Chapter 1083 The most beautiful boy in the audience

Challiworth Manor is probably the largest manor Chu Yunfeng has ever seen so far. It took a lot of time to drive up from the foot of the mountain.

After entering the manor, the car drove for about 5 minutes before arriving at the magnificent castle.

It is true to say that it is an ancient castle, but it also has a sense of classic and modern charm.

This is because the castle was built thousands of years ago and has been maintained and renovated subsequently. Some modern buildings have also been built on both sides of the castle, and the overall layout is very artistic.

After getting off the car, Chu Yunfeng felt that the temperature here was obviously lower than that in the city, but the air was obviously much better, and the greening level of the entire manor was also quite high.

When I went to Thailand before, I was in awe of Princess Sirena's manor, but now when I look at the Challeworth Manor, it is almost three times the size of the princess's.

There are also many statues erected in the manor, which are arranged among various green vegetation. Their parts seem to be planned. When you go to different places, you can feel the very different charm.

There are also many fountains and small Baroque buildings, all of which are full of strong European charm. Unfortunately, Chu Yunfeng is not in much mood to appreciate them at this time.

Instead, he turned his attention to the towering mountain behind the castle.

This mountain is also very unique. The one in the middle is the highest, and the castle relies on it, which is equivalent to being built with the mountain on its back. The surrounding peaks show a step-like drop, which looks very magical.

This further highlights the momentum of the castle, with a pillar on the back holding up to the sky, symbolizing the unparalleled authority of ancient times.

The castle is so big that you can feel your own insignificance when standing in front of it. And standing at its door, you can't see how the castle is connected to the mountain.

Chu Yunfeng wanted to take a closer look from a distance. Can he see that there was a special passage in the castle leading directly to the mountain?

That location should be the hidden magnificent collection room. It is also my goal this time, and I have to enter it no matter what.

It all depends on the way and method of getting in, as well as how to get in at that time. All of this will be decided today, and it depends on whether you can act according to the situation.

If he wanted to act according to the situation, he must test the Duke's feedback. At this time, Chu Yunfeng discovered that the gate of the castle had not been opened, and there were already several people waiting in front of the gate.

Before Chu Yunfeng could clearly see who was standing in front of him, two more cars came from behind, and a surprising voice came from behind.

"Mr. Chu, I didn't expect you to come too. What a coincidence!"

After turning around, Chu Yunfeng saw that it was El Raffarin, the chef of Restaurant

With an unexpected look on his face, Chu Yunfeng quickly said hello with a smile: "What a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come too."

It is said that colleagues are enemies, and everyone came here for the same purpose, but El Raffarin didn't seem to mind at all, and chatted with Chu Yunfeng very happily.

However, Sims didn't seem to be too cold with the person who invited El Raffarin, and the two of them just nodded without saying a word.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Chu Yunfeng also understood that the Duke's people in charge around the world seemed to be not in harmony!

Mu Qing was holding the bag that Sims had always wanted to see through, but she didn't seem to care at all. She held it in her hand casually, giving the impression that she didn't take it seriously at all.

Her eyes were looking at and appreciating the layout of the manor, and she couldn't hide the admiration in her eyes.

But Sims was very worried that after Mu Qing distracted her energy, would the bottle inside fall to the ground?
Auntie, can you be more serious?

However, Sims' worry did not last long. Soon, after the following cars all arrived at the specified time, the old butler with some white hair also appeared in front of everyone.

The extremely well-tailored tuxedo, exquisite accessories, pure white gloves, and black top hat all show the status and professionalism of this butler.

Behind him were two servants dressed in Scottish style. Their hair was tied together with white bows, and paired with white aprons, giving a very different look.

Just like a maid in a medieval manor, but with a touch of modern style, this contrasting feeling is somewhat impressive.

Chu Yunfeng secretly thought that the taste of Duke Dalton seemed to be very unusual. He must take a closer look later. What does this Duke look like?
Chu Yunfeng didn't hear the old butler's name clearly. After introducing himself, he led everyone towards the gate of the castle.

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng was not interested, Mu Qing did not translate for him, but Sims told Chu Yunfeng seriously that the old butler's name was Deron Williams.

Deron Williams?

Chu Yunfeng didn't seem to have any feelings about this name and just nodded. This made Sims feel a little powerless. It seemed that Chu Yunfeng was not sure about the origin of this name.

But Mu Qing's eyes showed a look of surprise, it was obvious that she understood the connotation of this name.

Seeing that Sims did not give Chu Yunfeng any further explanation, Mu Qing whispered in Chu Yunfeng's ear: "Not everyone can call this Williams' name.

The profession of butler originated in France. Only the oldest and well-established butler has the name Williams, and this name requires certification. "

Although Mu Qing's words were relatively low, Sims could still hear them, and sincerely admired Mu Qing's vision, he nodded and added: "Miss Mu Qing is right.

This butler has been working at the manor for almost 60 years, and he is almost 80 years old. He is definitely a senior palace butler.

A steward with his qualifications can be said to be the best in the world. There is no problem even calling him the number one steward! "

First housekeeper?

Chu Yunfeng was a little moved at this time. This old butler, who was almost 80 years old, had taken good care of himself. He looked like he was only in his sixties.

Moreover, his mental state is also very good, and there is wind under his feet when he walks. It is really unimaginable that he is so powerful.

Sure enough, the heritage of these old European aristocrats is different. Everyone has such antiques, so the objects should be even more exciting.
Chu Yunfeng's entry point is very different. If Sims knew about it, he would be so depressed that he would slap his forehead.

However, Chu Yunfeng still has a doubt. At this age, does the butler still have the energy to take care of such a large manor?

Chu Yunfeng didn't need to ask this question. Sims saw the "interested" smile on his lips and immediately explained to him: "Butler Delong is the general manager, and there are two deputies below him."

After saying this, Chu Yunfeng understood. It seems that this old butler holds a very important position in Duke Dalton's heart. Why don't he let him live for the rest of his life at such an old age?

However, Chu Yunfeng didn't quite understand this employment relationship. Under the management of Butler Delong for so many years, this manor has become his home.

What's more, the Duke is also used to being taken care of by the old butler, otherwise he should have retired at home at such an age.

After entering the gate, Chu Yunfeng realized that it was a huge hall. The carpet on the floor looked very old, and it gave people a very soft feeling when they stepped on it.

This style looks like a handmade wool rug from Persia, which is now Iran. Such handmade rugs are quite expensive.

There were also many oil paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, and there was a portrait of a character in the middle. Chu Yunfeng guessed it was the Duke, right?
There were many medals hanging on his body, he was wearing a noble hat, he had a cane in his hand, and there was a larger German shepherd lying next to him.

A typical portrait of an old noble. This was Chu Yunfeng's first impression. From the portrait, the Duke looked quite energetic and relatively young. It was inferred that this painting should be decades old!
Then Chu Yunfeng looked at the surrounding oil paintings, including figures and pastoral ones, but he didn't have the chance to go up and appreciate them, so he didn't know if they were genuine.

If Sims knew about this, he would definitely protest. Could it be that the Duke would still sell fakes?

Old Butler Delong walked to the middle of the hall and stopped, then turned around and gave a welcome ceremony to everyone, and then someone came and took away the hat and cane from his hand.

Chu Yunfeng took a general look and found that there seemed to be a total of six chefs here today. Except for one whom he knew, he had never seen the rest.

And Sims didn't seem to know the other chefs, and you could see a bit of confusion in his eyes.

The remaining four chefs are all white, and it seems that they all make Western food. El Raffarin also has certain attainments in Chinese food, but I don't know what dishes he can cook.

Old Butler Delong entered the topic directly. He first thanked everyone for accepting the Duke's invitation, and the way of cooking today will be a little different.

As soon as he finished saying this, Chu Yunfeng noticed that the chefs had no reaction. Some of them, like Sims, seemed a little excited and asked the old housekeeper Delong for the reason.

