Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1517 Open Class

In the morning, Shangluo was making breakfast. Although the exercise at Lake Baikal was only a short day for him, it changed one of his eating habits: stewed meat is really delicious. Unlike a girl with toothache, she could only drink porridge this morning.

Shangluo has eaten a lot of "canned luncheon meat". But among this category, his favorite is the "Defeng brand meat stew canned meat" eaten by Lake Baikal.

The meat stew produced in Northern Zhili has the right ratio of lean meat, fat and starch, and you can even taste the meat particles. When you cut it with a knife, the knife will still be stained with oil. It won't choke you when you eat it dry, and it will be very fragrant when you fry it with a little oil. Moreover, it is not salty, but light in taste.

He was using this method to make breakfast, and he was going to make four servings for himself - not including Yanqiu, because she couldn't eat it today. But after class at noon today, Shangluo would personally take her to see the dentist, and maybe she would be able to eat after the checkup.

The cut meat stew is spread flat on the frying pan, and the part in contact with the pan is fried to a crispy crust, and the whole piece of meat is given a wonderful aroma of starch, fat and meat.

After frying, he cut the toasted buns he had bought in advance, spread soybean paste on both sides, and then put the braised meat in with the lettuce.

"Okay, it's done~" He held the plate and showed it to Ms. Agatha behind him - since Shangluo started cooking, she had been standing behind and staring at Shangluo, as if she was afraid that he would poison it.

"Oh, there's no need for that, Aunt Agatha."

"Ok?"

"Oh no Sister Agatha."

"Hmm." Ms. Agatha glanced at the pot and measured the oil temperature:
"Actually, this doesn't meet Her Majesty Victoria's food standards. But since you made it, it's okay for her to eat it."

"So what exactly is Victoria's standard for eating?"

"The temperature of your grill pan is too high. You are frying the meat with sunflower oil. The smoke point of sunflower oil is 107 degrees. The temperature of the grill pan exceeds its smoke point, which may cause adverse reactions to your health."

"Ah, this. How should I improve it?"

"Hmm" Ms. Agatha fell into thought.

This was not a problem in itself, because she was supposed to cook for Victoria, and she could ensure that Victoria's diet met her requirements. But now Shangluo and Phaethon took turns cooking, and she could only help out occasionally - the only thing she was thankful for was that Victoria didn't cook herself, otherwise it would be a disaster.

"If you must fry it yourself, it is recommended to use oil with a high smoke point such as coconut oil or tea oil, or just palm oil."

“Are these healthy?”

"These are not healthy either, but I can tolerate them. They are good for my mental health - there is no other way. Watching you cook is a torture for me. I can only find a way to relieve my emotions. Can't you just let me cook?"

"That won't do. Aunt Agatha, you are a guest, Victoria's aunt. How can we let you cook for us when you come to our house?"

"Have you ever considered calling it Golden Arches?"

“So it turns out that takeout from Golden Arches is more up to standard?”

"At least it meets food safety standards and the nutritional content is very transparent. When I watch you cook, I have no idea what you are putting in it."

Ms. Agatha's food safety standards have nothing to do with ingredients - she doesn't care what ingredients Shangluo eats. She only cares whether the cooking method is scientific and whether the food is nutritionally balanced.

After all, no matter what food you eat, it will be broken down into substances that can or cannot be used by the human body. So the only thing you need to grasp is the way you put it in your mouth.

In other words, what she cared about was whether the meal was under her control and could be analyzed in a scientific way.

"So, Sister Agatha, do you think that we can best meet these standards by just eating these things raw?"

"Hmm," Agatha thought for a while, "right. That's it."

"really."

"There's no need to fry the meat stew today. Just cut it up and add it in directly."

"That won't work. You have to fry it before eating it so that it has soul."

The two looked at each other for a while -

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ms. Agatha shook her head. "How about I bring back some oil for Victoria next time?"

"That would be great, I don't have to go buy oil. If possible, could you bring some other ingredients?"

"That's fine, but your refrigerator is not big enough. Different ingredients have different storage temperatures. Some need to be refrigerated, some need to be dehumidified, some need to be frozen, and some need to be deep-frozen. You..."

"Can I make a big one?"

"Okay." Agatha nodded. "Look, as long as you don't do anything behind the scenes and don't add anything to it, this meal can still be made - so what did you throw into the meal last night?"

