Chapter 1089 Test each other
Without any warning, the Duke did it with his hands!

El Raffarin made the baked prawns with cream cheese. He just picked one up with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth, then chewed it quickly.

The speed with which he acted made one wonder if he had never eaten meat before?
Before anyone could react, he picked up the wagyu beef on the other plate with his hands and threw it into his mouth without any politeness.

In the five seconds that everyone was stunned, Duke Dalton filled his entire mouth. The mouth full of food could not be "filled" anymore, so he stopped.

Chu Yunfeng was very doubtful that it was so full, could it still be chewed?

However, the Duke's behavior was indeed against aristocratic etiquette, which shocked Old Butler Delon. It would not matter if this scene happened when no one was around.

But now there are not only his own subordinates, but also two guests from China, which creates some problems.

If the Duke's ugly behavior is revealed, this will be an irreparable matter for the Duke's image. This is a kind of blasphemy to the established nobles.

However, at this time, the Duke seemed to have no consciousness at all. He was already immersed in the joy of enjoying meat delicacies. After taking the tableware handed over by the old butler Delong, he did not want to raise his head. one time.

Sims was completely stunned, and he quickly reacted. Then he immediately stood up from the chair and turned his back immediately.

The Duke pretended not to notice the indecent appearance, so he pretended to pick up the phone and make a call.
But for Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing, it didn't matter that the Duke was not related to them, so Chu Yunfeng looked at it with some relish.

Especially when they first confirmed that the Guangdong Chenpi was effective, the two looked at each other and noticed the joy in each other's eyes, so they knew that the first step was successful.

Old Butler Delong started to feel a little depressed. Sims was still very sensible and had already made the best choice. But as for Chu Yunfeng, why did it feel like he wanted to dig up some scandals about the Duke?
So after frowning deeply, old housekeeper Delong coughed and began to invite Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing: "You two, please go to the reception room and rest for a while!"

Seeing the gesture made by the old butler, Chu Yunfeng roughly knew what it meant. After Mu Qing finished translating, the corners of Chu Yunfeng's mouth turned up involuntarily.

Then take a rest first, the results will be available soon!
After Sims saw it, he quickly followed him. Old Butler Delon nodded appreciatively to him, which filled Sims's heart with joy, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

In the living room, Chu Yunfeng did not sit on the chair, but went directly to the window and admired the scenery of the manor.

It is very close to the restaurant and the location is very good. You can have a view of the entire manor, which makes you feel happy.

After old housekeeper Delong sent everyone over, he ordered tea to be served. He apologized and left in a hurry. He should have gone back to check on the Duke's condition.

At this time, the person in the living room who was still thinking about sipping tea was Mu Qing. Before old housekeeper Delong left, he gave Sims a meaningful look, and the meaning was obvious.

So Sims naturally had no thoughts about the tea on the table, and turned to Chu Yunfeng, who was admiring the scenery by the window.

The old housekeeper just made it clear, meaning that he wanted to find out for himself what this tangerine peel is and what its effects are.

The most important point, which I definitely don’t need to remind you again, is whether this thing is good to buy?
If it can be purchased, it will be a great thing for the Duke. For such a magical item that can take effect quickly, the more the merrier.

shopping?
Is this a problem for the duke who is not short of money?
Sims came to the window with a smile on his face, but he did not get to the point immediately because he had lived in Asia for such a long time and understood the art of Chinese speaking.

Be more subtle!

So Sims began to introduce: "This castle was inherited by the Duke's ancestors from generation to generation, and it has always maintained the style of thousands of years ago.

However, a large-scale renovation was carried out 50 years ago. Later, some parts were repaired one after another, and then it became what it is today.

After all, if the castle is too old, it will have a trace of stagnation, so adding some modern elements will make people feel its vitality and vitality. "

Chu Yunfeng nodded and agreed with Sims' statement. He had also seen the old castle before, and it often gave people a gloomy feeling.

And the old look was probably something that even modern people wouldn’t be able to appreciate, so I discussed the topic of the castle with Sims.

