Chapter 68 · Dinner
While Li Jiaming and others were enjoying dinner in the luxurious house in York, a dense wing vibration sounded in a cave where several people stayed when they left the Mythical Beast Forest, and not long after a large number of bats flew out of it.
The bats are the size of children. The bigger the bats that fly out, the bigger the bats that fly out. The bats that gradually fly out are not only black, but also silver bats that begin to appear. In the end, there are even three golden bats that fly out of the cave and spread their wings under the moon. Compared with a small plane, a large number of bats fly in exactly the direction of St. Jordan.
At this time, Li Jiaming was holding a fork in his right hand to a plate of fried noodles-like food in front of him. When he ate on earth, he used chopsticks. Now there are only knives and forks, which is really troublesome, and Li Jiaming's thick left hand is really not easy to use this small knife.
Li Jiaming tried several times, either picking up one or two noodles, or a large ball is not convenient to eat.
At the dinner table, Lilo York Kevin talked about some interesting things that happened around him, which caused Li Luo to laugh from time to time. Seeing that they used knives and forks like their own arms, Li Jiaming was puzzled. Although he had seen a little bit of knife and forks on Earth's TV before, the actual operation still made Li Jiaming very confused. Knot, but then again, Liluo is worthy of being a princess who grew up in the royal family. It's really a pleasure to see her eating.
Carl and they don't seem to have anything in common. It seems that he hasn't eaten delicious food for a long time. A man keeps eating, while Mondo in black robe eats something and looks at Li Jiaming from time to time.
Li Jiaming ignored whether Mondo was paying attention to himself. He hadn't eaten much food for a long time. Seeing a lot of unknown food on the table, he decided to eat the noodles in front of him first.
clicked, and a crisp sound suddenly occurred on the table, which attracted everyone's attention to Li Jiaming - when he rolled up the noodles again, Li Jiaming accidentally chopped the plate containing the noodles too hard.
"Hahaha, it seems that this princess's mythical beast master doesn't know much about the etiquette of aristocratic dining!" York said sarcastically
Hearing York's words, Liluo's face turned red and seemed to be a little embarrassed. After all, Li Jiaming was his mythical beast master.
"Hum..." Noticing Liluo's expression, Li Jiaming smiled coldly, threw the knife and fork in his hand on the table and stood up and said, "It's not that I don't understand etiquette, but the way I eat is different from yours!"
"Why is it different? Do you eat it directly with your hands? Haha" York laughed a few times after saying that, and Kevin and Mondo next to him laughed twice. Carl buried himself in eating and didn't seem to hear what they said, but Lilo's expression seemed unnatural.
"Mr. York, your chair is not expensive, is it?" Li Jiaming's voice was a little unpleasant, but not because York laughed at him, but because he saw Liluo's expression and felt that he seemed to have lost face for Li Luo.
"It's not too expensive. It's just a few thousand gold coins, Kevin, you know, sometimes it's not easy for me to buy something cheap. Why are you planning to squat in a chair and eat? Haha" York continued to laugh
"Mr. York, what you said is a little too much. After all, it is my mythical beast guard!" Seeing that Li Jiaming seemed to be a little unhappy, Liluo reminded him.
"Please don't mind, my princess, York is a rude person. He speaks more directly, and Kevin also knows that I don't mean any harm, just as an interesting thing." York spread out his hands.
Since York said so, Liluo couldn't say anything. She just looked at Li Jiaming worriedly.
"Mr. York, would you mind if I take a piece of wood from your chair? Please don't mind. I just want to cover up the dining style of the real aristocracy in my hometown." Li Jiaming smiled, but the so-called real aristocratic way of eating is indeed made up by him.
"Well, okay! It's up to you, I think everyone also wants to see it." York nodded.
Seeing York nodded, Li Jiaming stood at a distance and reached out to take down a piece of wood on the chair. His left hand waved continuously. In the wood chips flying, two wooden sticks about 15 centimeters long and the thickness of the little finger appeared in Li Jiaming's hand. The surface of the sticks had been polished very smooth.
Mondo's eyes in the black robe flashed repeatedly. From Li Jiaming's action of cutting wood blocks, it could be seen that the bone spur of his left arm was extremely sharp, and Li Jiaming's accuracy was very sharp, and the thickness and length of the two wooden sticks were exactly the same.
"This thing is called chopsticks in our place." Li Jiaming went to the dining table and showed York the wooden stick in his hand.
"Ha, how to eat two pieces of wood?" York doesn't seem to care
Then Li Jiaming moved a plate of food that looked like beef in front of him, put down his chopsticks in his right hand and picked up a knife to quickly cut a few knives on the beef. A complete piece of beef was cut into several small pieces of meat by Li Jiaming.
Li Jiaming picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef in the gaze of everyone on the table and put it into his mouth.
"It tastes good!" Li Jiaming praised that this meat is really similar to beef.
"Cut, what's so difficult about this! Let me have a try!" York stood up and took the chopsticks from Li Jiaming's hand and clipped the cut beef, but he couldn't clip it up. With a little force, one chopstick broke into two sections.
