"Hmm-"

Arthur stood up from the boss's chair and moved his arms and cervical spine, and four hours of continuous typing made his muscular body feel a little stiff and tired. No way, after all, not everyone can get used to sitting in front of the computer and typing in one position all the time.

Bypassing the desk, I walked to the large arched window where the setting sun shone in obliquely, and looked out the window at the woods and grassy slopes that were soaked in orange and red by the setting sun, and the ripples in the wind in the distant lake, as if they were sprinkled with gold dust and shining with golden boo.

"What a beautiful place!" Arthur said to himself with a smile on his lips, today he just hurried around the main garden area of the manor, there are still many places that have not been visited, and there is no time to go to the woods in a hurry, sitting by the lake and feeding the ducks... Roll on the grass.

Many thoughts came to mind, Arthur couldn't help but sigh, living here, really do something casually, you can spend the day happily and easily, no wonder, living in the country, owning a manor, is the most ideal way of life for the British.

"Whew-"

Arthur raised his arms, stretched his waist, and leisurely walked to the coat mirror on the side of the study, 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, coupled with a pair of blue eyes, saved his image a lot.

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

Arthur reached out and touched the hair that grew a little, and sighed lightly, as a British, the most important thing to worry about is his hairline, he will not shave his head again, from now on, he is worried about whether he will inevitably become British bald, if he is really bald, a few strands of hair are messy in the wind... Arthur couldn't help but shudder, his face tugged, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Knock Knock –

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study, and when Arthur turned to look at the door, the door was pushed open, and the butler Paul walked in gracefully and calmly, bowed to him slightly, and smiled: "Earl, it's tea time." ”

"Hmm. Arthur nodded slightly, to be honest, he was also very much looking forward to seeing the afternoon tea of the earl's house, after all, the afternoon tea of the British nobles was boasted too much.

How to pretend to be a British nobleman in all seriousness?

Start with a cup of English afternoon tea.

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

Paul, the butler, stepped out of the way, and then a waiter walked in with a dining cart, and after greeting Arthur respectfully, the waiter 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 anticipation in his eyes.

A white porcelain teapot with a unique pattern, a cold milk cup, and a teacup with cups and saucers. The nobleman immediately understood that he could drink tea directly here, and it could also be used to mix NAI tea.

Next to it is a delicate box with a beautiful pattern in sapphire blue, which is a famous jewelry box pastry.

"Today's tea is Darjeeling, its soup color is orange yellow, the smell is fragrant and elegant, the top grade is especially with the smell of muscat grapes, the taste is delicate and rouge, known as "champagne in tea", is the representative of good tea... ”

Paul, the butler, stood beside Arthur and introduced with a smile on his face, Arthur nodded slightly, but his eyes were serious as he watched the smiling waiter pour 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 Niu NAI?"

"Yes. ”

After receiving the answer, the waiter picked up the cow NAI cup and poured it into the cow nai. Watching the cow nai bloom like a white cloud made Arthur, an impostor aristocrat, really think that it was worth paying to hire these people to serve them.

In this way, a British NAI tea is completed, and then Arthur can add white sugar according to his preferences, but the first time he drank British NAI tea, it was too sweet, and Arthur was worried that he couldn't stand it, so he planned to taste it first.

Elegantly pinched the handle of the teacup with his fingers, picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a shallow sip of tea, and tasted it, although it felt a little weird, but Arthur, who had drunk various NAI teas in his previous life, was still able to accept it, and after a few sips, it felt good.

Of course, an afternoon tea with its own aroma is naturally indispensable for dim sum, oh no, it is a beautiful dim sum served in a jewelry box.

When the jewelry box was served, Arthur couldn't help but feel happy and look forward to it. Truth be told, there's nothing like beauty and good food to bring that heartfelt pleasure.

The drawers of the box were opened layer by layer, much to the surprise of Earl Arthur.

A jewel box afternoon tea has four layers, from bottom to top, which are scones, savoury pastries, desserts, and the last layer is several Italian desserts.

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

The waiter displayed all the gourmet snacks in the jewelry box in front of the earl, and the delicate snacks were pleasing to the eye.

"Hehe, James has been preparing for hours to welcome your first afternoon tea home, carefully crafting. Paul, the butler on the side, explained with a smile.

"James Jones? Arthur smiled and nodded, he also understood the idea of his own chef, after all, it was a new employer, especially as a chef, if the food he made could not be recognized and favored by the employer, then he would not be far from unemployment.

Arthur picked up a piece of hot scone cake, cut it with a knife, and then picked up a sauce knife and began to spread homemade cranberry jam and fragrant NAI oil on each of the two petals.

Then I closed it, brought it to my mouth, and took a bite, and the taste was delicate and very appetizing.

"Yes, very tasty!"

Eating 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 second goods of his predecessor, he didn't enjoy such a happy top life, and ran out to die, his head was really caught by the door!

As soon as his appetite was on, Arthur couldn't stop, and then he ate a mixed nut cheese bowl, a whole piece of cheese wrapped in a small handful of nuts, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, melon seeds, many varieties, and finally a piece of dried apricots.

Eat it whole, sweet, sour and salty, rich and rich in taste...

The salmon has a strong smoky flavor, 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 go, with a hint of freshness in the richness.

Crepes are wrapped in chicken, crab sticks, fresh mangoes. The chicken is extremely fresh, and the crab fillet can also be compared with the umami, and the sweetness of the mango improves the level of umami, an absolutely exquisite dim sum.

。。。。。。

When eating fresh strawberry Japanese cheesecake, Arthur really fell in love with this flavor of cake, the light cheesecake was fluffy like a cloud, the dilute NAI oil was very fragrant, only slightly sweet, a spoonful of digging down like eating fragrant and delicious bubbles, the mouth melted away.

"Best of the Day!"

Arthur was happily eating, and said to Paul, the butler on the side, that it was definitely the best food for this nobleman to eat all the dim sum.

"Hehe, I believe James will definitely be very happy when he learns about it. Paul, the butler, looked at the Count, who had been completely captive of the food, and a happy smile appeared on his face, and his bright eyes shone with wisdom.

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

Arthur, who was well fed, leaned back on the sofa and exclaimed, "It would be even better if there was another cocktail or cider at this time." ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry Count, but you are not allowed to drink alcohol until you have recovered from the wound on your head. ”

"Ahem, I just sighed. Arthur coughed a little embarrassedly and said helplessly, but there was always a hint of sweetness wafting in the air. Arthur sighed heartily at this moment, such an exquisite afternoon tea, and did not find a trace of memory from the memory of his predecessor, maybe aristocratic life is probably like this, he is accustomed to all the high-level existences around him, and it is not worth remembering in particular.
