Chapter 4949. Family Dinner

The sumptuous dinner has been prepared and is about to begin.

Lovey sat at the head seat at the long table in the restaurant, with Evelyn and Lodel on his left and right.

As the current lord of the territory, even if my grandmother, Duke Dafen, came in person, she had to sit at the lower seat according to the clan rules.

Evelin naturally had no objection to this.

After that, the ranking was Xiqi and Mosuofei. One was a distinguished guest, and the other was the housekeeper, both of whom had high status.

Next came the scholar Bruno and the head maid Triss.

Both of them are old. Bruno is over 90 years old, with a head full of white hair. He has entered his twilight years. When he was young, he was Evelyn's teacher and followed her to the territory. He is responsible for assisting the lord in handling various matters in East Port City.

Without him, Lowe would not be able to patrol around with peace of mind. He even dared not go out.

It is worth mentioning that Bruno has immortal blood and is expected to live to over 120 years old, so he doesn't have to worry about dying of old age for the time being.

Head maid Triss is an avid supporter of Evelyn. She looks to be in her forties, but is actually sixty-seven. She was Evelyn's head maid during the Duke Dafen era. She has always insisted on staying in a fixed position. She refuses to be promoted or change positions.

She possesses the strength of a Limit Breaker, which slows down the aging of her appearance and her life span by twenty years.

Finally, there was Misha and Zoe who came to eat for free.

There were nine people in total sitting at the long table.

Enjoy red wine, steaks, white bread and various dishes.

As for Lanlan, the cook Am, the servants and the guards on duty were no longer at this table.

Simple division of status reflects class.

Lovi actually felt a little disgusted, but thanks to this, he didn't want to break this unspoken rule.

If no one paid attention to him, there would be no need to do anything in the future. Lovi lowered his head and cut the steak with a silver knife.

It was already dark outside. He snapped his fingers and lit the oil lamps on the copper racks on both sides.

The flickering flame of the oil lamp exudes a faint aroma of fat.

There is actually a magic lamp right above the restaurant, which provides brighter light, but it consumes magic stones and costs more.

So save some.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was very quiet and no one was talking.

It is a rule not to talk while eating. Unless something is more important than eating, people will not discuss it at the table.

On the first day the lord returned, he opened a barrel of red wine as an exception.

Lodel drank cup after cup, her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes in satisfaction.

Lovey glanced at his mother and found that she was also looking at him.

"When are you going to marry Lodel?" Evelyn sent out a mental wave.

"After her coming-of-age ceremony," Lowe responded.

"That's the end of this year?"

"Yes."

Laudel and Lovi were born in the same year. Lovi was born on February 17, 1768 in the original calendar, and Laudel was born on December 22 of the same year.

Mainland customs and regulations.

The coming-of-age ceremony is usually held on the twentieth birthday of the lunar age.

After that, they were both only 19 or 20 years old. It felt a bit hasty to get married.

Lovey wanted to play for another two or three years, but Lodel would never agree.

She had waited too long for this day.

The topic of marriage is on people's lips from time to time.

It is a common phenomenon in the world that people can get married after the age of 15, but only the nobility advocates late marriage.

Luo Wei was not used to using the knife and fork, so he notified Lan Lan to bring him chopsticks through his mind.

Ignoring the surprised looks of people around him, he flexibly used chopsticks to pick up food and eat.

Anyway, the clan rules don't stipulate that the lord must use a knife and fork to eat, and it's impossible for anyone present to have a higher status than him to impose regulations on him.

However, it is inevitable that some people will think that the lord has lost his dignity.

But it doesn't matter! Sooner or later, what he does will be regarded as a principle.

Lovi filled his stomach, took a napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth, said "please enjoy your meal", and then left the restaurant alone.

It's about seven o'clock in the evening.

Lovey didn't want to go to bed so early, so he went upstairs to the study on the fifth floor.

Light an oil lamp.

I picked up a bamboo board and a carving pen and started working.

Lowe carved and painted the pattern of a distiller on the bamboo surface.

It is probably a sealed iron kettle, connected to a pipe, and a wooden barrel to receive condensed water vapor.

There is no simpler invention than this.

Lowe looked at his masterpiece on the bamboo board with pride, thinking about the omissions.

Suddenly I thought of a more troublesome point.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When boiling water in an iron kettle, will the heavy metal content exceed the standard due to poor material quality? This is a bit of an unfounded worry, but it is not entirely insignificant.

For the health of himself and his family, he thought of two solutions: one is to use a clay pot, and the other is to use a silver pot.

The former is cheaper, but has no technical capabilities.

Human civilization in this world has no history of using pottery.

Silver kettles are OK, but they are expensive. It costs at least several thousand silver dollars to make a kettle.

I can only use iron or copper tools temporarily, Luo Wei fell into deep thought. Drinking a little excessive water for a short period of time will not have a big impact.

It took a long time to change and invent a clay pot that could boil water.

I always feel a little uncomfortable! Lovi held his head. The oil lamp suddenly went out. Lodel stood in front of the study door in pajamas.

"Okay, time to go to bed."

Lowe rubbed his eyes and stood up.

He knew that using an oil lamp was bad for his glasses, but he had nothing to do at night and couldn't sleep.

There must be some entertainment, such as playing cards or chess.

If he creates life at night, won't he be exhausted to death in the long run? Forget it, I'm very tired today, I'd better go to bed early.

Lowe quickly exhausted his mental energy in the bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

Fulinbao is very quiet at night.

Everyone has the habit of going to bed as soon as possible at night.

Lanlan is no exception.

But she felt a little sleepless.

The empty room, without any sound, makes people feel insecure.

In the past, I had my family by my side, but now I am all alone.

Lan Lan got up and groped in the dark to open the window.

Leaning on the windowsill and looking down, you can see that the inner garden of Fulin Castle is full of luminous mosses of various colors.

It's a beautiful and dreamy scene like a fairy tale.

Lan Lan watched absentmindedly for a while. If the temperature difference at night was not so great, she would have opened the window to sleep.

In the garden downstairs, Mossoffe was walking by the pond with his hands behind his back, his posture leisurely, his body swaying slightly with every step he took.

On his head, Luluo pushed open the bamboo hat with all her strength, "Butler, thank you."

"Damn it, when did you get on my head again?" Mosuofei hurriedly grabbed the hat that was about to fall, and his good mood was gone.

"Master Butler, don't be stingy. I am an employee of this family now! Master Evelin allowed me to choose any place to live."

"Where do you want to live?"

"Inside the butler's bamboo hat!"

"No, I want to protest!"
