In the small courtyard of Lin Yan.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo and Grand Duke of Underworld sat around a table.
There is no doubt that they are all looking forward to Lin Yan's food.
Especially the Grand Duke of Underworld, he has already determined Lin Yan's identity.
This is the real boss!
When he entered the small courtyard at the beginning, the spirit power that was so active and strong that he was a member of top level strata of Star Luo Empire had never experienced it before and it had deeply shocked him.
After that, whether it is the divine water that can wash the body and soul of a person, or the big pineapple that makes people's strength soar, they refreshed his cognitive view time and time again.
At this point, he also knew why the dignified Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's crown jewel, the little witch, Ning Rongrong wanted to follow Lin Yan as her teacher and why Sword Douluo was acting like a follower.
Let's put it this way.
If his daughter were not in front of him, he the Grand Duke of the Underworld would be acting no better than Ning Rongrong and Sword Douluo.
But the current results are already very good, and there is no need to be superfluous.
He can see that his daughter has firmly held on to the boss's thigh.
Hmm... just keep doing what you want! The Star Luo royal family is nothing.
It won't be long before he has the confidence that with the help of his daughter they would be able to change the name of the royal family of the Star Luo Empire to Zhu!
"The fish soup is here."
Finally, Lin Yan carried a large pot of fish soup and set it on the table.
And everyone's eyes were attracted by the fish soup in the basin.
Is this really fish soup?
It is crystal clear as white jade.
This is simply an exquisite artwork that people can't bear to blaspheme it.
They don't know how many delicacies they have eaten in their life.
But this pot of fish soup seems to have a fatal attraction. The fragrance that keeps overflowing has already robbed people's souls.
"Guru..."
"Gu Gu..."
Zhu Zhuqing gently pressed her lips.
Obviously, it is to curb the gluttons sound from her stomach.
Only Ning Rongrong was the most excessive.
"Slurp..."
She is trying hard to wet her lips with her tongue.
She looks more like a cat than Zhu Zhuqing.
However, it is a gluttonous cat.
"Okay, let's start everyone."
Lin Yan's words seemed to be the sound the horn of the battle.
Everyone held their spoons and stuffed their mouths frantically.
Not far away, the big red dog lying down on his belly near the wall slandered: "Is this the legendary hungry dog rushing for food?"
Suddenly the Grand Duke of Underworld came to stop.
"Grand Duke? What's the matter?"
Lin Yan noticed the anomaly.
"No, it's okay...maybe a fishbone scratched my throat."
The Grand Duke of Underworld hurried answered him.
But in his heart, there was a huge wave washing over him.
If it wasn't because he didn't dare to make trouble in front of the big guy, he would have definitely stood up to scream up to the sky.
I broke through.
I broke through!
Because he inherited the family prematurely and was distracted by many things, he couldn't do anything after he reached the eighty ninth level.
He thought that he would be at this level this for life.
Actually, he also thought about that if his own strength can reach the level of Titled Douluo, would the fate of the family also change?
He has always regretted this.
But in just a short period of time.
His long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. Before he knew it, his spirit power reached level ninety.
You can break through just by eating, do you dare to believe?
As he thought about it, tears fell from the corner of his eyes.
These are tears of excitement.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yan was slightly stunned.
Has my cooking skills reached such a level?
Grand Duke of Underworld, are you moved to tears after my eating?
The sun sets in the west.
At the entrance of the small courtyard.
"Father, don't you want me come home and give the royal family an explanation?"
"Explain, what is there to explain? My Zhu family gave him a face! Qinger, you don't need to go anywhere, just take care of Mr. Lin."
The Grand Duke of Underworld shook his head like a rattle and answered her.
Why would I want you come home? Is it more important than to having opportunities you obtain here?
If she had said that before, the Grand Duke of Underworld would find things very troublesome as he didn't really want to force her.
But, it won't be troublesome anymore, after all, the one who has big fist in this world has the last word. As he reached the Titled Douluo level, it was time to reason with those who were dissatisfied.
What happened to the face of the royal family of Star Luo Empire?
In the face of benifits that is nothing.
At this time, Lin Yan acame from the backyard and handed out the basket in his hand: "It requires no preparation, it is a special product. It is absolutely green, non-toxic and harmless."
"No problem!"
The Grand Duke of Underworld took the basket and glanced at it and his heart beats wildly.
He almost knelt down to Lin Yan.
There are fresh fruits in the basket, besides that there are two bottles of water.
Suddenly, he felt the basket in his hands heavy.
These are all treasures! With these things, the family strength can definitely increase rapidly.
It will no longer be a dream to change Star Luo Empire's name and surname of the royal family!
