Chapter 105: The Night of Twilight I

Without Chef Franzken's Imperial Dinner, a purely German dinner can only be described as a large amount of food.

According to the most solemn meal in Germany, the appetizer is a platter of french fries with currywursurst, and the fried golden fries are served with a red curry-flavored sausage, which makes a large table of people happy.

Raeder secretly touched Joey's arm, raised his chin at the old prime minister sitting at the far end of the dining table, and asked in a low voice, "Before coming to Germany, the British newspapers often said that he often abused Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and today it doesn't look like it." ”

"Dirk, the English newspaper you read is the tabloid on Fleet Street." After Joey swallowed the delicious currywurst in his stomach, he asked in an angry whisper.

"Not really, as the serious newspapers often say." Dreyer continued to explain in a low voice.

Joey looked at the old prime minister who was talking happily with his parents in the distance, and said in his heart, "If I hadn't come back early in the afternoon, I wouldn't have known that the old prime minister and my mother had such a serious conflict in concepts, but fortunately, everyone is an adult, even if there is a conflict in concepts, but they still know how to cooperate and compromise." ”

Looking at the curious dead friend, Joey thought for a while and said indifferently, "You also saw it, isn't it good." Newspapers, not to write the headline alarmist, how to attract customers. ”

Dreyer thought for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, nodded and said, "Yes." Jojo, have you written the previous story of that magical magic boy? ”

After seeing Joey's nod, Dreyer egged, "I said, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that you, a German, could describe London so vividly, aren't you going to serialize it in the newspaper?" ”

"Publish a book, publish a book!" Stallin stretched his head anxiously and interrupted in a low voice.

"Jojo, I even thought of the name of the book, Murder on a Rainy Night, the subtitle is, the bloody real murderer of the serial murders on a rainy night in London 11 years ago, and the victim's son is facing the threat of death again....."

Joey ignored Dreyer's greasy mouth and covered his mouth with his hand.

"WTF, this is also called the title of the book, this is obviously the style of London tabloid and stall literature, this kind of title, are you going to not let me live?!" Joey whispered angrily to Dreyer.

"I just think it's scary enough to draw readers." Dreyer finally removed the hand covering his mouth and explained aggrievedly.

"My book is for my peers, our age, 11-year-olds!" Joey angrily said at Dreyer, "Dirk, are you going to show an 11-year-old to watch a bloody murder?!" ”

"Oh, it's very common in England, what a serial shreddling of corpses, what a cannibalism......." Dreyer began to describe the bizarre stories he had seen in the London newspapers.

"Jojo, I also have a name, it's called Baby Killer! What do you think? Even Stolin didn't think it was a big deal, and interjected with another name.

"Shut up, don't even think about it!" Joey refused in a low and strong voice.

"Don't use these names in this book!" Joey looked at the two dead friends, said with an unusually ugly face, and said in his heart, "Not only can't you publish books, but you also have to tell your father and godfather that you have to let these magazines be graded, and you can't let children read all the things that are adult!" It's actually called Murder on a Rainy Night, and what a baby killer, it's really an unacceptable bastard book title! ”

"Why, such a beautiful thing, is it not published in a book?" Storling looked surprised.

"Well, if you don't like our name, you can write a book according to the name you wrote on the letter to Mary." Dreyer said.

"Dirk, you're actually peeking at my letter?" Joey said angrily.

"No, Margaret told me!" Dreyer said confidently, "Anyway, why don't you publish a book?" ”

"Because it's copied!" In desperation, Joey almost blurted out this reason, and then held back and gave another excuse, "This is a love letter, who have you seen publish love letters!" ”

"Oh....." Dreyer and Stoling looked at each other and blurted out, "Lovers, friends and friends!" ”

At this moment, the waiter served the staple food of the day, and when he saw the staple food coming up, Joey whispered, "Eat first." ”

Tonight's staple dish is the roast beef roll, which is a main dish of veal sliced and beaten flat, sprinkled with salt, pepper, mustard and onion, rolled up with strings, fried in a pan, and then baked in the oven for half an hour. It is also a standard main course for German daughters-in-law who must be able to cook for formal dinners.

This dish is very German, and even Crown Princess Victoria made a point of emphasizing that this dish was made under her own direction.

Generally speaking, aristocratic women rarely say that they are involved in the preparation of meals, which is usually the work of lady-in-waiting, but today Crown Princess Victoria clearly means something, and the old prime minister of the party also praises this main dish at the table for the first time.

The reasons behind the above two practices that do not conform to aristocratic table manners are also known to only a few people.

As soon as the main course was served, Joey ignored the taunts of the two sworn friends, lowered his head and ate to himself.

"Jojo, aren't you really going to publish?" Dreyer asked again without giving up, and Joey continued to shake his head with his mouth full of oil.

