Chapter 342 [Sheffield Manor IV]
After assigning the rooms, Belsinger brought several women in the family and the servants with luggage behind him to the master bedroom. The furniture in the master bedroom is extremely luxurious and has a long history, but in order to rent out the manor, the Marquis family has cleaned the entire master bedroom.
After changing the new sheets and quilts, you can move in completely. It is much more comfortable and cleaner than those hotels. Belsinger doesn't have to worry about opening the heavy solid wood wardrobe and putting clothes in. There are several women in the family who can do this task.
After arranging the work of several women, Belsinger followed the old butler back and forth for an hour and a half. Finally, he had a clear view of the castle of the Marquis of Sheffield, especially the rich wines in the wine cellar, which made Belsinger feel drooling.
A century-old noble family is a century-old noble family. The famous wines collected are produced from all over the world, and they are all products of well-known wineries. And the variety is extremely rich. In addition to the red wines produced by the major wineries with spider webs hanging on them, there are also brandy, champagne, sweet wine, whiskey, and even strong liquors such as vodka and tequila.
Each bottle of wine collection will never be less than 50 years old. Although these wines can be drunk by guests at will without limit, the accommodation fee of 100,000 pounds is for one week. But how much wine can a person drink in a week? It seems that the price paid is not low. The ability of the Marquis family to make money is not low. Even if Bellsinger is so big, he can only drink two bottles in one meal. The wine produced by Lafite Winery is only thousands of pounds no matter how high its value is. How can 100,000 pounds buy thousands of bottles of such fine wine?
After running inside and outside for more than an hour, Bellsinger was also exhausted and sweating, sitting on the luxurious sofa in the central living room. Tasting the unique coffee inherited by the Marquis family for hundreds of years, from time to time, admire the portraits of people hanging on the wall of the Marquis family castle.
This is a habit of Europeans, who are used to hanging portraits of their ancestors in the most prominent position at home, indicating that the family has a long history of inheritance. After a while, Lina came down from upstairs. Although she was pot-bellied, her movements were very agile. Seeing Belsinger sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, she was smiling and greeted him. She sat beside Belsinger and took his big hand and said with a smile.
"Husband, what are you going to eat for dinner?"
Lina didn't mention this. Belsinger even forgot the time. Seeing that it was getting dark outside. There was not much time left for dinner. At this time, she smiled and straightened up and patted a copper bell on the coffee table.
The decibel of the bell was very small, but it was very clear in the empty castle. After two ding-ding-ding sounds, Raphael, the old butler of the Marquis family. Like a ghost, he floated to his side from somewhere and bowed and asked.
"Mr. Singh, do you have any instructions?"
This old guy is more capable than his own housekeeper Jamal, but it's a pity that such an excellent British housekeeper will never be responsible for an Indian like him. No matter how much money he pays, the other party will ignore him. He has served the nobles for generations. How could he serve an upstart from India like you?
Being outstanding is one thing, but not being able to recruit is another. Although Bel Singh admires the ability of the housekeeper Raphael, he doesn't bother with him too much and just asks with a smile. "Mr. Raphael, it's getting late. Should the kitchen prepare dinner? What kind of dishes should be prepared? Can you introduce them to our guests?"
Butler Raphael smiled and bowed and replied, "Yes, Mr. Singh, the kitchen has started preparing dinner. The dinner menu is served according to the way the Marquis family entertains guests. There are 12 dishes in total."
The banquet that the Marquis family will bring out to entertain guests must be extraordinary, otherwise it would not reflect the status of the Marquis family. It was even more impossible to let his huge sum of 100,000 pounds go to waste, so the level of each meal was extremely high. Belsinger was also very curious about what the Marquis family should eat to entertain the guests, so he asked with a smile.
"What are they?"
"The first dish was invented by the second generation Marquis 80 years ago. It is called Sheffield Roasted Deer Ribs. The raw material is the deer ribs of 12-month-old sika deer. After being marinated with various spices and roasted, it has a strong aroma and is delicious and juicy. It is a rare famous dish."
This dish is good. When Belsinger heard the introduction of this dish, his saliva almost flowed down. Sika deer is originally the leader among deer animals. The meat is delicious and tender. Although it is not big, it has the greatest nourishing and medicinal value. Moreover, the sika deer is full of treasures, including antlers, deer blood, and meat on the deer, which are all rare treasures.
Butler Raphael saw Belsinger nodded with satisfaction when he heard the first dish, and said very proudly. "The second dish is called Lemon Sea Bass, a small sea bass produced in the creek behind the mountain. After being marinated with various spices, adding lemon juice, and then wrapped in tin foil and grilled, the meat is delicious and fragrant, especially appetizing."
"The third dish was invented by the Marquise 70 years ago. It is said to be inspired by Chinese cuisine. It is called Cherry Sauce Braised Pork. The meat is taken from the best pork belly and then cut into pieces and marinated, and then braised with the Marquise family's secret cherry sauce. The taste is sweet and most popular among female diners, and the meat is tender and tender, and it won't make you fat."
The braised pork and cherry juice are paired together. It is a very good dish that is sweet and sour and can relieve greasiness. The fat on the pork belly is completely broken down. It will not make you fat and is particularly fragrant. This dish is very suitable for women who are losing weight. It seems that the Marquis family has put a lot of effort into this VIP banquet. These dishes are very good and meet their own wishes.
Because Plymouth is close to the sea and is a port city, seafood is of course indispensable. Three of the 12 dishes are seafood dishes. Three dishes are made with meat as the raw material, and the other two dishes are parts of sika deer and aquatic products.
One of the vegetable soups, which is mainly vegetable, is a long-lasting delicacy of the Marquis family for hundreds of years. It is almost a vegetable soup that the masters of the Marquis family must drink every day. There are all kinds of fresh vegetables and asparagus in it. After one and a half hours of stewing, it is particularly fragrant and appetizing.
Butler Raphael is outstanding. He reported the name of each dish, including the raw materials, production methods, and taste of the dish. All the details were explained in a simple and clear way, which made the guests intoxicated. Since they had such a good banquet, they could not miss the wine pairing.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Originally, Butler Raphael planned to find Belsinger 15 minutes before the meal and ask what kind of wine Mr. Singer and his family wanted to drink. Go to the wine cellar to choose it in person, but now he saw Belsinger asking in advance.
"Mr. Singer, I believe you are also very satisfied with the 12 dishes for dinner, but I don't know what kind of wine you are used to drinking for dinner? The wine in the wine cellar can be used by the Singer family at will."
