I Am a Nobleman in England

"Ok--"

Arthur stood up from the boss chair, moved his arms and cervical spine, and typing for four hours made his strong body feel a little stiff and tired. There is no way, after all, not everyone can get used to sitting in front of the computer and typing in one posture.

Going around the desk, I walked to the large arched window where the setting sun slanted in, looking out the window at the woods and grass slopes that were dyed orange red by the setting sun, and the ripples blown by the wind in the distant lake were like It was sprinkled with gold powder, shining golden bo light.

"It's such a beautiful place!" Arthur said to himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Today he just walked around the main garden area of ​​the manor. There are still many places that he hasn't visited. Sit by the lake and feed the ducks. . . Roll on the grass.

Many thoughts emerged in his mind, and Arthur couldn't help sighing, living here, you can spend the day happily and easily doing whatever you want. No wonder, living in the country and owning a manor is the most popular thing for British people. Ideal lifestyle.

"call--"

Arthur raised his arms, stretched his waist, and walked leisurely to the dressing mirror beside the study, looking at himself in the mirror, the bandages and net cap on his head made him look a little funny, but handsome His facial features, coupled with a pair of blue eyes, saved his image a lot.

He can be regarded as a typical British handsome guy, but he lacks a bookish and aristocratic atmosphere, and some are just a simple handsome, with a hint of rebelliousness.

Arthur stretched out his hand to touch the hair that had grown a little, and sighed softly. As an Englishman, the most important thing to worry about is his hairline. He will not shave his head even if he is killed. From now on, he will I am worried that I will inevitably become bald in England. If I am really bald, a few strands of hair will be messed up in the wind. . . Arthur couldn't help but shuddered, his face was pulled, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Boom——

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study room, and when Arthur turned to look at the door, the door was pushed open, and the butler Paul walked in gracefully and calmly, bowed slightly to him, and said with a smile: "Earl, afternoon tea Time is up."

"Yeah." Arthur nodded slightly. To be honest, he was also very much looking forward to seeing the afternoon tea at the earl's house. After all, the afternoon tea of ​​the British aristocrats was boasted too much.

How to pretend to be an English aristocrat with a serious face?

Start with a cup of English afternoon tea.

There is a saying in England, that is, if you drink the right afternoon tea, your soul will have its own aroma.

The housekeeper Paul stepped aside from the door, and then a waiter walked in pushing a dining cart. After the waiter greeted 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 in the dining car with curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

A white porcelain teapot with fancy patterns, a cold milk cup, and a teacup with saucer. The nobleman immediately understood that here you can drink tea directly, or use it to make NAI tea.

Next to it is an exquisite sapphire blue box with a beautiful pattern. I think this is the famous jewelry box snack.

"Today's tea is Darjeeling. Its tea is orange-yellow in color and has a fragrant and elegant smell. The top grade is especially muscadine-flavored, with a delicate and soft taste. It is known as "champagne in tea" and is a representative of the best tea..."

The butler, Paul, stood beside Arthur and introduced with a smile on his face. Arthur nodded slightly, but looked seriously at the smiling waiter pouring him tea.

The waiter picked up the teapot and poured two-thirds of the tea into the cup, then raised his head respectfully and asked, "Count, do you want to add milk?"

"Can."

After getting the answer, the waiter picked up the milk cup and poured the milk. Watching the nipples bloom like white clouds,

It made Arthur, a fake aristocrat, really feel that it was worth spending money to hire these people to serve him.

In this way, a serving of English nai tea is complete, and then Arthur can add white sugar according to his preference, but it is the first time to drink English nai tea, it is too sweet, Arthur is worried that he can't stand it, so Going to try it first.

Elegantly pinching the handle of the teacup with his fingers, he picked up the teacup, lowered his head, 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, was still able to accept it and took a few sips , but it feels good.

Of course, an afternoon tea with its own aroma cannot be without snacks, oh no, it is to taste the exquisite snacks served in a jewelry box.

