The night finally completely covered the Nagi family's house, and it was time for dinner.

Dojima Gin glanced up at Nagi Senzaemon not far away, Senzaemon nodded vaguely, so Dojima Gin lightly high-fived, and several maids who were performing a talent show in the small hall immediately stopped playing and dancing, bowed and withdrew.

"Miss Doris, please follow me. Dojima Silver took the lead in standing up and led everyone to the banquet hall.

Different from the scenery of the tea house and the tea garden just now, after Doris sat down, she looked up at the back mountain of the distant moon that could be faintly seen in the night after the sliding door, which had a magnificent and secluded beauty.

"Serve—"

Nagi Alice commanded the maids, and at the same time, three middle-aged cooks followed her into the banquet room.

Alice pointed to a middle-aged man in the middle, "Chef Akiyama, let's talk about it first, mainly to introduce which part of the dinner party you are in charge of tonight and what dishes you cooked." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone's eyes focused on this Akiyama chef, a man who did not smile, and was looked at by Dojima Silver and Senzaemon with a blank face, and said, "I'm in charge of Japanese cuisine." ”

Alice interjected: "I divided the dinner into three parts: Japanese, Western, and Combined. ”

Dojima Gin, Erina jaw head.

They know Akiyama, this is the old face of the family, and this family has a history of serving the Nagi family. Just like a new family, don't look at the reputation, but the cooking skills are very sharp.

Chef Akiyama didn't react to Alice's interjection, and when Alice finished speaking, he continued: "I prepared three Japanese dishes tonight, 'shrimp ice plate', 'game pot', and 'shojin ryori'. ”

At this time, the maid placed small bowls and pots full of large trays on the table in front of Doris one by one.

Tonight's dinner is an obvious split meal system. And they sat alone.

"Shrimp ice tray?"

Doris looked with interest at the shrimp placed side by side on an ice tray, there were three kinds of shrimp, and in the center was a small plate stacked on top of each other, which was half a lobster, and the other two kinds of shrimp, two each.

"Toyama white shrimp, Hokkaido striped shrimp. ”

"And Ise Kailao, lobster!"

Doris appropriately showed a "surprise" on her face. This is more of a polite reaction, otherwise, how can this scene continue to be performed quietly?

Chef Akiyama nodded slightly, "Toyama white shrimp, a specialty of Toyama Prefecture, is a top-notch ingredient known as the 'Jewel of Toyama Bay', and its softness and sweetness are the characteristics of this shrimp. ”

"The Hokkaido striped shrimp is the iconic product of Nofuke Bay. Although the autumn shrimp and spring shrimp of striped shrimp are the most famous, the striped shrimp in summer have no less charm and a softer taste than autumn shrimp. Ladies you should try it, this is a very standard Japanese flavor. ”

Doris listened as she peeled the shrimp and ate it.

Chef Akiyama briefly explained the third type of 'Isekai Lao' lobster, and silently stepped back to replace it with another chef.

is also a middle-aged man, the Kimura chef who is in charge of the Western food part, not to mention that his hair is combed and his beard is exquisitely groomed, and the kind smile on his face makes people think that he is a gentleman.

On the surface, it is Western food, but in fact it is a modified cuisine.

For example, an 'ice cream' in a quaint bowl has a dreamy pure white color on the table, but when you scoop it down with a spoon and eat it, you will find that it is actually just tofu.

That's right, a bowl of tofu.

Kimura himself was quite confident and satisfied with his work, and watched Doris taste it with a spoon and said with a smile: "People know that only in Kyoto can they eat authentic kaiseki cuisine, but they don't know that tofu cuisine is also Kyoto's food card." The tofu ice cream I make combines the 'deliciousness' and 'nutrition' of traditional tofu cuisine, as well as the art of Western cuisine's delicate appearance, so diners can enjoy something beyond the scope of the tip of the tongue. ”

"Not bad. ”

Doris's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then recovered, revealing a smile and commenting.

As for the 'combo' part, Japanese and Western food are combined, and Doris is allowed to be introduced by the chef, but she doesn't move her chopsticks or spoon anyway.

Nagi Alice applauded, and the third chef reluctantly retreated from the group, standing side by side with Akiyama and Kimura, and his colleagues gave him a caring look, but he couldn't open his mouth to encourage him.

"Are you not satisfied?" said Alice.

Ha. Luckily, I was able to have a clever solution. Alice praised herself, she had long expected that this dinner would not be easy.

"Very satisfied. ”

Doris replied like this, but Alice glared at her, what, this line is wrong! Shouldn't you seize the opportunity to stir up trouble and be ruthless!

The daughter of a certain king, in Alice's case, I am afraid that the label of scheming and black belly will not be washed away.

"My favorite dishes are 'Wild Meat Nabe' and 'Shojin Riori'. ”

Doris said softly: "'Game pot' is pure Japanese game, and the ingredients are matched with modern nutrition, which are high nutrition and low calories, making people feel at ease when eating." ”

"And 'Shojin Riori' ......"

Dojima Gin let out a hearty laugh on the other side, "Actually, this thing is Kyoto's vegetarian food." ”

"Vegetarian food?" Doris said suddenly, "No wonder it's a combination of vegetables, seaweed, and soy products, but when you eat it, you have a strong sense of meditation." ”

Chef Akiyama said, "That's right. There are hundreds of temples in Kyoto, and the devotees refer to the days of fasting as Shojin Days, and the dishes of these days are naturally called Shojin Ryori. There is rice, there are vegetables, there is soup, it is plain, not too much pursuit of taste and texture......"

At this point, the words stopped, and at this time, a maid came in with her head down, came to Alice's side, and whispered, Alice's depressed face was written, and suddenly it was clear, full of surprise, "Have you already brought it over?"

"Yes. ”

"Then let's serve!"

The maid answered.

At this moment, including the three chefs of the house, Dojima Gin, Doris, Erina, and Senzaemon on the seats, they were all curious about Alice's preparation.

The maid went and returned, and when she returned, she carried a wooden tray in both hands, and on the plate was a large teapot.

Nagi Alice saw the spout of the teapot, faintly bubbling, and a trace of fresh fragrance seemed to penetrate into her heart from afar, itching. The girl couldn't help but think: Sure enough, it's a Matsuba crab...... Extreme dragon chanting!

A wicked smile on his face gradually spread.

She waved her hand and asked the maid to "pour tea" for everyone at the banquet, each with transparent goblets with chopped mushrooms and piping hot white clear soup. And Dojima Gin, Nagi Kiri Senzaemon, whom Alice is particularly concerned about, is already in position, petrified, and stupid.

"Try it. ”

Alice said, as a voice came in from outside.
