Listening to Muxue's polite words, Ai Rui raised his eyebrows. Confucianism can be taught. Then he saw Ai Rui elegantly and gentlemanly pulling out a chair for Mia. Mia smiled and thanked Ai Rui.
After setting up the chair and laying out the napkin, Retimia returned to sit opposite Mia.
Mia turned her head and smiled at Muxue, and then began to teach.
"Dear, let's get to know the tableware first."
"There will be a lot of content in what I said, but you must memorize it today without missing a word. Ai Rui will do a spot check tomorrow... Don't think that a wrong word is a fluke, he will not let you go, ok
?”
Muxue blinked her eyes, looked at the dazzling array of silver tableware on the table, and smiled in her heart. This knowledge was also recorded in her mother's notebook, but no one had taught it formally. Now she can go through it once and consolidate what she knows.
learned knowledge.
"Broadly speaking, there are three categories: knives, forks, and spoons."
"Knives are divided into eating knives, fish knives, meat knives, butter knives, and fruit knives. Forks are divided into eating forks, fish forks, meat forks, and shrimp forks. Spoons are divided into spoons, dessert spoons, and teaspoons."
"The specifications of public knives, forks and spoons will be significantly larger than those used by yourself, so please pay attention to this."
"How to arrange the tableware——"
"Place the plate in the center of the dinner table. Place neatly folded napkins or paper flowers in the shape of beautiful stamens on the plate. Knives, forks and spoons on both sides should be arranged in neat parallel lines. If there are seat cards, place them on the place plate.
In front of the table. All table knives are placed on the right side of the place plate, with the blades facing the place plate. Various spoons are placed on the right side of the table knives, with the center of the key facing up. The table forks are placed on the left side of the place plate, with the tines facing up.
There are usually only three sets of knives and forks placed at a seat. The bread plate is placed on the left hand side of the guest, with a bread knife (i.e. a butter knife, used for spreading butter and jam, not for cutting bread), various wine glasses and
The water cup is placed in the front right. If there is pasta, the spoon and fork used to eat the pasta are placed horizontally in front..."

Mia is like a top food expert, eloquently talking about the history of Western food, as well as the essence, essentials, and techniques of Western food...
From the raw materials and tools commonly used in Western food, to Western pastries, to the forms of Western food...etiquette...steps...all the way to the celebrities and anecdotes that happened in the Western food world...
For three full hours, Muxue and everyone in Shuiyunjian who was lucky enough to be in this villa felt that they had witnessed the history of the entire Western world.
Everyone looked at Muxue with pity, thinking that something must have happened to Miss Muxue. In three hours, Miss Mia had finished at least dozens of books. It was impossible for Muxue to remember them all and pass the exam tomorrow.
When Mia smiled and wiped her lips with a napkin, every movement was so charming. No matter every detail, it revealed the softness of an oriental woman, combined with the wildness of the West.
Watching Muxue was more enjoyable than watching an idol TV series. For the next hour and a half, Muxue and Ai Rui performed Western etiquette together.
Their class was not finished until three o'clock in the afternoon.
In fact, it was more than three hours. The extra time was regarded as a reward from Ai Rui to Muxue, without counting the money.
Mu Xue felt that Ai Rui's image was much taller for a moment. You know, saving one hour is equivalent to saving one million, which is not a small sum.
