The Death Knight of the Secret World

Chapter 63 0063. Breakfast
Early the next morning, Beomi was woken up by the little hairy Armin because a dog scratched the door.

"I'm going to take Tindalos across the street for breakfast later, do you two want to come together?"

When Beomi opened the door, she saw the scar-faced old man, and Tindalos walked sideways into his room to find Almin.

The big black dog and the little Maotou Almin felt like they hit it off, not only giving way, but also wagging their tails at the little Maotou.Probably only at this time, it looks like a normal dog. Normally, it beeps coldly, with a pair of slightly dark red eyes, it looks like it is looking at a mentally retarded person.

"I'll wash up first, and we'll go together later!" Beomi scratched his head, he hadn't had a haircut for a few months, and his hair could almost be tied into a ponytail now... Well, maybe a wolf's tail would be more appropriate.

"I wanted to ask yesterday, where did you buy these weird little iron men?"

Almin was playing with the big black dog on the balcony, while Jurgen looked around in Beomi's room, and then picked up a figure with a small gourd on its head and looked at it.

"I didn't buy this, it was made for me by Beomy!" Before Beomy, who was brushing her teeth, could speak, the little hairy Almin rode into the house on his dog.

"The one you took is the water baby, and the one next to him is the fire baby, and the seven brothers can fit together and transform into a little King Kong!" Armin explained enthusiastically to the scar-faced old man Jurgen.

"They have seven brothers? Isn't this only six?" Jurgen counted carefully and found that one was missing.

"Liuwa is invisible, so you can't see it!"

Can this thing be invisible?The scar-faced old man was stunned.

Then, the scar-faced old man who didn't believe in evil looked for it on the table, and sure enough, he found one next to him, which was even more weird.

"Isn't this what it is? How can this thing be invisible!"

"No!" Almin shook his head and corrected the scar-faced old man's mistake.

"The one you're talking about is the Fifth Kazekage, and it's not the same as Calabash Baby!"

"..." The scar-faced old man didn't know what to say.

Jurgen, as an extraordinary person who has been subdued by Sura, is also the guarantor who recommended Beomi to Sura. He did not go back to his friend's house last night, but stayed in the lounge of the sweeper's office overnight .

On the one hand, he is quite optimistic about this little guy, Beomi. This little guy is not only very smart, but also very emotional.

On the other hand, it is very clear how lonely and lonely Sura is now, and he is unwilling to let Beomi and Kurt, Ms. Sura's loyal licking dog, fight against each other.

That's why we had the long talk last night.As an old Jianghu, he knows very well the truth of being short-handed and soft-mouthed.After being thrown into the Sweeper organization by the Church of the Evernight, he was greatly favored by Sura. Compared with the passionate gun-carrying wars when he was young, or when the Church of the Night was under the eaves, he was treated as a tool for dirty work. All pinched their noses and worked hard.It can be said that the Sweeper Organization is the only place where the scar-faced old man can feel a sense of belonging.

Therefore, he felt that it would be better to stay by Beomi's side these two days, and if the little guy he read made any troubles.

The location of the Nancheng Office of the Sweeper Organization is not particularly remote. Although it is close to the slums of Nancheng District, there are still many factories and old-fashioned houses nearby, and the flow of people is not too small.

Therefore, near the office, there are still a few early shops.

Backlund is also a fairly high-ranked metropolis in the entire Northern Continent, with a registered population of nearly 300 million and a permanent population of nearly 500 million.

Moreover, unlike Feysac in the north and Feneport in the south, and even more different from Intis in the west, Backlund's business activities are the best in the entire Northern Continent.

Because of the frequent commercial activities, which brought a large number of merchants from all over the world, Backlund was a bit like the atmosphere of "All nations come to court" in Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, in Beomy's impression.

On the streets of Backlund, you can see a lot of tall and mighty Fusacs from the north, fast-talking Fenepots from the south, and Inti who are passionate and romantic from the west. Sri Lankan

The flow of people from all over the world also brought their own local specialties, so Backlund's breakfast variety is also quite rich.

