Chapter 0074: Ice Cream in the Limelight
"Ice cream, what's that dessert?"
As a girl, when the ice cream came out of Carter's mouth, Li Vera immediately noticed it and asked, "Is it a dessert made of ice?"
Carter motioned for the valet to go to the kitchen to serve ice cream, and then explained to everyone: "Ice cream is a very delicious frozen delicacy, a specialty of the kitchen of Flower Town Castle, a unique recipe to cool off the summer heat and an excellent dessert to accompany food. A great idea that came up with the old man. ”
"Sounds like some kind of frozen cheese. Mrs. Penelope was a little disgusted, "I don't like cheese, it makes me sick and vomit all afternoon." ”
Levi shrugged his shoulders: "I don't like cheese either, maybe you can give me a glass of frozen juice." ”
"Ice cream is not cheese, try it later, I'm sure you'll love the charm of ice cream, it's a very tempting delicacy. Liszt said lightly.
"You still have a knack for food?" asked Madame Marry, smiling, "and I must taste the dessert made by a nobleman." ”
Originally, the Count was just eating the roast meat on his plate.
Hearing Madame Mary's words, his face suddenly became slightly gloomy, and his tone became serious: "Liszt, you have reached adulthood and divided the seal, developing Flower Town and achieving knightly glory is what you should do." Instead of focusing on food, it is degrading to the aristocratic etiquette, the kitchen, is the place where servants should go!"
The aristocracy would never enter the kitchen, because that was where the inferior people stayed.
Liszt took a sip of a cold beer, not paying attention to the earl's scolding: "Father, ice cream is just an idea, and Mrs. Abbey makes ice cream according to this idea. And I, as an aristocrat, just need to taste it and make suggestions on the taste. ”
As he spoke, he smiled at Mrs. Marry, "If you like it later, you can praise Mrs. Abi, she is a diligent and attentive cook." ”
"I'd love to. Marry smiled.
Then he lowered his head, cut the seafood on the plate, and his smile quickly faded.
In just a few words, the valets had already put cups and cups of colorful ice cream on their plates, came behind the nobles one by one, and put the ice cream on the table.
The cup is a precious crystal cup, the crystal is often the associated ore of the dragon gemstone, some of the quality has magic, can be used to make lamps, the quality is poor and there is no magic, often made into a variety of crystal vessels, become a symbol of noble status, power, wealth.
There are twenty crystal goblets in the castle.
It was originally used to serve red wine at banquets, but now it is used to serve ice cream.
"Well, is this ice cream, it's beautiful and it tastes good. Livira picked up the ice cream cup and looked through it, and there were three round balls in the cup.
One pink, one yellow, one green.
There are also two small purple wild fruits on top.
She looked at Levi's cup next to her, which also contained three balls, but pale yellow, pink, and dark brown.
Basically, there are only four colors: pink, yellow, green, and brown.
It's just that the round balls in each person's cup have different color combinations.
Carter said elegantly: "Ladies and gentlemen, young masters, and young ladies, there are four flavors of ice cream, pink is strawberry, pale yellow banana, pale green is matcha, and dark brown is chocolate. Depending on your taste, you can choose from a variety of ice creams. ”
"It's cold. Captain Mickey took the cup, not in a hurry to taste it, but asked curiously, "Liszt, are they made of ice, if I'm not mistaken, there is no ice cellar in Flower Town." Forgive my curiosity, I don't understand how ice cream is made. ”
"It's true that there are no ice cellars in Flower Town, but that doesn't mean there is no ice. Liszt looked at everyone's curious eyes, and did not conceal it, "I found a very small saltpeter mine in the town, and I remember reading a knight's novel, saltpeter can be used to make ice, so there is ice in Flower Town." ”
"Saltpeter, ice-making?" the Count looked at Liszt, who was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and couldn't help asking, "Is this a magician's method?"
"Magicians can make ice directly, but saltpeter ice is a ...... Natural phenomenon. Saltpeter dissolves in water and absorbs heat, turning water into ice. ”
"Magical saltpeter, can I see it?"
"Of course you can, but I'm afraid it won't work today, the saltpeter has run out. It takes too much saltpeter to turn a little bit of water into ice, and there is only one ultra-small saltpeter mine in Flower Town, which drains all the saltpeter, and can't make two buckets of ice in a day. ”
Captain Mikey sighed, "That's a pity. ”
Li Vera said directly: "Liszt, give me a bucket of saltpeter for water, and I will give you gold coins!"
"Let's try the ice cream if it suits the taste, sister. Liszt bluntly changed the topic, this sister has been addicted to snatching his toys since she was a child, and she wants all kinds of good things.
Livira glared at Liszt.
This younger brother, who could be bullied since childhood, has grown up to ignore her.
"Even if you can only make two buckets of ice a day, that's amazing, and the Tulip Castle can't open an ice cellar every day to get ice, and ice in the summer is more expensive than gold coins. "My dear, saltpeter may be able to grow into an industry, you know, the nobles are always watching our ice cellars in the summer. ”
The Count scooped out a scoop of ice cream with a spoon and said without raising his head: "Saltpeter is magical, but two buckets of ice a day are only enough for Liszt's own use, and are of little value." ”
As he spoke, he took a bite of the chocolate-flavored ice cream, and his eyes lit up: "It's a unique taste." ”
Levi said: "It's really delicious, it's called ice cream, I like this strawberry flavored ice cream, it's creamy compared to frozen cheese, but it's not so sweet, it's softer to bite into, and it melts in your mouth." ”
"I prefer the matcha flavor. "Livera has eaten the pale green matcha-flavored ice cream ball.
"A good dessert after dinner, especially after a summer feast. Captain Mickey commented.
A delicious ice cream that conquers everyone's taste buds in an instant.
Only one person at the table shook his head, it was Mrs. Penelope: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not used to it, it doesn't look like a food at all, Mr. Carter, change me to a glass of rock syrup." ”
"Doesn't Grandmother like it, I like it, Mr. Carter, bring me another cup of ice cream, I want chocolate and banana flavored ice cream. "Litton had already eaten a cup of ice cream.
......
Ice cream is just an after-dinner dessert.
Liszt "invented" it just to get ice to beat the heat in the summer - it is impossible to drink cold beer all day long, but you can eat ice cream all day long.
But at today's banquet, ice cream was in the limelight.
Except for Mrs. Penelope, and the not-so-enthusiastic Captain and Count Mickey, the rest of the people were conquered by ice cream.
Mrs. Abi's four portions of ice cream were eaten up.
Finally, the luncheon ends with a delicious ice cream.
Busy directing the servants to clean up the mess, Carter straightened his chest, his nervousness was completely relieved, and he met the deputy butler Silva in the aisle, and he smiled brightly: "Mr. Silva, thank you Lord Earl for the food, the luncheon is very enjoyable." ”
