Ge Zewen led Gale and Ilsa to the center of the venue.
In the center of the year-end party, there is a large open space, which is specially used for dancers to dance and musicians to play.
After Ge Zewen came to the open space in the center of the venue, he stopped, looked around at the guests with a smile on his face, and then said loudly:
“Thank you all for coming to this year-end dinner!”
"I hope everyone here can enjoy tonight!"
"Okay, I don't like talking about empty nonsense, so that's it for the opening remarks!"
As soon as Ge Zewen finished speaking, there were bursts of chuckles in the venue.
Even Su Cheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Ge Zewen is famous for not giving empty, boring opening remarks.
Therefore, whenever there was an important occasion and Ge Zewen was required to give a speech or make an opening statement, he would only say one or two sentences and then end.
It has to be said that there are still many people who like Ge Zewen's preferences. For example, Su Cheng likes Ge Zewen's preferences very much. After all, no one would like to listen to long and empty opening remarks.
After finishing his brief opening remarks, Ge Zewen waved to Gale who was standing aside, and then Gale handed Ge Zevin a glass of wine from nowhere.
After receiving the glass of wine from Gale, Gozevin raised the glass of wine high so that everyone in the venue could see the glass of wine.
Ge Zewen raised the glass of wine in his hand high for a few seconds, then returned it to his lips and drank it down in one gulp.
After drinking all the wine in the wine glass in his hand, Ge Zewen returned the wine glass to Gale and took a deep breath.
"I declare that the year-end dinner of the 289th year of the Imperial Calendar has officially begun!!"
After Ge Zewen finished shouting these words, thunderous applause immediately erupted in the venue.
"When the emperor came to the venue, he finished his opening remarks, drank another glass of wine, and then shouted, 'I declare that the year-end dinner in the year 289 of the Imperial Calendar has officially begun.'" This standard process of the year-end dinner was finally completed.
What Go Zewen just said was like a signal. After shouting loudly, one after another the attendants filed in from outside the venue.
They are the ones responsible for serving up the dishes for tonight's dinner.
Each of the rows of waiters held a plate of dishes in their hands.
These attendants are all specially responsible for managing the palace and serving the royal family. Their deftness in hands and feet is simply amazing.
Soon, the long tables in the venue, which were originally empty except for appetizers and juices and drinks, were now filled with a variety of sumptuous dishes.
When these waiters came in with the dishes, the venue was immediately filled with the fragrant aroma.
It was already 19:30, and Su Cheng always had dinner around 18:00.
In other words, it was already long past Su Cheng's usual dinner time, and his stomach had been growling since just now.
Now smelling the aroma of food filling the entire venue, Su Cheng felt the saliva in his mouth secreting crazily.
After swallowing the speechless amount of saliva in his mouth, Su Cheng turned his head and chatted to Alyssa aside:
"I'm so hungry, I can finally eat."
"Yes." Alyssa nodded with deep understanding, "I always thought that the person who set the start time of the year-end dinner at 19:30 must have something wrong with his head. Doesn't he know that there are many people's dinners?
Is it very early?”
"Yes, I also think that people who set the banquet time until 19:30 may have something wrong with their brains. Alyssa, are you hungry?"
"Hmph, I joined the army when I was 15, and it has been four years now. I have long been accustomed to the feeling of having irregular meals, so I am not very hungry now. Even if the food is served later, I can still bear it..."
Gugu~~
A voice that probably every human being is very familiar with sounded from Alyssa's belly.
After this voice sounded, Alyssa's face immediately turned red, and then she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her stomach.
Su Cheng quickly bit his lower lip to prevent himself from laughing.
Alyssa, whose cheeks were red, said at a loss:
"This, this is just an ordinary stomach growl! I, I admit that I am a little hungry now, but I am not really hungry! Even if the food is served a little later, I can handle it!"
Su Cheng, who finally suppressed his laughter, wanted to tease Alyssa.
But after thinking about it for a while, Su Cheng gave up the idea.
Because Alyssa is a person with high self-esteem and good face, if you tease her with something as embarrassing as a belly growling, she might "explode."
Su Cheng took two plates and two sets of knives and forks, then handed one of the plates and a pair of knives and forks to Alyssa, with a faint smile on his face and said:
"Alyssa, let's eat quickly."
"snort……"
Because her stomach made a very timely noise just now, Alyssa, who was still embarrassed until now, lowered her head slightly and took the tableware from Su Cheng.
