I Am the Crown Prince in France

Chapter 824 Speeding in the Kitchen

"Two months ago, His Majesty the Queen summoned Miss Vironic for this matter and asked her what reward she wanted. She said she just wanted to be your maid. His Majesty was confirming that she had excellent court etiquette, appearance management, and silent dust removal After , cooking and other skills, I happily agreed. "

Veronic's family is a hereditary nobleman and has a certain status in the Palace of Versailles, so she is barely qualified to be a maid for the prince. Queen Mary thanked her for helping Camelia, so she agreed.

Carmelia glanced at the girl and whispered to Joseph: "Your Highness, Miss Vironic really admires you very much. After learning that she could come to Brussels, she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep for several nights."

Joseph smiled and nodded to Vironic, but he didn't feel anything special.

After all, there were dozens of maids around him, and only a few bedroom maids could remember his names. At the same time, the competition is also fierce, and this woman may be replaced in a few months.

"Your Highness," reminded Vironic carefully, "so what about dinner?"

"Oh, it's a little late today. Let's try your craft next time."

"As for your wishes, Your Highness." The girl's face showed just the right loneliness, she took two steps back, and stood behind Camelia again.

Joseph turned to Emman and said, "Please ask the chef to prepare a more dinner and deliver it here. I want to have a meal with Camelia."

He has been away from Paris for a long time this time, and is about to listen to the maid and the lady telling the recent situation of the king, queen, Charles and others.

When she mentioned dinner again, Carmelia suddenly raised her chest with some smugness and said to Joseph: "Your Highness, thank you for your invitation. Well, I have something to give to you, as a return gift for dinner."

Joseph has been busy with military affairs and state affairs recently. He felt a rare relaxation at this time and asked with interest: "Oh? What is that?"

"It's in the yard outside." Camelia distinguished the direction, came to the window on the east side, and pointed to a "carriage" not far away, "It's that, Your Highness. I call it "Flying Race". kitchen'!"

Joseph's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned his head and said, "You mean, can cooking be done in that carriage?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Camelia said, "When I went to recuperate, I saw the temporary cooking utensils used by the nobles for picnics. I remembered that His Majesty was always worried that you would not be able to eat delicious food on the front line. So he improved the thing with Mr. Picard.

"There was also a comment from Lieutenant Leru, you know, he had participated in the war in Tunisia."

Picard was the exclusive carpenter of the prince, while Lieutenant Leru was the palace guard.

Joseph asked again, "Your...ah, is it called 'Flying Kitchen'? How heavy is it? Can you drive in the wild?"

"It's probably about the same weight as a carriage that has been in three people," said the maid. "Lieutenant Leru has tried it and can pass it as long as it is not particularly muddy."

"So what can it do?"

"It has an oven and a stove inside, and Mr. Picard designed them to share a furnace. Just unfold the wall of the car and you can use it. Oh, and there is a whole set of pots and cookware, as well as coals, seasonings and so on." Kame Lea seemed to like her little invention very much, and she seemed to be happier. "If she is a skilled chef, she can use it to complete stews of 150 people in 20 minutes. Including the time to make a fire."

When Joseph heard this, he didn't even care about dinner and pulled Cameria out the house: "Let me take a closer look at it. You may have created something amazing."

Don't underestimate the soldiers' diet.

Eating is really directly related to combat effectiveness.

It is conceivable that the soldiers on both sides of the war ate dry bread and rock-solid cured meat, while eating hot meat, vegetable soup and soft hot bread on the other side. Who has the higher morale when the war will come?

Even the latter's physical strength is much higher than the former. Especially when it is cold, I will eat a bowl of tomato beef soup and will be resurrected directly after I have a full blood.

In this era, the armies of various countries basically used dry bread and cured meat as rations, and were seasoned with a little wine.

The elite troops with the best conditions can heat up the food and have fewer impurities in the bread.

Even officers want to eat hot dishes that are freshly cooked, which are basically a luxury.

The core reason for restricting military food is that, first, the cost of food, and second, battlefield cooking will increase a large amount of logistics supplies.

During the war, the army would rather transport more shells than bring a lot of cooking utensils.

But Camelia's battlefield dining car is very mobile. She can walk with a horse and drag it, which can almost bear the food of four or five hundred people.

A regiment brings three cars and eight or nine chefs can greatly improve the soldiers' food level. The increased pressure on logistics is completely acceptable.

Joseph remembers that similar field dining trucks didn't appear until the late stage of the Napoleonic War, and the equipment was not large.

The treasure girl in front of me actually made it so early!

He and Camelia came to the "Flying Kitchen" and ordered the guards to open it. They saw that there was a clever wooden frame structure inside, with the stove on the left and the tools and storage space on the right.

It seems that Mr. Picard has also put in some effort.

Joseph looked at the size of the furnace and the standard iron pot. Judging from his experience in joining the army, Camelia's meal data was still conservative. It was estimated that she was asked by the court chef to test it.

If the rude men in the army were replaced, they would probably be able to make stews of 200 people in 20 minutes.

He simply asked someone to unfold the dining cart, ignite the fire, and call the chef to cook dinner here.

Half an hour later, two simple tomato stewed pigeons, artichoke mashed potatoes, roasted veal, and a few slices of bread appeared in front of him.

This is a big pot rice, so it takes about the same time to make 2 servings and 40 servings.

At the small wooden table in the open space in the yard, Carmelia was eating the food in the plate and secretly glanced at the happy Prince's Highness, her cheeks were red and her face was full of a happy smile.

Your Highness has done so many things for her and saved her life. This time she can finally repay Your Highness a little.

It would be great if I could do more for Your Highness.

After dinner, Carmelia wanted to continue serving the prince, but Joseph considered that she was exhausted and asked her to rest first.

When the maid returned to her room and was about to open the door, she heard a girl's voice coming from behind: "Miss Carmelia, do you want to be closer to His Royal Highness, um," she said.

Cameria could hear it without turning around. It was Vironic Legris.