Jurgen, who was born in the south, likes the Dixie Bay pies most, which are famous for their rich fat.The main ingredient in the Dixie pie is the fat layer from the specially bred pigs at Feneporte. There is very little lean meat, and almost all of them are big fat strips that are oily.

Even, on the side of Dixi Bay, when the pie is baked, the boiled fat is brushed on the pie crust to make the surface of the pie more golden and crispy.

This kind of fat-rich food is very popular among Backlund's working class, especially heavy manual laborers. An oily Dixie pie in the morning can keep up with high-intensity physical labor for most of the day.

Before Wu Bin crossed over, it took about a week for the Beomi brothers to have a chance to buy a piece of Dixie pie to satisfy their cravings.

However, after Beomi changed the inner core, as a part of the big foodie empire, he couldn't like this kind of oily pie.

Because Dixie pies don't use too many spices, although they are rich in fat, they are easy to get greasy, and... this kind of meat pig specially bred by the Fenepot people, although it has been castrated, it lacks Even when more than a dozen kinds of spices are suppressed, the stench is still very strong.

The fishy smell of pork is also different from that of beef and mutton, and Beomi really doesn't like this smell.

Therefore, he would rather eat fried donuts and potato chips than eat pies, but Jurgen and Armin ate very deliciously.

Especially the scar-faced old man Jurgen, who was chewing an onion while eating the pie. It was a red-skinned onion, which was very spicy.Baomi seldom eats this kind of pungent food, because every time she eats it, her eyes will become red and she dare not rub it, and the more she rubs it, the more uncomfortable she will feel.

The owner who runs this pie shop is obviously of Fenepoter blood, which is easy to distinguish, because the Fenepotters have darker skin.Moreover, their speech speed is different from that of the Loen people, as well as their singing-like intonation endings, as well as their funny movements, which are really easy to distinguish.

Even though he spoke Loen language, Beomi could recognize many words unique to Fenepot's side.

It was Jurgen, who seemed to know the owner very well, and he was still speaking his native dialect.As we all know, a large part of the territory in the south of the Loen Kingdom was taken from Fenepot.Even the people in the south of the Loen Kingdom, hundreds of years ago, might have been Fenepot people.

In the southern part of the Loen Kingdom, there is even a [Southern Loen language] that can communicate with Fenepot without barriers.Jurgen now speaks Nanrun language, which sounds very similar to Fenepot language.

Hmm... It seems that Ruen's current territory is the east coast of Omerica, and Feneport is probably in Mexico and the southern states of Omerica.

This is normal!

Well, it's normal!
I just don't know if the Intis people on the west coast have inherited some customs from the west coast?Like buying something for zero yuan?

On the morning of the beginning of July in Backlund, Beomi sat in the pie shop, drank seaweed soup and drove off.

And in the inner city which is about [-] kilometers away from them... Or the former old city of Backlund, now the Wangcheng district.

Sura and her precious daughter, Christina, were also having breakfast.

As an aristocrat, the Birmingham family had a relatively rich variety of breakfast, not only fried browned chicken, but also fried meat and fish that looked very fat.

As for bread slices, cheese, sausages and the like, there are even more variety.

The ostentation in the noble family's house is still very big, just for breakfast, the waiters and maids who serve are already in double digits.

There are not only boning servants who specialize in removing bones from chickens, but also fishbone servants who use sterling silver tools to remove bones from fish. There is even a dedicated servant doing the slicing of grilled sausages.

Beside Sura, there is also a maid who pushes the dining car, and a sauce maid who spreads caviar on her—the caviar is passed from Feysac, especially the iced ones are the most delicious, a qualified one The sauce maid needs to accurately grasp the time. If the application time is too long, the freshness of the ice will be greatly reduced, and if the application is too fast, the delicious taste of the caviar will be affected.Without more than ten years of experience in the industry, it is really difficult for ordinary people to be competent for this job!
Next to Christina, there are three sauce maids serving at the same time, one for jam, one for foie gras, and one for mayonnaise.

