[1166 Family Banquet of King George I of Greece]
The cute CEO glanced at Zhao Qingluo, suddenly remembered something, and smiled and said, "Zhao Qingluo, should you go with me too? Isn't Zhao Qingluo's personal secretary to Katrina Kaifu?"
Princess Katrina Kaifu also looked at Zhao Qingluo. When Zhao Qingluo heard the emperor suddenly call her name, her pink face turned red with shame.
In fact, Zhao Qingluo's identity with Emperor Hua is indeed a bit embarrassing. Zhao Qingluo had already become the second-in-command of the Chinese government, but now suddenly there is nothing. She is just an ordinary secretary of the president's secretariat, and no one can let her do anything. Princess Katrina Kaifu has not arranged for Zhao Qingluo to do anything during this period. Zhao Qingluo followed like a maid.
This will naturally make Emperor Hua feel a little unbearable.
"Then you go with it." Princess Katrina Kaifu said to Zhao Qingluo. Originally, Princess Katrina Kaifu did not arrange for Zhao Qingluo to be her personal secretary. Now that His Majesty has already said it, it is naturally equivalent to arranging an errand for Zhao Qingluo.
"Okay." Zhao Qingluo said calmly.
Although he was just an ordinary secretary at the President's Secretariat, Zhao Qingluo also acted neither humble nor arrogant, neither proud, put down her airs of being the director of the State Council, nor was she inferior, and did not feel that she was taken down because of a mistake. She kept her normal mind.
Catherine was happy and secretly held hands with Zhao Qingluo, and Zhao Qingluo retracted her hand.
Catherine chuckled softly, "Dear, your opportunity has come. In the future, you should talk to His Majesty more, do you know?"
"Don't talk to me, I'm working." Zhao Qingluo blushed and said softly to Catherine.
Catherine covered her mouth and snorted, "It seems that anyone is not working. I am now your majesty's female official, and we are colleagues."
The Emperor led the group and arrived at the palace of the Greek Kingdom, which was the center of Athens.
Before the arrival of Emperor Hua, George I was winding the bell.
George I remembered that he had once joked with Yan Shoushishi's bald watchmaker, saying, "I have been winding myself up for a lifetime to wind up the clock." He smiled.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Hua has entered the palace with his queen and several personal female officials." Kumonduros said
George I put on a fur coat and walked up the steps, "Okay, I'll go and greet you right away. I informed the queen and prince, princesses?"
"Everything is ready," Kumonduros said.
George I had many children and married the eldest daughter of Olga Constantinovna of Russia in St. Petersburg on October 27, 1867.
The eldest daughter of Olga Konstantinovna is the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich of Russia and his wife Alexandra of Saxony Altenburg, and the granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I.
George and Olga have five sons and three daughters: the eldest son Constantine I, the second son Prince George, and the eldest daughter Alexandra George Yevna.
George Yevna is the same age as Emperor Hua, half a year younger than Emperor Hua, and is also nine years old this year.
Emperor Hua met George I, the 36-year-old King of the Greek Kingdom. This was a gentle middle-aged man, or the junction between young people and middle-aged people.
"Hello, Your Majesty," Emperor Hua took the lead in greeting him generously.
George I and the Queen stood at the gate to greet each other, beside their two sons and daughters.
Before meeting Emperor Hua, George I thought about whether to say hello first. The other party was just a nine-year-old "child". He thought it was a bit funny.
However, Emperor Hua's status was much higher than that of him, which he knew, because the country was established by Emperor Hua, and unlike him, it was invited by the parliament and could be invited out at any time. However, Emperor Hua's age made it difficult for him to remain respectful.
Now that Emperor Hua took the lead in saying hello, George I was relieved, and he also let go of his little thoughts, and smiled: "Dignified guest, the great monarch from the East, I have heard many stories about His Majesty."
The cute president smiled slightly. George I spoke English, and what he just spoke English. Emperor Hua’s fluent English was basically not needed to come to Europe. "Thank you for your warm hospitality."
