Chapter 262 There are reasons for mourning
"This is the Parliament Building, and the Prime Minister's questioning on the BBC was held in the House of Commons..." Alice pointed at the standard Gothic building in front of her, but unfortunately said: "I like Cameron very much. It is rare to choose a handsome prime minister. As a result, after a few days of work, he resigned because of his willful resignation after Brexit, and he could no longer see him sitting in the House of Commons debate fiercely."
"Every year, the Prime Minister's inquiry will be next month. Anyone can come in and listen to it. Foreigners are no exception, and there is no need for tickets..."
Johnson Johnson is very interested. This is equivalent to the Great Hall of the People. You must feel it. When you walk into the building, you will first go from the House of Lords to the House of Commons. The House of Lords is magnificent and the House of Commons is simple and solemn.
Although the House of Commons is smaller than that of the House of Lords and is simpler than that of the House of Lords, many British Deyun Club fights are often staged. I recall how many times Cameron, the witty Boy, had dismantled the Labor Party's station in this room with humorous words.
After coming out of the parliament, I looked up and saw the Big Ben. Although it is not possible to hear its bell due to renovations, it still does not prevent you from appreciating its gorgeous Gothic architecture. The golden coat, whether it is under the tower or at a height of 360 degrees, has its unique charm.
This is not only a place for people to celebrate the New Year, but also a place to commemorate the past. On the Thames, no one can ignore its strong sense of existence.
I was too tired to walk on both sides, so I went directly to cruise ships, set off from the pier, passed the stops of several important attractions, and finally drove to Greenwich. Standing at the bow of the boat, I could see the scenery on both sides, from ancient Roman buildings to the London Eye full of modern atmosphere.
Passing through a steel suspension bridge, called Millennium Bridge, connects the south bank with the city and is only for pedestrians to pass through. Like a silver belt on the Thames, it looks particularly unique compared to the ancient and majestic bridges on the river.
Alice introduced: "This is Harry Potter and the King of Mixed Race" at the beginning of the film, the Death Eaters invaded the Muggle world and made a big fuss, and the bridge destroyed in the play is here!"
Johnson is not convinced or not, there are filming sites everywhere now. Whenever there is a mountain and a lake at the foot of the mountain, there is no place that the director doesn’t like.
In front is St. Paul's Church. The dome church, known as the Baroque style, is like a phoenix nirvana in flames. You can see its gorgeous dome from the River Tai. To put it bluntly, it is a big bald head.
I got off the boat and walked slowly northward, passing Covent Garden. At first I thought it was really a park, but I found that it was an old market. It was noisy and lively and full of artistic atmosphere.
This place was originally the largest wholesale market for fruits and vegetables, and people were drinking beer in the open-air square. The typical Roman style market became more down-to-earth because of people and beer.
Many people like to order beer on the street with sandwiches and watch a street performance. No matter how strange the combination is, it will be included here.
I was so tired that I came to The Rosebery Lounge and ate the authentic royal afternoon tea.
Afternoon tea is definitely a symbol of identity, high-end social interaction, and even the most iconic British life in this country. The noble Lady of Downton Abbey dressed beautifully, sat on the sun-filled open-air lawn or in the luxuriously decorated manor, and enjoyed the exquisite afternoon tea scene on the carefully arranged dining table...
It fully demonstrates the daily life that has been passed down for a century of high society. It can’t help but sigh that young is only a moment, but elegant is lifelong.
Alice said that British nobles lived in rural estates back then, and breakfast was very rich and lunch was relatively simple, but formal dinner did not start until 8 pm.
The inventor of afternoon tea was Anna Maria, the duchess who was so tired that she was often hungry at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so she arranged for the maid to prepare bread, cream, tea, and invite three or five confidants to talk about the mountains in a grand manner, gossip, clothing, shopping, and scandals.
Later, the more the news became more and more evil, and all the ladies flocked to it, as if they were not noble women without drinking some. Afternoon tea was popular all over the world, even the upper-class American women learned it and enjoyed afternoon tea in a five-star hotel in New York.
The family became more and more famous and began to attract royal members to book. After that, the Queen appeared in person. The chef served the old lady for 22 years, and even the wedding banquet of Prince William and his wife was handed over to him.