Chu Yunfeng was a little confused. How could these people be so excited even if they didn't even mention the method?

The old butler listened patiently for a while, and then responded directly: "This is the Duke's arrangement. If there is any problem, he can report it to the Duke."

No one had any objections at this time. When old housekeeper Delong saw that no one was talking anymore, he smiled slightly and said: "Before, everyone cooked it directly and sent it over, and the cooking was done separately.

Today's cooking will be arranged in one place, and there is no need to send it over after it is ready. The Duke will come directly to taste it. "

As soon as the old housekeeper finished speaking, the people in charge all moved their mouths, as if they had something to say, but no one raised any objection.

Chu Yunfeng was a little confused. Is this such a big problem?
For me, cooking is the same wherever I go. As for where the Duke tastes it, it has nothing to do with me. But why are Sims and the others so excited in advance?

It is very likely that they knew about this in advance, and such a change should have some disadvantages for them, otherwise they would not protest.

If you don't understand, don't think about it. You follow the old housekeeper and continue walking towards the side door of the hall. After walking for 2 minutes, you arrive at a large hall.

The furnishings here are very interesting. It looks like it should be a dining restaurant, because there is a long dining table in the middle of the hall with a lot of antique chairs.

The chair at the top is even more unusual. It looks a bit like a throne. It should be the Duke's special seat.

At this moment, six kitchen tables have been placed in the hall, with all the kitchen utensils on them. However, there are no ingredients in sight. They should all be kept fresh and will be delivered directly to them shortly.

So Chu Yunfeng was also very curious, what level would the ingredients provided by the Duke be?
What surprised Chu Yunfeng was that when old housekeeper Delong arranged the chefs one by one, when he came to Chu Yunfeng, he actually spoke.

"Mr. Chu, you are very welcome to come. I am looking forward to the dishes you make today, but do I have a question?"

Chu Yunfeng was ranked second to last. Old housekeeper Delong didn't say a word when arranging the chef. Instead, he asked two servants, one male and one female, to arrange it personally.

This should mean that if you have any needs, you can just ask them directly. Arranging a dedicated service also reflects a professional spirit, but he did not speak to anyone during the whole process.

After Mu Qing finished translating, Chu Yunfeng guessed that the old housekeeper was not worried, so he asked him specifically, so he directly replied: "No problem, please ask!"

Old Butler Delong showed a smile: "The ingredients you need were not reported before. Can you tell me now?"

Sure enough, just as Chu Yunfeng guessed, the old housekeeper was still very strict in controlling the details. Seeing Sims standing aside with strong curiosity in depression, Chu Yunfeng suddenly smiled.

"I only have one ingredient, and it's right here!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Yunfeng took the cloth bag from Mu Qing's hand, then waved it in front of the old housekeeper, showing a very happy smile.

However, the old butler did not smile, but looked at Chu Yunfeng with a serious look, and then seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just nodded, and then made arrangements for the last chef.

Sims was not calm at this time. When he saw Chu Yunfeng walking to the kitchen counter at the direction of the two servants, he sighed deeply and followed him.

Mu Qing couldn't help but covered her mouth and smiled secretly. It seemed that Chu Yunfeng would not stop until Sims was tortured this time.

When the cooking starts later, Sims will probably collapse immediately.

Soon, all the ingredients needed by the chefs were delivered. Chu Yunfeng looked to his left and right, and nodded immediately.

The quality of these ingredients is quite good, and they are all very fresh. The seafood ingredients are delivered soaked in sea water, and the prawns are all alive and kicking.

Western food, indeed, is still Western food. These five chefs, including El Raffarin, all make Western food, but the selection of ingredients is different.

Everyone started, and the "movement" on Chu Yunfeng's side was naturally quite large, because the other five chefs were working nervously and at high speed.

Everyone was standing, but Chu Yunfeng acted like a stranger, directly moving the chair not far behind him, and then sat down directly.

At this moment, he became the most handsome boy in the room.
