Chapter 264 Star Dew(1/2)

After Princess Rupert finished speaking, she picked up a golden bell with her delicate hands. At the same time, she turned around and asked the middle-aged craftsman behind her: "Achilles, I have also arranged a seat for you. Do you want to take a rest?"

This was the first time that Fang Yu knew the name of the middle-aged craftsman. It seems that the middle-aged craftsman had never introduced himself in front of them, or it was out of humility. Achilles smiled slightly and replied in a mellow voice:

"No need, please allow me to stand beside you, Your Highness Princess."

Princess Rupert smiled tenderly and looked at him with affectionate eyes.

She turned back and gently shook the golden bell in her hand. The servants filed in again, holding silver plates on their heads and presenting seven or eight dishes.

Various types of roasted meats, lambs and beef, several rare species of poultry, and three fish from different regions of Kaulin-Ithurion, including a silver trout, a sturgeon, and a small tailed perch; grilled until golden.

Golden, the surface is cut with a silver knife, criss-crossed, a layer of shiny oil oozes out under the scorch fire, the flesh is plump and even, the tender meat is fluffy, and it is piled with different types of nuts, grains and spices.

A bunch of emerald green pine branches are placed on the tip, the colors are bright and mouth-watering.

There is also a stew. In the black porcelain basin are uniformly sized pieces of meat, just like amber. In the thick broth, pepper, frankincense, cinnamon, ginger, carrots and onions are added for seasoning. Then add chickpeas

With safflower, pour it with bitter orange and lemon juice, sprinkle with chopped almonds, and put a small bunch of mint leaves.

There are also several desserts, which are dairy products soaked in honey, camel milk, goat milk or fermented products, placed on a thick layer of crushed ice, with mist curling up. A few dry flour cakes, crispy bread, fried

to golden grains.

There is also a kind of naan, which is a local staple food called 'shavara', which is a wheat roll stuffed with turkey, beef and Istanian flat fish, several different types of nuts, vegetables, sauces and hawksbills.

Refried beans.

Cut half of the mushrooms into half, roast them until they are brown, and put them on one side of the plate as a decoration, which is also a local custom. Mushrooms do not grow in Istania, and all fungi are flown from Kaolin via aerospace ships.

It will only appear at royal banquets.

There is also wine. Istania is famous for its wine. The golden color is as bright and dreamy as the morning sun, which is the local gin. The blue color is like the color of the sea of ​​clouds and the sky, which is a kind of moonlight wine.

There is also the drunken red, hazy grape wine, which is synonymous with Istania, and its refreshing taste is also very different from its similar namesake on earth.

It is said that many gluttonous drinkers from the earth come here just to taste this legendary wine.

But large and small silver plates and crystal cups all guard a huge gold cup with precious stones in the center. The changing sunlight passes through the grid windows, making the luxurious gold cup shine with dazzling light.

The water contained inside is just like flowing gold liquid, exuding a mottled brilliance and swirling around.

Fang Plover's first sight was attracted by the gem gold cup, but Princess Rupert did not introduce it, and seemed to have forgotten her previous words.

She just asked the servants to place the plates for them one by one, and introduced them one by one to the origins of these Istanian delicacies in a soft and slow tone.

But even the most common dishes have extraordinary origins——

The lamb was specially raised in the royal garden of Penelope, and she specially asked her servant to bring it from Qashm.

The beef comes from Alkhanli, which is rich in blood beef that is as beautiful as rubies and is said to have a mellow and sweet taste - it is not only in Istania, but also in Kaolin-Ishulian.

'A distinguished guest'.

The price is even more expensive——

Fish and exotic birds are all flown in from various places via aerospace ships - silver trout comes from El Pasin, almost a thousand miles away, while small tail bass and sturgeon come from the coast of Iban and Baozhan respectively.

Princess Rupert told them in an understatement.

Before the food is slaughtered, it must be kept fresh, otherwise it will be discarded. It may be an exaggeration to say that one out of ten is not saved, but based on the preservation conditions of Aitaria, one out of two or three can meet the requirements after a long journey.

The request is also a blessing.

That’s it for small tail bass and sturgeon, but silver trout is extremely expensive in Istania.

Fang Yu was secretly shocked, thinking that this was too extravagant.

"Please use."

There was no food in front of Princess Rupert. She only raised her hands and spoke softly to everyone.

The low tone and rustling voice seem to penetrate into people's hearts.

Others also felt a little more or less cautious, especially when they thought that this meal might require the consumption of thousands of Istanian double-sided anchor gold coins - which is almost equivalent to six figures of Risel.

Only the noble daughters Ai Xiaoxiao and Tian Lan could still remain calm.

