Chapter 1106 Silver Silver-Plated

After Michelle's introduction, Han Li learned that the brown-haired beauty was called Peyton Donnelly.

It is said that she is currently a model in a modeling company. Although she makes a lot of money, she is at the bottom of the company.

When the three of them were drinking and chatting, Peyton Donnelly would occasionally swear when talking about the company.

She must have a share in small activities and rural activities, but she can't participate much when it comes to those big brands, famous designers, and when they can be on TV and newspapers, etc.

In Peyton Donnelly's complaints, Han Li also understood her situation, but her purpose of coming to Ascot Jockey Club is not exactly the same as Michelle's.

This Peyton Donnelly can be said to be a person obsessed with horse racing. As long as she has time, she will be there to bet on every game in England. In her words, she enjoys the excitement on the racecourse.

At the same time, Han Li learned from their chat that the jewelry brought back by his crow yesterday was actually brought back from the Queen's banquet.

Although the Queen did not say anything, the royal family members, nobles, and wealthy businessmen present yesterday were all looking for this set of jewelry.

Although the bids of these people were different, each of them could be regarded as a big deal. When Michelle and Peyton talked about this topic, their eyes were shining.

They imagined that if they could find the jewelry that was taken away by the crow, the reward was only one aspect, and the favors of the royal family members, nobles, and wealthy businessmen were too important.

The other party could give them rich resources with just a casual word. If they could take the opportunity to become famous, their future career and life would be completely changed.

This Peyton Donnelly was more informed than Michelle. During the chat, she also mentioned the 33rd British Academy Film Awards that would be held in a few days.

Every year when this award is presented, many directors and stars from all over the world will come. She suggested that Michelle could try her luck there, after all, there are more professionals there.

(The value of the British Academy Film Awards at that time was very high, only slightly lower than that of Hollywood.)

While the two of them were talking about the fashion industry, Han Li was thinking about the Queen's jewelry set. He was considering whether he had the opportunity to gain any benefits from it.

Han Li really didn't care too much about the money. He cared about other benefits.

Women talk more about things when they are drunk than men, and they dare to say anything.

Han Li, who had been thinking about jewelry, didn't notice that as the two of them changed their topic, Peyton Donnelly's slightly drunk eyes were always exploring something on him.

The time of drinking and chatting passed quickly, and it was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

Peyton Donnelly and Michelle didn't know what was going on, and they all left the bar together.

On the way back to the hotel, Han Li saw that the two of them had no intention of separating, and thought that his wish to teach Michelle a lesson tonight might be in vain.

But what Han Li didn't expect was that when everyone separated and he was taking a shower in his room, Peyton Donnelly knocked on his door in a cool pajamas.

Not to mention in England, where the atmosphere is so popular, even in China, where people are drunk, late at night, and women chase men, many things are very easy to happen.

Han Li's physical fitness has never liked any prelude. When he just drove the car onto the highway, the door was knocked again.

Han Li knew it was Michelle when he heard the sound. He drove with one hand and opened the door with the other hand despite Peyton Donnelly's objection.

The next day, although the drizzle outside had stopped, neither Peyton Donnelly nor Michelle went to the Jockey Club.

You know, there are only five days of the Jockey Club, and every day is very important to them. If they didn't close the door and clear the venue, they would never come back.

It's not that they don't want to go today, but after the cross-country training in the evening and the crazy morning exercises in the morning, their bodies can't support themselves to go to the Jockey Club.

Michelle is the culprit in this matter, and Peyton Donnelly is just the fish that was caught in the fire.

And Han Li also turned around and left without any nostalgia after getting up, leaving the two of them staring at each other in the room.

However, Han Li still gave them a reason why he had to leave, which was of course made up.

In addition, Han Li helped them to renew the room fee until the end of the Jockey Club, and it was the kind that came with three meals.

Han Li wanted to leave this town? This was absolutely impossible.

Because Han Li had made a lot of money by betting on the Queen's "Donfulan", and if nothing unexpected happened after the last two days of racing, it would bring him more than 100,000 British pounds.

Moreover, Han Li's two little owls and four crows were not collected outside.

