Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 335 Dinner ——————————————————

The clear pine oil stone lamp is bright and smokeless, but exudes a fragrance.The precious potted plants brought out of the greenhouse are competing to bloom and compete for beauty, decorating the garden with the first buds in early spring and full of vitality.There are even actors with a wide range of voices. When they sang wonderfully, they spit out a series of dolphin sounds, which shot into the sky.

The Grand Duke held a banquet tonight, of course for celebration, but also to show off his family heritage - most of the top-notch dinners with such a grand scale need to be prepared in advance.And like the Grand Duke's family, the century-old Zhongming Dingshi family, although there is no shortage of delicacies from all over the world for every drink and meal on weekdays, but for a banquet like this tonight, what is needed is fresh food: this is rare.In addition, there are many other matters to be arranged, such as reception, attendants, lamps and candles, decorations, tableware, dishes, drinks, dancing and singing, etc., requiring a large number of well-trained servants to perform their duties.

In this way, a good banquet can be held in half a day, which is not something that ordinary families can do.

So the Grand Duke used this gorgeous way to tactfully intimidate his opponents, so as to buy time to digest the wealth he just got-fortunately, this wealth, in addition to diamond jewelry, also has weapons.Weapons that can be refitted and put into use directly.

Of course, the weapons were not Su Mo's own weapons, but temporarily made by the shipboard machine after the reconnaissance system analyzed the local situation.Mostly revolvers, but also some stainless-steel daggers and a few cannons, engraved with the Grand Duke's coat of arms.

Speaking of which, the mineral materials for these weapons all come from the Grand Duke; the structure of the weapons is also original in the local area, and there is no innovation, only a little improvement, which is automatically corrected and improved by the program.But the Grand Duke still regards them as treasures because their quality is so good.

This is determined by the material and precision.In terms of materials, due to the limited level of smelting, stainless steel is more expensive than silver in Weiai.As for the accuracy, with the same design and material, the rough ones can only be used for three to five months, while the precise ones can be used for a hundred years.

Because of this, when Su Mo arrived, the Grand Duke immediately left a group of guests and greeted Su Mo willingly—it would be great if he could use Su Mo to intimidate the nobles present.

……

The reverence that the young Grand Duke had for Su Mo and his party before was only from reason, and he still had a bit of disbelief in his heart; but now, he has an intuitive understanding of it.

However, since a transaction has been successfully completed, and Su Mo did not renege on the debt, the Grand Duke is no longer as nervous as he was in the morning: his every move is much more calm, and he is quite calm.Surrounded by several well-dressed men and women who bowed deeply behind him, it actually seemed a bit chic—a few of these people might have glanced at Su Mo and others, but they didn't dare to come forward to ask the Grand Duke for an introduction.

When Su Mo saw the Grand Duke, he waved his hand directly: "You are busy with your work, we just came to watch the fun."

"There's nothing to be busy about." The Grand Duke's posture was humble but not humble.Then the Grand Duke personally invited him.Seeing that Su Mo's eyes were on the actor who was singing loudly in the middle of a group of people, he said this like a prince.

The translator never slacked off, so the word "actors" was immediately explained in detail: these actors were not talented, they were castrated before the voice-changing period at the age of twelve or thirteen, so they kept their childish voices; Training, the best of them become the playthings sought after by the powerful.

In this regard, Su Mo and others didn't care: they were well-informed, and it was not the first time they knew about this kind of thing, so they didn't care.Dongming's concentration is good, as long as it has no direct relationship with him and Jiang Ling, he can take it easy.Jiang Ling couldn't help but frown slightly—isn't that a eunuch... an eunuch who makes a living in the entertainment industry!

Of course, they are not guilty, they are still victims.The perpetrators were the Grand Duke and the dignitaries present, perhaps including himself...

Because there are no buyers, there are no sellers.

So Jiang Ling frowned even tighter.

The Grand Duke took a good look at his words and quickly changed the subject: "The ones in front are Jinxianghua. It's not a rare variety, but it looks lively." At the same time, he gave the housekeeper who was accompanying him a wink.The housekeeper took the order and left, but after a while, the actors over there hurriedly ended their singing, and the following programs came up ahead of schedule.

And here, Jiang Ling and the others just happened to approach the flowers and trees clustered around the fountain.

These flowers and trees are beautiful, but they are not full of vitality: their roots are not deep, their stems are not tough, their stems are not strong, their leaves are too fat, and their flowers are too colorful—more than gorgeous, but not flexible enough.

And they are not happy.Because it was put out to blow cold wind at night.Well, the night in early spring is still quite chilly.

So, the group looked around for half a circle, and Jiang Ling couldn't help but sighed.

Su Mo was puzzled: "What's the matter, don't you like growing things?"

Jiang Ling muttered softly: "I wouldn't abuse them like this."

Dagong's physical skills are limited, so he didn't hear it.Su Mo, the others and Dongming both heard clearly.Dongming couldn't help smiling because Jiang Ling was childish.Su Mo smiled knowingly, but his words of comfort to Jiang Ling were more profound: "There is no way. Here, greenhouses are a new luxury item, and they are in fashion. They have explored the mainland and are marching towards the ocean, so they are very ambitious. , using out-of-season plants as a show off, thinking that this is conquering the world, hey... don't mention these, let's go to the dance? That seems to be interesting."

