The appetizer of the wedding reception will be the oysters, which are often thought to make people feel romantic!

Perhaps a superb rock oyster from the west of Mersey Island on the Essex coast:

The oyster business has been in business since the late 18th century, and fresh oysters can be served all year round (the local oyster season is after September).

Another great place to sample oysters is the trendy town of Whitstable, Kent, which hosts an annual oyster festival.

As for the main course, they could follow the practice of the royal wedding in 1923 and have lamb (lamb) as the main course:

After all, the couple will be married in Wales, where the best lamb can be served.

This is similar to the concept of paying attention to the origin of ingredients in later generations.

For example, a dish that used to be simply called "lamb" now requires a menu with the words "Welsh spring lamb" or, more precisely, "Welsh salt marsh lamb" – they are the best lamb available on the market today.

In the same way, later at the restaurant, you can not only eat "beef", but also "Welsh black beef".

For example, the Old Bull's Inn in Yeald in Borimas – a historic inn that is one of the best restaurants/hotels in Angsey – serves both types of beef.

Health experts have been emphasizing that people should not consume too much salt, but if it is to spice up food, sea salt from the Isle of Angosey is the best choice.

Many of the country's top restaurants use the famous Halen sea salt as a seasoning, including Spain's Elbrie Restaurant, Chef Heston-Blumenthal's Fat Duck Restaurant, and Borimas's Yeald Old Bull Head Inn.

If chefs are struggling with pudding choices, they should head to the Cotswolds area west of London to get inspired by the pudding clubs there! The Pudding Club is housed in the Cotswolds' 'Three Ways Mansion Hotel' and hosts anniversary celebrations.

The club's mission is to maintain the tradition of English pudding, with weekly tastings for everyone;

After a trio of rustic entrees, a seven-course traditional pudding will satisfy the expectations and bring the evening to a climax with cheers.

These puddings include classic popular favourites such as toffee pudding and date pudding, as well as unique varieties such as Sussex Pond pudding and Lord Randall pudding.

Etonmax is a dessert made with strawberries, cream and meringue, which may trigger a hint of nostalgia for the newcomer.

If a dish consists of a cheese, it can be difficult to choose which cheese to choose.

According to the British Cheese Council, there are more than 100 types of cheese produced in the UK, including many "protected" brands, such as Stilton cheese and West County Farmhouse Cheddar cheese.

The wedding went smoothly and the guests were happy – but in the unlikely event that there was a last-minute shortage, they could always send someone to the grocery market to buy it.

But that didn't happen and it went smoothly from start to finish.

At the thank-you dinner after the wedding, Li Yaoyang met a young man who called himself William.

Of course, this William is not William, this little William has black hair, and he looks like he has a bit of Oriental blood, and he may also be of Indian descent?

However, Li Yaoyang thought badly, this man was born in the Windy City of Chicago, and was a descendant of German Rhineland immigrants in the early 19th century.

His father, who was a prosecutor at the age of eight, died of illness, and he returned with his mother to his mother's home in Cedar Rapids, a small town called Cedar Rapids, until he graduated from high school, so he often thought of himself as a typical small-town Iowa youth.

Aside from his father's good name, his poor family did not provide him with much help for his future development, and he attended Coy College, which was not a prestigious school, and there was no noble person to guide him in his career plan.

With a certain randomness, William's coming-of-age began with a trip to Paris after graduating from college, where he was fortunate enough to get a job as a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune.

William's life is like a meandering river, his grandfather once participated in the Battle of Gettysburg, and when he was a child, William always liked to review this tough battle with his grandfather over and over again.

At the time of his birth, Chou Guo was still a vast and undeveloped country, with most people living in small towns or rural areas, and the process of urbanization in Chou Guo had just begun.

In his writing, the small-town atmosphere of Mark Twain's time seems to have not gone away.

Here's what he said:

"As I grew up in this town, I found that although they were full of Christian fervor, they were in fact extremely conservative, stubborn, somewhat self-righteous, slightly snobbish, and obsessed with forcing others to conform to their narrow and dry morals."

In the more than ten years that William grew up, the wounds brought by the Civil War to the country have healed, and the First World War gave the ugly country a good opportunity to expand overseas, and the ugly country is also enjoying the convenience of a unified domestic market.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific, the Gilded Age dominated by capital has descended upon the nations of the manifest destiny.

At that time, Coolidge, the boss of the ugly country, was also preaching a similar gospel:

"Business is the top priority of the ugly country, and business is entirely aimed at serving the public, relying on truth, faith and justice."

During Coolidge's tenure, the ugly country achieved the so-called "Coolidge Boom", but behind this prosperity, Mark Twain once commented:

"Our civilization is a shabby and tattered thing, full of cruelty, vanity, arrogance and hypocrisy."

In the observation of William, a young man in a small town, the deep-seated contradictions of the ugly country are also latent and fermenting.

Coolidge is praised for his indulgence of business magnates, while the vast majority of "hillbillies", having accepted the national myth that they can get ahead as long as they work hard and live frugally, must accept the fate of being constantly exploited by big business.

The prices of corn, wheat and pigs produced by farmers in the ugly country are falling, while the prices of agricultural machinery and fertilizers are rising under the protection of monopoly pricing.

A large part of the primitive accumulation of industrial enterprises in Chouguo also comes from its rich agricultural resources and hard-working farmers, which was the "sad song of the countrymen" in Chouguo 100 years ago.

William said that when he was 9 years old, he returned with his mother to live in Cedar Rapids, a small town in the heart of the Cornbelt, which is also representative of the thousands of new towns that were born as a result of the westward expansion of the Ugly Country.

