Chapter 142: Bringing Canned Fish as Gifts

Chapter 142: Bringing Canned Fish as Gifts

Mina and Tess spent about half an hour bathing. They were both about 1.6 meters tall (about 5 foot 3 inches).

Mina, your clothes is so tight! Tess said, tugging on the clothes that she was wearing. She was used to wearing large and loose clothes. Minas clothes were fine except that the chest portion was a bit too tight for her.

Minas mouthed twitched as she looked at Tesss chest. Just bear with it for now. Well get some custom-made clothes for you when we get back to the castle. Mina was debating whether or not she should let Tess wear Anris clothes. It would probably only cover half of her things. Mina smiled as she imagined Anri going crazy from the sight.

Mina, are you thinking about something bad? Tess asked, staring at Minas evil grin.

No, nothing at all! Mina said, walking away.

Really nothing? Tess ran a little to catch up to Mina. It seemed as if her clothes were going to explode any second.

Nothing! Youre overthinking, Mina said, holding in her laughter.

Oh. But your smile previously was just like a cat stealing and eating fish without permission, Tess said.

Eh? You know about fish? Mina asked, her eyes widening.

I do! Big Sis caught fish for me to eat before. They taste really good, but theyre hard to catch. Big Sis always had to jump in the water to catch them, Tess said, licking her lips.

Yeah, they taste really good. Young Master knows how to cook fish. We caught a lot yesterday, Mina said. She was almost drooling from the thought.

Wow! That good? Then are there any more fish now? Tess asked.

Eh,.. probably, Mina said, staring at Tess with vigilance. Young Master need those to experiment with, not for eating.

Mina, why are you so nervous? Tess asked, getting her face close to Mina and narrowing her eyes. Are you afraid that I would eat all the fish?

N- no. I- I didnt think that, Mina said, looking away.

Then I want to eat a lot of fish.

You cant! Young Master left them for me!

What gift should I bring to the banquet later tonight? Liu Feng asked, smiling. How about bringing some canned fish?

People that attended nobles banquet usually brought gifts so as to show that they werent there to take advantage of the free food and drinks. The gift didnt have to be expensive- it could be something like a bouquet of flowers.

All up to you, Young Master, Mina said softly.

Then lets also bring some desserts, Liu Feng said, nodding. He didnt have much expectations for a nobles banquet. He had to bring some stuff for himself to eat. While it was somewhat impolite, it would at least save him from suffering.

Ok! Then should we also bring some drinks? Mina asked. She knew that Liu Feng didnt like wheat wine or bitter tea.

Bring some coffee. There should be milk-flavored coffee in the boxes, Liu Feng said. He shivered when he thought of the bitter tea.

Okay! Mina quickly went to prepare stuff.

Liu Feng rested his chin on his hand and looked at Tess, who was sweating from eating. Her mouth hadnt stopped moving, and her head was slightly rocking as she ate. She was happy from eating.

Lord Liu Feng, North Wind City Lord has sent over a carriage! Sinke yelled from outside.

Let them wait, Liu Feng said.

5 minutes later, Mina came out holding a backpack with 2 cans of fish in her hands.

Lets go, Liu Feng said, taking the canned fish. Sinke took the cans from Liu Feng when he got off the ship.

Sinke! Youre going with me tonight, Liu Feng said as he got on the carriage.

Sinke froze for a split second before immediately nodding his head. Yes!

In nobles banquets, besides bringing a female companion, participants could also bring 1 or 2 knights in case of any incidents. Of couse, the knights couldnt go into the inner hall- they could only stay in the outer hall and eat or tease the maids or try to get information from others.

Sinke could feel the jealously from his comrades. Being able to attend a nobles banquet with Liu Feng meant that Liu Feng trusted his ability.

I wonder what a nobles banquet is like. Will the food be better than the food in the cafeteria?