After chatting for a while, Sims got to the point: "Mr. Chu, is this tangerine peel an orange peel?"

When he had some time just now, Sims also did some homework and found that the tangerine peel did have some effects on unclogging the stomach, but the effect was not so strong, right?
With a hint of doubt, Sims stared at Chu Yunfeng intently, wanting to hear his answer.

Chu Yunfeng nodded seriously and said: "Yes, tangerine peel is made from orange peel. In our country, tangerine peel has many functions. It can be used for cooking and drinking tea!"

This answer was quite satisfactory, but it could not satisfy Sims's question, so he continued to ask: "Then where did you buy this tangerine peel? Are there any differences in grade and specifications?"

Facing this question, Chu Yunfeng smiled inwardly, then pondered for a while before replying: "A friend of mine bought this for me, and I don't know the details.

But something like this that has both food and medicine naturally needs to be divided into different grades! "

Still not asking the most important thing, Sims suddenly noticed keenly that Chu Yunfeng seemed to have reservations, which was definitely an unusual thing.

So he has something up his sleeve?

Want to use this information to ask the Duke for some conditions?
This makes sense why Chu Yunfeng didn't tell himself what dish he was going to cook at the beginning, but only used his trump card at the end.

In fact, this is not cooking at all, but just making a pot of tea.

But this pot of tea has solved the most fundamental problem. It doesn’t matter whether it’s cooking or not, but the key is whether it can be bought?
So no matter how Sims inquired about this tangerine peel later on, Chu Yunfeng was still practicing Tai Chi without leaking anything, making himself anxious.

But this is no wonder Chu Yunfeng, Sims has nothing to do about this kind of thing. Originally, Chu Yunfeng was just invited by himself to cook, but now his task has been completed.

According to the spirit of the contract, Chu Yunfeng no longer has any tasks at this time, so telling you is out of love, not telling you is your duty.

What's more, this situation cannot be justified. We can only wait for the Duke to finish the matter before discussing it!

I believe that this time should not be too long. After all, it is already noon, and the Duke will definitely figure this matter out. He will definitely have dinner here at noon today.

Sure enough, in less than 10 minutes, old housekeeper Delong appeared in the living room, and then performed a very ceremonial etiquette with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chu, Miss Mu Qing, thank you for making this dish. The Duke said this is the most delicious dish he has ever tasted, so to express his gratitude, please move to the restaurant to dine.

Your Excellency the Duke will personally thank you both, please follow me! "

After finishing speaking, the old butler stood gracefully at the door and made an invitation gesture with her hands. Mu Qing didn't need to translate too much, she just nodded to Chu Yunfeng.

Let's go, now we can finally meet the real owner, so the next step is to test and see if there are any loopholes in our plan. Whether we can get the wool or not depends on the confrontation in a while.

Old Butler Delong did not go at the front, but asked a waiter to lead Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing towards the restaurant, while he stayed at the back and walked with Sims.

Chu Yunfeng turned his head and took a look, and immediately became familiar with the chat. Sims was reporting at the moment, but he and the old housekeeper seemed to be frowning, and he secretly laughed in his heart.

If I could let you know so easily, wouldn't it be fun?

After arriving at the restaurant, I found that the Duke's face had changed. The trace of decadence he had before had completely disappeared, replaced by a rosy face.

After seeing Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing, he showed great enthusiasm and invited them to sit beside him.

The old butler and Sims arrived late. Sims had a look of helplessness on his face, while the old butler walked up to the Duke and whispered something in his ear.

Chu Yunfeng acted very calmly. When he saw that after the old butler finished his report, the Duke's face did not show the slightest fluctuation, Chu Yunfeng knew that this time things were a bit tricky.

I had observed it very carefully just now, not even a single subtle expression was missed. There was indeed no look of surprise on the Duke's face.

This already shows that he must have known some of his plans in advance, and he must have learned something through his identity.

Needless to say, Orlando's incident must have aroused his vigilance. Maybe he knew about Orlando coming to London, and he couldn't hide his meeting with him.

As soon as these inferences came out, Chu Yunfeng knew that there were many things that needed to be changed in the plan this time, and he had to be prepared for failure in advance.

