Chapter 337: Rotten Life
And there is also a flush toilet on one side of the bathroom, which is a miracle in the Indian countryside: Zhang Nan also deliberately glanced at the toilet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, there are rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom like the Taj Mahal Hotel, not a bucket and a water scoop.
Thankfully, the big bags of facial tissues in my luggage finally didn't have to be taken out.
It was about to take a bath, and Padida and the other manservant stood in the bathroom with a slight bent over respectfully, without the slightest intention of leaving.
Zhang Nan frowned, and said in a stiff tone: "I want to take a shower, don't take a bath, don't rub my back." ”
Now the two of them went out - the Indian landlord would have to be served in the toilet, sometimes two people: one and that, and the other hot towel ready... And Zhang Nan said a little harshly and the other party left, which is not bad, indicating that the Varma family is more open-minded.
Otherwise, in the normal and more feudal landlords' homes, if the servants did not fulfill their responsibilities when serving the guests, it would be normal for the lucky ones to be scolded by the master and beaten up; the unlucky ones would even be kicked out of the master's house, and even the village from which they came would not welcome those who were driven out by the master.
Those who have been servants for generations will be even worse - directly reduced to untouchables.
Of course, if the guest can help say a good word, the servant will usually be deducted from his salary and scolded for a foolish meal.
As soon as he turned on the faucet, Zhang Nan's whole person almost jumped up-cold and biting!
Sure enough, it was mountain spring water - there were two taps, and the other was hot water, and it had to be mixed together, and apparently there was a boiler room in the manor.
After washing, drying my hair with a hair dryer and putting on a pair of shorts, I wrapped myself in a bath towel and went out of the bathroom.
Well, the 8 servants are still there, and they are all still holding things in their hands.
Clothes, washbasins, towels...
"Forget it, let's be corrupt once. ”
Thinking in my heart, I enjoyed the service of the servants with peace of mind.
As Davenral Valma had just said, the leader Padida and several others had been trained to be his eldest son's personal servants since childhood, but since the eldest son had gone to England to study, Padida and the other servants had been driven back by his eldest son half a year later - so as not to be made fun of by his classmates.
In order for his son not to be ostracized by his British classmates, Davenral Valmar acquiesced in his son's decision.
Now Padida is a small head of servants in the manor, and this team of servants is in charge of serving Zhang Nan this time, which means that Zhang Nan himself can not do it without doing it, and let the servants do it for him.
Standing and dressing, first a T-shirt resembling a T-shirt, then a new set of light yellow Indian shirts resembling a short coat style, with intricate embroidery on the top.
Trousers of the same color, loose, with ruffles at the ankles, and a brand new pair of flats with embroidery and floral embellishments, without socks.
It's gorgeous, and when dressed neatly, it has the smell of aristocratic youth in Bollywood movies.
This is not something that ordinary Indians can wear, this style of clothing not only requires money, but also status to put on the body. Similar to the luxurious traditional clothing of the Indian aristocracy, Davenlar Varma had seven or eight sets of shoes sent by his servants, as well as five pairs of shoes.
Because he had just taken a shower and his feet were still a little wet, Zhang Nan sat on a chair wrapped in velvet and asked a maid to help him wipe his feet with a towel, and even wiped the seams of his feet one by one.
Dizzy, all evil feudal life!
Varma said on the plane that this trip is to enjoy the life of the locals, and it is best to change this costume.
It doesn't matter if you follow the customs, but where do the clothes come from?
Davenral Valma's two younger brothers are both over 1.8 meters tall, similar to Zhang Nan's figure, not to mention clothes, Zhang Nan can wear a lot of shoes - brand new, it is said that Davenral Valma and his younger brothers will order an incredible number of new clothes every year, some of which will be given to friends who come to visit.
Well, Zhang Nan's feet are not big, he is 1.82 meters tall, and his size 42 shoes are very standard, and he has a lot of choice.
Dressed up and going out, there is no need for all the bodyguards to follow here, only Alyosha and Lin Ming are waiting for themselves.
The two bodyguards changed their suits into loose T-shirts, which is also to take care of the face of the host's family - they still don't look good at other people's homes, so they try to be casual and feel at home.
Both of them had two Walter PPKs in their trouser pockets.
Alyosha was still holding a box in his hand, which was a gift that Zhang Nan temporarily decided to give to Old Valma, and did what he liked.
Because Nicole didn't come, Alice wore a gorgeous sari, wore a diamond necklace around her neck, and accompanied Zhang Nan to afternoon tea.
Without further ado, this was clearly a well-intentioned arrangement by Varma.
As for the necklace, Jenny's, it was lent to Alice at the reception. Later, Alice wanted to pay it back, but Jenny said: "Later, I can't guarantee what other activities I will participate in in India, and next time I have time to go to Tiffany & Co., we will choose one together." ”
This made Nicole and Jenny feel that women don't have any jewelry, and even Alice is also affordable.
Out of politeness, Alice took Zhang Nan's hand and went to the Sunshine Flower Room under the guidance of Padida.
"Boss, I wasn't used to it just now. ”
Walking in the palace-style corridor, hearing Alice say very softly, Zhang Nan smiled and replied softly: "Call me Allen, don't be the boss." Isn't it?"
As he spoke, he pointed to Padida, who was leading the way.
Alice was obviously very happy to hear Zhang Nan say this, and the name was kind. Seeing Zhang Nan's movements, he nodded violently.
"Eight maids served me, and even got dressed. I said no, I came by myself, but two of them knelt down and said that they would be punished if they didn't do their duty. ”
Okay, 8 maids, this is to entertain Alice as a VIP lady and female companion, Lin Ming and they only have a small attendant to serve, and as a result, the bodyguards are "sent out".
Valmar understood this, and did not punish the servants. But the people didn't leave, and those male servants had to follow Zhang Nan's bodyguards when they were dining and traveling, at least they could help lead the way in this big and somewhat surprising manor.
"It's good to get used to it, and so am I. Do you know how many servants there are?"
Alice shook her head.
"More than 500 people, not counting the people at the nearby racecourse. ”
Alice's mouth opened deliberately in surprise.
This is what Zhang Nan asked Padida just now, about 580 people.
As for the exact number, probably only the chief steward here knows, and even the masters of the Varmar family can't remember how many servants there are.
And Zhang Nan didn't say it yet: these 580 people are just those servants who have been hired for many years and have been attached to their ancestors for generations, and the people hired by the housekeeper temporarily are not counted - these people are not engaged in agricultural production, but are completely used to serve the Varma family.
