Yes, Helena didn't go back to her room to rest all night, but was on the sofa in the hall, waiting for Langdon to come back.

But because it was too late, Helena fell asleep in the hall without knowing it, and the maids didn't dare to carry it, so they could only cover her with a blanket.

Her temple hair is disheveled, her eyes are red from lack of sleep, and her whole body is sore.

But Helena didn't care about this at all. She just stared at the maid who woke her up, and asked eagerly, "Where's Langdon? Are you back?"

The maid stammered in great embarrassment: "Well, the Duke didn't come back. He spent the night at Mr. Roland Toth's house."

Helena continued to ask: "Did you tell him that I was waiting for him?"

"This, of course, has been said..."

The maid said cautiously: "But, the Duke said, said..."

Helena's eyes seemed to be burning with a cluster of flames, but at the same time it made the person watching feel cold. She said word by word: "Tell me what he said."

The maid subconsciously stood up a little more straight, and relayed.

"'You're an adult, learn to take responsibility for yourself, wait until as long as you want, but I'm not going back' - above."

Helena's complexion became a little paler, almost transparent under the sun.

"Also, and..." The maid showed an even more troubled expression.

"...what else?"

The maid whispered: "The Duke commissioned Mr. Roland Toth to find another residence as the new Duke's residence..."

Helena's heart had long been numb from the pain, and she couldn't even express any more intense emotions at this moment. After a long silence, she slowly looked around.

It's so strange, she has lived here for several years, there is obviously a maid standing in front of her, and there is an old housekeeper looking over with worried eyes in the distance...

Why has she never felt that the Duke's mansion is so quiet and empty...or even strange like this moment?

At this point, Langdon will never look back.

These people can move to the new Duke's mansion at any time and continue to serve the Duke himself.

Only she was left alone.

only she...

Helena's icy blue eyes were filled with tears.

She raised her head and blinked vigorously so as not to shed water in public.

"Miss……"

"Shouldn't I care about him? Shouldn't I tell him what I did wrong?"

Helena seemed to be talking to the maid, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

"I took care of him, and he has become like this. I don't care what he says, what will happen to him? Even if my lord father and my lord mother are in front of me, I can still say that I did nothing wrong. It was Langdon. No, I always can't understand my difficulties..."

The maid didn't dare to speak, and could only listen to her nervous murmur in silence.

"I did nothing wrong..."

Helena stood up from the sofa like a ghost, and walked into the depths of the mansion in a trance, not even hearing what the maid said next.

"...Miss, and a new letter from Mr. Kane..."

Helena didn't respond, and staggered and disappeared around the corner.

Kane himself didn't know that the letter he sent in the past might not be followed. He was still anxiously thinking about his future in the Imperial School of Magic.

He had already received the letter of dismissal and the letter of recommendation, and he didn't know who leaked the news, but many people knew that he was no longer a member of the Stuart family.

In the past, Kane relied on being the servant of the Duke's son, pretending to be a tiger, and doing a lot of things that are "innocuous to the upper class nobles".

At this moment, as soon as he turned back into the youngest son of the baron and returned to his status as a low-level nobleman, many people he had offended began to take revenge on him.

The cynicism is light, and some people even complain directly to the school, demanding that those who do not meet the regulations leave the school.

Kane's talent is limited, and he was not suitable for the path of a pure magician, so he has been working hard to become a knight. He also learned how to enchant weapons in battle and other things in school.

He is four years older than Langdon, but after passing the second grade assessment, he has been repeated in the third grade, and has not passed the third grade graduation assessment so far.

If it weren't for Kane being Langdon's servant and being regarded as a vassal rather than an independent person, he would not have been eligible to stay in the school long ago.

Originally, the school didn't respond so quickly to this kind of thing, but I couldn't bear it, and some people had already disliked Kane.

As a result, this incident turned out that Flora performed a divination on Langdon out of a mischievous mentality, and successfully made Kane drop out of school and lose his job...

Kane felt that he was too unlucky!

Langdon is such an astonishing injustice that he insists that he is the one in the divination just because he is close, he wants to curse!

