The dish in front of you is a new dish in the British royal family's official recipe book and has only been on the market for a few years. Although the dish looks simple, it has an extremely domineering name - Coronation Chicken.

This is a limited edition ceremonial dish that the British royal chef at the time racked his brains to come up with when the current Queen ascended the throne.

As for the method, you just boil the marinated chicken breast, tear it into pieces, and then serve it with a curry-based sauce.

There are two specific methods of preparation. One is the hand-torn chicken pie which is more flavorful but not very presentable. The other is the knife-cut pie which is made by pouring sauce over the sliced ​​chicken breast, which only cares about the appearance but tastes slightly inferior.

The white chicken topped with golden curry sauce looks like it’s wearing a crown, hence the name Coronation Chicken.

…

Boss Cha and Allen looked at each other. Allen looked serious and then glanced around. A group of Chinese people were performing a play on the stage. It was the play Allen had heard in Los Angeles some time ago. Boss Cha was originally very happy, but now with this dish, this play, and the background of the ten or so tables of guests around, this situation...

Boss Cha felt as if he had traveled back to the heyday of the British Empire one or two hundred years ago. If anyone were to raise their arms and call for help in this pseudo-scene of all nations coming to pay tribute, he might really dare to do something.

…

"This dish is the Coronation Chicken, a famous dish created by the royal chef when Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne. It has a special meaning. I would like to take this opportunity today to wish you all a smooth career in the new year, just like Her Majesty the Queen did when she ascended the throne and led our British Empire to prosperity."

"Your Highness, I salute you!"

Alan raised his glass and gestured to Boss Cha, and the rest was self-explanatory. I believe that after this stimulation, Boss Cha will be able to regain some motivation.

…

"Hahaha, Alan, sit down, sit down!"

Boss Cha subconsciously picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine. His face turned red with excitement. Of course, he understood what Alan meant. This thing is called Coronation Chicken. Who is crowned? !

He is the protagonist here today. Isn't it to express this meaning that Alan introduced him so solemnly?

But he didn't say it so bluntly!

Thinking about all the experiences and frustrations this year, at the end of the year, because of Allen's party, Boss Cha seemed to have lost all his resentment and was full of motivation again!

With such a loyal minister, what else do you want? !

Thinking of this, Boss Cha instantly thought of what Allen had said some time ago about wanting to restore his family's guard organization. Originally, Boss Cha didn't care much about this matter, but now...

Alan is such a loyal child. Among so many ministers, only Alan has never forgotten his original intention and has always secretly encouraged and supported him. Boss Cha plans to talk to the Queen about this matter when the royal family gathers in a few days.

…

"Thank you Alan!"

After Alan sat down, Gustav gently raised his glass to Alan.

He didn't know what others thought, but this situation really shocked him.

Boss Cha hasn't taken the throne yet, but he is a legitimate king, but...

He, as a king, lives such a miserable life. Just think about the queen, who lives in Buckingham Palace and enjoys the admiration of everyone. What kind of life does she live?

What about him?

I was actually forced to go out and relax by the parliament, my wife and my daughter.

The gap between them is too big!

This time when he came to Wales, as long as he entrusted Bertil and Madeline to Allen, Gustav was ready to have a good fight with the parliament and the mother and daughter when he returned. Anyway, he had no worries anymore. After being weak for so many years, he also wanted to be tough for once!

…

Alan sat down with a glass of wine, silently observing the people at the table with different expressions. Boss Cha would surely be very satisfied with this dish. If he really wanted to rebel now... that was not very realistic. But Boss Cha was his biggest backer. This year, it seemed that Boss Cha was suppressed a bit too much. Alan didn't want Boss Cha to be too depressed, which was not good. So he had to encourage Boss Cha regularly, tease him, and make him feel emotional.

Today, he used this dish to send a remote blessing to Boss Cha. The implicit meaning was to wish him an early ascension to the throne. It was not stated explicitly, but the meaning was that simple.

In addition to wishing Boss Cha an early coronation, Alan looked at the coronation chicken on the plate and smiled secretly in his heart.

