Chapter 11: Beautiful women also love dark cuisine
Bai Yujing was originally going to climb Carlton Hill as soon as possible, but Emma told Bai Yujing that Carlton Mountain is only at night, and the scenery is the most beautiful, Bai Yujing followed Emma's advice, so the first stop of the day was St. Giles' Cathedral.
When he came to the outside of St. Giles' Cathedral, Bai Yujing felt very familiar, he seemed to have passed by here yesterday, the outside of the cathedral was very lively, people came and went, and there were many stalls with small sheds, and the door of the church did not know whose statue was standing, the pedestal was particularly high, and Bai Yujing had to raise his head to see the appearance of the statue.
When you walk in, you will find a different scene, especially the stained windows of the church, where the ancient sacred picture is painted on the glass, and the sunlight shines through the stained windows, which is full of a sense of holiness.
"There seems to be a show. Emma pulled Bai Yujing forward, and Bai Yujing immediately noticed that there was a group of children practicing chorus in front of her, and there was a teacher in front of her.
Bai Yujing, like other tourists, also acted as an audience, and the child's singing voice felt like a natural sound, making people unconsciously indulge in it.
Emma also leaked a nostalgic scene: "It was the teachers of the school who took the students to rehearse here, and when I was a child, our teachers also took me to practice at the local local church. ”
Next, Bai Yujing and Emma also went to see the National Museum of Scotland together, the museum is very spectacular and very vast, the hall can stand in the middle to see the top floor, Bai Yujing found in Edinburgh, it seems that museums, art galleries and other exhibition halls are free, you don't need money to see.
In the museum you can see all kinds of antiques and treasures from all over the world, think about it, Great Britain was not less in the world to grab things, take a look, among which China is still a minority, Egypt's inheritance treasures are the most, even the pharaoh's coffin has been carried over.
In the afternoon, I went to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, this palace is the official residence of the Queen in Scotland, but it is a public place, you can play, but you can't take pictures inside, because I have visited Edinburgh Castle yesterday, so for the Palace of Holyroodhouse, there is no such shocking feeling as yesterday.
Bai Yujing felt that the ruins of the Holyrood Monastery in the backyard made Bai Yujing more interested, the ruins were almost destroyed, but they had another kind of incomplete beauty and historical vicissitudes.
"Let's take a break here. Emma said to Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing and Emma sat down here together, and after a long walk, it was time to take a breath.
"Show me that day. Emma immediately remembered something after sitting down, and said to Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing was going to take Emma back to study it, and immediately took it out of his backpack: "You can take it, you can take it back and take it to see, if you have any information or important clues, just tell me." ”
"Alright then!" Emma nodded, but instead of putting away the diary, she picked it up in her hand and flipped through it.
Bai Yujing didn't bother her, she watched Emma flip through the diary tightly, Emma who was serious and got serious, there was a particularly attractive feeling, Emma's face shape was not similar to the special three-dimensional feeling of the West, a bit of mixed blood delicacy, a golden curly hair, I don't know if it was born or dyed, but it was very neat and supple.
"Do you have a pen, give it to me, I'll make a note here!" said Emma suddenly, without raising her head.
Bai Yujing immediately hurriedly flipped through his backpack and handed a ballpoint pen to Emma: "Here!"
Emma circled the notes, the notebook was not thick, and the personnel written at the beginning were written page by page, and each diary was not too long, so it still looked very fast, Emma quickly circled all the clues she wanted to find, and then turned her head to look at Bai Yujing, only to find that Bai Yujing was peeking at herself, staring at her with her eyes motionless.
Emma immediately ruffled her hair, "Hey, daze boy, wake up!"
Bai Yujing was ridiculed, and immediately embarrassed, he did stare at Emma while he was not paying attention just now, and was caught: "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, you know, you are very, very beautiful!"
"Really?" Being praised by a man like this, no matter which girl will feel happy, not to mention that Bai Yujing is not bad in the first place, he belongs to the kind of man who is a little bookish, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, not delicate, but it is attractive, this looks at his ex-girlfriend Li Xinyan, you know, if it is too stumbling, Li Xinyan will not be able to fall in love with Bai Yujing at that time, no matter what, love always needs a reason at the beginning.
