Under the suppression of Xiao Letian's extremely stern gaze, the anger within the Chinese clan because of Zai Chun was suppressed vividly, and Zai Chun and his gang of people certainly felt hatred, but the wood was already in the boat, and the words that were said were like water spilled out.

Jae-chun simply ignored the others, just chatted with the master and the duke, and enjoyed the industrial beauty of Britain on the coastline.

Soon it was time for lunch, and the Duke of Newcastle had already heard that the Oriental envoys had brought a large team of chefs who wanted to be chefs, and they were all gods at the level of Oriental Kitchen Gods.

Three meals a day, basically two meals are rubbed Chinese meals, and the remaining breakfast is spent in semi-starvation, because they still have to make room for the remaining two meals.

After the news reached London, Benjamin and the British bigwigs all blushed at the mention of these unpromising generals.

But the telegram of reprimand was useless, and these admirals still rubbed their meals, ignoring London's orders at all, which shows how powerful the charm of Chinese food is.

He knows that if you want to promote oriental culture in Europe, it is not enough to rely on pictures and words, you must give Europeans a deep impression, a breakthrough that they have to convince.

Wouldn't it be a good stepping stone to a Chinese food festival to raise the European people's concept of the ancient Orient through food, and believe that an ancient country that can produce such a delicious food can be linked to barbarism?

Civilized countries, naturally, even the food is civilized!

What's more, by promoting food, Xiao Lotian can completely hype up the mysterious oriental spices, which is the Xiao family's heirloom recipe, the source of freshness!

Killing two birds with one stone, it is precisely because of this that Xiao Le Tiancai opened the restaurant of Zhiyuan, providing unlimited food of all kinds, and these famous chefs and imperial chefs from the East have completely nourished the appetite of these British officials.

The Duke of Newcastle was curious about why the officers of the Combined Fleet were strongly demanded in London to control themselves and not to eat Chinese every day, but why did these officers not listen?

Could it be that Chinese food really has such charm or magic? Let these gentlemen and officers not even care about their faces, and they have to eat every day? Isn't it a shame?

It is with this question in mind that the Duke of Newcastle is full of curiosity about today's luncheon.

"Your Excellency Duke, it's already noon, we have prepared some light meals, let's talk while eating......" Xiao Lotian stretched out his head to lead the way.

The Duke has long been faintly smelling the faint aroma in the cabin, and I have to say that many techniques of Chinese cooking can force more flavors of ingredients, which is much more exciting than European cuisine from an olfactory point of view.

The Duke of Newcastle subconsciously twitched his nose a few times, the smell of green onions was something he had never been exposed to in his life.

"Oh, dear Führer, is this aroma the peculiar taste of oriental cuisine? I'm really looking forward to it......

"Please ...... here" Xiao Letian led the way in front of him, and he secretly laughed in his heart that if these famous dishes I ordered can't conquer the stomachs of you Europeans, then I, a traveler, won't come in vain.

A neat bench table is covered with delicate jacquard cloths, and glittering gold and silver plates are placed on the table, with beautiful flowers in between.

The waiter, dressed in a festive Chinese red satin riding gown and with a standard smile of training, pulled out chairs for the guests, and when the Duke of Newcastle had just taken his seat, the melodious sound of a violin sounded behind a mahogany screen in the corner.

"Thank you for providing us with the ingredients, flowers, and musicians, let us drink this glass!" Xiao Lotian was the first to raise his glass.

"Cheers!" the guests and hosts exchanged wines, and the scene was cordial as if there had not been a misunderstanding.

First of all, there are 12 cold dishes and appetizers, including secret gherkins, imperial pea yellow, and Dengying beef...... Among them, the dragon and phoenix are the finale of the cold dishes.

Chinese cuisine has always paid attention to the color, flavor and taste, especially the appearance is a must, especially the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, but also the imperial chef's housekeeping skills, and the people can't even see it.

The two waiters carried a one-meter-diameter Jingdezhen disk, and the dragon and phoenix hovering on it were lifelike, and they stood directly on the plate as if they were alive.

"Oh God, is this food? Isn't this a sculpture? you make us eat a sculpture?" exclaimed the Duke first.

Xiao Lotian laughed and said, "Let our imperial chef explain it to the duke, of course this is a sculpture, but it is a sculpture that can be eaten......" After speaking, Xiao Lotian signaled to the waiter, and the waiter next to the duke took a phoenix feather with chopsticks and gently put it on the duke's plate.

Before the Duke of Newcastle could taste it, Liu Dadao cautiously bent down from the outside and walked in, and knelt down directly when he saw the big man in the room.

"Hello to Long Live Lord! Hello to Prime Minister Daran! Hello to Lord Yang! Hello to all your lords......" Liu Dadao, who was pulling a long voice, kowtowed.

"Calm down, Liu Dadao, you can introduce this dish to Lord Duke...... Xiao Letian said lightly.

"Huh!" Liu Dadao hit a thousand, and then stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen, this dish is called Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang, and the fight is knife work and seasoning......

"You see, the dragon head and the crested head are carved out of carrots, and then the beetroot is carved with the radish to carve the spine and claws......"

"The red yeast duck is roasted, the duck meat is sliced into feathers, and then the slave I personally carve out the pattern of the feathers, which is the long feather ...... of the phoenix."

"Stir-fried pork is fried and grilled until one side is white and the other is red, this is the scale of the red dragon, and the whole body of the dragon is coiled to form the main body of the red dragon......"

"Do you see the auspicious clouds below? This is the effect of the secret sauce and egg white drawn with warm oil, and the neat placement makes the dragon and phoenix feel like flying!"

The interpreter translated Liu Dadao's introduction to the Duke of Newcastle, and the more he spoke, the more the duke's mouth opened wider and wider, until at last he couldn't help blurting out, "God, what a lot of effort does this dish take?

"More than that, more than that!" Liu Dadao said proudly, "Three days, from the preparation of materials to the table, we have been busy for three days!"

"Three days, my God, are you more particular about eating than the French?" said none of the Englishmen present could believe their ears.

Note: Three more, although not a lot, but the heart is also with a sick code, it is really not easy, everyone bear with me.
