Starting with electrical products, all the way to Coke Sprite, in the face of a series of new gadgets, all the guests are full of curiosity about everything in the palace, especially the Russian aristocracy who was educated to be naturally obsessed with all things Western Europe, and thirsted for these fresh, impactful items from the heart.

In comparison, this traditional state banquet, which could not be more traditional, was really lackluster for the Russian aristocracy. When it comes to food, the Germans have never been the choice of Russian gluttons.

Joey looked at the French banquet menu, written in French according to the European aristocratic tradition, listing today's appetizers, main courses, desserts and drinks.

The appetizer on the menu is a dish of boiled shrimp wrapped in fish jelly, frozen sausage-shaped gelatin, sliced before serving, and served with cold cuts of grated watercress and beaten into bean paste. The appetizer is served with a broth made from beef leg bones and defatted, and served with spinach and mushrooms.

The main course is a filet mignon with Madeira sauce and morel mushrooms, which are made from the loin of the veal's back, fried with morel mushrooms until medium-rare, and served with a Madeira sauce. The main course is served with puff pastry, which is baked with cheese and sliced potatoes, which have a crisp skin and a soft and cheesey aroma on the inside.

For dessert, it was a chocolate mousse with hazelnut cream sauce.

As for the staggering five drinks, starting with two sparkling aperitifs before the appetizer, all the way to the German red wine paired with filet mignon, and finally, a sumptuous finish with the best French Johann Josephine Cook champagne. During this period, in order to take care of the Russian guests who were addicted to alcohol, the Imperial Palace also specially prepared vodka, which is popular with Russians.

The state banquet of the Imperial Palace is the world of adults, and it has nothing to do with the children of the Imperial Palace, so before the banquet begins, Joey can only take his two younger sisters and follow the two dead friends to another restaurant of the Imperial Palace to solve his dinner problem.

As for the appetizers, main courses and desserts on the state dinner menu, in addition to the drinks, Chef Franzken was of course willing to prepare a few extra portions for this group of lovely children, and the process of serving the dishes did not need to be as step-by-step as the state banquet, and it was not long before the same food as on the state dinner menu was placed in front of the children.

Even if you can't see the specific scene of the state banquet, there are the same dishes as the state banquet, so Joey decided to complain about something and happily clean up the dinner in front of her.

In fact, there is nothing to complain about, instead of sitting at the table of the state banquet seriously, it is better to eat and drink with my sister and friends without restraint, at least Coke and Sprite can drink openly. Now even Chef Franzken is fond of Coke, and when he is free to serve food, he also holds a hypo glass full of ice cubes, and looks at the group of children with a smile.

"Jojo, this drink of yours is really good." Chef Franzken, who shook the ice cubes in his glass and took a big sip of Coke, couldn't help but exclaim, "It's hard work to be a chef, especially in the summer, it's hot and tiring, and it's really a joy to be able to drink Coke with ice." ”

"That's right, uh!" After a loud hiccup, Dreyer raised his glass and motioned to Stallin to hand him the Coke beside him, "I didn't expect the summer in Berlin to be hotter than London, if there was no Coke, I really don't know how to live?!" ”

"It's not the same." Stoling said, "By the way, Jojo, when we're done eating, should we sneak over to the armory across the street to have a look, I'm too curious about Mr. Stockch's design." ”

"Ahh Joey was just about to say yes, keenly feeling that something was watching him, and as soon as you turned your head, you saw the bright eyes of Sophie and Margaret. Joey immediately changed his words in the blink of an eye, "No, there is no punishment for sneaking out at night, and besides, there is still a bedtime story to tell about Sophie and Margaret at night." ”

Hearing Joey's statement, the two little princesses were very happy that their brother knew each other so well, and happily held Sprite with lemon and drank it sweetly. Girls still like sweet and sour tastes.

Joey's move, as sworn friends Dreyer and Stoling, immediately understood the crux of the problem.

"Dear Sophie and Margaret, we and Joey, like Harry's adventurous trio?" Dreyer asked the two little princesses unkindly.

"Oh?!" The older Sophie tilted her head and looked the three men up and down, while the younger Margaret asked quickly, "Dirk, who is Hermione among you?" ”

The three boys were completely confused by this mindless question, and after a few seconds, Dreyer pointed at the two dead friends and said, "It's them!" ”

"My brother isn't Hermione, Thomas is a man! Dirk, you're a liar! Margaret said dissatisfied.

"Dirk, do you want to be like Harry and sneak out of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and go on an adventure?" Sophie put down the Sprite cup in her hand and asked calmly like a little lady.

"Oh....." Dirk looked at his two comrades with an ugly look on his face, a look of asking for help.

"Dirk, you idiot." Stallin glared at Dreher angrily, and then said with a smile to Margaret, who had a good relationship with her, "Margaret, none of us are Hermione, I think the smart Mary is more like Hermione, right?" ”

Sophie and Margaret glanced at each other, and nodded in satisfaction at Stolin's slap on the back of her friend Mary. Stallin was about to praise his quickness when Margaret's question came again.

"Thomas, who are Sophie and I more like in the novel?"

"Of course it's my sister, it's Harry......" Storling swallowed hard what he was about to say, suddenly remembering that Harry didn't have a sister.

