Chapter 256: Knocking

"I haven't explained to you before, but the wines in the cellar are not produced in different places, and there are all kinds of wines, and the only thing in common is that they are basically twenty years old. Today I recommend this bottle, Golden Whisky, which has a mellow aroma, a clear taste, and a moderate intensity, which is very suitable for accompaniment to meals. ”

At this time, the young man was already sitting in the front of the dining room, a napkin firmly tied to his chest by the servant, and a knife, fork, cup and saucer had been placed in advance. On the table with dining cloths and flowers in front of them, servants pushed small dining carts and placed porcelain plates with silver domed lids.

Such a scene reminded him of the scene in his previous life when a family of relatives who were searching for a happy event and forcibly dragged him to have dinner at a luxury hotel after graduation. For such a meal, the salary that I just received in the first month is only a fraction of the money.

Hey, the past is unbearable, it's all tears!

Wiping away a tear that didn't exist, the young man looked at the bottle of golden ale in the butler's hand, and laughed suddenly: "Come on, come on, pour a glass and I'll taste it!"

Who doesn't love good wine? He asked himself that in his previous life, in addition to the white wine like chili water, he would not refuse other fine wines. Now that I'm in a different world, I haven't drunk wine for more than a year, and at first glance, I don't want to be greedy? In a blink of an eye, I threw the bittersweet energy of the memory just now out of the clouds.

The butler did as he was told, took the tool and uncorked it, and filled the wine glass in front of the boy with a deep and dissatisfied pool of wine.

The young man picked up the wine glass and brought it close to his mouth, only then did he smell a mellow aroma of wine that did not disperse. The aroma rushed straight to his head, causing a lot of cravings in his stomach, and he immediately stopped hesitating, poured the wine glass and drank it all.

"Huh?!" the young man stared, and subconsciously turned over and over to look at the remaining wine in the glass, "This wine is lighter than I imagined, but it is very refreshing and delicious, as if there is nothing, appetizing at the same time, it makes people have a sense of dissatisfaction, loss and emptiness, so that I always want to eat something to stuff my mouth and press my stomach, and wait to experience that sense of reality, and then I can drink the second cup with satisfaction." Yes, it's a good accompaniment. ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper's eyes suddenly lit up.

"In a word, you are really a wine connoisseur! It is an honor to meet you in the cellar of the manor!"

From being received by the captain of the guards, to being praised heartily at this moment, enjoying it all the way, the young man couldn't hold back anymore, and showed the happiest smile since he came to another world.

He laughed and hurriedly waved his hand.

"I can't call it a name, I'm just talking about my feelings honestly. ”

"You're too modest. The housekeeper rarely looked up to the young man a little highly, and he was no longer so polite when he spoke, "As soon as the appetite is opened, let's dine!"

After speaking, without waiting for the boy to respond, the butler refilled a glass of wine, put down the wine bottle and clapped his hands, and the two girls who had been standing on the side earlier stepped forward and lifted the lid of the porcelain plate in front of the young man.

As soon as the lid was opened, the thick steaming mist dispersed before the dish appeared. For a moment, the smell of food wafted through the room.

"Uncover them all, uncover them all!" With the keen senses of the great knight, hearing the suppressed swallowing sound of the two girls, the young man smiled and beckoned, "Find two more seats, everyone sits together, and eats together!"

Hearing the young man say this, the eyes of the two girls lit up, but the housekeeper smiled a little reluctantly.

"Mr. Dickens. He used the honorific title again, "We have a special working meal, you can just eat." ”

As soon as he expressed his refusal, the two women retracted violently as if they had been electrocuted as if they had just stepped towards the vacant chair next to him.

At this time, the young man was not in a hurry to eat, he put down his knife and fork, and smiled inexplicably: "I have a question, who is the owner of the manor?"

"It's you, naturally. The corners of the butler's mouth twitched, "However, the rules are the rules, this is not our time and place, even if it is placed among the royal family and nobles, it is better than that." ”

Hearing this, the young man turned his head and looked seriously at the middle-aged butler next to him for the first time, who was neatly dressed and his hair was meticulously combed. He could see the other party's persistence in the latter's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this housekeeper is still old-fashioned. After the two girls, another person refreshed the perception of the teenager.

He thought for a moment, then smiled.

"And what if I stand by my claim?"

As soon as these words came out, the two girls buried their heads and did not dare to come out.

The scene was rigid for a while, and the butler's face became more and more angry.

After a moment of suppressed silence, he spoke.

"Then I can only say sorry and resign from the position of butler. ”

Having said that, it is like being on the edge of a cliff, and it seems that the situation will become out of control in the next second. The two girls had never seen this battle, and their legs and stomachs had already begun to tremble.

In this atmosphere of dead silence to the point of despair, the young man suddenly smiled, like a spring breeze melting the ice, making the silent restaurant a little more alive. The two girls took a breath and immediately looked at the young man, hoping that he would breathe a sigh of relief.

"And one more question, what if I split you apart and then ask the two of them to dine with me without your knowledge?" said the boy.

This time, the butler answered very quickly.

"Well, it's not my business. ”

"Ha, it seems that you are not really a tendon! ”

Things seemed to ease up at this point, but as soon as the two women's eyes showed a look of relief, they saw the young man drink a full glass of wine again, and suddenly stood up.

"I'm done, and the rest is the working meal for the three of you. As he spoke, he didn't care about the reaction of the housekeeper whose face was suddenly ugly, and pulled him to sit on his seat, "In my hometown, there is a word called sitting on pins and needles, and today, I want you to deeply understand the meaning of this word." ”

After speaking, he ignored the three people with stiff bodies and complicated expressions, and left the restaurant directly.

This housekeeper is good, everything is arranged, so that he can rest assured, and he is really reluctant to drive away. It's just that the manor has been in a state of no owner for a long time, and he has been directing affairs for a long time, and he likes to make his own decisions in everything, and this tendency needs to be changed as soon as possible.

It seems that you are not the only one who needs to change your mentality, so take your time.

Thinking all the way, the boy walked into a palatial bedroom, and as soon as he jumped up, he let himself sink into a fluffy and soft warm velvet quilt.

Feeling the lazy atmosphere that filled the whole bedroom, as soon as he let go of the guard he had been on for days, drowsiness swelled up like a tide, and the boy thought wildly, and soon fell asleep.