Order Earl Black Tea, the old lady’s favorite one. In China, I emphasize drinking Pu'er and Longjing in winter, but here I can only be black tea. Perhaps it is related to the weather in the UK, and the cold and rainy year is very similar to autumn and winter.
Alice is very familiar with the way. The question of adding milk or lemon to black tea depends entirely on personal taste. If you like freshness, choose lemon slices, and if you like thick and thick feeling, add light cream.
Usually, tea is poured first and other things, and the tea cannot be too full. It is said that afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace is arranged directly in the garden in the appropriate seasons, and the princes will also play polo to cheer up.
All plates of all sizes are served on the table, and they are fixed for hundreds of years: the bottom layer is a salty finger sandwich, and the second layer is a classic English muffin - Sicon.
The third layer is dessert cake: such as fruit towers and sponge cakes. The taste is too high from bottom to top from salt to sweet. As for those fashionable macarons and lightning puffs, they are actually not as elegant as the classic and traditional.
A master of pretentious etiquette named William Hason once specifically proposed that cup cakes, such a very popular dessert, must not appear in high-quality afternoon tea platters!
Then it felt like a plate of stinky tofu appeared at the Manchu and Han banquet in a grand manner.
Even if it is Wang Zhihe,
Not even!
Elegantly pick up the dessert, and eat it from bottom to top. The royal family's favorite desserts include sponge cakes made of honey and cream, fruit cakes, and sandwiches with smoked salmon and ham.
Especially Scone, an English muffin, without its afternoon tea, is like a dinner party without knife and fork. I don’t know why, this magical food enjoys a god-like presence in afternoon tea.
Take a bite and a good scone looks hard on the outside but tastes extremely soft. You must break it with your hands when eating, not with a knife. Whether it can be easily broken with your hands is the highest standard for measuring the quality of a scone.
Since you drink tea, tea is of course the protagonist. Brew the tea leaves directly, then filter out the tea residue with the tea leak, pour it into a cup to drink. In a transparent glass teapot, when hot water pours down, you can see the tea leaves slowly blooming in the water dancing and flying lightly...
When pouring tea, the order of the tea set is different according to the different tea sets. If it is a bone porcelain cup, pour cold milk first and then black tea. If it is an ordinary tea cup, you can pour tea first and then milk or lemon.
Pour about 2/3 of the space in the cup, then move it back and forth with a teaspoon. Never turn it around directly, and avoid making a sound when the teaspoon hits the wall of the cup, which is as embarrassing as rubbing the plate with a steak knife.
Alice picked up the cup gracefully, and did not hook her fingers through the handle of the cup. She should gently pinch the teacup handle with her thumb, index finger and middle finger, and slightly raise her little finger to maintain balance, but she must not bend her fingers into orchids.
It is said that in ancient Roman times, well-educated social elites used only three fingers to eat, while only civilians used five fingers.
If you are lucky enough to be invited to visit someone else's house, if the hostess asks if you want a cup of tea, you politely say no. She will ask again with a smile, are you sure?
You think for a moment, and based on the principle of being a person without trouble, you politely refuse again. She will continue to say, I originally wanted to have a cup of tea, so it is really not trouble at all by the way.
This tug-of-war usually lasts several times, and finally compromises by your inability to hold on until you both finally sit down and chat while having tea.
After one set, Johnson Johnson is very flirtatious, fragrant, sweet, and exquisite, and is always the favorite thing for girls. To put it bluntly, it is very simple, but the interval between lunch and dinner is too long. The rich and charming sluts are just making excuses, eating some small pieces, and chatting about gossip.
The sense of ritual is more and more pretentious. A complete service system from tea, snacks, tableware, tablecloths, to waiters, music, etc. has gradually formed.
It is definitely the peak of work in China at 3 or 4 pm, and in this country, you can’t see anyone working seriously.
As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I enjoyed a cup at the head of the bed, which was called tea in front of the bed; I had another cup of morning tea for breakfast. No matter how busy I was in the morning, I had to pause for 20 minutes to stop tea when I put my mouth on the mouth. Before work in the afternoon, it was the legal time to drink tea and eat desserts.
Let’s go to HighTea again before going home for dinner, and there is also the farewell tea before bed. There are also the many names of Tea-Party, Tea in Peace in Peace in Peace in Peace in Peace in Peace in Peace in Peace in Peace in Peace in Peace in �
