Greetings, Mister Principal: Sofinet’s villa
Happily accepting Sophinet's help, Reiner and others took a carriage to Prest the next day, then took two trains, and finally arrived in North in the evening.
Compared to Toronto, which has many high-rise buildings, North is more like an ordinary seaside town. There are generally two to three-story small bungalows here, which are uniformly built with white bricks and stones, and appear clearly in the sunset. A golden color.
Different from ordinary stone roads, the walkways here are paved with various shells, extending straight forward to the seaside.
The salty sea breeze blows in, making people feel refreshed. On both sides of the road, there are people wearing light clothes. The shops are crowded, which really makes people feel the popularity here.
But Lena and others didn't have to worry. They took a carriage from the train station and soon arrived at a secluded villa.
This villa is located on a high beach, and the four-story building glows golden in the sun.
The carriage stopped, and Sophie was the first to get off. He was wearing an ordinary dress, revealing his slender and white calves.
"Master."
At the entrance of the villa, two rows of servants had already stood neatly, uniformly dressed. Except for a few people who were obviously chefs, the men were all in black and white waiter clothes, while the women were in classic maid clothes.
The person who spoke was an old man with a white beard. He was wearing white gloves and an elegant dress. Even in this hot weather, he did not leave a drop of sweat.
"Qiao, long time no see. The last time I saw you, I was only ten years old."
Sofinet smiled and then introduced to the servants.
"These are my friends, the most distinguished guests."
The butler named Qiao also bowed slowly when he saw Reiner and others getting off the carriage.
Reiner nodded in greeting, and then followed Sophinet into the villa.
Sofinet did not lie to Reiner. The decoration of this villa is very elegant, low-key and luxurious, which shows the taste of the owner. These servants are also well-trained and neatly help Reiner and the others carry their luggage. Carried to the room.
Although the rooms in this villa are enough to ensure that everyone has a separate room, out of mutual care, they decided to share a room with multiple people.
Claire shared a room with Fina and Alymiya, Dana shared a room with Charlotte. As for Reiner, he declined Sophinet's request to share a room and chose a separate room by himself.
"Wow, it's the sea!"
As soon as Claire walked into the room, she saw a balcony with open curtains on one side. The balcony faced the sea. As the sun set, the originally blue sea was dyed golden. In the distance, several white sails were swaying in the waves. Near the coast, there are countless swimmers playing.
"Is that the Silver Desert over there? There are so many people."
Emiya walked to Claire and looked at the area. On the beach, colorful parasols were open, and all kinds of tourists were coming and going. The laughter and laughter could be clearly heard even from such a long distance. Now it was already It was dusk, and there were already fewer tourists on the beach, but it still looked a little crowded, which made Amelia a little worried.
The three of them took turns to take a hot bath first to relieve the fatigue caused by the long journey. Just as Fina, who was the last one to finish washing, was changing her clothes, a knock on the door made the three of them look at the door.
Dong dong dong——
"Dinner is ready. Please come downstairs to enjoy the three ladies."
Qiao's voice came from outside the door. Fina opened the door and saw the housekeeper standing at the door, saluting the three of them.
"Okay, Teacher Claire, Alymiya, shall we go?"
"That being said, I am indeed hungry!"
Claire jumped up from the bed, but Amelia didn't show much emotion.
The three of them followed Butler Qiao to the first floor and walked into the restaurant on the left.
The decoration of the restaurant in this villa is also extremely exquisite, with paintings by famous artists hanging on the walls, and narrative murals on the sky. A small long mahogany table is located in the center of the restaurant, with a fireplace on the other side. With the sofa, it seems that this place can be used not only as a restaurant, but also as a place for rest and entertainment.
Soffinet was already sitting on one side of the long table, and Reiner was sitting opposite him.
To the left of the two of them, Charlotte and Dana were already seated, and it seemed that only Claire and the others were missing.
"The chefs here are very skilled and are good at using local ingredients. I hope you will be satisfied."
Sofinet said with a smile, and saw the servants pushing the dining cart and pushing the dishes in one after another.
The first dish was a salt-baked fish. The chef opened the lid next to the dining table, and he could see that in the huge plate, a plump fish was wrapped in a large amount of white salt, and it was also exuding bursts of heat. The chef skillfully cut it open, removed the skin and applied a little olive oil. Finally, he took out a strange green fruit that was only the size of a finger, and sprinkled a little bit of the seeds on the fish.
“This is salt-baked migratory foam fish with finger lemon. The fish is the fish that has just migrated to the river to lay eggs. It is the fattest. And this finger lemon is a special lemon, only the size of a finger. The taste is unique."
The chef introduced and placed a plate of fish in front of everyone.
The white fish meat is smeared with olive oil, which makes it look a little crystal clear under the light, and the light pink lemon fruit pieces are embellished on it, giving the dish a little more texture.
Reiner put a piece of fish meat into his mouth with a few lemon cubes, and his eyes widened slightly. ~IndoMTL.com~ As recorded in books, the meat of migratory foam fish is delicate, and the fish in the waiting period is even more plump and delicious. The salt-baking method can easily make the meat become dry, shriveled and difficult to swallow, but this dish The heat is controlled just right, and paired with olive oil, it restores the original taste of the fish.
The most amazing thing is the special finger lemon. Originally, Reiner thought it was just a decoration to adjust the taste, but after eating it, he realized that this lemon not only has the ordinary freshness and sourness, but also has a hint of apple and banana. Because the migratory foam fish is very plump, it is easy to feel greasy. However, under the neutralization of finger lemon, the greasy feeling quietly disappears, and is replaced by rich layers of sweet and sour and the salty taste of fish, which makes your mouth water. Looking forward to the next dish even more.
Dinner adopts the traditional form favored by classical nobles, which is divided into appetizers, soups, side dishes, main dishes, vegetables, desserts and tea. This dining method is cumbersome and formal, for mages who advocate efficiency It is too troublesome, so this method is rarely used in dinner parties.
The main function of an appetizer is to whet your appetite, so salty and sour tastes are usually used to stimulate the tongue, and the dish in front of you undoubtedly achieves this.
Then, a colorful dish was served along with the toasted bread that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
