CHAPTER XXIV

At first, they just dipped their fingers in a little sauce and stuffed it into their mouths, and soon they followed the example of those nobles with chopped fish and chips dipped in the sauce and stuffed it into their mouths, and the next moment, they couldn't wait to grab a piece of fried fish with their hands and press it into the sauce plate, dip it in the sauce repeatedly, and then stuff it into their mouths vigorously, almost swallowing it directly, because of the sweet and sour feeling that directly hit the taste buds, they almost forgot the fact that they had just eaten enough.

In fact, the winner is decided now. There is no need to trouble the two bigwigs to host at all! Just the situation on the tasting tables on both sides is already clear at a glance, only one of the tasting basins of the Luther Chamber of Commerce has bottomed out, and the few tasting plates on the side of the sailor's tavern only have a shiny surface left, and there is nothing left, and those civilian children have not forgotten to use their tongues to go to the red sauce in the **** small plate, for fear that they will never be able to eat it again after this time.

If it's just that the commoner representatives are a little exaggerated, forget it, the 8 aristocratic representatives are also very embarrassed, staring at Chef Bayard one by one, and can't stop **** the sauce sticking to the upper and lower lips, and it seems that there is still something unfinished.

At this time, let alone Captain Luther, even Governor Royo's face turned iron-blue. Greed has doomed him to a path of no return. He was already secretly preparing to give up this guy Luthor in his heart, and at the same time, he also had some resentment towards the few aristocratic representatives he personally selected, these people had promised him before, and they would definitely support the Luthor Chamber of Commerce without any leeway, but now? Everything has come to a 180-degree reversal, and looking at the performance of those aristocratic representatives, they are completely out of control.

"Governor Royo, the situation on both sides is clear now, right?" Bishop William looked triumphantly at Governor Royo, who had an unkind face, and said, "Since the new bet has been confirmed before, then, I hereby announce...!" ”

"Wait!" Captain Luthor suddenly interrupted Bishop William, and couldn't wait to rush in the direction of the sailor's tavern, snatched the plate that still had a small half of the sauce left in front of a nobleman, dipped a little of the remaining sauce directly with his fingers, and stuffed it into his mouth, "I suspect that the sailor's tavern has added something strange to the sauce that the delegates eat, I hope the sailor's tavern can publish the recipe for these sauces, so that everyone can judge together!" ”

This kind of request is already quite shameless, you have pirated other people's ideas, and now you want to use this despicable means to obtain the recipe of someone else's secret sauce. There must be a limit to how shameless people are!

"For the sake of everyone's health, I think Luthor's request is very reasonable!" Governor Royo seemed to have picked up a life-saving straw, preparing to go all the way to the dark, he was not a stupid person, and he understood at a glance that the reason why the Sailor's Tavern would win so completely was undoubtedly due to this secret sauce. As long as you can know the recipe of the secret sauce, it is equivalent to a corner of the mountain of gold is already in your pocket.

"Shameless!" Murong Tao couldn't help but scold, "I originally thought that the Governor of Cherbourg Port should be a sensible person, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!" ”

"You... Licentious! Governor Royo was annoyed and said, "Come, bring these daring fellows back for me, and I will interrogate them myself!" ”

"Yes!" A group of city guards immediately surrounded the sailor's tavern and the others, the weapons in their hands flashed cold, and a knight who seemed to be a commander stepped forward and threatened, "Don't think about resisting, just take your hands down!" ”

"That's right, that's right, Lord Governor, these guys must have put something strange in those sauces to interfere with the outcome of the game, and I think it's absolutely necessary to bring these people back and torture them, and I will definitely be able to ask about the conspiracy!" Luthor saw that Governor Royo had directly let go of the arrest, and he was agitating vigorously on the side.

None of the onlookers or nobles dared to step forward, as if this had happened many times in the port of Cherbourg, and no one would offend the governor of the port for the safety of some insignificant people.

"Governor Royo, is there something wrong with you doing this?" Bishop William didn't want to get involved in these worldly things, but seeing that the duck in his hand was about to fly into Royo's mouth, he was unwilling, to say that these city guards who only knew how to bully the common people were really not a little bit behind the Knights Templar under his command.

"Bishop William, this is a matter of security in Cherbourg Harbor, and it doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of your diocese, right?" Now that the decision has been made, even if Bishop William tears his face with himself now, even if he is criticized, Paris will not be able to grasp his handle, and when he solves the ownership of this "golden mountain", when the time comes, he will bribe the profits he earns to those big nobles in Paris, and no one will pay attention to his own matter of this acre and three points of land.

