The dinner has officially begun, and it has finally begun!

At this time, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and Fort William was already shrouded in thick fog, and the quaint and huge ancient buildings were in the white mist, like a fairyland on earth.

The temperature outside plummets, but the temperature near the surface is still warmer, this is the chosen place, God blesses the land, the whole Fort William is in a very rich geothermal resources surrounded by water terrace, there is a steady stream of hot springs underground, so there will be the whole Fort William in the winter North O is still a green scene.

After hundreds of years of growth, the whole of Fort William has long been built into a well-connected thermal irrigation system, an underground defense system, and high-end spa facilities.

The health spa in Fort Wilhelm is one of the best in the world, rich in all kinds of trace elements required by the human body, low in sulphur and low radiation.

The long-awaited dinner began, the first time in twenty years that the old duke opened the door to Fort William to entertain guests, because it was a private banquet, Fort William did not invite other guests, but specially invited the young guests from the East.

It can be seen how much Duke Philips attaches great importance to Guan Hao.

The large mahogany dining table, somewhat mottled, is topped with a rich purple velvet tablecloth.

Huge crystal lamps are hung in the middle of the dining table, each lamp is wiped clean and bright by the staff, and the candles are lit inside, which makes people feel magnificent when they look at it.

Even so, the light is a little dim in this large space, and there are several very fine silver candlesticks on the dining table.

There were five people sitting at the whole table, the old duke sat on the side of the main seat, Guan Hao was arranged on the right hand side of the old duke, opposite Lisa, Lisa's left hand side was Zhang Kite, and Guan Hao's right hand side Zhang Kite was opposite Luke.

There were five people sitting at the huge table, young and old, and the butler stood behind the old duke, keeping an eye on the old master anytime and anywhere.

And everyone else has a service person behind them.

These people, all dressed in the traditional court attire of the Windmill Kingdom, politely greet today's young guests.

Guan Hao tied his napkin in a good manner, waiting for the old duke to start the dinner.

Fort William's banquet tonight is hosted according to the standard of a state banquet for the royal family to entertain the Führer, and everyone has a menu in front of them: the appetizer is fish and shrimp jelly with mung bean paste, and the soup is: pope consommé; The main course is: Philip steak with morel mushrooms and Madeira sauce; Desserts are: chocolate mousse, crisp hazelnuts with hazelnut sauce.

Guan Hao was already hungry, and when he saw these delicate and pitiful foods, he couldn't help but open his appetite.

From cutlery to napkins, each piece is antique, bearing the imprint of Fort William's striking shield insignia.

The old duke raised the red wine glass poured by the old butler, and took a sip of it fiercely, and the old face, which was originally a little pale, suddenly became rosy, perhaps he had not enjoyed the taste of fine wine for a long time, the old man licked his lips unconsciously, swallowed his saliva, and then said slowly:

"Welcome to Fort William, a toast to the Windmill Kingdom!"

"Cheers!"

Duke Philips' dinner has officially begun!

Western food is a separate meal system, the order of the dishes is paid attention to, first drink the appetizer aperitif, usually white wine or the like, the old duke's personal doctor has long put an end to the old man's drinking, so the drinking link is exempt, fortunately, the old duke today in the name of Guan Hao, and his baby granddaughter applied for a red wine.

There was a bottle of red wine in front of the old man, and the waiter had asked the others what they needed, and the castle had prepared several different types of wine tonight, including red wine, white wine, champagne, and the famous national wine of the windmill kingdom: gin.

Gin, known as gin, is a grain liquor obtained by distilling three times after fermentation with barley malt and rye as the main raw materials, with juniper enzyme as the flavoring material, and then adding juniper berry spice and then distilling, and finally the distilled liquor is stored in glass tanks for maturity, and then diluted and bottled when packing. The gin is transparent and bright in color, with outstanding aroma, strong spice flavor, spicy and sweet, and unique style. It is refreshing to drink neatly or on the rocks, and the alcohol content is about 52 degrees. Due to its heavy aroma, gin is only suitable for pure drinking, and should not be used as a base for blends, otherwise it will destroy the balanced aroma of the ingredients.

Guan Hao naturally chooses gin, he prefers spirits, and the unique flavor of gin is very good for his taste.

Luke saw that his good brother chose gin, and he also chose gin.

"Little guy, yes, there is a vision, the gin you chose is a good thing, the taste is pure, the fragrance is prominent, and it makes people have an endless aftertaste, but it's a pity, I haven't drunk it for a long time!"

"Grandpa Duke, I know that gin is the national drink of our windmill kingdom, it is gin, what is unique about him?"

"The gin in front of you is the royal wine of the kingdom for the royal family, which is not available outside, and it is also a specialty of my Fort William, which is made of winter barley and spring water from our Fort William as raw materials, after six fermentations and distillations, after blending juniper berry spices, and sealed in oak barrels for more than 20 years before bottling."

"Winter barley, the kingdom still produces barley when it is so cold in winter?" Guan Hao asked.

