"Wait a little two minutes, and I invited a special guest." the old man asked Du Lin to freshen up. When he came back, he told Du Lin that another guest would have dinner together. Du Lin didn''t care much about the old man''s unauthorized invitation.


    Firstly, this is the old man''s place. He has the right to invite guests to dinner. Secondly, Du Lin also has a glimmer of expectation. Will he be another big man such as the speaker? The more people participate, the more confident he will be in the next action. The gate of the strongest castle is always opened from the inside. If one person''s strength is not enough, there will be more people. This is a good thing.


    But it was obvious that Dooling would be disappointed because the old man invited a girl.


    "My youngest granddaughter will come later..." the old man looked at Du Lin''s face and couldn''t help laughing. "Yes, you''re right. I''m using a very mean trick. I hope you can fall in love with my granddaughter, so we may have more opportunities for cooperation in the future." the old man seemed to say with some emotion, "Nothing is more reliable than blood relationship. I believe you can feel it more clearly in the empire than here!"


    The old man is quite right. Marriage is always the most reliable cooperation "contract" between the two forces , many middle and lower classes think that marriage is just a marriage contract, including Du Lin, who once thought so. However, as he began to enter the upper class, and with more and more people, he finally understood why marriage, which is considered meaningless by the middle and lower classes and the vast majority of people, widely exists in the upper class. People still believe that to unite to marriage.


    Because all interests are not based on "marriage" In essence, or marriage is not a real marriage. What the two sides of the marriage need is not the younger generation of the two families to get married, which has no value. What they need is the offspring of the two people, or the mixture of two blood lineages, and a hybrid with the blood of two families flowing in an individual. All interests will be based on the existence of this hybrid As a benchmark, this is definitely a lucky child, but it can also be a unlucky child.


    It is a terrible thing to say that he is lucky, because since he was not born, there will be many industries under his name, and he or she will have two huge paternal families and maternal families as backers. Even if he doesn''t need to do anything after he is born, he can enjoy the wealth and power that the ordinary class may not be able to accumulate for decades Li, perhaps from the moment he was born, the purpose of his existence is to squander money, time and life!


    It is said that he is an unlucky child because if one of the two families obviously lags behind in the future development and the relationship is getting farther and farther away, it will become a necessary "failure product" in the process of family development and growth , because his blood is not pure, even if he is rich and powerful, that is, an idle person in the family who will never master power. Of course, although he is not valued and has no power, it also leaves him the basis of envy, jealousy and hatred of others. If he has excellent ability, he will have a great future.


    The nobles introduced by margus to Turin are willing to marry Turin, but they don''t put their attention on Turin, but on the next generation of Turin. They will strongly support Turin to develop, explore and grab interests and power. These things will only be left to his children in the end. At that time, there is no strong paternity to rely on , the child will eventually return to the embrace of the nobility.


    Only need to marry a cousin, the child with the mother''s surname, all that Du Lin has become aristocratic, which is what Du Lin most resists.


    What he struggled for can be given to anyone, even if he donated it to the country on his deathbed, he doesn''t care, but he absolutely doesn''t accept such calculations. His bottom line is not to bow and compromise on issues of principle!


    When he heard that the old man wanted to seduce himself with his granddaughter, and he said it so blatantly, Du Lin was not angry, but laughed with the old man. A successful man, a man with wisdom, always knew when to lie and when to be sincere. If he didn''t say anything, Du Lin might resent it, but he said, Du Lin thought it was very interesting. The old man was very interesting, and even had a glimmer of expectation. How excellent his granddaughter was and wanted to fall in love with her?


    This expectation is the old man''s "conspiracy". He doesn''t guarantee that Turin will do what he wants, but why not try? There is still the possibility of success, even if it is very slim, but if you don''t try, you can only accept the doomed failure.


    After waiting for more than ten minutes, the girl appeared in Turin''s line of sight. She was dressed in a tender green solid color dress and a sun visor with a certain light blue white edge. She looked like she was seventeen or eighty-nine years old. Her delicate facial features were really beautiful. Under her crystal clear skin, the vitality of youth came out.


