Chapter 90: The Celebration Banquet
In the vestibule, where the sun did not shine, the long table was already full of guards, except for two guards on the city wall and at the entrance of the castle.
"Master Gervais." At this moment, Nashen was also present, and he was the only one at the table where Nashen was, and when Gervais walked over, Nashen hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Lord Nashen, the ice cubes are ready, you can taste them soon!" Gervais smiled and nodded at Nashen, then waved his hand to the manservant beside him, and the manservant immediately stepped forward and handed the tray to Gervais and Nashen, there were only two silver cups on the tray, which were prepared for Gervais and Nashen.
To tell the truth, Gervais wanted to show that Corporal Lixian was sharing the ups and downs with the soldiers, and drinking the juice from a wooden cup like them, but with Nashen as a guest, Gervais could not do so, so he could only drink it from a silver cup.
Gervais and Nashen each took a glass of juice from the tray, Gervais nodded to Nashen, and then turned to look at the guards present, all the guards also got their own wooden cups of juice at this moment, and they all stood on the edge of the long table with the juice in their hands, looking at Gervais, waiting for Gervais's lecture.
"Your bravery, I saw it last night, in order to show my appreciation for you, you can eat as much food as you like on the long table today, if it is not enough for the kitchen, let's raise a glass now! Cheers to victory! May the glory always be with us!! ”
Gervais was not a verbose man, nor was he a bureaucratic man, and under the burning gaze of the guards, he simply said a few words, and then raised the silver cup in his hand and raised his glass to cheer.
"Thank you, sir! May glory be with us! ”
"Lord Shegeris, may the glory be with us!"
The guards had been salivating over the food on the long table, and when they knew that it would be ready to be eaten, they were all in high spirits, and they all jumped up for joy, raised their wooden cups in unison, and shouted loudly.
There are a lot of foods on the long table, barbecue, mushroom stew, lobster, oysters, crabs, these are the delicacies that the guards can rarely eat, especially these foods are cooked by the chef team led by Jimmy, all of them are fragrant, and the smell makes people swallow.
After the guards shouted twice, they all took their cups and began to drink the juice in the cups.
"Huh?"
"It's so cold?"
"Really, there's ice in there, and it's still floating on it!"
"Oh my God, how can there be ice, I actually ate ice in the summer!"
After only one or two sips, the guards noticed the strangeness in the wooden cup, and the slightest cold feeling was easy to distinguish in this hot summer, like fireflies in the dark night, it was so distinct.
Nashen also took a sip of the drink with ice cubes at this moment, and his eyes lit up, he and Gervais were the highest in the audience, the number of ice cubes was much more than that of the guards, and the taste was even more wonderful.
"What a miracle! Master Gervais, I really believe now that you can make ice cubes in the summer! ”
Nashen took two more sips before he said to Gervais in contentment.
"Haha, it's just a coincidence, I also saw it in a travelogue in the castle, otherwise I wouldn't know this mineral that can make ice!"
Gervais replied with a smile, he is not worried about attracting the attention of others because he can make ice, there are many unsolved mysteries in this world, that is, the space opened by the golden elf worm, there are many minerals that people don't know, so Gervais doesn't need to be particularly cautious in this regard, just say a proper reason to justify himself.
Just like Na Shen said in the morning, the space opened up by the elven worm owned by the nobles may not be that there is only seawater in the space, but that there is a new type of mineral in the space that people don't know, but no one knows it.
No one in this world dares to guarantee that they are omniscient and omnipotent, and the transportation here is inconvenient and the news is blocked, if it is not for the intentional publicity, it is impossible to spread the news throughout the entire principality.
If the space opened up by Valis was not obtained by Gervais, but by other nobles, they could only cut those rocks as building materials, but when they were obtained by Gervais, a traverser, they could boil out nitrate, which could not only make ice, but also make gunpowder.
"Aren't you surprised that there are ice cubes in the drink, this is what I specially asked Chef Jimmy to put in in order to treat everyone, and the drink must be drunk quickly, otherwise when the ice melts, the ice will be wasted!"
Gervais saw that the guards were standing and discussing one by one, and many of the guards even drank the drink directly in one gulp, and then took out the ice cube and put it on his hand and looked at it for a while, Gervais was afraid that the ice cube in their hands would turn into water before they could eat it, so he reminded them.
"Yes, my lord!"
The guards who put the ice cube in their hands and watched it vigorously only reacted after listening to Gervais's words, and hurriedly stuffed the ice cube into their mouths. ,
"Now everyone can sit down and enjoy the food at the long table!"
Seeing their eating appearance, Gervais couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't care about them, in front of him, these people's eating appearance was already restrained, so he ordered them to sit down and eat.
"Yes, my lord!"
The guards were immediately agitated and quickly saluted Gervais, and then one by one they scrambled to their seats, raised their hands and began to snatch the delicious food in the wooden basin.
The vestibule was filled with the noise of the guards and the sound of munching on food, and many guards shouted "Delicious!" while eating. Delicious! Voice.
The sound even attracted the four guards on duty, peeking in from time to time, swallowing saliva in their mouths.
However, they also knew that they were on duty at the moment, and they didn't dare to look anymore after just a few peeks, and honestly observed the outside of the castle.
Although the four guards on duty could not eat food now, food and drink had been prepared for them separately, and when they were on duty, they could eat the same, and each of them was rewarded with 10 copper plates.
……
"Young Master Gervais, the food in your castle has completely conquered me, I'm really worried that I will have to face the food in the manor when I go back?"
When the guards began to gobble up, Gervais was on his side, and he and Nashen also ate it, and after Nashen swallowed a roasted oyster in his stomach, he felt extremely satisfied, wiped his hands with a square towel, and sighed to Gervais.
"Lord Nashen, don't worry, I can tell you unequivocally that in the near future, such delicacies will appear in every corner of the county!"
Gervais heard Nashen's exclamation, and also wiped his hands with a towel, and then smiled and comforted Nashen, since the success of ice making, he had the confidence to say this.
"Oh? Are you sure? Could it be that Master Gervais, you are going to sell these seafood in the county? ”
Nashen listened to Gervais's words, his eyes lit up, he had been completely conquered by the food in Vess Castle, especially this seafood called Golden Oyster, which was simply addictive.
"Yes, I believe that it will not be long before Lord Nashen will be able to eat such delicious golden oysters even in your manor!"
Gervais nodded affirmatively to Nashen.
"And, Lord Nashen, this golden oyster has the effect of nourishing the body of men, so you can eat more of it then! Ha ha! ”
"Really? I see, I said how I couldn't sleep well last night, it turned out to be the effect of eating this golden oyster! ”
Nashen's eyes widened suddenly, and then it dawned on him that he had finally found the reason why he couldn't sleep last night.
“……”
Gervais was speechless about Nashen's uprightness, but since Nashen thought that the effect of oysters was so strong, it was also something that Gervais liked to see.
Now that ice is available, and it is obtained in the cheapest way, Gervais has put the abandoned seafood business back on the agenda, and tied it to the already planned method of cooking roasted oysters to make money.
The two complement each other, and Gervais feels that he deserves to make a lot of money.
