Chapter 18 How to Seriously Pretend to be an English Nobleman?
"Um"
Arthur stood up from the boss's chair, moved his arms and cervical spine, and typing for four hours in a row made his strong body feel a little stiff and tired. There was no way, after all, not everyone could get used to sitting in front of the computer to type in the same position.
Bypassing the desk, I walked to the large arched window where the sunset shone in, and looked out the window, the trees and grass slopes dyed by the sunset, and the ripples blown by the wind in the distant lake were like being sprinkled with gold powder, shining with golden bouquet.
"What a beautiful place!" Arthur said to himself with a smile on his lips. Today he just hurriedly wandered around the main garden area of the manor. There were still many places he had not visited. He had not come yet and had to hurry to explore the secrets in the forest, sit by the lake and feed ducks... and rolled on the grass.
Many thoughts emerged in my mind, and Arthur couldn't help but sigh that living here is really just doing whatever you want to spend your day happily and easily. No wonder living in the countryside and owning a manor is the most ideal lifestyle for British people.
"call"
Arthur raised his arms, stretched his waist, walked leisurely to the cloak mirror next to the study room, looking at himself in the mirror, the bandages and net hats on his head made him look a little funny, but his handsome facial features and a pair of blue eyes saved his image a lot.
He can be regarded as a typical British handsome guy, but he lacks the scholarly aura and aristocratic aura. He only has a simple handsomeness and a sense of unyieldingness.
Arthur reached out and touched his hair that had grown a little, and sighed. As a British man, the most worrying thing is his hairline problem. He would never shave his head again if he was beaten to death. Now, he was worried that he would inevitably become bald in the British. If he was really bald, a few strands of hair would be messy in the wind... Arthur couldn't help but slam his face and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Dongdong
At this moment, the door of the study was knocked. When Arthur turned to look at the door, the door was pushed open. The housekeeper Paul walked in gracefully and calmly, bowed to him slightly, and smiled and said, "Earl, it's time for afternoon tea."
"Well." Arthur nodded slightly. To be honest, he was also looking forward to seeing the Earl's house's afternoon tea. After all, the afternoon tea of the British nobles was boasted too much.
How to pretend to be a British nobleman seriously?
Start with a cup of English afternoon tea.
There is a saying in Britain that says, if you drink the right afternoon tea, your soul will have its own fragrance.
The housekeeper Paul moved away from the door, and then a waiter pushed a dining cart in. After greeting Arthur respectfully, he pushed the dining cart to the rest area of the study.
Arthur walked over and sat leisurely on the red velvet sofa, looking at the afternoon tea on the dining car with curiosity and expectation in his eyes.
A white porcelain teapot with unique patterns, a cold milk cup, and a tea cup with a cup and saucer. This nobleman understood it immediately. He could drink tea directly here or use it to make tea.
Next to it is a delicate box with sapphire blue with beautiful patterns. I think this is the famous jewelry box dessert.
"Today's tea is Darjeeling. Its soup is orange-yellow and has a fragrant and elegant smell. The best food is especially muscat grape flavor and has a delicate and gentle taste. It is known as "Champagne in tea" and is a representative of the best tea leaves..."
The housekeeper Paul stood beside Arthur and introduced with a smile. Arthur nodded slightly, but his eyes were seriously looking at the smiling waiter pouring him tea.
The waiter picked up the teapot and poured two-thirds of the tea into the cup, then looked up respectfully and asked: "Earl, do you want to add a cow nai?"
"Can."
After getting the answer, the waiter picked up the oxen cup and poured it into the oxen. Seeing the oxen bloom like a white cloud, Arthur, a fake nobleman, really felt that it was worthwhile to spend money to hire these people to serve.
In this way, a portion of English nai tea is completed. Next, Arthur can add white sugar according to his preferences. However, the first time drinking English nai tea was too sweet. Arthur was worried that he could not stand it, so he planned to try it first.
