Capítulo 1881: Chapter 1841: European-Style Service
Although Europe is a democratic region, in reality, the social hierarchy is still quite clear. For example, as the head of the Eastern Castle, Ye Qiu, Housekeeper Eugene and the servants, maid, etc., usually have clearly defined roles.
Even when eating als, it’s done separately.
If Ye Qiu didn’t invite Housekeeper Eugene to sit down and eat together, Eugene would eat with the others at a different table.
Ye Qiu also doesn’t like to be disturbed. When he let them eat first, Liu Lingxiu experienced it for the first ti and was genuinely shocked.
After the two servants left, as Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu sat at that large dining table to eat, Liu Lingxiu asked, “Ye Qiu, just the two of us eating?”
“The servants won’t eat with us, the hierarchy in Europe is still very strict.”
On this point, Liu Lingxiu was a bit confused, isn’t Europe a democratic region?
Even back ho, ordinary maids eat with their employers usually, after all, it’s just a job, there’s no real superior-subordinate relationship.
Unexpectedly, it’s completely different over here in Europe.
“No matter how much we say, the hierarchy behind the scenes in Europe is very strict.”
Ye Qiu had seen reports, a British royal princess gave birth, unexpectedly, a nurse leaked the news early, and mysteriously that nurse died.
It seed no one pursued the matter, but Ye Qiu knew the nurse’s death surely had sothing to do with the British royal family.
So, to say there isn’t a hierarchy, that is certainly impossible.
What surprised Liu Lingxiu more was that the food here was really good, much better than the caviar in first class on a flight.
“Do French people also make Huaxia cuisine?”
“Ye Qiu, how can they make Huaxia cuisine?”
“The chef was brought in by from Chinatown in Paris, originally they were overseas Chinese, what can’t they make?”
At this point, Liu Lingxiu understood.
After dinner, it was already the early hours of the morning in Paris, and Liu Lingxiu was very tired after a day’s flight.
As she headed upstairs with Liu Lingxiu, she was taken by two older maid won to be bathed, while Ye Qiu put things down and then went over to bathe himself.
Having not co over for a long ti, the Eastern Castle still felt the sa.
However, it’s now July, which is quite different from when he ca last November.
Ye Qiu stood at the window, looking out at the distant vineyard.
As for those red-eyed white-haired bats, they should still be on the rooftop.
Except for their droppings, which can corrode the surface over ti, there is no issue otherwise, so Ye Qiu saw no need to drive them away.
When Liu Lingxiu returned from her bath, she seed quite embarrassed, as the two older maid won had so fervently treated her as the lady of the house, serving her to the point where she didn’t even need to undress herself.
This kind of service and enjoynt, Liu Lingxiu had never experienced, maybe only when she was a small child, and her mother bathed her, might it have been like this, she never expected to be served like this at her age.
Is this truly the corrupting enjoynt of capitalism?
Seeing Liu Lingxiu’s reddened ears and face, Ye Qiu asked, “What’s wrong? Not used to it?”
“Those aunties are too enthusiastic.”
“I’d rather bathe myself.”
He couldn’t possibly need these older won to serve him, even if it was a young maid, Ye Qiu didn’t need it.
When Ye Qiu returned after bathing, letting Liu Lingxiu rest first, she laid down on the large, classical European bed, and seeing it made her suddenly think, is this how a European princess lives?
After Liu Lingxiu quickly fell asleep from exhaustion, Ye Qiu sat there, letting his hair dry before getting into bed.
The next morning, when Ye Qiu awoke, Liu Lingxiu was still asleep.
Ye Qiu got up first and freshened up before Liu Lingxiu awakened, initially forgetting she was in Europe, thinking she was still back ho.
As her jet lag began to wear off, she gradually ca to her senses.
Ye Qiu had already finished freshening up, and the two older maid won were waiting outside.
After Ye Qiu asked the maid won to assist Liu Lingxiu with freshening up, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu ca downstairs.
Breakfast was similarly rich, with both European and Asian options.
Seeing a line of breakfast items there, and the twenty-odd servants sitting watching, made Liu Lingxiu quite embarrassed.
Of course, they had to wait for the master to finish eating before they started.
“Housekeeper Eugene, co over and sit down to eat.”
Actually, Ye Qiu only called Housekeeper Eugene over to eat with them.
Housekeeper Eugene thanked both Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu, sitting opposite them, starting with French bread. Ye Qiu, seeing how embarrassed Liu Lingxiu seed, asked, “How does it feel?”
“Ye Qiu, isn’t there too much food?”
There’s a saying, breakfast should be eaten well, lunch to be full, and dinner should be light. But in reality, few people in their country actually adhere to this.
Conversely, in Europe, they have morning tea, afternoon tea, lunch, and dinner all well defined, aligning with that saying.
However, back ho, there aren’t those conditions, in the morning, people eat casually to have energy to work, hardly considering what’s eaten or if it’s sufficient, and many don’t even have breakfast.
So, now seeing such a large breakfast suddenly, Liu Lingxiu thought it seed wasteful.
“It won’t be wasted, they’ll eat it later.”
Even so, Liu Lingxiu still felt it was too much.
But it was her first ti genuinely experiencing a European breakfast.
The two ate slowly, and by 8 a.m., Paris ti, when Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu left the dining room, that’s when the servants began eating breakfast.
When Housekeeper Eugene accompanied Ye Qiu outside, he said, “Young Master Ye, I’ve had those surrounding vineyards purchased.”
In fact, this was under the assistance of Count Charley, that they were bought.
Now looking around, they were all Ye Qiu’s vineyards.
“Is all this really yours?” Liu Lingxiu couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, all of it.”
Once again, Liu Lingxiu was utterly shocked.
Based on last year’s wine production, about 8,000 cases, or 80,000 bottles of premium wine, plus another two to three thousand cases from selectively grown grapes.
However, if we look at this year, yields have more than doubled.