"I'm sorry, what's the name of yours..." York smiled. "However, I admit that it's really difficult. Is this really your aristocratic dining etiquette?"
"Of course, this is called chopsticks. Do you suggest I use your chair?" Li Jiaming asked
"No problem, I have a lot of chairs like this, you can do whatever you want," York shrugged.
This time, Li Jiaming made five pairs of chopsticks and sent them to Lilo Kevin and York Mondo. As for Carl, who had been eating wildly, he took care of him.
Li Jiaming held chopsticks in his right hand and gently put a small section of noodles into his mouth and said
"Use chopsticks to enjoy food, clean and elegant, and exercise your fingers, which is good for your health. The real nobles in our place use such chopsticks!"
Everyone on the table looked at Li Jiaming in surprise and began to practice using the chopsticks in their hands, but many people who had just learned could not use it well. After a while, Kevin was the first person to pick up meat with chopsticks. The swordsman's strength really learned everything quickly, and the second person to learn was York. Only Lilo and Mondo seem to be a little stupid and can't pick them up.
"Wow, I have to say that these chopsticks are amazing, but they are indeed elegant, much more elegant than we use knives and forks!" York picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Liluo simply put down her chopsticks and looked at Li Jiaming with beautiful eyes.
Li Jiaming would not have thought that his actions today have completely brought the use of Chinese chopsticks into the mainland of Aland. In the future, the aristocracy on the Aland Road will mainly eat with chopsticks, and the style and material of chopsticks will be more luxurious.
"Princess Lilo! York, take the liberty to ask, distinguished, do you need help here?" York put down his chopsticks and the dinner was almost done. It's time to talk about business.
"Oh? Mr. York, what help do you think Lilo needs? Lilo looked at York and smiled
"For example, Lord Shada!" York said this directly, and as soon as he said it, even Carl stopped eating and held the golden sword behind him in one hand.
"Oh! Mr. York, how did you see it?" Liluo was stunned, but still smiled and said that after many things, Liluo became more and more mature, and the temperament of the emperor became more and more obvious.
"To tell you the truth, Her Royal Highness, York had the idea of going to the imperial city for development very early, so there are some York's eyeliners in the imperial city, so he knows something that has not yet been announced." York's eyes are staring at Lilo
"Yoke, what are you talking about? What else can happen to the imperial city?" Kevin looked at the tense atmosphere in the air and said a few words
"Kevin! Don't you really know?" York stared at Kevin
"Hey!" Kevin laughed twice, and now he knows something.
"Oh, York, what answer do you want from our princess?" Li Jiaming walked to Liluo. Although Liluo was becoming more and more mature, she was still a 16-year-old girl. Her slightly flustered eyes showed the panic in her heart, and Li Jiaming subconsciously wanted to protect Li Luo.
"I am willing to provide Princess Lilo with everything I can to help! People! Wealth! Things! Because I am a citizen of the loyal Siffin Kingdom!" York looked at Li Jiaming and said word by word
"I can see your loyalty!" Liluo smiled, and Li Jiaming stood beside her to make her feel at ease a lot. It seemed that as long as the man around her was still there, there was nothing she could not do.
"Not only that! York! There is no free lunch in the world! Now that we have talked about it! Then explain what you want!" Li Jiaming picked up the glass with red wine in front of Liluo and took a sip. He didn't suggest that Liluo had used it at all. After drinking it, he couldn't help frowning. This thing was really bad.
"I want to be a real nobleman, not a rich man in this remote western city!" I want to be a minister!" York sat back in his chair.
Don't you think you are doing well in this St. Lotin? Rich and powerful, everyone knows! Why do you want to go to the imperial city? Know that the imperial city may not be as good as you think!" Li Jiaming said lightly
"I knew you were different! Your Excellency the Mythical Beast Master! You shouldn't be a simple escort! Doesn't Princess Lilo want to introduce him to us? York raised his glass and nodded to Li Jiaming.
"Well, since you want to know, let me introduce again. This is Li Jiaming! As everyone can see, he is a mythical beast master, and he is my fiance!" Liluo took Li Jiaming's arm affectionately.
Liluo's acceptance stunned Kevin. Although he guessed that Li Jiaming's identity was unusual, at most, after being a minister, he didn't expect Li Jiaming to be Li Luo's fiance.
York stood up with a palm and saluted Li Jiaming and said, "It turned out to be your son-in-law. Please forgive York's previous rudeness."
Li Jiaming waved his hand to show that he didn't mind and continued, "There is an old saying in my hometown that I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!"
"Chicken head? Phoenix tail?" York showed a confused expression, and it was obvious that there were no two creatures in the Aland Continental Book.
"Let's say this! I would rather be the boss of a group of hoodlums than be a minister's subordinate! Do you understand this?" Li Jiaming changed his words.
"Of course!" York showed a clear expression, "But I don't know, I'm rich!" It can be said that 70% of the gold coins in the whole city of Saint-Lotan are concentrated in my hands!"
