Chapter 162: Night Cruise on the Thames (Part I)
Looking at a plate of Rhodes digging earthworms with a spoon and eating the soil with a happy face, and then looking at the plate of earthworms unearthed in front of me, I hesitated a few times and finally didn't dare to spoon, and silently pushed the plate to the side.
Although I have visited Wangfujing and Gui Street in the imperial capital, and I have also eaten roasted silkworm chrysalis and roasted scorpions, which are dark foods, but now in the face of this earthworm-like dessert, I find that my Taoism is still too shallow.
Seeing this, Flower raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Don't you taste it?" This is the signature of this shop, and it tastes very good. ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head, "No, I still can't accept this look. If you want to eat it, you can give it to you, I haven't touched it yet. ”
Flower said angrily, "Do you know what your name is? I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness! I would have liked to eat it, but unfortunately I am not blessed, I have diabetes and I have to eat less sweet things. If you don't eat it, just return it. ”
Rhodes, who was originally immersed in fighting desserts, suddenly raised his hand when he heard this, "Grandpa, me!" I want to eat! ”
With a snap of his fingers, Flower called the waiter over and handed him the earthworm as he said to Rhodes, "You already have one, don't you?" Add to that the two ice creams you just ate and you've had enough sweets today to eat any more. ”
Rhodes pouted dissatisfiedly, but instead of insisting or annoying the child's temper, he obediently listened to Flower's words.
I picked up the black tea and took a sip and was about to go to get the macarons on the top layer of the porcelain plate, but Flower quickly stopped me, "No, no, no, no, it's not right for you to do this?" ”
"Huh? Can't you eat this? ”
I looked at Flower with a head shake like a lion with his hair in confusion, and I didn't understand what he meant.
Flower picked up a small sandwich at the bottom of the disk and handed it to me, smiling, "No, it's not that you can't eat it, but you can eat this first." The order of eating refreshments should follow the rule of light to heavy, salty and sweet, eat from the bottom to the top, try the sandwich with a little salty taste first, let the taste buds slowly taste the true taste of the food, and then drink a few sips of black tea. Eating macarons like this will make your tongue covered with sweetness and not be able to taste anything else and the true taste of black tea! ”
"Enough of it."
I shook my head with a wry smile and took the sandwich.
The old man Blinked mischievously and said with a smile: "Since you said that you want to eat British, then you have to follow the rules of our British, right?" ”
It turned out that I was still not suitable to be an aristocrat, and I could not eat and chat in a hurry, like those legendary English elites, and my every move was full of so-called aristocratic atmosphere.
While Flower was still eating his salty sandwiches, I had eaten the food on the porcelain plate according to Flower's rule of taste from light to heavy, from salty to sweet. Bored, he took a muffin and put it in front of the big tiger and the second tiger.
The big tiger and the second tiger, who were standing lazily on the table and snuggling up to each other, saw the muffins and suddenly came to their senses, fanned their wings, and the two little guys separated at once. The big tiger didn't forget to distance himself from the second tiger and pull the muffin with his paws to make it closer to him.
The second tiger was angry when he saw the big tiger like this, and he didn't say a word to the big tiger. The big tiger was blinded by the sudden blow, and kicked back three steps, and the second tiger took this opportunity to quickly turn around with a muffin in his mouth and prepare to run.
Stand for me! That's mine!
The big tiger roared angrily, stepped away and ran towards the second tiger angrily. I hurriedly stopped the goods, and with the other hand took another muffin from the porcelain plate and gave it another piece of muffin, seeing that if this fight continued to make trouble, it would probably be a never-ending death match.
Looking at the big tiger and the two tigers who were guarding their muffins with their backs to each other, I suddenly rolled my eyes and said angrily: "Okay, you peony parrots are lovebirds and will never be separated for the rest of your life?" Good guy wants to get divorced for a muffin? You're too unscored, aren't you? ”
Flower, who had been paying attention to the big tiger and the second tiger, suddenly laughed, and his face was so red that he almost choked on saliva.
After the two little ones finished muffining and Flower and I drank the tea in the cups, the first afternoon tea in our lives finally came to an end.
Out of the dessert shop, Flower walked slowly towards the Thames River, and when he reached the river, it was just at dusk and sunset.
To be honest, the Thames is not as wide as the Huangpu River in Shanghai, and there are as many bridges on it as there are Suzhou Creeks. But the skies in London are cleaner than in Shanghai. Especially at dusk like this, this cleanliness is extremely important, allowing people to see the large flaming clouds in the sky, and the sun hidden in the clouds.
Flower smiled and said suddenly, "Do you want to take a boat?" ”
I didn't hesitate, "Of course, I would love to jump into the Thames and stand on the water right now." ”
Flower smiled and waved at me, bent down to pick up Rhodes and trotted forward, "Then come with me, while the sun still sets." You might even get some good shots. ”
After running forward for more than ten minutes, a pier appeared in front of me, went down to the pier to buy a ticket to cruise, as the cruise ship slowly moved towards the middle of the Thames, I looked at the river in the distance and the sky became one, for a while I felt that all the fatigue and troubles were in vain at this moment.
Flower sat next to me with Rhodes in his arms, and both grandparents and grandchildren were leaning on the railing to watch the Thames at sunset, and from time to time Flower looked down and whispered a few words to Rhodes, which made Rhodes laugh all the time.
I suddenly had a heart move, and I walked behind Flor and held up the SLR to take pictures of my grandfather and grandson, the Thames River and the sky in the distance.
In the photo, Rhodes is sitting in Flor's arms, blonde hair and blue eyes are extremely cute, and his face is full of smiles. Behind Rhodes, Flower looked down at Rhodes with a kind and warm smile. The sun hit the faces of the two of them, as if there was a force that could make people smile.
Walking back to his seat, Flower smiled and turned to look at me, "Remember what I told you during the day that at night, the London Eye would turn into a giant blue halo. Many people would choose to sit on the London Eye at that time, but I think it would be more beautiful to see the London Eye and London from a different perspective at night? ”
I nodded, and suddenly realized what Flauer meant, "You mean to say that it's a better angle to sit on this cruise ship at night and look at the London Eye?" ”
Flower smiled and nodded, "That's right. I bet you'll love it then. ”