"Boy, you don't know, do you? In the whole of O continent, we are the only one in Fort William who produces winter barley, and we produce less than ten tons per year. ”

"Grandpa, when I first entered the castle, I saw a green patch, something like pasture, is it our winter barley unique to Fort William?"

"Yes, that's Winter Barley!"

"I found that the temperature in the area where the castle is located is much higher than outside, is there geothermal heat and hot spring irrigation?"

"That's right, we have an abundance of geothermal and hot springs in Fort William, and the barley irrigated with the hot springs is unique."

"I see!"

"Stay in the castle tonight! You can enjoy the hot springs of the castle! ”

After raising a glass with everyone, after eating the appetizer and mating it, Guan Hao raised the glass with gin and saluted Duke Philips.

"Grandpa Duke, I wish you good health! According to the tradition of our country C, I am a junior, and you need to fill up the glass to toast you, and you have to drink it all in one go. You can choose how much you want to drink. ”

Guan Hao motioned to the waiter behind him to pour the wine full, holding a full glass of gin, Guan Hao got up, walked to the old duke, raised his glass with both hands, and gently touched the old man's red wine glass respectfully:

"Grandpa Duke, I wish you good health!"

Guan Hao drank it all with pride, and his face did not change color after drinking.

"Okay, that's the pride of my Philips family."

The old duke also drank the red wine in his glass.

"Grandpa, drink slowly!"

"Haha, little Lisa, grandpa is fine, is this wine you prepared for me from Obiang, if I am not mistaken, this bottle should be from 1975, the aroma is still good, but it is too light, suitable for you girls."

"Yes, grandpa, Sister Zhang and I also drank this 1975 vintage Obiang, I think it's delicious, the taste is rich, and the fragrance is mellow."

"My good Lisa, can you bring me a cup of Royal Henks that Guan Hao drinks, just a small cup, it's rare to be happy today."

"Grandpa, Henks is too strong, why don't I mix some ice water for you to drink!"

"Gin with ice water and lemon isn't that a Pegasus Tinni!"

"Well, the cocktails are all for you kids, just pour me some of your henks."

Guan Hao saw that the old man was happy, and he was so hungry, he should have not drunk for a long time. moved his heart of compassion, and just after a large glass of spirits was eaten, it also aroused his pride.

So without waiting for Lisa's approval, he picked up the gin bottle in the hand of the waiter behind him, and poured a small half glass into the old man's red wine glass.

After pouring it for the old man, he poured another cup for himself.

Lisa, who was originally eyeing the boat on the side, saw that Mu had become a boat, so she didn't say anything in this situation, but for the sake of her authority, she still glared at Guan Hao fiercely with her beautiful blue danfeng eyes.

Guan Hao didn't care, raised his glass, and saluted the old man again.

"Grandpa, I will toast you again, or wish you health and happiness!"

The old duke instinctively raised his glass, and was about to clink glasses, when he saw that he was using a goblet of red wine, and hurriedly said:

"Wait, I'm going to change the cup, Royal Henks is going to use the Crystal Balloon Cup." The old butler on the side hurriedly asked people to change the cup.

The old man is still very particular.

In fact, people who really understand wine are extremely particular, and wine utensils will affect the taste.

Gin is a scented liquor, and its unique juniper berry aroma is extremely volatile and can only be fully locked in with a pot-bellied balloon glass.

Guan Hao waited for the old lord to change the glass, holding the Colin glass in his hand, which usually drinks whiskey.

Collin's cup of gin drinking is routine.

The old man saw that there were still some hanging gins in the red wine glass, so he hurriedly took them and drank them. Then pick up the wine that has been replaced with a crystal balloon glass.

Seeing this, Guan Hao picked up the wine bottle and added a little to the old man's new cup.

"Haha, the little guy is also a person who understands wine, that's right, just changing the glass has volatilized some of the aroma of the wine, and it really needs to add some wine to increase the fragrance."

A small half glass of wine, although the old man wanted to drink it very much, he still divided it into three small sips and drank it slowly.

Such deliciousness, such enjoyment, the old man seems to go back to his youth, when the Duke of Philips was in high spirits, and he took the initiative to give up the throne that could be inherited, riding the fastest horse, drinking the strongest wine, and having the most powerful and beautiful girlfriend in the world......

In those days, he was the darling of the times.

Now that he is old, his health is in trouble, and he is so old that he wants to drink the gin made at home, and he needs to apply to a private doctor.

But today, seeing the young Xiao Guan Hao so arrogant, he drank two large glasses of spirits in a row, and his face did not change, which reminded the old duke of himself when he was young.

It also made the old man see the future, so the old man strengthened a bold idea deep in his heart before.

The idea had been discussed recently by him and another old fellow.

As long as the wine is drunk in moderation, the old man drank a small glass of gin, and his spirit was even better.

Guan Hao drank a bottle of gin, and he was also refreshed and energetic.

And Luke, who was on the side, drank a glass of gin, his face was flushed, and he couldn't even speak.

The two girls are okay, Obiang, who has been drinking for 75 years, has a red face and looks even more charming.
