"This is the Houses of Parliament, and the Prime Minister's Inquiry on the BBC is held in the House of Commons......" Alice pointed to the standard Gothic building in front of her, but said regretfully: "I like Cameron a lot, it is rare to elect a handsome Prime Minister, but within a few days of doing so, he resigned willfully after Brexit, and I will never see him sitting in the House of Commons debating fiercely." ”

"Every year the Prime Minister's Question is held in the following month, and anyone can come in and observe, including foreigners, and no ......tickets are required."

SC Johnson is very interested, this is the equivalent of the Great Hall of the People, and it has to be felt. Walking into the building, first 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 the House of Lords and more modest in decoration than the House of Lords, it often stages many battles between the British Deyun Society, and I think of how many times Cameron, a witty boy, used humorous words to dismantle the Labour Party's stage in this room.

Coming out of the parliament, looking up is Big Ben, although its bell cannot be heard for the time being due to renovation, but it still does not prevent you from admiring its gorgeous Gothic architecture, glittering gold, whether under the tower or in the sky, 360 degrees, has its unique charm.

It's both a place where people celebrate the New Year and a place where the past is celebrated, and no one can ignore its strong presence on the River Thames.

It was too tiring to walk on both sides, so I went straight to the cruise, departing from the pier, passing through the stops of several important attractions along the way, and finally sailing to Greenwich. From the bow of the boat, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the scenery from the ancient Roman period to the modern London Eye.

Cross a reinforced suspension bridge, called the Millennium Bridge, which connects the south bank to the city and is only accessible to pedestrians. Like a silver belt on the River Thames, the light and slender shape is very different from the old and majestic bridges on the river.

Alice introduced: "This is the shaky thrilling scene at the beginning of the film "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood King", the Death Eaters invaded the Muggle world and made a big fuss, and the bridge destroyed in the play is here!"

SC Johnson is noncommittal, and now there are movie locations everywhere, but where there is a mountain and a lake under the mountain, there is no place that the director can't see.

In front is St. Paul's Church, a domed church in the Baroque style like a phoenix in flames, and its gorgeous dome can be glimpsed from the Tay River, which is a big bald head.

Disembark and walk slowly north, past Covent Garden, at first I thought it was really a park, but it turned out to be an old market. It's noisy, lively and full of art.

It was originally the largest wholesale market for vegetables, fruits and flowers, and people drank beer in the open square, and the typical ancient Roman market became more down-to-earth because of the people and beer.

Many people like to order a beer on the side of the street, a sandwich, and a street performance, and no matter how strange the combination is, it will be tolerated here.

If you're tired to death, head to The Rosebery Lounge for an authentic royal afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea is definitely a status symbol, a high-end way to socialize, and even the most iconic British life in this country. The aristocratic ladies of Downton Abbey are beautifully dressed and sit on the sun-drenched open-air lawn or in the lavishly decorated manor, enjoying a delicately plated afternoon tea at an elaborate table......

The daily life of the upper class society that has been passed down for a hundred years is vividly displayed, and I can't help but sigh that youth is only temporary, but elegance is a lifetime.

Alice said that the British aristocracy lived in country estates, and breakfast was very hearty, and lunch was relatively light, but the formal dinner did not start until 8 p.m.

The inventor of afternoon tea was the idle Duchess Anna Maria, who often felt hungry at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so she arranged for the maid to prepare bread, cream, and tea in the afternoon, and invited three or five confidants to talk about gossip, clothing, shopping, and scandals.

Later, it became more and more evil, and all the celebrities and ladies flocked to it, as if they were not noblewomen if they didn't drink something. Afternoon tea is popular all over the world, and even American upper-class women learn to enjoy afternoon tea at five-star hotels in New York.

The fame of the house grew, and it began to attract members of the royal family to book, after which the queen herself appeared to check in. The chef has served the old lady for 22 years, and even the wedding reception of Prince William and his wife is entrusted to him.

Order Earl Grey black tea, the old lady's favorite one. In China, we pay attention to drinking Pu'er in winter and drinking Longjing in summer, but here it can only be black tea. Maybe it has something to do with the weather in the UK, the cold and rainy seasons are like autumn and winter.