Boss Cha only comes to Wales a few times a year. With today's party and the presence of such nobles to support him, all the Welsh monsters can see who is the real overlord of Wales.

Alan's position in Wales became more and more solid afterwards, and this dish was also a way for him to crown himself.

From now on...as long as Boss Cha is not around, Alan will be the uncrowned king of Wales!

…

December 23rd, afternoon.

Inside the sun room on the rooftop of Allen New Castle.

This is a large sunroom built with a metal frame and full glass partitions, surrounded by many green plants. In winter, even if there is no indoor heating, you can still feel the warm sunshine in this sunroom and enjoy the snow scene outside from a 360-degree angle.

There were four huge black bear skins on the ground, and a short, wide and long tea table was placed on the bear skins. Alan sat cross-legged in front of the tea table with bare feet, and a full set of tea sets was placed on the table.

The water in the teapot on the small stove next to it was almost boiling. The musician in the distance was a specially invited guzheng player. A quiet classical Chinese guzheng piece, accompanied by the heavy snow outside the sun room, made people boil tea around the stove at this time. The artistic conception...

…

It is said that the tea culture of the Hujian people is extremely prosperous. It seems that no matter where they are, they can always take out a set of tea sets to make tea.

Whether this was true or not, Alan didn't know, but as time went by, more and more Hujian people came to Wales. It was true that their tea culture became popular here, and Alan inevitably learned it.

As the water in the teapot boils, he lifts the teapot to warm the tea set, then puts in tea leaves, brews tea, scrapes foam, rubs tea leaves, shakes the fragrance, goes out to sea, displays tea, and converts. Although Alan's performance of the whole process is not very standard, his movements are quite decent, and at least he can fool a layman without any problem.

"please!"

…

Moza was wearing a black gauze dress, a bit like a widow's outfit, and the headscarf on her head added a touch of mystery to her.

She was also invited to the party two days ago. After the party, she stayed in Cardiff and only came to visit Alan today.

The vote Allen made in America not only made Allen famous, but also made Moza see Allen's strength. This trip to Wales was a further step in making her realize Allen's confidence and status.

Looking at Alan in a flowing silk robe and the little tiger lying on his lap, the sunlight refracted through the glass, and the warm light shone on Alan's face, making this gentleman look like he was coated with a layer of golden light.

Add to that the tea art that even Moza couldn't understand, and just this... Pick out any woman and everyone will be confused...

Following Alan's invitation, Moza seemed to come back to her senses. Seeing Alan motioning for her to drink tea, Moza politely said, "It's an honor to have you personally pour tea for me."

"That's too polite, Moza... We are not only partners, but also friends, right? I don't like my friends to be polite to me."

Alan picked up the teacup and sniffed the tea. He was young and hot-tempered, so he didn't like drinking black tea. Instead, he liked drinking green tea.

…

"Haha, Your Excellency is really generous and a very trustworthy partner and friend!"

Moza took a sip of tea. It was a little hot and she was not used to it, but she was very pleased with Alan's attitude.

"This time you came, you didn't take a good look around Wales, but instead you were eager to see me, is that..."

Seeing that Moza was still somewhat reserved, Alan took the initiative to ask.

"Same thing as mine. Your Excellency, I wonder what the results of your investigation are. Where do you plan to locate your...takeout company? When will it open?"

"Oh...haha, I've been quite busy recently. As you can see, I just finished this party. I'll take a few days off. I'll be accompanying His Highness on a visit abroad in a few days. The soonest we can talk about it will be after I come back."

The disappointment on Moza's face flashed away. Who doesn't like power?

Especially in the past few days, when she saw Alan inviting hundreds of nobles to watch the party together, and paving the red carpet for the banquet, she was extremely jealous of his power.

"Then Your Excellency...I wonder if there is anything else you need my help with?"

This feeling of anxious waiting was very tormenting for Moza. She desperately wanted to do something. Sometimes she even wanted Allen to cheat her, even if it was just to pay her some money. This feeling of waiting step by step was really too tormenting.

"Eh...Now that you mention it, I just remembered something."

