Chapter 127 Strange things happen again and again
The British-style residential buildings are completely different from those in other systems.
The British-style residential building is a huge "mouth"-shaped three-story building with hundreds of rooms, where most people in the British-style community live.
The atrium of the residential building is paved with stone slabs to facilitate everyone to enter and exit normally. There are many cars parked here, including bicycles and electric cars, from nostalgic classic cars to super sports cars, as well as vans and small pickup trucks, but there are no carriages.
Behind the residential building is a green field, further away is a green forest, and then the sea. Everyone is here to enjoy afternoon tea. Originally, Hood's opinion was to go to the garden where the unicorn was responsible. Since there were too many people signing up for afternoon tea, it was temporarily decided to be here, so no matter how many people could accommodate it.
Su Xia had a little knowledge of afternoon tea in the UK before, so she was particularly concerned about the cake stand.
He remembered the refreshments for afternoon tea, where the cake stand was placed. The bottom layer was usually filled with salty sandwiches, and the shape of the small triangle was easy to enter. In the middle was scones, which were English muffins, paired with cream and jam. At the top was sweets. As expected.
King George V of England sat beside Su Xia. She had been paying attention to him for a long time and asked, "What is the admiral looking at?"
"Nothing." Su Xia really replied subconsciously. He paused, "I remember how to eat afternoon tea and refreshments... from bottom to top, from salt to sweet?"
King George V of England smiled and said, "The traditional way of eating is like that... But the admiral eats whatever he wants. Just be happy, there is not so much attention. As long as you don't eat while picking your feet, it's too much, exaggerated... People with status do everything they do, are etiquette, unique, chic, and not care about trivial matters. And people without status are poor and particular, no matter how particular they pay."
Su Xia was funny. He had never come into contact with anyone with status. He only knew the same piece of equipment. If he was a powerful professional player, he would just do it. Don’t ask, it would be enough to learn; if he was an anchor who would never score 8,000 points, it would be a whole work.
He doesn't remember where he saw it. The tradition needs to be followed, but it is not rigid demands.
The Prince of Wales added: "The source of afternoon tea is that the nobles live in large houses in the countryside. They eat very rich breakfasts, relatively simple lunches, and late formal dinners. When they are hungry in the afternoon, they have to eat, so they have afternoon tea. Afternoon tea is to understand hunger, not to eat carefully, but to pretend to highlight their identity."
It doesn’t matter to people with status. People without status care about their identities try every means to fear that others will look down on them or that others will not see them.
"Wow!" Hood sat opposite Su Xia, and she heard their conversation, "George, Wales... Why does the admiral eat whatever he wants? It's my turn to pay attention to etiquette and tradition?"
The Prince of Wales picked up the black tea cup, took a sip, and said, "I have told you so many times that etiquette, etiquette, etiquette, have you ever cared about it? Haven't you always do your own thing?"
Hood snorted and picked up the black tea cup to drink tea. The tea-drinking movement was really elegant, impeccable, and it looked like a noble lady, which made people feel ashamed of it.
The Prince of Wales looked at Hood and thought that as long as he was not stupid, Hood instead of Huod, the Royal Navy's well-deserved flagship and the glory of the Royal Navy.
Su Xia stared at the cake stand and heard from everyone that he didn't care much about the order of the refreshments. He just had a little difficulty in choosing. Because the refreshments were exquisitely made, they looked pleasing to the eye, and they accounted for at least two items of color, fragrance and taste. He was not worried, and he was unconscious like eating London-made dishes in the morning.
Su Xia hesitated to pick up a scone cake and held the black tea cup with the other hand. He suddenly thought of eating "Sleeping Black Tea" and laughed.
The Prince of Wales saw Su Xia finish eating the scones and asked, "How is it?"
"It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the taste... yes, it tastes good." Su Xia originally wanted to give a long comment and praise it. She was like a gourmet, but she was really speechless. A great poet looked at the waterfall and flew down three thousand feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way fell to the sky. Ordinary people could only say one sentence when looking at the waterfall - Damn, it's amazing.
Su Xia took another dessert and asked, "Who made these refreshments?"
"It's mainly reputation and counterattack..." said the Prince of Wales.
Su Xia looked around and said, "I didn't see them..."
His idea was that everyone could not eat and drink here, and teach others all other work. Of course, it was not that they had to separate everything. Perhaps they liked the maid's work and could not really treat them as maids. At least now the afternoon tea is in progress, and he hopes that everyone will be present.
"I'll come soon," said the Prince of Wales. "The Admiral thought we were...reputation is the chief maid, the admiral's chief maid, the great housekeeper of the custody. She just doesn't like to express her opinions, otherwise even we must listen to her. A small counterattack is my well-behaved sister."
Su Xia knew how close the relationship between the Prince of Wales and Counterattack was, and then found that there was one missing here, and asked: "Counterattack is your sister... Duke of York, why didn't he see the Duke of York?" He remembered the Duke of York, and the game was superb anyway.
The Prince of Wales was silent for a moment, looked at her sister King George V of England, and asked, "Sister, have you not called me little sister?"
King George V of England remained silent, without any embarrassment, and said, "Didn't I ask you to call her?"
"You haven't told me."
"some."
The two sisters looked at each other and moved away almost at the same time.
The Prince of Wales raised his hand, waved his hand, and shouted, "Avant-garde..."
"Yeah." A small round table could not sit so many people, and the avant-garde could only sit at another table. When she heard the Prince of Wales calling her, she responded quickly, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't I ask you to inform everyone and prepare afternoon tea?" The Prince of Wales paused, "It's nothing...that's right, you'll inform York now...my sister, Duke of York." One Duke of York, the other York, just shouting York, can easily confuse the two people.
Su Xia didn't care much about the Duke of York and continued to eat refreshments and black tea. At this time, he received a call from Lexington and asked him about his work in the morning and his meals made in London.
Then I just hung up the phone number of Lexington and received a call from Luo, which had the same problem as Lexington. Not only that, Luo was trying to talk to him about the phone number. King Kong's phone number, Bismarck's phone number, Richelieu's phone number...
King George V of England glanced at the Prince of Wales. The Prince of Wales looked at Su Xia who had just put down his phone and returned to his seat, and said, "Admiral, give us your phone, we will help you reply to everyone... Otherwise, you will have no way to have afternoon tea."
Su Xia thought about it and gave the phone to the Prince of Wales, and the Prince of Wales to the Avant-garde again.
The continuous call is just the beginning. This is what everyone cares about the admiral, nothing is strange about.
Some vague shouts came from afar, what's going on?
Glory with beautiful golden waves kept finding the Prince of Wales. The Prince of Wales frequently left the seat and once called King George V of England to join him. The three of them stood on the grass and discussed something. Glory seemed to be a bad job, and was preached, scolded the fool, and was dejected.
Su Xia was drinking black tea and paying attention to all this without hesitation. Only Hu De was leisurely stroking cats, eating refreshments, and drinking black tea. He felt that things were not simple.