Kane didn't even dare to let his family know what happened to him, otherwise he might be sold to some 60-year-old noble widow by his family to marry him!

Fortunately, Kane still has some savings, which is enough to stay in the imperial capital for a while, so Kane packed up his things and moved to a hotel, hoping to find something to solve his predicament before the money ran out. Method.

He doesn't bother to serve as an attendant to ordinary rich people, but there is a high probability that decent nobles will not use him. I can only hope that Helena can help him, and I don't know if I have read his letter...

Langdon didn't pay much attention to Kane's affairs. Someone came to tell him that "Kane left with his second-year diploma", and he just nodded casually, and then continued to dive into the business related to opening the store.

Because she was interested in this project, Xia Tiya also joined the plan and was responsible for part of the marketing in the early stage.

Unknowingly, in just one week, all the nobles in the imperial capital heard about a mysterious shop more or less.

It is said that the chef in the store used to be the royal chef of the Kingdom of Saliere, and the dishes are all dishes that they have never seen in the August Empire. If you can go to this store to eat once, you can satisfy your taste buds and experience foreign countries. Maybe you can learn some of the secrets of the Kingdom of Sarière.

The chef has a eccentric personality. The dishes provided for each meal are different and will change with the seasons. Customers cannot order food. It is possible that a dish can only be eaten once in a lifetime.

Moreover, it only opens twice a day, and only a few customers are received at a time. If you want to eat, you must make an appointment.

What?You don't know how to make an appointment?Don't know where the store is?

That means that your status is not suitable for this kind of high-end restaurant, you should make a reservation for a restaurant that matches your class.

What?Do you know how to make an appointment, but the date is full and you can't make an appointment?

Then wait!Even the Duke of Stuart can't make an appointment, and you are paying a lot of money to buy other people's reservations. How old are you, and you still want to jump in line? !

In this way, in the gradually restless atmosphere, the legendary "No Name" restaurant finally ushered in the first batch of guests.

Langdon and Shalltear sat in the dining room, and while the other real guests hadn't arrived, they got the script right.

That's right, the two of them are here to be babysitters...

"...That's it." Langdon was very satisfied with Shalltear, and it was easy to understand, "If it weren't for your inappropriate status, I would like to cooperate with you for a long time."

Shalltear withdrew her eyes from looking at the layout of the store and smiled.

"That's fine for now."

There is no need for a long-term cooperation. She can leave this country after she has learned everything Langdon has learned. This day should not be too far away.

Unless Langdon shocked her a lot...

Thinking of this, Shalltear hesitated.

... How do you feel, this possibility is really not low?

[Addition of monthly ticket 200]

24. Langdon is a genius! (4k words)

It can be said that the first appearance of the "No Name" restaurant has received unanimous praise from customers.

Outrageously expensive ingredients, fancy presentation, mysterious chef, expensive and rare entry qualifications...

All of this has nothing to do with improving the taste of the dishes, all the purpose is just to divide the class.

What you eat is the price and the sense of superiority.

In such a luxurious atmosphere, even if a glass of ordinary white water is expensive, they will take it for granted and willingly pay this part of the premium.

Are they buying water?

No, what you are buying is the recognition of your own status and class!

If the dignified nobles drink water at the same price as ordinary people, how can they reflect the gap-like difference between them?

Of course, in Langdon's words, all of these people were—

"Big head."

After finishing the meal, Langdon left through the main entrance and came back through the back door, muttering with satisfaction, "The more people like this, the better, so that we can make money."

Shalltear's eyes wandered.

Just now, there were a total of ten diners. Excluding her and Langdon, there were only eight real customers, and the lowest status was an earl's daughter.

These eight people, when they first entered the door, their eyes were still expectant and picky, but when they left, they were already secretly inquiring about the vacancy of the appointment.

The change is just a matter of serving a dozen dishes.

What happened during this period?

Take the first dish as an example.

The first course is the appetizer, which uses a custom-made plate. Only a small group of crystal clear meat is placed in the center of the huge plate, quietly leaning on the seaweed for embellishing colors, and the rest of the blank space is used. The sauce draws a nice pattern.