"Jerky. Yes, pork jerky. I threw it into the rice. It was delicious."

"We also have dried meat made with fish sauce. But why is yours so thin as paper and still crispy?"

"Because it's meat paper, a variation of pork jerky, it's very thin and crispy. It's especially delicious when added to rice."

"That's fine. That's fine." Ms. Agatha was not that picky. She just wanted to know what it was. But last night, when Victoria was eating, she couldn't ask her what she was eating, so she waited until the morning to ask.

"Well, I'll go get it for Victoria."

"She said yesterday she was coming down to eat."

"Yes! I'm already down!" Victoria climbed down the escalator by herself after getting dressed. "Ah, what a wonderful smell! I knew that the food Shangluo likes to eat must be delicious."

"Eh?" Ms. Agatha asked in surprise, "Why did you get up to eat breakfast? Don't you always eat breakfast in bed?"

"Because Shangluo said it's not polite to eat breakfast in bed, so I changed it. Wow, are all four of these mine? Thank you so much."

"Yes, all of them are yours." Victoria's appetite was not in line with her body size, and she actually ate quite a lot. The four dishes he made just now were all for Victoria, and he had to make another one for himself.

Phaethon had also woken up a long time ago, but she followed a regular schedule, so it was not time for her to get up yet. She would wait until 8 o'clock.

"Good morning, Shangluo."

"Good morning, your breakfast is ready."

"I smell it. Please pack one for me. I'll eat one at home and the other at school."

“Are you busy today?”

"Yes, I have to go to the Academic Affairs Office today to get a new schedule. I heard that a new course will be added. It's really strange. The school has already started, why would there be a new course added to the schedule?" "Oh, because it's like this-"

Shangluo conveyed the communication between himself and the two celestial masters to Phaethon.

"So, Master Sanfeng is coming to give lectures here? Here???"

"Yeah. But it doesn't matter, just listen to the class."

"No, it doesn't matter to you, you are a student. I am a teaching assistant! Just listen to me, I have to work. I have to get up early. Oh, by the way, does your senior know?"

"He should know. After all, Daozu should have told him. But if Daozu didn't tell him, he probably wouldn't know."

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang.

"Shangluo! Shangluo! Something happened. Just now at Yuxi Palace, Daozu told me that starting today, Tianshi Sanfeng will be teaching in your school!"

"Brother, you just found out?"

"You already know?"

"Yesterday, I happened to meet Master Sanfeng."

"Oh my goodness, I am the last one to know. Elder Wen also knows about this, right? If he doesn't know, how will the school arrange it?"

"I heard that Sanfeng Tianshi became a professor through normal application channels."

"Good fellow," Zhu Xianxun listened for a while, "Those old guys took advantage of our recent busyness and gave us a big job, Shangluo. You are in that class, right?"

"Yes." Shangluo nodded, "That class is on my schedule."

"Great, great - but I don't have time today, what a shame. How about you sit in on the class for me, take some notes and show them to me later. I'll go to every class every week from now on."

This is the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, and it was said by the Heavenly Master himself.

What is Tao? No one can explain it clearly. But at least, the Heavenly Master has more say than others.

Although this course explains the Dao from the perspective of "economic history" rather than directly explaining the true meaning of the Dao, this is undoubtedly an extremely important opportunity. Zhu Xianxi plans to let everyone who can go to listen, and squeeze in more people without disrupting the normal teaching order. There is no chance today, but this class is once a week, and there will be one next week.

The first class at 9:20 in the morning is the economic history class that was added in. This class will last for an hour and a half and end at 10:50.

During this one and a half hour, everyone present, whether they were aware of the situation or not, was able to hear the Heavenly Master talk about the Hunyuan Dao Fruit through the medium of economic history.

"Eh? Senior brother, why are you here?"

Shangluo was looking for a seat to sit down when he suddenly saw Zhu Xianxun sitting next to him.

"Brother, don't you have a meeting this morning?"

"Oh, well, I have a headache. Anyway, the emperor governs the world with emptiness and tranquility, it's all the same, all the same." While explaining, Zhu Xianxun took out his notebook.

On the podium, Sanfeng Tianshi has appeared——

On the podium, a big man with big ears and round eyes walked out. He looked unkempt, with messy hair that looked a bit sloppy. He had a beard on his chin that looked like a halberd and a big beard, like a lawless outlaw.

