Our guest seems eager to eat as much as he can. Well, as the cooks, I feel honored and pleased, but also somehow worried if he gets a stomach ache because of overeating. Now, how to resolve this problem without prohibiting our guest from eating and not saying he's gluttonous.
"Father, can you ask doctor Howard to come as well? Maybe there's someone from our guest who get travel sickness from the long trip here? If we have a doctor stand by, that would ease our guest, right? Maybe also prepare a room to rest as well if they suddenly feel sick"
"Oh, you're so thoughtful, Henry…sure, no problem. I call doctor Howard to come and prepared just in case there's someone from our guest suddenly getting sick"
Ugh, someone with a high probability of getting sick from overeating is sat beside you, father.
"Hohoho…you seems to have the talent to organize a party, Henry. Do you ever hold a party here before?"
Earl Stamfort praises me over the health issue prevention.
"This is my first time to arrange a party, uncle. Forgive me is there'll something displeased you later during the banquet"
"You're doing just fine, Henry…you think all aspects that can give the guest comfort. That makes you a good party organizer"
"Yeah, you're doing fine in your first holding a party event, son. With doctor Howard here, I can eat to my heart content with no worries since we have a doctor nearby"
Oi oi oi… Don't casually throw irresponsible remarks like that, stupid father. That would be troublesome if everyone starts thinking like that and eats like a glutton. Doctor Howard will be super busy if everyone gets stomach ache because overeating, you know? That's not good for his old body.
"If your belly gets upset after the banquet because overeating, I only allowed you to eat porridge until you healed, father"
My father's face suddenly looks pale, while rubbing the sweat from his forehead, he says an excuse. Somehow Earl Stamfort also does the same as my father.
"Eh...eh...I only said I want to eat to my heart content, not to overeating"
Before I can refute his words by telling him it's almost the same meaning, the ladies already enter the dining hall together. Oh well, I hope nothing bad will happen later then. A maid that standby in the dining hall goes to the kitchen and not long after that, the food start delivered from the kitchen to the dining hall
"Good morning father, uncle and Henry"
My fiancé and my sister greet us with the same words, of course, the father in my fiancé words aimed at Earl Stamfort just like the uncle words from my sister.
"Good morning girls, please have a seat and let's take breakfast together"
After they seating on their respective chairs, the first question asked is,
"What we have for breakfast this time Henry?"
"It's soup and pancake bread only since we will have a feast later"
"Pancake? I don't mind have breakfast with pancake"
"What is that pancake, brother Henry?"
My little sister asked me the question since they haven't eaten pancake yet
"Oh it a new type of bread that I just make. It tastes nice when eating with warm milk or with honey topped over the bread or with fruit jam too"
"I want it! I want it!"
My little sisters look enthusiastic when they hear that they will eat something nice at breakfast
"Ahahaha…be patient, it will come soon. Ah, could you please deliver some warm milk along with the pancake for my sisters?"
I ask the maid that standby in the dining hall to bring warm milk for my sister.
"Henry…I also want to eat the pancake with milk"
"Me too…"
My sister and my fiancé suddenly ask for milk to accompany them eating the pancake.
"Ah, add some more for my fiancé too…"
I revised my milk order to the maid who about to leave the dining hall to convey my order to the kitchen
*Cough*…."I think I also want to drink milk once for a while for breakfast"
This time, it's Earl Stamfort who request for milk. Ugh…rather than waiting for another request for milk, let's order milk for all people in here as well
"I change my order, please bring milk enough for everyone here as well as tea for a drink"
"Yes, young master"
After receiving my final order, the maid goes to the kitchen to relay my order to Mrs. Martina.
We don't have to wait for too long and the first wave of dishes is delivered to the dining hall. The birds nest soup bowl already in front of everyone in the dining table. The pancakes come after the soup, but hey…why they make so many pancakes like this? There're three big plates in the table with pancakes piled up like a small mound on each plate. With this amount, can we eat them all? oh well, if we can't eat them all, the leftover surely will be eaten by the servant or maids in the kitchen
After pancakes delivered, the last item sent to the dining hall is ingredients for topping. There're jars with honey and compote which I made earlier and also milk pot.
My fiancé and my sister Eliza who already eat pancake before, take two pancakes for themselves already. They're smearing the pancake with honey and compote for each pancake. The other following their action and move the pancakes to their own plate.
"Mmm….it's different from yesterday but still taste good"
"Yup, the soft textures and sweetness still the same"
Since my sister and my fiancé already eat pancake before, they can tell if there's a difference between today's pancakes with yesterday pancake.
"Hmm…although looks simple yet tasty. It's suitable for breakfast"
Earl Stamfort gives his comment for the pancakes. And slowly pancakes mound on the table getting less and lesser until no single pancake left on the table, there's also additional request for milk either. What amazing appetitte they have there! For the thought that it would left some pancakes make me surprised with their belly capacity. It seems at least they eat three pancakes for the breakfast.