"If it doesn't get published, can I show your book to GΓΌntle and William?" Storin thought about his friends and persistently asked.

"Uh....." Joey felt that the beef just now seemed to be stuck in his throat, and looked at the two obviously ill-intentioned friends, knowing that if he refused, the nickname "braggart" would probably have to be followed by a series of affixes.

After taking a sip of juice, Joey, after carefully weighing the importance of reputation and fiction, reluctantly agreed that the two sworn friends would show the manuscripts they had written to his other two sworn friends.

"But you can't show it to anyone else!" Joey added a sentence without giving up.

"Probably Achim, Hoffman, and Amni, can't they either?" Dreyer asked, surprised, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him. Don't have to guess Joey, the next sworn friends of the Berlin Military Academy will also see this novel soon.

Joey shook his head painfully, who does the sky spare!

"Hehe, this is Jojo's love letter!" Stallin winked at Dreyer, "Would you like to talk to Mr. Parsons, I think Mr. Parsons might be able to write a book." ”

"Shut up!" Joey and Dreyer spewed angrily at Stolin.

"It's not easy for Mr. Parsons to concentrate on the speedboat pursuit of Teacher Elizabeth, Thomas, you idiot didn't come up with this idea!" Joey said angrily.

Amid the noise of the three children, followed by the main course, a simple potato salad and Baumku, which the old prime minister liked to eat, were served.

Baumkuchen had just baked marks and was apparently added to today's dinner. Everyone knows that the old prime minister Bismarck is obsessed with Baumkuchen to the point of being obsessed, so this cake carries a trace of kindness released by the princess to the old prime minister.

The old prime minister, who reciprocated the favor, immediately complimented the mistress of the palace again, Crown Princess Victoria.

At this point, the official dinner of the entire Tai Womb ended.

A simple German dinner is simple and delicious in the hearts of Joey and the children, while the adults in Germany pay more attention to the exchange of ideas after dinner than to what they eat for dinner.

After dinner, Crown Prince Frederick and Chancellor Bismarck soon returned to Crown Prince Frederick's study.

According to her mother's request, Joey told her sisters and two friends the magic story of Wonder Boy in the playroom of her two sisters, as usual, and was interrupted again by the sudden appearance of Princess Victoria before she was halfway through the story of a chapter.

"Jojo, your father told you to go to the study to see him as soon as possible."

Amid the protests of his sisters and his friends, Joey had no choice but to leave for his father's study. Before leaving, Joey asked the crown princess, "Mom, is the prime minister gone?" ”

"No, your father and the prime minister are waiting for you."

Hearing this, Joey was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, "Wait for me?" Is it what I told my father last night? ”

The study soon arrived, pushing the door into a thick smoke of cigar smoke, the old prime minister was swallowing clouds and spitting smoke on the sofa, looking at this scene, Joey's face changed first, and he didn't say hello first, he ran directly to the window and pushed open the window first.

Then, he took out the "Do Not Smoking" sign made by himself on his father's desk, and then stared at the old prime minister with an innocent look.

The old prime minister looked at the innocent Joey, and then at the crown prince with a helpless expression, so he had to gently place his beloved Upman cigar on the ashtray and let it go out by himself. In the interval between the cigar smoke, the old prime minister sighed secretly in his heart, "Alas, this family is not easy to mess with." ”

The night breeze of late spring quickly carried away the smoke, and the scent of blue cornflowers wrapped in a faint night breeze mist could even be smelled in the Tai Womb, near the Spree River.

The atmosphere of late spring and early summer at night is intoxicating.

After being speechless for a while, Crown Prince Frederick suddenly spoke, "Your Royal Highness, the smell of flowers tonight is so intoxicating, why don't we go and sit down in the courtyard, and by the way, you can continue to enjoy your cigars." ”

Faced with the crown prince's proposal, the old prime minister smiled, picked up the cigar on the table, and took the lead out of the room.

In the pavilion near the River Spree, and then by the light of kerosene lamps, Joey had the first opportunity to chat face-to-face with the famous Chancellor in German history, so that Joey's hands were sweating with nervousness and excitement.

The topic of conversation between the three of them began with the huge plan that Joey had outlined to his father last night, and Joey's plan began with the following questions to his father last night.

1. In the South Pacific War, what kind of economic opportunities could Germany's position bring to itself?

2. In the East Asian crisis, how to maximize Germany's economic interests again.

3. How to hit the French economy again in the above-mentioned wars and crises.

4. The role that the Russian pro-German faction could play in the German economy in the above-mentioned wars and crises.

5. Under the policy of glorious isolation of the British, how to get more economic benefits for Germany from Britain.

In short, all the questions focused on what economic benefits Germany could get from it, and the starting point of everything revolved around money.
