Since entering the bedroom, the Fake Queen has been unable to find an opportunity to be alone with her beloved, so she has delayed time until the afternoon.
At this moment, the clock's hands have moved to ten to six, not far from a certain time period.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Liu Caihua led Wang Xiaole and Freya to the living room as the host to personally entertain them.
As soon as the two guests entered, they immediately saw well-trained maids neatly placing plates on the dining table.
The meal that was about to be served was a standard Western cuisine. The banquet table was first covered with soft cushions such as felt and velvet according to the size of the table top, and then tied tightly with rope, and then covered with a banquet tablecloth.
The tableware arranged by the maids was also exquisite.
The tableware used for Western cuisine banquets generally include knives (including meat knives, fish knives, butter knives, fruit knives), forks (meat forks, fish forks, dessert forks), spoons (soup spoons, coffee spoons, tea spoons), and wine glasses (water glasses, champagne glasses).
In the center of the dining table was a bouquet of flowers, which was arranged into a hemisphere shape due to the circular table, looking extremely beautiful.
The first dish to be served was the appetizer, mainly salads, which were generally light and not favored by carnivores like Wang Xiaole.
Fortunately, after the appetizers, various soups and liquid foods were brought out. There was a wide variety of soups.
The last dishes brought out were the most abundant, including seafood, poultry, beef, lamb, desserts, and beverages, covering a wide range of options.
To be honest, this was Wang Xiaole's first time eating a proper Western meal, and lacking experience, he didn't know how to start.
At this time, it was time for the "experienced foodie" Freya to teach him the etiquette of eating Western cuisine on the spot.
Only to see the foodie goddess, when dining, using the fork and knife from the outside in, holding the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand;
When Freya cut the food, she held the fork with her left hand to hold the food steady, and used the knife in her right hand to cut it into small pieces, and then used the fork to send the food into her mouth;
When she used the knife, the blade did not face outward, and when she put down her knife and fork during the meal, she made sure they were placed in a "figure eight" shape.
Perhaps because of her love for food, Freya's etiquette seemed so proper;
Although she was the nominal goddess of love, she seemed more like a goddess of etiquette.
"Did you see that? Learn more from me!"
Freya's self-satisfied speed was extremely fast, and unfortunately for Wang Xiaole, he couldn't refute her this time;
He could only watch in silence as she poured a glass of red wine into her mouth, and he himself began to imitate based on his memory.
"Burp!"
Just as Wang Xiaole had just picked up the knife and fork and was about to perform the operation on the spot, a sudden burp disrupted the established procedure.
It wasn't someone else who made the embarrassing sound, but Freya, who had just been so confident and lively a moment ago.
Now, the goddess used her palm to cover her throat but couldn't stop the hiccup. Just when Liu Caihua couldn't help but worry about the guest's condition, an unexpected scene occurred.
Starting with Freya standing up next, this seemingly dizzy goddess, even when walking on flat ground, could create illusory steps and create phantom-like traces when her body turned.
"Hehehehe, comfortable, so comfortable!"
"Hey hey, are you okay? Why do you seem to have become so strange?"
Wang Xiaole asked with concern, but in the next moment, Freya's clear and bright eyes immediately turned towards him.
She looked at the worry on Wang Xiaole's face, and her gaze softened a bit. Soon after, she slightly parted her rosy lips and spoke warm words:
"Hahaha, the monkey can talk, the monkey wearing clothes can talk!"
After amusing herself, Freya started dancing in front of the two of them.
The maids were not in the living room, so there were no outsiders to witness her outrageous behavior.
Her eyes were unfocused, her head was shaking, and her face was unnaturally flushed...
Wang Xiaole furrowed his brows and vaguely guessed what was going on:
"Freya, are you drunk?"
"Woof (a sound resembling a dog's bark)! I'm not drunk, I can hold my liquor, I'm the goddess of wine!"
It can be concluded that Freya was quite drunk, completely immersed in alcohol.
"Since you claim to be able to hold your liquor, let me ask: what kind of alcohol do you usually drink? What's the alcohol content?"
"Hehe, I don't want to scare you, but I never drink mixed drinks. I only drink one kind of alcohol."
"What's the recipe for that kind of alcohol? I'm curious, tell me."
"I can tell you, even though my brewing method is a secret, but you are not human after all, just a talking monkey, so I can tell you."
Freya personally shared the most astonishing brewing method:
Brewing alcohol is like cooking, and the first step is:
Selecting good grains, washing them, and soaking them in clear spring water for eight to ten hours, then drain and set aside.
The second step:
Put the drained grains in a pot, steam them until they are 90% cooked, with the requirement that each grain should be firm on the outside and soft on the inside, like plump pearls.
The third step:
Put the processed grains into a clean cloth bag, place a wooden board and a heavy object on top, and squeeze out the liquid.
The fourth step:
Pour the squeezed liquid into a pot, and stop heating when the temperature reaches 85 degrees.
Finally:
Pour the filtered liquid into a clean jar, seal the jar with clean cowhide paper;
Completely seal the jar, and then place it in a suitable place. It can be opened and consumed after two months.
After envisioning the major steps in his mind, Wang Xiaole pondered for a while, and after a dozen seconds, he exclaimed, "Oh," finally understanding:
"Fermented grains, extracted juice, and the final result is... rice wine? You're amazing! Your alcohol tolerance is indeed impressive, it really startled me!"
