Anduin's refusal relieved many people, including Terenus and the old lord, and the solemn scepter only nodded silently, not forced, as if he was just casually saying Anduin's invitation. However, the atmosphere at the main table also became more and more awkward because of Konstantin's sudden question, and it was not until the wedding banquet officially began that the food was served to the table.

The meal category of the wedding banquet is a Western-style meal, the specific dishes are jointly formulated by Anduin and Gerald, the selection process is also very simple, Anduin took the menu of the Silver Hotel, and selected a few signature dishes to basically constitute the main body of the banquet, which made Gerald surprised, but also secretly delighted, when Gordon proposed Anduin to lead the wedding banquet, he also thought that Anduin would choose all the signature food of the Hearthstone Hotel, never thought that it would be such a situation, and waited until the guests at the banquet were happy, and asked which meal it was, The Silver Hotel is bound to make a good impression and help it to expand into the local market in the future.

Anduin didn't care about the choice of dishes, because Hearthstone Inn is good at it, and the production method will follow the concept of the earth, so in general, the Silver Hotel is just a name. Since the wedding banquet is much more formal than the usual occasion, Anduin adds side dishes before the main course, and milk tea is set after the dessert.

"Anduin, my old bones, but I miss the flavor of dry-aged steak!"

The old man's heartfelt emotion, but the people present were in a fog, the name of the steak was a little strange, which made people foggy, Alsace, who had heard the name for a long time, slightly raised his interest and smiled slightly: "Old man, don't worry, today's main dish is dry aged steak." ”

"Oh! Is it? The old man's smile suddenly bloomed, "I want to eat more today, the last time I went to the Hearthstone Inn, it was just a small piece, and I gave it to other people, it's not enough to eat at all!" By the way, I've always wondered how the final dessert cake is made, and the taste of seafood bisque and smoked salmon is also fresh in my memory! ”

The old man's attitude surprised everyone around him, this old man who nominally retired early often traveled thousands of miles to find food, but there was not much food that he missed so much, although Terenus and Eliza had long heard about how delicious the food at the Hearthstone Inn was, but they had never taken it to heart, especially Eliza, who had planned to leave the church to find trouble with Anduin, but when she saw that there were not many people in front of the Hearthstone Inn at all, she was very "kind" and did not go to the ground.

In fact, if Eliza hadn't been angry with Alsace on the day of the tea party, she wouldn't have been so kind when she ate the cotton cake.

The corners of Anduin's mouth were slightly hooked: "Old man, you have a few delicacies today, in addition, side dishes and milk tea are also added, but as the main event of the wedding banquet cake, I have done a lot of processing, because the cake you ate at the hotel that day is actually just a prototype." ”

The old lord was aroused by Anduin's words, holding a knife and fork in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the attendant who walked calmly, and he laughed: "I was a headache last time by those little guys, I must taste it today!" ”

The voice fell, the meal was delivered, and the eyes were brightly colored smoked salmon, the old man was not old, and at a glance he found that the two smoked salmon before and after were slightly different, the biggest reason for this was naturally the selection of materials, there was a fortress royal family, and all kinds of top materials were selected by Anduin at will, he naturally would not spare people's money, and directly selected the most cherished and delicious precious salmon, and then cooperated with the most advanced cooking technology and production utensils at this stage, to create an appetizing feast.

Since he put on the twisted bracelet, Tyrenus, who has lost his appetite, can't help but pick up the tableware when he sees the smoked salmon with a clear texture, but before he can use the knife, a faint incense wafts up, the smell of low-temperature smoke is natural but not pungent, and all kinds of seasonings are perfectly integrated in the passage of time, straight to his mind, which suddenly makes Terrenus's spirit a little clearer, his face showed a look of surprise, but the old man's exclamation sounded in his ears: "Delicious, really delicious, Anduin, don't tell you, A few days after I left the Hearthstone Inn, I was still a little unaccustomed to it, and I kept thinking that if only you could drive the Hearthstone Inn to the stronghold. ”

Eliza, who is at the same table, even when eating, must maintain an elegant and noble posture, but this does not prevent her from being stunned by this smoked salmon, the smooth meat, ingenious lemon juice is added, its unique taste not only makes her feel satisfied with her taste buds, but also her appetite is immediately hooked by the sweet and sour taste, this dish perfectly reflects the role of the appetizer, no matter from which aspect of the evaluation is perfect, even the plating decoration is so pleasing to the eye, which makes Eliza, who is determined to be picky, very depressed.

