C2163 Mysterious European cuisine (1/2)
Who was Fang Guan? The Faculty Division specially trained it! The majority of the people believed that the Faculty Division only trained some high level prostitutes to specifically provide pleasure to the men. Even if they learnt something, it would be by singing or dancing, and they also had skills in the bed. (TL: OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG
Of course, these training sessions were all done, but it was not comprehensive. The customers the Faculty Division faced were all the elites of the empire, and were all considered the top officials in the empire.
These people did not lack women. If it was just to satisfy their lust for beasts, they could buy quite a number of girls from poor families with just a few dozen taels of silver.
Why did he need high grade goods from the Faculty Division? That was because the women here still had a lot of skills.
For example, it was very important to be proficient in all kinds of etiquette. She had to be able to organize a suitable banquet in a short amount of time, and she had to analyze the composition of the guests, their identities and habits, as well as their relationship with the old master.
According to a lot of information on the overall consideration, even arranging the food and drinks, there is an inexhaustible emphasis.
The women of Faculty Division still needed to read and write, and understand some basic accounting knowledge. In the future, if they wanted to obtain the favors of the Master and the First Madam in the inner chamber, they must make themselves more valuable.
Helping manage the household and finances is also a skill that must be mastered.
One of them was to help the Old Master and the First Lady sort out their connections. One must know that in the late Qing, people from the government were extremely responsible. The Eight Flag Organization existed in the Manchu, and the Han people had their own comrades, fellow countrymen, schoolmates, teachers, students, and relatives … And so on and so forth.
It was impossible for Master and Madam to remember everything by heart if they were to be engaged. Many of their distant relatives and friends that did not go out with them relied on Fang Guan and the well-trained ladies to maintain their relationship.
In short, it was not only the toys on the bed that Faculty Division had trained, but also the little stewards of the inner chamber!
Fang Guan was intelligent in the first place, he had also received all kinds of training in Beijing. When he came back, Xiao Letian even gave him money and authority to let her train freely.
At that moment, Fang Guan's aura was so strong that even the British Crown Prince had a whole new level of respect for him. Including the delicacies, Fang Guan was even more familiar with it than most Europeans.
This was all a result of spending countless amounts of time and money. It was all part of his wealth and ability!
When Fang Guan described each of the famous dishes in Europe, they seemed to taste something out of the blue. Even the Crown Prince was hungry because of Fang Guan's introduction, and whenever Fang Guan introduced a dish, he would taste it together with Xiao Letian.
Spanish ham, French truffles and foie gras, Nordic caviar, Atlantic deep-sea cod, English local bread crabs, Denmark oysters... One by one, the classic delicacies were delicious due to Fang Guan, and in the end, even Fang Guan was surrounded by European aristocracy.
Listening to a peerless beauty explain European cuisine, that scene was truly rare. Many of the ladies in the Europe saw Fang Guan snatch away their limelight, and they all became enraged.
But what's the use of getting angry? None of them dared to act rashly in front of the queen.
Very quickly, even Zai Chun and the others were attracted by Fang Guan. The dark mass of people surrounded her, and the banquet's consumption was the fastest.
Just as Fang Guan was explaining the different types of German sausages to the leader, the palace Attendant beside the Queen suddenly clapped. Everyone present knew that the Queen had something to say, so they quickly turned their heads to look at the Queen who was resting on the chair.
