Act 229. Villa in Sophinet

Happily receiving Sophinet's help, Reiner and the others arrived in a carriage to Priest the next day, and then traveled two trains until they arrived at North in the evening.

North is more like an ordinary seaside town than the high-rise Torundo, where small two- to three-story bungalows are generally made of white brick and stone, which looks golden in the sunset.

Unlike the usual stone paths, the walkways here are paved with various shells and lead to the sea.

The salty smell of the sea breeze makes you feel a little refreshing, and on both sides of the road, there is a constant stream of people wearing light clothes, and the shops are overcrowded.

But Reiner and the others don't have to worry, they take a horse-drawn carriage from the train station and soon arrive at a secluded villa.

Located on the shore, the four-storey building glows golden in the sun.

The carriage stopped, and Sophinet was the first to come down, dressed in an ordinary dress that showed off her slender, fair calves.

"Young Master."

At the entrance of the villa, two rows of servants had already stood neatly and uniformly, except for a few who were obviously cooks, the men were all dressed in black and white waiter clothes, while the women were dressed in classical maid clothes.

The one who spoke was an old man with a white beard, who wore white gloves and a well-dressed gown, and who did not sweat a drop even in this hot weather.

"Joe, it's been a long time, the last time I saw you, I was only ten years old."

Sofinette smiled, then introduced to the servants.

"These are my friends, my most distinguished guests."

The butler named Joe also bowed slowly when he saw Reiner and the others who got out of the carriage.

Reiner nodded in acknowledgment and followed Sofinette into the villa.

Sofinette didn't lie to Reiner, the villa was decorated with a sophisticated, understated and luxurious décor that showed the owner's taste, and the servants were also well-trained to help Reiner carry their luggage to the room cleanly.

Although the rooms in this villa were enough to guarantee a separate room for each person, they decided to share a room for the sake of mutual care.

Claire and Fina had a room, Elimia had a room, Dana had a room with Charlotte, and as for Reiner, he politely declined Sophinet's request to share a room and chose to have his own room.

"Wow, it's the sea!"

As soon as Claire entered the room, she saw a balcony with one side of the curtain open, the balcony was facing the sea, the sun was setting, the original blue sea was dyed golden, in the distance, a few white sails were swaying in the waves, and near the shore, countless swimmers were playing.

"Is that the Silver Desert over there, there are so many people."

Arimia walked up to Claire and looked at the area, on the beach, colorful parasols were spreading, all kinds of tourists came and went, and the laughter and laughter could be heard clearly even from such a distance, it was already dusk, and there were many fewer tourists on the beach, but it still looked a little crowded, which made Arimia a little worried.

The three of them took turns taking a hot shower to dissipate the fatigue of the long journey, and just as Fina, who was the last to finish washing, changed her clothes, a knock on the door made the three of them look at the door.

Knock Knock Knock –

"Dinner is ready, please three ladies come downstairs and enjoy it."

Joe's voice came from outside the door, and Fina opened it, only to see the butler standing in the doorway, saluting the three of them.

"Okay, Teacher Claire, Elimia, shall we go?"

"So, I'm hungry!"

Claire jumped out of bed, but Arimia didn't show much affection.

The three of them followed the housekeeper Joe to the first floor and walked into the restaurant on the left.

The dining room of this villa is also very delicately decorated, with paintings by famous artists hanging on the walls, a narrative mural in the sky, a small mahogany table in the center of the dining room, and a fireplace and sofa on the other side, which seems to be a place not only for dining but also for rest and entertainment.

Sofinette was already seated at one side of the long table, and Reiner was sitting across from him.

On the left-hand side of the two, Charlotte and Dana were already seated, and it looked like Claire and the three of them were missing.

"The chefs here are very good and good at using local ingredients, and I hope you will be satisfied."

Sofinette said with a smile as she saw the servants pushing the cart and pushing the dishes one by one.

The chef opened the lid next to the table and could see that in the huge plate, a fatty fish was wrapped in a large amount of white salt, and the heat was still exuding, the chef skillfully cut it, removed the skin, smeared a little olive oil, and finally took out a strange green fruit the size of a finger, and sprinkled a little of the kernel on the fish.

"This is a salt-baked migratory foam fish with finger lemon, the fish is the fish that has just migrated to the river to spawn, and it is the fattest, and this finger lemon is a special lemon, only the size of a finger, with a unique taste."

The chef said that a plate of fish was placed in front of each person.

The white fish is sparkling in the light thanks to the olive oil, while the pale pink lemon fruit is dotted on it, adding a touch of texture to the dish.

Reiner put a piece of fish meat in his mouth with a few lemon grains, and his eyes widened slightly.

As recorded in the book, the meat of migratory foam fish is delicate, and the fish in the farrowing period is even more fatty and fragrant, and the salt-baked method can easily make the meat turn woody, shriveled and difficult to swallow, but the heat of this dish is well controlled, and the olive oil is used to restore the original taste of the fish.

The most amazing thing is the special finger lemon, originally Reiner thought that this was just an embellishment to adjust the taste, but only knew in the mouth that this lemon not only has an ordinary fresh and sour taste, but also has a hint of apple and banana fruitiness, because the migratory foam fish is very fat, it is easy to produce a greasy feeling, but under the neutralization of the finger lemon, the greasy feeling quietly disappears, replaced by a rich layer of sweet and sour and salty fish, which makes people taste good and look forward to the next dish.

The dinner was in the traditional form preferred by the classical aristocracy, divided into appetizers, soups, side dishes, main courses, vegetables, desserts and teas, which was cumbersome and formal, and was too cumbersome for the teachers who admired efficiency, so it was rarely used in gatherings.

The main function of the appetizer is to appetize, so salty and sour palates are usually used to stimulate the tongue, and this dish in front of you undoubtedly does this.

Then, along with the bread that has been baked to a crispy exterior and a fluffy inside, a colorful dish is served. 8)
