Chapter 704: Banquet and sudden

The moon hangs high and the sky is full of stars.
Buffalo, Long Island Manor.
Surrounded by dense forests and clear rivers, the white swan castle of the Galliot family, which is as white as a fairy tale and dreamlike, is already brightly lit, and every corner is full of cheerful atmosphere.
The enchanted plant hanging wind chimes and the alchemical lamps powered by the improved "magnetite" together constitute the lighting system of the castle. In this era when even the palace mainly uses gas lamps, whale oil and candles, it is an unimaginable luxury.
It can be said that every ray of light reflects the light of the golden lion.
Although tomorrow will be the official welcome ball that will be attended by the governors of the territories, garrison officers, members of parliament, large businessmen...and other powerful figures in the Kingdom of the New World, the small private banquet hosted by the Galriots today is also grand enough.
In addition to the four core members of the family, Aiwen, Olivia, Anita and Anqi all attended.
The three chief officers of the Hou State Army, Robert, William and Baldwin; several civilian officials represented by Hawkins; the first officer of the Cape Storm, Boris, and the captain Gary; and the sister’s lieutenant and navigator Jasmine, A total of more than a dozen core vassals of the Garriott family were also present.
On the guest side are Queen Livina, Chief Female Officer Linda, a group of extraordinary entourages, and two great knights.
At a long oak table covered with white cotton tablecloths, both the host and the guest took their seats one after another in accordance with the dining etiquette.
Snapped! Snapped!
After helping Livina to open the chair to seat her, Ivan sat down on the end of the long table away from the door, and patted his hands gently to signal the start of the banquet. Turning to introduce her by the way:
"Your Majesty, the New World is really far above the mainland in terms of product richness alone. Hersie has carefully designed a menu that will not be repeated during your seven-day stay. It will definitely make your trip worthwhile."
The pride in the words of the good help is obviously far above the products of the New World.
Livina's eyes flashed, and her hands couldn't help but shook hands slightly:
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it, Gentleman Galliot."
According to social etiquette, Li Wei Na, who changed into a purple evening dress and exposed her white shoulders, sat in the first position of Irvine's right hand. And Olivia, who attended the same gloriously as the hostess of the Galliot family, sat at the other end of the long table, facing Aiwen.
The retainers and guests sat in a staggered manner. The banquet is not just as simple as eating, but socializing at the table is the focus. The subordinates of the two parties enhance mutual understanding, and the communication in all aspects will be smoother in the future.
It is also one of the main purposes of this private banquet.
It is a pity that Milan, who took Apsuya home to see her parents, has not returned, and missed the opportunity to get close to the kingdom's core power circle.
Butler Midola and "Edwin" maid Sarah are in charge of the process of the banquet. Although the two are very clever but don't have a deep understanding of human society, they are not stage fright at all.
Bell Bell Bell...
Midola gently shook the silver bell in her hand, the banquet began, and the beautiful Eidolon maids filed in.
Today, Olivia has two main types of pre-dinner drinks, guests can choose by themselves, one is the maple syrup beer produced in New World, and the other is the rainbow cocktail born in Buffalo.
As for the main category of white wine in the pre-dinner wine, the girl gave up without hesitation. The reason is naturally because of the production process that is difficult to describe whether it is red grapes or white grapes...
"This colorful glass of wine is really beautiful and delicious."
Livina tasted a rainbow cocktail made with white rum, coconut liqueur, mint liqueur, orange juice, grenadine syrup, ice cubes and orange slices. The sweet and sour cocktail was very appetizing.
"Buffalo is rich in alcohol and fruit. This kind of mixed drinks, alcohol, juice, etc. are called cocktails. If your majesty likes it, you can ask the female officials to have a good conversation with our chef."
At the table, they didn't talk about any major national events. Livina's itinerary in the New World was seven days, and he was not in a hurry. Aiwen is more curious about the royal gossip:
"After His Majesty Isabella abdicated, is she still living in St. James's Palace?"
"Mother and grandpa went to study together. The kingdom wants to take Hilius instead. In addition to comprehensive national strength and military strength, the power of the titled knight level is the most important thing.
However, my grandfather felt that my aptitude was better than that of my mother, and my xinxing surpassed my sister as a genius, and was the most likely to be promoted to the title in the royal family. And I made an appointment with Annie to be the rare female titled knights in the entire Tulip history, right, Annie? "
Also wearing a gorgeous dress and curling up her emerald-colored long hair, Anita, with a touch of femininity, sat opposite Livigna, put down the dried maple syrup beer in her hand, and gently exhaled a sip of sweet alcohol:
"Of course, but I might be one step ahead, Wella."
If Li Wei Na can break through Tier 4 depends on the illusory luck, Anita, who is escorted by Ivan, has almost obtained the ticket for the titled knight in advance.
It may not even be as long as one or two years later.
Pushing the dining car, the well-trained maids started serving dishes neatly.
