Chapter 11 Dinner and Girls
116 Face Street
The entrance to the Carl family mansion.
Li Si, who was wearing a black evening dress, got off the carriage. The waiters on the side rushed to greet him and led Li Si to the main banquet hall. Bender and the carriage were arranged to rest somewhere else.
Li Si loosened the elastic neckline. He was still not used to such a complicated dress.
Following the waiter into the banquet hall, the venue of hundreds of square meters was extremely luxurious. Countless huge magic crystal lamps made of polished crystal clear crystals hung directly above the hall, exuding a soft light, and the dining tables beside Fragrant delicacies and fine wines have been placed for guests to take, and some guests are already mingling with each other holding wine glasses.
The Karl family is worthy of being the actual controller of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, which ranks among the top five in the Kingdom of Fes. They have enough strength to "purchase" the baronage from the kingdom, and the mansion they buy in the noble area is also quite luxurious. The grandeur shows the rich financial resources of the Carl family.
Li Si looked at the guests in gorgeous dresses scattered around the dance floor with great interest. Because his predecessor rarely attended similar parties, so even though these should be gentlemen and ladies from the upper class of Fes City, he looked at them. They are all strangers and there are no familiar faces.
At this moment, Maura Karl, who had just followed her father to deal with an Earl, happened to see Lis who was a little bit maverick not far away. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly informed her father and turned to Lis. Came over.
"You guy, why didn't you come to me when you came? Are you really our noble Viscount? Just stay there alone and don't talk to anyone else."
Li Si shrugged: "You know, I basically never attend such parties. I don't know these people, how can we possibly have a conversation? I saw you were talking to that old man just now, so I didn't look for you."< br>
"What about that old man? That's His Excellency Count Dion Duval, the Kingdom's Minister of Finance!"
Moura looked at Li Si speechlessly. She really didn't expect that he didn't even know this person, so he simply He took Li Si and introduced him to the distinguished guests around him.
“This is Arsen Hard, the youngest son of Duke Hard’s family. I heard that he is very much appreciated by His Majesty the King recently.”
“The person talking to my father over there is Olaya. Monte Olaya, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, is no worse than my family’s chamber of commerce, but he has a very good relationship with my father.”
"That's Mrs. Pasha Coy, a famous socialite in Bright Light City. You have to be careful not to be fascinated by her!"
Mora secretly pointed at the smiling face not far away. The woman in a purple fringed dress who was talking to several men looked at Li Si with a raised eyebrow.
Li Si heard this and looked at it carefully. Hiss~ He is indeed very capable. He looked at it carefully with an academic eye and came to the conclusion that it was indeed a real material. She was worthy of being a famous social butterfly. , learned!
Moura had an academic exchange with Li Si for the first time with deep sympathy, and both parties gained a unified understanding.
"You guys, haven't you done on-the-spot investigation a long time ago?" Li Si looked at his friend with gleaming eyes with suspicion.
"I'm just appreciating art, okay? She's almost old enough to be my mother!"
When questioned, Maura almost jumped up and swore to prove her innocence, although in Li Si's eyes, this person It was almost black from the inside out.
“I won’t tell you anymore.” Seeing her father waving to her, Maura seemed to have another distinguished guest to greet, so she hurriedly walked over, “I’ll come back to you later, don’t sneak away! ”
After all, it was Maura’s birthday dinner. Although most people came here to communicate with each other and socialize with each other, as the host, he still couldn’t be absent from the scene for too long.
Li Si was also happy and at ease. Even if he was not familiar with the other guests, no one would disturb him.
While listening to Moura's father, Wim Karl, leading him to thank all the guests at the banquet and talking about the scene, Li Si walked to the long table, picked up the dinner plate and started choosing delicious food.
Grilled lamb chops, braised snails in vanilla sauce, beef tenderloin with foie gras in oil, Berdych sweet shrimp salad, cheese and ham chicken chop, hazelnut caramel cake, shredded coconut cherry pie
Li Si selected a large plate of delicious food with satisfaction. Ignoring the surprised looks from the waiters, he walked to the corner of the banquet hall and sat down, enjoying the delicious food.
It is worthy of being one of the five major chambers of commerce in the kingdom. You must know that the Berdych sweet shrimp only lives in a few areas of the eastern coastal kingdom of Berdych in the Fanor continent. Such a fresh taste is really rare, and I don’t know how. It was transported from the seaside thousands of miles away to the inland Kingdom of Fes.
In the previous game, I had never seen it in the Kingdom of Fes. It was only when I went to Boddy to do a mission that I ate this kind of ingredient. It was really fresh and chewy, the best among seafood. . "唔~"
While Li Si was enjoying the food, a dinner plate was placed on the table next to him. Li Si glanced at it, good guy, there is more than he pretends to be!
The two pieces of lamb chops were stuffed with all kinds of food, and two hazelnut cakes were placed at the end. The crumbling look made people a little worried.
Just when Li Si focused his attention on the "tower" of the dinner plate, a figure appeared from behind the dinner plate and sat on a chair to the side.
Li Si took a look at this guy who did not socialize with others on the dance floor like other guests, but instead huddled in the corner with a plate and enjoyed the food like himself.
Wearing a fiery red strapless evening dress, the same long red hair is simply spread around her waist. The well-tailored design outlines the girl's perfect curves. The layered hollow patterns and delicate tassels set off the fair, girly face. His appearance is a bit ordinary, but his gray-purple eyes are very smart and lively.
The girl looked at Li Si curiously. It seemed that she did not expect to meet a cook who was as "different" as herself. She smiled softly at Li Si and began to enjoy the delicious food in front of her. .
Although Li Si felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, he didn't care. After all, he might have seen this person in the game in his previous life!
Then the two began to charge towards the "two mountains" in front of them. Although they did not stop, their etiquette on the table was impeccable, and the food on the table continued to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Si was obviously the first to start, but the two of them finished the food in front of them almost at the same time.
"Squeak~"
The chair was pushed away, and the two of them stood up at the same time, preparing to go to the dining table to replenish their inventory.
“Pfft~”
A silver bell-like laughter rang in Li Si’s ears. When he turned around, the girl chuckled and looked at him with curious eyes.
"You are really weird. Don't most people come to such parties to get to know those dignitaries? Why are you hiding here to eat?"
Li Si looked at the dinner plate in the girl's hand and said speechlessly:
"Aren't you the same? I'm too lazy to compliment each other with those people."
"I'm different!" The girl waved her hand, "I came here with my friends to gain some knowledge and eat some delicious food. I heard that the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Association specially arranged a caravan to go to Berdych in the east to purchase a lot of precious ingredients for this party. I don’t want to miss it.”
The girl’s words were quite normal at first, but her subsequent words revealed the fact that she was a foodie.
“That’s right, the Berdych Sweet Shrimp Salad is good, I’m going to have some more.”
When she talked about food, the girl's eyes even shone:
"Yes, yes, it's great, you can't even buy it if you have money!"
Li Si is here too. Tan Xing:
“But I think the Berdych sweet shrimp should taste better when made into golden shrimp balls.”
The girl was a little surprised:
"Golden shrimp balls, what are they? Is it a dish? I didn't see that you can cook?"
"Of course!" Li Si, who grew up in an orphanage in his previous life, has developed a good skill. Cooking skills.
Hehe, I hope everyone can read it, Crab
