Chapter 221: Celebration Banquet (Part II)
At lunchtime, Thunder told Juston that the food could be served, and in the middle of the huge tent, a long purple-black wooden dining table lay down, which did not look crowded at all.
Thunder sat in the main seat, with the Troll Prophet on his left, Tutura the Goblin Merchant on his right, and Juston on the right.
The first thing that came up was the appetizer soup, which was served in a small amphora white porcelain bowl, and Lei Ming saw that it was a purple core konjac soup, but who was this guy who was wearing a piano roasted black noble robe and sneering at him?
Especially when Lei Ming glanced at him and looked up and down, the guy who handed him the soup bowl smiled even more, like a small flower with a happy smile in the sun, with indescribable respect in the dignified manners, and handed the soup bowl to Lei Ming with a half-hunched waist.
Juston also made a strong look at the other nobles who were afraid of the appearance of the Troll Prophet not to hesitate, and there was even a hint of warning in their eyes.
The two nobles who handed the bowl to the troll prophet immediately felt a pang in their hearts, and now that they were in close contact, the height advantage of the troll's race made them feel that they were a little shorter, and they thought of the terrifying scene of Yue Se controlling the thunder in the sky in mid-air, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said a few times in his heart to be calm, and then he squeezed out a flattering smile and handed the soup bowl over.
Yue Se watched all the small movements in her eyes with interest, as smart as her, and immediately knew that these nobles were now taking Juston's way to come in to serve tea and water, and they were definitely here to offer hospitality and familiarity, and they might soon be able to see the wonderful means of these little nobles to pat their ass, she was even more interested now, and poured all the sweet but not greasy bowl of purple core konjac soup into her mouth, thinking that this bowl was too small.
The little nobleman who had handed the bowl to Yuese froze, and then lowered his head again in an instant, lest his gaffe be seen by the Duke of Bourbon's distinguished guest, and then respectfully took the empty white porcelain bowl away.
As Moon Se wishes, the soup is immediately followed by a sumptuous menu and precious wine.
"Duke of Bourbon. This is my Romil family's treasured Roche wine, made 110 years ago, carefully preserved, and passed down to this day. On this day of national celebration, it is a good time to enjoy fine wine. ”
Count Romiel came in with a small barrel of fine wine, the whole barrel was made of rare silver, and the sandpaper lightly swiped, revealing the brilliant silver-white color of the barrel. When it was opened, there was already a burst of clear and delicate aroma of red wine.
"Duke of Bourbon, please try the ale that my Nathan family treasured, although it has only been stored for three years, but the wine is really the most fragrant and intense moment!"
Immediately behind Count Romile, Count Nathan, who had always run the hotel, immediately jumped out, and beside him, several of his men dressed in sackcloth carried three barrels of ale.
"Hmm. Lei Ming nodded with a smile, as if to indicate that he knew, but he didn't say anything else.
Count Romir and Count Nathan were overjoyed at the same time. As long as the Duke of Bourbon did not refuse their kindness, then they had succeeded, especially since there were many delicacies provided by them later, and this lunch would definitely leave a very good impression on the Duke of Bourbon.
Thundering's old friend, the troll prophet Balsakrite, smelled the aroma of ale, his eyes lit up, and with a stroke of his palm, a large wine barrel rolled towards him automatically, and he slapped his big hand to open the tightly sealed keg. With one hand, he lifted the barrel, which was one and a half meters high, and poured it into a large wooden wine glass that had been improvised in front of him, and suddenly white foam tumbled in the glass with an alluring aroma.
At the same time, a large number of dishes were served. For Western cuisine, many people will think that the variety is very small and thin, in the eyes of most commoners, even a piece of white bread will be regarded as a very rare delicacy, if the commoners guess what delicious the aristocratic lords will eat, they may tell you: fragrant brioche bread, large pieces of steak, milk, pumpkin soup, potatoes.
However. The world of aristocrats is far more than that, in terms of regular food, the first thing to be served is crispy apple pie, creamy pumpkin soup, three-color fruit salad, curry golden roast chicken, golden cheese, golden mashed potatoes, strawberry meat diced pizza, salad sausage.
Then there are many rare ingredients, which may have to be collected by chance to have a chance to taste, which is not common, but with the efforts of dozens of nobles in the two major provinces, this kind of food has been continuously sent to the table by the nobles: single-shell fairy shells, golden conch, black pearl caviar, roasted small flying fish, crispy black ground cicada, mud-roasted green vine tree stems, cumin celery leaves, black bear paws, salt-baked giant snails, and unknown monster barbecue that Thunder can't identify for the time being, tea-flavored unknown green eggs, chocolate baked tongue......
Rao is Lei Ming is well-informed, when a variety of dishes are served, there are still half of Lei Ming does not know, these ingredients are collected by the nobles on weekdays, in order to please Lei Ming, they also tried their best, it is estimated that they also invited their best chef, Lei Ming tasted more than a dozen eye-catching dishes, and then took some meat as the staple food, and the troll prophet and Tutura They poured a lot of wine.
Yuese has gone crazy now, there are a lot of that kind of food in small plates that she has swallowed alone, although the troll tribe is powerful, but it is too far away from the human race in terms of food, and there are so many delicious foods in front of her at all times, it can't be stopped at all.
The long dining table was almost full of food, and those little nobles were constantly busy adjusting the position of the plates, especially Lei Ming's side, surrounded by more than five nobles at all times, from time to time to introduce him to what kind of food and how it was cooked, and they were extremely courteous.
At this time, the situation was similar on the part of the Duke of Habsburg, the small nobles who were divided into the provinces of his province dined with him, and then the nobles who were ready to take refuge with him offered wine and food without concealment, but there were not many nobles who were ready to take refuge in the Duke of Habsburg, especially the barons, so the food was also inferior.
As for the Marquis of Steyr, who has always been low-key, only a few nobles have contacted him in private, and the presence of the Steyr family's private soldiers is too low, although he also fought bravely to kill the enemy in the war, but all the scenery was robbed, and the background of the Steyr family seems to be insufficient, at least in the empire, the reputation is not as loud as the Bourbon family and the Habsburg family, so the Marquis of Steyr has not received much attention.
