Yes, if it weren't for the sweet and sour pork ribs that blocked the mouths of many gentlemen, otherwise many of the people present would have discussed Pimont's behavior, all in all, the gentlemen still felt that the twenty-five-year-old Governor was too unorthodox, and he was really just a twenty-five-year-old young man, not old enough......

However, it is obvious that those few have long been accustomed to the unusualness of Australians, and judging from their familiar behavior, it seems that they usually eat such "Australian buffets".

However, what surprised the gentlemen even more was that Sun Lao, this "adult" actually joined the circle of young people, and then, the "Speaker" of the Australian Federation actually talked and laughed with the young sailors and lined up to get food......

Captain Gu didn't notice the surprise of the guests, at this time he smiled and invited the governor of Bugano, brought him to a bottle that had not yet been opened, picked up a small wine glass from the table, poured a glass for the governor, and invited him to taste it.

That's right, sweet potato shochu in the fifties is like that.

Xu Zhi said in a timely manner next to him.

Gu Jin went on to say that if the gentlemen of Macao are interested in this kind of wine, we can supply it to the market in large quantities in the future.

Bugano's exclamation attracted several city councilors, and the reddish sweet potato wine bottled in old-world beer immediately attracted onlookers.

So Captain Gu and Xu Zhi took the opportunity to start pouring wine for everyone enthusiastically, and these people all smashed their mouths after tasting it and said that it was good, although there was some taste of sweet potato, but this wine was indeed very fragrant, and there was a hint of sweetness.

The most important thing is that such a high alcohol intensity is indeed very enjoyable, and everyone nodded and praised, and compared this wine with the spirits of Europeans, saying that this wine is stronger than the fruit brandy of the French and Italians, although the aroma is not as good as brandy, but it is still a good wine, in terms of its intensity, it is comparable to Nordic whiskey, and naturally, it must also be several streets away from the Caribbean specialty rum......

Of course, the businessmen with a keen sense of smell are aware of the business opportunities, and they think that the audience of this wine should be relatively wide, look at the packaging, taste the aroma, and put it on the banquet of the nobles, and if it is the intensity of its taste, it should also be the favorite of the general public and sailors, since there is a huge number of audiences, there is a huge market demand, so this business definitely has huge benefits.

Next, under the leadership of the Governor, the gentry also joined the discussion of sweet potato wine, and they gathered around Captain Gu and Xu Zhi to inquire about the supply volume and delivery time, and the atmosphere became warm again.

Of course, for gentlemen, besides the wine, the glass dishes in their hands and the food inside are the things that ultimately attract them.

Under the enthusiastic recommendation of Pimont and others, the gentlemen tasted a lot in turn, among which the more impressive ones were ham sausages, garlic sausages, Sichuan sausages, Cantonese sausages, steamed luncheon meat, dried sweet and sour pork ribs, white sugar tomatoes, canned pears with rock sugar (supermarket materials are about to expire), candied fruit (supermarkets are about to expire), spicy dried bamboo shoots (supermarkets have expired but doctors say they can be eaten) and so on.

In the end, everyone drank the tomatoes, eggs, and seaweed soup cooked by Sun Lao himself in a glass bowl.

It is said that a special seasoning is added to it, and some gentlemen scolded their own cooks after the whole dinner process, saying that the food that their chef gave me every day was simply pig and dog food! He's going to fire that cook, and he's going to hire another master!

Pimont, however, immediately came to the rescue of a certain cook, telling the gentleman that it would be useless for you to bring in the French court chef, because Australians have their own special seasonings.

For example, chili peppers, a plant that is said to be only found in the Americas, and chicken essence, which is extracted from certain foods.

There is also five-spice powder, do you know what five-spice powder is? Do you know how many spices are added to this five-spice powder?!

In the capacity of the Governor of Timor, I assure you that as soon as allspice powder appears on the market, the single spices of nutmeg and cloves, which the Dutch sell to Europeans, should be poured straight into the sea!

Yet we have allowed the Dutch to make a lot of the world's gold and silver for nutmeg and cloves!

Of course, there is also high-quality salt and sugar, gentlemen have also seen, how white the salt of the Australians is, as for the sugar, the tomatoes in your mouth are now soaked in Australian sugar, without these seasonings of the Australians, the French court chef could not make such a delicacy, and with these condiments, my lazy fat chef can also make delicious!

Gentlemen, do you think of a business opportunity here?!

Although the excited Pimont had already splashed all the spit into the bowl, everyone didn't care, and nodded in agreement, and some even thought a little further, and began to discuss whether the Dutch spice trade and the Australian spice trade were in conflict, but the discussion was interrupted by a crisp sound: a large empty plate, glass, was knocked to the ground by a young sailor, and the crystal clear glass ballast scattered.

The gentlemen were frightened, and they all knew how much a glass plate of this size was worth, and they looked at the young man who had caused the trouble, thinking that the damage he had inflicted on the captain was enough for him to be punished severely, but the jaw dropped, and the Australians, strictly speaking, only a few Australians looked back at the scene of the accident, and then went on eating, drinking, and chatting, and did not take it seriously at all!

The young man who caused the accident just cursed quietly, and then ran to the kitchen and took out a broom and dustpan to sweep the broken glass together, and then poured it into the glove bucket in the corner, and continued to eat and drink and joke with his companions.

During the whole process, Captain Gu just habitually glanced back, and actually only gave a few words and didn't say anything more.

Master Qiao next to him understood Gu Jin's words, and it was actually words such as be careful not to step on the glass, don't hurt your hands, and then turned around and continued to chat with himself!

As for the "Speaker", Mr. Sun just heard a sound and then turned his head......

For this reason, the gentry of Macao present only came to one conclusion, that is: Australians are simply rich, and they don't care about this property loss - even glassware worth tens or hundreds of taels of silver!

What they didn't expect was that the reason why this group of people didn't care was because glassware was not worth anything in their eyes, yes, these gentlemen really couldn't think like that, in this era, glassware and the word "worthless" were not linked at all.

At the end of the luncheon, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, catalyzed by sweet potato spirits, and finally reached the most **: every guest in the restaurant was given a set of glass barware.

The gentry were excited, so at the suggestion of Governor Bugano, the councillors unanimously passed a resolution to confer honorary titles on all crew members of the Australian federal fleet, and to confer on Sun Lao and Captain Gu the titles of honorary members of the city council.

The Governor of Bugano also announced on the spot that the entire crew of the fleet would have all the trade privileges and permanent residency rights equivalent to those of the Portuguese parliamentarians of the Port of Macau.

Governor Bugano also invited Mr. Sun to the city council to give a speech on "open doors" – a topic that Mr. Sun had been talking about with the gentry of Macau.

Obviously, Governor Bugano was very interested in the words of the "Speaker General": "The door is open, and the interests are equal......

After the dinner, Mr. Sun happily accepted Governor Bugano's invitation to speak at the City Council.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the dinner party finally ended successfully, and after several turns, Captain Sun Laogu, Dr. Xu Zhizhu, and Li Junming boarded several luxury four-wheeled carriages parked on the side of the Pride board.

Elder Sun was going to give a speech entitled "Open Doors and Equal Opportunities" at the Macau City Council, to the audience of all the city councillors, the Governor of Bugano, and his officials of Macau, as well as the Governor of Pimont and his three captains, and, of course, the honorable Lady Margaret, Miss Zezilia Henk, and the captains of the Honorable Duchess.
