Chapter 137: Fog City
At night, Isabella and her boyfriend were having fun together.
We counted the "Stars" together for a big meal. In France, we can find many Michelin three-star restaurants. The three stars are the highest grades rated by the "Michelin Book". There are only a hundred schools of thought in the world. The three stars have a delicious food that is unforgettable and are recommended to be specially arranged.
In fact, it is a high-end French dish that pays special attention to art. The form is very important. There are four full-time waiters for four people. The dishes are exquisite and there are many kinds, such as foie gras, truffles and roasted snails that the French advocate, and there are also desserts that cannot be stopped after the meal.
It took more than four hours for dinner. Although each dish was small, it was always full. After dinner, I walked on the Champs-Elysees, looked at the night view, looked at the Arc de Triomphe in the distance, walked with each other, and couldn't help but kissed... At that moment, An Feng experienced what the romantic capital was.
But the next day, I had to leave in a hurry and headed northward, London, England.
An Feng has long heard of London. The legendary fog and haze weather in the industrial era have caused many gentlemen and ladies. Perhaps this is the only way for economic development. Although there are occasionally fog in London, there is no haze, and fog and haze are the killers who hate it.
In addition, in An Feng's impression, London is also a "capital of exile". From Marx in the 19th century, Charles de Gaulle in the 20th century, and now to politicians and celebrities from various countries, although the ideology of various parties varies greatly, being able to exile to London means that you can basically escape from danger.
But no matter how much you hear, you are not as good as the native Englishman beside you. Joanna looked at the clouds below and turned to him and said, "Now London is no longer a gentleman with suits and leather shoes on the streets of the 20th century. Popularization and fashion trends have gradually replaced the traditional style."
Through film and television dramas, art has indeed rendered London a country of gentlemen. They are all black suits and top hats, and women are given priority everywhere. They have to let women walk inside when they go out. Why? The purpose is to make the mud and water splashed by cars passing by along the way can only fly to the gentlemen.
Joanna continued: "But one thing to note. In the local area, if you are not familiar with it, don't treat everyone as 'English', because it only represents England. If the people who are greeted are Scottish or Northern Ireland, they will be unhappy, and it is best to collectively call them Britons."
"Understand." An Feng nodded. In fact, he thought it was more appropriate to call it "Gugelu-Saxon".
...
The plane landed smoothly at the airport, pulling the trolley case in one hand and leaving with Joanna in the other.
There are still a lot of luggage that can be saved on the road, but some of them are thrown away... An Feng believes that if you take two trolley boxes yourself, it will be cumbersome; if you take one for a man and a woman, it will damage your gentlemanly demeanor, so it is limited to one trolley box and a few bags on your body.
Actually, it doesn’t matter. As long as you bring your credit card, you will be able to get a wardrobe, shoe cabinet, and jewelry box at any time when you go...
The subway in London is very developed, but Anfeng didn't have the chance to experience it. The hotel's concierge car had been waiting for a long time. In this regard, the British are very punctual. Put your luggage and ask the lady to go in first, and then it's their turn. The hotel we stayed at this time has a century-old history. I heard that renovations cost nearly 100 million pounds. Westerners' emotions towards buildings are indeed different from those in China. In China, they are most likely to turn them back.
The Rolls-Royce that was picked up and dropped off was parked at the entrance of the hotel, and there was a special waiter who opened the door to help pick up the luggage. The guests just had to follow them and climb up in an elevator that was probably fifty or sixty years old. They lived in a royal suite - well, the presidential suite is actually not the top in the UK, because it is a constitutional monarchy, and the king (queen) is the head of state. So the hotel is naturally the royal one.
In fact, the Royal Suite is not quite spacious, with classic European style, large bed, soft chairs, high wall paintings. The shiny chrome tableware has a living room and three rooms. According to the top suites Anfeng has lived in before, it is very small and does not have a full-time butler. The only one is Joanna likes it.
After putting down his luggage, Joanna ran to the balcony outside and greeted him: "Dear, come, the guards team for the change of guards are here."
This is why she specifically asked for it. Because the hotel room is not important, what is important is its unique location. This location is really advantageous. You can see the team passing by at the Buckingham Palace once a day.
Walking out and guarding the balcony with her, the cavalry team appeared. Black horses walked slowly, and soldiers wearing red robes of mages but with cavalry swords passed by...
Joanna curled her lips: "This is not a mage team."
Then there were also red uniforms and black pants, and military bands dressed like Prince William’s wedding dress, but the high bearskin hat on their heads made them a little funny.
After the team passed, An Feng suddenly asked: "You said that the teams of change duty gathered in front of Buckingham Palace to hold a ceremony all day long. Will Her Majesty the Queen find it very noisy?"
Joanna was stunned for a moment: "Why are your questions always so tricky?"
An Feng shook his hair: "Please forgive me for being unruly all my life."
He learned afterwards that Elizabeth II didn't like this kind of ritual. Why... The old lady is so old that she wants to be clean, but these energetic young men are at the door of her house at 11 o'clock every morning. Can you bear it if it were you?
The only shame is that An Feng was unable to go to the scene to see the handover ceremony. Joanna said she had been tired of watching it for a long time... But we haven't shared our memories yet, right?
However, I was a little tired after traveling north for many days. The temperature in August and September was not high and it was a little cold. An Feng hugged Joanna and lay in the warm bath... Well, the advanced bath with a spa can massage the sore muscles in the body in all aspects, and "by the way" to appreciate each other's bodies. Of course, I have to press and touch them again.
After the spirits were met, An Feng hugged her and kissed her, savoring the afterglow of the two sides' fusion, and whispered: "It's so soft, I can't bear to let you go."
Joanna smiled shyly.
...
In the afternoon, because she was leaving London tomorrow, many attractions were passed directly, and she was pulled to Oxford Street. On this street less than three kilometers, there were brand stores and large shopping malls you could imagine. Joanna was full of energy and sweeping the streets with light steps.
An Feng was led by her and his eyes were staring around. London was not the group of gentlemen in suits and ties on the street he imagined, and ladies in long skirts and top hats were more casual and people who were dressed casually. However, Joanna was dressed in a formal and casual manner, and could see the shadow of the elegant noble lady in the last century.
"Let's go to Selfridges?" Joanna asked back.
"It's up to you." An Feng said.
Joanna was very happy. An Feng was puzzled. She was not so enthusiastic about shopping in France. After he entered, she realized that it was very big. Then there was... a paradise of shoes. There were a wide variety of high heels in all kinds of styles. Almost all the trends in the world can be found, and some of them were just taken from the production line.
An Feng understood that apart from jewelry, Joanna could not resist the temptation of high heels.
But he couldn't resist it, because Joanna's legs were long and straight, and the proportion of her calves and thighs was very suitable. It was amazing to wear appropriate high heels.
There are not only shoes here, but also all kinds of luggage and clothing. After walking around inside, I changed into new clothes after several hours, and turned into noble style. Even An Feng put on a suit jacket and asked Joanna to pick them up and drop them off.
At night, he tried "Dark Cuisine of the British Empire" without knowing how to wear clothes. He had never seen such a casual meal. It is said that it was called "beef, fruit, lobster cooked", but... why did it come up with a large collection of raw meat that was stirred into a ball of chopping board, where was it cooked? Is this a beautiful joke made by God?
A few bites of it, to be fair, is OK... Generally, he thinks that it is OK to eat something that cannot kill people.
An Feng put down the knife and said to Joanna seriously: "I think I understand why Bei Ye can eat all the delicious food in the world without any scruples."
"Why?" Joanna blinked.