"Oh, as long as you are a believer in God, you are under the jurisdiction of the diocese." Bishop William was not going to compromise because of a few words from Governor Royo, and it was clear that the matter had dragged on for a long time, and it was not a good thing for Governor Royo's reputation.

"Since Lord Bishop doesn't plan to give Royo face, then Royo can only say I'm sorry!" Governor Royo said frantically, "Whoever comes, if anyone dares to interfere, there will be no mercy!" ”

"Knights Templar, array!" Bishop William didn't show weakness at all, "If you really want to fight to the death, these waste city guards of yours are useless!" ”

Royo secretly hated that Bishop William's words were not wrong at all, because in peacetime, these city guards had long been allowed to exist in name only, and if they were really attacked by pirates, these city guards would probably be the first to escape. However, now that the knife is clamped to the neck, wealth and wealth are in danger, as long as the parish is suppressed in terms of momentum and numbers, basically this matter is won by the governor of Royo.

Just as the two sides were facing each other, a carriage came galloping, and judging from the gorgeous appearance of the carriage, the people who came were either rich or noble. Seeing that the carriage drove into the place where the two sides were opposed, it could be judged that the owner of the carriage was not only a nobleman, but also a relative of the emperor.

"Your Excellency, that's the Duke of Loire's carriage!"

"Your Excellency the Doge, the Duke of Loire's carriage is coming!"

The Duke of Loire can be said to be an alternative in the history of the Kingdom of France, just inherited the title of duke not long ago, but he likes to travel everywhere, it is said that this person likes to fight grievances, and when he meets those magistrates who are traitors, he will appear magically every time, and he has been loved by many French people.

The carriage slowly stopped, and the coachman walked to the door with his head held high, and stood on the side, waiting quietly for the Duke.

A small-looking, but shrewd young man stepped out of the carriage in a few steps, and after looking incessantly into the crowd, he turned his attention to Governor Royo and Bishop William, "What a good day is today?" Actually let two big names gather here at the same time? I've heard what you're doing here today! To be honest, I came here smelling the scent! ”

No one believed that a dignified duke of a kingdom would be attracted to such a local delicacy, at least not by Governor Royo and Bishop William.

"Sailor's Tavern, interesting name, are you the boss here?" The Duke of Loire didn't seem to have any interest in continuing the conversation with the two bigwigs, so he went straight to the sailor's tavern surrounded by the city guards, and said to the city guard commander who was in the way, "Hey, you, let me pass!" What are so many people doing around people's taverns? By the way, you, a fat man dressed as a chef, should be the chef of this tavern, right? Bring me some of your new fish and chips, I left the house early in the morning and didn't even bother to eat lunch! ”

"I'm sorry, sir!" Murong Tao stepped forward and apologized, "As you can see, these city guards of the Governor's Mansion are about to arrest us on the ridiculous charge of adding strange elements to our fish and chips!" So, our chef is now so scared that he doesn't have any ability to prepare food for you! ”

The Duke of Loire looked at the bold young man curiously, "Interesting, black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, you are from a distant eastern country?" When I was younger, I used to go to that country called Ming, and it was full of people who looked like you, and they were much more hospitable than you. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get all the food you have in your hands! I'm really hungry! ”

The onlookers all heard the words of the Duke of Loire, and they were all talking about the country called Ming, some old sailors who had crossed the ocean began to popularize science, and others listened patiently, but from the mouths of these sailors, they knew that the country called Ming was rich in silk and porcelain, and they didn't know anything else.

"Since the adults have said so, Bayard, you can show your hand!" Murong Tao took a few steps back and winked at Bayad, who took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and began to re-fry the already marinated fish steaks in hot oil with the help of the two apprentices, along with the sliced potato cubes.

When a tray full of fish and chips was placed in front of the Duke of Loire, the young Duke sucked the saliva that was about to slip, and did not even take the knife and fork handed by Bayard, but grabbed it with his hand and ate it. It was fresh fish and chips, and the temperature was still very hot. I only heard the Duke of Loire moaning "hiss~woo~" from his mouth.

"Don't worry, adults, these sauces can enhance the taste of the food, please wait a while to use it more conveniently." Murong Tao loaded equal portions of various sauces into several small utensils and put them aside, "These sauces are the reason why the Governor's Mansion is accused of crocheting for us, if the adults don't dare to try it, they can be put aside." ”
