"A steak," Burt said.
"Okay, sir, madam, please wait a moment." Several waiters wrote down everyone's orders, and then went to the back kitchen to hand them over to the chef to prepare.
At the dinner table, Bert and others started talking again.
"Ships and trains are really the greatest inventions of this century. I take a ship every month to travel between the Tianhei Empire and the Tianxiang Empire." A rich white man wearing glasses and a black suit said.
"Yes, I am always worried about him. In my opinion, the sea is too dangerous." The white woman next to the man said, she smiled kindly, "So this time, I decided to follow him One trip.”
This is his wife.
"She always likes to worry. I have been on this sea many times. Small accidents occasionally happen to ships, but they all arrive safely in port." The rich white man added.
Although he said this, his hand had already grasped his wife's.
Qili stared at them with a smile.
She felt that if there weren't so many people here now, these two people might have kissed long ago.
"Wow!" Burt shouted, he smiled teasingly, "It's really enviable. I thought love was a luxury for us."
The rich lady rolled her eyes, took out her handbag, looked at it, and said loudly, "This crocodile leather handbag is considered a luxury item. It cost three thousand black coins to buy it."
As she said that, she pretended to be distressed and put her handbag on her chest and patted it.
"Hahahahaha!!..."
"Ma'am, you are so funny!"
"Speaking of luxury goods, I also brought back some jewelry necklaces from the Tian-Hung Empire. My wife and daughter will definitely like them."
"Hahahahaha!"
"..."
The atmosphere became lively, and everyone burst into laughter.
Mrs. Emma also laughed. If you look closely, you can see that she is a little bit smiling.
Of course she was unhappy. Her husband had passed away, and the ruined noble family had left her with only a pile of debts. Not to mention luxuries, her life was now difficult.
That's why she wanted her daughter Qili to marry Bert.
"You can wear the necklace I gave you." Bert smiled and whispered to Qili, acting like a gentleman.
Qili grinned and said, "I think it's too expensive, so it's more appropriate to put it in the safe. Of course, I will wear it when necessary."
She couldn't think about the turquoise now. When she thought about the turquoise, she felt her stomach churn again. The scene of the steak on the dinner plate with her fingers last night suddenly came to mind.
"Okay, as you wish." Bert wiped his hands with a napkin and raised his eyebrows. "A gentleman always obeys the wishes of a lady."
Qili closed her mouth and managed to maintain a smile.
After a while, lunch was served.
Qili tried her best to control her breathing and not smell the steak and other meats on other people's plates.
She stirred the salad on the plate with a fork to make sure it was clean and not adulterated with anything else before she started eating it.
The sweetness and bitterness of the vegetables lingered on the tip of the tongue and mouth. The uncomfortable feeling was much better. After eating, my mind became clearer.
Perhaps hypoglycemia also contributed to her dizziness.
Because they were all vegetables, she finished them quickly and was the first one on the table to put down her utensils.
She ordered another cup of coffee, and after drinking the hot cup, her whole body seemed to come alive.
Others on the table were still feasting, cutting the steaks on the plate with knives and forks, putting them into their mouths piece by piece, chewing, and the soup flowing out of the corners of their mouths, which they wiped away with white napkins.
So did her mother, Lady Emma, who had finished her last bite and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee.
Qili was fortunate that at noon today, the steak on their plate was normal and not mixed with anything else that made her feel stomach-churning.
A gust of sea breeze blew over, and Qili felt something scratching her thigh, so she stretched her hand under the dining table.
She grabbed it and actually pulled out a piece of paper.
Previously, this piece of paper should have been stuck under the dining table, and she never noticed it.
"Restaurant rules."
Seeing these words, Qili's heart froze, her whole body almost felt like an electric shock, and she was so frightened that she almost lost her grip on the paper.
She put the paper under the table, and when no one was looking at her, she lowered her head and secretly looked at the contents.
1. Ladies and gentlemen, please stay elegant when dining. The chef is always watching you.
2. You can talk to anyone, but please do not make any noise that affects other guests.
3. If you don’t want to dine in the restaurant, you can have the crew deliver your food anywhere, including your room.
4. If you eat any human limbs, nails, hair, etc. in your food, you can complain to the chief inspector. It is also his responsibility to ensure food safety.
5. Playing the piano after a drink is a pleasure.
6. The banquet hall is only available to distinguished first-class guests. Second- and third-class guests are not allowed to enter without invitation.
"call!"
After reading these contents, Qili exhaled a long breath.
Fortunately, although I haven't noticed this restaurant rule in the past two days, I haven't violated it.
so close.
Fortunately, she didn't scream when she saw human fingers in the food last night. Instead, she chose to keep quiet. The live broadcasts she had watched of other chosen ones in the strange world told her.
The chosen one must remain calm at all times. Only a calm and restrained mind can fight against these monsters.
In the banquet hall, soothing music flowed slowly.
Everyone has finished their meal.
The head chef presented them with after-dinner fruit, a platter of apples and grapes, and poured each of them a glass of champagne.
"Dear distinguished guests, welcome aboard the Prometheus. I wish you a pleasant journey." The head chef put one hand behind his waist, covered his left chest with the other, and bowed in salute.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I have to say that your cooking skills are really great. It is the most delicious food I have ever eaten." Bert was not stingy with his praise. Praising others is the basic virtue of a gentleman.
"Cheers to Prometheus!" Bert raised his glass and others followed suit.
"Cheers to the wonderful times spent together!"
"Cheers to luxury!"
"cheers!"
"..."
"Ding!"
Qili also raised her glass and clinked it with Bert's glass. The expensive glass made a tinkling sound, like music.
It was said to be a toast, but everyone just took a sip and continued talking about their topics.
They always have something to say.
"I have long heard that the young lady from Duke Spindo's family is a master of piano. Can you please play a piece?"
