Chapter 56: Wealth at the Table
The Lawrence family's dinners were always plentiful.
Urorda, who was thinking about the big things in her clan, kept thinking about how she should talk to the Ravenfeather Prophet before entering, showing that she wasn't here to get in trouble on purpose.
What needs to be said in order to convince the other person that he is not being used, or to convince him that he is not being used.
Oroda herself didn't know how to explain it, but she was trying to figure it out.
When this beautiful elf, who looked mature and cold, approached the gate of the villa, his body clearly felt the heat in front of him!
In front was a warm room and it was hot inside.
Oroda didn't have any curiosity or concern about this, mortals don't have the strong resistance of elves, they are cold at every turn, and hot at every turn.
The mighty Oloda was thinking about when to speak to the Ravenfeather Prophet when the thick heavy curtain in front of her was lifted by two maids.
Two ordinary women opened the curtain of the heat wave, revealing the brilliant lights of the banquet hall inside.
Oroda quickly walked inside, and from that moment on, she stopped thinking about things that felt important.
After entering the house, the thick curtain behind him was gently lowered.
Heat waves hit from all directions, enveloping the skin on the body and face like a tidal wave.
Oloda felt the heat.
Oloda, who was wearing only three pieces of clothing, suddenly felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Soon a strange aroma came from the front.
Witches, especially pure-blood witches, have very sharp noses and tongues and are able to spot scents from kilometers away.
Especially when the distance is close and within line of sight, the sense of smell becomes more acute.
"Distinguished guests, please take a seat." Emma came over to receive Oroda.
Oloda walked over to the table, where Lawrence sat on one side, a rotating table filled with food she'd never seen before.
Both bread and chicken were known, but the way these dishes were prepared dazzled by the way they were made, and the taste and aroma were not as good as those things she used to eat.
Lawrence took the initiative to invite: "Alora, please take a seat, we are eating, welcome to eat together." ”
The maids had already added a pair of dishes, chopsticks, knives and forks, and a chair.
Olota quickly sat down and did not correct Lawrence's strange pronunciation.
Sariel and the others were eating on their own, and no one paid any attention to the new witch.
The nearby dark elf maid was also very indifferent to this elf maid, and did not take the initiative to slap the pure-blood female elf.
The Lawrence family uses rotating plates, because they are all a family, and they all patiently wait for others to finish the dishes before changing the table.
The maids will also replace the leftover plates in time to add new hot soups.
Lawrence wondered what the elf was doing when she came to find her at night.
Soon Lawrence noticed that the young elf was paying attention to the dishes on the table, so he waited patiently.
Oroda is a very good learner, and in just a few tens of seconds, she quickly learned from the women around her a general way to eat and which food is more popular.
With strong control and good physical fitness, Oroda was familiar with the feeling of using chopsticks after just holding them in one hand for a few seconds.
She naturally learned from the rest of the people, and it was very natural for her to pick up vegetables for herself, as if she was one of the people here, and there was no such thing as not being able to hold beans or bones.
Seeing this, Lawrence also ate his own food, and ate his stomach first before anything else.
The first to eat was Sariel, who quickly chatted about the evening while drinking the soup slowly.
"Sophia, can we play cards together after taking a shower? Or go to study? ”
Sophia replied: "I still have to study, and the homework assigned to me by the master has not been completed, and it is estimated that I will be busy until more than nine o'clock." ”
Sariel quickly said, "Then I'll calculate the cost of this month and see how many things I need to prepare for this winter night's month." ”
"Okay." Sophia was almost full, too.
The rest of the people also put down their chopsticks one after another, and only Luo Shanda was still eating slowly.
Loshanda's ability is to burn, and it can quickly digest food in the body, and the amount of food is larger than others.
Lawrence was also full and was drinking hot tea that aided digestion.
Only then did Oloda notice that the meal was over, and quickly said to Lawrence, "I've heard for a long time that there are many sumptuous delicacies here, pancakes, vermicelli, these are delicious!" ”
Lawrence smiled: "What you like to eat will be prepared for you tomorrow, and what you eat today is not these." ”
"I just ate blue silk ice fish, butter plate chicken, white jade sheep soup, rock sugar radish, chicken mushrooms."
Lawrence introduced the names of a few dishes to Oroda, and said, "These five dishes are about three hundred copper coins outside, which can be exchanged for more than a thousand catties of grain." ”
Hearing that she had eaten so much, Oroda quickly said, "I will pay this money, or exchange it for the herbs I have grown, and I have some beautiful gems that I can also take out to pay off my debts." ”
Lawrence smiled unscrupulously when he saw that the female elf was not wealthy.
"It's okay, this is our family's home-cooked food, we usually eat these, and we don't add anything extra just because of your arrival."
"Even if you don't come, we eat these, so it's nothing that you come to share these with us, you don't need to be paid, and I'm happy to entertain a beautiful elf like you."
Oroda breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she didn't have to pay.
At the same time, I thought that these people eat such good and expensive food every day, and every day?!
"Do you eat so much every day? There aren't just five dishes here, it looks like there are more than a dozen. ”
Lawrence said: "There are more than thirty in total, we have been eating for a while before you came, and we usually eat more after work, but I didn't exercise much today so I ate less." ”
Oroda was only half full, still a little dissatisfied, and even more envious when she heard that these people had already eaten.
It's not just 300 copper coins, but it costs thousands of copper coins and eats 10,000 catties of grain every night just to eat here!
30,000 catties a day?! Oloda quickly scared herself out.
At the beginning, for the sake of peace, the Green Forest Kingdom promised to give the compensation to the north was 3,000 baskets of wheat and some forest specialties, but now a dinner is more than 10,000 catties of grain, a day...... Almost a day eats up a country's compensation for a year!!
Oroda was pretty sure that even all the elves of the Elven Royal Family combined couldn't eat so well.
The elf sat a little cramped in her chair, carefully observing the dining table and the various decorations.
Lawrence and the others sat down to chat, and after ten minutes, someone went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After discovering that Oroda didn't look like she was looking for trouble, and that she had no intention of attacking, Lawrence offered the invitation.
"We have a big bathroom here, it's a good treat here, we have to take a bath together every day after eating, do you want to take a bath with us?"
Oloda, who was aware of Lawrence's gaze on her chest and face, was a hundred years old, and knew very well what this invitation meant.
"I'd love to, but I'll be honest with you, I'm still very young among the elves, and I should be a grandmother of a few dozen years old with you, and my daughter and my daughter's daughter are working as maids with you."
Lawrence smiled and said, "I guessed it a long time ago, so please, let's go to the bathroom and have a good chat." ”
"I won't refuse an invitation from a man as good as you." Oloda smiled and stood up, her cloak falling off her body, showing her graceful and holy sensuality.
Just as Lawrence gazed at Oroda's proud body, Olota admired Lawrence's charisma as a man, a powerful and intelligent man who exuded an attraction that fascinated women. (End of chapter)
