Chapter 42: Family dinner

Views:

Blackbeard sat on the throne, and Lin Qi sat with his feet raised on the raised tail of the Black Tiger Throne. Enzo was helpless, Hammer and Butcher Knife were rough men, and Blackbeard was not a polite person either. There was no one to bring him a stool or anything. wWW, QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO, cOM So Enzo himself moved a large oak chair next to the dining table to the high platform with difficulty, and chatted with Lin Qi and his son.

When moving the big oak chair, Enzo realized how heavy it was. Large chairs cut out of a single piece of oak weigh hundreds of kilograms. However, in order to make these large chairs more durable, the ancestors of the Lin Qi family actually put an inch-thick iron plate underneath the large chairs to prevent damage. Excessive friction between the large chair and the ground destroyed the chair.

Therefore, the weight of this large chair reached seven to eight hundred kilograms, and it took a lot of effort for Enzo to move the chair.

But here he was working hard to move the big chair. The hammer and butcher knife, which were strong enough to move the chair easily, just laughed maliciously from the side. Blackbeard and Lin Qi even wrinkled their eyes with laughter. Wire. Enzo suppressed his blush and felt that he was really the most stupid fool in the world. How could he follow Lin Qi here

This family is not normal no matter how you look at it!

Blackbeard is running for mayor of Dunerker, and is planning to be the chief executive of the province in the future. His main goal is actually to focus on annual administrative expenses and tax revenue! A robber is indeed a robber. It is really hard to imagine what kind of harm Blackbeard will do to that province after he becomes the chief executive of a province in the empire.

Maybe the servants of the Black Tiger family will be transformed into a regular army of the empire? When will the dragoons and copper hats running around in the streets and alleys turn into these Lin Qi family's heroes who kill and set fire? While shouting 'in the name of the imperial family', they broke into the house and robbed the house!

Thinking of that terrible scene, Enzo couldn't help but feel terrified.

It's so exciting and exciting. It would be really interesting if Blackbeard's father was unfortunate enough to get a noble title and be able to stand in the court in the future. It’s hard to imagine what the empire would look like if someone like him became an important minister of the empire.

There was the sound of pots and pans outside, and the rich aroma of spices and meat continued to float in. The servants of the Lin Qi family were preparing for a reception banquet. The day when Lin Qi returned home happened to be the Kitchen God's Day. According to the customs of the Western continent, the Kitchen God's Day is a big day to worship the Kitchen God. The whole family gathers together to eat and drink.

This is also the beginning of the "winter" for the people on the road. From today on, the snowstorm in the northern Odin Icefield will wreak havoc on most of the continent. People rarely go out. Everyone stays at home to survive this long winter. Basically, as long as the family has some wealth, the Kitchen God Festival also represents the beginning of a series of winter banquets.

After all, there is nothing to do in the long winter. Besides eating and drinking at home, what else can you do

Putting aside the matter of running for mayor for the time being, Blackbeard carefully asked Lin Qi what he had done in the past three years. Although Blackbeard has his intelligence channels, the Cripple Shop will send some news about Lin Qi back to Dunerki every now and then. But there were many things about Lin Qi that even a cripple could not find out, so Blackbeard asked Lin Qi in detail about his experiences over the years.

Lin Qi's question to her father was a matter of course. He kept talking about the fact that he was 'poor', 'down and out', 'no money to spend', and 'short of money to spend'. Blackbeard's face turned purple and black due to Lin Qi. Seeing the smoke constantly blowing out of his nose, he wanted to slap Lin Qi to the ground and then kick him hard.

While the father, son, and Enzo were having a fruitless conversation, the banquet was almost ready. …,

Because Lin Qi, the young master of the family, went home for the first time in three years, this year's Lin Qi Family Kitchen God Festival banquet was particularly grand. Not to mention other food and drinks, there were thirty roasted whole lambs served as the main course! The roasted whole lamb is complete from head to tail, roasted to golden brown all over, dripping with fat, and seasoned with a lot of oriental spices!

Such a roasted whole lamb can be sold for a sky-high price of two hundred gold coins per piece in a high-end tavern in Bo Laili. It’s not just the lamb that’s valuable, but the spices sprinkled on the roasted whole lamb that’s even more valuable! The spices that come from the East and traveled tens of thousands of miles across the ocean before reaching the Western continent. Each handful of spices is worth more than a dozen gold coins!

In addition to the roasted whole lamb, there are also large and tender steaks, roasted goose and roasted chicken neatly laid out on large sterling silver plates; the roasted suckling pig is cutely propped up by sterling silver forks and arranged neatly. They formed a line, as if they were walking in a queue.

In addition, there are various rare birds.

The nobles of the empire especially like to eat various rare waterfowl, such as black swans, white swans, mallards, skylarks, etc. At the Lin Qi family's banquet, at least forty different kinds of waterfowl were served on the table. The aroma is so strong that it almost forms a cloud visible to the naked eye.

Hundreds of ferocious-looking and tall men attended the banquet. These people were all elders of the Lin Qi family and were qualified to appear in the banquet hall. There are a dozen smaller banquet halls in other places, and other people in the ancestral house, including the handymen, maids, etc., are enjoying themselves in those banquet halls.

More than 3,000 people attended a banquet, which was almost as large as the state banquet held by the emperor in the Victory Palace.

And that's not all, because when everyone was having a feast, there were at least hundreds of capable men standing guard at various checkpoints outside the ancestral home. The ancestral home of the Lin Qi family can be described as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. It would not be wrong at all.

After Blackbeard pretended to recite a sacrificial prayer to the Kitchen God, he raised a huge pure gold wine glass to announce the start of the banquet.

Hundreds of tall and handsome men in the hall raised their glasses and cheered in unison, "Long live Blackbeard," and then they all shouted in unison, "Welcome home, young master!" In the midst of shouting, laughing and cursing, these heroes drank all the wine in their glasses.

Among these heroes, dozens of strong orc men who were obviously pure-blooded were particularly eye-catching. Elsewhere in the western continent, the orcs were hunted down with all their strength. But in the Lin Qi family's ancestral home, these orcs and humans sat side by side and drank with each other. They all gathered together to eat and drink, and they were having fun together, just like a family.

Lin Qi took Enzo with him, and they each carried a bucket of wine to toast to the elderly people in Lin Qi's family. Uncle so-and-so, uncle so-and-so, aunt so-and-so, aunt so-and-so. . . All the old people were the kind of people with scars all over their bodies and ferocious faces, but when they saw Lin Qi, they all showed kind smiles.

They only wanted Lin Qi to drink a small sip at a time, but for Enzo, they poured him a large bowl at a time without any hesitation.

So, less than a quarter of an hour after the banquet started, Enzo collapsed in a daze.

An hour later, Lin Qi also collapsed to the ground.

Blackbeard shook his head and carried Lin Qi out of the banquet hall.
