Chapter 415: Drinking Coffee on a Snowy Day
Chapter 415: Drinking Coffee on a Snowy Day
Today's dinner is very sumptuous. The first course has six dishes, the second course has eight dishes, and the customary dessert is replaced with fresh fruits, which makes it more upscale.
Snow began to fall outside the window again. The fires in the two fireplaces in the front and back of the restaurant were burning brightly, and the warmth was deafening.
On a snowy night, staying in a warm and comfortable restaurant, watching the snow and enjoying delicious food is naturally the most comfortable thing to do.
And today's main course is grilled salmon with Parmesan, crispy fried cod, lemon roast beef, and duck tongue with plum sauce.
These are not ordinary ingredients, they are all giant dishes fed by the true God. Not to mention salmon slices, cod pieces, and beef pieces, because the true God only gave one piece. Although it is also big, people still cannot imagine its full appearance from this one piece.
But the duck tongue is different. This is not an ordinary duck tongue, it is definitely the tongue of a divine duck, because it is as long as an adult! You can imagine how huge and terrifying the whole duck must be, at least the size of a small house!
It’s terrifying to think about such a divine duck, but it is actually just a meal on the plate of the true God, and it can even be given to these mortals to enjoy.
Although we have seen huge butter, huge lettuce, and huge potatoes before, there is still a slight difference in the shock that vegetarian and meat dishes bring to people.
The power of the true god is beyond imagination. Everyone who saw this duck tongue was shocked. Everyone felt the same as when they saw the crab legs before. Deep in their hearts, they were more in awe of the omnipresent guardian god.
Compared with this duck tongue, shrimps as big as their feet are nothing.
Before making this duck tongue with plum sauce, the cook Lily never forgets to pray!
Because there were enough duck tongues and they were big enough, Owen had ordered that the servants could have extra food. So the people who enjoyed the good food today were not only the owners in the restaurant. Although the servants were not allowed to have plum sauce, just a big pot of clear stew was enough to satisfy them.
Go around and ask around to find out which servants are as lucky as the servants at Fucui Villa who can eat the same food as their masters!
When everyone prayed to the true God every day, they never forgot to pray for their master Owen. Because this patron saint was the patron saint of the Owen family. Before the arrival of Mr. Isaac Owen, the new heir of Fucui Villa, there had never been any miracles here.
Even old Mrs. Owen sometimes couldn't help wondering in her heart whether it was because she and her husband had gone too far, were too cold-hearted, and kept their relatives and friends at a distance that they were not favored by the family patron saint.
Otherwise, why did old Mr. Irving never receive the blessing of the true God until his death, and why did she, as the widow of old Mr. Irving, and her daughter, as the closest cousin to Isaac Irving, never receive the favor of the true God?
Even Owen’s distant cousin Xia Qingdai received special care from the true God!
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. If she could turn back time, she would definitely advise her husband to take better care of her brother's family.
Now all she could do was to pray for Owen whenever she had time and try to share some of the daily chores in the castle with him.
Today's snack is strawberry pancakes, Xia Qingdai is not very interested in it, she likes to eat salty pancakes. But Jane Austen and others like this kind of snacks, and it can be seen that they all eat with gusto.
Connie couldn't help but praise: "Lily's baking skills are getting better and better. This pancake is sweet but not greasy, and the sugar is just right."
Lily, who was waiting on the side, replied proudly: "The sugar in our castle is not the low-quality sugar sold in the market. It is all white sugar as white as snow given by the true God! However, there is no sugar in this strawberry pancake. It is honey, which is much more expensive than sugar!" "No wonder it is so delicious." Connie couldn't help but raised her hand and took another one to eat. "Dear Xia, don't you want to eat it? I see you only tore off a small piece."
"Well, I don't really like sweet pancakes." Xia Qingdai put the remaining strawberry pancakes on her plate.
Owen then opened his mouth and instructed Lily: "My cousin doesn't like it, so don't make sweet cakes in the future."
"Yes, sir."
Connie and Caroline looked at each other when they heard this, but no one said anything. They just focused on eating their food.
They are all Owen's cousins and they all like to eat, but Owen obviously only cares about Xia Qingdai's thoughts.
Xia Qingdai heard Owen say this, although she was also very happy that little Owen always put himself first in everything, but she still said: "It's okay, just cook it, everyone likes to eat it, don't worry too much about me."
After dinner, the men stayed in the restaurant to drink and chat, while the women went to the salon to drink coffee.
Xia Qingdai has looked up the method of making caramel macchiato on the Internet these two days, and today she plans to try it herself.
In order to save steps, she bought caramel sauce directly from the modern store. The milk was pure natural, additive-free fresh milk from the farm, the coffee powder was freshly ground from high-quality coffee beans produced in Brazil in the 18th century, and the milk foam was made with a silver hand-made frother.
Maybe Xia Qingdai really has some talent in food and drink, so she quickly got the hang of making caramel macchiato. The latte art didn't look very good on the first cup, but by the third cup it looked almost like what you'd see in a modern coffee shop.
With just this skill of making coffee, Xia Qingdai could hold her head high in the ladies' social circle of the 18th century.
"Wow, Xia, you're really amazing!" Jane was the person who was most generous in praising Xia Qingdai.
"It's just so-so, third in the world." Xia Qingdai made a cup for each of the ladies present.
"You are too modest!" Caroline and others could not understand Xia Qingdai's Chinese-English slang. Only Jane Austen's eyes were shining with wisdom, as if she understood Xia Qingdai's Versailles meaning.
Mrs. Owen was the only lady present who didn't drink coffee, because she was afraid that drinking coffee would keep her awake at night. When you get older, you have trouble sleeping, so you have to be restrained in your diet.
The ladies held their coffee cups and chatted in low voices while sipping their coffee slowly. Old Mrs. Owen sat on the sofa next to them and knitted a carpet quietly, which was also one of the pastimes of housewives in the 18th century.
"You guys drink here, I'll give the men a cup too." Xia Qingdai still had a lot of milk foam, it would be a waste if she didn't eat it. Now she was in high spirits, so of course she had to give it to little Owen to try.
Caramel Macchiato is a coffee drink invented by Starbucks in the 20s. It was very popular in the sweet-loving Britain in the 18th century.
