Chapter 129: The Power of Food
As Arthas said that the plan could not catch up with the change, he and Eliza had a good conversation, but because he made that unreasonable request, the fragile relationship that had just formed broke down instantly, Eliza, as the princess of the empire, did not make a fuss on the spot, and it has already shown that she has a good temperament, but she is not afraid of 10,000, but she is afraid of what happens, Arthas can only beg Anduin to help stabilize Eliza.
Although Her Royal Highness the princess just said, "Who doesn't want to marry the incarnation of the Holy Light", everyone present knew that this was angry talk, and Anduin thought that he didn't have this charm yet, so he could only act on the opportunity for the time being. And the most angry is Princess Kalia, who originally saw the relationship between her brother and Eliza heating up rapidly, and thought that Arthas's marriage was finally done, but she didn't want to mess it up completely in a blink of an eye, and immediately called Arthas out in anger, and when she came back, everyone could see the unconcealable look of loss on the face of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"What do you see me doing?"
Arthas said a little unnaturally, this is the first time he has been criticized by his sister for his head and face, and unconsciously, the only two remaining relatives regard his marriage as the top priority, and it seems that he has to find a partner to marry immediately at the engagement banquet, Arthas really can't resist the verbal offensive, so he shows that he likes the genius mage Gianna, but unexpectedly, Kalia did not express the support he expected.
"Arthas, our father is old."
This is Kalia's only answer after the silence, the meaning is self-evident, making His Royal Highness the prince incomprehensible from the bottom of his heart, the sister who should have been a firm backing, actually stood on the other side, such a plump ideal and the opposition of the backbone reality, so that he could not let go for a while, Eliza's amazing feelings, instantly diluted by the unique charm of Gianna in his memory, he wanted to let go of the pursuit of love desperately, but Kalia's words turned into a boulder, and weighed heavily on his heart.
Terenus is old, and he doesn't want to continue the cold war with his relatives, but Gianna's sensitive identity is bound to lead to more serious consequences.
Reality or dreams, how should I choose?
Arthas remembered the deafening questioning of Terenus in the hall, and it was only then that he realized that he was not ready to inherit Varian's will, and when Kalia saw his uneasy expression, she quietly left, leaving him alone for a long time to calm down, and slowly returned to the royal pastry room, and became the focus of everyone at the first time.
Anduin, who had already become the protagonist of the kitchen at this time, did not stop his performance, turned his head and said solemnly to Arthas: "If you want to come together, go wash your face!" ”
Sensing the deep meaning in Anduin's words, Arthas nodded silently, finally stimulated with cold water, lifted his spirit slightly, temporarily forgot the complicated entanglement, and quietly stood beside Eliza, who took off her long purple gloves, and asked quietly, "What is this doing?" ”
Arthas did not give up his plans, no matter what, he tried to fool himself around, and among all the nobles and ladies present, only Eliza could enter his eyes, but Her Royal Highness the princess was not angry, and just watched Anduin's movements with a focused expression.
Gerald on the side saw Alsace's embarrassed expression, so he woke up Gordon who was even more distracted, the imperial capital celebrity chef was amazed by Anduin's genius creativity, and his words were full of admiration: "In the field of gastronomy development, Count Anduin is an out-and-out leader, I never thought that ordinary eggs could show a snowflake-like state." ”
Andulum was making a pastry called "cotton cake" at the time, which used few simple ingredients such as eggs, milk, and flour, and to Gordon's surprise, he whipped the egg whites into a creamy shape in front of everyone's eyes, which simply opened a new door for Gordon, and made those present stare intently at Anduin's movements and the special machine in his hand.
Anduin, who had tasted a sore arm earlier, did not hide it because of the presence of competitors, and directly took out the whisk made by the dwarf engineer, and spun quickly at the egg white, and after a while, the fluffy cream like snow was presented in front of everyone, Princess Eliza asked with some curiosity: "Can this be eaten directly?" ”
"No, the whipped cream from egg whites needs to be heated."
Anduin shook his head without looking back, then he took out a third of the cream, poured it into the egg yolk batter he had made earlier, tossed it evenly from the bottom to the top with a spatula, and then poured the mixed egg yolk paste back into the cream, and then stirred it in the same way to present a pale yellow cake batter, and this was done.
Then, Anduin made another astonishing move, he saw that the oven here was not very qualified, so he took out the spare oven directly from the earl's badge, and when everyone didn't know what to say, he poured the cake batter into the mold, sent it to the oven, clapped his hands, and said with a slight smile: "It can be baked in about an hour, and the reason why this cotton cake is called this name is because of its delicate taste, as soft as cotton." ”
Seeing this scene, Gerald and Gordon couldn't help but glance at each other, secretly smacking their tongues, Anduin not only in terms of food concept, far beyond his peers, but even the cooking tools have developed to a higher level, if it weren't for the presence of nobles, the two would have dismantled Anduin's oven on the spot and studied its internal structure.
Princess Eliza held her heart and said in surprise: "I didn't expect the incarnation of holy light to be such a clever man, I think your girlfriend must be very happy to be able to eat the food you made every day, right?" ”
Anduin, who doesn't often cook with his own hands, raised his eyebrows, remembered the appearance of having dinner with Sonia, nodded and shook his head: "Actually, I am not a professional chef, purely by the evaluation of skills, I am far inferior to Chef Gordon, in our Hearthstone Hotel, we have our own full-time chef, my usual work is just a start." ”
"No, no, no, the level of cooking skills must not be, purely judging by skills, Earl Anduin's innovative thinking simply makes me admire."
Gordon exclaimed in great sincerity: "This cotton cake is really an eye-opener for me, Earl Anduin, I wonder if you can cooperate with me in making a meal for Princess Kalia's engagement banquet?" ”
Before Anduin could speak, Gerald couldn't help but say, "Gordon......"
Gordon pressed Gerald's shoulder and sent a very sincere invitation to Anduin: "Count Anduin, no matter what, I can't learn creativity from you in vain, maybe the only thing I can do is to take it upon myself to repay it, I hope that you will be in charge of the main production at that time, and I will be willing to help you." ”
When he was in the Silver Hotel, Gordon showed the humility that a professional chef should have, and he did not show a posture of resistance to Anduin's various instructions, and he was able to do such a thing at this time, which did not surprise Anduin too much, but Gerald was a little indignant, but because of the people around him, he could only swallow his anger.
Although he knew that he couldn't curb the rise of the Hearthstone Inn, he didn't want to give up this great opportunity, but Gordon was an important partner in his development path, and he couldn't care about the other party's feelings, remembering that Anduin had just rejected Princess Kalia's proposal, Gerald suddenly felt a lot better, if there was no way to stop it, then let it be, at least the ending of the co-hosting for now is much better than the Hearthstone Inn alone.
After figuring it out, Gerald removed the gloomy look on his face and said to Anduin and Princess Kalia: "Gordon's heart is also the meaning of our Silver Hotel, I hope to co-host the engagement banquet of Her Royal Highness Princess with the Hearthstone Hotel, I wonder if Princess Kalia can agree?" ”
"Of course."
In this regard, Kalia naturally fully accepted, at the beginning, she was afraid that the two sides might have contradictions, so she only said that Anduin would do it, but she didn't expect that before the cotton cake was baked, the Silver Hotel took the lead in making concessions, and she was pleasantly surprised by the happy result.
Perhaps, this is the power of food.
