Chapter 151 Accident
By the time Zhang Qi arrived at the noodle shop, it was already completely dark, and every household on the street lit up lanterns, adding a lot of festive atmosphere to the sparse streets at this time.
Of course, the lanterns are filled with light bulbs. These days, almost no one uses fire to light red lanterns.
And now that the Lunar New Year has passed, bright fireworks can be seen blooming slowly in the sky from time to time over the area where firecrackers are allowed to be set off in the distance. The golden flames burn freely in the sky, coating the people walking at night with a layer of gold. .
"This young man, what are you going to do?"
the noodle shop boy asked across the table.
"A bowl of fried noodles with a fried egg."
Zhang Qi asked casually, then took out a 10 yuan note from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Okay, sit inside and wait for a while. There is free hot tea on the table over there. If you want, you can drink some to warm yourself up."
The guy said to Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi nodded after hearing this, and then walked into the lobby.
It was dinner time, and the restaurant hall was almost full of people, mostly citizens, but Zhang Qi saw a very prominent Western face at a glance.
"Astoria"!
Zhang Qi shouted in English towards the innermost table.
Astoria, who was holding a noodle bowl and slurping noodles, raised her head in confusion, and Zhang Qi could see a lot of sweet noodle sauce on her cheeks.
The woman sitting next to her in a white down jacket smiled helplessly, then took out a tissue from the tissue box on the dining table and gently wiped Astoria's face.
"Hilbert"?
Astoria looked toward the door of the restaurant and saw Zhang Qi with a helpless face. Then she exclaimed, snatched the paper towel from the white lady's hand, and wiped her face fiercely. .
"Let you two worry about it, seniors."
Zhang Qi walked over generously and sat on the empty seat on the table.
"This child hasn't been out much since he was a child, right? I don't think he has much ability to take care of himself"...
The White Lady nodded as a greeting, and then asked.
"Indeed, her disease poses a certain risk to herself and others, so this child has basically never left the family castle before she reaches adulthood."
Zhang Qi replied.
"But he is a pretty good kid, but his life is too hard."
The White Lady sighed.
"This alchemical eye is very beautiful, but it costs you a lot of money."
Zhang Qi glanced at Astoria, who was not wearing an eyepatch now. There was a beautiful green eye in her left eye socket, almost exactly like her sister.
"It's nothing. The little kid named Zou gave it to me, and I didn't even ask for any money."
The White Lady shrugged her shoulders and then continued:
"Alchemy is a very profound thing. If there is no deep foundation as a foundation, some unexpected accidents may occur, so remember to think twice before operating."
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure about."
Zhang Qi replied.
"By the way, your principal at Hogwarts is very capable. When you have nothing to do, learn a few tricks from others. That little doll is pretty good."
The White Lady continued:
"Transformation and potion science in Western Europe are much more advanced than ours. For example, their Bone Creation Spirit can heal bones with a gentle cough, while our Jinshang Powder can only heal trauma."
"But our attack spells and alchemy are much more advanced than theirs. The Western European magicians give me the impression that they are pointing at each other with a small wooden stick... By the way, do you have a magic wand? Bring it to me. Let me see".
Zhang Qi took out his golden wand from his waist and handed it to the White Lady respectfully.
"It's quite interesting. It is probably the work of a certain royal alchemist. The creativity and magic circuits are very similar to ours... But this gauntlet almost represents the pinnacle of Western alchemy. You are quite lucky."
The White Lady looked at the wand in her hand and nodded in admiration.
"Here, young man, you want fried noodles with fried eggs"!
At this time, the waiter had already brought a bowl of steaming noodles to the table.
"thanks".
Zhang Qi quickly took the noodles and put them on the table.
"Let's eat first. I haven't eaten for a day, so I'm probably hungry."
The White Lady stopped talking when she saw that the noodles had been put on the table.
Zhang Qi was not polite. He picked up the egg with the chopsticks on the table, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Authentic stupid eggs, the candy inside flows out of your mouth after one bite, making it taste even more delicious.
The sugar-coated egg is the soul of the noodles and does not accept any refutation.
Mix the sweet noodle sauce, cucumber shreds, and potato shreds with the noodles in the bowl evenly. Zhang Qi picked up a large piece of noodles with chopsticks and bit down hard.
"Comrade, please have another bowl. This child hasn't eaten for a day, so one bowl may not be enough."
Xiao Qing shook her head slightly, then waved her hand and said to the waiter.
"Okay, wait a moment, it will be delivered right away."
When the waiter heard this, he immediately answered and ran to the kitchen.
“I haven’t had such authentic fried noodles in a long time”…
Zhang Qi swallowed all the noodles in his mouth, raised his head, and continued with some emotion:
"I would like to ask, where do you two seniors want to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"Suzhou and Hangzhou have invested in the reconstruction of the Leifeng Pagoda in West Lake this year. We can't go back for the time being, so we will probably stay in Peiping to celebrate the New Year with Xiaolin. Don't you want to stay here too?"
White Lady said.
"General Huaqing invited me to Lushun. I think I will spend time there this year."
Zhang Qi shook his head and then asked:
"Are you interested in going to Dalian? I plan to make some dumplings stuffed with mackerel fillings."
"Forget it, Xiaolin can't leave the imperial city even during the Chinese New Year due to her position. The two of us will stay here with her."
The White Lady waved her hands and then said:
"Anyway, in two years, Shen Jian will go to your place to participate in the competition. Maybe I will go too."
"Hey? Where has that little girl gone?"
Just as the two were talking, Xiaoqing next to them suddenly asked.
"Should we go to the bathroom?"
Zhang Qi said.
"No, no, it's almost 10 minutes, why aren't you back?"
The White Lady immediately stood up and began to look to the side.
"Not in the house, let's go to the door and have a look."
The White Lady said in a deep voice.
"Remember what I said this morning"...
"damn it"!
The White Lady and Xiao Qing looked at each other at the same time, then held the hilt of the sword at their waist.
"There's something out there, and I feel it too."
At this time, Shen Jian, who had been looking at the bag beside him, also stood up, and the wand, which was as clear as red crystal, was half exposed from the cuff of his sleeve.
"I also smelled it, it was the rancid smell of the dead."
Zhang Qi's eyes narrowed sharply.
