Alyssa paused as she passed by Tang Yuan, with a fleeting look of sadness on her face. This child looked so much like her dead lover. She gave birth to several children, but only her third son completely inherited the oriental blood.
He seems to be carved from the same mold as Tang Bei.
She didn't say it, but she actually preferred that child in her heart. If he hadn't been too rebellious, she would have even wanted to hand over the Provo family to him.
Things went against expectations. The third son betrayed the family for a woman and suffered an accident. Although she was sad, she controlled a big family after all and could not be delayed by the love between her children. But her grandchildren seemed to have grown up with her in an instant.
A stranger.
Alyssa showed a kind smile and stretched out her hand to Tang Yuan. The scarlet nail polish and huge emerald ring on her fingers made Tang Yuan unhappy. He turned his head and pretended not to see it.
Alyssa was not angry, she lowered her elbows gracefully, and walked forward slowly. Since her lover passed away, she was the only one left on this thorny road. No matter how difficult it is, she has overcome it, but she is just a junior.
It's a little awkward and not worth mentioning.
"Thank you all for coming to the dinner." Alyssa stood in front of the main seat and looked at everyone with a smile. Although she is old, it is not difficult to see from her face that she was also a popular beauty when she was young. "To
Let me introduce you, this is my grandson, Evan."
When Alyssa finished speaking, everyone looked at Tang Yuan. The servant reminded him quietly from behind, and Tang Yuan reluctantly said: "I'm sorry, please call me by my Chinese name: Tang Yuan." Obviously, it wasn't.
Give Alyssa face.
"The name is just a code name. You can't change the fact that you have the blood of the Provo family." Alyssa said to him.
Tang Yuan smiled faintly and answered her in Chinese: "If possible, I would rather not have this damn bloodline." Alyssa has lived with Tang Bei for decades, so naturally she can understand Chinese.
Sure enough, these words irritated her, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
Tsk——
This old lady is so old, why is she still so stubborn? Tang Yuan looked at her application and felt secretly happy. He liked to poke the pain points with needles, and the more he poked, the more painful it became.
This emotion did not affect Alyssa for too long. She looked at Tang Yuan deeply, raised the corners of her mouth, showed a mysterious smile, and greeted everyone to eat first.
The ritual of French food is somewhat complicated, generally divided into appetizers, main dishes, cheese and desserts. As a noble family, the Provost family even used soup as an appetizer. The first thing served was the black truffle puff pastry soup, soup bowl
It was covered with thick brown pastry, and after peeling away, there was a strong aroma of black truffle. Tang Yuan picked up the spoon and scooped out the fragrant foie gras. He raised his eyebrows and glanced out of the corner of his eye.
The people around me skillfully put the puff pastry into the thick soup, dipped it in the soup, mixed it with the foie gras and ate it together.
The appetizer is foie gras jelly, served with crispy bread, lightly scraped with a knife to coat it, and then sprinkled with chopped parsley, giving it a unique flavor.
The main dish is foie gras steak, which is shaped like a hamburger. The top layer is foie gras slices, with toast full of foie gras fat underneath. The steak and fried potato pancakes are placed on top. The foie gras melts in your mouth and is super plump.
.The steak is tender, juicy and wonderful.
Is this a foie gras feast? If nothing else, the next dish will definitely be made with foie gras.
Sure enough, the servants came up with baked snails. There was no difference between the three small snails on the plate, but Tang Yuan just got closer and took a smell and knew that they were garlic, black truffle and foie gras.
The servants used pliers to hold the snails, then used a double-tine fork to pick out the meat, poured the sauce on it and handed it to everyone. Tang Yuan casually thanked the maid for serving, and the servant kept bowing in fear.
, causing his cousin Marcos, who was sitting opposite, to laugh: "Why, my dear cousin, how long have you been in China? Are you so polite?"
"Of course, we Chinese people always like to do it ourselves. After all, those who enjoy the service of others are either in a vegetative state or hemiplegia." Tang Yuan cut off a piece of snail meat and put it into his mouth, showing his bright white teeth towards him.
"Crunch--" The harsh sound of the fork sliding across the plate came. Marcos stood up angrily, pointing the knife in his hand at Tang Yuan: "What did you say?"
