"Hey! What is that?"
"I don't know what it is, but it smells so good. It should be eaten, right? Look at the fruit on top!"
"No way! This Narant actually made food as a birthday gift!"
"Haha! Don't be surprised. Didn't I just say that because the Berwick family is poor and Nalant is poor, you must prepare your own gifts!"
"This is too shabby! Didn't Nalant set up a street stall in the square for a few days? I even bought shaved ice!"
"I guess Narant, shaved ice is not very profitable! Think about Alding. Ice without honey costs eighty copper coins, but with honey it costs one silver coin."
"But Sir Narante, the ice cubes only cost forty copper coins. Not only does the ice cubes come in a bowl, but adding honey and so many dried fruits only costs ten more copper coins! This cost is not low."
"I guess his only advantage is that he doesn't have to spend money to set up a street stall!"
"It makes sense. Sir Narant is really a good man!"
When they saw Narant's birthday cake behind him, many nobles started talking about it because they didn't know why, and many young people secretly scolded Narant for being shabby.
Of course, this is actually what they expected.
"Fuck grandma, she has such a huge cream cake!"
Of course, there were some knowledgeable people in the scene, including Boris, who immediately let out an exclamation.
"What kind of cream cake does Boris have?" Rael asked curiously.
On the side, Nasia and several noble ladies were also confused.
"This cream cake! It's from Nalant Castle. The secret is that it's sweeter than honey. It's not only milky, but also rich and eggy!"
"Don't think this is just for eating. There are delicious foods, but if they are sold based on price, I think a piece as small as a fist would cost at least ten silver coins!"
"Wow, it's so expensive? Doesn't that mean this cake is worth more than a dozen gold coins?" The women exclaimed.
"Hey, Boris, do you think it's true? Is it so exaggerated? A cake the size of a fist is worth ten silver coins. Is it made of gold?" At this moment, several nobles nearby also heard it. Boris, discourse.
I immediately felt that his words were deliberately bragging.
"Ha! Just ask Miss Stella later if it's true that Big Mouth Peter has me! This cream cake is so delicious. I dare say it is the most delicious food in existence!"
Although Boris praised Narante and had good ideas, he did not lie.
He really felt that the cream cake would be worth so much money if sold.
A barrel is worth more than ten silver coins in the Tulip City. Beer is everywhere, and the nobles will not find it expensive. A small piece of ice with honey costs a silver coin, and everyone queues up to buy it.
Therefore, as long as the food is delicious, nobles are also willing to consume it.
Peter still didn't believe most of Boris's answers, but now Narant had already walked to the front desk, so he didn't speak.
"Happy birthday, Miss Stella. This is the birthday gift I have prepared for you!" Nalant was not as simple as those second sons who play literary youth, so he closed his mouth with a congratulation.
However, Stella was slightly curious and looked at the birthday cake standing nearby. She could already smell the rich and sweet smell, but she had never seen this delicious food before.
"What kind of food is your birthday cake?" Out of curiosity, Stella took the initiative to ask. Although her tone was still very calm, it was the first time she spoke proactively tonight.
"Miss Stella has a birthday cake to use on her birthday. The cake has rose points and candles!" Narant did not roll his eyes. Birthday cakes are still a new thing in this world. Stella and the others must not know. .
At Nalant's command, Rose quickly picked up the trolley and put the small candle on the cake and lit it.
"Why did Sir Narant put candles on the food? Isn't it for eating?" Everyone was confused after seeing this move.
"Miss Stella has this birthday cake. I saw it in a book. It is said that at birthday parties, candles are lit on this cake. Then the birthday person can close their eyes and make a wish. After the wish is completed, it is blown out. If you have candles, you will be favored by the God of Glory, and maybe your wish will come true!"
"Uh, is there such an explanation?" The guests were astonished after hearing this.
However, Stella looked at the birthday cake, then at Nalan, and finally said, "It's quite interesting. You have put some thought into it! Then I'll let you go!"
After Stella said that, she closed her eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candle above.
"Hiss! Miss Stella actually praised Nalant! What does that last sentence mean? What does letting you go mean?"
"I don't know either! But you guys, look at the other second sons, they are almost crying! They gave so many valuable gifts, and they didn't even say a few words to Miss Stella. This Sir Nalant just gave a gift. Let Miss Stella praise you!”
"But this Nalant is really unique. He wants to go ultramarathon in a corner and use his small skills to make big gains!"
"Rose, have you given the knife to Miss Stella, so you can teach Miss Stella how to make the first cut!" You don't know that sentence, but it means that Nalant has been waiting for a long time.
Now he finally waited until he said this and had this cake.
Regardless of the buzz around her, she immediately asked Rose to step forward.
Then Rose came to Stella with a knife and taught her how to cut the cake.
Stella looked at Rose and saw that there was no refusal. She immediately followed Rose's instructions and cut the cake towards the top.
"Hey, what is that!"
But just when everyone thought that Nalant was really just trying to win favor, after the cake was cut, a transparent, red crystal cup appeared inside.
This crystal cup was turned upside down on the cake, but everyone could clearly see the light reflecting out of it.
What's more, there are countless facets on the crystal cup, and the light is refracted into small light spots. Suddenly, a dreamy scene appeared in and out of the field.
"Wow! What is this? So beautiful!"
Standing in the front row, some ladies immediately covered their mouths and exclaimed.
Stella's eyes also flashed for a moment and she looked at Nalant with doubt.
"Miss Stella, this is a gift from Sir Nalant to you!" There was no need for Nalant to explain, as he had already arranged for Rose.
As she spoke, Rose used a tool to carefully move the crystal cup onto the silver plate.
Then a silver medal was opened, and everyone finally saw clearly the items inside.
"Hey! It turns out to be a luminous bead! But this luminous bead is so big!"
"Hey, you guys, look at how this luminous bead became like this?"
"I actually used luminous beads to make a bottle that is so big. A luminous bead is worth at least fifty gold coins, right? Could this be the real Nalant? It would be a waste to have him as a gift!"
"Don't waste it! Your Excellency, we think this is very beautiful, and Miss Celie, tell me, don't you think that Sir Nalant is so romantic? It's the same as what is written in the knight's storybook!"
"Yes! It's so beautiful. I think it's a perfume bottle. If Sir Narante would give me such a gift, I would be willing to marry him."
"Hmm! Celie is as thin as Sir Narante. If you want to marry her, you should control your food intake!"
"I hate Sir Narante, but you don't have to worry about these things if you have the title of knight!"