Introduction by the chef.

"This is a deep-sea fish called Sadli whitebait. The yield is very low and it cannot be farmed. The fish in front of you, in order to ensure the taste, was traded with Sadli's sea clan and transferred through the magic circle several times. It was sent to the imperial capital within a short period of time, and the travel expenses are already very reasonable."

"And I only choose the fish belly with the smoothest taste, and discard all other parts."

"Not to mention, the wine used to marinate the fish is the elf special brew from the elves. In order not to overwhelm the freshness of the fish, only the sweetness of the fruit wine is slightly contaminated with the fish. It is recommended that you eat the first sip alone, and the second Paired with the secret sauce, the taste is layered, and it is perfect for an appetizer."

"In order to let everyone taste this appetizer better, only water was served before. After that, there will be a choice of alcoholic beverages. You can consider whether to drink fruit juice or alcohol."

Although I haven't eaten a bite yet, and I don't know what it tastes like, but the eyes of the customers have clearly shown a trace of satisfaction.

That's right, what they put into their mouths is to make the common people suffocate by the cost of transportation alone, not to mention the rare origin of the ingredients themselves. If there are special rules in the way of eating, then it is more worthy of their identity.

Good ingredients, really will not be unpalatable if you cook them casually, the turnover rate is already very low, the chef Roland hired is really good, with the recipes collected by Roland's family, and Langdon Some of the opinions put forward can even surprise these picky nobles.

Especially for a certain hot dish, before it was served, just opening the lid of the pot filled the room with the aroma of meat fat.

On the plate that was actually served, there was a piece of meat that was soaked in juice, fat and thin, and would vibrate slightly when touched with a fork. It was served with rice that was only enough for one bite.

After one bite, first the elastic meat skin, then the fat meat that melts in the mouth, fat but not greasy, and then the tough lean meat, with a sweet fragrance and endless aftertaste.

"This... what kind of meat is this?"

"It's braised pork belly."

"Is it pork?" A customer wondered, "But the pork I've eaten before doesn't seem to taste like this..."

The chef was calm and composed: "I used the method of processing pork in the Kingdom of Saliere, which can maximize the deliciousness of the meat while removing the fishy smell..."

Langdon interjected at this moment: "So, you are indeed the royal chef of the Kingdom of Saliere?"

The head chef's face sank slightly, as if showing a trace of pain, even if it was fleeting, it could not escape the eyes of these elite nobles: "I am just an ordinary cook, everyone should come here just to taste delicious food... ...Let's not bring up rumors that are speculative."

Langdon pretended to be offended: "Just one question, you—"

A marquise sitting next to Langdon said tactfully, "Duke Stuart, if you don't eat any more, it will be cold."

Langdon accepted it.

His purpose has been achieved.

The customer chose to prevent him from asking questions instead of probing the chef, which already showed that their position was with the chef.

It seems that the fact that they can make pork delicious really shocked them, and they probably believed in the identity of the imperial chef with [-]% confidence.

There is no way, who made the different world treat the meat so roughly, whether it is fried or roasted, no amount of spices can cover up the fishy smell of the meat.

When Langdon said that he wanted to serve pork, Roland was a little hesitant, thinking that it would be easy to overturn, and Shalltear said it directly.

"No, pork doesn't taste good no matter how it is made, so it's better to get something safer."

As a result, Langdon said very calmly: "Who told you not to bleed, you should bleed first and then process it, the taste will definitely be different, try it if you don't believe me, I can give you a recipe."

Back then, some of his high school classmates immigrated abroad with their parents. He complained all day that the taste of foreign meat was very strange. He thought it was a breed problem. After investigation, he found that foreign countries did not bleed pigs and chickens...

Sure enough, the braised pork made after bloodletting immediately conquered Roland and Xiatiya, who doesn't eat pork, and even the chef himself wanted to learn from him.

Only Langdon was a little dissatisfied, and suggested that he could try to castrate the boar when it was a piglet, so that the taste would be better when it was raised and bled.
