Chapter 18

"Well --"

Arthur got up from the boss's chair, moved his arms and cervical vertebrae, and typed for four hours, which made his strong body feel a little stiff and tired. No way, after all, always keep a posture, sitting in front of the computer typing, not everyone can get used to.

Around the desk, walk to the big arched window where the setting sun slants in, and look out at the trees and grass slopes dyed orange red by the setting sun. The ripples in the lake far away by the wind are like being covered with gold powder and shining with golden Bo light.

"What a beautiful place!" Arthur said to himself with a smile that today he just strolled around the main flower garden of the manor. There are many places he hasn't visited. He hasn't come to explore the secret in the woods. He sits by the lake and feeds the ducks... Rolling on the grass.

Many ideas come to mind. Arthur can't help sighing that living here can really kill a day happily and easily by doing something. No wonder living in the country and owning a manor are the most ideal way of life for British people.

"Hoo --"

Arthur raised his arms, stretched his waist, and leisurely walked to the cloakroom mirror beside his study. Looking at himself in the mirror, the bandage and net cap on his head made him look a bit funny. However, his handsome facial features and blue eyes saved a lot of his image.

It can be regarded as a typical British handsome boy, but he lacks the scholarly and aristocratic atmosphere. Some are just simple and handsome, with a rebellious.

Arthur reached out to touch his hair and sighed. As an Englishman, he should be worried about his hairline. He will not shave his head again. From now on, he is worried about whether he will inevitably become British baldness. If he is bald, his hair will be disordered in the wind... Arthur could not help but beat a cold cicada, his face pulled, dare not think down.

At this moment, the door of the study was knocked. When Arthur turned to look at the door, the door was pushed open. Paul, the housekeeper, walked in gracefully and calmly. He leaned forward slightly and said with a smile, "count, it's tea time."

"Well." Arthur nodded slightly. To tell the truth, he was also looking forward to seeing the Earl's afternoon tea. After all, the British aristocrats' afternoon tea was boasted too much.

How to pretend to be a British aristocrat?

Start with an English afternoon tea.

In England, there is a saying that after drinking the right afternoon tea, the soul will bring its own fragrance.

Butler Paul stepped out of the door, and a waiter came in with a dining car. After greeting Arthur respectfully, the waiter pushed the dining car to the rest area of the study.

Arthur walked over and sat leisurely on the red velvet sofa, looking at the afternoon tea in the dining car with curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

White porcelain teapot with unique patterns, a cold milk cup, and a cup with a cup and saucer. This noble immediately understood, here can drink tea directly, also can be used to adjust Nai tea.

Next to it is an exquisite box with beautiful patterns. I think this is the famous jewelry box and dim sum.

"Today's tea is Darjeeling. Its soup color is orange, and its smell is fragrant and elegant. The top-grade tea has the flavor of Muscat grape. The taste is delicate and rouhe. It is known as" champagne in tea ". It is the representative of excellent tea

Paul, the Butler, stood beside Arthur and introduced with a smile on his face. Arthur nodded slightly, but his eyes were watching the smiling waiter pour him tea.

The waiter picked up the teapot and poured two-thirds of the tea into the cup. Then he looked up respectfully and asked, "count, do you want to add cow Nai?"

"Yes."

To get the answer, the waiter takes up the cow Nai cup and pours the cow Nai. Seeing Niu Nai bloom like white clouds, Arthur, a fake aristocrat, really felt that it was worthwhile to pay for the service of these people.

In this way, an English Nai tea is finished. Next, Arthur can add white granulated sugar according to his preference. However, the first time he drinks English Nai tea, which is too sweet, Arthur is worried that he can't stand it, so he plans to try it first.

Holding the handle of the tea cup with his fingers gracefully, he picked up the cup, and sipped a small sip of tea with his head down. Although he felt a little strange, Arthur, who had drunk all kinds of Nai tea in his previous life, could still accept it. After a few sips, he felt good.