*********
The dancing that Su Mo mentioned was precisely the show that the actor was rejected in advance.There are male and female dancers, all in their twenties, with good looks and more beautiful body curves-after all, they are professional dancers and have been training all year round.

At this time, they danced a kind of hunting dance or sacrificial dance. They revolved around the bonfire in the center. Their movements had a clear sense of rhythm, mainly slapping and beating.

These people are dressed in white with black belts, short at the top and long at the bottom: short jackets with long skirts or trousers.Their smooth and firm texture is covered with oil, and they are either picturesque or handsome in the firelight.And when the sesame oil was boiled with aphrodisiac herbs, it was swept by the hot air waves of the bonfire, and then rushed towards the face, this effect...

- But it's different!

After all, Jiang Ling has never been involved in any of the three religions, and his background is ordinary, so he doesn't understand the mystery of it.Coupled with the "White Mist" relationship, Jiang Ling is not only not afraid of alcohol, but also these herbal methods, so Jiang Ling didn't notice it, but just muttered, "This fragrance is too strong."Because the dance is very good, to be precise, it has local characteristics, Jiang Ling doesn't care about this little flaw.

Dongming was different, he knew the twists and turns, and he was afraid from the beginning; but seeing Jiang Ling was happy, and relying on his physical skills, he had already passed the eight or nine barriers, and he was resistant to ordinary poisons. Live, never say anything.As it turned out, Jiang Ling was in great spirits. Dongming accompanied Jiang Ling to watch one dance after another. He smelled a lot, and his blood was faintly surging. He didn't dare to stay any longer. He looked around and gently pulled Jiang Ling. Ling: "Your seniors have 'changed shifts'?"

Jiang Ling looked in the direction indicated by Dongming, just in time to see Su Mo and Su Mi meeting each other.The former said something in a low voice, and the latter nodded and replied with a short sentence, and there was a little smile.Then the two clinked glasses, looked around the dinner for a while, chatted casually, and went to their own business.

Jiang Ling smiled: "Which shift is changing? Their entourage is better than the other. What can happen. Su Mo has to catch up on sleep. Su Mi is about ten o'clock in the morning at this time, and he just came down to play." Dongming's breathing was not as long and steady as usual, so he couldn't help but look up at Dongming: "What's the matter?" As he spoke, he suddenly understood, and couldn't help but glance at the group of dancers by the campfire, and then turned to Dongming again.

Dongming could see it clearly, and immediately got stuck in his throat: If I knew it was like this, it would be better not to watch this excitement.Dongming was not happy to explain to Jiang Ling, and evened the corners of his mouth with a serious face.

Jiang Ling thought that Dongming was becoming angry from embarrassment, so she couldn't help laughing secretly: Isn't the folk style very open?It turns out that being shy is not to be offended.So Jiang Ling didn't say anything, pulled Dongming aside, found a clean and well-ventilated seat, and settled down for Dongming, so as not to embarrass Dongming; then beckoned to the waiter, and chose a glass of cool and refreshing light orange drink from the tray , and handed it to Dongming: "I've drank this, and it tastes okay, try it."

Dongming took a few sips with a sullen face, scaring away the waiter who was standing next to him who was about to be courteous; then Dongming took a long sip slowly, and suddenly frowned.

The face-changing speed was so fast, Jiang Ling just sat down next to Dongming, and couldn't help laughing for a moment: "Is it better?"

Dongming glanced at Jiang Ling, took another sip, satisfied, and said to the cup: "Yes." He looked serious.

He is shy.Jiang Ling was secretly overjoyed, and secretly glanced at Dongming's ear, holding back a smile and saying nothing.Basically, Dongming is very shy. After a while, the roots of his ears will turn red, or even red; if it is only a little bit, then Dongming will become very serious, such as now.

However, during Jiang Ling's fun, a middle-aged, meticulous middle-aged man with hair parted in the middle took the opportunity to strike up a conversation.Jiang Ling noticed it keenly, and was immediately disappointed: After tonight, if there were no accidents, they would not meet again, so why socialize?Fortunately, when Su Mi came over, the man didn't dare to be rash after all, he saluted from a distance and backed away.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling was overjoyed, and immediately got up: "Brother, are you here too?"

"Well, it's rare." Su Mi pointed to the seat: "Sit and sit, what are you doing when you stand up?" As he said that, he also picked up a seat and sat down, and looked at the young couple dignifiedly, with great interest— —Hmm, seems to have missed something?
Dongming became more serious.Jiang Ling pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, sat down as she said, raised her hand to signal the waiter to come over, and brought herself a drink.Su Mi was wondering there, the Grand Duke led two teenagers over: one was [-] or [-] years old, and the other was [-] or [-] years old, both of them were quite nervous; then the Grand Duke stopped three or four meters away, saluted and asked questions .

"Sit down." This time Su Mi was not so much an invitation as an order, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ling was surprised to find that the same word "sit" was also spoken by Su Mi, but there was such a big difference!But the Grand Duke didn't dare to refuse, and leaned forward to take his seat, while the two young men stood behind the Grand Duke.

"My two sons are very naughty, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun. However, if you want to spend a few days in the local area to relax and play, if you don't mind, just ask them to be a tour guide?"

I'm going crazy...
