Chapter 56 It's just that the division of labor is different
Chur. Wharton knew that his friend Colin would not be used to the situation of the dinner party, so he left his attendants as a buffer and response. Fire? Correct? Wen?? w?w?w?.?
For his squire's ability to improvise, Kull. Wharton has a lot of confidence.
It's just that......
Looking at the guests in the hall, or falling to the ground, or standing in place shivering, Kuhl. Wharton suddenly realized that he had underestimated his friend's 'directness'.
Most of the time, Qin Ran is a direct person.
Because this can leave a considerable amount of time for him to devote himself to the things he cares about and enjoys.
There is no doubt that dealing with strangers is not a liking for Qin Ran.
Therefore, when facing a group of men who were indignant because of the cold reception of the three ladies, Qin Ran didn't wait for these people to get closer, so he simply glanced at them.
Not full force.
Just a slight release of some breath.
But even so.
It is enough to make these hot-blooded, self-aware greenhouse flowers understand what cruelty is.
Feel the smell of blood in your nose.
There seemed to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of him.
There were bursts of pre-death wails in my ears.
These noble children, who boasted of being brave and brave on weekdays, and who could praise themselves for three months after hunting a rabbit, were slumped on the ground one by one, and a few of them were even wet.
Even those carefully selected guards are barely standing.
On the contrary, the attendants of the Marquis of Wharton did not change their faces, but their breathing was slightly shortened.
And then?
The gazes of these attendants as they looked at Qin Ran changed continuously.
Especially Kuhl. Wharton's personal attendant.
He knows something.
He was not surprised by Qin Ran's strength.
Can......
That's a little too strong, isn't it?
It's just a look!
Even the leaders and captains of the royal guard, that's the level, right?
However, this is indeed a good thing for the young master!
The attendant, who thought of something, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
It's just that when the squire turned around and saw the mess in front of him, his face was immediately full of bitterness.
He will definitely be reprimanded by the Marquis!
The thought of facing the stilted, stern face of the lord made the bitterness in the squire's eyes more and more obvious.
The Marquis of Wharton, the treasurer of Etandine VI, had a majesty in the mansion that no one could imagine.
Therefore, when the Marquis of Wharton walked into the hall, all the attendants saluted in unison.
Uniformity is not to be said.
It also meets the standards of nobility.
This made the old marquis, who was watching the etiquette, nod in satisfaction.
But randomly, a trace of displeasure flashed in the old marquis's eyes.
Although the nobles on the ground and slumped in chairs were all small families attached to him, he would never underestimate such a small family, because he was also one of them.
If it weren't for the discernment of Etandin VI, he would have been obscure to everyone.
So, he's happy to give anyone a chance.
Of course
Must be an aristocrat.
And, know etiquette.
There is no doubt that Qin Ran does not meet either.
Plus, the recklessness of the other side.
The old marquis didn't like it very much, and it could even be said that he hated Qin Ran.
Because, Qin Ran behaved no different from those rude mercenaries, and even more ignorant.
After all, those mercenaries also knew that in a marquis's mansion, they had to be more restrained and not go too far.
If he could, the old marquis really wanted to expel Qin Ran.
But he couldn't.
Qin Ran's life-saving grace to his son is a fact.
Moreover, again, twice.
If he expels him without giving anything in return, he will violate his own etiquette.
Therefore, the old marquis endured.
Kuhl next to the old marquis. Wharton felt his father's hurried breath and knew what his father was thinking, and the young man immediately walked quickly towards Qin Ran.
"Colin, this is my father."
Chur. As if he couldn't see everything in the hall, Wharton introduced his father to his friend with a smile.
"Hello."
Out of politeness, Qin Ran got up and replied.
"Hmm."
The old marquis nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked towards the nobles who made a fool of themselves, greeting each other in a low voice, and resolving the embarrassment just now without a trace.
"The banquet is going to be postponed."
Chur. Wharton lowered his voice.
There are not many of these people.
But there are no less.
Dozens of people.
The old marquis greeted one by one, naturally wasting a lot of time.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place."
Chur. Wharton gently tugged on Qin Ran's sleeve and walked towards the corridor on the side, and Qin Ran followed quietly.
