The dinner prepared for Princess Anne officially began.
The appetizers were taken away by the servants and the main course was served.
The king and the queen sat at the top, with the Pope and the saint on their left, and Princess Anne, another princess and three princes on their right.
Zhang Feng just found an inconspicuous place, intending to taste the palace delicacies in a low-key manner, but he never expected that those noble ladies seemed to have set their sights on Zhang Feng, and they all came to his table.
As a result, when the food was served, it turned out that everyone at the table, except Zhang Feng, was a woman.
However, these ladies did not do anything out of line. They just talked more and had a closer relationship with Zhang Feng.
There was nothing wrong with the other person's behavior, so Zhang Feng naturally had nothing to say.
Just as Zhang Feng was observing with some boredom, the queen happened to look over at him.

Zhang Feng nodded and thanked him:
Zhang Feng was a little confused.
He always felt that the queen's attitude towards him was a little different, but she was the queen after all! It couldn't be what he thought!
Faced with such enthusiastic people, Zhang Feng couldn't refuse them all. After all, it would be too impolite. He chose a few recommendations from beautiful female nobles and tried two bites, which immediately made those female nobles' eyes light up.
But Zhang Feng felt a little strange when he saw the cat-eared girl staring at the food on the plate in a daze.
"That's such a pity!"
The many female nobles who saw all this immediately felt disheartened.
Jenny was a little bit incredulous, and the other female nobles were also staring at Jenny, or the dried fish in her hand, and most of them had a look of disgust on their faces.
Zhang Feng was somewhat glad that they didn't have the habit of picking up food for others, otherwise who knows what would have happened.
But judging by the reactions of others, these delicacies are obviously very satisfying.
"Damn it! Is this thing really edible?"
Zhang Feng looked at the cat-eared girl who didn't eat much, and asked curiously:
Fortunately, maybe Zhang Feng took the cat-eared girl into consideration, so he didn’t take out the dried fish. Instead, he said to Jenny, “We don’t have any dried fish for now. I have similar food that is not inferior to dried fish at all. If you like it…”
"Ahem, actually I have quite a few good things here. We have all kinds of food. We have everything you can think of, and they are all extremely delicious. You will definitely not be disappointed if you buy them!"
"Uh... canned fish is big, I don't have it with me."
"Hehe, Count Kama, I heard that you have learned some new techniques. Do you want to exchange ideas with me tonight?"
"Ah, what's the good of being young? He has nothing. He's not as good as me, who knows everything. If he agrees to be my husband, I promise to give him endless gold coins and make him live comfortably every day..."
Although he felt it was not a good idea to talk about other delicacies at a banquet hosted by the king, Zhang Feng was determined to do it for the sake of Hongye City!
Zhang Feng actually wanted everyone to accept eating fish. After all, the freshwater fish resources here were abundant, but no one knew how to use them. If they could be used, so that everyone could eat delicious and nutritious fish, it would be great - after all, there were quite a few canned fish brought from Hongye City in Zhang Feng's Hongye Steam No. 1.
Before Zhang Feng could say anything, the cat-eared girl immediately stared at Jenny angrily. She had a strong sense of crisis.
After eating, he looked at Zhang Feng with a feeling of unsatisfied feeling.
“She is my cat.”
The cat-eared girl nodded frantically.
After hearing the conversation between Jenny and Zhang Feng, the other female nobles could no longer sit still.
Jenny said somewhat uncertainly.
But now it seems that there is no need to promote it!
"Ahem, isn't it a bad idea to do this so late?"
Zhang Feng originally wanted to say, "If you like it, I can give you some."
…
They all looked at Zhang Feng with some surprise.
Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Jenny quickly ate the remaining half of the dried fish.
As for the taste, Zhang Feng could only say it was just average.
However, Zhang Feng's words were denied by Jenny.
"Here, seeing that your performance is okay for now, I'll give you a reward!"
Of course, there are also people who are unwilling to give up, such as Jenny, who is closer to Zhang Feng.
After all, for the cat-eared girl, deducting dried fish was already a severe punishment. If Zhang Feng deducted a few more, she probably wouldn't be able to eat tasteless dried fish for a while.
“Hmm!”