Situated on the banks of the Thera River, directly west of Chicago, the first settler was a horse thief and tavern owner who opened a family tavern to host hundreds of settlers in order to wade across the Thera River and continue westward.

In 1841, seven new immigrants took a 14-foot drop and bought the land from horse thieves and built mill watermills that used water power to cut wood, wheat, oats, and corn.

The product is then transported down the Mississippi River by flat-bottomed boat, from where it is transported to the vast inland market.

Later, the Chicago and Northwest railroad lines were expanded to the Cedar River, and local officials were actively involved in the construction of the railroad.

On June 15, 1859, the first train from Chicago entered Cedar Rapids, and with the completion of the waterway rail freight network, the town's population had grown from seven to 3,500 seventy years after it was bought by immigrants.

Quaker, the world's most famous grain company, was born in one of the mills and set up its headquarters in the town.

At the same time, Chicago was a fortress against the Indians in 1804, and after only a hundred years, in the first few years of the 20th century, it had grown to a population of 1.75 million.

The second largest city in the country and the fifth largest in the world. It has the largest railway center in the country and is also the largest market for the grain, timber, livestock, and meat processing industries.

At the same time, corruption and crime are growing in the city, with women's halls and casinos rampant, gangs running rampant, and legislators taking bribes and using the money to buy votes.

Wall Street in the 1920s was ushering in an unprecedented bull market.

In the process of rapid development, Chouguo used credit expansion to build a huge commercial and financial edifice on the quicksand, and with the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of production efficiency, the profits of manufacturers increased rapidly, while the wages of workers have been kept low.

In the intervening years, the investment income index jumped from 100 to 410 points, and the productivity of workers in the automotive industry increased threefold, while the average wage increased by only 12 points over the same period.

Yet more than 60% of U.S. households still live below the poverty line, meaning they earn less than $2,000 a year.

Correspondingly, 2% of households have an annual income of more than $10,000, and their savings account for two-thirds of the country's total savings.

Over time, the goods produced exceeded people's spending power, and the main problems of the ugly country's economy became weak consumption and financial bubbles.

And in order to stimulate consumption, the payment method of installment payment has become increasingly common.

In order to get rich quick, people do not hesitate to pledge their existing stocks and borrow more to buy more shares.

So far, the amount of equity financing has reached $7 billion.

Financial capitalism began to replace industrial capitalism and quickly seized social wealth.

Even Fisher, the most famous economist at this time, made an optimistic prediction:

"Stock prices have reached high ground where they will never fall."

However, William accurately predicted the day when the bubble would burst:

"5 years at most, within 5 years, the bubble will burst!" William said this to Li Yaoyang.

Originally, I didn't pay much attention to it, but after hearing him say this, I suddenly had a sense of déjà vu that this guy wouldn't be reborn.

Of course, this is very unlikely, and it should come more from his own analysis.

I have to say that this person's analytical ability is very strong, if it weren't for the prediction of the results, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

It's like you tell a rich man that you're going to go bankrupt one day, and it's weird if you don't beat you out of the.

October 24 and 29, 1929, were known as "Black Thursday" and "Black Tuesday", respectively.

Suddenly, everything in the stock market collapsed, tens of millions of blue chips were sold off, and the stock market machine couldn't keep up with the fast-beating quotes.

People were frightened, they were afraid that something worse was going to happen, panic was spreading in the markets, and the bankers' bailouts were short-lived.

Soon, bankers who had promised to bail out the market joined the sell-off, and an estimated $40 billion was wiped out in the crash, shattered by the bull market in which millions of ugly Chinese people had placed their dreams of miraculous riches.

Fisher, an economist, lost all the stocks he bought, lost the savings of his wife, sister and other relatives, and finally Yale University, where he taught, had to buy his house and rent it back to him so that he would not be evicted by his creditors.

And the ordinary ugly people are stunned, they don't know what is really going on, there were so many people who took prosperity for granted, and after that, hard days awaited them.

In later times, globalization brought new opportunities, allowing cities like Pengcheng to grow from a small fishing village to a megacity of 20 million people in just 40 years, far faster than Chicago had grown in the last century.

A large number of enterprises in Pengcheng have also become the world's top companies, far faster than Quaker cereal to obtain the global market, and the wealth of the Chinese people has been created at an unprecedented speed.

Looking back at the ugly country, Apple's highest market value was once close to $3 trillion, and Musk, the world's richest man, has a net worth of more than $200 billion.

The United Nations standard for poverty is less than $700 a year, and nearly 200 million people are severely food insecure.

Two whole generations of all the great nations have spent most of their lives in a better state than ever before for humanity, but prosperity has never been shared equally with the whole of humanity.

However, the excessive issuance of money by the world's central banks has finally made inflation as uncontrollable as a wild horse, and people around the world can feel that prices, including the prices of food, fuel and other necessities, are rising rapidly.

The Fed was forced to raise interest rates more to show the market its determination to curb inflation.

However, such an interest rate hike will bring about a new round of shrinking wealth of the middle class and the poor, as well as credit bankruptcy in highly indebted countries.

However, ordinary people have no right to decide, and everyone can only fasten their seatbelts and wait for this inflationary high-speed train to slow down while suffering the consequences of the economic ebb and flow.

To get back to the point, Li Yaoyang was impressed by William, he thought that this young man had a very strange perspective and could see things that ordinary people couldn't see.

Of course, to be able to say it in front of Li Yaoyang also requires greater courage, and it is not neat for another person to speak in front of Li Yaoyang!
