"I didn't prepare the ingredients in advance at home, and the flavor of the cooking was more British style, which may not suit your taste, so bear more!"

Yang Wanying was a little embarrassed, a compatriot from China came, and she didn't have anything to eat and drink to entertain her, which made her feel a little blushing!

"It's okay, I've eaten enough in China, and I'm still very satisfied with the dishes that tend to be in the authentic British style!"

Liu Caihong hurriedly shook her head, saying that she was very satisfied, to be honest, she was a guest at someone else's house, not to mention the accommodation and catering expenses, and she was warmly welcomed by others, she was already a little embarrassed!

Came in a hurry, didn't prepare anything, came empty-handed, the master's family not only didn't mind, but also treated her so well, she should be embarrassed to say it!

"Xiao Liu, when you came from China, was it snowing over there?"

Xiao Sihua fell asleep, Denise had just finished feeding, and at this time she could finally get rid of this little burden and come over for a meal!

With Yang Wanying's help, the burden on her body will be much lighter, otherwise there will be a lot of trivial things pestering her, then she will have to vomit to death!

"Well, it seems to be snowing, and the Yellow River is freezing early this year!"

Wuhai belongs to the Hetao area, that is, the beginning of the Yellow River's "several" shape, the latitude here is relatively high, and it is close to the Siberian Plain, so the cold air from Siberia will pass through the Yin Mountain to the south, and the winter here will come earlier!

Cen Shen's "Hu Tian is flying snow in August" is actually talking about this area!

The Yellow River is the fifth largest river in the world, and its water flow is huge, so by normal standards, the Yellow River will not freeze!

However, because the Yellow River has changed slightly in one dimension in the Hetao area, the Yellow River has been cut off!

In winter, the latitude of the Hetao area in the middle and upper reaches will be relatively low, especially at the foot of Yinshan Mountain at the top of the zigzag, the temperature is the lowest, and the water flow is also small, so it is easy to freeze, and if the upper reaches are frozen, the downstream is easy to break the flow, that is, in winter, the water flow in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is significantly reduced or even completely without water!

After 1972, the Yellow River was cut off for a longer and longer period of time, and for the hundreds of millions of people on both sides of the Yellow River who depend on the Yellow River for irrigation and living, the crisis of water shortage caused by the flow interruption is becoming more and more serious!

Therefore, in order to control the situation of the Yellow River, the state built the Xiaolangdi Reservoir, which can prevent floods and flood control, and can also open the sluice gate in winter to release water, replenish the water source, and prevent the flow from being broken, since 2000, the situation of the Yellow River breaking off has rarely happened!

And this side of Wuhai belongs to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which is completely outside the coverage of Xiaolangdi, and what should be frozen is still frozen, which is not ambiguous at all!

"The Yellow River freezes every year, that is, the temperature in the Tang Dynasty was very high, and as a result, rhinoceros elephants and other things ran to Guanzhong! It's a pity, it's a pity that Guanzhong has become like this!"

Lin Quan shook his head and sighed a little when he mentioned Guanzhong, this is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, and the two greatest dynasties, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, were all made here and then shocked the world!

But for various reasons, Guanzhong is no longer the scene of the year, and Guanzhong was the most prosperous area in the world!

"Well, there will be such a problem when there are more people, my dad said, he said that after the desertification is eradicated in the future, Guanzhong will definitely restore prosperity!"

Liu Caihong still looks very optimistic, but Lin Quan is not as optimistic as her, Guanzhong used to be the center of exchanges between the East and the West, plus it is the capital of a country, all good things are concentrated here, so it is understandable that it is very prosperous!

And now Guanzhong has lost the status of the capital, and the environment is far less than the original, in today's globalization, the geographical location of Guanzhong has greatly limited its development, and the barriers that were relied on before have now become their own obstacles, and the geographical location is far less good than that of the coastal places, and it is almost impossible to restore the status of the Han and Tang dynasties!

"Xiao Liu, do you have any plans for Christmas? We are going back to London for Christmas, do you want to go to London with us?"

Denise didn't know much about Chinese history, so she couldn't interject about the topic of conversation between the two of them, and only asked after they had finished speaking.

"Well, I'm going to go to Cambridge University to have a look, I wonder if they're open for Christmas?"

"Cambridge, that's not very far, the straight-line distance is only about 100 kilometers, and if you drive, it will only take more than an hour to drive faster!"

When it comes to Cambridge, Denice knows better, after all, this is one of the two most famous universities in the UK, one is the University of Oxford and the other is the University of Cambridge!

Speaking of which, these were originally just two colleges, but later because they became too famous, they gradually became two business cards of the United Kingdom!

After the fall of the British Empire, when people think of Britain, they no longer think of the empire on which the sun never sets, but the loot showrooms left over from the empire - the British Empire Museum and the British institutions of higher learning, Oxford and Cambridge!

The tuition fees in the UK are very expensive, the university tuition fees are more expensive than those in the United States, and there are not many scholarships or anything, so Cambridge and Oxford have gradually become a growth point that drives the economic development of the UK!

As a result, although these two universities are British universities, a large number of students are from all over the world, including students from the Middle East, Asia and Southeast Asia.

It's funny to say that after the gradual decline of the manufacturing industry in the UK, the education industry has become more and more prosperous, and various pheasant universities in China have begun to increase!

In recent years, although Oxford University and Cambridge University have gradually been surpassed or even further away by American universities such as Harvard, Princeton, and MIT because of government subsidies, the British are still caught in the strange circle of money and can't extricate themselves.

"Let's go back to London first, and after Christmas, if you want to go to Cambridge, you can go by yourself, anyway, we will stay in London until after New Year's Day!"

The main reason for returning to London for Christmas was to visit Denise's grandfather, Sir Frydon's health had deteriorated a little, and he couldn't go far, so Lin Quan and the others planned to take advantage of Christmas to see where he was, and by the way, they would spend Christmas together!56