Coincidentally, in a light or heavy exclamation, Terenus and the Solemn Scepter started to eat at the same time, and put down the utensils at the same time, as the two most respected mountains, they naturally could not fully show their respective thoughts, but Anduin saw that the plates of the two of them became empty, and the smile on his face couldn't help but brighten a little.

For chefs, no matter how exaggerated the evaluation, it can't compare to the word "finished eating".

And the next soup and side dishes, also by the host and guests present, with the momentum of the wind and clouds, quickly wiped away, Zhou Zhuo, who was sitting next to Anduin, wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth comfortably, and said with a smile: "When I was at the Hearthstone Hotel, I ate a lot of home-cooked dishes with the flavor of my hometown, and today, I have tasted a completely different but generally delicious foreign meal, Earl Anduin, dare to ask what kind of dishes you don't know?" ”

Feeling the gaze of everyone, Anduin did not maintain a state of humility: "To put it bluntly, as long as I can name and provide the corresponding ingredients, I can perfectly show the flavor of the dish, Hearthstone Inn is all-inclusive, only the unexpected, nothing can be done!" ”

Eliza, who had racked her brains and had been looking for an opportunity to make trouble, suddenly came to her senses and laughed slyly: "Don't talk too much, Count Anduin, even if the taste of the first few dishes is indeed acceptable, you shouldn't be so wild!" As far as I know, there are several dishes that you can't make! ”

Anduin glanced at Eliza, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Princess Eliza, you are not a professional chef, and you don't know the truth that everything is inseparable, no matter how strange the ingredients are, in fact, they can't be separated from the inherent characteristics of food, the difference is nothing more than cooking methods and production tools, if you really want to teach a thing or two, wait until you go back to the Hearthstone Hotel, although you can let the horse come, but let's talk about it first, if you want to eat dragon meat, you have to provide the materials yourself, of course, I estimate that you can't get it!" ”

"You!"

Eliza's eyes widened with rage, almost spitting fire, and Prince Terenus laughed and said, "What's so angry about this? Eliza, when the wedding feast is over, I'll send Arthas to take you to the Hearthstone Inn, and although I can't taste the strange food, when you come back, you will have to tell me with Arthas how it turned out. ”

Hearing this, Arthas is very helpless, his attitude towards Eliza is now respectful, but his father and sister want to match the two, and since that turmoil, Eliza seems to have changed as a person, no longer as arrogant as before, and has become very enthusiastic about him, although this enthusiasm may only be superficial, but it also makes Arthas feel in crisis, especially after that person suddenly appeared......

In response to Prince Terenus's deliberate request, Eliza simply agreed, and deliberately moved closer to Arthas, seeing that Prince Terenus was more and more happy, and immediately opened his index finger, and began to look forward to the dry-aged steak with a very distinctive name.

It's just that when the waiter delivers the meal, many people, including Terenus, all frown, for no other reason, it is really this steak and the expected appearance, there is a lot of difference, the first three dishes just look at it, you can be deeply attracted by the carefully arranged decoration, but this dry aged steak, but it seems to be hurriedly baked, there is no shadow of decoration at all, and on the steak, there is only a handful of sesame seeds sprinkled casually, compared to the previous dishes, this highly anticipated steak main course, On the contrary, it is a bit perfunctory.