The sauce maid in the noble family's family is a very popular profession, because the maids who can reassure the nobles and have rich experience in spreading sauce are basically people who have served this noble family for generations.They can even play a temporary guest role as [table butler] when the nobles are dining.

This is the stepping stone to the [butler] profession, and it is still a special position that can directly skip the low-level butler and transfer to the middle-level butler.

From maid to mid-level butler, this is a full five-level leap.

Sauce maids belong to the privileged class of first-class maids. They are more important than first-class maids such as gardening maids, bedroom maids, and clothing maids. They are almost comparable to the ceiling of the maid profession—the maid is long.

Even the head maid, the head housemaid known as the chief housekeeper, is no more than the same level as a low-level housekeeper.

But the sauce maid has a high chance of being promoted to a mid-level housekeeper.

In short, there is one sentence: non-direct relatives are not enough to be competent!
But now these sauce maids are very embarrassed, because their service does not satisfy Miss Christina!
"I want to eat fried tender beef!"

Wearing gorgeous but elegant dining uniforms, Miss Christina sat on a rosewood armchair with a straight face, refusing to eat!
Several sauce maids were about to cry, but the strict family rules of the royal earl's house made them afraid to speak out—the first-class maids like sauce maids do have a little privilege of [admonishment], and they can speak to the master. During the meal, accompany and say a few words, but that's all.

It is the second rank among the senior butlers to verbally persuade the master who is determined to go his own way, and it is the duty of the ceremonial butler who is known as the [Second Butler].

It's not that they don't want to use this high-level privilege when the ceremonial butler who is the lady is not around, but... If you persuade well, you will only have a chance to be promoted to a mid-level butler by the master.As for whether the ceremonial steward (senior steward can be called an adult in some occasions) will wear shoes for you, such as assigning you to a fief to manage a barn, that is how bold you are and how productive you are .

But if your persuasion is wrong, or if you displease the master, the table butlers standing next to you are not decorations. They have the authority to directly punish the maids and servants below the head maid.

Swallowing the last bite of food in her mouth, Sura waved her hand, and the cleaning maid next to her hurriedly and methodically turned the table by about one-eighth (that is, forty degrees) to clean it from the side.

The food that the master can't finish will be distributed to the servants according to their rank.Of course—only for servants, the head maid and butlers will prepare meals separately.Because they belong to the senior waiter, have this privilege.

Therefore, the unfinished food on the table is the breakfast of the servants on the scene. (Table) Cleaning maids are obviously second-class maids, and they are managed by the middle-level butler, the table steward, but because of their winks and the power to distribute food to the servants, they are also the most important among the second-class maids. , not even worse than some first-class maids.

(Dining table) When cleaning up the maids to pack things, a curtain should be drawn on the dining table to cover it, and the sound should not exceed a certain decibel.Otherwise, they will be hanged and beaten by the table steward, or even sent directly to a rural manor to farm land and raise livestock.

The maids pulled up the curtains swiftly, and the table butler who was standing beside him professionally took out his pocket watch and started counting the time.

According to the code of conduct for waiters in the royal family of Loen, there are also requirements for the time for cleaning the table. For example, the time for breakfast, lunch and dinner is one and a half minutes (floating up and down for three to five seconds), three minutes and three quarters of a minute. (floating five seconds), five minutes and a quarter of a minute (floating ten seconds).

As for the cleaning of the afternoon leisure time such as afternoon tea, it is all under the command of the mid-level butler [Afternoon Tea Steward].

The speed and completion of the servants' work is also assessed by someone. Generally, as long as they hold the title of [housekeeper], they have this privilege.But stewards often don't go beyond their duties to punish servants who are not under their management. They generally only supervise and assess the work within their scope of responsibility.

Seeing the table butler starting the timer, the [administrative butler] standing outside the window of the restaurant wiped his hands with a white handkerchief, and walked in with a stack of documents.

Administrative butlers belong to senior butlers, and their rank is only below the chief butler and ceremonial butler.Because they have to assist the master to handle some affairs, and sometimes even give the master some suggestions, or give the master "reminders" as little as once or as many as three times depending on the importance of the affairs.

