Prologue: Dinner
The firewood in the fireplace is very prosperous...
In this era, few people are willing to use the "fireplace", but there are still some people who are extremely particular about life who like this complicated heating method. The enjoyment brought by this is that in such a windless cold winter, the temperature can emit a faint rosin.
The placement of the utensils on the dining table is also very particular. It can be seen that the owner of this room likes silver tableware of "Tiffany" and "Christopher", and the spoon handle has the pattern of "Parisian style rat"; the crystal glassware is crystal clear, paired with brocade napkins, and there are small roses like blood drops embroidered on the corners of the napkin.
There are so many types of people in this world.
The first is for diners who have an indifferent attitude towards food. Their understanding of "eating" is just to be convenient or to fill their stomachs.
The other one regards food as God's most precious gift to mankind. They will almost demand everything entering their bodies, every bite of meat and every drop of water. At the same time, they will also enjoy the short moments of their stay between their taste buds and feel the satisfaction of food passing through their throats... We might as well call these people "gourmets".
From the outside, Mr. Andrew seemed to fit the style of a gourmet. He wore a good suit and a straight tie. Although he looked a little fat, he was not bloated. The gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose also embellished him with a gentle demeanor.
...Oh, by the way, he is also a brain surgeon.
At this moment, he was sitting at the dining table.
In front of him, there was also a box of fresh-keeping boxes decorated with brown patterns.
Tied it with two complementary ribbons, the ingredients on the side were foie gras sauce, the "Anatolian figs" with tears just left the branches, plus half a bottle of St. Esty red wine...
Mr. Andrew was obviously very satisfied with such a meal. He smiled and waited for what delicious food it was to deserve such a stylish dining table.
......
......
soon.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time..." A magnetic voice came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man missed his shoulders and appeared in his sight.
This is a man who looks nearly 40 years old. At this age, time will inevitably leave obvious marks on everyone's face...
Therefore, just looking at the facial features, this man definitely has nothing to do with words such as "youth" and "handsomeness". Even at first glance, he still looks a little unpleasant and arrogant.
The hair on his forehead was tilted to one side, his nose was cold and hook-shaped, calm and thin, his face was thin, his skin was very common, light brown, and his mouth was very wide, and it seemed that he always bend down intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a cold atmosphere.
If anything special is his brow bone... it was a pair of bones that were as abrupt as a ridge, with the bulge of the entire nose bridge, making his eyes deep like a ravine between the canyon...
Yes, I know that no matter which one is taken out, it is not beautiful, but when they are pieced together, they show a different temperament incredibly.
At this moment, he was wearing the most ordinary white shirt when he was at home, but every corner was clean and neat, like obsessive-compulsive disorder, making him look more extraordinary than Mr. Andrew in a suit and tie.
"How could...I want...thank you for your hospitality...Mr. Lecter." Andrew responded politely, but when he spoke, he seemed to pause inadvertently.
Of course, no one will pay attention to these details.
The man called Lecter smiled... The deep lines between the nose and lips made the smile have a unique charming beauty.
Oh, by the way, Mr. Lecter was once a colleague of Dr. Andrew.
His full name is Hannibal Lecter.
......
A surgeon, but now he has changed careers and is engaged in psychological research.
In his own words: "The physical damage is clearly visible, and I want to heal people's hearts even more."
Haha... This is indeed a reason that sounds a bit exaggerated, but... it is not that annoying to say it from Hannibal.
Everyone who has come into contact with him knows that he is a gentle, graceful, carefree and considerate person who is full of love for life.
Especially in terms of diet, he can be said to be a genius.
......
"This is sharon cream, and it was boiled with chopped hazelnuts for three hours." Hannibal opened the lid of a silver container on the table, and in an instant, a faint fragrance overwhelmed the rosin inside the house.
He took a bowl of ice water, a silver plate, put it in front of Andrew, opened the fresh-keeping box on the table, and picked out a soft, but somewhat elastic white fleshy piece from it.
"Actually...I can do it myself." Mr. Andrew said a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, no need, just enjoy this meal quietly. Maybe you won't understand. I enjoy the cooking process for the guests." Hannibal said with a smile, then dipped the piece of meat in the ice water with lemon soaked and put it on Andrew's plate.
"This ingredient is very precious. I sucked it slightly with flour and sucked it once with fresh toast slices. Put it in butter and fry until it is golden on both sides. Add the seasoning sauce and truffle slices, as well as parsley, watercress and stalked thorns, and then sprinkle a pinch of watercress leaves. Finally, it was refrigerated for another hour, and I guess you will definitely like it."
"Haha- you're such a considerate person." Andrew responded.
Hannibal seemed very satisfied with the other party's opinion on the dish. He served Andrew a glass of red wine before he returned to his seat.
"How does it taste?" he asked expectantly.
Andrew put the piece of meat into his mouth, then closed his eyes with great pleasure: "Well~~ This is really the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life... What kind of meat is this?" he asked comfortably.