Because at this moment, it seems that the Duke is not very talkative. It should be very difficult to pluck the feathers of this iron rooster.

Just as Chu Yunfeng was thinking quickly, the Duke spoke, but his expression did not change, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry: "Thank you very much for Mr. Chu and Miss Mu Qing's help.

In order to express my gratitude, I specially prepared a small gift for Miss Mu Qing, please accept it!
If you two are not busy returning to China, you can enjoy the scenery in London and Europe. I will send someone to arrange it for you. This is to express my sincere gratitude! "

gratitude?

These words seemed to be nothing. Duke Dalton really wanted to express his gratitude, but Chu Yunfeng had already sensed the hidden meaning in his words.

gift!

This is very important. There is only one gift, and it was only given to Mu Qing, but Chu Yunfeng himself did not have one!

The meaning contained in this is very obvious. Duke Dalton has clearly expressed his attitude. Otherwise, according to normal etiquette, this gift should be given in duplicate.

But without losing etiquette, Duke Dalton also arranged a travel tour. This was equivalent to a gift to Chu Yunfeng, but this gift was for two people.

It's not just Chu Yunfeng, so this obviously means something.

Mu Qing also understood the meaning of the words, and then saw old housekeeper Delong placing a small gift box in front of her, but Mu Qing did not open it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Duke, for your kindness, but no reward will be given for nothing. We just fulfilled the agreement with Mr. Sims, so we will be embarrassed to accept your generous gift."

Mu Qing's refusal was very tactful, but the reason was also very sufficient. After all, according to the spirit of the contract, this gift was between acceptable and unacceptable.

Chu Yunfeng also secretly praised Mu Qing in his heart, and directly threw it back without leaving any trace. Who was this gift given to?

So as soon as Mu Qing finished speaking, you could immediately see the Duke showing a look of surprise and a little bit of embarrassment.

Didn't expect?

Surprised?
This is normal. If you really knew about your true plan, I'm afraid you would be in the mood to chase people away right now, and you might not be able to sleep all night long.

Old Butler Delong was a little embarrassed when he saw the scene, so he immediately said: "The restaurant is already preparing. Please try the specialties of our manor. Although it is not as good as Master Chu's cooking skills, the ingredients are really good. .”

At this time, it was Chu Yunfeng's turn. He realized that the teapot was missing when he entered the restaurant.

This must have been taken to someone for appraisal. Although he didn't say it himself, with Guang Chenpi's famous name, I believe the other party would be able to find out.

And I believe that no one who saw it will forget the magical scene that occurred while making tea.

This ordinary tangerine peel will naturally not achieve that effect, and ordinary tangerine peel will not turn into such a black color, and it can become so gorgeous when it finally transforms.

Therefore, Chu Yunfeng was already sure that Duke Dalton had a way to know what the tea was made of, so he had no intention of asking him when they met.

And he directly expressed the message he wanted to convey, without mentioning a word about Chen Pi, which caused Chu Yunfeng's previously planned Plan A to declare bankruptcy.

After all, this plan A is relatively rough. I want to use the news of Guangchenpi to see if I can get the Xuande furnace. This plan seems naive, but it is not without chance.

The key is to test Dalton's attitude and his desire for this tangerine peel.

But at this time, it seems that the other party is also an old fox, and it is not that easy to fool him, so plan B is started.

"Thank you for your kindness, but Mu Qing and I have other things to deal with. Since there is nothing else going on here, let's leave first!"

After Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, it was obvious that the surprised look on Duke Dalton's face was a little more serious, and now he was slightly solemn.

Old Butler Delong was even more surprised, but Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing had already stood up, nodded to them and were about to leave.

Dalton was a little unsure about Chu Yunfeng's mentality at this time, whether he was retreating in order to advance, or whether he had other plans, but when he saw that the two of them were really preparing to leave, he believed it.

Then he immediately gave a clue to the old housekeeper Delong, and also pointed Sims in the direction Chu Yunfeng and the others were leaving, and the two of them immediately chased after him with understanding.
