Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 182
Lord''s palace, restaurant.
Just after dark, two flaming crystal snails burst out in a crystal ball hanging on the roof.
The illusory flame radiates bright red light wantonly, which makes the whole restaurant bright.
The restaurant looks very simple, almost without any decorations. Compared with the restaurants of ordinary wealthy families, it''s almost the same. It doesn''t deserve the "Lord" status.
The rectangular dining table is not big. It is only half a meter wide and less than 2 meters long. There is a blue and white linen tablecloth on the table and three seats in front of the table.
Wide solid wood seats with obvious earth wind, design style is extremely simple, but it is very ergonomic.
The seat is also padded with a thick layer of wool cushion, and a cushion full of wool is placed on the back, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.
The only luxury furnishings are wool carpet on the floor and a full set of silver tableware on the dining table.
A young and beautiful maid is busy around the dining table, putting silver tableware and white napkin one by one in front of the table and chair, and the sound of metal collision is constantly ringing.
Two other maids were coming in and out of the dining room. They brought in large silver plates and put them on the dining table. Each plate was covered with a bright white metal cover.
In order to keep the food warm, prevent the taste of the food from being affected after it is cooled, and at the same time, preserve the color, fragrance and taste of the food as much as possible.
Adanis squatted on the carpet, looking back and forth at the three maids, looking up at the dining table from time to time, and the maids would touch its hairy head when they passed by.
Obviously, dinner is about to begin.
At this time, there was a sound of walking in the distance, and the sound of speaking could be heard.
"Good evening, miss Dinner Ready... " The
3 maid Kwai looked at each other and hurriedly accelerated her movements.
Just before the sound of footsteps appeared outside the gate, everything was put in place, and the maids stood in front of the table, waiting for the host to enter the restaurant.
"Hoo..." The door was opened, and a cool wind also poured in, blowing the corners of the maids'' skirts gently, and making them tremble slightly.
At this time, it is approaching the first snow month, the temperature is significantly lower, and the wind is stronger than that of the wind tracing month. Just over a month ago, the sea breeze, which was quite comfortable, has begun to make people avoid it.
As soon as the consul lady in a long skirt stepped into the dining room, the maids immediately pulled up the corners of her skirt and made a neat squatting ceremony, saying in unison, "good evening, miss!"
Silly fat that guy did not appear, since it began to be forced to lose weight, it was ruthlessly deprived of the girl''s qualification to enter the restaurant.
At the sight of the girl, adanis stood up and walked over in the cat''s step, rubbing her head against the girl''s slender hand.
A maid at the head of the group quickly welcomes her and takes off the white sheepskin shawl behind Angela. The other two maids pull open the seats in front of the dining table.
After the girl entered the restaurant, a maid who was guarding the door quickly closed the door to completely isolate the cold wind from the door.
"Miss, the Lord is cooking a dish in the kitchen. Mr. moss has sent a message that he won''t come back for dinner tonight..." The maid at the head hung her shawl on the hanger in the corner and reported quickly.
The girl sat on the cushion of the seat, leaning against the cushion, almost fell into it. She stretched out comfortably, showing her graceful body curve, and then asked curiously.
"Oh? Vivian, what''s Reno cooking? A few days ago, it was all cooked by the chef. Why did he suddenly want to cook today? "
Vivian said with a smile: "the Lord only brought back a bunch of strange looking small conches. It seems that he only plans to cook one dish. The other dishes are all made by old dandy..."
At this time, Renault came over with a slightly dissatisfied voice, "what''s a weird little conch? It''s called star ring snail... "
Along with this sentence came a huge silver plate with a diameter of more than one meter, which fell steadily on the table cloth, making only a slight sound.
This skill is quite fantastic, but no one in the restaurant shows a different color. Everyone has already seen it.
The girl and the three maids immediately looked at the silver plate. They saw that the food on the plate was almost piled up into a pyramid, and it was steaming hot. It was obvious that it had just come out of the pot.
As Vivian said, this is really a kind of weird little conch.
It''s "small" according to alien standards, because this kind of conch is only half the size of the fist, much smaller than the common conch and seashell.
It is said to be "strange" because on the light blue shell, there are not only six white sharp corners, but also a white ring connected to the thorn, just around the middle of the shell. The word "star ring" obviously gets its name.
"What''s the name of this dish?" Smelling the strong aroma, Angela couldn''t help swallowing.
"Star conch baked in cream." Renault appeared at the door of the restaurant and gave the answer.Three maids at the same time pull up the skirt salute, crisp said: "Lord!"
