Chapter 445: To be a nobleman is to be noble
Thanks-"
Arthur, who was enjoying dinner with a knife and fork, smiled and said to Paul, the butler who was holding a crystal clear decanter bottle with white gloves and pouring red wine into a new empty wine glass.
"Please slow down—"
With an elegant smile, Paul poured the wine, put down the decanter bottle, took a step back, and watched his Count enjoy the newly served dishes and wine pairings.
On the table of the aristocracy, almost every dish will be paired with different wines, and the amount of wine is really not ordinary.
In fact, the amount of alcohol in a meal of European nobles is indeed very large, and usually this is completely handled by the butler. This includes wine selection, inventory management, food and wine pairing, and proper wine serving.
Of course, how many bottles of wine are in the wine cellar, what is the price, what is the drinking situation, etc., the housekeeper will register everything in detail, and it is one of the important tasks of the housekeeper to control the wine inventory at all times.
Of course, this also means that all the wine that the nobles drink has been confirmed by the butler in advance before ordering. Hehe, I have to say that being a housekeeper is also a happy thing, after all, the wine that the nobles drink is nothing extraordinary!
Some people may question that after a period of Western food, there are more than ten or twenty dishes, with so much wine, it is strange not to get drunk. Well, in this regard, Arthur can only say that there is no need to worry about this at all, because each glass of wine is only the amount of one or two sips, and it is just a matter of tasting it.
It is worth mentioning that, in general, there are as many decanters as there are bottles, because Paul the butler almost never pours wine directly from the bottle, whether it is wine, cognac or whisky, it is always poured from the decanter or other delicate containers.
Therefore, for the aristocracy, some people envy and hate, and some people think it is boring, because the daily task of the nobles is to go for a walk outdoors, hunt or ride a horse, and of course, wear gorgeous and elegant dresses to attend various celebrity banquets, and eat and drink four meals a day.
After Arthur had enjoyed a sumptuous French meal, he lit a cigar comfortably, and smiled at Paul, the butler standing aside, "Seriously, it's not as good as at home." ”
"Your house is your castle, and a snail without a shell is like a home without your own. The walls of the home give people comfort, tranquility and security. Paul, the butler, smiled and uttered an English proverb. "Since you're tired from running around outside, Lord this time, you should stay at home for a while and take a rest. ”
"Hehe, as much as I would love to stay at home, there are so many things that I can't stop. Arthur shook his head and smiled wryly and exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the butler Paul and continued: "I am leaving for the United States soon. ”
"America?" muttered the butler Paul with a slight frown, a look of disdain on his face, although it was only a fleeting moment, but Arthur still caught it. "The people there are arrogant and rude, and they speak English with grammatical errors... ”
In this regard, Arthur also shook his head and laughed in his heart, an old-school English gentleman like the butler Paul, who is immersed in the afterglow of the British diguo, has a great prejudice against the rude, uneducated, and tasteless United States.
Well, I have to say that a lot of British people generally don't think much of Americans, British people are more low-key and pragmatic, and they hate people who feel good about themselves and talk too much, and these Americans basically account for all of them.
And the American honey is confident, loves to brag, likes to tell jokes, and the tone and words are very arrogant, and many things will eventually be related to "Bald Eagle is the chosen country" and "Bald Eagle is the first in the world". This is very annoying and terrible in the eyes of the British, with the idea of a sandy ground pot.
What's even more frustrating is that the British generally believe that stupid people and geniuses are found in every society, but there are many in the United States...
In fact, most British people seem to look down on Americans and often complain that they are rude and uneducated, but in fact they pay a lot of attention to the United States, from current political news to leisure and entertainment.
On the contrary, Americans do not pay attention to how the British think and do, and they do not deliberately observe and think in daily life, not a joke, and even many Americans do not know where Britain is, and the most shocking thing is that there are Americans who are very surprised that Britain also speaks English...
Well, this is really nothing new for the arrogant bald eagles, because they only care about themselves and have no interest or time to learn about the world outside the United States, because in their opinion, there are only bald eagles in the world!
Even some Americans who know Britain are mostly shaped by the bias of the media. For example, American popular culture always emphasizes British history and wangshi culture, and many Americans worship the castle culture of Europe, thinking that modern British people still live in medieval castles, calling a dozen servants with a straight face.
Many Americans get off the plane and are surprised to find that Britain is a modern country, London is a modern city, and British people are smiling and not always smiling... For example, there is also McDonald's in the UK...