This year-end dinner has a bit of a Western banquet feel. All the food is placed on a long table and you can pick it up yourself when eating. This not only saves space, but also allows guests to move around and talk freely.
Su Cheng still liked this kind of banquet because it was very free.
You can eat, drink, and talk at your own discretion, regardless of location. You can get what you want to eat, and talk to whomever you want to talk to.
Su Cheng and Alyssa carried the tableware and came to a long table nearby. They saw the long table full of dishes.
On this table, it seems that there are mainly meat dishes. At a glance, there are not a few green vegetables on this long table.
Although the background and architectural style of this other world are very similar to the Middle Ages in the West of Earth.
However, the productivity, dietary level, medical level, etc. of this other world are obviously much higher than those of the Middle Ages in the West of Earth, and even higher than those of the East of Earth at the same time.
The most ordinary farmer in this other world can eat meat 2 or 3 times a week on average.
This alone is enough to put the Earth in the Cold War Age beyond reach. For the Earth in the Cold War Age, whether in the East or the West, an ordinary farmer could eat meat 2 or 3 times a week. This is simply unimaginable.
.
Because the productivity and dietary level of this other world are unusually high, eating meat is not a rare thing. If you pick up a random farmer in the countryside, he will be able to eat meat several times a week.
Even ordinary farmers can eat meat several times a week, let alone rich people and nobles like Su Cheng and Alyssa.
Su Cheng didn't know what kind of food a noble like Alyssa had for a day, but Su Cheng was sure that a noble like Alyssa could eat meat for every meal. After all, Su Cheng was just an ordinary little person.
People with a little money can basically eat meat every meal, let alone nobles like Alyssa.
Therefore, meat is basically eaten every meal, so Su Cheng has long been accustomed to the taste and aroma of meat.
However, even Su Cheng, who had long been accustomed to the taste and aroma of meat, couldn't help but move his index fingers when he saw the plates of meat on this long table and smelled the aroma emanating from the plates.
.
Su Cheng, who felt like his saliva was about to drip, grabbed the public fork, forked a thin piece of meat, put it on his plate, then eagerly picked up his fork and stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth
.
The moment the piece of meat entered his mouth, Su Cheng's eyes burst with surprise and surprise.
The moment his tongue touched the piece of meat, Su Cheng tasted that it was pork. After swallowing the piece of pork, Su Cheng said with joy:
“This pork slice is delicious!”
Carol's father is a very good chef. Carol, who learned from her father, naturally has a very high level of cooking skills.
Ever since he got used to eating meals cooked by Kai Luoer, Su Cheng's taste has been spoiled. It has been a long time since Su Cheng experienced the feeling of "deliciousness" from meals cooked by others.
Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
I have long heard that the food at the year-end dinner is so delicious that you may never forget it in your life, but I didn’t expect it to be so delicious!
Su Cheng had just been screwed around like that by those aristocratic girls, so Su Cheng had no interest or expectation for this year-end dinner. But now that Su Cheng had eaten this piece of pork, he had rekindled his interest in the year-end dinner.
interest and expectations.
After hearing Su Cheng's praise for this plate of pork slices, Alyssa raised her eyebrows and said, "Let me try it too." She also forked a piece of this pork slice and put it in her mouth.
.
After putting the piece of meat into her mouth, Alyssa's expression was exactly the same as Su Cheng's just now, with a look of surprise and surprise on her face.
After swallowing the piece of meat, Alyssa licked her lips and said:
"Although I came to the year-end dinner last year and ate the food here once, even though I tasted the food here once last year and was mentally prepared, I was still surprised by the deliciousness of the food here."
After saying that, Alyssa picked up the public fork again, wanting to taste another piece of the pork slices.
However, just as Alyssa picked up the public fork, Su Cheng patted Alyssa lightly and said:
"Alyssa, there is a lot of food here. Let's just eat it one by one and try every plate of food. So don't eat this pork slice. Leave more belly to try other food."
After listening to Su Cheng's words, Alyssa blinked, thought for a moment, nodded, and put down the public fork in her hand.
"That's right." Alyssa said, "In this kind of banquet with a lot of delicious food, the most stupid thing to do is to eat too much of the same dish, leaving you with no appetite for other more delicious foods."
As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, Su Cheng raised the tableware in his hand, with a slight smile on his face, and then said:
Chapter completed!
