Chapter 54: The Artist's Imagination
Baron Theresa muttered to himself: "In this way, it is the inheritance of the title, well, it is much more noble than the title of Pufeng." Ask Duchamp, "Your father's name?" Duchamp hurriedly said, "Samuel." ”
The baron nodded and said, "It's a good name. Continue writing: "Sir Samuel S. Duchamp, a native of Pvenis, a martial artist, skilled in court swordsmanship,"
When Duchamp saw this, he hurriedly reminded: "My family heirloom is a knife." The baron hurriedly changed it to "good at court swordsmanship, swordsmanship, and aristocratic cultivation such as art, music, and cooking." After thinking about it for a moment, he continued: "Because of his outstanding achievements in resisting the tide of beasts in the Northland, he was granted the title of guardian of the Dominion in 1175 with the approval of the lord, and it was passed down from generation to generation, and later died in 1182. Now his only son has reached the age of majority, excels in his studies, and is of good character, and should be given a formal title of succession in accordance with the system of succession of the imperial nobility. ”
The baron looked at it and said with satisfaction, "Well, a very formal, noble, and detailed official document shall be sent to my uncle at once, and he shall be allowed to return in two weeks, and from then on you may add the word "knight" to your own name." ”
The baron turned around, looked at Duchamp, and said with satisfaction: "The standard aristocratic appearance is really suitable for this title." By the way, you don't have a family crest yet. ”
Duchamp couldn't help but laugh and said, "I grew up in Pvennis's mercenary group, how could there be such a thing. ”
Baron Theresa nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's still too late, Baron Ben will personally design a noble, artistic family crest for you, and to tell you the truth, I have always deeply regretted not being able to design my own family crest myself." ”
Baron Theresa took a blank piece of paper, drew an ellipse on the paper, and asked Duchamp: "Which animal do you prefer as a symbol of the family coat of arms?" ”
Duchamp said: "The lord's coat of arms is a polar bird, and mine also uses a bird common in the Northlands." ”
Baron Teresa nodded and said, "That has to use the immortal bird, the polar bird, it's too ordinary." ”
Then he asked Duchamp, "Which plant do you like to put on the family crest, such as irises, gorse, etc." ”
Duchamp hurriedly said: "Olive branch." ”
The baron nodded in satisfaction and said, "Fresh and refined." Then I tweaked it a little bit and added a few decorations on it. In the end, he said with satisfaction: "What a masterpiece, what do you think?" ”
Duchamp saw that the lord was indeed a genuine top student of the art department. The middle motif of the coat of arms is a shield, which symbolizes protection. On the left and right, there is a long-tailed bird with wings raised, and an olive branch in its beak is held together, and the leaves of the olive branch are upturned at both ends to form the complete shape of a coat of arms. After reading it, Duchamp said with satisfaction: "Very satisfied." ”
Baron Theresa said proudly, "I also think it's much better than our coat of arms." He added two more strokes to the paper, stretched out his hand, rang the bell, summoned the steward, and commanded, "Call at once a skilled craftsman to make this coat of arms for me, and also make a seal." ”
Duchamp saw that the baron was familiar with the way, and asked, "This is the first title you have sent out?"
The baron said angrily: "What kind of bastard is this, do you think this thing can be sent as much as you want?" I only have three places in total, one is for my wife and brother, and the remaining two have been empty for so many years and haven't been used yet. ”
Duchamp said, "I don't know how to repay your great kindness." ”
Baron Theresa was waiting for this sentence, and a chrysanthemum flower appeared on his face: "Just remember, when I go to the Ruley University of Technology, just give me some useful results of their latest research results, whether it is military or civilian, as long as Pvennis can use it." Then he said obscenely, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." ”
Du Shang couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this, didn't my brother become a spy? But he agreed without hesitation.
Coming out of the Lord's Mansion, Duchamp was still a little dizzy, and he couldn't believe that this was mixed up with a noble title. Thinking about it, I didn't go to the old machete restaurant for a few days and decided to go around.
The old machete restaurant, since Polaris came to make trouble, no one dared to come to the door, and then Polaris and Green Forest shook hands and made peace, and the news came out, and the restaurant's business returned to normal. When Duchamp arrived at the restaurant, it was lunchtime, and business was just right in the restaurant. As soon as the old machete saw Duchamp, he hurriedly called him to come to the kitchen to help. Duchamp was busy frying dishes for a long time, and suddenly remembered one thing, he should have called the lord to dine just now, and he missed the opportunity to brush the task in vain.
Duchamp was a man of action, and during the lunch break, he immediately wrote a formal letter, in order to thank the lord for his favor, and specially invited the lord to take the time to enjoy the light to dine at the old machete restaurant every other day. Send a waitress to deliver the letter to your lordship. According to Duchamp's understanding, as an artist, the lord basically did not miss the opportunity to appreciate the culinary arts.
After sending the letter, Duchamp began to think seriously and develop new dishes.
Most of the most popular dishes in the old machete restaurant are the common recipes that Duchamp and the old machete researched before the opening, such as meat steaks, charcoal grills, and all kinds of bread that the old machete is particularly good at. The essence of traditional Chinese food has not yet been revealed.
The high-grade Chinese food is very particular about the ingredients, and the current raw materials in the restaurant are insufficient. Want to make a famous dish? Sea cucumber, wood, abalone, wood, morel, wood, shark fin, wood. Duki has, so what else to do.
After sorting out the Chinese food recipes, Duchamp finally made a list of dishes that could still be made on the table:
Beijing-style Bazhen Duck, Luoyang Fake Swallow Vegetables, Hangzhou Xiaolongbao, Crystal Shrimp, Cherry Meat, Yunnan Steam Pot Chicken.
The list of these dishes is so light that Duchamp himself doesn't have much appetite, but the good thing is that these dishes don't require ingredients, and the store just makes up for it.
After another look, Duchamp found himself in need of a steamer.
For the task, Duchamp went straight to the blacksmith shop in Haken, and suddenly there was a burst of chickens and dogs, the bamboo steamer was not forced, and the wooden one could make do. The steam pot wood of purple sand has, with a large clay pot and a small clay pot. As for the ingredients, there are no fresh lotus leaves, pine needles are okay, no fresh cherries, and canned cherries are fine...... I made do with so much, I don't know if there will be a bit of the taste of the original dish when it is made.
When I returned to the store, the clerk who delivered the letter had already returned, and the lord gladly replied that he had come to eat at noon the next day. What are you waiting for, start experimenting now! The experience of a foodie in a previous life and the culinary proficiency in this life did not know that I could make a few successful dishes.
Late at night, Duchamp asked his relatives and friends with an expectant face: How many of the trial dishes are edible?
The old machete thought for a while: too light!
Ah Jin picked his teeth: too little meat!
Dushane is full of cattle!