There is also a papalar and a chest.

The former drooled all over the floor, picked up the knife and fork with gleaming eyes - no matter what kind of meat it was, he just stuffed it into his mouth, and after a while his cheeks bulged up like a hamster.

The little fat man even picked up a piece of fruit while chewing it, and took a bite with a 'wow' sound. The food looked inelegant and was simply breathtaking.

Even Atila frowned.

The box was another extreme. This guy was actually picking at the nuts on the plate with a knife, driving them from east to west, and then doing it all over again.

With great interest, as if it was something new and exciting.

Fortunately, the host here didn't mind at all, but showed a look of satisfaction, as if the guest's satisfaction was her honor as the host.

Fang Plover was a little preoccupied, so he only tasted every dish before stopping.

What he liked most was the stew - when the amber meat pieces were gently bitten open, the aroma mixed with the meat juices bloomed in the mouth full and evenly, like a stream of melting heat, sweet and delicious,

All flow straight into the depths of my heart.

His brows stretched and he couldn't help but look surprised.

Princess Rupert seemed to be aware of this detail and said: "This is the meat of the sand dragon, Mr. Ed."

With a puff, Ai Xiaoxiao almost spit out the meat in her mouth, choked the soup from her nose, and coughed to death. Tang Xin quickly put down her knife and fork and patted her back with her hand.

She said angrily: "Are you seeking death?"

"No, it's not." Ai Xiaoxiao said with tears.

Fang Plover looked at the pieces of meat on the plate and then asked: "Is it the giant sandworm that people often call it?"

Princess Rupert nodded: "This is the meat from its midsection, which is also the meatiest and fattest part. In recent years, hunters have been catching less and less of it, and this kind of meat has become more and more precious in the market."

With a clank, the knife and fork in Tianlan's hand fell on the plate, and her face turned from white to green: "Sand, sandworm?"

"Sandosaurus is a chordate, and sandworm is just a name we give it. In fact, it is more reasonable to call it giant sand snake. Biologists even gave it a new category, the suborder Salamandera," Jita answered.

Said: "So it's not much different from the beef and mutton we usually eat."

"This lady is really knowledgeable." Princess Rupert praised.

Tianlan's face looked better now.

Parker wiped his mouth and asked, "Don't you French people even eat snails?"

"That's them, not me!" Tianlan said angrily.



The little incident at the dinner table passed quickly.

After tasting each dish and dessert, the servants served tea, and everyone was satisfied.

Even someone who claimed that being able to eat four portions of food was a racial talent of the Papalar people also patted his belly and claimed that he could not eat any more.

But the big cat man, Etila, put down her knife and fork and looked at each other with Fang Plover. Sylvide also seemed very quiet. Obviously, everyone understood that this banquet had just begun.

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the center of the banquet. The servants had served them every dish before, except for the precious gold cup in the center. Thinking of what Princess Rupert said before, the contents of the cup should have something to do with it.

That's right.

Sure enough, Princess Rupert clapped her hands again after they finished their meal, and another servant came up to remove the plates for them.

After all the leftovers were removed one by one, only the shining golden cup was left in the hall. As a result, not only Fang Plover, Aitila and the big cat man, but also other people's eyes could not help but look at it.

Attracted to the past.

Princess Rupert said softly: "I said before that the most delicious delicacy in Istania is what is in this cup."

Although some people in the crowd had already thought of it, including Fang Plover, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The Papalar people even complained: "Shouldn't the most delicious delicacies be served as main dishes? Now we are almost full, and we can't eat even a little bit of the most delicious delicacies."

"You are the only one who is full, Parker." Tian Lan hit him.

"In short, shouldn't the master fulfill his duty of reminder?"

Princess Rupert smiled slightly: "Generally speaking, that's the case, but what's in the cup is something extraordinary. Usually the most delicious delicacies are placed on the main course, but what's in the cup is placed here."

The time is just right.”

"What? But my stomach is almost bursting," Parker said.

"Please be patient, Mr. Parker. You will know after tasting it."

As she spoke, she motioned for the servant to come forward.

The servant carefully picked up the gold cup. Another servant had already placed a smaller gold cup in front of Fang Plover. The former brought the gold cup to him and tilted the mouth of the cup slightly.

A line of gold liquid reflected the flickering afternoon sun, like molten gold, gurgling into his cup until it was completely full, without even a drop being spilled.

"Mr. Ed, please taste it."

Princess Rupert's voice is slightly more ethereal.

Fang Yu picked up the cup, hesitated, and took a sip. But it was like there was an invisible magic force that prompted him to hold up the bottom of the cup and drink it all in one gulp. Before he could even react, a wisp of
