Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 18 The Golden Arches

"If I look for it myself. Ah! I found it!"

【So fast?where?Why didn't I see where? 】

--"welcome."

The clerk wearing the golden arches puts down his mop.

"Excuse me, can I borrow the toilet?"

Receiving an affirmative answer, he put his coat on the back of the chair.

"Thank you!" Shang Luo didn't have time to say anything else.This golden arch on the side of the road is a lifesaver.

No matter the time of day, Golden Arches toilets can always be trusted.

After leaving the coat containing Apollonia outside, he finally had a chance to attend to his "personal affairs".

Three minutes later, Shangluo returned to his seat.

[Have you washed your hands? 】

"I said you can run away without washing? After washing, don't worry. Do you want to eat something?"

[Don't eat? ] Apollonia replied sullenly, apparently annoyed at not being able to eat.

"Wait, you're angry? Does that mean you used to be able to eat?"

【Stop telling me, okay?Are you Jin Yiwei?How do you make a cliché? 】

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about you, I'll buy something to eat myself." He put on his coat and walked to the counter:
"Well, let me see, it's the same as the menu in San Francisco." But upon closer inspection, there were some surprises on it.

"There is porridge with preserved egg and lean meat? Isn't this a menu unique to Kinai?"

"It came by air," the clerk replied.The clerk who just swept the floor is now standing behind the counter, "The menu in Las Vegas is different from other places in the New World. We supply directly from Kinai."

"It's true. After all, this place is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. You are also sent from abroad? How is the business here?"

"Business is okay. But this one is not so good. There are many golden arches in Las Vegas, and the one inside is more lively. This one is closer to the outside, and the natives who come by car will not spend their money here at all. .What do you want to eat?"

"Let me take a look." Knowing that there is the same menu in Kinai that he hadn't seen for a long time, his mood improved a lot.

Looking up, he saw that they were all the ones he was familiar with, but there was no Shangluo's favorite poor ghost set meal in his previous life.

"Porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, then a cup of lemon black tea, and a fried chicken burger."

"Okay. Please sit down over there, and I'll send it back to you later."

Everything is the same as before.Shangluo felt more comfortable than ever. This place is even closer to my hometown on the other side of the ocean than San Francisco.

Walking back to his seat, there was also a low roar in the sky.

【Well, the airship for the morning flight has also arrived.By the way, airships are more popular here? 】

"People who are not in a hurry will still choose to take the airship. It is spacious and does not need to curl up the legs behind the seat. And the plane is too noisy, and the wings will block the view. The airship is more stable and the scenery is better. There is a kitchen to cook on-site, and the plane can only eat convenience food. If I can choose, I will probably choose the airship. It takes three days to return home, but it is as luxurious as a cruise.”

Just as he was talking, the aroma of preserved egg and lean pork porridge came over.That is the long-lost umami taste-although San Francisco has sufficient supplies, the seasoning is always lackluster.The canteen there doesn't seem to care whether the diners can eat deliciously, but there are a lot of dry goods.

Compared with the radish stew that is not changed all year round, even the preserved egg and lean meat porridge is considered fresh.

"Well, it's still the original recipe, and it still tastes familiar." The clerk had already placed his plate on the table, which contained lemon black tea and hamburger besides preserved egg and lean pork porridge.

As usual, the dinner plate was lined with paper, and it was also a poster of the same style in Jinai: Emperor Taizu was hunted down by Yuan soldiers, and died of hunger on the side of the road.Suddenly a kind old lady came out from the side of the road and brought him a meal, which was two slices of baked buns sandwiching vegetables and meat.A man is full after eating one, so it is called Hanbao.Emperor Taizu ate Chinese buns and defeated Yuan soldiers in one go.

As for why Hanbao was changed to hamburger later, it was a joke about Emperor Taizu's banquet after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which was written on another piece of paper.

"Tsk, is it a hamburger now? I remember that when I watched it, Emperor Taizu ate French fries and Emperor Taizu drank Coke. No matter where Emperor Taizu went, someone gave him something to eat."

[Then your Emperor Taizu, he is very popular.The Roman emperor could only eat eggs when he went out.Are you going to eat?Ah somehow, I'm a little hungry. 】

Shangluo opened his mouth wide and bit into all the layers of the burger in one bite.After all these years, the burger is still the same size.Even a two-layer cake is difficult to eat in one bite, and a three-layer cake needs to be squeezed with your hands to eat in one bite.

"Hmm~~ That's the smell."

You should not speak with your mouth while eating, for only Apollonia can hear him.

"The aroma of this sauce is a familiar taste. It is a cheap industrial product, but it has staple food and meat, and it gives you a sense of peace of mind when you are full."

He let out the hamburger in his mouth with tea, and he let out a long sigh of relief: "Ah, I'm alive. Then, let's start working, time is limited, eat as you go. I have to read some information before I can make a decision."

He put down half a hamburger and asked the clerk to borrow a guide map of Las Vegas.Various scenic spots in the city - mainly "amusement facilities" with various characteristics, are all listed in the atlas.

Along the Las Vegas Boulevard along the central axis, hotels from all over the world open here.Neoclassical architecture in Rome, Mayan Revivalism architecture in Yangzhou, and miniature replicas of Egyptian pyramids and sphinxes.There are 6 racecourses alone, and they are all close together. Even in the off-season of tourism, the venues are full.The exquisite picture book has thumbnails for each iconic building, and the free guide book alone looks very decent.

Decent, is the characteristics of Las Vegas.

This is a gambler's paradise, but also a gambler's hell.Some people go to heaven physically here, and some people go to hell physically here.Such strange flowers can bloom in the desert, and all secrets can also be buried.As long as it is buried, everyone will be decent.

"Where did they take you last time?"

[I don’t know, I’m too lazy to care about them, so I made that closed-loop divination gadget for them.The card is with you, and you can also use it to divine the success of this trip later.Or use something else. 】

"Isn't that perfunctory for them?"

【Yes and no.True from sending to replying, Solitaire really provided them with answers from the Akashic records.It's just that I didn't expend energy to help them solve the hexagrams.If you want, I will help you solve the hexagram.And it's not just cards, everything I look at can be interpreted as a sign.For example, after drinking black tea, you can just look at the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup. 】
