…
When the two left, Ashes who was following the fifth princess suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "I owe you an apology, Your Majesty."
This is the first time Roland has heard her use honorifics to himself, "It's okay, I also have some of the things that happened in the palace..."
"We all know that it's not you," Ash shook his head, "It's impossible for someone like that to lead us to defeat the church, and it's impossible to give the witch full freedom and trust. I'm sorry, I didn't believe this until you defeated the church. She paused, "Every witch will remember everything you did, and you are more suitable than him to be Lord Tilly's brother."
Ash would say something like this, and it can only be said that Tilly herself thinks so. In the end, they didn't believe that they were the fourth prince... Roland was dumbfounded for a while, but was this an alternative way of recognition
Looking at the smiling sister behind her, he suddenly understood something.
The extraordinary witch stroked her chest with her right hand, bent down slightly, her black ponytail hung down her shoulders, and her golden eyes were like dazzling stars in the evening.
"The Ashbringer greets you, Your Majesty."
*****************
Three days later, Andrea waited for the long-awaited farewell banquet.
Not looking forward to leaving, but looking forward to the new cuisine declared by His Majesty.
Since the last time she left, she has been obsessed with what His Majesty said is better than ice cream, and she has always had great expectations for him when she came here. It's just that the battle with the church is of great importance, and she didn't have the nerve to take the initiative to mention it, and now she can finally get what she wants.
The banquet was not held in the castle, but in the expanded back garden.
Passing through the promenade formed by olive trees and entering the center of the garden, before seeing the food, an extremely strong fragrance has penetrated into Andrea's nose. The crystal fish of Yongdong Glacier? The Baiwei Egg in the Wolfheart Cliffs? Or fjord rainbow trout, known for its delicious aroma? No... that's not right, she has never smelled such an alluring taste, and even the rarest ingredients couldn't make it so fragrant.
"I suddenly feel so hungry." Sha Wei shouted.
"Have you been living such a life in the West?" Moriel licked her lips, "It's too enviable!"
"I haven't enjoyed it a few times," He Feng hugged Lian and Evelyn, "they are the ones you should envy."
"This kind of banquet doesn't happen every day," Candlelight explained. "Usually desserts are only made once every three days."
"It's only three days..." Moriel said while holding her forehead, "Why do I think you're showing off?"
"Eh, I don't have one."
"Hey, don't drool out," Ash gave Andrea a glance, even though her throat was also throbbing.
Andrea didn't sneer as usual, and her attention was now completely focused on the circular tree stumps placed on the side of the garden.
At first glance, they looked like they had grown out of the ground. The sturdy tree trunks needed seven or eight people to surround them, and the steam was billowing in the middle, as if something was burning.
When she walked in, she found that the inside of the stump had been hollowed out, and a huge iron pot was standing on the top. The strong fragrance was emitted from the soup in the pot.
On the low table next to the tree stump, there are various kinds of food, but they are all things that you can usually eat, and there are no rare dishes. Another thing that made her elusive was that these foods were all raw.
This is the first time Andrea has seen this kind of banquet. There are no attendants passing through the banquet, no white cloth, music, and crowds. Everyone is sitting around the tree stump. Seeing this posture, it seems that she has to do it herself.
Sure enough, after all the witches were there, Roland clapped his hands and announced the start of the feast, "This is a hot pot feast. The way to eat is very simple. Put the food you like into the pot, cook it and enjoy!"
Autumn is a good season to eat hot pot. As a cooking method that is widely loved by the people, it is easy to operate and can be understood at a glance. Even the simplest vegetarian dishes can taste delicious. The most important thing is to be very down-to-earth. Diners gather together and share the food in the same pot. Compared with traditional dinner parties that pay attention to style, it is easier to enhance mutual feelings, and as a banquet before parting, it can also disperse everyone. Heartbreak and depression.
The essence of hot pot lies in the soup ingredients. The cooking methods of this era are very monotonous. Usually, one ingredient is one flavor, so special attention is paid to the quality of the ingredients themselves. Roland ordered the chef to mix all kinds of foods with unique flavors, such as whole chicken, pork bones, bird's-beak mushrooms, seafood and spices, etc., and put them into a pot to boil. The resulting broth is rich in flavor, far from one or two. Raw materials can be obtained by cooking alone.
As for the hot pot table with a nature style, it is because the leaves that create the heart of the forest can make the plants grow quickly according to her intention, and can form the appearance that Roland needs without additional processing. Its interior is covered with heat-insulating coating. Even if the alcohol lamp is turned on, the table will not burn. On the contrary, the temperature of the inner wall will slowly spread to the entire tree stump. If you put your hands on the table, you can feel the warm warmth. meaning.
When Andrea put a piece of cooked meat into her mouth, the thick and strong taste made her snort.
The fresh aroma of dozens of ingredients hit her tongue in turn, and the hot soup flowed down her throat into her stomach. This feeling was diametrically opposite to ice cream bread, but it was equally unstoppable.
According to the nobility's dining etiquette, you should eat the food on your plate first, and then take out new food, but the new things that His Majesty made obviously can't be eaten like this, otherwise you can only watch others scoop up all the dishes. .
The sisters at the same table are not very elegant either, or in other words, the way of eating hot pot is destined to have no relationship with elegance. Even in front of Lord Tilly, there are several plates of scalded delicious food, and even more ashes. He brought the spoon in front of her this time.
"Original flavor is the true meaning of food... If you don't put anything, the soup will be closer to the original flavor. Who said all of this?" The transcendent imitated her tone and said, "I remember someone also put refined salt And spice is regarded as a savage way of cooking, and the real aristocrats don't care about it, why is it different from what I saw?"
If it was before, Andrea might still argue a few words, and even feel a little heartbroken, but now, she has understood what is most important.
Take the time to enjoy them, it's much more meaningful than just talking.
She glanced at Ashes nonchalantly, and without hesitation, opened the other's spoon, and put the rolled up slices of meat into her own bowl.
This time, Andrea was satisfied. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.) 17-03-18 05:51:24
