Chapter 964: Banquet (1)
Chapter 964: Banquet (1)
I suddenly wondered how the Tyrannosaurus rex and Ricardo tamed Fingal in the first place, but it didn't seem like the time.
Tia stepped forward and said, "It turns out that you are Miss Ginya of the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce, and I have heard of you a long time ago. ”
"Hey, what name can I have, they're just afraid of me!" Ginya waved her hand, "By the way, are you chefs?" I heard that your new dishes are delicious, and I would have wanted to try them for a long time, if I hadn't been busy training......"
"We've prepared enough food," says Tia, "and today you can have a great time, and in the future, when the stores we work with are open, you can eat as much as you want." ”
"That's right," Ginya nodded, "it's not just about eating in the future, food is only used to fill your stomach after all, and magic is the most eternal." ”
I interjected with a smile: "Magic is just one way to find eternal truth, and food may be another way, but not as powerful and effective as magic." ”
"Oh? Do you think of such a novel argument, Lord Bihon? Ginya asked curiously.
"No, I'm just summarizing some unknown fragments of history," I said, "for example, stories from some powerful predecessors who have survived for hundreds or thousands of years......"
I didn't say it was Elder Pasetar of the Treants, but I'm sure Ginya or others would have been hinted at in that direction.
"Three thousand avenues, different paths lead to the same end," Leo said, "this kind of thing, no one in your world has comprehended, right?" Even the gods are not necessarily enlightened, mortals ......"
"Strange, how can food and cooking be compared to magic?" Ginya asked.
"I heard that it was a fire mage more than a thousand years ago," I casually made up a story, "He didn't like fighting, so he used his fire to cook food, and as a result, he understood the meaning of controlling flames, and went straight from intermediate mage to mage." ”
"And such a thing?" Ginya was surprised.
"Of course," I said, "it's a pity that more than a thousand years ago was an era of strong men, and a magister was really not strong enough......"
"Anyway, I want to learn how to cook!" Ginya said, "Miss Tia, can you teach me?" ”
"Who do you say?" Leo said, "My beautiful girl is not a young lady, be careful when you speak!" Even if it's a horse monkey shochu, little Lori will sue you for slander! ”
I could tell he was in a good mood.
"Miss Ginya," said Tia, "I am just an ordinary sword dancer, not as noble as you, but I can teach you a little simple cooking." ”
"Sword Dancer......" said Ginya, "is another novel profession, but I've seen it in books...... Does cooking help your martial arts? ”
"Well, I can't tell," Tia hesitated, "I probably don't have that talent yet." ”
They were chatting speculatively here, and the teleportation array over there lit up again.
This time it was the main master, Yuris, the elder of the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce, with two sons and a group of backbones, a total of eight people, including Salalin - it was clear at a glance that she had been promoted.
Of course, I was greeted warmly.
Yuris exchanged a few words with me, his voice still loud and powerful, and he also reprimanded Ginya, who had arrived early, in a fake manner.
The next man was the goblin Borg, who came alone.
He was first amazed at the progress of the farm's construction, and then hurried to greet Yuris.
It wasn't long before Jack arrived with two elves.
These two people have very good eyes, and at first glance they are from the El Federation.
As soon as the people from the El Federation and the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce met, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Fortunately, then came to the rescue, the representatives of Santas Interior, Elven Street, including the representative of the "Demon Staff" that sold me half-dimensional building materials.
"Elves see elves, fellows see fellows......" Leo said slowly, "we are distracted to deal with the province." ”
The people of the El Federation greeted me politely and politely, and we chatted with the representatives of Elf Street, which really eased the awkward atmosphere.
Then, an old acquaintance came, the Ann Trustee.
There are five of them, except for him who is an orc troll, the other four are two humans and two elves, both humans are men, but one is a magician, the other is a swordsman, and the elves are a man and a woman, all of whom are cultivators of both magic and martial arts.
As soon as the trustees were introduced, I learned that the five of them were the five stewards of Santas.
In other words, under the core organization of Santas, the Tatu Society, it is the five of them who have the most power.
I greeted them, and they were quite polite, even a little reserved, after all, I was one of the core members, and nominally had higher authority than them.
The two elven stewards also joined the circle of the El Federation and Elven Street, and the human humans and the Ann trustee turned to the side of the Persomeda Chamber of Commerce.
