Chapter 51: Magical Cuisine

Today's capital is extremely lively, the cavalry general Shen Shuo returned victoriously, Goguryeo disturbed the border, this Shen Shuo led the troops, directly to the gate of the capital of Goguryeo, that is the scenery of harmony? Don't say that a war of aggression is unjust, how can it still be celebrated, the generals of their country defeated the Goguryeo army, for them, ordinary people, this is a sense of security slowly!

"Did you hear that? Shen Shuo, the seventh prince, led Tie Xiao back to Beijing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Yes! This is really a long face for our Celestial Empire, I heard that the Seventh Prince only brought more than 10,000 horses, and he beat the entire Goguryeo to the ground. ”

"What a majesty!" That's what everyone on the street was talking about.

But in the past few days, the bustle on the street has not made Li Xiaoyu's business in the store better, and Qingluo, who is in charge of reception in the store, looks at the people on the street with a sad face.

"Qingluo, what are you doing?" Li Xiaoyu looked at Qingluo, and Qingluo put on a happy look.

"Miss, the Seventh Prince is coming back, you played best with him when you were a child." Qingluo said, wiped the table twice, and at this time, two people actually came outside.

One of them was wearing a white fur coat outside, and the inside was a wide-sleeved silk embroidered coat, dressed as a scholar, but this person looked extremely strange, this person was blonde and blue-eyed, with an extremely high chin, and he spoke Chinese with an extremely jerky feeling, this man just entered the store, and asked with a smile, "This store is so decorated, Sixth Master, why did you invite me to eat here?" ”

And the one next to him was the richest man in the capital, Shen Xiao glanced at him with a smile and said, "This store is not ordinary, haven't you always thought about the life that the Shen family's royal family wants to live?" Today, I will bring you here to taste the most peculiar food in the capital. ”

"The sixth master is here!" Qingluo said with a smile, and then took the newly hired maid in the store and helped the two take off their fox fur coats. Then he brought hot water and towels to help the two of them wipe their hands. This is all trained by Li Xiaoyu in advance, Shen Xiao looked at these smiling and very sunny maids and couldn't help but sigh Why Li Xiaoyu has such means, but he can't settle his eighth brother?

Li Xiaoyu was wearing a white chef's uniform, slowly walked out of the back kitchen, and looked at Shen Xiao, "Why is the sixth brother so leisurely today, come to me." ”

"Haha, the last time I had a meal here, but I remember it deeply, this time I brought my business partner, the Roman nobleman Gaius? He stayed in Chang'an City for seven days, and I took him to change a few delicacies to eat. ”

"Gaius?" Li Xiaoyu muttered to himself.

"Why, isn't that a strange name?" Shen Xiao said funny, while Li Xiaoyu was bright-eyed, and said in French plainly, "bonjour, C'estbienpasse, levoyage?" (Hello, did the trip go well?) )”

As soon as Li Xiaoyu's words came out, Gaius looked at Li Xiaoyu with a confused expression. The language of ancient Rome is Latin, which is the ancestor of the modern Romance languages. Now Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian are based on it. As a Roman nobleman and a merchant, Li Xiaoyu guessed that Gaius should have understood a little modern French.

"My lord~, dear miss, have you been to our Western Roman Empire?" Gaius came to the East to meet the emperor and to trade some of the luxuries he had brought from the West for silk, tea, and spices.

"I haven't been there, but I speak some of the languages of Gaul."

After Li Xiaoyu finished speaking, he handed over the menu very elegantly, Shen Xiao looked at the very beautifully designed menu and the names of the dishes written on it, Shen Xiao found that most of his self, who was known as a glutton, had never eaten most of them. He simply pretended to be very familiar, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yu, you can watch it, try to suit the taste of Gaius, you can speak foreign words, then you must also understand their Roman tastes." ”

"Sixth master, my price is not cheap, you invited this distant visitor to us, it is really a bloody investment!" Li Xiaoyu said generously and said in French: "Her shop is the most expensive store in the capital, and Shen Liuye has invested enough money to receive Gaius. ”

There is still a gap between ancient Chinese and French, Li Xiaoyu changed a few words, and said them to Gaius one by one, and he understood.

Looking at the temporary starters in the back kitchen, Li Xiaoyu still misses the cooks in Ande Wangfu's "capers and eggplant toast, garlic oysters, black mountain pork belly salad, seafood and asparagus stew, don't make desserts first, look at what they eat." ”

After Li Xiaoyu finished speaking, the few people began to side dishes, Li Xiaoyu is also extremely quick, it seems that the tableware around can't help but be a little dissatisfied, these tableware are used to load, it is really a bit nondescript. Forget it, I'm going to buy some cutlery another day!

Shen Xiao and Nagaius did not sit still, discussing business while discussing the etiquette that should be paid attention to when meeting the emperor. And not long after, Hu Zhenyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, actually came to the store, and looked at the decoration of the store, and couldn't help but sigh again and again.

"This store is really unique in design, it's really good to meet the envoy of Fanbang, you have a heart, sixth master." After Hu Zhenyuan finished speaking, he arched his hand again.

"Hu Shangshu doesn't have to be like this, it's also my luck to be able to do things for the country, after all, my surname is Shen, isn't it?" Half-joking, Shen Xiao held Hu Zhenyuan's hand with a smile, looking quite sincere, and he was really born to do big business.

During the conversation, Qingluo brought the appetizer capers and eggplant toast to these people, and when they saw this appetizer, Gaius's hand actually trembled a little, and the spoon in his hand kept trembling.

"Cover the foreign envoy! What happened to you? The dish does not fit well or the body is not well. "Hu Zhenyuan is a lot older, but he still attaches great importance to this young man.

"Whew~ I'm homesick!"
