Chapter Seventy-One: The Food and the Black Hand
"What do you think I'm doing? Go about it all on your own. ”
The old gentleman was sitting in front of the dining table, smiling and driving away the crowd of onlookers, but the onlookers said that they would rather die than obey, and launched a cold confrontation with a firm posture of not moving, and gathered around the table silently, only one side revealed a narrow passage for one person to pass.
was stared at by everyone, which made the old gentleman slap the table with some displeasure: "Van Cleef, Jones, take your people away." ”
The two presidents didn't move, but an urn sounded from the crowd and responded angrily: "Even if we can't eat it, we can always watch it from the sidelines, right?" ”
"Jones, don't think that if you pinch your nose, I can't hear it's you!"
The old lord snorted coldly, and then watched Jones cough dryly and walked out: "Old lord, we don't rob you, can we just watch you eat from the side?" ”
As soon as these words came out, he immediately responded to the burst, if it weren't for the old lord's good cultivation, he would directly use force, he stared at the explorers and architects who were about to get close to the table, and said with a calm face: "You can see it, stay away, I can't even let go of my arms now!" I said, what's good about you? Why are they also characters with heads and faces, and their feelings are revealed when they encounter something to eat? I look good at that kid Renault, how did you bring you to be like this? ”
At this time, a do-good person pointed to Jones: "Ask our chief, if he hadn't proposed to build a branch in Stormwind, we wouldn't have known about the Hearthstone Inn opened by Earl Anduin!" ”
Jones glanced sideways at Hera Tieli, who was speaking, and was immediately reprimanded by the old man: "Jones! I'm going to criticize you, as Renault's valued successor, why don't you follow the rules at all? You have to remember that when you take the helm of the Explorers' Guild in the Silver Fortress, every performance, every decision, will not affect you alone, or one guild! You have to think about the fortress, and the whole empire! The most important reason why Renault didn't let you go to the New World was that you were too lazy and wanted to keep you by his side and discipline you well, but it turned out that you found a paradise by yourself and enjoyed yourself here all day long! I'll definitely talk to Renault about it! ”
"Don't, don't, you always have something to say!" Jones is most afraid of Renault's boss Xingshi now, in line with the belief that it is better to die late than early, he hurriedly glanced at everyone, only then did he tear up the space slightly, squeezed out a smiling face and said with a smile, "Old man, what about this matter, we still have to think about it in the long run, after all, the Hearthstone Hotel can be successfully established, even if I don't have merit, I have hard work, you ......"
"What are you cramming around here?"
Anduin said a little inexplicably, as soon as Jones turned around, his eyes were completely fixed, staring at the food on the plate, and couldn't help asking, "...... this?"
Red smiled and rushed to say, "I know! Smoked salmon! Or I helped smoke it! ”
Jones shrugged his shoulders and said heartily, "I want to know what it tastes like more than its name." ”
Everyone unanimously agreed, and Anduin looked at the fierce murderous aura that came to his face, and laughed softly: "I think all of you are not the opponent of the old lord combined. ”
Hearing this, Jones stood beside him with a face full of pity, and watched the smoked salmon being delivered to the old lord with everyone.
"Just like this, it looks very different from the Silver Hotel."
The old lord was not in a hurry to start, first looked at the appetizing appetizer, the salmon meat is exceptionally fresh, the texture is clearly visible, just a glance at the bright color, it makes people have a great appetite, the salmon and around the plate, but also carefully embellished with some decorations, elegant, not to mention the flavor, just the sense is much better than the silver hotel.
The nose flutters, the high-quality incense from the selected wood wafts in, the old man's eyes are bright, this fragrance is not strong or light, just right, the unique flavor of various spices is integrated with it, it is not pungent, but it makes several people around can't help but stretch out their heads, want to taste carefully.
The old gentleman coughed, forced everyone back with his eyes, and then picked up the knife and fork with a smile, and slowly and elegantly cut off a piece and sent it to his mouth, and his face suddenly showed such a look as before.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Van Cleef couldn't help but ask, "Old man, how does it taste?" ”
The old lord didn't respond, just shook his head and tasted it carefully, and waited until half of the fish meat was in his stomach, and then said: "Anduin, no wonder you choose to smoke and roast at a low temperature, if not, this salmon will definitely not be so slippery, this alone is much stronger than the Silver Hotel, not to mention that the smoky aroma completely penetrates into the fish, and with lemon juice, the taste is unique and commendable!" ”
Anduin smiled slightly: "Since you are satisfied, old man, I will also rest assured, in fact, today's lunch will be even more delicious with high-quality red wine." ”
In order to complete the turnaround as soon as possible, Anduin didn't want to let go of this excellent opportunity to sell wine, but the old gentleman who was in a good mood did not refuse, glanced at the wine cabinet, and chose a red wine that was slightly inferior to Dalaran red wine.
