Chapter 196: In Search of a Familiar Taste Dr. Emmons came uninvited
The words of "Elizabeth" made George's heart flutter, and his pale and cold face began to flush, and that abstract source of energy was now in his eyes like a mountain of pink hairy peaches, waiting for him to pick. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.
"Elizabeth" and Lee Kwang Han glanced at each other knowingly, and although the two did not have the opportunity to exchange opinions along the way, they both wanted to go together. At this time, you can't force it, you can only outwit it.
Li Guanghan drank a few sips of green tea and suddenly felt hungry. From the morning just after a few bites of Joanna's breakfast to be approached by George, until now, the grains have not entered. "Elizabeth" was even hungrier, but she didn't dare to ask the kitchen for something different from Elizabeth's usual eating habits, which made George feel abrupt, and it would be exposed. So, she wanted to wait for George to speak.
Sure enough, George started to feel hungry after a few sips of green tea. He turned to Louis, the new butler standing behind him, and said, "Inform the kitchen that we can start serving, we are all hungry." ”
Louis bowed his head slightly, and said, Okay, and went out.
"Elizabeth" looked at his back, and just wanted to ask George if this was the new butler who succeeded William, and suddenly remembered that maybe this person had worked in this castle before, and Elizabeth might have known him, and almost lost his mouth. Her already open mouth immediately turned into a question of "Ah, is there any news from William, the butler who went down the hill with me?"
Speaking of William, the housekeeper, George hated it so much that he jumped up from his chair and said in a tone that changed his tone with excitement, "Hmph, that William, I originally believed him and asked him to take the Dharma Eye Dzi for testing, but he took advantage of the chaos and snatched it, and sold it to an antique dealer for a lot of money, and I don't know where to hide." Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. I won't let him go."
"Elizabeth, now this butler is new, his name is Louis, a native of the F-country. He has many years of experience in managing estates, castles and vineyards. George said as he looked at his watch. Hey, why hasn't David arrived yet?"
"Elizabeth" was shocked when she heard this, "Wei Jiajun, he knows my true identity, if he exposes it on the spot, what should we do, how can we escape?"
The kitchen maid had already begun to serve the food, and the three of them walked over to the large rectangular table and took their seats. One of the maids serving the food was the one who was knocked unconscious by Chen Aili more than eight months ago, and later Chen Aili changed into her clothes and escaped from the manor with Elizabeth hostage. "Elizabeth" took the initiative to greet the maid and asked her if the head injury was healed.
Li Guanghan looked out of the white floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant, the newly manicured verdant lawn was dotted with a circle of bright flowers, and the mountains in the distance were undulating, and the cascading trees seemed to cover the mountains with a green carpet. Was this manor he first came to a turning point or an end?
A BMW drove into the manor and stopped in front of the castle, where Wei Jiajun arrived.
Wei Jiajun, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was neatly combed, walked into the restaurant quickly under the guidance of the housekeeper Louis. When he raised his eyes, he was surprised to see that in addition to George, there were Elizabeth and Li Guanghan sitting at the table.
His pace slowed involuntarily. "Why did the two of them sit here, does George know that the junior sister is really not afraid of death." Many question marks suddenly appeared in Wei Jiajun's heart. Thinking that she still has a handle in Chen Aili's hands, she may be exposed by her colleagues at any time, even if she is destroyed here, she still has no good end, so it is better to cooperate with her to finish the trick.
Wei Jiajun greeted the boss George with a smile, and then naturally turned to "Elizabeth", "Hello Miss Hecate, when did you come back from China?"
"Just came back." "Elizabeth" replied simply. She knew that Wei Jiajun didn't plan to expose her here.
Wei Jiajun turned to Li Guanghan again and greeted, "Senior brother, what a coincidence, we met again." ”
Li Guanghan let out a lukewarm "um". Now, the incident happened suddenly, and he hasn't thought about it yet, and it's better to say more than less.
Wei Jiajun sat down in the tailseat with interest, and the maid also set a set of utensils for him.
The sun hid in the clouds, and the clouds rolled and became thicker and thicker, and the sky became overcast, and then the raindrops began to fall. The large dining room was lit up with crystal chandeliers, and the maid brought a silver candlestick carved on high legs, and the candlelight flickered and reflected the faces of the people at the table with different mentalities.
The servants serve the dishes in turn, starting with a Caesar salad, followed by a cream mushroom bisque, and then a small piece of tender steak for one person. "Elizabeth" and Lee Kwang-han were very hungry, but they still paid attention to etiquette and did not make a sound. Although Wei Jiajun was not hungry, he was full of worries, and he also lowered his head and pursed his lips and ate carefully. Only George could hear the sound of chewing vegetables, drinking soup, and eating steak in a big gulp. In a few moments, the napkin on his chest was already splattered with soup and oil.
The maids were still serving the food on their plates. Li Guanghan suddenly smelled the long-lost aroma of smoked bacon. In the blink of an eye, the maid put a dish of fried smoked bacon with chili pepper in front of everyone, with white rice, red and green chili peppers, lined with patches of dark red fleshy and firm bacon, and the thin fat meat seemed to be inlaid with crystal clear lace next to the lean meat. The snow-white rice is served in a half-opened bamboo tube, giving off a refreshing fragrance.
It's obviously not the first time George has eaten bamboo rice and smoked bacon. He excitedly said to everyone, "This bacon should be marinated with various ingredients and salt for more than two weeks, and then hung on the stove and smoked by firewood, and orange peels should be put in the firewood, and slowly the bacon will exude a fruity aroma." When the grease is dried by the fireworks, it becomes the crystal clear effect it is now. ”
Li Guanghan listened with interest, nodding his head and encouraging him to find an opportunity to try the smoked preserved fish and bloody duck again. Wei Jiajun guessed a little in his heart what Li Guanghan and Chen Aili wanted to do.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the rain became heavier and heavier, accompanied by strong winds, lightning and thunder, and the raindrops crackled on the glass windows. Another car drove into the manor, and the housekeeper Louis saw it in the house and hurriedly went out to greet him with an umbrella.
It was Dr. Emmons
George looked up from the food and was surprised to see Dr. Emmons, "Dr. Emmons, how did you know we were at the manor today"
"Oh, George, I was also passing by the manor, and it happened to be in a violent storm, and the mountain road was too slippery and dangerous, so I wanted to come to you to take shelter from the rain." Dr. Emmons said lightly as he took the towel that Louis handed him and wiped the rain off his head.
He put down his towel and walked slowly into the dining room, looking at the four people at the table in amazement. His blue eyes gleamed with joy behind the lenses.
