Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Bai Wanwan's men took all her things into the post station in boxes.

The young ladies were stunned: "She's just a princess, why does she need such a big show?"

"That's right! These Da Qi people love to pretend. They can't even prepare dinner yet. They made us wait for so long in vain."

Then I heard the waiter say with a smile: "Ladies, dinner is ready, please follow me."

The Princess of Parthia snorted, put her hands on her hips and said:

“Let me be frank, we only eat Western food.

If we can't make it, we will just go back. I don't believe that your Great Qi Kingdom can't find a few chefs.

You, the Great Qi State, clearly look down on us."

The waiter smiled slightly and said, "We in the Great Qi Kingdom naturally dare not look down on other countries when entertaining distinguished guests."

He pushed open the carved nanmu door directly, and the silver-gilt candlesticks were lined up on both sides, lighting up the entire dining room as bright as day.

The table was covered with a snow-white linen tablecloth, and on the silver plate were grilled lamb chops, with rosemary and sage emitting a fresh fragrance.

A crystal bowl is filled with fresh fruit and vegetable salad, drizzled with olive oil and vinegar, and the colorful seasonal vegetables are bright and juicy.

French mille-feuille pastries are stacked on a tall porcelain plate and topped with glistening icing sugar.

The most eye-catching thing is the ice sculpture turntable in the center, where lobsters, oysters and other seafood are wrapped in crushed ice and displayed, dotted with lemon slices and vanilla leaves, and cold mist rises.

There is a cast iron oven in the corner, and the chef is slicing baguettes and putting them on a plate. The aroma of wheat mixed with the aroma of butter wafts into the air.

"This...how is this possible?" The Parthian princess snapped her enamel fan shut. "Fried steak requires precise heat, and French desserts require special molds. How did you prepare them in half a day?"

She stepped forward quickly and said, "These rosemary and thyme are clearly from my Parthia!"

Bai Wanwan walked in and said, "Sisters, you're here so early!"

Many girls from the Great Qi Kingdom also came out. This time, Jiang Shuying, Su Niantang, and Lin Zaozao all participated in the girls' competition.

So they were sent directly to the post station in order to establish good relationships with women from other countries.

Jiang Shuying smiled and said, "Today's dinner is actually Western food! This time we must try what Western food is like."

She looked at the Princess of Parthia and said, "Hello, I'm Jiang Shuying..."

The Princess of Parthia glanced at her calmly and said, "My name is Jane..."

After saying that, she sat down directly at the dining table. The table was filled with various Western-style tableware, but there was no Chinese tableware.

Jiang Shuying's face changed and she sat down.

Su Niantang frowned and asked, "Why are there no chopsticks?"

I heard the waiter next to me say: "This is Western food, so we don't have chopsticks, but if you need them, we can provide them for you."

Su Niantang nodded and said, "Okay, I want a pair of chopsticks."

The curly-haired girl in the lead laughed so hard she slammed the table. "She actually asked if there were chopsticks? I've never seen anyone use chopsticks for Western food!"

The girl next to him, wearing a coral hair tie, clutched her stomach and replied, "Of course! How do you cut steak with chopsticks? Do you have to pick up the meat and chew it?"

"You say you're from a noble family!" The girl with brightly painted rouge curled her lips. "You don't even know how to use a knife and fork. I'm afraid you're not even as good as a peasant girl from our Parthia Kingdom."

Several companions were winking at each other and whispering to each other, with bursts of laughter coming one after another.

Su Niantang stood there clutching the hem of her skirt, her little face flushed red.

The guests around were pointing and talking, some were shaking their heads and sighing, and some were covering their mouths and laughing.

There were even whispers in the corner: "After all, he comes from a humble family and has never seen the world."

Su Niantang looked at the other noble ladies, but they all ignored her. Even Lin Zaozao, who was usually on good terms with her, lowered her head and said nothing.

Bai Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

“As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Who says you can’t use chopsticks when eating Western food?

Who made this rule? Using a knife and fork for Western food is inherently inconvenient.

Besides, the steaks here are already cut, so what do you need a knife and fork for? "

After Bai Wanwan finished speaking, she saw the already cut steaks being brought up.

Jane sneered and said, "She's just a 5-year-old girl, what does she know about Western dining etiquette?"

Bai Wanwan took out a silver spoon and gently stirred the borscht. Her eyes swept over the crooked knife of the Parthian Princess and said:

“I once heard Taifu say that the true etiquette of dining is to pay attention to even the angle of the knife and fork.

Placing the knife and fork casually on the edge of the plate like the princess does is a unique and carefree style."

Bai Wanwan walked to her seat and waited for the maid to gently move the chair forward half a foot before she sat down with her knees slightly bent.

She took the napkin handed to her, shook it out, and spread it flat on her legs, her movements as gentle as if she were arranging silk.

Soon, a sizzling steak was served.

Bai Wanwan held the fork firmly in her left hand, gently pressing down on the steak on the plate, picked up the knife with her right hand, and started cutting it slowly from the edge, small bites at a time.

The diced meat was of uniform size. When she put it into her mouth, she closed her mouth and chewed it carefully without making any sound.

When drinking borscht, she used a spoon to gently scoop it from the inside out, and tilted it slightly when it was almost to her mouth, allowing the soup to flow smoothly into her mouth.

After taking a bite, she gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin.

The princess of Parthia next to her sneered at first, but as she watched, her expression changed.

She and her companions looked at each other, not knowing how to hold the knives and forks in their hands.

Even the knowledgeable Lord An couldn't help but nod slightly.

In the entire dining room, the only sound that could be heard was the occasional slight noise made by Bai Wanwan while she was eating. In comparison, the movements of others seemed a bit clumsy.

The curly-haired girl's eyes widened, her fork suspended in mid-air, forgetting how to move. "How can she be a five-year-old? She cuts steak more skillfully than the etiquette nanny in my palace!"

The girl in red sitting next to me bit her lip and murmured:

"The way you hold the knife and fork, the angle at which you drink soup...

I've been learning it for three months and still stumble, but how come it's like it's ingrained in her?"

In the corner, several noble young men were whispering to each other. One of them stroked his chin and exclaimed:

"Look at the way she wipes the corners of her lips; even the folds of the handkerchief are perfectly aligned.

This must be the level of at least ten years of palace education!

Bai Wanwan put down her knife and fork and elegantly pressed the corner of her mouth with her napkin: "Everyone is staring at me all the time. The steak is getting cold."

She raised her hand to signal the waiter to add more dishes, and her silver bracelet jingled like a ring:

"This is just an appetizer; there will be baked lobster and soufflé later.

I dare not boast about anything else about the Great Qi State, but when it comes to hospitality, we will surely make you all feel at home.”

Jane chuckled and said, "You are quite interesting, little girl. I just wonder if you can understand the Sabbath language?"