"Well, yes, this bottle of good old wine from the elves is good, and this carefully crafted smoked salmon is even better!"
The old lord sighed with satisfaction, and immediately saw Anduin send a second seafood soup, in the thick white and fragrant delicious soup, floating all kinds of seafood, both in terms of smell and appearance, still much more brilliant than the Silver Hotel.
As for the taste, needless to say, the old gentleman took a sip and said in surprise: "Gordon, the chef of the Silver Hotel, has a lot of fame even in the capital, why is the seafood soup he makes so obvious compared to this one?" ”
Although Van Cleef didn't have a chance to taste it, he also nodded: "When I ate at the Silver Hotel before, I felt that there was a problem, and if there is a comparison, there will be a gap." ”
Anduin smiled slightly, turned around and left, deliberately sold a pass, the old lord could not get an answer, so he could only continue to taste by himself, the bearded dwarf suddenly asked: "Old lord, is it delicious?" ”
Jones slapped him on the head angrily: "Nonsense, can it not taste good?" ”
"I won't describe the specific taste, let's use an analogy." The old gentleman looked at the outdoors where the wind and snow gradually subsided, and sighed sincerely, "In front of this bowl of seafood soup, no matter how strong the wind and snow are, no matter how cold the weather is, it will make me forget the severe cold." ”
Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, the old man did not say it explicitly, but simply explained his feelings, but let everyone feel the characteristics of this seafood soup most intuitively, but for Red, no matter how warm the seafood soup is, it can't compare to his scarf.
But when a refreshing aroma suddenly came, the only thing left in the chief's son's mind was the smell.
At the same time, everyone in the hall looked at the plate in Anduin's hand, and the old lord saw that the situation was not good, and rushed forward with an arrow to prevent Jones and the others from desperately blocking the road.
"This is pan-fried steak?"
The old gentleman looked at it intently and found that compared with the previous two meals, the decoration of this steak was only two leaves, and only Xiwei condiments could be seen on the surface of the beef, which was simply and clearly placed on the plate, quite a back-to-basics attitude.
"Eat first."
Anduin smiled at the corner of his mouth, the old man did not hesitate, and directly picked up the knife and fork and began to cut, just the feeling of the blade entering the meat is different, not to mention the strange feeling of the meat entrance, he has already noticed that this fragrant fried steak does not have many processing procedures, except for the butter used for frying, at most there is only a handful of sea salt and scattered sesame seeds, but such a simple method makes him fully feel the original taste of beef.
This is the precipitation of time, is the perfect combination of nature and manpower, the old man only then understood why Van Cleef said that Gordon's pan-fried steak is just like this, compared to the magic of nature, human deliberate carving, just to add to the snake, not to mention that Gordon's production concept has shortcomings.
The oily ribeye steak only needs to be matured three times to bring a supreme feeling to the old man's lips and teeth.
"Needless to say." The old lord sighed, slowly put down the knife and fork in his hand, everyone looked strange, and thought that something was not in his favor, who knew that he suddenly said in a deep voice, "As an elder, I can't take all the good things, this steak is not much, but at least everyone has a share." ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately saw the old man cutting the beef by himself, Jones and Van Cleef hurriedly organized a queue, so that everyone could eat the beef in an orderly and rapid manner.
"This steak reminds me of hot pot, which doesn't seem to have much special, but it can bring unexpected surprises."
After the bearded dwarf finished eating, he couldn't help but start in a daze, and the others also looked sluggish, everyone present had eaten steak in various places, but if you ask yourself, there is absolutely no one that can compare to the last piece that is about to be put into the old man's mouth.
Especially Red, the flavor of this steak simply broke his worldview, and he now realizes that the original barbecue is really just the most primitive way of cooking! The reason why humans, elves, goblins, gnomes and other races are committed to the pursuit of food enjoyment and the development of a variety of production processes is indeed more worthy of pursuit than serving war.
At this moment, Red's heart was touched by food, and he felt that no matter what, he had to let this delicacy pass on, and at the same time, his view of Anduin changed qualitatively, which was the result of Ed's inspiration, Jones's friendliness, Kane Sr's recognition, and everyone's trust.
