Chapter 280 - 280 Poisonous in Wine
When the protagonist arrives, the banquet also begins. First of all, the music of the banquet venue has changed, and the melodious melody unconsciously accelerates the rhythm a little.
Naff and his wife and children stepped on the carpet and walked into the banquet venue. The lights, the sight, and the footage of the reporters were aimed at the young couple.
Except for the late arrival at the banquet venue, everything else was perfectly carried out according to the original process. The Naff couple first apologized to the guests waiting for their arrival, and then began to introduce the core figures of the banquet, that is, the bloodline of the two political families, their daughter.
This is to pave the way for their children who have just been born in advance and get familiar with them in the upper class. Usually, this means that the child has been appointed by the family and intends to focus on training. When they are not the head of the family, they will also play the same role as the pillar of the family.
The child's appearance indicates a signal that the political situation of the empire is changing.
The three major forces of the empire are the military, the scientific society and the administrative department, and the administrative department seems to be unified, but in fact there are many forces, which is also the result of the empire's deliberate failure to stop it. Infighting is human nature, and it is not a bad thing to have a way to vent.
In the competition, there will always be some outstanding people, and among a group of outstanding people, more outstanding people will be selected and increased step by step, and there will be a big family that can influence many small forces to a certain extent by relying on the network. The Luo Sheng family is the most typical example.
The opposite of the Luosheng family is the royal family, so the civilian power of the empire has had a similar polarization for a period of time. Now the two families have married. If they merge into one, it means that the administrative department will almost tend to unify, and the energy mastered by this family will be second only to the army. Fang and the science will be these giants.
However, these have nothing to do with Huo Gu. It is just invited to go through the scene. The 'Big Mac' in the eyes of these Selin nobles is at most a 'microorganism' in its view. Therefore, not long after the banquet began, Huo Gu didn't pay much attention to it and kept thinking about what excuse to slip away.
His face has been exposed, and the head of state has also given his face. Instead of staying here and talking about useless things with the Selin people, it's better to sneak to Greenscher to copy more knowledge.
Just as Huo Gu was thinking like this, another Selene came over.
"Hello, sir, I'm Braun, the eldest son of the Abraham family. Abraham, can I ask you a few words?
"Of course. My name is 'Tan'. It's nice to meet you."
A few words of greeting each other opened the topic.
"I've always wanted to visit you, but I always couldn't meet you for various reasons. I didn't expect to meet you at this banquet. This is really fate."
Oh, it turned out to be one of the many 'flies' that always revolve around the embassy...
"In fact, to be honest, I didn't expect to receive an invitation to this banquet. It is said that all the people invited to this banquet are important figures in your empire."
"Ha ha, it's really humorous to talk about you. It's the honor for a big man like you to participate in this banquet."
Braun's face was smiling. His demeanor, movements and language grasp were very accurate. He would not give people the illusion of being too close and disgusted, nor would he make people feel a sense of distance and difficult to communicate. The scale was just right. It can be seen that the Selin man in front of him was working hard in communication skills.
"Speaking of which, the food of you Selin people is really complicated and needs to be specially prepared. Don't you think it's troublesome?"
"Eating physically and mentally is different from simply filling your stomach... Sir, why don't you experience the difference between them yourself?"
With that, the young man named Braun picked up the tableware and plates on the table next to Huo Gu and put a piece of pastry on the table on the plate.
Huo Gu drove the tentacles and learned from the other party's movements. He also picked up the pastry plate. After looking at it for a while, he took the first bite.
"...It doesn't feel much different. It's just that the eating process has changed."
Taste is a feedback stimulus of the senses to the cerebral cortex. Selin people deliberately slow down the process of eating, so that the brain can fully receive the stimulation from the sense of taste. Therefore, for Selin people, filling their stomachs and enjoying delicious food are two concepts.
But Huo Gu and the collector's senses are not as dull as the Selins, so there is no difference between filling their stomachs and enjoying delicious food.
Braun, who didn't know this, just shook his head with a smile, thinking that the other party did not understand the essentials, so he wanted to demonstrate it to the other party.
Then... he was moved for a moment, and the 'cooking enemy' was added to the pastry, which was a delicacy that no Selin could face calmly.
When he came to his senses, he noticed Huo Gu's sight and subconsciously touched his cheeks, full of food debris.
Braun hurriedly tidyed up his appearance and coughed dryly.
"I'm sorry, I'm out of the form. It's worthy of being the chef's food. It really lives up to its reputation..."
"Uh, Chef?" historical
Hogu knew that Braun's reaction was because a small amount of 'cooking enemies' were added to the food. He thought Braun knew it.
"It's not clear about you, right? In order to make this banquet, The two families invited the supreme 'chef king' of the famous food industry to be the chef, and all the food has to go through his strict control.
"Oh...that's right."
Huo Gu nodded as if he pretended to understand and said in his heart.
That is to say, is it the guy with the name of the chef king who used their 'enemy of cooking' and pretended to be his own skills?
Then, Huo Gu knocked on the background of the chef king. As a result, it was a little different from Huo Gu's idea. He was the food supreme who had become famous for many years and won countless awards.
Since you have real talent and practical learning, let it go for the time being - Huo Gu, who is worried that he will smear his trade goods, will be relieved.
Under the peaceful scene of the banquet, the two groups of people and horses stared at Huo Gu's position, like a beast locking its prey, slowly opening its fangs.
"The wood has been completed. Let the people on the roof prepare to recharge things. Today, they must die here."
"I understand."
On the other side, there are some differences.
"We're ready to do it. The guy who is waiting for hasn't taken action yet, so we can only do it ourselves."
"Remember, the messenger must not die. All we need is the fact that 'the messenger was attacked and injured'."
"I understand."
Huo Gu and Braun didn't know it at all, which led to Braun's thinking that Huo Gu was interested in the chef king, so he said a lot of things about the chef king's past.
"It is said that the chef's family has been studying food for generations, and they also have extremely strict requirements for taste. In order to improve their sensitivity to taste, they will restrict them from eating any flavorful food. They can't touch it, either sour, bitter, spicy and salty..."
As soon as he said too much, he was a little thirsty, so he picked up the wine that had already been prepared by the table and drank it. As a result...
Poo!
