacher is generous, I thank you on behalf of the ministers. Just..."

He looked at the mountain of "Immortal Meals," a bit embarrassed, how to take it back?

Let the guards carry it? Seems to lose demeanor.

Gu Shanhe saw his thoughts and smiled: "No problem, this object has the mystery of 'Mustard Seed,' convenient to carry."

Saying that, he thought, took out a batch of non-woven shopping bags (the appearance was simplified) from the system supermarket, and gave one to each person: "Just pack it with this 'Storage Brocade Bag'."

Everyone learned to put a whole box of noodles into the "Storage Brocade Bag," found it light as nothing, and not bloated at all, and were even more amazed.

Not long after, everyone carefully carried their own "Storage Brocade Bags," thanked Gu Shanhe again and again, and then said goodbye and left the "Glazed Immortal Mansion," returning to their homes.

Only the footsteps were much lighter than when they came, and their faces carried uncontrollable excitement and expectation—they were in a hurry to go back and share this "Immortal World delicacy" with their families!

Ying Zheng returned to his bedroom in Xianyang Palace—Zhangtai Palace, and immediately ordered the close attendants:

"Quickly go and call Prince Gao, Prince Lu, Yinman (Princess Yangzi)... all of them! Say I have immortal treasures to bestow!"

Not long after, his several young children were led by eunuchs to the hall, curiously saluting their father.

"All rise."

Ying Zheng was in a very good mood, pointing to the "Storage Brocade Bag" on the table.

"This is the immortal food bestowed by National Teacher Immortal Gu, named 'Immortal Meal Treasure Noodle.' You have a blessing today."

He ordered the eunuchs to fetch boiling water, demonstrated personally, soaked a bucket for himself, and also soaked one for each child. In an instant, Zhangtai Palace was filled with fragrance.

"Father, so fragrant!"

Princess Yangzi Ying Yinman twitched her little nose, looking eagerly at the noodle that started to steam in front of her.

"Wait a moment."

Ying Zheng said warmly, his bucket was ready first, and he couldn't help but eat it.

Well, still so delicious!

Soon, the children's were also ready.

Under Ying Zheng's signal, they carefully learned to pick up the noodles with the "Meal-Eating Jade Dagger."

"Slurp... wow! So delicious!" Prince Gao's eyes widened.

"Brother, this soup is also delicious!" Prince Lu held the bucket and took a sip of soup, his little face full of satisfaction.

"Father, is everything in the Immortal World so delicious?" Princess Yangzi asked with oily lips.

Ying Zheng looked at the children eating happily, and a rare, kind smile appeared on his usually majestic face.

"Immortal's generous gift, you should be grateful."

At the same time, the Chancellor's Mansion.

Li Si returned to the mansion and immediately summoned his wife and children.

"Quick, come and taste! This is the immortal food obtained by His Majesty and father from Immortal Gu!"

He personally soaked four or five buckets and distributed them to his family.

Li Si's wife, son Li You, and others were conquered by this deliciousness they had never experienced after the first bite, the family sat together, the slurping sounds and praises were endless, harmonious and happy.

General's Mansion.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers returned to the mansion together, called their nephews, and shared the "Immortal Noodles."

The Meng family is a military family, with a larger appetite, Meng Tian smacked his lips after finishing a bucket: "This object, if used as military rations, will definitely greatly boost morale! Unfortunately, it is bestowed by the Immortal, and it is hard to get."

Although he said so, looking at the nephews eating sweetly, the rough general's face also showed a smile.

Wang Mansion.

Old General Wang Jian distributed the noodles to several grandsons, and he sat opposite his son Wang Ben to share a bucket.

"Ben'er, Immortal's means are unpredictable. My Great Qin can get the help of the Immortal, it is truly a heavenly blessing. In the future, be respectful to the Immortal at all times, and never neglect."

Wang Ben agreed repeatedly, and the father and son ate noodles while sighing in a low voice.

Feng Quji, Wei Liao, and other heavy ministers' mansions also staged similar warm scenes.

This ordinary braised beef noodle from two thousand years later, with its unique flavor spanning time and space,

on this night, quietly became the "magical delicacy" that connected the immortal and mortal, warming countless Qin noble families.