This wave really made a lot of profit for him.
.
The man was speechless all the way, until the Grand Duke of Underworld returned to the station, he was still confused.
But soon he noticed an unusual situation.
At the station, all the teams have assembled. The four elders lined up.
"What are you doing?"
The Grand Duke of Underworld was puzzled.
"Lord patriarch. Did you come back alone? Why didn't I see the second lady?"
He looked up and saw an old man with white temples was asking him.
This old man's strength is extremely strong, he is already an eighty seventh level spirit Doulou. The fourth elder of the family.
He has been at odds with the patriarch of the family.
"With the strength of the patriarch, he shouldn't have miss her....Could it be possible that the second lady was deliberately let go?"
Another slender old man asked him. He was the sixth elder of the family. Eighty third level spirit Doulou.
He is of the same faction as the fourth elder.
"Fourth elder, sixth elder, don't talk nonsense, the patriarch is not such a person."
While some questioned the Grand Duke, some people defended the Grand Duke of Underworld.
This old man is the seventh elder at the end of the family. Eighty second level spirit Doulou.
"It is true that Qing'er did not come back with me, but it is the best choice for her to stay with Mr. Lin, and it is the most beneficial decision for the family."
The Grand Duke of Underworld stood there, with his face still.
"Mr. Lin? Is he the second lady's mysterious teacher?"
The fourth elder was a bit startled at first, and could not help but sarcastically said: "My Zhu clan and the Dai clan complement each other. Relying on the Star Luo royal family is the best interest our family needs to maintain!"
"The benefits given by the Royal Family of Star Luo are not comparable to those of Mr. Lin! And our family need not rely on others to survive."
As soon as this statement came out, the six elders became silent. The Seventh Elder nodded his head secretly.
Only the fifth elder remained silent.
But sometimes, silence is also the default meaning.
How many years have passed since there was a change in the fate of the Zhu clan and the people of the clan has been set in their ways as a supporter of the Dai clan.
Even among the family guards, many people's eyes that were looking at the Grand Duke of Underworld was no longer warm.
In their opinion, the patriarch is betraying the law for personal gain. He privately let go of his daughter because of his feelings.
It will definitely anger the Star Luo royal family, and the clan will inevitably pay a price.
This group of people has been kneeling for a long time, and now they can't even stand up...
The Grand Duke of Underworld frowned slightly. There was a hint of coldness in his heart.
"Haa, the patriarch really abandoned the family's interests for his daughter."
The fourth elder sighed.
"Hehe, I suggest that all guards must be sent to arrest Zhu Zhuqing!"
The Sixth elder took the opportunity to suppress the patriarch.
The Seventh Elder also frowned slightly. In such a situation, he had no reason to stand on the side of the patriarch.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Patriarch, you did something wrong this time. Didn't you push the family into the abyss?
"A bunch of ignorant things."
The Grand Duke of Underworld looked at everyone's expressions, and said slowly.
"Is it difficult to prove that Mr. Lin's benefits to the family are far greater than those brought by the White Tigers?"

FEBRUARY 16
NATIONAL ALMOND DAY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Almonds, a bite-sized little nut common in trail mix and other breakfast and snack recipes. More likely than not, you've tried an almond before. But, did you know there is an entire day devoted to the celebration of almonds?! National Almond Day is a reason for foodies to celebrate!
It's generally believed and agreed by historians (and food historians in particular) that almonds were one of the earliest cultivated foods by mankind. Almonds are mentioned as far back in history as the Bible! Although their first place of origin is debated, almonds were thought to have first been cultivated in China and Central Asia.
While traveling the Silk Road between Asia and the Mediterranean, explorers were said to snack on almonds during the long travel times. As explorers settled in the Mediterranean region, the trees began to grow in the area. As the trees spread throughout Europe, many of them clustered in Spain and Italy.
Almonds eventually made their journey to the United States in the mid-1700s. Historians believe they made their appearance on the trade ship brought to the US from Spain by the Franciscan Padres. The trees died out in the United States quite quickly as the soil and cultivation knowledge to keep the trees alive was inadequate. It was not until the 1800's that almond trees were successfully grown and harvested in the States. By the end of the 1800s, the Sacramento and San Joaquin areas of California became the United State's biggest almond producers.
Today, almonds symbolize a variety of things. The Bible tells the story of the rod that blossomed and bore almonds, making them a divine religious symbol. The early Romans gifted almonds to family and friends as fertility charms. These gifts were typically given at weddings. Today, sugared or frosted almonds are often given at American weddings to guests as a sign of happiness, wealth, and good fortune.