"Your Highness (the earl, as a great nobleman, can selectively call you His Highness according to their blood relationship with the royal family, mainly the king), your affairs today are roughly as follows..."

The administrative butler stood next to Su La, and then began to report to work.

Su La raised her hand, and the administrative housekeeper immediately shut up, put away the documents, and stood aside, waiting for the command of the master.

"Reject all the activities from this afternoon to tomorrow morning, and I will go to the welcome dinner of the new Viscount Beckman in the evening!"

"As you wish, my lord!" the administrative butler nodded slightly.

"Then, prepare a carriage and take Miss Christina to the Sweeper's South City office! She will have breakfast there!"

"I would like to follow your instructions, and I will arrange it now!" The administrative butler glanced at the table butler with a slightly gloomy face, and said respectfully.

It is a serious dereliction of duty for a table steward to prepare meals that cannot satisfy the host.This level of dereliction of duty, more than three times, will affect the status of the table steward. Either a new table steward will take over, or the etiquette steward or the chief steward will advise the master.

In short, very serious look!
"Well, inform the kitchen to prepare some high-quality beef and bring it with you!" Su La seemed to have thought of something, and added.

"I'll remind them! Are there any other orders? Your Highness." The administrative butler wrote down this and then asked.

"This morning's meeting, if there is no special need, I will cancel it. I have an appointment with Mr. Kurt Walter of the Church of the Storm, and I have something to discuss! It will take about half an hour. If I don't end on time, it will be at 08:30 Go remind me once!"

"Okay!" The administrative butler nodded.

While speaking, the maids had already cleaned up the dining table, put away the curtains, and retreated in order of rank after saluting.

And the table steward, whose face was a little pale, came over with a heavy heart, ready to conduct a [review] for no more than a minute for his dereliction of duty.

When the administrative butler saw the table butler approaching, he nodded subtly to the other party, and took a step back to give him enough respect.

"My lord, I will review my mistakes in my work..." After the table steward stood still, he lowered his head and began to review.

"Leiner, there's no need to do this!" Su La gently raised her right hand, expressing that she forgave her subordinates for their mistakes and dereliction of duty.Without waiting for the table steward to express her gratitude, she said again: "It's also because I didn't ask Katerina to inform you, after all, I came back a little late last night!"

"Christina ate a new food at the sweeper's office last night, which caused her food pickiness to rise again!"

"Please be sure to allow me to send a chef from the manor to study! This is my only request now!" The table steward said with a deep bow and blamed himself.

"This is exactly what I want to tell you to do. As for the specific candidate, you and Myers will discuss it. There is only one thing I can remind you - to remain humble." Sura looked at this man with a smile because The table steward who is negligent and blames himself: "Because it is not a professional chef who makes this new style of food, but a young man."

"Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to this arrangement!" The table steward bowed deeply again, "Please allow me to leave first!"

"Go!" Sura nodded, watched the table steward retreat, and then turned to the executive steward.

At this time, the other party had just received a whispered report from a servant.

"Your Highness, Mr. Kurt Walter is already waiting for you in the fourth living room!" The administrative butler nodded slightly and reported to Surahui.

"I'll go get changed!" Sura stood up and nodded to the head maid who was following her. The other party hurriedly sent a signal to the people waiting outside the restaurant. Seeing the signal here, several people outside the restaurant The maids began to get busy in an orderly manner.

At the dining table, Christina, with a small face, seemed to have won a battle, jumped off the armchair lightly, and chased after the table butler who had just left.Behind her, two second-class maids followed quickly, reminding her to pay attention to etiquette in a low voice.

"Your Highness, you seem to spoil Miss Christina too much!"

Seeing Christina bouncing away, who was not a lady at all, the administrative housekeeper frowned slightly and reminded her aloud.

"It doesn't matter, Christina will not participate in formal social occasions for another eight years!" Sura chuckled, and walked out of the restaurant accompanied by the administrative butler.
