After receiving a satisfactory answer, the queen's restless heart finally calmed down. She was really conquered by the Chinese food this time. At that moment, she understood the superficial European food culture and thousands of years of food. Compared with China, it is extremely small.
Regardless of appearance or taste, from knife skills to cooking, only French food in the European food world can barely compete with Chinese food. However, under the superb performance of these royal chefs today, the Queen's original judgment has also been shaken.
Is it finally time for these proud Gallic roosters to bow their heads today?
The queen was right. When the unique delicacy of Shijia Sauce Recipe completely conquered the guests present, especially the female guests, Montauban and Ivan completely turned off the fire. He sat on the chair without saying a word, with a face as pale as a Ashes.
Montauban could no longer hear Jonas's ridicule in his ears. His eyes kept rolling on the British Prime Minister Benjamin, and the Earl of Bali Bridge was secretly jealous.
"I have done what you asked me to do. I have become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe, just because of you! In the future, you must also do what you promised, otherwise I will use all the fury of France to avenge you. You'd better Don’t break your promise!”
Shut up the nuisance, and the banquet guests can finally enjoy the food. After the three main courses, there is a steady stream of specialties, such as abalone, bird's nest, shark's fin, and sea cucumber, which are not expensive, as well as camel hump, deer tendon, and fish lips. , bear paws have become delicacies on the table.
The famous dishes were served one after another like running water. These European foreigners who had never known the world did not even care about basic diplomatic etiquette, and they all ate with their mouths full of oil.
The banquet was accompanied by song and dance performances. The musicians and dancers brought by Xiao Letian from the East performed songs and dances full of ancient charm, while the European swallows trained by Fangguan performed exotic belly dances. Dance, Spanish tango and even Fang Guan sang an impromptu toast song.
That was her famous work in Europe. A toast song was played, and the atmosphere suddenly reached its peak. The guests stood up and toasted to the Queen and Emperor Tongzhi, and then toasted to the head of state in the East. The unpleasantness just now seemed to have disappeared. Same.
Even Benjamin, the place where Xiao Letian died, walked up to Xiao Letian with a wine glass. "I have to say, this dinner party you organized is something I have never seen in my life, whether it is the food or the singing and dancing performances, and even the atmosphere here." , all unprecedented..."
As he spoke, his eyes swept towards the iceberg behind Xiao Letian. The banquet had been going on for three hours now, and it was almost eleven o'clock. The huge iceberg had melted and created several small streams, and the ice water flowed along the grooves on the ground. The trough slowly merges into the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
Five or six ice-cutting craftsmen were moving huge ice cubes from the ice room at the back. They had to determine the shape of the melting gap in the iceberg in a very short time, and then cut out pieces of ice that fit the size to fill it.
The workload was very heavy. Even though they were working with the iceberg in hand, beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"What an extravagance this is!" Benjamin sighed. "Is your country's tax revenue so unlimited? Doesn't your power have an agency that can supervise it? With all due respect, this is not a good thing, really!"
Xiao Leqiang's eyelids jumped up, and he thought to himself, "Fuck, this Chinese clan was founded by me, who can supervise me? Even if I established such an organization, all the people who make up it were created by me. Yes, what can they do under the pressure of my reputation?"
"The founding king has privileges, but this privilege is not granted by heaven, but only in accordance with people's hearts! How can you use this to attack me?"
I cursed in my heart, but I still had to smile and said, "We can talk about these things slowly at the negotiation table. If the Prime Minister is interested, then we can find time to get together alone..."
"But you just said that this banquet made you feel extremely amazing, so since you are in the country, you have to follow the local customs! Come, give the Prime Minister a glass of white wine. Drinking champagne is not a Chinese habit..."
Upon hearing this, the waiter behind him immediately brought two white porcelain wine glasses on a tray. They were filled with Erguotou. Depending on the size of the cup, there must be two Erguotou in each cup.
However, no matter how big the cup is, it is still much smaller than a champagne glass. Benjamin obviously has not experienced the power of Erguotou. He feels that it does not matter even if he drinks such a glass of wine.
Xiao Letian picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Chinese people believe in toasting first, so this wine must be served dry. Since you are here to toast me, you have to follow our Chinese habits..."
As soon as he raised his head and drank a full glass of white wine, Xiao Letian felt a line of fire burning from his throat to his stomach, and he was forced to sweat on his forehead.
Benjamin was too embarrassed not to drink, so he poured the liquor into it, but the Chinese liquor caught fire as soon as he took his mouth.
With a pop, Benjamin sprayed out the liquor in one gulp, covering the body of an ice-cutting craftsman.
"Poisonous! Come here! Protect the Queen... This wine is poisonous!"
As soon as they heard this, the guards outside panicked, and a group of people wanted to rush in. At the critical moment, the queen was still able to hold up the scene, "Back off! What a nonsense, what's poisonous? If it was poisoned, it wouldn't be here now, I won’t use such inferior poison to get myself into trouble..."
After drinking the imperial guards away, the queen looked at Benjamin and asked, "How do you feel? Do you need to call a doctor..." After speaking, she looked at Xiao Letian with questioning eyes.
Xiao Letian shrugged, "I'm sorry, this wine is the same as what I drink. Maybe the Prime Minister is not used to the taste? Come on, bring over the jug that you just poured wine into..."
A porcelain bottle of Erguotou had just been opened. Xiao Letian poured another half cup for himself and drank it into his stomach. Then he poured another half cup for Benjamin and handed it over. "Dear Prime Minister, have a taste. Is it the same taste just now?" …”
"No, no, no... cough cough cough... I won't drink until I die... my throat... I want water..." After saying that, he started coughing violently.
The maid quickly brought over the cold sour plum soup. After drinking half a bowl of it, my burning throat finally felt better.
Xiao Letian looked at the guests innocently, "Excuse me, is there anyone here who has drunk high-alcohol wine? Please come and taste whether this wine is poisonous and whether it is good wine!"
"I'm coming!" With a loud voice, Ivan, the special envoy of Tsarist Russia, walked out.
I really forgot about him. Among all the ethnic groups in Europe, if you want to drink alcohol, you really have to accept this group of Tsarist Russians who grew up in the cold zone.