Elegantly pinched the teacup handle with his fingers, picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, and tasted it. Although it felt a bit weird, Arthur, who had drunk all kinds of nai tea in his previous life, could still accept it. After a few sips, it felt good.
Of course, a afternoon tea with its own aroma must not be without snacks. Oh no, it is to taste the exquisite snacks served in jewelry boxes.
When the jewelry box was brought up, Arthur couldn't help but feel happy and anticipated. To be honest, nothing can bring people the joy from the bottom of their hearts like beauties and food.
The drawers of the box opened layer by layer, surpriseing Count Arthur.
There are four layers of afternoon tea in a jewelry box, from bottom to top, namely Sicon, Salty, Dessert, and the last layer is several Italian desserts.
"The first layer is vanilla flavor, cranberry flavor scone, the second layer is "Sanjin Nut Cheese Bowl Teriyaki Eel Cucumber Cup" "Smoke Salmon with Butter Toast" The third layer is 'Mango Crab Chicken Roll' "Tuna Fish Mousse with Black and White Toast" The fourth layer is "Fresh Strawberry Japanese Cheese Cake" Love Mascarpone Mango Mousse Berry Ice Cream Mousse".
The waiter showed the delicious snacks in the jewelry box one by one in front of the count, and the exquisite snacks were pleasing to the eye.
"Haha, to welcome your first afternoon tea home, James prepared for several hours and carefully prepared it." Paul, the housekeeper next to him, explained with a smile.
"James Jones? Thank him for help." Arthur smiled and nodded. He also understood his own chef's idea. After all, he had changed his employer, especially as a chef. If the food he made cannot be recognized and favored by his employer, then he would not be far from unemployment.
Arthur picked up a hot Scone cake, cut it with a dining knife, then picked up the sauce knife, and began to apply homemade cranberry jam and fragrant nai oil on the two pancakes.
Then closed it, put it to your mouth, and took a bite. The texture was delicate and very appetizing.
“Good, very delicious!”
Eating the delicious snack, Arthur's eyes lit up slightly and he praised without hesitation. At this moment, he really didn't know how to complain about his predecessor, this guy, who didn't enjoy such a happy top-level life, ran out to commit suicide, and was really stuck in the door!
As soon as his appetite was opened, Arthur couldn't stop, and then he ate a bowl of Mixed Nuts and Cheese, a whole piece of cheese wrapped in a handful of nuts, cashews, hazelnuts and melon seeds, and there were many kinds. Finally, he added a piece of dried apricot.
Eat it all the way, sweet and sour, salty and fragrant, with a rich and rich taste...
The smoky flavor of salmon is very strong, the toast is covered with salty butter, and the surface is decorated with a thin layer of radish to provide a hint of sweetness. Eat it in one breath, with a hint of refreshment in the richness.
The crepe is wrapped in chicken, crab sticks, and fresh mangoes. The chicken is extremely fresh, and it can also compare the umami flavor when paired with crab sticks. The sweetness of mangoes increases the level of umami flavor, which is an absolutely exquisite dessert...
When I ate the fresh strawberry Japanese cheesecake, Arthur really fell in love with this flavor of cake. The light cheesecake is fluffy like a cloud, and the thin nai oil is very fragrant and has a slight sweet taste. When I dig it down with a spoonful, it looks like eating the fragrant and delicious bubbles, and it melts in my mouth.
“Best today!”
While eating happily, Arthur said to the butler Paul beside him that it was definitely the best delicacy for the nobleman to eat all the snacks.
"Haha, I believe James will definitely be very happy after he learns it." Butler Paul looked at the Earl who was completely captured by food, and also showed a happy smile on his face, and his bright eyes were shining with a wise light.
In this way, in a blink of an eye, a jewelry box of afternoon tea was eaten by Arthur.
Arthur, who was full, leaned on the sofa and sighed: "It would be even more wonderful if he had another cocktail or fruit wine at this time."
"Haha, sorry, Earl, you are prohibited from drinking alcoholic beverages before your injury has healed."
