Chapter 30 Earl Marceau's Heartfelt Voice

The sun had just set and the sky hadn't completely darkened yet. The Jinniu Hotel on Central Avenue was already brightly lit and full of people.

"Viscount Servis is here."

"Baron Joseph and his wife are here"

"Lord Troplow is coming with his family."

As the doorman sang, aristocrats in gorgeous dresses walked into the Jinniu Hotel.

Led by their own male and female servants, they talked and laughed with each other and walked into the main venue of the Moon Hall.

As soon as you enter the banquet hall, the first thing that catches your eyes is countless colorful flowers, which are carefully decorated in every corner of the hall. Under the reflection of countless candlelights above the head, they emit bursts of floral fragrance.

There is a huge long dining table in the middle of the hall, and there are small metal plates on it, which contain various fruits cut into small pieces.There are several smaller dining tables next to them, with freshly squeezed juices.As a dessert before the meal, it is served to the nobles who come one after another.

Zhang Ang was also busy in the back kitchen, not only cooking by himself, but also directing the dozen or so cooks one by one to prevent them from getting nervous and making mistakes.

At this time, a male servant came over and reported to Zhang Ang: "The earl and his party have already set off, and they will arrive in less than a quarter of an hour."

"Then prepare quickly, and I will go change clothes first."

The male servant was about to retreat when Zhang Ang stopped him again: "By the way, is the musketeer here?"

"He came early, alone on the balcony in the southwest corner, not knowing what he was doing."

"Oh, I see. Alright, go down. Old Ivan, keep an eye on the kitchen. I'll go to meet the Earl." Zhang Ang ordered old Ivan to go out of the kitchen.

**********************
D'Artagnan arrived at the Taurus Hotel very early, and after dismissing a group of nobles who wanted to strike up a conversation, he found a remote balcony to prepare for the next banquet.

He stood alone on the balcony, kept making various invitation etiquette gestures, and muttered to himself:

"This beautiful lady, can I...can I ask you to dance?"

"Oh, Sophie, you are so beautiful that even the moon god is jealous, can I have the honor to get a dance from you?"

"Oh, poor thing, I think you need a good dance."

"I think we should go to a dance, that's not right."

After practicing for a while, he practiced the dance steps again.

"Well, first left foot forward, then three steps back, uh, two steps"

"Then there is a spin, I remember Aramis taught, it's a spin, a little turn"

"Ah, yes, that's it, so that you can hug your waist, if the atmosphere is right."

DArtagnan practiced selflessly on the balcony just like he usually practiced spear skills.

**************************
"Count Marceau is here with his daughter Miss Sophie!"

The musicians who had been preparing for a long time played cheerful music, and the servants also rolled out a roll of red woolen blanket from the Moon Pavilion, all the way to the gorgeous carriage of the Earl's house.

The nobles had already received the news and came to greet them outside the door. Zhang Ang also changed into his dress in time and squeezed into the crowd.

Count Marceau got out of the carriage, and also led Miss Sophie in a white dress from the carriage.

Zhang Ang only felt that the surroundings were suddenly darkened, as if all the light from the candles had been taken away by the girl who was slowly walking down from the carriage, it was truly dazzling and dazzling.

Earl Marceau led his daughter slowly into the venue, and everyone on both sides congratulated Earl Marceau.

Earl Marceau was so happy that his eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth raised, it was a smile he couldn't hide.

He walked to the high platform in front of the hall and began to deliver the opening speech of the banquet: "Today is an important day, a day of celebration. Because my daughter, my little Sophie, has finished her study trip in Paris and officially returns to Beijing. Arrived in my hometown. This is a day that I miss day and night, and it is also a day that our city of Luntu misses day and night. In the past few years when she left, I have had a very bad life. I miss her day and night, for her Worried, worried about her. Every time I receive a letter from her home, I will be so happy that I can’t sleep, and I read it over and over again. I wish I could go to Paris to see her right away, solve her problems, and help her Provide protection. But, from this day on, such bitter days are gone forever! My little Sophie is back! And she has promised that she will stay with us in London and never leave his poor old father"

Speaking of which, the majestic master of the city, the master of martial arts, the respected Earl Marceau, was sobbing. After finally calming down, he wiped away his tears and continued: "Okay, okay, I am so happy and excited. Today's dinner is for everyone to be happy and to celebrate this good news. I announce that the dinner has officially started!"

The crowd clapped, cheered, and dispersed.

Several prominent nobles also walked towards Earl Marceau.

Zhang Ang raised his hand and clapped.

Teams of men and women dressed in uniform filed in, each carrying a metal dinner plate in their hands.

The original fruit juices were removed and replaced by all kinds of delicious delicacies and mellow wines.

On the largest dining table in the middle, there are roasted lamb with golden sauce and fish fillets in clear soup; there are greasy grilled steaks and refreshing vegetable salad; there are scorched caviar on bread and white stuffed buns; There are steamed cod and chopped chicken; there are savory meatballs and sweet pudding.There are all kinds of delicacies.

On the smaller table next to it, there are brown ale, rose wine, fragrant fruit wine, golden honey water, and various scented teas that can remove greasy.All kinds of drinks are available for anyone to use.

Under the guidance of the servants, the nobles picked up the metal dinner plates one after another and began to taste the food on the table.

Everyone, as long as they take the first bite, they can't stop at all. They are like hungry ghosts reincarnated, hungry and eager to eat.As soon as a plate of dishes was brought up, it was eaten up.

Many nobles simply discarded their dinner plates, picked up the dishes containing the dishes, and poured them directly into their mouths.

Fortunately, Zhang Ang had foreseen it a long time ago, and the ingredients were adequately prepared. Many dishes were ready in the afternoon, which made the speed of serving the dishes barely keep up with the consumption of these big eaters.

This scene is very different from other ordinary gatherings where everyone talks to each other while eating.

Because everyone is so focused on eating that they completely forget that a party is a social occasion.

Zhang Ang also found the proud musketeer among the crowd.

He was puffing his cheeks and eating and stuffing, and he was out of breath.

"What do you think of the food in our small town, compared to Paris?" Zhang Ang asked him.

"It's not too bad. I take it back. What I said is indeed no worse than Paris." D'Artagnan's cheeks swelled up. He was really embarrassed to say that it was not delicious, so he had to admit that he was wrong. talk.

Zhang Ang also saw Miss Sophie, who was taking small bites of a plate of honey pudding, her two charming eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.