Renault nods and goes straight to the table. Adanis immediately "abandons" Angela, rushes to Renault, and walks around him.
The two maids immediately went to the table and uncovered the metal lid on the plate. The smell of the restaurant became stronger.
Another maid put a silver basin on a wooden bench, which was the tableware and dining table of adanis. The little thing squatted on the wooden bench, his eyes full of expectation.
Then the maids saluted again, stepped back and stood behind them.
At the beginning, Renault was not used to this "aristocratic style". He was just a common man on the earth. When he was surrounded by a group of pretty girls at dinner, he naturally felt uncomfortable, especially the maid''s appearance was quite high.
But people''s adaptability is amazing, just a week later, Renault was completely used to this battle.
These maids were the maids on the white tailed sparrow. When they came to the tidal islands with Renault and others, they had no place to go and had no skills, so they were accepted by Angela and became maids of the Lord''s mansion.
Their work is not as easy as they think.
He is not only responsible for all the chores of the whole Lord''s mansion, all kinds of room cleaning, sweeping, mopping, furniture cleaning, but also the sizing of clothes, carpets, curtains, etc.
The roads and gardens in the Lord''s mansion are also taken care of by them. The area of the whole manor is not small, and the maintenance work is quite a lot, which is absolutely not easy.
The above work alone is enough to keep them busy for a long time.
In addition, the maids sometimes took part in other work arranged by the consul. For example, the clothes given to the victims during the last disaster relief were almost all by the maids.
However, their salary is not high, which can be regarded as all kinds of bonus and welfare. Their monthly salary is less than 15 silver nals, and the only advantage is that food and housing are free.
However, none of the maids would give up the job because of the meager treatment.
Because of dignity.
Their experience is quite miserable. Many people in the territory know this, but no one dares to discriminate against them face to face. Even the leader''s dog has a higher status than ordinary people, let alone a maid.
On the table, in addition to baked star conch with cream, there are four dishes, namely, charcoal roasted lamb chops, salt fried cod fillets, lizard sausages and honey fruit salad. The main food is just baked white bread.
Each dish has enough weight, such as charcoal roasted lamb chops. There are at least 10 complete lamb chops on the plate, weighing more than 10 kg.
In addition to Renault, she also has a lot of food. She gets a lot of magic crystal stones from Renault, and her cultivation speed is greatly accelerated. Correspondingly, her food consumption has also increased a lot.
Even so, they can''t finish the food on the table, and the rest will be left to the maids.
For the maids, instead of abandoning it, they look forward to it.
Is it shameful to share food with your Lord?
No shame at all.
On the Lord''s table, the ingredients of every dish have been carefully selected, and the best chef is responsible for the cooking process. Even the leftovers can be called "delicacies", and ordinary people can''t eat them at all.
Even occasionally, you can eat the super food cooked by the Lord himself. You are willing to eat such leftovers every day.
After dinner starts, there is only the sound of chewing in the dining room, and the sound of knife and fork hitting the plate when cutting food.
It''s no surprise that Angela''s favorite dish is star conch baked with cream. Although the shell is small, it''s no trouble to eat, because there are two maids specially serving her.
A maid holds the shell of the snail and inserts a silver fork into the snail meat from the bottom opening to take down the large white snail meat. Then another maid cuts the snail meat into several pieces with a silver knife, sprinkles a few drops of fresh lemon juice, and finally delivers it to the girl.
Girls don''t have to do anything. They just need to enjoy themselves.
The flesh of the star ring snail is extremely tender and smooth. With fresh cream, the taste of the snail rises to a new level. The sea salt, lemon juice and white osmanthus in the soup relieve the greasiness brought by the cream and make the taste more hierarchical.
Another maid is responsible for taking care of adanis. This job is the easiest. Small things don''t need special service. Just add food to them regularly.
Renault didn''t ask the maid to serve him. In front of [read power], the maid was in the way. As long as his mind moved, the food would automatically fly to the plate in front of him.
In addition, he eats very fast, so there is a strange scene of food flying all over the table, which looks quite ornamental.
If he didn''t worry about the image, he didn''t even want to move his hand and let the food fly into the entrance automatically.
Half an hour later, at the end of dinner, Renault suddenly said with a smile, "Angela, I''ve invented a new trick recently. Do you want to see it?"Four heads came at once.
The smile on his face deepened: "but after watching the trick, you have to answer me a question?"
The girl''s eyes were suspicious.
Seeing this, Renault added a weight: "there are gifts too"
the girl thought for a moment and nodded excitedly.