Therefore, after Han Li mercilessly left the hotel, he turned around and went to another more upscale hotel far away.

Han Li still stayed on the top floor of this hotel, and the first thing he did after sending the waiter away and closing the door was to call a peregrine falcon from the vast peach garden and let it go to find the owl and the crow.

At this time, when Payton Donnelly, who had recovered from his shock, got up from the bed and was about to take a shower, he suddenly thought of something and asked Michelle Feifer directly.

"Oops, I forgot to ask for Han's address and contact information. Michelle, please write it down for me later."

As the main target, Michelle didn't even want to move a finger now, but she sat up and said after hearing this question.

"I don't have it here?"

Donnelly: "Ah, haven't you been in contact with Han for two days? How come you didn't write down his contact address?"

Michelle: "It's really not my fault. Every time I leave, it's almost the same as now. In addition, I've been thinking about the Jockey Club, so I forgot about it."

Donnelly: "What should I do?"

Michelle: "What else can I do? Didn't he write down our contact address and method? Now we can only wait for Han to contact us actively."

"Active? It's hard to say. Do you think Han is someone who needs a female companion?"

Michelle.

Han Li still didn't go out today. He was drinking tea and sorting out materials in the new hotel.

In the morning, the peregrine falcon that Han Li released came back with a crow and a little owl.

However, when the two little owls came back, they held a table knife and a spoon in their claws respectively.

Han Li was quite disgusted when he saw these two things at first, because they were yellow, black and dirty.

Thinking that these were all the little guys' intentions, Han Li gave them rewards one by one, and then he reached out and took a look.

However, when Han Li wiped them clean and saw the patterns and symbols on them, as well as the silver coating on the outside, he felt that these two things should have some origins, at least some history.

Because Han Li's study of [Humanities and Social Sciences] requires reading and recording various materials from different periods, he found relevant information when he came to England and spent time in Niu Jing and the library.

The knife, fork and spoon that everyone has in foreign TV dramas is purely fictional, because before the 18th century, "silver" was a precious metal and currency, and only church members and nobles had the strength and qualifications to use it.

At that time, ordinary people in the Western Continent used wooden products, and it was considered quite good to have an iron table knife at home.

Later, because of the long-term war, some small nobles melted all the silver tableware and items in their homes into coins in order to maintain military expenses.

At the same time, the precious metal and currency "silver" became increasingly scarce. In order to support the scene, the nobles in the Western Continent gave birth to the silver plating process in this situation.

However, at this time, whether it was silver tableware, items, or silver-plated tableware, items were still only qualified to be used by church members and nobles. It can be said that silver and silver-plated items were their exclusive items.

If others hid or used them without authorization, they would be burned to death if discovered by the church, and would be hanged if discovered by the nobles, and their property would be taken by the church or the nobles.

This situation lasted until after the 18th century. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, silver plating became simple, and earth-shaking changes occurred in society, bringing a lot of new wealth and forming a new merchant class.

These people yearned for the pomp and lifestyle of the church nobles, but at that time, they still couldn't afford pure silver tableware and items.

At this time, the Industrial Revolution made silver plating no longer so mysterious and difficult to operate, so silver-plated tableware and items gradually entered the lives of ordinary people.

When Han Li communicated with the two little owls, he learned that the two tableware were found in an abandoned castle by them, and they could not tell what else was inside.

Han Li looked at the two silver-plated tableware and thought a lot in his heart. Next, he left only one of the little owl, crow, Gyrfalcon, and Peregrine Falcon as a contact bird, and sent all the others out, and asked them to find similar places and items in the mountains.

Han Li planned to wait until the horse race was over and he got the money, and then go to the abandoned castle to see if there were other things buried inside.

Moreover, with the old-fashioned English people and the so-called aristocratic honor, if Han Li could find some old and historical items, he would definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money.

If the items of the great noble family were found, then these things would be of great use. They would bring more than just money. If they were lucky, they could also exchange some technology or several sets of scarce mechanical equipment for the country.

As for whether the bird can find new items after being released this time, Han Li has no hope, but if he doesn't release it, there is no chance at all.

Han Li did this because
