"Mr. Reynolds, please have a taste of this" cream sirot flower bud "..."
As soon as the two maids put a new dish on the table, the Duke of Castro said eagerly.
The reason why he was so eager was not how eager he was to win over Renault, but because he wanted to hear what Renault could say after tasting the dish.
At the beginning of lunch, everyone thought it was another boring dinner. As we all know, although Prince Castro is famous, he is actually a serious and boring man.
It''s hard to hear laughter on any occasion where he appears. The dining table is no exception, so it''s never a pleasant experience to have dinner with him.
However, Renault surprised everyone in the restaurant. As long as the dishes he had tasted, he could tell something new and interesting and unheard of by ordinary people, which made the atmosphere very lively.
And this dining table quickly became Renault''s performance stage.
As soon as the silver plate was put on the table, miss aleeti, the granddaughter of Prince Castro, immediately took over the conversation. The beautiful lady began to introduce the dish in a soft voice.
"Mr. Renault, this is the flower bud of sirot just picked this morning. It is also one of the few fresh vegetables that can be eaten in this season. Its taste is very unique, sweet and refreshing with a little bitter taste, which can alleviate the greasiness brought by meat..."
As she explained, she watched Renault with her big flashing amber eyes.
Since learning that Renault is a powerful and extraordinary person of wind system, this young girl has a great interest in this young man who is about the same age as herself.
"Many people are used to using honey to cover up the bitterness of the flower buds of sirot, but many people think that it is this bitterness that makes the flower buds of sirot have a longer aftertaste..."
Miss allietti gave a playful smile, and Joan''s nose widened slightly. She turned to look at Prince Castro and said with a smile:
"my grandfather agreed with this saying very much. He always thought that young people like us didn''t know how to appreciate this unique flavor..."
On the other side, Prince Castro shook his head and laughed when he saw his granddaughter choreographing herself.
Renault took a cream covered sirot flower bud with a silver fork, chewed it in his mouth for a few times, felt the slight bitterness, and said with a smile:
"it reminds me of a saying that only people with certain experience can experience the taste behind the bitterness. This bitterness is actually a state of mind, a kind of ''bitterness of life''..."
Prince Castro clapped his hand and praised Renault''s words:
"what a ''life''s pain'', Mr. Renault, you are right..."
Renault bowed slightly to the Duke to thank him for his praise. Then he said:
"in my opinion..."
As soon as these words came out, the people at the table were quiet and waiting for Renault''s next words.
In Renault''s previous "impromptu speech", every wonderful discussion begins with the four words "in my opinion", which has made them naturally form some kind of conditioned reflex.
"Bitter taste, should be a warning taste, a self-defense mechanism..."
"If we feel bitter when tasting a certain food, it''s actually our body, solemnly warning us: this kind of food has potential risks, please stop eating..."
On hearing this, miss allietti could not help exclaiming:
"how can the flower buds of sirot be poisonous?"
She immediately realized that she had interrupted Renault, which was quite impolite, and apologized again and again.
Renault first said "it''s OK" to her and began to explain.
"People who often roam outside should know that most foods with bitter taste in the wild are toxic to varying degrees. The more bitter the taste is, the more severe the toxicity is likely to be."
"When you taste these poisonous foods, if the human body can quickly produce reactions such as nausea and nausea, it will avoid food poisoning and prevent people from a series of adverse consequences caused by poisoning."
"I believe everyone has a feeling that when the bitterness reaches a certain level, you will feel nauseous and nauseous. This is the spontaneous warning of your body that you should not continue to eat..."
Everyone at the table couldn''t help nodding their heads.
"My understanding of miss aleeti''s question just now is as follows..."
At this point, Renault nodded to miss aleeti.
"To some extent, the roots, stems and leaves of plants contain some bitter ingredients, which can be regarded as a kind of self-protection. It''s not hard to understand that if they are not bitter, they will definitely attract the attention of all herbivorous beasts."
"The vast majority of plants are not suitable for human consumption, with the exception of a very small number of plants. Sirot flower bud is one of them. We cultivate it as a vegetable from generation to generation, and choose the offspring with less and less bitter taste.""This is actually a kind of artificial selection. The more toxic varieties will be eliminated, and the remaining flower buds will be safer and safer. However, I don''t think this kind of artificial selection has been completed. The existence of bitterness indicates that there is still a trace of toxin in it."
"It''s just that when eating the flower buds of sirolimus, because the intake of toxins is very small, it will not cause harm to the human body in a certain period of time, because the human body has a certain metabolic capacity and can discharge harmful substances."
"However, if excessive consumption of sirolimus flower buds, the accumulation of toxins to a certain extent, the human body may have some bad symptoms."
Then Renault concluded:
"therefore, I personally believe that sirot flower buds should not be eaten frequently, especially for the weak children and the elderly..."
As soon as he finished, miss allietti waved to the maid, pointed to the dish "cream sirot flower bud" and said in a loud voice:
"Yvette, take this dish down..."
This action fully shows that the young lady has a deep faith in Renault''s words.
Prince Castro stopped his granddaughter in tears and laughter:
"alietie, your excellency Renault has said that as long as you don''t eat it often, it''s ok..."
He looked back at Renault and said in a sincere tone:
"your knowledge, Mr. Renault, is amazing. Now I can fully understand why you came up with that genius idea."
Renault said with a faint smile:
"you flatter me..."
This is what Renault tries to create for himself. If he wants to influence the count''s decision, he must prove that he is smart enough, which is why he talks at the dinner table.
So far, he has been very successful.
At this time, aliette looked at Renault with admiration and asked with great interest:
"grandfather, what is your idea of genius?"
Prince Castro hesitated for a moment and said:
"allietti, I can tell you about it, but you have to promise that you will not disclose it to others until the plan is implemented..."
For his favorite granddaughter, the Duke could not keep his mouth shut.
In leiyunbao, a noble residence.
In a dark room, three figures were talking in a low voice.
"Renault Odin? Is that the one who came to leiyunbao today? The Duke of Castro invited him to lunch? " Asked a bold voice.
"Yes, this is what my staff just heard from Duke castle..." Answered a slightly soft voice.
"The name Renault Odin makes me feel familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere?" This voice is a little hoarse.
"A few days ago, Duke Byron seems to have purchased a large number of weapons from a chamber of Commerce called" tide chamber ". I remember the president of this chamber of commerce is Renault Odin..." Said the soft voice.
"So Renault Odin is an arms dealer? What on earth does that old fox of Castro want to do? " The coarse voice asked again.
"It seems that Castro wants to use this Renault Odin to beat us. He always thinks that the price of the last purchase order is too high..." Said the husky voice.
"It should be true, otherwise the stubborn old dog would not invite a person he had never met to lunch. Even if the other person was a person with extraordinary style, it was not worth him ignoring the Duke''s dignity..." The soft voice echoed.
"What shall we do?" Rough voice some anxious ask a way.
"Don''t worry, let''s find someone to investigate Renault Odin first, and then find a way to drive him out of leiyunbao. No, drive him out of the kingdom. An outsider dares to come to our territory for food..." Said the husky voice.
"By the way, I heard that the quality of the weapons of that tide chamber of commerce is very good. Shall we do something about it?" The soft voice is getting lower and lower.