When the jewelry box was served, Arthur couldn't help but become cheerful and looking forward to it. To be honest, there is nothing like beauty and food that can bring people that kind of heartfelt pleasure.

The drawers of the box were opened layer by layer, which surprised Earl Arthur.

A jewelry box afternoon tea has four layers, from bottom to top, they are scones, savory, dessert, and the last layer is several Italian desserts.

"The first layer is scones with vanilla flavor and cranberry flavor, the second layer is "Assorted Nut Cheese Bowl", "Teriyaki Eel and Cucumber Cup" "Smoked Salmon with Butter Toast", the third layer is "Mango Crab Willow Chicken Roll' "Tuna Fish Mousse with Black and White Toast" The fourth layer is "Fresh Strawberry Japanese Cheesecake" Mascarpone Mousse", "Mango Mousse" and "Berry Ice Cream Mousse".

The waiter displayed all the gourmet snacks in the jewelry box in front of the earl one by one. The exquisite snacks are pleasing to the eye.

"Hehe, in order to welcome you back home for the first afternoon tea, James has prepared for several hours and made it carefully." Paul, the butler beside him, explained with a smile.

"James Jones? Help me thank him." Arthur nodded with a smile. He also understood the thoughts of his own chef. After all, he changed to a new employer, especially as a chef. If the food he cooks cannot be recognized by the employer, Then, it is not far from unemployment.

Arthur picked up a warm scone, cut it open with a knife, picked up a spreader knife, and began to spread homemade cranberry jam and fragrant nai oil on the two pancakes.

Then close it, bring it to your mouth, take a bite, the taste is mianruan and delicate, very appetizing.

“Not bad, very tasty!”

Eating the delicious snacks, Arthur's eyes lit up slightly, and he praised without hesitation. At this moment, he really didn't know how to complain about the bastard of his predecessor. If he didn't enjoy such a happy top-level life, he would run out to die , It's really that the head was caught by the door!

As soon as his appetite started, Arthur couldn't stop. Then he ate a mixed nut cheese bowl, a whole piece of cheese wrapped in a small handful of nuts, cashew nuts, hazelnuts and melon seeds. There were many kinds, and a piece of dried apricot was added at the end.

Eat it whole, it is sweet and sour and salty, rich and full-bodied. . .

The smoky flavor of the salmon is very strong, the toast is coated with salty butter, and the surface is dotted with a thin layer of radish to provide a hint of sweetness, and it is eaten in one breath, with a touch of refreshing in the richness.

Crepe wrapped chicken, crab stick, fresh mango. The chicken is extremely fresh, and it can also be compared with crab sticks. The sweetness of mango improves the level of umami. It is an absolutely exquisite dim sum. . .

. . . . . .

When eating fresh strawberry Japanese cheesecake, Arthur really fell in love with this taste of cake. The light cheesecake is as fluffy as a cloud, and the thin NAI oil is very fragrant, with only a slight sweetness. Going down is like eating fragrant and delicious bubbles, and the entrance is gone.

“Best of the day!”

While eating happily, Arthur said to the butler Paul that it was definitely the best food for all the dim sum this nobleman had.

"Hehe, I believe that James will be very happy when he finds out." The butler Paul looked at the earl who was completely captured by the food, with a happy smile on his face, and a pair of bright eyes shone with wisdom.

Just like that, in a blink of an eye, the afternoon tea in a jewelry box was eaten up by Arthur.

Arthur, who was full, leaned on the sofa and sighed: "It would be even more wonderful if I had another cocktail or fruit wine at this time."

"Hehe, I'm sorry Earl, before the injury on your head heals, you are forbidden to drink alcoholic beverages."

"Ahem, I'm just feeling emotional." Arthur said helplessly after coughing twice in embarrassment, but there was always a hint of sweetness floating in the air. At this moment, Arthur felt sincerely in his heart, such an exquisite afternoon tea, did not find a trace of memory from the memory of his predecessor, maybe the life of the aristocracy is probably like this, he is accustomed to all the high-level existence around him, and it is not worth special memory Bar.
