Chapter 2672 “blind date”

In the Museum of London there is a map of a prehistoric landscape showing the remains of mammoths, rhinoceroses, bison and bears, as well as a flint ax which was found in the Southwark area south of the Thames, meaning that in prehistoric times

, there are tribes of unknown origin living here.

There is also a beautifully crafted bronze shield that once belonged to the Romans. Although it is known that the Roman legions used iron swords, the iron content of the sword was very low, which is why it was made so short.

Bronze ware did not completely withdraw from the Roman army, or citizen military service did not completely disappear from the Roman legions where Caesar served. At that time, it was the end of the Roman Republic. This shield was an item carried by the free people themselves.

The ancestors have to pass it down from generation to generation.

He was not afraid of war, and even thought it was an honor, until he died on the battlefield, and this shield was buried with him. In short, that world and Pomona, the "Buckingham Palace Annex" where Severus was going

There is a huge difference.

The first impression of the "annex" to Pomona was that it was shiny, all the metal supplies were polished to a discernible shine, and the marble on the floor was as smooth as a mirror, and it didn't have that luxurious and alienating feel.

When Louis XIV built the Palace of Versailles, he chose the Baroque style not entirely because of the luxury of this decorative style, but also because it symbolized "authority." Portraits of Louis XIV can be seen everywhere in the Palace of Versailles. After all, Versailles is his

"Home", isn't it normal to see his portrait in the owner's home?

"How do you feel?" Severus asked easily.

Pomona was momentarily at a loss for words.

Then Severus walked into the hotel in a familiar way.

This restaurant is not a Michelin-starred restaurant because it is not the "main body" that attracts guests. Many people come to the hotel restaurant to "experience" it. Most real guests will choose to enjoy a night in their suites.

Seven thousand pounds of "room service."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith, long time no see." The waiter at the door said to Severus with a smile.

Severus smiled falsely.

"I'm really sorry, the seat you usually like to sit is no longer available. Do you mind sitting somewhere else?" the waiter asked again.

"Of course." The old bat was "understanding" and considerate.

So the waiter took them to a corner, and there were tableware for two people on the table.

"Please wait a moment." The waiter said with a smile and walked away.

After he left, Pomona looked at Snape.

"When did you become a regular here?" Pomona asked in a low voice.

He pretended to be mysterious and didn't answer. Then another waiter came over and handed Pomona a menu that looked like a greeting card.

"Good afternoon, miss, this is the tea we can provide. I hope it contains the tea you usually like to drink."

"Oh, thank you." Pomona took the menu and opened it. There were 26 kinds of tea in it.

"You could have some champagne, too," Severus said.

"If you order champagne, then I don't recommend you drink hot tea right away. It's not good for your stomach and body to drink hot tea at the same time."

"I want to drink tea." Pomona smiled and said, "Just your best-selling kind."

"I want champagne." Severus curled his lips and said with a smile, "To celebrate the 'victory'."

"Okay." The waiter said with a smile, "Do you want something special again?"

"Please call Cody." Severus said to the waiter, "I made an appointment with him today."

"As you command, sir."

Then the waiter quickly left their table.

"What's 'special'?" Pomona asked immediately.

"That means 'extraordinary'." Severus said in a long tone.

Pomona was furious.

When visiting the Evans family, Mrs. Evans would also remind Pomona, Lily and Mr. Evans not to drink cold beer and cold Coke before dinner, but no one listened to her.

Why is the situation different in another place?

==================================================

=========

Although the "breakfast party" was held in a museum, the food was prepared by Georgiana in advance by the hotel's chef. The expectant guests were shocked when they saw the food placed on the table.

"Please have a seat," said Georgiana, sitting at the head of the long table like a hostess.

The Genoese bankers looked at each other, but they still sat down according to etiquette. For those with female companions, the waiter even pulled out the chairs for them.

Everyone knows the luxury of French cuisine, but what is placed in front of them are some "home-cooked dishes", such as scrambled eggs with porcini mushrooms, grilled sausages, Araves cheese, cream of mushroom soup, and beef with red raspberries and pistachios.

Sugar tart.

This is completely not up to the standard of a "state banquet" and can only be served on the tables of some relatively wealthy families. Maybe the guests' own meals are more sumptuous than this.

"I often heard Napoleoni say that Genoa is his hometown and you are all his family members." Georgiana said with a smile, "So we won't do what the French do."

"What is that?" A young Genoese looked curiously at the center of the dining table. There were no decorations there, but a silver cover that looked like there was a plate of dishes.

Georgiana looked at him.

"How about we make a bet?" she said with a smile.

"What bet?" asked the young Genoese.

"If you guess correctly, you can take any one of them away." Georgiana said, and those women dressed in ancient Greek clothes appeared beside the wealthy people in a charming way.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who they are, and the guests have no interest in them.

"Legend has it that Antony and Cleopatra lived a very luxurious life in Egypt, but every day was the same and they felt boring, so one day they made a bet." Georgiana picked up the table.

A glass of champagne on ice "Cleopatra said to Antony, do you believe that I can consume 10 million sestals in one meal?"

"I've heard this story," another Genoese said, "but what Cleopatra actually ate was pearls soaked in vinegar. No matter how much or expensive the food on the table was, it was worth ten million dollars.

Styles is so far gone."

"I think you've guessed it," Georgiana said. As soon as she finished speaking, a waiter lifted off the silver cover, revealing the "dish" inside.

"Do you want us to eat pearls too?" asked a bald man with a big beard.

"How about giving it a try?" Georgiana encouraged.

The guests looked at the "pearls" cautiously.

"Let me give it a try." St. Tyrell said, and then the attendant took a "pearl" and put it in a gold plate. He held it and placed it in front of St. Tyrell like a sacrifice.

Both in color and size, it looked like a real pearl. Saint-Hilaire put it into his mouth without using a knife and fork, but with his hands.

Everyone watched him chew.

But no one heard the crisp sound of teeth chewing hard objects.

"What is it?" asked the same bearded bald man.

"Foie gras," Saint-Hilaire said calmly.

At this time, the Genoese people came over. They shared the plate of "foie gras pearls" on the table and broke it open in their hands. It only had a fondant shell, and inside the shell was indeed foie gras.

At this time, the attendants opened the door and placed the freshly baked and still hot bread in the hands of the guests. Georgiana also took a "pearl", put it on the bread and put it in her mouth.

Others also followed her example and ate. The silky foie gras was as delicate as chocolate sauce, but ordinary families might choose real chocolate sauce.

"What you just ate is worth 26 million francs." Georgiana said with a smile, "Do you think what I said is true?"

"I believe it." The young Genoese who almost bet with her looked at Georgiana and said, "What are we betting on this time?"

Georgiana looked sideways at him, and he looked at her with bright eyes.

"I think everyone should know that due to the reduction in food production in the Baltic Sea, some countries are falling into famine." Georgiana looked around at everyone. "When others are hungry, they will not envy those who are full, but Mengde

Si Jiu also said, 'Health maintained by strict dieting is also an annoying disease'. In any case, let's have some delicious food to cheer up."

"For the food." The young man immediately said excitedly, "And for the beautiful Miss Georgiana, thank you for the delicious food and wine she prepared for us."

"No, you should pay tribute to Montesquieu." A 30-year-old man with black hair raised the champagne in his hand.

"Honor Montesquieu," the others shouted together.

For a moment, they drank and drank. Because the champagne poured into the glasses was uneven, the crystal glasses collided and made different sounds. It sounded like the scales of music, which merged into a pleasant song.
