As the host of this banquet, Lawrence was the last to enter the tent that served as the banquet hall. Because he wants to greet the guests at the door with Safir. After he was sure that all the guests he had said before had arrived, he and Saifei entered the banquet site together.

After giving a brief speech of only seven or eight minutes, Lawrence announced that the banquet had begun. Because as a young nobleman, he is not suitable and does not have the qualifications to make a long speech at this time. More importantly, he himself is bored with this kind of red tape, so he will naturally not play the annoying role when he speaks.

Anyway, everyone knows the theme of this banquet, and those specific businesses are discussed by their respective professionals. Not to mention that there are quite a few nobles here who just made a special trip to attend noble gatherings. So Lawrence only needs to make a short courtesy welcome speech.

After the welcome speech, Lawrence began to greet the important guests individually under the guidance of the Bayer butler. Others also started their own social interactions. For the nobles in this area, because everyone is on some islands, there are not many opportunities to bring everyone together because of the barrier of the sea. So after having the opportunity of this gathering, everyone naturally got together and socialized.

It took forty to fifty minutes, and Lawrence finally got the goals that he needed to socialize in this banquet. Then he came to the long table with Syfiel, picked up the silver plate and started filling the plate with food. On the side of the long table, several servants pushed the cart out of the kitchen to replenish food on the table.

"Ha, there are a lot of delicious foods." Seeing the food on the large silver plate on the table and noticing that there was no one around, Syfiel whispered to Lawrence. "I didn't even eat to welcome guests this morning, and I drank very little water. Now I feel hungry in my stomach."

"So you can have a good meal now." Lawrence said as he picked up a piece of honey-roasted capybara meat with a tong and placed it on Syfiel's plate. "Anyway, the formal etiquette work we have to do today is over, and we can relax in the next time."

"This is the best news I have heard today." Said Safir took some Yingzhou-style sashimi and raw shellfish sashimi from another plate and put them on his plate. Lawrence noticed that it was probably because the nobles were older, so they basically didn't touch these specialties of Yingzhou flavor.

"Actually, these things taste very delicious, but unfortunately they are not suitable for people with a bad stomach." Said Safir took a small dish of pearl oysters with soy sauce and mustard from the side, and then used one for the same purpose. Tweezers made of pearl oysters added a few slices of sashimi dipped in these condiments and put them in the mouth, and then squinted his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

After he finished eating the food in his mouth, he suddenly turned his head and asked Lawrence who was eating roasted guinea pig meat next to him. "By the way, where is your little doll friend, Nora? I remember she likes all kinds of food, why didn't you see her at the banquet today?"

"Nara is in the kitchen." Lawrence said vaguely because of the food in his mouth. "She had to be the poison test officer at the banquet today, so I asked her to go to the kitchen early this morning. If I'm not wrong, she definitely tasted every food the first time today."

"What a clever little guy." Saifeier smiled and shrugged. Obviously, the little doll planned to take this opportunity to have a good meal. As for the taste of being a drug examiner, it was incidental at best. But after finding this reason, she was able to have a good meal before everyone had a meal.

The dishes at the buffet banquet today are divided into three parts, one of which is traditional dishes, such as roast chicken stuffed with various spices and roasted with onions. Roasted pigeon with small tomatoes, wild herbs and mashed goat cheese, and roast beef with cheese and bread.

The other part is the special dishes of Yingzhou, such as rice **** with various pickled dishes, fish or meat. A broth made with good fish meat, fish bones and some herbs. It also contains a variety of vegetables, a variety of fresh sashimi sashimi, and a thin layer of oil. Various fried foods.

The last part is the special food of this sea area, for example, fried whale meat, with large pieces of whale fat and dried lobster eggs. The tarantulas on the surface are roasted with delicate techniques, and their teeth are taken off and placed aside as toothpicks. There are even wild boar meat from the past two days, grilled with Tauren’s unique method, and served with hot sauce and cold fish soup.

Compared with the aristocratic banquet dishes of Lawrence's last life, the cuisine of this banquet still looks rough in terms of cooking methods. However, the quality of the raw materials is very good, and at the same time fresh enough. And for Lawrence, the best thing about these dishes is that they are generous in quantity, which allows him to fill his empty stomach.

"Your Excellency, Earl Sauer." But just before Lawrence and Syfiel started eating for less than ten minutes, an elderly man's voice rang from his side. This made him have to put down a pile of fried food and looked up, only to find that the Count Santo Domingo was greeting him.

Santo Domingo is a small island with a three-day voyage from the island of Novi Sauer, with an area of ​​only 110 the island of Novi Sauer. Because of the distance, Lawrence had basically had no dealings with the earl before, only that the earl himself was an expert fighter. At the same time, the island was rich in cane sugar and was considered one of the wealthier islands within the Star Sea.

So he felt a little strange to the earl who took the initiative to greet him~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, the two people had never dealt with each other except that Lawrence had just arrived here and sent a courtesy letter to the earl. It's just the first time we met. So he didn't understand why the other party greeted him so enthusiastically.

"Ah, it turned out to be the Count of Santo Domingo. Hello, I am very glad to see you come to my banquet. It makes me feel very honored. Because I have only been here for more than half a year, so what can I do? Please forgive me for Zhou's place." Lawrence said to the earl with a polite smile. "By the way, do you have anything to do with me?"

"I just want to thank you, especially for the new tea you invented. To me, it tastes much better than the bitter traditional tea." The gray-bearded earl raised the crystal glass in his hand. At this time, Lawrence noticed that there was half a cup of iced milk tea in his cup, which obviously suits his appetite.

The nobles always like to go around all kinds of twists when they speak. For example, the Count of Santo Domingo emphasized the word bitterness, which was obviously implying something. The special product on the island that thinks of him is cane sugar. It was already very obvious what the other party wanted to express to Lawrence.

"Bitterness is naturally worthy of aftertaste, but bitterness does not mean everything. The taste of tea is so, so is life." Lawrence said politely. "I think it should be a good thing to bring some sweetness into the bitterness, what do you think?"

"Of course, of course." After listening to Lawrence, the Earl of Santo Domingo smiled and stroked his beard and nodded, then looked at Lawrence and Seifer standing side by side and said. "Thank you for your warm hospitality today. I don't think I will disturb you young people now."
