I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 17 In order to wash white, only the halo can be added!

Upstairs is honored by the earl, and downstairs is the house of the butler.

With the decline of the British aristocracy, the number of servants gradually decreased, and the life of the Bolling family gradually changed.However, there are still 15 waiters and maids in Boleyn Manor at present. They have a clear division of labor and perform their respective duties, which are insurmountable.

No matter how the times change, the Boleyn family has always adhered to its own standards, and the butler Paul, as always, takes care of the family members' daily lives and strictly manages everything.

To be honest, Arthur was thinking about one problem all the way to and from the restaurant, and that was the quality of lunch. To be honest, during the hospitalization period, he really hurt the British'food'.

In England, the average wealthy family tends to have four meals a day, namely breakfast, lunch, refreshments and dinner.Most people pay more attention to three meals a day, namely breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.

Breakfast is mostly cereal, ham and eggs, and bread coated with NAI oil or orange jam.Lunch is served at about 13:00, usually cold meats and cold dishes, such as potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots...Cold dishes made.And drink tea at lunch, generally do not drink alcohol.

Generally speaking, the British are not good at cooking.In their view, the pros and cons of housewives lie in their ability to open various cans, rather than their ability to cook.Therefore, in the UK, simple fast food is the most popular.For many British people, deep-fried fish is a high-class dish.

For a country where fried potatoes are hard dishes and fried fish are high-end dishes, what can you expect?

Fortunately, when the lunch came, Arthur was relieved. Although his cook was a British cook, there was an Italian chef who made good Italian dishes.

Fried steak, grilled lamb chops on the bone and cookies, biscuits and cheese...

"Eating phase" can represent a person's education and connotation.

It must be admitted that in terms of table manners, few other countries can match Britain.

Both nobles and ordinary people have been well-educated in table manners since childhood, and learned strict dining etiquette.Most people usually don't talk loudly or shout loudly. Quiet and courteous dining is the norm.

For example, now, Arthur, who is almost holding on, sits upright, his back cannot touch the chair, and his elbows cannot be placed on the table.No matter how crumbly and fragile the food is, it should not be eaten on the plate with your head down....Except for soup.

After eating the last dish, Arthur put the knife and fork together on the plate. At this moment, the waiter standing beside smiled and walked forward and removed the tableware.

Paul, the butler who had been standing next to Arthur, stepped forward, picked up the exquisite teapot, and poured a cup of tea into Arthur's bowl.

British tea...

Arthur took the spoon and stirred it in the teacup, then put the spoon on the saucer behind the teacup, pinched the ring of the teacup handle with his index finger and thumb, and put his middle finger on the bottom of the handle.Raised to the position of shoulders, lowered his head to take a sip......

Perhaps it is as if I may disdain to say: What does this unrealistic luxury life do to me?

But in fact, it is this almost exacting attention to details that created a strong impression of the so-called British aristocracy in the world.

Of course, you don’t have to learn the so-called aristocratic dressing or JIAO etiquette, but you may be able to learn their exquisite attitude towards life, for example, starting from the exquisiteness of one vegetable and one meal and buying a large iron pot full of ingenuity......

After lunch, Arthur drank a cup of tea and did not stay much longer. He returned to the study again and continued to write "Downton Abbey". To be honest, for Arthur, who has chased this British drama, It is not difficult to describe it in words. The key is to reprocess and create the story that he heard about the ancestors of the Bolling family.

In fact, to put it plainly, "Downton Abbey" is actually about a kind of temperament, a kind of character, bringing people a rich humanistic experience with nostalgic classics, which is a gentlemanly and British style.

As long as you grasp this degree, use calm language, add huge family stories, characters full of contradictions and forbearance, exquisite dialogue, and ups and downs, it is enough to ensure that the novels he reprocessed will not hit the street. .

In fact, to put it bluntly, as long as you can control it well and pretend to be 13 unconventional, and he still guards Paul, an encyclopedia of aristocratic etiquette, this is a guarantee of the restoration of the aristocracy in the Edwardian period in terms of the 13 grids of aristocratic etiquette. Exquisite life scene.

Typing on the keyboard, looking at the words and stories he typed, Arthur was a little bit emotional. Behind the elegance, prosperity, and nobility is red tape, and there is a deep and irresistible helplessness.

For this reason, some people resist, and some people think that they are noble.The predecessor, Arthur Bolin, is undoubtedly a kind of resistance. The noble etiquette and noble education he received from childhood were all thrown into the trash can, and he even became a despised football LIU hooligan. I have to say, resistance. The truth is thorough!

Thinking of the tattoos on his arms, Arthur felt a little disgusted and had a headache. To be honest, he was very satisfied with everything he received, except for the tattoos on his arms, he didn't feel that cool at all, even though it was Western culture. But he still couldn't accept it, he was not a serious guy at first sight, and it was a disaster for him who was ready to be a count.

An earl with tattoos on both arms will undoubtedly become an outlier among the nobles, and will be ridiculed and ridiculed by everyone in the aristocratic circle, although now he has deliberately put on long sleeves to hide those tattoos. But you can't wear long sleeves forever, right?

This is a trouble that must be solved. Fortunately, he has already asked the doctor during the hospitalization that these tattoos can be washed off with laser treatment. This method does not damage the rest of the skin tissue and does not leave scars after surgery. It is a treatment for tattoos. The preferred method, the only problem is that the cost is slightly more expensive.

Fortunately, this idiot has no tattoos on his face!

Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help but chill, both fortunate and fearful.

Wash off the tattoo, grow long hair, and then put on a pair of glasses. I believe that the original stupidity can be completely dispelled. However, he also knows that there are no secrets in the aristocratic circle. Some of his extraordinary behaviors should be It's no secret anymore. Fortunately, he hasn't attended the annual royal horse racing event in recent years, and he has not become a disgusting laughing stock in front of many nobles and royal families.

However, the bad reputation is definitely not going away. This is why Arthur attaches so much importance to the novel "Downton Abbey". In addition to hoping to be adapted into a TV series, it plays a role in packaging and promoting Boleyn Manor. Still use this to whitewash his past black history.

You have to admit that the aura of a famous writer is really useful!It can completely offset all of Arthur Boleyn's past "less things"...