    The old man looked at Doolin, Doolin looked at the girl, and the girl looked at the old man and laughed at the same time.


    "Well, go and clean yourself up. We''ll have dinner soon." the old man asked, and then invited Turin to sit at the table. "There are many differences between the diet and cooking methods of the Federation and the Empire. If you haven''t tasted them, I think this is the most appropriate opportunity!"


    Soon, the girl changed a set of home clothes and appeared next to the table, because it was a "family banquet". Whether it was the federation or the Empire, the family banquet had special significance. It could be said that the guests were accepted as friends of a family and even "their own people". The dishes could be less grand, but they were of great significance.


    The girl is like a very standard vase sitting on one side, with a very sweet smile on her face. She has two dimples. When she smiles, she gives people a very interesting and lovely feeling. But neither the old man nor herself took the initiative to introduce her information. If Du Lin was interested, Du Lin would take the initiative to ask. If they took the initiative to introduce, it was obviously too tangled on the surface. Moreover, there was no girl at the beginning of the meal, and she was just a midway participant.


    As many dishes were placed on the table one by one, Dooling was surprised to find that there was no fish. The fish was a very interesting ingredient, very common and not so common.


    At last, the cook finally brought the fish to the table.


    In the Empire, fish may have other cooking methods in addition to deep-sea fish. Most freshwater fish and shallow sea fish are beaten into meat paste and made into fish steak. After frying, they are placed on the dinner plate and sent to the guests like steak. This is because there are some small spines in the meat of freshwater fish and shallow sea fish. More or less, this is inconsistent with people''s eating habits of eating meat. No one will eat meat patiently and be careful of the spines in the fish. Therefore, it is the most traditional practice to beat the meat with spines into meat paste and fry it.


    The practice of deep-sea fish should be more, because there are fewer fish bones in deep-sea fish, so they can eat meat in a big mouth. They don''t worry about being stuck by fish bones. There are often practices like barbecue and smoking.


    But the dish in front of Dooling was obviously a little different from that of the Empire because it was raw.


    With the exquisite skills of the cook, a fish less than a foot is set in the dinner plate like a beautiful peacock. Its meat is cut into almost transparent fish slices, which are very beautiful like the feathers of the peacock after opening the screen. What''s more interesting is that there are red things as thin as paper between each piece of fish. According to the cook, it''s five-year refined raw ham, which is more expensive than gold! There are also some spices and dipping sauce around the dinner plate, which has a very good visual effect.


    The old man used a knife and fork together. He took a part of it and dipped it in some sauce. He nodded his head with satisfaction, "you can try it. It''s very delicious!"


    Du Lin took some and tasted it without touching the dish, which made the old man very curious. He received many people from other countries and liked it very much, including margus, who used it in Kaile hotel when he was young, and gave a high evaluation! Only Du Lin ate it once and didn''t touch it the second time. Did he dislike it or was he not used to eating raw food?


    This made the old man very curious and asked, "don''t you have the same eating habits?"


    Du Lin shook his head. "The taste of ham is too strong to completely cover up the delicious fish. I only eat the taste of ham, but I can''t find the taste of fish!" he smiled. "If you can, you can send me a ham when I leave, and I will be happier!"


    There are two kinds of ham. One is beef ham. This kind of ham is common in the Empire, but it doesn''t taste good and tastes very bad. Another kind is made of Hao meat - Hao is more like a pig in Turin''s dream world. There is no large-scale breeding in the Empire. The main reason is that the Hao variety of the empire is very poor. It has not been domesticated and optimized for many generations, and the taste is not as good as beef. On the contrary, the federal side has introduced some excellent varieties from other places, which has completely got rid of the image of long thorns, and the meat is tender and fatter. It is the most suitable for making ham.


    A good ham needs at least three years of pickling and fermentation. It is sealed and preserved in a very strict environment and can be eaten raw. With good pickling materials, careful management and strictly controlled environment, a five-year ham may even be more expensive than gold of the same weight!


    After hearing this, the old man did not refute, but took some bags into his mouth. He carefully tasted them with few taste buds, and then nodded approvingly, "you''re right, this dish seems to need to be changed!"


    He said with a meaningful smile, "just like this country!"
