Chapter 301 The Youth Who Pursues Luxury

"Keti, what do you want to eat?"
Roland, who was wearing a red and black dress, dragged Keti and walked in the restaurant, looking at the counters a little, looking at the dishes that were just out of the oven, some of which were still steaming. The restaurants in Chengzhai College are not as wide-ranging as those in the central campus, but tend to be aristocratic cuisines, with a slightly smaller overall portion and a refined route.
"Is that ok?" Keti raised her finger and pointed to a dish that was pale yellow like a boat.
Is it a pineapple boat fruit salad? Loren looked at the big pineapple cut from the middle. It was placed in the middle of the plate like a boat. The inside was filled with small pieces of strawberries, lychees, bananas, and mangosteen, which were extremely colorful. I really don't know where they got so many fruits of different seasons, maybe there is some kind of extraordinary preservation method.
"Yes, but you have to eat the main food and add some meat to balance it." Eating fruit alone is not enough, the girl thought to herself.
Taking a small turn in the restaurant, Lorraine Hill ordered a beef sausage pizza as the main course, two people eat, the other is the pineapple boat fruit salad ordered by Keti, and the pan-fried rosemary lamb chops she ordered. .
Lorraine Hill and Keti brought pizza and pineapple boats to the tables at the edge of the restaurant. The tables and chairs against the wall of the restaurant are where students eat. They are separated by low wooden platforms. There is a table with 4-6 chairs.
The two ate some fruit first, and Roland asked Keti to sit here temporarily, and then he went to serve the remaining lamb chops. Because the lamb chops are freshly made, it will take a while, and it should be almost done at this time.
The mutton on the iron plate is sizzling, and the roasted olive oil is added with rosemary particles and a small amount of salt and pepper, and the lamb chops emit bursts of tempting aroma as they cook. After seeing Lorraine coming back, the waiter took out a clean china plate and put it aside, then picked up the lamb chops and put them on the plate, and then put some prepared vegetables on it, and the pan-fried rosemary lamb chops were ready. .
When Roland Hill picked up the plate and was about to go back, he found a stranger at his table. He simply said hello to Keti and sat down directly.
Seeing this scene, Roland Hill couldn't help speeding up his pace. Fortunately, his perception was sharp, and he could hear what the other party said, so he wasn't too worried.
"This beautiful lady, next to me is Dana Oston, a third-year student at Walled College. It's a pleasure to meet you." When he said the syllable of Oston, he raised his eyebrows and seemed to have something unique. Accent and flavor.
Seeing that Keti was a little nervous and restrained, the young man in black and red did not stop his chatter.
"You might be a little surprised by my presence, but in fact it wasn't an accident."
"I come to this restaurant every Wednesday afternoon, because it sells crystal shrimp from North Cold Mirror Lake. I have a certain kind of picky about food, and the dishes made with this ingredient are among the few recipes that I approve of.. …”
Immediately afterwards, the young man talked about the scene of his trip to the southern part of the empire in the autumn, describing how huge the cruise ship at that time was, a giant steel ship that people had never seen before. When he said these words, he also revealed his walking stick and pocket watch "inadvertently", and "occasionally" mentioned how fine the workmanship is, and the craftsmen are inherited from famous families with a long history.
Keti nodded as he listened, which made Dana more and more excited as he spoke, as if this beautiful lady in front of him was his number one fan, and he would take him into a new and beautiful world.
"Hello." Lorraine came over with the lamb chops. She saw that Keti was very serious when she heard it, so she couldn't interrupt it suddenly. Instead, she came over at the right time after he finished speaking and put the plate on her own. He was in front of Keti, and then said to the eloquent young man.
"I'm sorry, because I'm not familiar with each other, can you please leave for a while? My partner and I are going to have dinner now, and there are still many vacant tables in the restaurant. You can sit at a table by yourself."
Generally speaking, Roland Hill would not speak so directly, but this young man is obviously not the kind of thin-skinned person. If he does not speak directly, I am afraid that he will really rely on him.
