It was the first time for Wang Yong to participate in such a luxurious and formal banquet, and he couldn't help but feel a little restrained, but fortunately, Zach had a two-skinned face, and the two and Amy relaxed after chatting for a while.

When Wang Yong and Zack were in a good mood, the banquet finally officially began, and I saw that under Stephanie's nod, a variety of seafood that had been carefully cooked was served to a round table by the maids, and the unique umami taste of seafood immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Looking at the red crabs, the hard conch, the various shellfish with big mouths, and the lobsters with teeth and claws, most of the people present have never seen it, but they just smell the fragrance, but they don't know how to eat these hard-looking things.

Moreover, most people were very puzzled as to why there was a copper pot on the table, although the air conditioner provided by the seaside lord in the banquet hall helped lower the temperature, but the heat emitted by the boiling soup in the copper pot still made them frown.

As the maids brought delicious dishes to the table, the topic of discussion changed, and they were almost all talking about things that had never been seen before on the table, and some people even called the maids to ask why the uncooked raw meat slices and various vegetables were brought directly, and the maids did not know very well, so everyone had to wait to see what Queen Stephanie had to say.

Unlike the nobles in the banquet hall, the seaside chefs Derek and Elijah, who were in the back kitchen of the palace, were commanding the palace chefs to cook all kinds of seafood in the simplest way.

Of course, there are many talented people among these imperial chefs, and they also come up with a lot of complex and exquisite cooking methods, but they are all rejected by the two mountain cannon level seaside chefs to maintain the original umami, but these two guys who have not seen much of the world secretly wrote down the methods that these imperial chefs said, and prepared to try them after they go back.

The Seaside Province spared no effort for this dinner, not only providing a sufficient amount of various seafood, but also the chefs of the Seaside Province came to help. Like Monkey and other guys who used to do chores under Derek and Elijah. Now he is also in charge, directing several imperial chefs dressed in neat and luxurious chef clothes to clean all kinds of seafood, especially all kinds of marine fish, which are cleaner than their faces.

The imperial chefs in the palace were originally a little reluctant for Her Majesty the Empress to let them listen to the orders of these wild cooks who looked like thieves, because whether it was Derek, Elijah or the cooks under them, they were all dressed and buried, and their tone and attitude were extremely arrogant, and they couldn't understand the various high-end cooking methods they were talking about, so. The imperial chefs felt that it was an insult to themselves to listen to the command of these wild chefs who didn't know where they came from.

However, when Derek and Elijah showed their mastery of gluten making, intentionally or unintentionally, these high-eyed chefs calmed their dissatisfaction a little.

When the seafood that smelled fishy just now exuded an attractive fragrance after being simply processed in salt water, these imperial chefs who had not been in contact with these delicious dishes due to geographical reasons couldn't help but let go of the arrogance in their hearts, lowered their posture and humbly learned from the seaside chefs.

Because they also know very well that since Her Majesty the Empress invited these people to come over, and specially ordered these so-called seafood, then in the future, they will definitely continue to come into contact with these ingredients. If you can learn more, in order to get the queen's commendation, and get a promotion to your position, it will be just around the corner, so. Durek and Elijah became the focal point of the kitchen.

Derek and Elijah and others were also very kind, and after squeezing their eyebrows and receiving various benefits, they told these inquisitive imperial chefs about their immature experience one by one, for a while. The atmosphere in the back kitchen becomes cheerful.

After informing the chefs of the properties and unique tastes of the seafood, Derek and Elijah gathered all their subordinates and counted the bribes they had received. I'm going to hand over the provincial treasures and the lord who is extremely picky when I go back.

These are all said before they came, Wang Yong, who was born at the bottom, knows very well that as long as Derek and they show their understanding of these seafood, those imperial chefs who want to be on top or hold their status will not hesitate to bribe heavily in order to grasp the opportunity, so Wang Yong, the shameless lord, also deliberately took the time to hold a meeting for these cooks, teaching them how to extort more benefits at the same time, he also shamelessly offered a clear real price, and divided the bribes in a hierarchical way of five, three, and two. (The territory is divided into five layers, Wang Yong is divided into three layers, and the cooks are divided into two layers.) ）

Originally, Derek and other cooks were still very dissatisfied with this distribution plan, thinking that Wang Yong's goods were too dark, but until they counted the bribes they received and roughly calculated their 'huge' share, the eyes of these cooks who had never seen much of the world turned green, and the little dissatisfaction before also dissipated with the wind, replaced by admiration for Wang Yong's interpersonal relationships, and gratitude to Wang Yong for giving them this opportunity to make a fortune.

After preliminary statistics, a total of twenty chefs came to the seashore this time, and the total value of the bribes they received together exceeded two thousand gold coins, that is to say, after paying the agreed tax, they were able to get four hundred gold coins, which surprised these mountain guns that the imperial chefs were rich in money At the same time, they all grinned vigorously and smirked when they made a windfall.

As the maids continued to weave through the banquet hall, soon the tables were filled with dishes, but everyone did not move, but looked at Empress Stephanie in unison, waiting for her pre-dinner speech.

Stephanie stood up, bowed her head and whispered, "Thank you for coming, and thank you to the lord of the seaside province, Count Ivan, for providing the ingredients, I believe you can't wait to taste these delicious foods, and I, the empress, will not be long-winded, everyone, please enjoy the delicious food of the sea." After speaking, Stephanie sat down with a smile, motioned to the maid next to her to clip the largest conch opposite to her plate, and glanced at Wang Yong with a proud face, because she knew that Wang Yong liked to eat conch, and had been staring at the biggest conch for a while, so Stephanie would be the first to bring the biggest conch, planning to see Wang Yong's stingy appearance.