But at this time, the old lord suddenly spoke: "Tsk, when I ate last time, there were still a few vegetable leaves on the side of the plate, but today there are only sesame seeds left, Anduin, is it the next time I eat it, there are no sesame seeds?" ”

Anduin chuckled softly: "Of course not, for this steak, any decoration is superfluous, the steak you ate last time, in fact, has not reached a perfect state, the air-drying time has just reached the standard, so I just added two leaves, which can be regarded as saving some points at the appearance level, but today's one, it is just the most suitable air-drying date, so it will not be the icing on the cake to do superficial work." ”

"Is this what it looks like?"

The smiling old man, glanced around, found that no one moved, the bento took the lead, and once again through the knife and fork, experienced a different cutting feeling, under the polishing of time, this steak vividly showed all its characteristics, when the old lord carefully sent it into the mouth, immediately closed his eyes and chewed, the method of dry aging steak is still so simple, but the unique flavor of beef is more and more conspicuous, soft meat, juicy, almost unconsciously, The beef in his mouth disappeared at the end of his throat, and all he could do was exhale the turbidity and taste it again.

With the old lord as an example, everyone also dispelled their worries, and picked up knives and forks to taste the food, this time, even Terenus and the solemn scepter were moved, His Majesty the Prince looked at Anduin and was amazed: "Since you refused Constantine's invitation, I don't think you should agree to become the chief chef of the fortress royal family, Anduin, are you really unwilling to move the Hearthstone Inn to the fortress?" Even if I do it for my own sake, I will find the most suitable location for the Hearthstone Inn. ”

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of moving the Hearthstone Inn out of Stormwind, but the development of a branch is on the agenda, and it won't be long before you can enjoy a variety of top-notch delicacies, including dry-aged steaks, in your palace."

"Good!" Terenus's mood was high, "When the branch opens, I'll be there in person!" ”

As the words fell, the solemn scepter continued: "Anduin, although I have heard that you found these recipes from the New World, but I don't think there is a second reasonable explanation other than the gift of the Holy Light, it seems that the trip to the New World has given you a rare transformation, and it is really a pity that I did not succeed in inviting you to join the Holy See of the Sun." ”

Anduin raised his eyebrows and said smoothly: "When I was in the New World, I was guided by Hearthstone to return immediately, and I encountered a crisis on the way, although I can't remember the details, I can't forget the light at that time, but not dazzling, and then I heard a very special sound, I can't describe the feeling, until my teacher, Pope Lazarez, appeared, I realized that it was the Holy Light. ”

Konstantin glanced at Anduin thoughtfully, his eyes were slightly meaningful, but he didn't continue to speak, while Eliza on the other side stared at Anduin with a strange look, trying to tell whether what he said was true or false, if it was fake, the source of that extremely special summoning ability became a mystery, on the contrary, although it could explain the source of the ability, it was completely impossible for the Holy Light without consciousness to take the initiative to provide gifts to Anduin, and the gifts also included various novel recipes.

The doubts were destined to be difficult to solve immediately, and Eliza's attention was soon attracted by the dessert cake brought to the table.

Eliza, as an imperial princess, naturally ate a lot of various birthday cakes and celebration cakes, but there was no cake like this one in front of her, the surface of the cake was sprinkled with a thick layer of brown powder, and the smell that escaped also had a certain bitter taste that was not unpleasant.

"What is this?"

Everyone was puzzled, even Zhou Zhuo, a traveling scholar who had lived in the Hearthstone Inn for several days, couldn't figure it out, and Kalia and Presto, who had just gone to toast everywhere, happened to return to the main table, looked at the strange cake on the table, and asked in wonder, "Count Anduin, is this what you call tiramisu?" How does it look ......"

"So weird?"

Anduin chuckled, the popular cakes of the Holy Empire are still in an extremely primitive state, and they have not developed a method for making cream, and at the same time, they have not even made full use of fruits, and coffee and cocoa, the two major food gods, have never been put on the table, and the main reason is that these two ingredients are actually specialties of the New World! For the Holy Empire, it is especially unfamiliar, and it is no wonder that everyone will behave like this.

"I think at this time, the power of words has become very weak, and although I think that this tiramisu is on a par with dry aged steak, I still hope that all of you here can put aside all distractions and enjoy this very special pastry."