"It's Ron's sister, it's Ginnyle!" Dreyer immediately added, winking at Joey and Storling triumphantly, then brushing his hair with his hand and saying with a serious face, "And I'm Harry!" ”

"But Ron only has one sister, and we're two!"

"Ron and Ginneel are red-haired, and our brother and we are blonde-haired!"

Sophie and Margaret protested at the same time to Dreyer's stupid answer.

"Stupid Dirk, Harry doesn't have your round body, don't think you're from England, just take it for granted that you're Harry, I'm Harry, Joey's stupid demeanor, like Ron, it's right." Stallin retorted as well.

"Thomas, don't say Joey is stupid, we'll sue Uncle Herman!" Hearing Stoling's mantra, Sophie and Margaret were immediately upset.

Accustomed to the verbal battles of his sworn friends, Joey didn't care what Dreyer and Stoling said. To the two younger sisters vigorously defend themselves, and feel sincerely happy.

Joey reached out and touched the heads of his two sisters, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about Dirk and Thomas, you are Joey's sister, but Joey's sister, and will always be my little sister." ”

"Joey, do you want to go out with two idiots, Dirk and Thomas?" Sophie was not going to eat her brother's sugar-coated cannonballs, and asked bluntly with big eyes.

"Oh...."

"It's okay if you go out...."Margaret obviously guessed Sophie's thoughts, and immediately made conditions for her sister and herself, "but we also have to go together!" ”

In the past half a month, whether it is from his parents or from his brothers and sisters, William's youthful body, who has been constantly mentioned to the armory, has long stimulated the infinite curiosity of the two little princesses. The two little princesses would never give up the opportunity to suddenly seize the little handle of their brother and his friends and take themselves to see this magical place.

"It's okay if you don't agree, we'll go tell Mom later..."Sophie said with a straight face.

"Sophie, we're just thinking about it....." Dreyer defended with some uncertainty.

"It's a bad sign to think about," Sophie retorted confidently before picking up her glass.

"Tell .....your mother if it's bad," Margaret added, not to be outdone, looking at Stoling, who was about to stop talking, and continued to threaten, "Thomas, you just said that Joey is a fool, I remember it!" ”

"You're not going to snitch, are you?" Dreher asked unconfidently.

"Dirk, you stupid, they're all together, who do you think will denounce themselves?!" Stallin whispered.

Joey felt that his head was a little painful, looking at the helpless dead friends and high-spirited sisters, in the end, he could only nod, and the five-person adventure team of the Taigong Palace was formed.

Since they decided to take the risk, they naturally said that they would go, and after eating dessert in a hurry, the children set off directly.

The place to venture is the armory opposite the Tai Palace, and everything is simple except for the slight danger of walking through the bustling streets under the linden. Escorted by the palace attendants, the adventurous team entered the Armory Museum without incident.

It has to be said that the renovation of the Armory Museum, which was carried out in accordance with the cooperative relationship of later generations, was indeed carried out very quickly. On the floor where William was preparing for his youth party, the air conditioner had already begun to be delivered, making the five children feel an indescribable refreshment in the sultry summer night.

The room that is ready to open the youth party looks more like a music bar from Joey's previous life. When you enter the door, you will see a large bar decorated with neon lights and incandescent lights, and a tall and bright wine rack behind the bar is full of all kinds of drinks, and several handsome men and women in suits and vests who can speak multiple languages are nervously preparing cocktails.

A number of small round tables and chairs, illuminated by small lamps, were scattered in the room.

In one corner of the room, next to two green billiard tables, there are Schimmer brothers' player pianos and a Siemens box portable phonograph, and on the wall next to them hang darts-throwing target throwers.

A small stage for a performance decorated with neon lights, in the other corner of the room. On this stage, Joey sees Mr. Stockch, standing in a brass band with five black musicians.

It sounds like a few musicians are grinding into a cheerful dance tune, and the familiar melodies played by the musicians are very similar to the jazz music that Joey knew in his previous life.

But Mr. Stockch, apparently dissatisfied with the performance of the black musicians, rebuked him in a loud voice in English, "I said, I have seen your performance for a week, and your tunes change every day, can you give me the key to make sure, and don't always play as you please!" ”

"Also, you saxophone player, why do you always like to twist your body violently, I don't object to you swinging your body, but don't writhe like crazy, okay!"

"What are you laughing at, you clarinet blower too! And you clarinet player, be serious! ”

"If it weren't for someone's suggestion, I wouldn't have brought in you fellows who don't even want the orchestra, you goddamn orchestral scoundrels!" Mr. Stockier couldn't help but curse in the face of this group of free and loose black people.

And the idea of finding jazz musicians for Mr. Stockch, especially musicians who can play saxophone, clarinet and clarinet, especially black musicians, came from behind Mr. Stockch, and Joy couldn't help coughing when he saw Mr. Stockch's great anger.

Mr. Stockch, who turned his head angrily when he was disturbed, saw Joey standing in the middle of a group of children, his somewhat greasy cheeks, and his anger quickly faded, replaced by a warm smile.

"Hi Jojo!" Mr. Stosch immediately opened his arms and hurried over.
