Upstairs, the count is respected, and downstairs is the steward''s territory.
With the rise and fall of the British aristocracy, the number of servants gradually decreased, and the life of the Boleyn family gradually changed. However, there are still 15 waiters and maids in Bolin manor. Their division of labor is clear and their duties are insurmountable.
No matter how the times changed, the Boleyn family has always adhered to their own standards, and Paul, the housekeeper, has always taken good care of the family members'' daily life and strictly managed everything.
To tell you the truth, on the way to and from the restaurant, Arthur was thinking about the quality of lunch. To be honest, during his stay in hospital, he really hurt the British food.
In Britain, the average rich family usually has four meals a day, namely breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. Generally, people pay more attention to three meals a day, that is, breakfast, lunch and tea.
Breakfast is mostly porridge, ham and eggs, and bread coated with Nai oil or marmalade. Lunch is usually cold meat and cold dishes, such as potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, etc... It''s a cold dish. And we should drink tea at lunch, and generally don''t drink alcohol.
Generally speaking, English people are not good at cooking. In their opinion, the advantages and disadvantages of housewives lie in their ability to open all kinds of cans rather than cooking. Therefore, in the UK, simple fast food is the most popular. For many Britons, fried fish is a high-grade dish.
For a country where fried potatoes are hard dishes and fried fish are high-end dishes, what else can you expect?
Fortunately, when lunch was served, Arthur was relieved. Although his cook was an English cook, there was an Italian master who made good Italian food.
Fried steak, grilled lamb chop with bone and cookies, biscuits and cheese...
"Eating phase" can represent a person''s education and connotation.
It must be admitted that few other countries can match Britain in terms of table manners.
Both nobles and ordinary people, from childhood, have been well educated in table manners, learning strict dining etiquette. Most people usually don''t talk or shout loudly, and the quiet and courteous dining state is normal.
Now, for example, Arthur, who is almost adamant, sits upright, his back still can''t touch the chair, and his elbow can''t be put on the table. No matter how crispy food is, you can''t eat it with your head down.... Except for soup.
After the last course, Arthur put the knife and fork together on the plate, and the waiter standing on the side stepped forward with a smile and removed the tableware.
Paul, the housekeeper who had been standing beside Arthur, came forward, picked up the exquisite teapot and poured a cup of tea into Arthur''s teapot.
English tea...
Arthur took the spoon and stirred it in the cup. Then he put the spoon on the saucer behind the cup. He held the ring of the handle with his forefinger and thumb, and put the middle finger at the bottom of the handle. Raise it to shoulder level and take a sip......
Perhaps as if it might disdain to say: what do I have to do with this unrealistic luxury life?
But in fact, it is this kind of fastidious attention to details that makes a strong impression on the so-called British aristocracy''s exquisite elegance all over the world.
Of course, you don''t have to learn the so-called aristocratic dressing or social Jiao etiquette, but maybe you can learn their exquisite attitude towards life. For example, you can start from paying attention to food and vegetables, and buy a big iron pot full of ingenuity......
After lunch, after drinking a cup of tea, Arthur did not stop. He went back to his study again and continued to write Downton manor. To be honest, it is not difficult for Arthur, who pursued this English play, to describe it in words. The key is to combine the stories he heard about the ancestors of the Bolin family to create a new one.
In fact, Downton manor is about a kind of temperament, a kind of character. It brings people a rich humanistic experience with nostalgic classics, which is a gentlemanly style and British style.
As long as we have a good grasp of this degree, use a relatively calm language, add a huge family story, full of contradictions and forbearance of the character character, exquisite dialogue, ups and downs of the routine, it is enough to ensure that his re processed novels will not hit the streets.
In fact, to be frank, as long as you can control it well and pretend to be 13 unconventional, while he still keeps an encyclopedia of aristocratic etiquette, Paul, the housekeeper, can guarantee the restoration of the exquisite life scene of the aristocracy in the Edwardian period.
Tapping the keyboard, looking at the words and stories he typed, Arthur felt some emotion. Behind the elegance, prosperity and nobility, there were red tape and deep irresistible helplessness.
For this reason, some people resist, others think they are more noble. The predecessor Arthur bollin undoubtedly belongs to the class of resistance. He was thrown into the garbage bin by the aristocratic etiquette and noble education he received since childhood. He even became a football Liu hooligan who was disgusted by people. It has to be said that the real resistance is thorough enough!
When he thought of the tattoos on his arms, Arthur was a little disgusted and headache. To be honest, he was very satisfied with everything he received, except those tattoos on his arms. Although it was part of western culture, he still couldn''t accept it. At first, he was not a serious guy. Moreover, for him who was ready to be a count, Jane Straight is a disaster.An earl with tattoos on his arms will undoubtedly become a member of the aristocracy, and will be ridiculed by the people in the aristocratic circle. Although he has deliberately put on long sleeves to cover up those tattoos, he can''t wear long sleeves all his life?
This is a problem that must be solved. Fortunately, during his stay in hospital, he has inquired from the doctor. He can use laser therapy to wash out these tattoos. This method does not damage other skin tissue and does not leave scar after operation. It is the preferred method for tattoo treatment. The only problem is that the cost is slightly higher.
Fortunately, this idiot, no tattoo on his face!
At the thought of this, Arthur could not help but beat a cold cicada, that is to be happy and afraid.
Wash off the tattoo, leave long hair, and then put on a pair of glasses, I believe that the original share of the second fool to completely dissipate, but he also knows that there is no secret in the aristocratic circle, some of his extraordinary behavior, should not be a secret, fortunately, in these years, he did not attend the annual Royal Horse Racing Festival, also let him not in many aristocrats and royal families In front of me, I became a laughing stock of disgust.
However, the bad reputation must not escape, which is why Arthur attaches so much importance to the novel Downton manor. In addition to the hope that it can be adapted into a TV series to play the role of packaging and publicizing Boleyn manor, the most important thing is to use it 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 "Youth"...
