Harry Potter’s Morning Light
Chapter 1351: Proud soldier
Chapter 1351
There is a well-known dish in the UK called Wellington steak. It is a good filet steak, fried on a high fire and colored, covered with a layer of mushroom purée with foie gras, and then covered with a layer of ham. Wrap in meringue and brush with egg yolk, then bake in the oven.
This dish is included in the Hogwarts banquet menu. The preparatory work is very cumbersome before roasting, but after eating it, you will feel that the long wait is worthwhile.
However, this dish is actually a French dish. It is named Steak Wellington because it commemorates the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo.
Napoleon would say famous words, and Wellington would also say: I have devoted my life to guessing the situation on the other side of the mountain.
Now Georgianna feels like she is a female spy who has mixed into the "over the mountain". When she is curiously looking at the people around her, they are also looking at her.
These people were engaged in various occupations before the Revolution, such as writers and waiters, but now they all become generals with epaulettes.
Soldiers value decency. Every time Napoleon goes to public, she is alone. She used to think he was aloof, but now she understands. His height can barely reach the average level, Josephine is much taller than him, and men are shorter than women, even if the person concerned does not care, others will have their own opinions. A woman with a petite figure will make her male partner taller, and even a short man like Napoleon will appear taller with the foil of "small" Georgiana.
Draco Malfoy looks like a girl, and needs Astonia who is weaker than he looks. Mrs. Recamille should be very feminine. Her white dress is worn in Georgian. Her body made her more delicate, even if Napoleon was very soft, he would not associate him with a "woman".
This is a characteristic of the guests she observed this time. They all shaved. Even if it wasn't like Napoleon had shaved the whole face and left some sideburns, it was shaved. On the contrary, the beard would be very conspicuous.
Before they entered the arena, the generals originally circled Mr. Martin. Those who were hungry until the rats ate all knew the importance of supplies. Even if there was a heavy camp, the large private caravan still needed it. As soon as Napoleon appeared. , These generals who surrounded Mr. Martin's sweet words began to talk about the first ruling.
Seeing the faces of these “famous generals”, Georgiana knew how naive it was to ask for a copy of "The Girl with a Pearl Earring". How could such a good chance of slacking on the horse be fooled with fakes?
Napoleone likes art, and Giorgioanna seems to like it too. They eagerly asked her which painting she still likes. It was quite a posture that they tried to get her back when she said it.
There are some famous paintings that the people in the occupied areas are sentimental. They would rather give millions of francs than let the French take them away. Bonaparte said that millions of cash will soon be spent, and "masterpieces" can be exhibited in Paris for hundreds of years. , And will lead to other masterpieces.
Last time he almost brought back the sculpture of the Virgin and Child from Rome. She also liked "The Woman Holding the Silver Rat". She said that these French people would rob it from Florence. If she said which painter she liked, Do they have to kidnap artists from Italy just like they did with the Pope’s Secretary of State?
They did not go to the salon to eat. The French Revolution caused many artists to exile to Italy, which caused the loss of talents in the art field in France. Anyway, the artist who sculpted Giorgioanna, Napoleone, did not intend to pay.
The artist would have had a hard life before becoming famous. She overflowed with sympathy and gave the poor artist a little compensation. Who said she was cold-blooded?
She is still angry, and her smile is cold. The style of the army is not like a literati. The buffet is self-service, and you can talk while eating. There are several tables in the venue, which is a bit like a restaurant. After Bonaparte is seated, the rest of the people sit down, and then Dylock will start his life. People are served.
Previously, when she entertained guests from foreign countries, there was only French fish soup on the table, and it was enough to treat the guests. This time, the dishes placed in front of Georgian are mainly British dishes, but the "Wellington steak" is not seen. Only the main dish is the Mediterranean fish that Napoleon loves.
Presenting Polioni in front of his own people did not deliberately pretend to be aristocratic. He still gobbled up delicious food. Giorgioanna would not care about him, just remind him not to splash the soup on the white clothes.
What really makes her feel uncomfortable is the look in the eyes of the generals. They seem to be observing how she wants to eat.
