Even though she was reluctant, after tasting the New Orleans grilled chicken in front of her, Angela had to admit that this dish was indeed delicious.
Not only that, she actually liked the plate of chili sauce that was served later and had already eaten half of it. The strange, painful and refreshing taste was simply irresistible.
But the more delicious it was, the angrier she felt.
Because these all belong to that dead country rabbit.
Ever since she was little, Angela has always had the best things among her peers.
The Emmanuel family is the richest man in the West, and her father is the head of the Emmanuel family. He dotes on his little daughter infinitely in terms of food and clothing, and he can't wait to give her all the good things.
This has also developed Angela's current arrogant and arrogant character to a certain extent. What she can't bear the most is that someone has something better than her.
And not long ago, a batch of peppercorns of amazing quality suddenly appeared in Blackstone City.
These peppercorns immediately attracted the attention of the Emanuel family, and after some investigation, they successfully found the sellers behind them - the Arias family of Green Field.
And the investigation of the Emanuel family ends here.
Although Arias is not a wealthy family, it is undoubtedly a powerful force in the Western Territory, and the Figuerola family protects it. The Emmanuel family cannot fall out with the Arias family just for some pepper.
Although the pepper was once sold to sky-high prices, the quantity was limited after all, and Ilea was restricted by Li Yu to sell it only once every twenty days. This also gave the Emmanuel family a judgment that Ilea had on hand
There isn't much inventory either.
As for tax evasion, many nobles actually do it secretly and through middlemen. Even if you find out which company the goods come from, it is difficult to find definite evidence.
Moreover, the Emmanuel family is not willing to quarrel with other nobles over such matters, and usually turns a blind eye.
So as usual, Theodosius, the head of the Emmanuel family, threw the matter aside.
But he didn't expect that he had forgotten this matter, but his daughter had not forgotten it.
Yes, Ilea guessed it right, but not completely.
The matter this time was indeed related to the pepper she had sold earlier, but rather than saying that the Emmanuel family was targeting her, it was more that Angela had made her own decision.
The eldest daughter of the Emmanuel family, who is favored by thousands of people, took the initiative to attend the banquet on behalf of her father. She wanted to find out the true source of the pepper, and then bypass the Arias family and directly establish a long-term trade with the opposite party.
relation.
But after a cordial exchange with the new head of the Arias family outside the castle, Angela had already forgotten her original purpose. Now she just couldn't bear to see a certain dead rabbit.
Not to mention that guy kept quarreling in front of her.
He deliberately pinched a piece of chicken and kept shaking it in front of her face. After finishing the meal, he pointed at Angela's plate and asked with a smile, "Is it enough? There is more, don't be brave... After tonight, what do you want?"
I can’t eat anymore.”
Angela's anger suddenly surged up. She pushed the plate forward and said angrily, "What's the big deal? Roast chicken is just food for the common people. No matter how delicious it is, it can't be put on the table."
!”
She was completely pissed off. Unlike before, the element of anger this time was obviously more serious. It sounded no different from cheating.
But instead of being angry when Ilea heard this, she grinned with a stern smile.
Seeing that smile, Angela suddenly started to panic, although she didn't know what she said wrong.
Miss Rabbit had already snapped her fingers, "Very good, I'm just waiting for your words, otherwise this banquet will not be enjoyable."
After saying that, she didn't need anyone to remind her. She continued, "Someone, bring up the Great Wall wine collected by the Arias family and open the eyes of this country bumpkin."
How could you not slap the face that came to your door?!
Soon the waiter brought the two bottles of wine.
Just the exquisite glass bottle and the label on the bottle dazzled the nobles and amazed them.
However, Li Yu also made some mistakes this time. He only remembered to bring red wine to Miss Rabbit, but he forgot to give her a bottle opener.
As a result, the waiter struggled there for a long time and failed to pour the wine out of the bottle. Finally, the new manager Yago had an idea, pulled out the knife from his waist, and cut off the top of the bottle with one knife.
And he didn't know that his knife also struck Ilea's heart.
This bottle is so beautiful. Miss Rabbit originally wanted to pick up the empty bottle and sell it for money after she finished drinking. Why can't she sell it for hundreds of gold coins? Now it's better. With one knife, at least half of the money is gone.
Ilea, who had always been diligent and thrifty, felt a sudden pain in her heart, but she still acted nonchalant on the surface and waved her hand, asking the waiter to quickly pour the wine.
At the same time, he glared at Yago. Unfortunately, the latter took office too short and failed to understand the spirit. He raised his knife and clicked another bottle of red wine. The last nobleman present shared a small glass of dry red wine.
.
After several surprises in the past, this time no one dared to underestimate the Arias family's treasures.
First I glanced at the red wine in the glass, and my eyes were quickly attracted by the beautiful color.
Every nobleman on the continent of Bratis drinks wine, and there are wineries all over the south. The grapes produced are even famous overseas, so everyone here has drank a lot of good wine.
But no one has ever seen such pure wine pulp. There is no impurity in it, and the color is bright red but not turbid, just like red silk.
It’s so beautiful! Many people don’t even want to drink it.
Someone put the wine glass under their nose, took a light sniff, and was immediately intoxicated by the rich fruity aroma inside.
Oh my god, is this really what wine can smell like?
You must know that no matter how good the wine is on the Bratis continent, it is difficult to completely eliminate the sour smell, and even some spices have to be added to cover up the sour taste. How can there be such a fragrant and mellow taste?
Shake the cup a little, and the aroma inside will overflow from the cup.
As for the taste...it's a bit strange. When you first drink it, you can barely notice any sweetness, and it's even a little bitter, but it has an inexplicable refreshing feeling. It tastes very smooth, with a long and layered aftertaste.
It’s a great wine without a doubt!
Angela's face was as pale as a blank sheet of paper. She knew that she had lost again, and she had been slapped in the face three times in a row. At this moment, she felt like the dwarfs who were performing hard in the hall. The meaning of existence
Just for people to laugh at.
Now, whenever the eldest lady of the Emmanuel family hears the slightest laughter or whispers around her, she feels that the other person is ridiculing her. She becomes restless, and finally she can't bear it anymore, and bursts into tears, and then
He actually covered his face and ran away from the banquet hall.
