Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 530 Wontons
The next day was the weekend, but Shangluo got up early.After breakfast with Phaethon, they both started today's work.

Shangluo is going to meet someone he hasn't seen for a while today.

Confucius Temple, roadside breakfast stall.

"Master Sa, good morning."

"Well, good morning. Come on, come on, sit here." Sa Shoujian was sitting on a bench at a roadside stall, eating wontons from a porcelain bowl with a small spoon.

This wonton shop is so popular that the seats are lined up from inside the room to outside.It's late autumn and it's a bit cold outside. A bowl of hot wontons is just the right way to ward off the cold - but do immortals also need to ward off the cold?

Shangluo couldn't tell, but Sa Shoujian seemed to really like eating these wontons.

"I know the owner of this store."

"Oh~~This store seems to be quite famous. I heard Wen Yuan say it before. He said it was a time-honored store that was opened in Wanli year. It has been open to this day."

"I'm talking about the boss of Wanli Nian."

"Good guy, what are you doing, master?"

"Every time I come to Beijing or when I leave, I have to eat a portion and see how my old friend's descendants are doing. However, since this store has been open, it has been inherited by apprentices many times. , so the name of the store has been changed many times. This taste."

"what about the taste?"

"It's completely different from before. There was no MSG in the wontons at that time. There was no MSG at all at that time. But I think it tastes better with MSG added. It turns out that soup... tsk tsk tsk."

"Master Nasa, what did you eat originally?"

"Egg skin, seaweed, pickled mustard and dried shrimps are the side dishes. The soup base is made with lard and boiled water, and the taste is quite ordinary, but the seaweed and dried shrimps can bring out a little bit of umami, but that's only a little bit—— At that time, this shop was still a wonton stall, and they sold one-shoulder picks. You know one-shoulder picks, right?"

"Um, I don't know." Shangluo shook his head.

"Tsk, tsk, today's young people. A shoulder pick means that the whole wonton stall is made into a shoulder and carried on the shoulder. For example, when selling wontons, there is a small cabinet for holding wontons and a small one for heating hot water. Stove. One hand is carrying a small stall to sell, and the other hand is holding a bamboo board to shout. The bamboo boards in different places are different. There is one set in Beijing, another set in Ningbo, and another set in Shandong, Henan or further north. .”

"what"

"Haven't eaten?"

"No." Shangluo shook his head, "I eat more in the cafeteria."

"Then try it? Have a bowl?"

"Yeah." Although he had already eaten in the morning, a bowl of snacks would also be nice.

"Boss, have a bowl of family photos." Sa Shoujian called from behind his sunglasses.It was almost winter, but he was still wearing beach shorts, and he didn't look cold at all.

The wontons came out very quickly, and a large bowl was served in less than 1 minute.The ones there were different from the small wontons that Sa Shojian ate, they were both big wontons.

In the wonton floating on top, you can vaguely see the egg yolk through the semi-transparent skin. This is an egg yolk wonton. "Wow, this is quite luxurious." He glanced at the price list next to him.This bowl of wontons costs 45 Wen, "Then I won't thank you. It would be a bit disrespectful to say thank you for eating a bowl of wontons, right?"

"That's right. Just eat, why bother? By the way, are you ready to go to Nanyang?"

Two topics were straddled in one sentence without any foreshadowing.This is more efficient for heavenly beings.

"Are you going now?"

"Because the crew is in Lanfang, I have to go to Lanfang to watch it. If you want to learn magical powers, you can go with me to the crew first, because Wang Lingguan will start filming next year. You also have it in Guoxing arrange?"

"Ah, yes, indeed." Shangluo nodded, "It's not just filming, there are other things. But now I want to ask Master Sa, what do you think about inviting the Heavenly Official to come down?"

"Yeah." Sa Shou insisted and took a bite of wontons first.He knew about this before, Zhu Xianxen told him.

"First of all, you need to know how to invite Tianguan. Tianguan is not created out of thin air, just like the noble Tianyi. You need to give them a meaning. Just like Wang Lingguan."

"Can Wang Lingguan also be invited in the form of a paper man?"

"Of course." Sa Shoujian nodded, "But it's similar to the New Year picture door god, so you young people may not like it. You like Wang Lingguan's cartoons, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Shangluo nodded repeatedly.

"Then you'll have to talk to them in person."

"Talk to me? But isn't that a character in the comics?"

"One painting, one world. When a story is created, the story becomes alive. Of course, I am not asking you to directly negotiate terms with the people in the story. You will have your own way when the time comes. But which one can be negotiated is still It depends on your own opportunity. Besides, it’s not just Wang Lingguan’s comics. You want the 28-constellation Heavenly Official, right? We can also talk about it.”

"Wait, are they good-natured?"

Sa Shoujian shook his head: "First of all, you have to figure out what the gods are asking for - what they are asking for is actually how they appear in front of everyone and in everyone's hearts, not what they mean. Because fundamentally On the screen, they don’t exist. They are just a mirror, reflecting everyone’s vision. But the moment you go to invite them, they are determined and fixed in your painting. So your painting, painting The more 'close to the face' you have to do, the better the effect will be. Do you understand what 'close to the face' means?"

"Yes. I understand. Even though the fictional characters themselves don't have portraits, people will form an image by convention when they look at them? So they will feel that there are paintings that look like them, and there are paintings that don't look like them."

"This is a list." Sa Shojian sent an invitation and pulled Shangluo into the group. "The group is full of painters who have cooperated with our company. If you are interested, you can contact them yourself. Their portfolios are on the forum. As you can see above - you're pretty handy at getting things done. When have you been free recently?"

"Right away. Winter vacation is coming soon. During winter vacation, shall I go to Nanyang?"

"It's time to go to avoid the cold. You are quite thoughtful. So before that, before you start studying here, you'd better go say hello to the other old friends. Not to mention the two who are missing. You have to go to Wudang Mountain because you have to go there to get the textbooks."

"I know, I'm going there soon."

"In addition, the most important thing is." He looked at Shangluo, "Daojun, there is still one thing missing between you. If you want to change this or that, you have to see him in the end, right? What's the most important thing for you? If you have something to say, just talk it over first. Daojun doesn't like to talk things out, so you have to start the conversation by yourself. Well, let's do this first. Boss, check out."