Seeing that Zhang Feng had no interest in them, some of them had already begun to retreat. No matter what, they were female nobles of the Buck Kingdom and belonged to the real upper class. There was no need for them to fawn over him.
Jenny's voice was a little loud, and the other female nobles at the table also heard it.
Cat-eared Girl has never been picky about food. It may be related to her past experiences. As long as it is edible, Cat-eared Girl will not be picky. Of course, she also has her favorites, such as dried fish.
The cat-eared girl suddenly panicked and even started to imagine things.
…
This pudding happened to be one of the worst looking dishes. In Zhang Feng's eyes, it was just a large piece of uncooked meat, and it was even a little bloody! Zhang Feng had no feelings for this kind of thing.
If it is the second possibility, they have to be careful!
After all, the other party has always been very enthusiastic and has not shown any prejudice against Zhang Feng, an outsider. Zhang Feng feels that it is reasonable for him to give her something. Maybe he can even use her to help promote himself.
Before, he thought that once the Red Leaf Steam No. 1 incident took off and attracted more people, and spread the fame of their Red Leaf City, he would be able to make a lot of money. But now, he sees that these rich people are around him!
"Well, actually my favorite is the Red Leaf Tavern..."
Jenny took it subconsciously, and a fragrant smell emanated from the dried fish, and Jenny swallowed subconsciously.
Zhang Feng was speechless. He almost forgot that many people in this world do not eat fish, because fish is difficult to handle and has a strong fishy smell, which easily makes people associate it with bad things. Some people even say that fish are the devil or something. Anyway, it is a bad symbol.
The food in the palace was indeed gourmet compared to that in other places. At least it looked much better in appearance, and there were no more things that looked like poop.
"You can try it. I don't have to lie to you."
"How can you eat fish? That's what our cats eat!"
"Count Zhang Feng, what is that?"
"But no matter which one it is, we have nothing to do with it!"
Jenny didn't want to eat it, but when she saw Zhang Feng's confident eyes, she hardened her heart and took a bite.
“This…this is so delicious!”
Seeing that the other party said so, Zhang Feng naturally no longer refused.
After taking a bite of the dried fish, Jenny unexpectedly discovered that there was no fishy smell, but instead a hint of sweetness and a hint of spiciness... The taste was very strange, as if there were a lot of spices, but she couldn't tell what the specific spices were. Anyway, it was delicious! Better than anything she had ever eaten!
Zhang Feng knew that they would definitely not believe it, so he did not explain too much and just took out a small dried fish and handed it to Jenny.
Jenny uttered a compliment that stunned many of the noblewomen.
"Master, I..."
Zhang Feng had no choice but to stroke the cat-eared girl's fur and explained:
Jenny pointed at the little fish tail sticking out from the corner of the cat-eared girl's mouth and asked curiously.
The eyes of the female nobles flickered, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Uh-huh!"
The cat-eared girl who sat obediently next to Zhang Feng was a little scared. She saw from the eyes of these women their desire for Zhang Feng. There were even sparks when they looked at each other.
Zhang Feng answered casually, but this answer surprised Jenny.
Jenny raised her glass and gestured to Zhang Feng, so Zhang Feng also raised his glass and drank the ordinary-tasting red wine in one gulp.
After Jenny said this, other female nobles also began to recommend Zhang Feng.
But I won't admit it!
It’s not very delicious, but it’s not bad either, it’s just average.
"Of course, my gold coins are getting rusty at home!"
The cat-eared girl frowned, feeling as if she had forgotten something, but suddenly she couldn't remember it...
Of course, the statement that it was rusted was an exaggeration. How could a gold coin rust, unless it was fake? But this can show the other party's confidence in his own financial resources.
Zhang Feng quickly shook his head and threw away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
But what if Zhang Feng is prepared and doesn't give me the antidote? Zhang Feng naturally didn't know what the cat-eared girl was thinking. Seeing some panic in her eyes, Zhang Feng thought she was scared by him.
Thinking of this, looking at the cat-eared girl with a look of fear on her face, Zhang Feng felt a little bit reluctant.
Because there were quite a lot of people at the dinner, they were divided into many tables. Each table was like a small group, and everyone was communicating in a low voice. The king, the pope and others at the top were also communicating in a low voice. From the smiles on their faces, one could feel that the communication was very pleasant.
