Chapter 104 Crack, Catch, Catch
"Sparrow pie? Well, there is indeed such a dish." Leo said, "Last time, a sparrow flew out and landed in His Majesty the Emperor's wine glass."
Angela exclaimed, and then said sympathetically, "Then is Your Majesty angry and punishing the cook?"
"No, His Majesty was already very drunk at that time and did not notice anything strange in the wine glass. However, a few ministers noticed it, but no one dared to speak, because when the king drinks wine, the most annoying thing is The thing is, you get interrupted, no matter what your reasons are," Leo said.
"So my uncle raised the glass of spiked wine and drank it in front of all the guests. After putting the glass down, he said, I seem to have eaten grape seeds."
Angela giggled at this royal anecdote, and at the end she did not forget to add, "The capital is great, there are so many new things every day, unlike us in the West, which are always so dull and boring. Even if you go Attending banquets are all the same and boring.”
Miss Rabbit almost lost her breath when she heard this and wanted to have a fit.
But Fausto, who was not far away, winked at her desperately and finally endured it.
Now, unlike when I was outside the castle, I was basically surrounded by people from both families. Any conflicts were between the Arias family and the Emmanuel family.
If she really quarreled with Angela in front of so many people, the matter would probably become a big deal, and as the host, no matter what happened, it would not look good to scold the guests in front of them.
If word spreads, it will probably bring bad reputation to the Arias family, and even fewer people will come to any banquet held in the future.
So Miss Rabbit could only pretend not to hear Angela's sarcasm, and sullenly ate the plate of carrot stewed mutton in front of her.
However, when Leo heard this, he said, "Forgive me for disagreeing, but I think the Western Region is much more interesting than the King's Capital."
"Really, what's interesting? Why didn't I know?" Angela looked a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that she could slap the horse's leg with her flattery.
Leo wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Take something I encountered not long ago. Someone actually had a way to record other people's voices, and then play back the recorded voices. ...No one in the capital can do this kind of thing.”
"You should be talking about the foreigner in black clothes who appeared on the day the Arias family elected the head of the family." Someone quickly realized and nodded, "What happened that day was indeed surprising."
"It's incredible. I always thought it was just a rumor, but you must have been there that day, Sir Leo," another person said.
"It's not a rumor. It wasn't just me, there were hundreds of people there," Leo said. "We all heard about the guy from the Arias family... it was Antonio. What he said was repeated over and over again, but He didn't speak at all at that time."
There was a small uproar in the dining room.
“It’s actually true!”
"Yes, since Sir Leo personally testified, it proves that there is something true."
"That was really a strange thing. It's a pity that I wasn't there at that time, otherwise I would have witnessed this magical scene with my own eyes."
The nobles all agreed, and some expressed regret.
"It doesn't matter, because you can see the real owner tonight." Leo raised his glass.
He just saw Li Yu walking in from the door, but he didn't sit down. After hearing their discussion, he went out again.
Fortunately, he came back not long after and found a seat in the corner to sit down.
Leo scratched his head, thinking of an excuse to get rid of the nobles around him, and went over to talk to the mysterious foreigner in black clothes. However, he saw several attendants coming in from the outside, holding silver coins with exquisite patterns in their hands. plate.
The attendants walked straight to the guests, put down the silver plate, and then opened the lid.
After seeing what was on the plate, everyone looked startled.
Perhaps because she was embarrassed by Leo's face-to-face refutation, Angela decided to get it back with a certain rabbit.
At this moment, he was continuing to complain that the dishes at the banquet were too ordinary, the mutton stew was too bland, and the broth was spoiled by radishes.
However, she had said these words once before, and the repetition made her feel weak. Now she was short of new ingredients. Seeing that another dish was served, she couldn't help but feel happy, but soon she frowned.
She didn't expect that the new head of the Arias family would actually come up with something new for her that she had never seen before.
To be precise, there are two things on the plate, one is round and flat, and the other is long and strip-shaped, both with a transparent skin on the outside.
I can’t tell what ingredients it is made of.
After a long silence, someone stretched out his hand, grabbed the round and flat one, put it to his mouth and tried to lick it, but quickly put it down again, and said truthfully, "It doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good."< br>
Angela's frown suddenly relaxed a lot. She breathed a long sigh of relief and regained her previous sense of superiority. She smiled and said, "This is just pretending to be fat. You obviously don't have the ability to cook new dishes. But if you have to imitate other rich people’s pretense, it will only make you laugh more.”
Before she could finish her words, she heard a crunching sound, and then she saw a man in weird clothes at the other end of the long table, chewing on the round thing on the plate.
And his mouth continued to make that kind of crunching sound.
It's strange to say that there was no exaggerated expression on the man's face, he was just chewing the things on the plate silently, but the crackling sound seemed to have some kind of magic power, stirring the excitement of everyone sitting there. Taste buds.
It made many people swallow their saliva involuntarily.
But the one who moves the fastest is Leo. Ever since Li Yu appeared, his attention has been completely attracted by every move of this foreigner in black clothes. At this time, he imitated Li Yu's movements and tore open the snow. The plastic packaging on the cake made the same clicking sound when you bit into it.
Then he gave a thumbs up and praised, "It's delicious!"
With the correct demonstration, the others started to remove the transparent film on the round cake and tasted the puffed food inside.
Suddenly there was a loud clicking sound in the banquet hall.
Others drew inferences and ate the senbei next to the snow cake, and then exclaimed, "This tastes different, but it is also delicious!"
"But I still prefer the round one!"
"No, the bar shape is the best!"
Everyone was arguing, but Angela looked increasingly anxious as she looked at the snow cake and senbei on her plate. (End of chapter)
