after tomorrow is the end

Chapter 220 A Bountiful Banquet

Say hello. Haolan lifted the lid of the second dish, which was a soup.The moment the lid was lifted, the delicious soup smelled immediately.

"It's delicious, what's the name of this dish?" Lucas really opened his eyes today. A soft-shelled turtle seems to be swimming in this bowl of soup. The soup is white and yellow, and the smell is delicious and fragrant.

"This is stewed soft-shelled turtle soup. The so-called carp eats meat, but bastards drink soup." Haolan began to introduce this dish: "The soft-shelled turtle must be alive. Turn it over, with its back facing the ground and belly facing the sky. When it wants to turn over, turn it over When the neck is stretched to the longest, quickly chop the neck with a sharp knife, and then raise the blood control"

"Stop, stop." Lucas quickly stopped Haolan's explanation, he didn't want to know the process.

"Hahaha Haolan, let's go down and prepare dinner first." Li Jie waved his hand, indicating that Haolan and his wife can go out first.

"Yes, Mayor Li." In front of outsiders, Hao Lan used the honorific title for Li Jie.

"Come on, Captain Lucas, cheers." Li Jie raised his wine glass and shook it lightly. The half-full red wine in it slipped over the edge of the glass without leaving a trace.

"Cheers." Lucas also toasted. Now that there is no winery, these wines are luxury goods. Some old-fashioned boutiques are priceless.

Take a sip, first roll the wine in your mouth with the tip of your tongue, the mellow aroma of the wine immediately penetrates into your mind, aftertaste for 5-10 seconds before swallowing.
"Ha" Lucas couldn't help but say, with endless aftertaste.

"Please!" Li Jie smiled slightly. This meal is definitely high-end. Looking at the entire alliance, it is estimated that few companies can do it.

"Thank you, Mayor Li, for your hospitality." Lucas couldn't wait a long time ago, and first scooped up the white and tender soup with a small spoon.

With a squeak, it was sucked into the mouth, and it immediately felt like swimming in the sea, just one word, "fresh"!
Then pick a piece of fat soft-shelled turtle skirt and put it in the mouth. The meat is plump and tender, and the fresh fragrance lingers between the lips and teeth.

"Uh, fragrant. Beautiful." Lucas was already silent, unable to extricate himself.

The directors who were standing with their hands behind their backs saw it and looked at each other in surprise. They never expected that the usually strict director-general would lose his composure like this.

While Lucas was still savoring the crunch, the door of the restaurant opened again, and Haolan pushed the dining car in. The thing on the plate was not koi sashimi, but what else!
Normally, this third course is a side dish, and the next one is the main course of this banquet.However, since koi sashimi is a cold dish, it is not easy to eat hot and then cold, so it will appear earlier.

"Hahaha, it looks very fresh." Lucas made a special trip to eat this koi sashimi.

"Koi sashimi, sir, use it slowly." Haolan put a plate of orange-red sashimi with even thickness in front of Lucas.

There is no need to introduce any more, the sashimi is all about freshness, and the sashimi with a little moisture in front of it is obviously just out of the body.

"Hiss." Lucas hadn't started to eat yet, and the hala came out first.

With a fork, you can feel the firm and elastic meat from the tiny resistance.

Put it in your mouth, even if you don't dip it in, the feeling of melting in your mouth is still a bit cold.

Chew again, the gravy is fragrant but not greasy, smooth but not oily.

Gulu Liu Mang swallowed dryly, and just looking at Lucas's appearance seduced his gluttons.

Li Jie was also eating koi sashimi, thinking of the koi in his camp.

"It's still one step away." Although Li Jie has identified who the traitor is, he still needs to confirm the last step in order to be cautious.

"Mayor Li, this is the best food I have ever eaten in my life." Lucas was full of praise. This trip was not in vain, which is rare in the world.

The fourth dish was also served. It was the grilled puffer fish that had been a hit. It was steaming hot and fragrant.

"Oh? This is the... pufferfish case?" Lucas had naturally heard of it, and it was a big deal.

"Haha... Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Li Jie didn't go into detail about the situation, as he and Justin had already turned the page on this matter.

"Forget it, I don't care about the affairs between you, but...you can't harm the interests of the chamber of commerce." Lucas is standing on the side of the chamber of commerce, hoping that the camps will compete with each other so that they can use their balancing act to profit from it.

"Don't worry, I still say that, for the alliance!" Li Jie raised his glass again.

"For the alliance!" Lucas also drank together.

"Come on, Captain Lucas, try this puffer fish." Li Jie put down his glass and asked Lucas to taste the puffer fish.

"Hmm..." Lucas looked at the grilled puffer fish, not knowing what to think.

"What? Captain Lucas? You don't really think that the poison sac hasn't been cleaned up?" Li Jie smiled.

"How come..." Lucas said, but didn't move his chopsticks.

Tata... the officer next to him named 23 stepped forward, took a piece of fish with another pair of chopsticks and ate it.

Li Jie was silent on the other side, Lucas was really cautious.

After waiting for a while, it was all right, 23 withdrew.

"Hmm..." Lucas picked up the chopsticks, tried a few times and still didn't put them down. He was very sorry for his life.

"Captain Lucas." Li Jie called out.

"Huh?" Lucas looked up at Li Jie, only to see that he also ate it with his chopsticks.

"How about... let's switch." Li Jie tested the poison himself.

"No no...Mayor Li misunderstood. I was wondering where to eat first. This puffer fish is really fat." Lucas also lowered his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fish and tore it, and the heat flowed along the cracked fish. emerge.

Crack a bite, this roast is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and oily...

Moreover, the puffer fish has only one main thorn (spine), so eat it with confidence, and it will not get stuck in your throat.

Lucas ate fish for a while, drank fish soup for a while, and couldn't find the delicious tongue.

Li Jie smiled and looked at Haolan, this meal is really a long face.

Haolan bowed his head slightly, he was also very proud.

Creaking... The hall door opened again, and this time it was Maria who pushed the dining cart in. There were vegetable salad and milk pudding on it. This was the fifth course of vegetables and the sixth course of dessert.

The baked milk pudding is white and tender. When flicked with a spoon, it is still quivering, QQ.When you dig it with a spoon, it is thick and slippery, like snow.

In the mouth, it is full of milk flavor, and Li Jie likes this mouthful.

Lucas likes this vegetable salad, which is colorful and spelled out in a shape, which is pleasing to the eye and can't bear to chopsticks.

After eating and drinking enough, the two of them withdrew from their seats and sat down to drink tea together.

Now that there are no plantations for this tea, it is a legacy luxury that is hard to buy.

"Okay, okay, not bad." Lucas nodded in satisfaction. Camp 666 is the only one who can eat so tastefully and richly in the last days.
