Arriving at the Earl's Court, Count Marceau was waiting for him in his study in civilian clothes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing Zhang Ang come in, Count Marceau said: "Sophie will be back tomorrow, and she will arrive at noon, isn't your 'hotel' almost done, you prepare carefully, and give Sophie a good reception." ”

"Okay, I'll do it. Zhang Ang hurriedly agreed.

"Wait until you go to the housekeeper to get a sum of money, be sure to give me a beautiful reception banquet, I have already sent out invitations, don't embarrass me." Marceau reinstructed, after all.

Zhang Ang also agreed again and again.

After squirming for a while, Zhang Ang still asked the question that he had buried in his heart for a long time: "Lord Earl, there is one thing I don't understand very well. Why would you be willing to marry Miss Sophie to me, my family is in the middle of the road, and my strength is not good, except for making some food and making some money, there should be nothing special. There are many people in the city who are nobler than me, better than me, and stronger than me, so why don't you choose the right one for your lordship? ”

Count Marceau's voice immediately cooled: "What, do you want to regret the marriage?"

Zhang Ang thought of the poor lord who was photographed as a pig's head during the big competition, and quickly explained: "Of course not, I couldn't be more satisfied with this marriage contract, but because the status difference between the two parties is too big, I feel a little inferior." ”

Count Marceau's voice softened slightly: "Oh, that's right, I thought you wanted to learn from Lord Troplo, you don't have to worry about this, as long as you can satisfy Sophie, I will definitely support you." As for the question of status, I have a daughter of Sophie, and she will definitely inherit the title in the future, you are the noble earl's husband, you just need to stay in the mansion and raise the offspring well for our Marceau family, and don't think much about the rest. ”

Zhang Ang couldn't help but feel very discouraged: this Count Marceau seemed to have made up his mind to marry his daughter to him, and it seemed that his chastity in his previous life and this life was going to be cheapened by a sturdy Yanma.

According to Zhang Ang's observation, the women who are successful in all martial arts in this world are all with big shoulders and round waists, knotted muscles, infinite strength, and fierce temperament, which is no worse than men at all.

And since Count Marceau has identified his daughter as the heir and sent him to the famous Rose Sword School in France for further study, this Miss Sophie must look similar to the Miss Bodybuilding of the World he saw in his previous life, and she must be strong in martial arts.

If such a real woman is strong against herself, she will definitely not be able to resist, do you want to hide in the corner of the wall like she played on TV, put a knife on her neck, and shout to the strong woman: "If you take another step forward, I will die for you!"

When Zhang Ang thought of such a scene, he felt a headache. But his entire net worth and all his inheritance are in Luntu City, and he can't resist Count Marceau at all, so now he has to take one step at a time.

With the 20,000 gold francs given by the butler, Zhang Ang took his leave and left the Earl's Court.

Since Count Marceau decided to hold a reception banquet in his hotel, and invited all the nobles in the city, Zhang Ang decided to take advantage of such a good opportunity and strive to make the reputation of the Golden Bull Hotel an instant hit.

And now that he has money in his hands, this banquet will naturally be extremely luxurious, high-end, foreign, and high-grade, and the banquet level of the entire Luntu City will be raised to a higher level.

The first thing is to choose a banquet hall, Zhang Ang chose the banquet hall of the "Moon Pavilion", this hall is not only spacious and bright, but also the decoration theme is very comfortable and warm, which is very compatible with the theme of the city lord's daughter going home.

Then it is to create an atmosphere of the banquet, the first decoration is flowers, the family of the Count Marceau is the owner of the largest flower field in the city, the rose perfume produced by the Marceau family has been selling well all over the continent, with the help of the Marceau housekeeper, the Marceau family brought a large number of fresh flowers overnight, decorating the entire venue.

The second is music, this aristocratic party, inevitably have a little dance, Zhang Ang sent people on fast horses, day and night to invite the most famous musicians, bands and bards in the neighborhood.

The third is the utensils, in addition to the modern European-style tableware, candlesticks, tables and chairs made of heavy money, there are also exotic wool carpets, and a roll of long custom-made red carpets, which can be spread all the way from the "Moon Pavilion" to the outside of the hotel.

There are also serving male and female servants, each of which has been targeted and strengthened according to this banquet. Each of them is required to remember the appearance preferences of all the nobles attending the banquet, and adopt the policy of "one eye on one", so that every nobleman who participates in this banquet has a special service staff, of course, some specially marked local tyrants or important nobles enjoy the special service of many people.

Finally, and most crucially, of course, is the delicious food at the banquet, which is personally responsible for Zhang Ang.

Zhang Ang decided to make it a buffet format, with a huge long table between the venues, and a few smaller ones next to it, so that it could be easily removed after the meal and used as a dance venue.

Zhang Ang decided on the menu of the dinner, so he went to the market to order a large number of fresh and fatty ingredients, and asked them to send them all to the Jinniu Hotel. These ingredients have to go through Zhang Ang's strict pre-treatment, some have to be pickled, some have to be matured, some have to be smoked, and some have to be fermented. For every way to deal with it, Zhang Ang has to teach those young and beautiful cooks hand in hand.

One of the most important is to process the wine, and the most common wines on the continent are barley wine and wine, which are sold in large oak barrels and sold by special wineries, which are simply poured out and drunk. In Zhang Ang's opinion, this is very stupid.

These first wines are not only turbid, but also have different tastes and low degrees, so they are really not good wines.

What Zhang Ang has to do is to do the second treatment of the wine bought from the winery.

The first step is filtration, in which all the wine is poured out by variety and filtered with gauze several times to minimize residue in the liquor.

The second step is steaming, in which the filtered liquor is steamed to remove excess water, increase the alcohol content, and enhance the taste of the liquor.

The third step is to let it settle to remove some fine suspended residues from the wine, and then remove the floating foam on the wine to make the wine clear and clean.

After these three parts, the barley wine turns an attractive tan and the wine turns a mellow rose red. It's completely different from the strange and cloudy colors of the past.

Zhang Ang then took out a part of the distilled liquor distilled during the cooking of the liquor, added various fruit juices, and made cocktails of various colors and flavors, and the processing of the liquor was completed.

Although the family of Count Marceau helped him, Zhang Ang was busy until the middle of the night to make all the preparations so that he could catch up on his sleep.

By the next day, everything was ready, just waiting for Miss Sophie, whom she had never met, to arrive.