"Welcome, please sit down." George I made a gesture of invitation.
On the long table, there was plenty of food, which was not as good as the state banquet in China, but it was also good.
A set of Western cuisine usually includes appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Each dish is served separately.
Depending on the situation, there will be coffee or wine after meals.
Four dishes, both fruits and vegetables, fish and meat, carefully blended and has a great taste.
The emperor Hua was very kind and Princess Katrina Kaf, Princess Katlina Kaf, Zhao Qingluo, and Catherine sat down and introduced her partner to George I. "This is my queen, these three are my female officials. She is not only my female officials, but also my fiancée, and at the same time, she is the secretary-general of my secretariat."
Emperor Hua focused on Princess Katrina Kaif.
Princess Katrina Kaif greeted George I and the Queen politely.
George I was surprised that Emperor Hua’s words and behaviors were really like the legend. He was not a nine-year-old child, he knew everything!
George I's queen, two sons, and the eldest daughter were also curious about Emperor Hua, especially George Yevna, the eldest daughter of the same year as Emperor Hua, who was even more surprised. Emperor Hua not only spoke fluent English, but also generous, but she was so reserved that she didn't know where to put her hands.
This is the first time George Yevna has attended such an important occasion.
"You're welcome, please treat this place as if you go home." George I enthusiastically introduced his family to Emperor Hua and introduced Kumonduros.
"Hello, your majesty." Kumonduros bowed politely.
The cute CEO smiled: "Hello."
The appetizer is fish and shrimp jelly with mung bean paste. The ingredients used in this dish are fish and shrimp.
The cooking method is a commonly used method in traditional French Western cuisine. It is meat jelly. When making it, roll up the ingredients and tie them tightly.
It uses wild game or foie gras, which also contains a lot of fat.
The master changed the ingredients to fish and shrimp.
This is a cold dish, eaten at room temperature, without heating.
When served, slice it for guests to enjoy.
Cut a small mouthful and put it in your mouth to feel the softness that melts in your mouth, which is glutinous but not greasy. It is the best choice for appetizers with high-quality wine.
This dish is also served with mung bean paste.
The mung bean paste is made by breaking watercress (also known as watercress) and is very refreshing and neutralizing the greasiness in the mouth.
Hua Huang took a bite elegantly and nodded, "It's very delicious."
The Greek queen said happily: "Thank you for your love, this is what I asked them to arrange. I don't know what your Majesty tastes."
"My Majesty, I like it very much." The cute CEO smiled.
As Emperor Hua talked and laughed, the atmosphere became relaxed.
Although Emperor Hua did not look down on the "brief" countries like the Greek Kingdom, it seemed that the Greek Kingdom had not come to the forefront in history, but he was still very happy when he was warmly entertained.
Emperor Hua took a sip of the Pope's soup.
Although it is a soup, it can be seen whether a chef is good or not in Western food.
The nutritional essence is all in the soup, and usually it takes a long time to boil and remove fat.
The most important thing about this soup base is fresh and clear.
When served, they will be served with vegetables or eggs, as well as some meat.
The main dish is phori steak and morel mushrooms with Madeira sauce, zucchini assorted vegetables with pastry baked potatoes (side dish). It is the piece of meat at the end of the tenderloin. It is usually thick and round. It can be cooked from three to five minutes according to personal taste, and it is extremely tender.
When serving, you should use the makeira sauce, which is specially prepared for meat.
This time, the dish also used morel mushrooms, which was named after the appearance resembled a lamb belly.
The vegetables were chosen by the Dutch's favorite zucchini, and then hollowed out and put other fruits and vegetables.
The other is baked potatoes with pastry. This dish is made by slicing the potatoes and baking them with cheese. The skin is crispy.
Although Hua Huang was not interested in Western food, he still ate it with relish because Hua Huang was a little hungry, and Hua Huang was not an artificial person.
The Emperor Hua appreciated the food they prepared with the greatest respect for George I and the Queen, which made George I and the Queen very happy.
