Vol 2 Chapter 326: Banquet


   In the study, Jon and Mrs. Greengrass had a long conversation.
  
   Until the polite house elf Hod knocked gently on the study door.
  
   His sharp voice sounded from outside the door: "Madam, and Mr. Hart... The banquet is ready, do you need to start?"
  
   "You can start!" Diana Greengrass raised her tone and said to the door.
  
   "Okay, follow the orders" Hod, the house elf, took the order.
  
   Then, Mrs. Greengrass stood up and looked at Jon, with a warm and gentle tone: "Jon, shall we go to the restaurant now?"
  
   "Okay, madam!" Jon also stood up quickly, saluting respectfully.
  
   At this moment, Jon suddenly realized that Mrs. Greengrass had pushed a small bag of things in front of him.
  
   "This is..." He couldn't help but was stunned, and looked at the opponent with a puzzled look.
  
   Mrs. Greengrass smiled at him and motioned for him to open it.
  
   The craftsmanship of the bag is exquisite, with a thin strip of gold ribbon engraved on it... Jon picked it up carefully, it was heavier than expected, and the contents slammed together and "bang" and "bang".
  
   is a bag of gold...a lot of them, maybe thousands of gold gallons.
  
   "Mrs. Greengrass, this..." Jon said hesitantly.
  
"Accept it, since you want to save Astoria, I must do my best...what help is needed, you can directly let the owl come to me, you are welcome." Mrs. Greengrass continued to smile and said , Her tone is very calm, but at the same time there are some irrefutable implications in it.
  
Jon didn't make any more excuses, but took the bag of gold coins and nodded solemnly: "I understand that I will do my best to save Astoria... "
  
   "Of course, I believe you, you will succeed!"
  
  ……
  
   A few minutes later, following Diana Greengrass, Jon came to the restaurant of the manor.
  
   A small but exquisite room... On the velvety black ceiling, with a little bit of starlight, it is obvious that there is magic on the ceiling; the gorgeous crystal lamp casts a faint light, making the whole restaurant look elegant and quiet.
  
  The soft saxophone sounded from an invisible place, filling the entire restaurant; Jon's previously a little nervous and anxious mood, heard this song, and suddenly calmed down.
  
   On the round wooden table, there is a picture of an elk with its front hoof raised high, looking at the direction of the door; there are only four chairs around, and the others have been moved away.
  
Hod, the house elf, and Emily, the old house elf before, all wore aprons and looked a little funny; after seeing Jon walk in, Hodbi respectfully bowed to Jon. , Although Emily looked unhappy, she still nodded at Jon dumbly.
  
Daphne and sisters Astoria Greengrass came to the restaurant a few steps earlier than them; they held hands and looked like they had reconciled... Astoria turned around and smiled at Jon Smiled; Daphne just nodded bluntly, then turned around, avoiding Jon's sight.
  
   Mrs. Diana Greengrass strode to the farthest position and sat down; then she stretched out her hand to signal Jon to sit in the guest seat opposite her. Daphne and Greengrass sat on the seats on either side.
  
   On the right hand side of each seat, there is a white porcelain vase; a pink rose in the vase is in full bloom, exuding a faint fragrance, and smells very comfortable.
  
Jon glanced at his surroundings calmly, and saw that Astoria on one side took out the rose from the porcelain vase. With a light hand, the rose turned into powder and dissipated in the air... Then, A folded tablecloth appeared in the porcelain vase, and Astoria took it out and spread it out in front of him.
  
   Jon quickly followed suit, taking out the tablecloth from the porcelain vase and spreading it in front of him.
  
   "Madam, Mr. Hart, can you start?" The sharp voice of the house elf Hodder sounded from Jon's side.
  
   "I have no opinion!" Jon quickly turned his head and responded.
  
   "Go ahead!" Madam Greengrass ordered.
  
   "Yes!" Hodder saluted them separately, then stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.
  
  ……
  
   knives, forks, plates and other utensils appeared in front of them in turn, and a basket also appeared at the same time. The basket was filled with slices of sliced ​​bread.
  
   "Mr. Hart, when eating bread, do you prefer butter, jam, or wine?" Hodder asked softly with a tray on his head that was larger than his body.
  
   "Jam will do..." Jon replied, taking a portion of jam from the tray.
  
Passed the juice and jam to the Greengrass family of three. Hod snapped his fingers again, the tray above his head disappeared, and a dish appeared in the center of the table. The portion was not large, and it was placed in four. Within a spoon.
  
   "Mr. Hart, this is smoked salmon with caviar!" Hodder yelled softly, while the user of the floating curse caused the salmon in the four spoons to fly onto the plates of the four wizards.
  
   Jon tasted the smoky flavor and the deliciousness of the caviar. The taste is good~EbookFREE.me~, which greatly increased the appetite.
  
   "Mr. Hart, do you prefer cream soup, seafood soup, or borscht?" Hodder's voice echoed behind Jon again.
  
   "Whatever...whatever..." Jon was already a little bored by this tedious process.
  
  ……
  
   "Okay, Hod!" Mrs. Diana Greengrass took the initiative to speak: "It doesn't have to be so formal, just let Mr. Hart do it himself."
  
   "Oh, ma'am!" the house elf bowed to his mistress, and then stepped back.
  
   Jon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
  
   Mrs. Greengrass seemed to see through his embarrassment. She smiled and said, "No need to be cautious, Jon...just as if he was in his own home."
  
   "Thank you, madam!" Jon replied quickly.
  
   The house elves also snapped their fingers for the last time, one after another, one plate after another, appeared on the table one after another
  
   On every plate, there is a delicious meal. From the grilled prawns, noodles with cuttlefish sauce, grilled scallops... to the steaks, lamb stewed with potatoes, roasted goose with apples... to mango pudding, caramel egg pudding, chocolate pudding...
  
   It is richer than Jon imagined, and the taste is quite good.
  
   Of course, Jon still pays attention to his actions as much as possible to make himself look polite.
