Now that the momentum at the beginning was interrupted, Grand Duke Kawei did not intend to do anything straight to the point. Instead, he showed the style of a noble and used various social and entertainment techniques. Anyway, the opposite party also had his own people to arrange it.
The response to the incident is not too outrageous.
Of course, the main reason for using these communicative techniques is because it is already evening, and it will be dinner time in a little while. Before setting off in the morning, the butler serving the Marquis has been notified, so they should be prepared in advance.
But to be responsible for feeding so many people, I'm afraid it will take some manpower and some time.
Talking about things on an hungry stomach will easily lead to quarrels. This is Kawei Gong’s life experience. In the past, when he didn’t want to talk things through, he would come hungry, or let his guests be hungry too. Usually in
Under such circumstances, if the matter can still be negotiated, he will look at the person opposite and keep such talents in his heart.
We didn’t come here just to quarrel, so it’s not advisable to go hungry. The best time to talk is after eating and drinking, and during tea time. People are most relaxed at that time, and things are much easier to talk about.
This is of course also based on experience.
In addition to hosting balls for nobles, the grand banquet hall in the West Building can also accommodate nearly a hundred people dining at the same time with a long table. Although it is impossible to let in all the people from the Duke's Guard, it should not be a problem to allow those with noble titles to attend.
More than a dozen servants from the Grand Duke's family, including two deacons, were almost all dispatched to prepare for this 'banquet'. They even refused to let Vana, who was originally a servant in this family, help. After all, Vana
He's just a civilian and has never seen such a big battle.
Besides, when they were sent to this home, they were holding back their breath and wanted to perform. This does not mean that they hoped to be transferred back to the Grand Duke's castle. They were sent to serve the Marquis Balan, and their performance was good or bad.
Whether the family is good or bad, even if it does not bring honor to the master, it must not be shameful. This is a family that has been serving the nobles for generations as servants, and it is not an ambition to be humane to outsiders.
But before today, when staying in this magician's home, they had nothing to do except prepare three meals and clean the environment. It seems that the work has become easier, but the mental burden is much greater.
Look at the people in this family. The Lich who was once the Demon King, an old black dragon. No matter how old it is, it is not something that a mortal can resist. There is also the scourge of the empire, the Demon Prince Azad... everyone
Who doesn't live their lives with fear, for fear that no one will be happy?
Today, a large-scale banquet of noble rank was finally held. Although it was not entertaining foreign guests, but relatives coming from afar, no one wanted to hear a word of blame or even a word of criticism. So they all tried their best to make sure
Do it to perfection.
Finally, under the leadership of the Archdeacon, everyone worked together to prepare a feast that could be enjoyed by hundreds of people during dinner time. Together with the fine wine, the long table was filled.
Although the presentation style of this large amount of delicacies is still the Midi style, or to be more precise, the aristocratic style banquet of the Gwana Empire. But the dishes served are completely different.
Since they came to this home about half a year ago, they had a arrogant attitude. They thought that from a noble family, even if they were just servants, they had a better vision of food than many magicians. Therefore, they ensured that the Marquise had a good diet.
For safety reasons, they almost occupied the entire kitchen.
Except for the lich who only ate food made by two magic apprentices, even the magician ate delicacies secretly passed down from the Grand Duke's family. They were quite proud of this.
As for noble attendants, they are not unfamiliar with the attitude of lichs. There are many nobles who are afraid of death and are not the cooks or servants they trust. They don't even drink water. Maybe the lich has the same habit.
Until one night, the two magic apprentices made a very strong-smelling dish called 'Curry' as a midnight snack. The Marquise who had tasted it was unwilling to eat the food they made at all, and even called it 'Pig' Food'.
This statement came from the mouth of the magician. But he believed that as long as it is food, it cannot be wasted. Anyway, the daily needs are just nutrients to maintain body functions, so there is no need for any food. No matter how difficult it is, Eat, just eat it all and then poop it out.
Without comparison, there is no harm. This also came from that person's mouth. Anyway, the Marquise was not willing to eat the food they made, and the two magic apprentices could not serve their group of servants. In the end, the Grand Duke specially sent , a chef who serves his granddaughter and specializes in all kinds of delicacies, is reduced to cooking for everyone who is also a servant.
Not to mention that the chef himself cannot accept this result, if the grand duke knew about it, the noble man would probably not be able to accept it either. And the anger of a nobleman is not something that small families like them that are attached to it can bear. So it is still unacceptable. What can I do? I want to save my face and humbly ask for advice. Anyway, as a chef, it is my duty to learn more dishes. Not to mention, it is really delicious...
I didn’t know if I didn’t ask for advice. After asking for advice, I found out that I was the one who was the frog in the well. What particularly shocked the chef and the deacon was that the two magic apprentices added spices that were worth gold, as if they didn’t need money. They couldn’t help but complain privately. , if they can also sprinkle spices for free, the food they make will be delicious.
But this perception was soon overturned. The two magic apprentices knew so many types of cooking and methods that it made people wonder whether they were really magic apprentices, rather than professional cooks. The spices were not spread wildly. Just sprinkle it, and the food will be delicious. But it depends on the taste of the food itself, the cooking method, and then learn from each other's strengths to make a truly delicious dish.
Today's banquet should have been prepared with the original cooking methods without making any mistakes. At least the Grand Duke would not be in the dilemma of not having anything to eat just because he didn't like new flavors, even though there was a whole table of food.
However, under the strong request of Marquis Balan, they could only serve the newly learned dishes. Otherwise, the family owner would rather starve to death than go back to eating pig food. They would not be able to open a small stove or really let this person eat. They starved to death. It is estimated that if the Marquis de Balan said she was hungry, she would be arrested and tortured by the Grand Duke as to why he was starving his granddaughter.
Now, these newly learned dishes were finally served to the table. The butler in charge watched with an uneasy attitude as the Grand Duke tried these new foods with a puzzled expression on his face from a distance.
In fact, it's not just the Grand Duke, but all the members of the Duke's Guard who are present are the same. Although the fish is the same fish and the meat is still the same meat, they use different methods to make food that is both delicious and delicious. The rest is to muster up the courage, Just come to try the taste.
At first, someone was determined to serve generously and picked up a piece of meat with a fork. He still closed his eyes and stuffed it into his mouth. In the end, everyone was grabbing food frantically and giving their mouths to
The food was so stuffed that he was afraid of eating less than others. Even the Grand Duke was not exempt from this habit, because the food was so delicious that he almost chewed it off his tongue.
As for the old man's original destination, it seemed that it had been thrown out of mind and completely forgotten.
