Chapter 357 It’s time to make a difference
Jiang Lili and Wen Qiaosheng Zhixing each got a cup of milk tea.
Xin Che followed Jiang Lili's choice. He drank whatever Jiang Lili drank, and it was never wrong.
Jiang Lili saw Sonia standing at the palace gate feeling a little uneasy, so she picked up a cup of peach Sijichun fruit tea and handed it to Sonia.
When Sangya saw Jiang Lili and the others holding a cup of milk tea, she thought it was some necessary ritual to join the goddess' messenger, similar to drinking and swearing brotherhood, so she had to take it.
She saw through the wall of the cup and saw the strange pink juice and white lumps in the cup. Are the things that people here drink when they form an alliance so scary?
Whenever Sanya encountered something she didn't understand, she would instinctively want to ask Su Rui. This was a habit she developed when she and Su Rui went down to the tomb, but now she was the only foreigner here.
She couldn't help but wish that Su Rui was here. Perhaps Su Rui could explain to her what this was.
Realizing her own thoughts, Sonya was shocked.
Sonia took off the mask covering her face, closed her eyes, and opened them again. As if she had made full mental preparation, she followed Jiang Lili and the others and took a sip through a straw.
Sonia opened her eyes wide, and was very surprised that the drink was so delicious that she couldn't help but take a second and third sip. She tasted the peach pulp in the cup, and it seemed like a fragrant and sweet fruit!
Isn’t this stuff better than wine?
Perhaps because she had lived a hard life in the past, Sonya likes sweet food very much. However, there is a shortage of supplies in the desert, so even sweet grape wine has to be consumed sparingly.
Jiang Lili couldn't help laughing when she saw Sanya's expression change from as if she was drinking Chinese medicine to an expression of "it smells so good".
Sonya held up the cup, her eyelashes fluttering, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this?"
“A drink made by mixing fruit and tea.”
Jiang Lili saw that Sonia was like a curious baby, with confusion in her big gray-green eyes, which was a somewhat cute contrast compared to her previous ambitious and ferocious appearance.
She patiently explained to Sonya: "The cup in your hand is called Peach Sijichun, and there is peach pulp in the cup."
“A peach is a fruit.”
Then, she pointed to the fruits and cakes on the table and said, "Those are edible. If you want to eat, go get them yourself."
Sonya was shocked when she heard this, but she controlled her emotions well: "Is it because today is the alliance ceremony that such a grand banquet is held?"
Jiang Lili shook her head: "No, if you want to eat it, it's available every day."
Eating fruit every day is the nutritional standard here.
Sonia was shocked, and quickly picked up the cup of milk tea in her hand and asked, "Can I have this tea every day?"
"sure!"
Jiang Lili touched her chin. It was just that there was too much sugar in the milk tea. It was okay to drink it occasionally. "It's not healthy to drink something so sweet every day. If you like sweet things, we can try something else."
When Sanya heard Jiang Lili's answer, she was shocked. She could have such a luxurious thing every day? This time Sanya couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "It's great to have this."
She said sincerely, "Thank you, Goddess."
This time it was Jiang Lili's turn to be dumbfounded. A cup of fruit tea from Xuebing City could satisfy the leader of the desert aliens. This deal was too good to be true. What kind of hard life did this kid live in the past?
Seeing the seriousness in Sanya's expression, Jiang Lili couldn't help but joked, "If you want to drink it every day in the future, the money for buying fruit tea will be deducted from your salary."
Sonya seemed to understand the word "remuneration" and asked, "What is remuneration?"
"It's the bounty I give you every month."
"I get a bounty every month?"
Even if Sonya tried to control herself, she couldn't hide her doubts and worries: "But you have promised to take care of the food rations for the 3000 men under my command."
On the way here with Jiang Lili, Sangya organized the Xin family army to push cartloads of lunch boxes out of the city. Jiang Lili told her at the time that the boxes contained dinner for the soldiers.
"The rations you provide are too good. Now you have to pay me. Will you not have enough food?"
She was really worried about the future of herself and her soldiers. They were eating so well now, but what would happen in the future?
"The 3000 people under you don't eat and drink for free. They also have to work for me. Of course, they have to eat well so that they can do their job well."
Jiang Lili curled her lips when she heard what Sangya said. Without Su Rui to explain these to Sangya, Sangya was obviously quite confused.
Sangya immediately showed great respect for Jiang Lili. Not only did the goddess manage the people of the Mi Kingdom and the navy under her command, but she also took care of everything. The food she provided was also very good and she did not treat anyone unfairly.
It is really amazing that the goddess has raised and led a large number of people under her so well by herself.
Sonia increasingly believed that Jiang Lili could help her achieve her goals.
At this moment, a fair-skinned little boy strode into the palace.
Sonya looked at the boy and
Wen Qiao was wearing the same robe as Wen Qiao, and was confused and shocked. Is this child also a messenger of God?
This little boy is Master Liao. Master Liao originally wanted to fight with Jiang Lili and the others, but the others unanimously decided to let him hide and watch the whole fight.
Hearing that Jiang Lili and the others had solved the problem, he couldn't wait to run over.
Master Liao was heading straight for his afternoon tea, but when he saw Sonya's exotic face, he immediately slowed down.
Master Liao smiled at Sonya, revealing two rows of half-grown teeth. He greeted Sonya in the Arabic he had just learned, then stood on tiptoe to pick up a cup of milk tea on the table.
Sonya was almost melted by this little bun. She had never seen such a cute child.
Afterwards, Jiang Lili took Sangya to try the fruit platter and fruit sandwich cake. No matter how good Sangya's self-control was, she couldn't resist such temptation. She swallowed Jiang Lili's pill. Since she was already on the other party's boat, she chose to believe it.
Sonia started eating gradually. She fiddled with the fork and ate the cake with unfamiliarity. The soft cream melted in her mouth. Sonia couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
She looked up and saw Jiang Lili, Wen Qiao, Sheng Zhixing, Xin Che and Liao Dabao standing on the other side of the table, talking and laughing. The warm yellow candlelight of the palace shone on them. The five of them formed a tacit aura that no one could interrupt.
Sonya suddenly felt envious.
Jiang Lili was discussing the academic committee members' results in the imperial examination.
Sheng Zhixing looked excited: "Xue Wei just said that the examination results have been announced!"
"How did he do this time?"
Wen Qiao's expression was obviously much calmer. This was the first time that the student council member had worked so hard. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to win the first place in the exam.
"Of course it's just as we expected, we won first place!"
Jiang Lili glanced at the private message Xue Wei had just sent: "Now everyone in the capital is discussing what official position Emperor Qingning will give him after his palace examination!"