The departure of the two was seen by the people in the hall.
However, most of them are not seen.
Because, with the appearance of Marquis Wharton, the choice of the protagonist in the hall at this moment has long changed.
Only Kuhl. Wharton's personal attendant stood there, his face almost green.
He was well acquainted with the character of the old marquis.
If the young master stays where he is honestly at this time, and admits his mistakes with his friends, at most he will be scolded afterwards, but if he leaves?
It's over!
The young master is estimated to be beaten again.
And he?
As the young master's personal attendant, he naturally has to empathize.
The young master hit ten times.
Him, twenty strokes.
Suddenly, the attendant felt a burning pain in his back.
In particular, see Chur. The direction in which Wharton and Qin Ran were moving should be behind the kitchen, and the attendant closed his eyes in despair.
Master, you and that one eat less.
In a moment, there will be a dinner party.
If the marquis loses face, I guess I'll be killed.
……
"Bell, bell!"
"Kitchen!"
"Surprised?"
Chur. Wharton pointed to the building not far ahead, showing off to his friend.
The kitchen, in the eyes of many, is simply not worth showing off.
However, the Wharton family's kitchen is an exception.
Because......
The Whartons have Kuhl. Walton.
Kuhl, who has shown an unusual talent for eating since he was a child. Wharton not only built the kitchen into a two-story house, but also dug two floors underground to store all kinds of ingredients.
The interior of the kitchen is even more spacious.
A row of ten stoves, in the middle of the room.
After leaving enough space, around the ten stoves was a kitchen table with kitchen utensils such as cutting boards and kitchen knives, and at this moment, there were enough 20 cooks under the command of each chef to cook food in an orderly manner.
This scene made Qin Ran feel a little nostalgic.
In Teorit of the Meaning of Food.
He's seen such kitchens before, too.
Moreover, in that dungeon world dominated by 'food', ingredients and cooking skills have already reached a certain peak.
Unconsciously, Qin Ran's saliva began to accelerate its secretion.
Perhaps, the food here is not far from the [Righteousness of Food] dungeon world, but it is still delicious.
Beside Qin Ran, Kur. Wharton swallowed his saliva involuntarily, his eyes almost glowing with substance.
However, this heir to the marquis, knows what to do.
"Go up to the second floor."
Chur. Wharton said in a low voice.
Qin Ran followed silently behind him and walked up to the second floor.
The chefs watched the two go up to the second floor, but none of them saluted.
No, arrogant.
Rather, Kuhl. Wharton's commands.
He believes that when anyone is doing something, they need to be focused, not superficial, so he allows any chef who is busy in the kitchen to do without saluting.
After all, if the food is too hot because of the salute, the taste will become bad.
Compared to the wide area of the first floor, the second floor is a little narrower.
Of course, this narrowness is very spacious compared to the area on the first floor, which looks like a basketball court.
Because, there is only one table and two chairs.
Other than that, it's just a cabinet.
"Sit."
Chur. As Wharton spoke, he ran to a cupboard by himself, took out two sets of exquisite tableware from it, and after placing them, he moved to another cabinet and took out a set of tea sets, and then walked to the cabinet behind Qin Ran and brought out a bunch of refreshments.
"You know what?"
"I've long imagined that friends can come to my secret base and have tea and eat together."
"Now it's finally happening!"
"I'm so happy!"
Chur. Wharton said excitedly, a blush on his face.
"I'm also very happy to be able to eat these refreshments."
Qin Ran said truthfully.
And in the face of such an honest Qin Ran, Kur. Wharton was getting happier.
He placed the refreshments on a plate in front of Qin Ran.
While putting the small tea bricks into the pot, he sat on the charcoal fire.
When all this was done, Kuhl. Wharton sat opposite Qin Ran, picked up a piece of lemon crisp, and swallowed it directly.
The sourness of lemon.
Sweetness in pastries.
In the cabinet made by the secret arts, there is no deterioration, and it is still so delicious that it makes Kur. Wharton couldn't help but squint his eyes in pleasure.
Qin Ran picked up the lemon crisp.
Taste ok.
The ingredients are high-quality, the materials are exquisite, and the heat is well controlled.