If you talk about other aspects, Bai Yujing can only lick his face and say with self-indulgence, the instrument is well lived.
Bai Yujing saw Emma looking at herself happily, and immediately said, "Of course it's true." ”
"Okay, I forgive you, give you a chance to invite me to dinner!" At noon, it was Emma who invited Bai Yujing to eat, because Bai Yujing had always paid for it before, Emma must insist this time, and Bai Yujing did not refuse, after all, it is a small matter, and Bai Yujing is not willing to worry too much about these things many times.
I ate salmon at lunch, and Scottish seafood is also a major feature, but the price is also very gratifying, it can be seen that Emma's family conditions should still be very good, at least not the kind of family that is too short of money, and the character is also very hearty and generous, with her, there is no pressure.
"Then, let's go eat steak together in the evening!" Bai Yujing thought for a while, it had always been Emma who was recommending, and this time he made his own decisions and proposed what to eat. "I just saw one on the side of the road and it seems to be pretty good. ”
Emma nodded, "Okay then, listen to you!"
Bai Yujing immediately ran to the store with Emma, which was a white-themed shop, and the overall style had the feel of a fairy tale house, the store was full of flowers, and the glass of the windows and the table tops were wiped clean.
At this time, the business in the store was very hot, and the two finally found one to sit down, Bai Yujing picked up the menu, and a waitress immediately stepped forward.
"I want two steaks, mine is medium-rare, what about yours?" Bai Yujing asked Emma.
"Do you want to try the medium-rare one, it tastes much better! Mine ...... too" Emma said a word, but immediately changed her attention and ordered something to the waiter that made Bai Yujing feel particularly weird.
"No, I just want a haggis!"
Bai Yujing didn't know what this thing was, but Emma looked mysterious, and Bai Yujing then consulted Emma's opinion and asked for two more cups of Bloody Mary.
When the dish was served, Bai Yujing knew what the so-called haggis was, which can be called haggis pudding, a traditional Scottish food, usually made with lamb filling and lamb belly, but that appearance is really not very good-looking, it looks like a dark dish.
But it seems that Emma likes it very much, "The haggis here are very good, they are handled very well, there is no bad smell, do you want to try one." ”
Although Emma recommended it, Bai Yujing looked at it and still felt a little scary, "Forget it, I'll still have a steak, such a serving is enough for me to eat alone." ”
The steak is grilled just right, not too raw to make Bai Yujing feel difficult to eat, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and more importantly, the taste is all into the steak, eat it in one bite, the lips and teeth are fragrant, for Bai Yujing, who has been running around all afternoon, his stomach is empty, and eating such a big mouthful of beef is really a supreme enjoyment.
Look at Emma, Emma is tasting the dark cuisine in Bai Yujing's eyes at the moment, which was cut into small pieces by Emma, and then eaten like this, looking at Emma's expression of great enjoyment, as if it is really a rare Scottish specialty.
"Here, cheers!" Emma raised her glass and touched it with Bai Yujing, and the ice cubes in the cup spun with a clear sound.
The two of them ate slowly, and after enjoying the meal, it was not too early at the moment, but the night in Scotland came relatively late, and it was not dark until after nine o'clock in the evening, so the sky was still bright at the moment.
"It's a great day, why don't we let me send you home?" Bai Yujing wanted to visit Emma's house, but felt that this proposal was presumptuous.
Emma shook her head, "We'll go to see the sunset together in the morning." ”
Bai Yujing suddenly remembered that this morning he said that he would go to visit Carlton Mountain together in the evening, but he forgot about it, and immediately patted his head: "I'm sorry, I actually forgot, I still want to stand on Carlton Mountain in the morning and take a few good photos!"
"It's not too late!" Emma made a departure gesture, and Bai Yujing immediately started the next goal with her, climbing Calton Hill and watching the sunset over Edinburgh.
