Montauban looked at everything in front of him and frowned. They really underestimated the temptation of delicious food to people. Looking at a group of British nobles who ate like pigs, he became angry.
Turning around, Montauban almost lost his temper. What a pig teammate. Ivan actually started eating beside him. He was holding an orange in one hand and digging desperately with the other. The last bit of crab meat left in the orange made my mouth squeak when I ate it.
Montauban helplessly held his head with his hands. He almost stuffed his head into his waistband. At this time, he no longer had the energy to scold his teammates.
A dish of crab stuffed with oranges completely conquered the stomachs of all the guests. They even asked the maid who was the chef who could make this dish. It seemed that they had spent a lot of money to buy the recipe.
But how could the Duke of Newx let the money-making baby leak the secret? These royal chefs all signed contracts with the Chinese. At this time, I am afraid that the British would not be able to buy a single word of the secret recipe even if they moved a mountain of gold.
Jonas looked at the French envoy with a joking look, "Oh... This is the dirty and ugly little devil from hell! Hahaha... It seems that the Chinese are really good at making the devil so delicious. How can you think of it?" Do you have this ability?"
Montauban had no time to argue with Jonas. He unconsciously stirred the crab meat in the orange with a spoon in his hand, while his lowered eyes carefully paid attention to the British Prime Minister Benjamin sitting at the table opposite.
It seemed that Benjamin had learned from the experience of yesterday's failure and gave up his tit-for-tat plan with Xiao Letian. He just tasted the food calmly and had already eaten most of a crab-stuffed orange.
It's not that Benjamin didn't see Montauban's look for help, he just didn't want to give someone a handle. Today Gladstone was keeping a close eye on him, and his every word and every move was monitored.
Think about the prince's advice in the morning. Although I didn't give the crown prince face at the time, could I really ignore the warning? Although the British prime minister's power is protected by the constitution and the royal family cannot interfere with the work of the prime minister, these rules... these rules do not apply to Queen Victoria at all.
This is a queen who created an era. She is not only loved by the British people, but even the people of Europe and those countries that have had war frictions with Britain have to admit the queen's personality charm.
What is the Constitution for this God-given gift that is completely above all secular laws? I believe that if the Queen promotes constitutional amendment, she will also receive the support of the vast majority of the people.
The only solution for now is to avoid danger, there is no other way!
Benjamin could escape but Montauban could not. He thought of the message sent by the Prime Minister last night and Benjamin's promises. He could only be a pawn for the French Emperor.
After filling his mouth with two spoonfuls of crab meat, Montauban smiled and said, "Dear Queen, Her Majesty the Head of State!" This time he finally used honorifics.
"I have to admit that the Chinese cooking skills are really extraordinary. It's beyond my expectation that they can make such ugly and low-grade ingredients so delicious... I have to apologize to those chefs!"
Montauban apologized, and the chefs behind the curtain turned red with excitement after hearing what the translator said.
It is an unprecedented miracle that a group of cooks, who are of low status no matter which country they are in in this era, can get an apology from such a big man.
A feeling they have never experienced before arises spontaneously. At that moment, they realize the glory of a craftsman. It does not depend on my status or blood, but on my hard work and study of craftsmanship. I can conquer your heart.
Thinking about it this way, staying in Europe is not such a terrible thing.
Xiao Letian looked at Montauban indifferently. He knew that he was his life-and-death enemy, and these beautiful words were nothing more than suppression first and then promotion.
Looking at Montauban Xiao, Letian not only was not angry, but felt sad and pitiful for him.
After all, he was considered a high-level military official in France. At any rate, he was also a big shot who led the expeditionary force to conquer Beijing and forced the Manchus to sign a treaty.
But everything he showed in the past two days was as childish as a three-year-old child. Such abnormal behavior can only prove that there is a big figure behind him forcing him to go into battle in person, so that he has to make such ineffective attacks. move.
Any qualified general should know that soldiers should not be moved lightly. It is very unwise to challenge the Chinese over trivial matters such as verbal disputes and the quality of food.
Winning is nothing more than a trivial matter, while losing would bring shame to the Emperor and Tsar.
Montauban would not understand such a simple truth, and even that savage bear-like Ivan would not understand it. But if they still want to do this, there is only one reason, and that is that someone forces them to challenge me. .
Use this extremely rude behavior to anger the Chinese people. As long as they respond improperly, they can spread their opinions in Europe. What's more important is that they have to test their trump card through their own reactions.
Xiao Letian's eyes glanced at Benjamin. He was certain that he was the one behind the scenes. This old fox had figured out a lot of his trump cards just from yesterday's test.
First of all, he knew that he had a series of photographic evidence in his hand, which was a big weapon at the negotiation table. Whether it was a conflict with France or a war with Tsarist Russia, the Chinese had done it in a favorable and polite manner.
Photos, a great invention of the human world, Xiao Letian realized its important role very early. Xiao Letian even invested 200,000 pounds and set up a research laboratory in Hamburg, trying every means to make photography technology miniaturized and more advanced. clear.
With a large number of photos, witnesses, and physical evidence, you can take the initiative at the negotiation table, and Benjie did not know this information before.
If these heavy pieces of evidence are suddenly revealed on the negotiation table, the other party will naturally be caught off guard!
It's a pity that part of it was still exposed. I believe that at this moment, Benjamin has begun to guess how much evidence Xiao Letian still has, and is thinking about countermeasures.
Here we are again today. In Chinese terms, this Benjamin is a man who can squeeze out a drop of urine even if he squeezes a toad. The French and Russians especially ask for help from him. Naturally, he will use it to his own death. He has no mercy at all. Will tell.
Having seen through the enemy's plan, Xiao Letian will naturally not be fooled. No matter how rude the two clowns are today, he will never be angry at all.
"Thank you for your generosity. The differences in food culture between Europe and Asia are naturally not small. Aren't we here to break through the thousands of years of ice with the goodwill of communication?"
"Chinese people are not afraid of accusations, nor will they get angry at conflicts caused by misunderstandings... As long as there are no attacks with ulterior motives, the Chinese people can still laugh it off magnanimously!"
Note: There will be another update soon!
