*************
Cheshire's Chiss Tavern, standing in front of the door, Jin Muchen felt as if he had come to a museum, this six-story building, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a tavern.
It was an old building, with red perimeter brick walls that looked a little blackened, and the word "Gentleman-only" was written on the doorway.
There are no windows on the first floor, and there are many Victorian decorations on the exterior walls, and the building itself looks like an antique from the ages, but not a tavern at all.
"It's a great place, the building itself is more than 500 years old, it's one of the top 10 taverns in London, and it used to be a convent."
Standing in front of the door, Helen explained to Jin Muchen with a smile, and Jin Muchen was also stunned when he heard it, no wonder this building looked so strange.
Looking at the words on the door that the gentleman entered, Jin Muchen couldn't help but have an irrepressible curiosity about this tavern.
It wasn't yet the tavern's business hours, so the door was closed, and Diana stood in front of it, reached out and knocked on it, and it took a long time for a sound to come from inside the door, and then a curly-haired man came to the door.
"It's not business hours...... Forehead...... It turned out to be Miss Diana, quick, please come in. ”
The young man with freckles on his face, after seeing Diana's face clearly, the original impatient expression on his face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a somewhat flattering smile.
It seems that this Diana's background is not small, Jin Muchen thought to himself.
Follow Diana. The three of them entered the tavern. The interior of the tavern was dimly lit. This is of course related to the style of the building, there are no windows on the entire first floor, and it is not known what the people who built the house in the first place thought.
Unlike ordinary pubs, there is no open bar here, but when you enter, you will see private rooms that are not common in British pubs.
The curly-haired man in front led the way, and the three of them went up to the third floor with ease, and then came to the door of a private room. The hostess pushed open the door, and the three entered.
"Bring us a pint of amber beer, and a single malt whisky that I used to have here, and a few of your specialties."
Diana stood at the door and said to the hostess, who nodded busily, obviously Diana was a regular here, and this room might still be a private room reserved by her.
Jin Muchen entered the private room, the area of this private room is not small, about more than 20 square meters, and a row of sofas leans against the corner next to the bed. In front is a small coffee table, and there is something going on on the opposite wall. There is also a toilet indoors, the decoration is a little old, but it has a unique taste, if it weren't for the dark decoration here, Jin Muchen even wondered if he had come to the private room of a certain KTV in China.
The three of them took their seats, and soon the hosts brought drinks and some food, amber beer is the signature of this shop, the golden drink, the color looks very much like amber, which is why this beer gets its name.
It tastes like a sweet aroma of malt, unlike other beers, the entrance will feel bitter, the taste of this beer is slightly sour, and it also has a sweet taste of wheat fermentation, which gives Jin Muchen a feeling that the taste is very similar to the kvass that he has drunk in China, but it is not as sweet as kvass, very unique, Jin Muchen only took a sip and liked the taste.
French fries, paired with typical British fried fish, seem to be very simple, but with such beer, it tastes unique, especially after it is paired with the homemade tomato sauce here, Jin Muchen feels a little unstoppable after eating it.
With Helen's thread, Jin Muchen and Diana quickly became acquainted, it turned out that Helen and Diana were not only classmates, but also a bit of distant relatives.
Her mother is a distant side branch of Diana's family, this time she came to the UK to spend a holiday with Diana, and today is also on a whim, so she went to the antique street to go around, but she didn't expect to encounter such an accident.
Because Jin Muchen saved the two of them, the two of them were grateful to Jin Muchen in their hearts, needless to say, they took turns toasting and drinking with Jin Muchen.
Helen doesn't look small, but the amount of alcohol is not weak at all, and after a glass of beer, her face is not red at all, and Diana has opened Jin Muchen's eyes.
He and Helen were just with beer, but she drank whiskey, and they and whiskey were all sipped and tasted slowly, but this girl was the kind that was dry, and the boldness of drinking wine made Jin Muchen feel a little embarrassed.
And this girl's amount of alcohol is very unusual, she drank three glasses in a row, even if she only poured a little bit each time, but it was also about one or two whiskeys, and this girl drank three sips in a row, but she didn't even have a red face.
Jin Muchen felt a little ashamed of this amount of wine!
