Chapter 311 A very filling dinner
Li Qi looked directly at Fengyanlan. Sometimes being too polite to outsiders would make the other person feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
Treating everyone equally will make the atmosphere more harmonious, but Li Qi guessed that the atmosphere should always be good where Miss Phoenix Eyes Lan is.
"This is my gift," said Miss Phoenix Eyes Blue.
A collection of poems.
"Thank you. Did you write this?"
Miss Lan with Phoenix Eyes nodded: "It's just some poems that I think are pretty good. Well, I wrote them myself."
Li Qi said: "I will put it in the most eye-catching place on the bookshelf, and I will appreciate it when I have time."
It's okay to let him read travel novels, but let him read poetry... but please spare him.
But you can put it on the bookshelf to make it look like you have a lot of books.
Miss Fengyanlan smiled and nodded, as long as her gift was treasured, it would be fine, although she hoped that Li Qi could take it out and look through it when he had nothing to do.
Cousin Bode said: "Father, they are sorry that they couldn't come over, but they also brought gifts."
"I'm also sorry that they can't come," Li Qi said. "After I finish my work, I will visit Green Forest Castle again."
They all knew how busy Li Qi was and understood that Li Qi could never spare time.
Looking at the two more gifts, Li Qi sighed, no wonder nobles like to find various reasons to gather. It turns out that they can keep receiving gifts.
Grandpa and uncle were so open in their work, even if no one came, gifts were delivered.
Compared to the gifts given by the three of them, what grandpa gave was much more luxurious.
A piece of light chain armor, the work of a top master blacksmith!
Hold it in your hand and feel the weight, no more than two pounds!
What kind of concept is this? A set of metal chain armor is so thin that it weighs about the same as an ordinary pair, and is even lighter than leather armor.
Of course, this set of chain armor is very thin, like a set of tulle.
There is definitely a master blacksmith in Lintawan who is far superior to Chui Na!
In comparison, Zhui Na is far from being called a master blacksmith. She just has extraordinary strength, so the effect of blacksmithing is better. There is still a big gap in craftsmanship.
My uncle gave me an exquisite porcupine badge.
The porcupine's eyes are decorated with gems and sparkle in the sun.
Another masterful piece of work.
"I love it," said Reacher.
He directly put the badge on his chest and wore it on the lord of the porcupine family. Only then did this porcupine badge really have its own value.
Li Qi arranged for the servants to take the three of them into the rooms prepared by the castle to stay.
The three of them came a few days early, and the birthday party was still early, but the brothers could also have a good exchange of feelings when they met.
Dinner of the day.
Li Qi asked the chef to show off his cooking skills.
Dinner parties are the best way to win face for the lord.
The first side dish is chicken feet. As one of his trump cards for "two things in one", chicken feet in black bean sauce is a must-have.
The only pity is that Li Qi really knows nothing about fermenting tempeh, so he can only pass on this task and let the chef apprentices study it on their own.
But it's just chicken feet, soft and peeled off the bones, which is definitely a delicacy.
When he went to Green Linbao before, he found that his grandfather's family had a high tolerance for sweet and greasy food. This may be due to his limited cooking skills, so the dishes served this time were mainly sweet.
The egg tarts were served next, and the smell came from a long way away.
Bode and the others, who originally wanted to chat at the dinner table, were completely attracted by the scent after smelling it.
The egg tarts at Porcupine Collar are unusual. They are no ordinary tarts. Not only are they crispy on the outside but tender on the inside, but the eggs used today come from the evolved Warcraft Chicken, which tastes great.
Next is the honey-glazed barbecued pork, the taste is slightly different from Li Qi's memory.
Li Qi searched for a long time but couldn't find any plums, but there were some sour berries with a similar taste. The sour plum sauce made from it went perfectly with the barbecued pork.
But these are not the main dishes. Later, they are served with portions, including steamed pork ribs, salt-baked chicken, crispy roast pork, etc.
The table was full, and every dish the three of them had never seen before.
Bode put a piece of it into his mouth with a fork. He had never experienced the taste before. He just thought it was delicious, very delicious.
The Porcupine Collar is close to the sea, so of course seafood is indispensable on the table.
When the Iron Valley and Porcupine were sailing, they would occasionally throw nets into the sea and catch some large seafood.
Seafood is the main course tonight.
Huge lobsters were served, as well as boiled shrimps, salt and pepper shrimps, oysters, crabs, scallops and other seafood, and a table was filled with them.
The most painful thing to eat at this table is Miss Fengyan Lan. She is just an ordinary person. After eating three or two bites of this person and one bite of that person, her stomach is full, and she can only watch the other people eating pitifully.
Especially Li Qi, as the most voracious person on the scene, received enough attention from Miss Lan with phoenix eyes.
After watching Li Qi say a few words to Bode, Bode's eyes lit up and he took a big bite of the oysters. Water hyacinth was attracted by the glutton and he also ate one.
Ah, so supportive!
But delicious.
But in a blink of an eye, she saw Li Qi changing the dishes. The rich aroma made her very curious, but she really couldn't eat it.
"Li Qi, what does that dish taste like?"
"You mean grilled scallops? Try them yourself."
"I can't eat anymore..."
Wronged.
"Well, it's delicious," Li Qi commented.
"How delicious is it?"
"It's even more delicious than the one you just ate."
The grilled oysters just now are already the limit of Miss Water hyacinth...but if it is more delicious.
"Don't force yourself to eat when you're full," said Stacie, who had already stopped. "Eating too much is not good for your health."
"What are you eating?" Phoenix Eyes Lan asked with envy and curiosity as she looked at Stacie who had put down her fork but picked up the spoon again.
"It's ice cream, a specialty of Porcupine Territory!" Li Qi interjected.
The hyacinthian blue eyes blinked, looked at Stacie and asked: "Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, it's delicious." Stacie nodded, finished one portion, and picked up another.
"How delicious is it?"
“Better than seared scallops.”
"..." She definitely did it on purpose!
Phoenix Eyes Blue was devastated, why was there so much delicious food but her belly was so small!
Fortunately, no more food was served later, which made her feel a little calmer.
"Before, my father said that Porcupine Collar's life was poor," Bode sighed and said, "I didn't expect your life to be better than I imagined."
It was really the first time in his life that he had eaten these delicious foods, and he believed that his father had never eaten them either.
"I usually don't have any hobbies, I just like to delve into food," Li Qi said, "But as a lord, you can't just pursue food, right?"
"You are a lord, I am not." Bode shook his head, indicating that he did not have a title yet.
And enjoy the rights that are the nobility.
He asked in a low voice: "Oysters really have that effect."
"If you want a strong effect, I have better pills," Reacher said.
There are ladies at the dinner table, so it is best not to talk too much about excessive topics.
Staci also said: "You must tell me how to make ice cream."
"That's very simple." Li Qi nodded: "Of course, but we'd better talk while eating, otherwise the ice cream will melt."
The three of them were eating ice cream. Only Fami Pott looked at the three of them with envy. She really couldn't eat any more.
After dinner.
The three people who were tired from traveling returned to their respective rooms to rest.
A large amount of uneaten food on the table will also be handed over to the servants.