"Hello, O~ How beautiful, like a rose under the bright moon."
"I'm Dana Oston, it's a pleasure to meet you. I happen to be a student of the City Wall College. I'm also studying the Demon Sequence. Although it's not top-notch, I have my own understanding. If you have time, If so, we can communicate more.”
Looking at Loren Hill, whose face was beautiful and indifferent to him, the young man first sighed at his beauty, and then thought about getting closer and talking eloquently.
Roland Hill didn't answer the call immediately, but first picked up a piece of lamb chops and put it on Keti's plate, and then told her to only eat meat, not bones or anything.
Then he raised his head and looked at the young man carefully.
Dana Auston is not handsome, he can only be said to be above average, but his clothes and decorations are obviously well-kept, looking neat and fit. It seems that this is nothing but imitation and worship.
Those extravagant experiences may be of great attraction to ordinary girls who are not deeply involved in the world, but they do not have much effect on her. She has been the eldest lady of the Chamber of Commerce herself for half a year and has seen a lot of good things, but probably only the merchants know how much water there is.
Just like the Cointreau that the Nissos family once sold to the Green Empire, it is depicted as an amber crystal liquid, claiming that a bottle is more expensive than an equal volume of gold. But the Karites family, who cooperated with the Nissos family, naturally knew that these were just brewed from the oranges harvested in the past, and the work and craftsmen were used for publicity.
Mom works.
Even if the production is finer, and a few more filters are much clearer, the actual cost plus transportation loss is only a few silver coins at most, but after selling it to the Green Empire, I dare to list a bottle of 2-3 extraordinary gold coins and earn hundreds of times. The profit of the business is nothing more than this.
After seeing this kind of thing clearly, Roland Hill no longer has a cold for the so-called noble elegance. Although he also likes delicate and beautiful things, he will not sanctify them too much.
Furthermore, during the time she was friends with Frocia, she seldom heard her friend mention the activities among the nobles. One time, she asked Frocia a little curiously, Frocia is like this answered.
"What does Rochelle think aristocratic life is like? Although outsiders envy the luxury, but in fact it is only enjoyed by most of the nobles in the periphery. The nobles who are really in power are always fighting each other, and some of them want to be more on the road to power. Further, some want to obtain rare resources, some want to improve the family's title, and some want to have more benefits."
"The more the center of the whirlpool of interests, the more intense the struggle. When the interests and rights are huge to a certain extent, even family affection will not be too strong."
"So, the happiest people in life are the last sons of the big noble families. They have parents who love them and don't have to take too many responsibilities. Also, because they are young, there is no threat to the inheritance rights, and the older brothers and sisters will not be too specific to them."
Putting away the memories in his mind for the time being, Loren Hill said to this Dana Oston again.
"Excuse me, can you please leave for a while? My companions and I are going to have dinner here, and I'm not used to being watched by strangers all the time."
"This beautiful lady, you may have misunderstood me. I'm only here because of your companion..." Dana was about to start speaking again. He felt that Keti had listened so seriously just now, and he must have liked it. What I described, as long as I moved her companions out, this beautiful girl later would be embarrassed to drive her away. After all, girls are reserved.
"I don't know you. If Lorraine asks you to go, why don't you obey? Are you a bad guy?" Keti's voice sounded.
Keti only listened to the words of a few witches, because these people have the same kind of breath, and for strangers, she only sees a simple distinction between good people and bad people. If Dana doesn't listen to Lorraine, it must be a bad person.
Chris confessed that she wanted to protect Lorraine and not let the bad guys approach her. If any bad guys attacked her, she would burn them with fire.
With simple logic, Keti began to be vigilant against this 'bad guy' Mr. With the surge of magic power, there was also a trace of fire in his pupils. Dana, who was stared at, felt that his soul was silently boiling and burning, not yet. In the Advanced Sequence 5, he did not have the strengthening and fusion of the extraordinary core, and his soul was not strong, but at this moment, there was a burning pain like burning fire. by the table.