Of course, an afternoon tea with its own fragrance can't be without snacks. Oh, no, it's a delicious snack in a jewelry box.

When the jewelry box came up, Arthur could not help becoming happy and looking forward to it. To tell you the truth, there is nothing like beautiful women and delicious food to bring people that kind of heartfelt pleasure.

The drawer of the box opened layer by layer, which surprised count Arthur.

There are four layers of tea in a jewelry box, from the bottom to the top, they are Sicon, salty, dessert, and finally several kinds of Italian desserts.

"The first layer is vanilla and cranberry flavored scones, the second layer is" mixed nut cheese bowl "," light roast eel and cucumber cup "," smoked salmon with butter toast ", the third layer is" chicken roll with mango crab fillet "," tuna Mousse with black and white toast "and the fourth layer is" fresh strawberry Japanese cheese cake "fans mascapenemus, mango mousse and berry ice cream mousse."The waiter showed the delicious snacks in the jewelry box one by one in front of the count. The exquisite snacks were very pleasing to the eyes.

"Well, in order to welcome you home for the first afternoon tea, James prepared for several hours, elaborately made." Paul, the Housekeeper on the side, explained with a smile.

"James Jones? Thank him for helping me Arthur nodded with a smile. He also understood the idea of his own cook. After all, he changed his employer, especially as a cook. If the food he cooked could not be recognized by his employer, he would be close to losing his job.

Arthur picks up a hot scone, cuts it with a knife, picks up a dressing knife, and starts to spread homemade cranberry jam and rich Nai oil on the two slices.

Then close it, take it to your mouth and take a bite. It tastes delicate and appetizing.

"Good, very delicious!"

eating delicious snacks, Arthur's eyes slightly lit, and no matter how stingy praise, at this point, he really do not know how to make complaints about the two goods, so happy top life not enjoy, run out to die, really is the head was caught by the door!

As soon as his appetite opened, Arthur couldn't stop. Then he ate a mixed nut cheese bowl. A whole piece of cheese was wrapped with a handful of nuts, cashew nuts, hazelnut and melon seeds. There were many kinds of them. Finally, he added a piece of preserved apricot.

A whole to eat, sour, sweet, salty, rich and rich flavor...

The smoked flavor of salmon is very strong. The toast is coated with salty and fragrant butter, and the surface is decorated with a thin layer of radish, which provides a little sweetness, which can be eaten in one breath, with a trace of freshness.

It's wrapped in chicken, crab fillet and fresh mango. Chicken is incomparably fresh, Nen. It can also be compared with crab fillet. The sweetness of mango improves the level of delicacy. It's an absolutely exquisite snack...

。。。。。。

When eating the fresh strawberry Japanese cheese cake, Arthur really fell in love with this kind of cake. The light cheese cake was fluffy like clouds, and the thin Nai oil was very fragrant, only slightly sweet. When a spoon was dug down, it was like eating delicious bubbles, and the entrance disappeared.

Best of today

Arthur ate happily and said to Paul, the housekeeper, that it was definitely the best food for the noble to eat all the snacks.

"Ha ha, I believe James will be very happy when he learns about it." Steward Paul looked at the count who was completely captured by delicious food. His face also showed a happy smile, and a pair of bright eyes twinkled with wisdom.

In this way, in a twinkling of an eye, a jewel box of afternoon tea was thus eaten by Arthur.

Full Arthur leaned back on the sofa and sighed, "it would be more wonderful if we had another cocktail or wine at this time."

"Oh, I'm sorry, count, you must not drink alcoholic beverages until the wound on your head is healed."

"Cough, I'm just feeling." Arthur coughed a little awkwardly, then said helplessly, but there was always a touch of sweet in the air. At this moment, Arthur's heart felt that such exquisite afternoon tea did not find a trace of memory from his predecessor's memory. Maybe that's what aristocratic life is like. He is used to all the high-level existence around him, which is not worth special memory.