Qin Ran commented in his heart, picked up the refreshments on the plate one by one, and put them in his mouth.
Wait until Kuhl. When Wharton came back to his senses, the refreshments on the plate in front of him had already been swept away.
Chur. Wharton was stunned.
What happened?
What about his refreshments?
It's just here!
So much!
For five!
After an afternoon of sharing, Kuhl. Wharton thought that he had a fairly good understanding of Qin Ran's appetite.
But the scene in front of him is telling Kull. Wharton, he miscalculated!
So......
"Colin, haven't you had enough to eat in the afternoon?"
Chur. Wharton asked in a low voice.
There was a deep embarrassment on his face.
Because, he really thinks that in the afternoon, he treated his friend well.
It's not very hearty, but it's adequate.
Can now?
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded truthfully.
Facing Qin Ran, who nodded, Kur. Wharton grew more and more embarrassed.
"You wait!"
For his first friend, he cherished Kuhl. Wharton immediately stood up and walked towards the special cabinets.
The next moment
It's not just refreshments.
Golden bread, large slices of ham, round cheese that has not yet been cut, and whole plates of cheese appear first.
Then, there's grilled beef ribs, whole lamb backs and a fish-vegetable salad in a washbasin-sized container, and a soup with mashed potatoes mixed with milk.
The taste is a little weird.
Therefore, Qin Ran picked up the basin and drank it all in one gulp.
Food, eat the unpalatable first, and then eat the delicious food, which will make the food more delicious.
However, this gesture made Kuhl. Wharton was taken aback.
He stood there, hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and walked towards the largest cabinet on one side.
There was the extra meal he had left for himself during the harvest season.
It took him a lot of effort to hide from his father that he put it here.
Now, it needs to be taken out in advance!
But to his only friend......
It can be regarded as a waste of effort that he has spent.
Crunchy.
The wheels could hardly withstand the sound of oppression, and Kuhl. Wharton cautiously stepped out with a large cart.
There's a cow in the car!
Whole roast beef!
Qin Ran's nose moved.
He smelled not only beef, but also lamb, pork, goose, duck, chicken, pigeons, and quail.
Chur. Wharton took out a pair of gloves from under the cart, and after keeping them in his hands, he turned the roast cow over, and then, with the sharp knife he took out, inserted it into the belly of the cow, and slid it hard.
Suddenly, the roast beef bloomed like a flower.
Layers of meat in Chur. Under Wharton's superb swordsmanship, there was no pause, just like layers of petals.
When the roasted quail splits in the middle, a golden grape appears in the middle, like a stamen.
Fragrance!
Rich fragrance!
The most peculiar thing is that such a rich fragrance is not a little mixed, but is layered, especially the golden grapes, which exude a botanical fragrance that is different from meat.
In the layers of meat aroma, this touch of fragrance has a feeling of finishing touch.
Qin Ran's gaze stared straight at this golden grape.
In the bottom of his heart, the saliva of 'gluttony' has begun to flow down the corners of his mouth.
'Gluttony' wiped it hard.
But it doesn't work at all.
The saliva still couldn't help but flow down.
"Brother, brother, I want to eat."
'Gluttony' is honest.
Qin Ran nodded slightly, he stood up, Kur. Wharton carefully scooped out the golden grapes with a spoon and handed them to Qin Ran.
"Thank you."
Qin Ran sincerely thanked him.
This particular roast cow was not pushed out in the first place, apparently to Kuhl. Wharton is important, not to mention the best part of the dish.
Since the other party is willing to share the most delicious food, then it is natural to thank him.
"No thanks."
"We're friends."
"Hurry up and try its taste, it is the most delicious at this time!"
Chur. Wharton said.
Qin Ran immediately sent the golden grapes into his mouth.
With a slight exertion, the whole grape bursts open.
Sweet juice fills the mouth.
"Ahhh~"
Gluttony let out a cheer and began to drive the power of original sin into a frenzy, followed by transformation.
It's different from the 'Power of Faith'!
The devouring, transforming, and purer of the moment.
More ......
From the heart!
At this time, the high-ranking evil spirit encountered a little trouble.