"Is this Tianshi Sanfeng?" Shangluo asked in surprise, "He was not like this when I saw him yesterday."

"He's getting serious. He's really serious." Zhu Xianxun murmured. Noticing that Shangluo didn't understand, he explained in a low voice, "Tianshi Sanfeng is from Liaodong. When he was young, he was called Zhang Sloppy. This unkempt look is his true image. Look at this big beard. Does it look like the bearded guest from the Three Heroes of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Who is the bearded man?"

"You don't know? The immortal in the Tang Dynasty novels became friends with Li Jing, Hong Fu Nu and others. In the end, he gave up the idea of ​​competing with Emperor Taizong of Tang for the world, led an army of 100,000 from the sea into Liaodong, killed the King of Buyeo and destroyed the Buyeo Kingdom, and established himself as the king. The most typical feature of the bearded guest is such an unkempt beard. Some people say that Sanfeng Tianshi was so sloppy when he was young, so he compared himself to the immortal Qiu Ranke who was also in Liaodong. It is said that Sanfeng Tianshi once had ambitions to rule the world, and that was the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, Sanfeng Tianshi became disheartened and withdrew from the world and no longer saw outsiders until the Jiajing period, when a blood scripture written by himself was passed down. The old emperor asked in person, wanting to hear whether it was true or not - if it was said that it was sent by an old man with a white beard, the old emperor would know it was fake as soon as he heard it. But the person who came said that it was a sloppy Taoist, and the old emperor understood it as soon as he heard it. This one above..."

Zhu Xianxun glanced up and said, "Master Zhang Sanfeng has revealed his true form. This is going to be real. Good news, good news. He is going to talk about the Hunyuan Dao Fruit!"

Having said that, Shangluo was actually looking forward to hearing from this sloppy Taoist with a beard as long as a spear. What kind of economics and great principles would he talk about?

"Ahem." On the podium, the sloppy Taoist coughed into the microphone and tested the sound. "Hello, students."

"Hello, sir~~" Everyone stood up and bowed to the sloppy Taoist.

"Hello, everyone. Please take a seat. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang San, and I am from Liaodong. Starting today, I will teach you the course "Economic History". Let's choose a class representative first, and come up to distribute the handouts to everyone. Let me see the list. Oh, student Shangluo, it's you. Here are the handouts, and they are distributed to everyone. Just study according to the handouts, and you don't need to take notes. If you know, you know, and if you don't, you don't know. It doesn't matter, just let the course flow. As long as you attend class on time, you will be given credits. As for what you can learn, it depends on how much you want to learn."

Shangluo hurried forward, walked to the podium and began distributing handouts.

Han Xingzhi arrived early. He lived on campus and sat in the first row. Shangluo divided the handouts into rows and columns and passed them to the first row one by one.

Han Xingzhi was excited and took the handout from Shangluo. He took a look at it before passing it on.
"????"

He was stunned.

"What's wrong? Pass it on."

"Ah, this. Is this something you can say?"

"Any questions?"

Han Xingzhi shook his head violently and just passed it on, not daring to say more. Everyone who got the handouts was stunned for a moment.

Shangluo had not yet had time to look at the handouts because he was about to hand them out. He waited until the last few pages were handed out before he gave them to Zhu Xianxi, one for each of them. At this time, an uneasy atmosphere had already surged throughout the classroom.

The two sat down and read the first paragraph:
If there are many animals and few people, then food and clothing are easy to obtain; if there are many people and few animals, then competition for benefits will increase. Therefore, the problem of the world is that there are too many people - this is also recorded in "Zhuangzi·Robber Zhi".

"??????"

"Shit!!!" Zhu Xianxi suddenly realized, "How could I forget! He... He is a Taoist priest! As a Taoist priest, he must be doing Laozi and Zhuangzi! Shangluo, I... I have a headache, my blood pressure is a little high, can you help me check if the next page is "Cang Tian is dead and Huang Tian should be established"?

"no."

"That's good. What's the next page?"

"The next page is: When the great principles are abandoned, there is benevolence and righteousness; when wisdom emerges, there is great hypocrisy. When sages and wisdom are abandoned, the people benefit a hundredfold; when benevolence and righteousness are abandoned, the people return to filial piety and kindness."
