Yuan Niangzi now has a skillful banquet management skills, Meng Yue only said that he would entertain distinguished guests at noon today, and then explain that the distinguished guests do not like to be too spicy, like sour mouth, like beautiful and delicate plating, Yuan Niangzi knows what kind of dishes to cook. Considering the dining habits of foreigners, Meng Yue also used a separate meal system, each dish is a small plate per person, a large plate is spread on the table, the small plate is placed on the large plate, the left side is placed on the large and small soup spoons, and the right is not placed with chopsticks.

Although Louis XIV also thought that the food of Daming tasted good, if it was really delicious, Louis XIV had only seen Philippe, who did not care about his grandson. France is also known for its food, and Louis XIV did not think that the food of Daming was much better than that of France, until Louis XIV tasted the dishes of the Loon Lake.

The menu ordered by Meng Yue could not be more in line with the taste of foreigners, not only with the proven sweet and sour, but also the dishes of various cuisines with sour, spicy, fresh and sweet, and rich sauces. Yuan Niangzi can be regarded as going south and north, entertaining a lot of diners, all kinds of specifications, the noon banquet not only Louis XIV ate very satisfied, the entourage was full, and even Philip, who was already well versed in the beauty of Ming cuisine, was dumped again.

"Mrs. Meng, I think you have been perfunctory to me before, and you said that you were a friend. ”

Meng Yue: Thank you, I said a long time ago that we should not be friends.

"Be content, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eating at my house, and it is not as high as yours. "Because Emperor Xuanqing has told her that there is no need to entertain her, let Zhu Zaiyou eat whatever she eats. You must know that her family eats at home, and she has always been very simple and down-to-earth.

Philip: "No, no, no, don't say that, I won't dare to come to your house for dinner in the future." ”

Louis XIV took a short walk after dinner before coming to drink tea, the black tea specially prepared by Mengyo, boiled with honey-pickled lemon and various fruits, boiled with a rich fruity aroma, mellow taste, and a distinct tea taste. Louis XIV, although he never showed a very obvious preference, according to Philippe, ate more than usual and clearly enjoyed tea.

After Louis XIV thanked him, he changed his words: "I hereby solemnly entrust Philippe to you, Yu Daming, he is an outsider after all, he is not familiar with life, he still has a long life ......"

When Philippe translated this, he instantly blew up and began to fight French with his grandfather. Meng Yo didn't know French, but Philippe often had French greetings, and she was familiar with the greetings, but she couldn't understand anything else.

When the grandfather and grandson were speaking French, Meng Yue was confused on the side and looked at the retinue, but the retinue didn't care about her at this time, and patronized the grandparents and grandchildren. After the grandfather and grandson finished speaking, Philip said to Meng Yue with tears and laughter: "Grandfather misunderstood me and you...... Ahem, don't get me wrong, my ideal person is a girl who is a good cook. ”

Meng Yue: "Don't worry, I will never misunderstand, I am very convinced that if Yuan Niangzi is twenty years younger, you will not hesitate to pursue her." ”

This kind of pursuit is the kind that doesn't matter if the other party has an object or not, yes, Philip is so undisciplined!

Philip breathed a sigh of relief, he was now very familiar with the customs of Daming, so he knew that once a misunderstanding occurred, let alone come to Yanghuyuan for dinner in the future, it was best to avoid ten miles away when he saw Meng Yue: "I have explained to my grandfather that he will not misunderstand again, Mrs. Meng, I'm sorry, I'm too anxious, if there is any rudeness, please bear with me." ”

Meng Yue couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, I think that Grandfather Ling is also worried about you, afraid that you will be far away from your homeland and have nothing to rely on, and afraid that you will not be able to take care of you when you have something." In fact, you should tell your grandfather directly what kind of girl you like, and show that you will definitely find a partner who will stay with you for life, and ask him not to worry. In addition, as your friends, we will not sit idly by when you encounter difficulties. ”

In addition to food, Philip also likes Mingren's universal morality of making promises, being anxious about people's difficulties, and helping people's dangers: "Thank you." ”

Louis XIV finally expressed his gratitude and apologies to Méjoux, and when he left, Louis XIV gave Méjoux a case of cherished champagne. Meng Yue's eyes lit up immediately after receiving it, she loves champagne so much, among all the wines, only champagne is her true love!

When Wang Li came back, Meng Yue had already drunk half a bottle, yawning drunkly, and the unique fruity sweetness of champagne: "Senior brother, you are back, come and taste the champagne, given by Philip's grandfather, and they had a meal in Yanghu Garden at noon." ”

"Aren't you drunk today?"

"The champagne is so low that I can't get drunk for a while, and unless I drink it all dry, I might get drunk. Meng Yue said and giggled, she can be regarded as a wine tested, Daming's wine has Taizu hanging on, the degree is really high, and the wine base she uses to make flower wine is less than thirty degrees.

When Wang Li helped Meng Yue, he reacted: "Philippe's grandfather, Louis XIV?"

Meng Yue nodded: "Mmmmmmmm ”

Wang Li looked at Meng Yue, who was not drunk, but somewhat drunk, and seemed to be drunk when he was not drunk: "Every year, you are not lightly frightened, so you drink to suppress the shock?"

"No, I like champagne, it's as sweet as juice, it's not spicy at all. After Meng Yue finished speaking, he continued to pour himself wine.

Seeing her like this, Wang Li didn't dare to let her drink it anymore, and asked someone to mix the sherbet with honey for Meng Yue, Meng Yue drank two bowls in a row and burped, and finally couldn't drink it anymore: "You lie down for a while, and I'll pick up Ah Yu and Ah Xu back." ”

"Well, I want to eat the sauce elbow from West Street. ”

"I've picked up Ah Yu and Ah Xu and I'm back to bring it to you. ”

After Wang Li left, Meng Yue seemed to feel that he had forgotten something, and pondered for a while before remembering: "Why didn't Boss He come?"

Boss He didn't miss the appointment, he especially wanted to come, but something happened to the printing shop, and the newly carved version was burned clean. When Boss He remembered that he had made an appointment to go to Yanghu Park and then order someone to deliver the letter, it was almost dusk, and Meng Yue's wine was almost awake, and he was stunned when he received the news: "How could it catch fire, man-made or accidental?"

"I don't know at this time, the official of Jinan Mansion has passed, and he is investigating it now. ”

"The engraving masters are all good, right?" The engraving is burned, the bookstore is burned down, and it doesn't matter if the people are still there.

"The masters are fine, it's just that the manuscript that was printed yesterday is all burned down. This issue of "Murder Hunting" must be postponed, but fortunately, the picture book of "Kung Fu Panda" was shipped yesterday, otherwise the loss would be heavier. ”

Meng Yue thought about it, asked the servant to see if there was anything that could help, and gave Boss He a few hundred taels of shock.

The results of this matter did not come out until the next morning, but before the results came out, there were already a lot of rumors in Manjinan. Legend has it that the fire was caused by electricity, and all of a sudden, the hydropower station that had already been selected for construction was surrounded by people.

Meng Yue couldn't help but have a bit of a conspiracy theory, burning the bookstore was a conspiracy, and encircling the hydropower station was even more of a conspiracy.

There's no way, foreigners know that the Ming people are good at strategy.
