I heard that Niangniang is nearsighted

Chapter 77
The heat on the black box gradually decreased, and slowly approached to nothing.

Gu Jinghuai observed it for a while, and opened the tightly fastened cover, his eyes lit up.

The red soup was very attractive, and a burst of aroma erupted the moment the lid was opened, rushing towards Gu Jinghuai unscrupulously.

Pieces of seasoned beef float on the hot pot soup, and various slices of vegetables next to it are neatly set against it.

A group of white vermicelli nestled crystal clear in one corner, covered with a layer of red soup.

It is similar to the hot pepper cake eaten at Fan Cairen's place last time, but it is more luxurious, rich and attractive.

Gu Jinghuai took the chopsticks and was about to start.

"Your Majesty, the General is here again."

Gu Jinghuai put down his chopsticks, and invited Dong, who had gone and returned, to come in.

"It's just in time for you to come, come and taste this, it's very novel, it looks good." Gu Jinghuai waved to his good brother.

Dong Ze was not rigid either. He flipped his robes and sat beside His Majesty, looking at the things His Majesty praised. His sharp gaze was first fixed on the black box itself, and the back of his hand lightly touched the box.

"This kind of material has never been seen before."

"I haven't seen it either."

Gu Jinghuai pondered for a moment, "Is there anything unusual about Fan Cairen's background?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual. Although her grandfather's family was in business, it was absolutely impossible to get such a thing." Dong Ze replied calmly.

Gu Jinghuai was silent for a moment, and did not continue to discuss this topic, but smiled lightly at Dong, and asked someone to give him a pair of chopsticks.

"Come on, let's have a taste together."

Who dares to sit with His Majesty and eat the same food?
Among the courtiers with this honor, only the general has it.

During the most embarrassing days, it was Dong Ze and Gu Jinghuai who depended on each other for life, and their relationship was no longer just that of monarch and minister.

Dong Ze took a piece of beef with Gu Jinghuai and put it in his mouth. As soon as he tasted the spicy taste, he couldn't help frowning.

After getting used to it, I couldn't help speeding up.

Such a box is not enough for two adult men to eat, let alone a kung fu practitioner.

Looking at the bare soup, Gu Jinghuai and Dong looked at each other, and they were not picky at all, let people cook the noodles, vegetables, and mutton, put them into the soup and put them through again before serving them up.

While waiting, Gu Jinghuai suddenly discovered that there was a layer inside the small black box.

Inside the interlayer was a bag of white stuff soaked in water.

"It must have been heated by this thing."

"Your Majesty, if we can find such a thing, there may be other uses for it. If such meals that can be heated at any time can be transformed into military rations, then the soldiers will be blessed."

If the cost is expensive, it will be issued as a reward.

"Leave it to the Ministry of Industry." Gu Jinghuai said shrewdly.

Since it was the first time to eat such a spicy food, the two couldn't help talking while pouring water to relieve it.

"This spicy seasoning can make people feel hot. The frontier is very cold. If you can find this seasoning, it can keep the soldiers from the cold."

Although Dong Ze had no expression on his resolute face, he was wholeheartedly thinking about the frontier soldiers.

Gu Jinghuai sighed. The Dalai City seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is suffering from internal and external troubles. The poor people starve to death and freeze to death every year. The situation has improved a lot since he came to power, but...

"I have already sent someone to look for it, you can rest assured that this year's military salary can..."

The two talked for an hour.

When Dong Ze and Gu Jinghuai came out, the palace people outside all stared wide-eyed.

This--

What did His Majesty and the General do inside for an hour? ! ! !

No matter how well he went in, his face was red when he came out, and the lips of His Majesty and the general were all red and swollen, as if they had done something shocking.

Could it be—

The palace people all stared wide-eyed, bewildered, and hurriedly lowered their heads not daring to look any more.