"Marcos, sit down." Alyssa's commanding voice sounded, looking at Marcos with a warning in her eyes, "Don't do anything rude."
Marcos was shocked and sat down immediately, lowering his head and not daring to say another word. On the other hand, Tang Yuan felt that the texture of the snail was tough but crispy, and it blended perfectly with the foie gras, and he ate it with gusto. He saw Alyssa's vote.
He raised his eyes lightly and raised the fork with the meat in his hand.
At this moment, time seemed to have returned to the past, and Tang Bei did the same, looking at her with vigor. Alyssa looked at Tang Yuan not far away, and her sight gradually overlapped with Tang Bei's figure, and she sighed faintly.
, holding the knife and fork in his hand tightly.
For dessert, I made a mousse with foie gras. The bottom is spread with a knuckle-thick foie gras pate, and covered with a layer of grilled onions and cranberries. Sweet and salty are intertwined. The foie gras is dense and oily, and the cranberries are slightly sour.
The taste is really unique.
Tang Yuan unconsciously looked at it a few more times, tasted a few more mouthfuls, and slowly relaxed his frown. It was not a particularly complicated dish. You can cook it for the little girl to try after returning home. She has always disliked it.
The taste of foie gras is too strong, but this foie gras mousse gave him inspiration that heavy-flavored things can be made very light.
The time after the meal belongs to the family. When Alisa introduced Tang Yuan, the relatives understood what she meant. This child will definitely hold an important position in the Provo family in the future. Before leaving,
His attitude towards him was completely different, and he adopted the most formal etiquette.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Tang Yuan could no longer hold his breath and asked the old man who was sitting safely on the main seat of the sofa angrily.
Alyssa winked at the servant, and everyone retreated. Only the closest people were left in the huge room. Anthony brought the teacup to his mother, and Alyssa pushed it, asking him to put it down first.
"Evan..." Tang Yuan interrupted him as soon as he started speaking.
"Call me Tang Yuan."
"Okay, Tang Yuan." Alyssa changed her words helplessly, her eyes gradually becoming blurred, "How many years have you not seen me? Five years? Ten years? It has been so long that I can hardly remember it. Your grandfather
He was thinking about you when he passed away, and I didn't see you after waiting for a long time. I was very sorry when he left..." She rambled on, trying to restore a trace of family affection in her memory.
Tang Yuan sneered: "No need to play the emotional card, tell me what is your purpose of putting me under house arrest!"
Alyssa: "Tang Yuan, I don't like your temper. As the leader of a family, you must perfectly control your emotions. In Chinese dialect, it is called 'not surprised by favor or disgrace'."
Anthony was horrified: "Mother...what do you mean by this?"
Even Marcos screamed: "Grandma!"
Alyssa smiled slightly, faced the two of them, and said calmly: "You are right, Provo's successor is Tang Yuan."
"What are you talking about?" Tang Yuan frowned, "I said more than ten years ago that I would never have anything to do with Provo again."
"My child, my decision cannot be tolerated by you. I have already made a will. Everything in Provo after my death will be yours, including the truths you want to know." Alyssa's tone was full of intolerance.
The determination to refuse.
Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "What if I have to refuse?"
Alyssa smiled softly and picked up the tea cup: "How is Elena in China? She hasn't visited me as a grandmother for a long time. The restaurant you opened in China is a bit childish. It is said that you have a little girl you like.
?Do you want grandma to help you take a look?"
"You are despicable!" Tang Yuan roared, his whole body was like a firecracker being lit, his fists clenched tightly in front of him. This old woman actually threatened him with Tang Jingling and Yu Jian!
"I have allowed you to spend such a long time of freedom, and it is time to come back. You are a child of the Provo family, and Provo also needs you."
The atmosphere was as quiet as death.
After a long time, Tang Yuan asked in a hoarse voice: "Why?" Why did it have to be him? Anthony and Max also wanted to know this question, and they both turned their attention to Alyssa.
Tang Yuan stared closely at the woman in front of him, trying to find the answer on her face, but she had been as elegant as ever for decades. As she said, whether she was angry or happy, her expression was very calm.
She blew on the hot air of the tea, took a slow sip, and gently uttered two words: "Talent."