Different from normal banquets, although there are six main categories: appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes, staple foods, and desserts. But because the guests at a table are extraordinary, the amount of food far exceeds the normal standard.
The appetizer is an extra amount of enchanted wild beef tenderloin with foie gras in oil, a seafood platter with caviar, and a butter chicken crisp box, which is quite satisfactory.
The next soup is the sea monster clear soup made from the flesh and blood of the giant species "Sea Devil" cultivated with "artificial meat technology", and the sweet corn soup made with the "Golden Chain" modified product "Glass Gem Corn".
Although it may not be better than the craftsmanship of the court chef, because the novel ingredients have a special flavor, the guests including Livina couldn't help but be surprised.
"This salad is rich in content."
The Cobb Salad, a specialty of the New World, contains avocado, blue cheese, bacon, fried chicken, lettuce, and tomatoes. It is obviously far more in line with the taste of a great knight than a light vegan salad.
Soon, the banquet progressed to the main course.
Enchanted bison from the New World, a large piece of charred tomahawk steak; grilled lobster with cheese and creamy cheese with the charred aroma of garlic.
The highlight is the special main course of the New World, each with a roast turkey, a duck in the belly of the turkey, a chicken in the belly of the duck, and sausage and bacon in the belly of the chicken.
For the transcendent, the main course to solve this weight is just a piece of cake, and the raw materials are all demonized creatures transformed through the [Golden Chain], which is also a standard knight training resource.
Can you believe that a duck picked out on this table is better than a human in his lifetime?
The devil is hidden in the details.
Not only did they eat happily, but in the hearts of the Queen's entourage, they could not help but raise the assessment of the potential power of the Garriott family by several levels again.
When chatting with the retainers of the Garriott family, I couldn't help but restrain the supremacy of nothing.
While the main course was on the table, Midola had instructed the "Eidolons" to take out the red wine made by a group of girls as a table wine for the queen to taste.
The fruit rate of Cabernet Franc is about 92.5%, the juice yield is about 62%, and the wine yield is about 90%. Last year, a group of girls used 1,000 kilograms of Cabernet Franc to produce about 570 kilograms of grape juice and finally made 520 kilograms of top-quality wine.
Finally, 693 bottles of standard 750ml wine were filled, which was originally the best part of that batch of Cabernet Franc. With the assistance of Angel’s witchcraft, the quality of this batch of wines was excellent, and it was also ordered by Irving. Treasures for sale.
Only the four masters of the Garriott family and Queen Livina have a share, even if they are the Queen's entourage who is high enough to be eligible to be on the table, even if they crane their necks, they have no chance to taste.
Turning the goblet, the sweet smell of wine lingers on the tip of the nose.
Livina took a sip, showing that the peach-red wine flows through the tip of the tongue. The wine is medium-bodied, fragrant, and has delicious acidity. The mouth is smooth and soft. The fragrant grass flavor also contains the sweetness of mulberry and blackcurrant. .
After drinking this glass of wine unconsciously, I couldn't help but admire:
"Well, it's delicious. Although I haven't studied wine, I still can't believe it was made by you yourself.
By the way, I remember that the harvest season for Cabernet Franc grapes will last until the end of October, right? Would you like to teach me how to make wine? The wine made by hand will definitely taste better! "
Anita, whose taste buds were also conquered by this unique liquor, agreed:
"no problem!"
Of course, the material used cannot be the 4000 acres of vineyards planned on Long Island. The land was leveled last fall. Seedlings were transplanted in late April this year. There will be a small amount of fruit next year, and it will take 4-7 years to enter the high-yield period. .
Based on the current best-managed vineyards in Buffalo as a reference, the annual yield per mu in four years will probably reach about 2,000 kg. That is when the high-end products of Long Island Winery will be launched on a large scale.
There is a gimmick of making wine by Her Majesty herself, just like 20-year cellaring and 50-year cellaring. In the future, adding one drop to each bottle will instantly double the value!
Huh, what seems to be exposed?
Livina didn't expect so many, and some happily high-five with Anita:
"Okay, it's settled."
period.
Livina also stood up specially and toasted to the hostess Olivia who had carefully prepared all this.
However, after Olivia replied with impeccable etiquette to Livina, UU read www.uukanshu.com once again to look back at Her Majesty the Queen who was chatting with her fiancé happily, her delicate eyebrows could not help but slightly tufted up.
She didn't wait for her to think carefully about the sixth sense of a senior official wizard.
clang! clang! clang! ...
Suddenly from the distant sky came the long-distance chime that penetrated the soul of man.
A group of people with the corresponding authority in the room immediately connected to the [Mind Network] all over the New World.
In the pitch-black sky to the southwest, there seemed to be a fire that had burned through the entire sky, and the brilliant phosgene seemed to reflect the small half of the night sky in the line of sight into a golden red.
It is more brilliant than the aurora.
There is no need to open up their spiritual vision, as wizards, they can clearly feel the violent storm in the spiritual world.
"A large-scale spiritual overflow? It will happen at this time?"