Ms. represents civilization. They must have table manners, but she is stared at by so many horrible eyes that it is a strange thing to eat.
"Aren't you hungry?" She was a little annoyed and said, "If you don't plan to eat, I will share these dishes with the poor. They must be hungry."
Those war criminals began to whisper, staring at her without so many eyes and feeling a lot better, she was so angry that she began to break down the marine fish on the plate.
Napoleone looked at her for a while, and then reached out to help her adjust the pink dahlia in her hair.
"Be careful not to stain your uniforms with the soup." Napolioni said loudly after putting down his hands, "Eat."
Following his order, these generals also ate the food on the table like a storm. Their eating appearance was similar to that of teenagers, which she had long been used to.
Napolioni has no habit of eating and chatting. There is only the sound of tableware colliding and chewing on the table. She inexplicably feels like being in a pigsty.
"How about calling the cook up?" She whispered to Napolioni, "Seeing them so good, I think he will feel very fulfilled."
"How about preparing for you next time?" He said with a smile.
"No problem... Is this enough?"
"She asked me to ask you, is the food prepared enough?" Napolioni said loudly.
"Enough!" the generals said in unison.
Eat with superiors, who will really be full?
She cast a glance at Napoleone’s triumphant smile and decided to ignore him. From the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of Mr. Martin looking at her with a smile, looking like an old fox.
"I don't want to drink champagne." She said to Napolioni, "I want to drink orange juice."
Napolioni immediately called Dyloc over and asked him to make orange juice in this non-orange season.
"How about letting Bonafo go to Spain to transport grain?" she said again.
"Aren't you afraid that Brother Marais feels unfair?"
The Mare brothers are the heads of the General Administration of Military Grain. Bonafo’s business of transporting grain from Italy and Poland has been robbed by transport companies that are backed by them.
"Why don't the army feel unfair to civilians when they rob private people." She said coldly.
Napolioni remained unmoved.
"You promised me~" She endured her nausea, clutching the arm of a man who could be her son and acting like a baby.
Now he was happy and laughed loudly, and the generals began to talk about the various problems of the General Bureau of Arms.
For example, the head of the General Administration of Arms almost ignored the combat troops. Massena's face was gloomy. He did not intend to surrender around Genoa, but his subordinate Colonel Reye managed to break through the blockade of British warships, but only brought back a bunch of coins for him to send Military pay.
Massena, who values honor, finally agreed to surrender when his ammunition and food were exhausted. He believed in Christianity and would not allow cannibalism. In the end, 8,000 half-starved French soldiers lined up under the banner of the battle team. Xing left the Austrian position.
He had already retired and lived with his wife and three children in Luel, but his relationship was not broken. Napoleon led an army from Piedmont to behind the Austrians, but the news broke off at that time and Massena did not know, otherwise the Austrians would not let him surrender so easily.
He took off his military uniform and can wear it at any time. After the canal groundbreaking ceremony, he naturally accepted the task of controlling Paris.
After complaining about the rations, the generals began to invite Napoleon to hunt together.
Can the prey be eaten by the poor? They justly make excuses for their entertainment.
Woodland is often next to farmland, and their horses don’t know if they will trample to death the seedlings that farmers have just planted.
Georgiana has no comments on this.
At this time, she advised him not to give Napoleone a dignity. His anger was small, and the loss of prestige was the big deal.
The advantage of the monarchy is an idea of the emperor. The courtiers must do everything possible to complete it. After they finished their dinner, Dillock brought the orange juice.
Napolioni held her and chatted with these generals while drinking orange juice. Later, she found out that she was really not interested in the topic they were talking about, and then let her leave.
Only then did Mr. Martin approach him.
"You have to be careful of those Jews." Mr. Martin whispered to Georgiana, "The Lorraine area may be in chaos."
"what happened again?"
"The Jews are lending usury over there, and the loan amount is insufficient. Don't let them participate in the farming loan this time."
Georgiana sighed and took a sip of orange juice. She suddenly felt that pumpkin juice was actually better.