Alice is familiar with the road, and the question of adding milk or lemon to black tea depends entirely on personal taste. If you like a little freshness, choose lemon slices, and if you like a thick and heavy feeling, add whipping cream.

Usually the tea is poured first, and then other things are put in, and the tea is not too full. It is said that the afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace, when the weather is suitable, is arranged directly in the garden, and the princes will also play polo to cheer up.

All the big and small plates have been served for centuries: the savoury finger sandwich at the bottom, and the classic English muffin scone on the second.

The third layer is dessert cakes: such as fruit tarts and sponge cakes. The taste is excessive from salty to sweet from bottom to top, and as for those fashionable macarons and lightning puffs, they can't actually be on the classic traditional elegance.

A master of etiquette named William Hason once suggested that cupcakes, such a popular dessert, should never be included in the high-end afternoon tea plating!

Then it feels like a plate of stinky tofu, which appears in a grand manner on the full banquet of the Manchu and Han people.

Even if it is Wang Zhihe,

Not at all!

Pick up the dim sum elegantly, and eat it from the bottom up. Royal favourites include sponge cake made with honey and cream, fruit cake and sandwiches with smoked salmon and ham.

Especially the scones, an English muffin, without its afternoon tea, is like a dinner party without knives and forks. I don't know why, but this magical food enjoys a god-like presence in afternoon tea.

When you bite into it, a good scone looks the outside, but it tastes incredibly fluffy. When eating, you must break it by hand, not with a knife, and whether you can easily break it by hand is the highest standard to measure the quality of a scone.

Since tea is drunk, tea is of course the protagonist. Brew the tea leaves directly, then use a tea drain to filter out the tea residues, and pour them into a cup to drink. In the transparent glass teapot, when the hot water is poured down, you can see the tips of the tea leaves slowly opening in the water......

When pouring tea, the order of pouring tea varies depending on the tea set. If it is a bone china cup, pour cold milk first and then pour black tea, while in a regular tea cup, you can pour tea first and then milk or lemon.

Pour about 2/3 of the space in the cup just right, and then use the teaspoon to move back and forth to stir, do not turn in a circle, but also to avoid the teaspoon touching the wall of the cup to make a sound, as embarrassing as the steak knife rubbing the plate.

Alice gracefully picked up the cup, not to put her fingers through the handle of the cup, but to gently pinch the handle of the teacup with her thumb, index finger and middle finger, and slightly raise her little finger to maintain balance, but not to turn into an orchid finger.

It is said that in ancient Roman times, the well-educated social elite ate with only three fingers, and only the commoners used five fingers.

If you are lucky enough to be invited to someone's house, if the hostess asks if you want a cup of tea, you politely say no. She'll smile and ask again, are you sure?

You think for a moment, and in line with the principle of not bothering, you politely refuse again. She would go on to say that I was going to have a cup of tea anyway, so it was really by the way, and it wasn't a hassle at all.

This tug-of-war usually goes on several times, ending with a compromise that you can't hold on, until the two of you finally sit down and chat over tea.

After a set, SC Johnson is very greasy, fragrant, sweet, exquisite, and will always be the favorite thing of girls. To put it bluntly, the interval between lunch and dinner is too long, and the rich and glamorous sluts find an excuse to eat some small bits and pieces and chat about some gossip.

The sense of ritual is this thing, and the more you get it, the more you pretend to be forced. From tea, snacks, tableware, tablecloths, to waiters, music and other complete service systems have gradually formed.

Three or four o'clock in the afternoon is definitely the peak of work in China, and in this country, it is almost impossible to see a person going to work seriously.

As soon as you wake up in the morning, you can enjoy a cup at the bedside, which is called bedside tea; and then a cup of morning tea at breakfast, no matter how busy you are with official business in the morning, you have to stop for 20 minutes to break the tea, and in the afternoon, before work, you will have to drink tea and eat desserts.

Go home for another HighTea before dinner, and parting tea before going to bed. There's also a wide range of Tea-Party, Tea in garden, and Piic-Tea for weekend hikes......

A ballad goes like this: when the clock strikes four times, everything in the world stops for tea in an instant.