Therefore, Bald Eagle has a prejudiced perception of all countries and people except their own country, basically what the media promotes, they think, anyway, they don't care, so they always seem stupid.
As for the English language, in the eyes of an Englishman like Paul, the butler, there is only one English in the world, and that is English and other grammatical errors.
Well, Arthur also had to have a headache about language, because the difference between English and American is actually much bigger than imagined, maybe bigger than the difference between Mandarin and Qiong Yao drama.
"I went there to make money, and I bought a mansion in Los Angeles and never looked at it, but this time I happened to have a place to live. Arthur explained with a smile.
"That's it... The butler Paul groaned, and immediately proposed: "Lord, let me arrange for two people to go to the United States with you, and let them follow you, so that I can rest assured that when I arrive in the United States, I cannot rest assured that they will help you recruit maids and waiters, and hand over your food, clothing, shelter and transportation to the rude Americans." ”
"Huh. Well, you look at the arrangement. Looking at the housekeeper Paul's serious face, Arthur did not refuse, he did not want to refuse, to be honest, he still had his own people by his side, which was more comfortable and convenient.
"By the way, there is also a security problem, I need to add three more bodyguards to you, the Americans are a bunch of barbarians who advocate violence, everyone has qiang... Lord, I'm sorry, I lost the company first, I'm going to arrange an entourage for you right away. ”
The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched, looking at Paul, the housekeeper who saluted him elegantly, and then left quickly, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head helplessly and smiled, Okay, happy bald eagle, qiang hits every day, it is indeed to improve the security level.
When Arthur looked at the security team that had become six people two days later, plus three men and three women of waiters, the entourage of maids, and large bags and small bags, a dozen suitcases, he was really speechless.
There was no way, he originally planned to take an international flight, so he could only choose to charter a private jet and fly to Los Angeles.
On a private jet to San Francisco, Arthur became intrigued by the plane's real and strange flight path, as his plane had to turn around in San Francisco before landing in Los Angeles.
For this reason, Arthur asked the tall and beautiful uniform flight attendant why he didn't fly straight to Los Angeles, and after the flight attendant's sweet explanation, Arthur suddenly realized.
To understand the airplane's route and explain it, you need another kind of map, which is the map of horizon mode.
This map is centered on the North Pole. Flatness maps are almost a thousand years old and are still used as official maps by the United States Geological Survey, as well as the emblem of organizations such as the United Nations, the International Civil Aviation Organization, and the International Maritime Organization.
According to the map of horizon mode, a non-stop flight to San Francisco is the shortest straight line.
Well, think that all teachers teach like this, the earth is a sphere, not a flat ground. However, in the real world, airplane routes tell us that the earth is not a sphere, it is a flat earth...
Eleven hours later, Arthur, who was asleep, was softly awakened by the attendant who accompanied him, telling him that he had half an hour to arrive in Los Angeles.
Arthur, who took off his blindfold and yawned, lifted the quilt, and waited for the maid to put on his slippers before he went down to the ground and did a few stretches, walked to the bathroom, and washed up.
When he came out of washing, the maid had already prepared a suit shirt made of light and high-end fabrics for him, and dressed under the maid's intimate service, Arthur left the bedroom and walked to the living room cabin in the middle.
To be honest, when he first came to this world, Arthur was a little uncomfortable with the luxurious life of the aristocracy, such as the maid serving on the side, buttoning, wearing slippers, tying shoes, tying a tie, etc., which made him very awkward.
Especially early in the morning, you must know that the maids selected by the housekeeper Paul, although they are not beautiful women, but they are all delicate facial features and tall and graceful, so it is inevitable to be a little embarrassed by such a sense of distance.
It's just that when he realizes that he is the only one who feels embarrassed, he doesn't care, because, the two personal maids arranged for him by the housekeeper Paul have an all-encompassing range of work...
Aristocrat!
Sure enough, the truly extravagant aristocratic life is not a feast that can be compared to ...
Spring, a season of vitality. Everything grows, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the most beautiful season of the year.
Step out of the cabin, breathe in the fresh air, soak up the bright sunshine, and feel the charm of spring in Los Angeles!
Sunshine in California.
With his feet on the soil of Los Angeles, Arthur took a deep breath as he looked at the ten black Ford SUVs not far from the tarmac and the smiling American subordinates who were hurrying up to meet them.
Hollywood, I'm here, while enjoying the bright spring light, let's make it together!
The American Dream is like a cinnabar mole in everyone's heart, whether you like this country or not, you can't resist its YOUHUO.