"OK……"
"What's wrong with that? Did you go to bed early? Oh, I forgot that you were appreciated by the queen today. How about tomorrow? It should be okay tomorrow, right?"
Alas, I am still too soft-hearted! Zhang Feng took out a fragrant dried fish from his hand as if by magic and placed it in front of the cat-eared girl.
"If I heard correctly, Earl Zhang Feng was talking about fish?"
"Count Zhang Feng, this kind of pudding can only be made by the chefs in the palace. After being pickled for dozens of days...it tastes very good! Do you want to try it?"
The cat-eared girl nodded repeatedly. She was already a servant, so being a cat was nothing. As long as she had dried fish to eat, Zhang Feng would let her do anything! Jenny was stunned. She looked at the cat-eared girl who was different from ordinary people, and for a moment she really couldn't refute it.
"Why don't you eat? It doesn't suit your appetite?"
"Um, I have a lot of stuff, are you sure you can buy them all?"
What antidote? Dried fish is what she is after! Zhang Feng also thought the cat-eared girl was cute when he saw her like this. He subconsciously touched her head, which made her hum comfortably.
"Does this Earl Zhang Feng like younger people? Or does he like orcs?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Count Zhang Feng, drink."
Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Could it be that what Zhang Feng just took out was really that delicious? Or was Jenny deliberately looking for an excuse to get close to Zhang Feng!
When Jenny heard that Zhang Feng agreed to her, she immediately smiled.
"How much do you have left? I'll buy them all. Price is not an issue!"
He originally thought that he could promote his products through these female nobles.
"Then take it out and let us see it!"
Seeing the dried fish appear, the messy thoughts in the cat-eared girl's mind disappeared instantly. With Zhang Feng's permission, she bit the dried fish in one bite, and then her eyes curved with happiness.
Hearing Zhang Feng's question, the cat-eared girl was startled, and she finally remembered the thing she had forgotten!
Jenny was a little disappointed. She had originally thought that she and Zhang Feng might have common hobbies, but now it seemed that this was impossible, at least when it came to pudding.
At the same time, the queen was whispering to Princess Anne: "Anne, tell me, what other magical places are there in Red Leaf City..."
The cat-eared girl couldn't understand, other than the fact that Zhang Feng was better looking and the dried fish in his hand was more fragrant, what other advantages did this Zhang Feng have?
Could it be dried fish? No, it's impossible! She, Windsor, is not such a superficial orc!
"Thanks, but I personally don't really like pudding."
The cat-eared girl suddenly widened her eyes and stared at the dried fish, her face full of heartache.
But unexpectedly, Jenny interrupted Zhang Feng directly.
Could it be that Zhang Feng discovered it?
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go first... No, I'll go to your house after the party is over!"
"impossible!"
Zhang Feng has a lot of supplies.
"Oh, that's dried fish, a snack from Windsor."
"For example, fish. Although the dried fish are gone, I still have a lot of canned fish. They are just as delicious as the dried fish!"
If they are so rich, why advertise? Why not just sell it to them directly? Zhang Feng, who had figured it all out, suddenly had a bright idea.
"no problem!"
Zhang Feng was stunned. He felt like he seemed to have overlooked something.
The reason why she stayed with Zhang Feng was entirely because... because of what?
"Mmm! Delicious!"
Their eyes met, and the queen gave Zhang Feng a faint smile. Zhang Feng looked away awkwardly.
Marquise Jenny pointed at the red pudding on the plate and introduced it to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng only knew that the other party had good intentions, so he said again: "Besides, fish can also be eaten. As long as it is handled properly, fish is also a delicacy!"
Antidote! She was poisoned! The reason she stayed by Zhang Feng's side was that she needed the antidote from Zhang Feng!
The dinner time passed quickly and Zhang Feng felt a little bored.
Although Zhang Feng was invited by the Queen to attend the dinner, except for the Queen speaking to him for a few words at the beginning, he seemed to be a nobody after that.
Apart from attracting the attention of many female nobles, everyone else had forgotten that there was such a person in the banquet hall.
Until the king spoke again: "This time, I have to thank Earl Zhang Feng for sending Princess Anne back safely. Earl Zhang Feng, I heard that when you came back, you took a carriage that could move by itself?"
Swish! Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Feng, who was playing with the cat's tail out of boredom.