Allen pretended to have just remembered it, lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Moza sincerely and said, "Our early plans have been discussed almost completely, and there is nothing to be improved. If we do more rashly, it will easily lead to counterproductive effects. But during this period... I have been busy with the TV station, and I have some new ideas."

"Oh? Please go ahead, sir!"

Moza's eyes lit up. Was there finally any instruction?

"Look, once our plan is accomplished, I will be fine, but you... have you ever thought about how to calm down the dynamics and public opinion at that time? For example, public opinion or some foreign views?"

Moza wants to help her husband and ascend to the throne of king in one fell swoop. Alan has a complete set of methods to help him. Anyway, the people he has are idle anyway, but what should he do after he is done?

Although... this kind of after-sales service was not within his consideration before, the times have changed.

There was no benefit in the initial discussion. Alan thought it was troublesome, so he only agreed to help Moza finish the most difficult task first, and he was not going to take care of the rest.

But now...Alan has had some new ideas recently.

…

Having acquaintances everywhere and being well-informed is an advantage. As the end of the year approaches, Alan organizes a party, and some of his subordinates will also get together with friends. Ceylon, who has a wide circle of friends, is no exception.

Ceylon told Allen about this yesterday. She said that she heard from her former colleagues that the performance of the BBC's overseas branch in the Middle East was very poor. There was a rumor leaked from their headquarters that they were considering withdrawing the BBC's Middle East branch's business in the near future to recover funds.

This was actually a very bad business behavior, but people like Alan are sometimes sensitive to certain things, and he happened to be busy with his Welsh TV business recently.

There are relatively few people in the Welsh TV station, with only two or three big and small people in the station, and their professional ability is also very poor. This evening party was barely successful with the joint efforts of the entire station. It can be regarded as a major training exercise.

Ceylon's original intention was that since the people in the BBC Middle East branch were going to be laid off, Allen could recruit these people back and put them in the Welsh TV to expand the strength of the Welsh TV. After all, it was the BBC, and the people there were all elite soldiers in the media industry.

But Allen didn't think so. After learning about the specific situation of the BBC Middle East branch in detail, he found that there seemed to be... something to it!

…

The Middle East has been a bit chaotic in recent years. Although those wealthy people are rich, they still don't have a single decent TV station.

Even an international media giant like the BBC cannot survive there.

Alan didn't quite understand this kind of thing before, but now... he happens to understand a little bit!

People like him rarely watch TV. Besides being busy, it is also boring to watch TV. Just like the Welsh TV in the past, its stance was too clear and there was nothing worth watching.

As for ordinary people... they don't like to watch such crazy TV stations.

The situation in the Middle East is somewhat similar to that in Wales.

The powerful rarely watch local TV programs, and the BBC Middle East branch has a very clear stance. Their news is always reported from the perspective of Western liberal critical thought, which makes many ordinary people in the Middle East unable to bear it. Even if there is a group of so-called "Middle Eastern elites" who like to watch programs with this stance, these minority groups cannot solve the embarrassing situation of the TV station's unprofitability.

So... in the end it was a bit unsustainable. In previous years when the economic environment was good, the BBC might have been able to hold on for some other purposes, but now... everyone is having trouble doing it, and they are not going to maintain the Middle East branch.

But Alan was a little skeptical, so he decided to try something with it.

Isn't it just right that we have Moza as our guide?

If we recruit all the people from the BBC Middle East branch, set up a separate TV station in Qatar, hide the issue of stance, and even... stir up some anti-American sentiment, will this work?

Of course, for safety reasons, they cannot resist openly. Allen has rich experience in this regard, and his current abilities can cover it.

I don’t openly say that I am anti-American, but I can show more of the bad things happening in the free world to the people in the Middle East!

As for Moza, she can be responsible for providing money and effort to help Allen prepare for the wedding.

As for the reason, Allen has already thought of it. Since there is no influential media in the Middle East, it means that even if the rebellion is successful, Moza and others will suffer a lot in public opinion. In order to prevent them from suffering, the kind-hearted Master Allen makes a brilliant appearance. Of course, he has to help his good friend!