"It was like this at first, and the atmosphere wasn't harmonious...... Leo said.
I said, "What's the solution?" You can't split the reception into two receptions, right? Isn't that more troublesome? It's hard to explain who comes first and who comes after. ”
"The Kaida Chamber of Commerce is still not coming?" Leo said, "It's too faceless, and what about the Tatu Society?" ”
"Let Xi Piyou ask, Kaida Chamber of Commerce, should it really turn its face? Anyway, they were supposed to work directly with Santas, and it wasn't our turn to worry about it," I said, "Tatu will probably still have to project it, and Otto and Borg will be here anyway." ”
"You're at ease." Leo muttered.
The people from the Kaida Chamber of Commerce really didn't come.
There weren't a few members of the Tatu Order either, but the third sage, Ben Og, the fifteenth Elephant Man Bombur, came, which was much better than last time, at least none of them came last time, and four came this time.
When the third sage Ben Og personally said that the first and second sages would not come, both the Persimeda Chamber of Commerce and the masters of Ellianban were obviously dissatisfied, but each one was better than the other. The third sage said a few words of apology, and both sides expressed understanding.
"That's what an adult should do," Leo said, "even if you don't give face, you have to pretend to be polite, and then make you stumble behind your back, that's what the upper echelons should do." ”
I also expressed my understanding, after all, the adult world is like this, maintaining superficial harmony and retaining decency is not only a minimum of respect for the other party, but also to leave a way back for yourself, and you don't have to tear your face like a child.
The adult world may be complicated and hypocritical in the eyes of children, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually the same as a child - you are good to me, I am good to you. It's just that adults will not retaliate immediately after being treated unfairly, like children, but look at the follow-up of the other party, delay retaliation, and if there are enough benefits, the previous losses can also be written off.
And behind all this, there are interests, as Leo said: "There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests." ”
As long as the interests are sufficient, the El Federation will not seize this matter and turn its face.
In short, a group of harmony on the surface is the best, and when we show enough sincerity in the process of hospitality, as well as considerable profits in the future......
So, in a congenial and good atmosphere, we took the guests to the pre-function area.
Supposedly, guests should be allowed to visit the construction of the farm before entering the banquet stage, but our main focus is food, so it is much more intuitive to serve the food directly than to visit the ingredients in the fields.
There are less than twenty full of two guests, and less than thirty of our own members, and there are not as many waiters as we have found temporarily, and there are not as many centaurs as oxen, and one roast camel can feed them all......
"Having enough to eat is only the minimum requirement for a treat, but tasting the food, exploring the culinary arts, and rising to the artistic level are only medium requirements," Leo said, "and talking about things is the most important thing." ”
"When I was a child, I thought it was fun to have a dinner party, and it was delicious and lively," I said, "and now that I think about it, the minds of adults, in fact, are not in the food, at least not all in it." ”
The newly decorated pre-function area has a round table that can accommodate 50 people.
The waiters are ready, mainly humans, and a few half-elves are serving on the side of the El Federation.
On the table are white tablecloths, and the cutlery is porcelain from the blacksmith shop, which has been transformed into a porcelain kiln.
However, there is a fire source on the back mountain, metallurgy, porcelain, and glass, and I am ready to move over.
The glass also attracted the attention of the guests.
Before the dishes were served, the cutlery alone had already whetted their appetite.
Of course, it wasn't just the cutlery, but when they sat down, they were amazed by the sofa under their buttocks - except for Otto, who had participated in the production after all, tried it, and immediately said that he would get two to put in his living room when he went back.
Of course, the environmental design of the welcome area is certainly not as good as the secular palace that these big men have seen, but it is also combined with the modern design of the earth, carved beams and paintings, resplendent that is a must, the combination of Chinese and Western, natural simplicity and the decoration of the details are also ingenious, the only regret is the ceiling, we have glass manufacturing technology, but failed to make electric lights, made a few large chandeliers, with magic beads as a light source, although there is also a bit of novelty, but not as attractive as the glass wine glass.
Ginya couldn't put down the glass, and she also learned the look of a chandelier, and took out a magic light bead and put it in the glass.
Yuris whispered to her, and she was petty and said, "I don't drink...... and the messenger behind her said that there was a new drink, and directly added her a glass.
"After eating, each person will be given a set of utensils," Leo said, "so that they will think about our specialties when they eat later." ”