Because of Helen's introduction, coupled with the use of wine as a lubricant, Jin Muchen and Diana soon lost that strangeness and began to become acquainted.
And this girl doesn't know what's going on, whenever she drinks with Jin Muchen, she always likes to look at his eyes, those big blue eyes that are close to pale green, Jin Muchen feels a little hot when she looks at it.
He didn't know if this girl was such a temperament, or because she was naturally so enthusiastic, anyway, her attitude made him feel a little confused.
Sometimes she looked at her eyes, always looking a little thoughtful, which made Jin Muchen feel very strange.
If this girl is not Helen's friend, he doesn't mind having a fight with her, he is not a gentleman, he is just a young man with strong blood, the outside world is so exciting, there are so many temptations @, he doesn't mind changing his taste occasionally.
But as soon as he thought that the other party was Helen's friend, his little idea of moving immediately went out, and coupled with this Diana's inexplicable origin and identity, Jin Muchen felt a little constrained.
Just when the three of them were in a high mood, suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside, Diana shouted to come in, and then a figure pushed the door and walked in.
When he saw the person who came, Jin Muchen was startled, and his original drunkenness suddenly sobered up, and he almost didn't jump up from the sofa.
Because he knew the person who came in, it was the same one he had seen on TV last night who was ridiculed by him, and only knew how to talk about it, and he was strong on the outside. Kingston.
What is he doing here, are they here to arrest themselves?
But when he saw that Bobby. When Kingston whispered in front of Diana, he knew that he was overthinking, and it seemed that this guy should have come to apologize.
It's just that Diana kept her face cold, stood there with her arms crossed, and didn't speak, obviously not very satisfied with the apology of the first brother in Scotland Yard.
At this moment, a burst of heat and a familiar smell of perfume came to Jin Muchen's ears, he felt a little itchy, but he didn't move away, he knew that it was Helen who came over.
"Hee-hee, blessed are you kid? Looks like Diana has a crush on you. ”
Helen's words had a bit of a hint of ridicule, and Jin Muchen's heart fluttered when he heard it, but he still pretended to be calm on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense, by the way, what's the origin of this Diana? I've seen that person on TV, the first brother of Scotland Yard, which is equivalent to the first brother of the American police industry. ”
Jin Muchen was very curious about Diana's identity, the first brother of Scotland Yard came to apologize in person, in front of her, like a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy, what is the origin of this woman.
Could it be that she really has something to do with the late Princess Diana?
"Cut, what about the first brother in Scotland Yard? You know, she's the current Duke of Kent! ”
Hearing Helen say this, Jin Muchen was also stunned, he didn't expect this woman to be a nobleman!
"Duke of Kent? Sounds like a thing, is their family very powerful? ”
Jin Muchen didn't know much about the British royal family, so he asked casually, but in exchange for Helen's eyes, he looked like an old hat.
"The Queen's family, do you think it's powerful?"
Helen said this, but Jin Muchen was taken aback, it turned out that this Diana was actually a member of the British royal family, so it was no wonder that the first brother of Scotland Yard was like a dog in front of her.
Although the current British royal family is the mascot of the British government and has no actual power, in fact, the influence of this family on Britain is far more than what it seems on the surface.
As one of the representatives of the ancient royal family of Europe, and the founder family of the empire on which the sun never sets, the influence of this family on the whole of Britain and even Europe can even be said to be unparalleled.
On the surface, they are no longer involved in politics, but in fact, in the British House of Lords, there are countless dogs they have planted, if you make them unhappy, then even if you are the British Prime Minister, you have to step down obediently.
Therefore, the first thing every British prime minister does after coming to power is to see the current queen and swear allegiance, which is not a secret in the British upper class.
"The Queen's granddaughter? But I don't think I've heard of such a princess in the UK? ”
Although Jin Muchen doesn't know much about the British royal family, he has also heard some of the most basic information about the British royal family, and the current Queen of England seems to have only two grandchildren, and as for the granddaughter, he really hasn't heard of it.
When Helen heard him say this, she could only reach out and touch her forehead: "My God, don't you care about the most famous royal family in the world?" The Duke of Kent's family is not a direct family member of the Queen, this title is the title of the Queen's uncle's family, so you should always understand, right? (To be continued......)
