Chapter 105: Caroline's Day
The world is different in everyone's eyes.
In Li Shenzhi's eyes, the world is full of malice.
In Caroline's eyes, the world is sprinkled with sunshine, after she meets Mr. Landon Darius.
At this moment, she was standing quietly in front of the bathroom door, a gray tweed trench coat on the crook of her arm.
"Kada!"
The bathroom door opened, and Mr. Langdon, dressed in a white shirt and twill vest, walked out.
Caroline hurriedly approached, unfurled her trench coat, and helped her employer put it on.
"Mr. Langdon, today's breakfast is curry rice and foie gras pie, what would you like to drink?"
"Let's get a coffee!"
"Okay."
"By the way, I don't need to prepare lunch today."
Li Shenyi commanded while putting on his coat.
He plans to treat his subordinates today.
During this time, his subordinates were tired and miserable, and now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and as the chief of security, they should also behave.
"Yes, Mr. Langdon."
Caroline bowed, wondering what she should do if she didn't have to prepare lunch.
No one knew that even though she was promoted to butler, she still personally prepared three meals for the Lord Mr. Langdon.
Of course, with a kitchen maid, she doesn't have to do everything herself.
For example, the most troublesome and painstaking handling of ingredients can be handed over to other servants.
She only needs to take care of the cooking process.
In fact, she could have given these to the kitchen maid, but she was a little uneasy after all.
Because Mr. Langdon is very picky about tastes, especially fond of all kinds of spices, and has strict requirements for the use of various spices.
Such as:
He doesn't like to mix onions with vegetarian dishes, but he likes to add plenty of diced onions to meat products, especially barbecued meats.
In addition, he has little interest in beer.
When you eat barbecue food for dinner, you occasionally have a drink.
Most of the time, they prefer to drink rice milk, milk, coffee, tea, and cocoa.
This kind of life is a luxury!
Because many drinks are imported products, they are very expensive.
Especially in the remote town of Centreria, the price is higher than that of Tudor.
By the way, Mr. Langdon loves milk, but he doesn't like milk custard, a food made with onions and tripe in milk and simmered over the fire.
Caroline remembered such details well, but for the other servants, it was complicated.
Because it's not simply a dislike of a certain ingredient, it's a dislike of a certain ingredient in a particular ingredient.
This undoubtedly adds to the difficulty.
Caroline remembered this tirelessly, and there was actually a little bit of joy in her heart.
Because the more she grasps the employer's preferences, the more stable her position becomes.
In fact, as a housekeeper, she has exposed her lack of professional ability.
For example, what may seem like the simplest laundry job is actually quite complicated.
Mr. Langdon's clothes are becoming more expensive, delicate and complex, so they are very demanding and the process is more stringent.
Sizing, tendoning, pleating...... There's no room for error every step of the way.
In the beginning, because she did not understand these details, she hired ordinary laundry workers at will, and as a result, she washed several of Mr. Langdon's clothes.
She thought it was the servant's problem, but as luck would have it, she learned the details of the laundry from another servant who had served a wealthy merchant.
- Poor God, she used to work in the Earl's Court, and she didn't know these details at all.
She knew that upper-class families would arrange special laundry rooms, and she had also passed by and seen the staggering amount of equipment inside: copper stoves, sinks, laundry buckets, cloth machines, ironing rooms, caster drying closets......
At that time, she didn't think much about it, she just thought that there were many people in the earl's family.
Now I know that there are so many cats in it.
Fortunately, Mr. Langdon did not blame her, otherwise those few washed clothes would have been worth most of her salary.
In short, there are more and more similar details.
She can also only learn by stumbling.
Still, even so, life is still good.
After all, no matter how hard you study, it is much more comfortable than hard work.
She was also secretly glad that Mr. Langdon was not a nobleman with stricter rules, otherwise these mistakes would have swept her away.
Back to business.
After Mr. Langdon had breakfast, Caroline remembered what to do this morning.
"Mr. Langdon, I want to take a half-day off, my sister has found a job in a private clinic, I want to go over and check it out." Caroline asked.
"Johnny's private practice?" Li Shenzhi recalled for a moment and asked.
"Yes."
"Go ahead, it's not a holiday." Li Shenzhi said.
"Thank you, Mr. Langdon."
Caroline was pleasantly surprised: "By the way, Mr. Langdon, it has cooled down again today, and a cold wind is blowing outside, so I have prepared a high wool blanket in the carriage, hoping to make you feel a little more comfortable." ”
Li Shenzhi nodded: "I have a heart." ”
At the same time, the servant pushed open the door, and the biting cold wind swept into the villa.
Li Shenzhi lifted his bowler hat and walked out of the villa.
His coachman had already stopped at the gate of the courtyard in a four-wheeled carriage.
When he came out, the groom hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and opened the door.
Caroline stood in the cold wind and watched Mr. Langdon's carriage go away until it disappeared around the corner of the street, and then she was ready to turn back to the villa.
No, the moment she turned around, two knights suddenly appeared around the corner of the street!
In this age of machinery and steam, can you still see knights?
It's just amazing!
Caroline glanced curiously.
This glance surprised her.
Because of the two knights' iconic attire, they were the royal guards of Ingleson.
What shocked her even more was that the two knights actually stopped in front of the courtyard gate.
Among them, a knight in a bearskin hat asked aloud, "This lady, is this the mansion of the sheriff of Landon Darius?" ”
This inquiry surprised Caroline, and she hurriedly replied: "Yes, sir, I am Mr. Langdon's butler, how can I help you?" ”
When the knight heard this, he immediately turned over and dismounted, walked up to Caroline, and said, "Please inform Mr. Langdon that the Lord of Ceremonies, Earl Chebman, is about to visit." ”
"What's the matter? I'm good to report to Mr. Langdon. Caroline asked, the knight's bearskin top hat giving her a great sense of oppression.
"Regarding the invitation to Mr. Langdon to the Honours Ceremony."
"May I ask whose honorific ceremony it is?"
Caroline asked hurriedly, her heart pounding.
No matter how little she has seen, she understands what the "award ceremony" means? What's more, she also served the Earl's Court.
I never thought that Mr. Langdon, who served as the chief of security in a small town, was also qualified to participate in the aristocratic event.
"Haha...... Mr. Langdon, of course. ”
"Ugh!"
Caroline's eyes widened suddenly, and her heartbeat almost skipped a beat: "What do you mean...... Mr. Langdon wants to ...... Accept the Queen's ...... Honours? ”
At this moment, a short sentence almost exhausted Caroline's courage.
Because it was so ridiculous, she was even worried about whether she would be laughed at when she asked to speak.
