Chapter 1163 The Extremely White Girl
The place Han Li came to was an authentic Scottish restaurant. In addition to the common foods such as fried fish, chips, and boiled potatoes in England, the main food provided here was local specialties.
Specifically: black pudding, haggis pudding, Sussex pond pudding, laver bread, and bubble squeak.
Since Han Li came to taste the unique Scottish food, of course he had to order all of these things.
The waiter brought the first black pudding. Han Li looked at the black pudding with a puzzled look on his face. It looked a bit like blood sausage sliced and fried. He used a fork to send a piece into his mouth.
As soon as his upper and lower teeth bit down, a fishy smell far beyond wild boar meat immediately filled his entire mouth.
Is it unpalatable? It's quite unpalatable.
But for someone like Han Li who has suffered, this unpalatable taste is nothing at all.
Han Li ate all the black puddings calmly. Although he could endure hardships and would not be too disgusted as long as he could eat it, he would never spend money to buy such things next time.
The second dish served by the waiter was Haggis pudding. From the appearance alone, it looked similar to the tripe in China.
Han Li cut it with a knife and found that it was the Scottish version of tripe. The outer layer was sheep stomach, and the ingredients inside were a hodgepodge of sheep heart, sheep lung, sheep liver and other sheep internal organs.
Han Li was eating the Scottish version of tripe silently while thinking in his heart.
It seems that the custom of "three miles different winds and five miles different customs" is also applicable in England.
When Han Li was in the south of Hadrian's Wall, no one ate these sheep offal. Not far from the Great Wall, sheep offal became a specialty food.
How does Haggis pudding taste?
Han Li could laugh at this. If England had good food, it would not have been rated as a "food desert" by people.
When the waiter brought the Sussex Pond Pudding, Han Li thought it was an ordinary dessert pudding from its appearance.
But when Han Li dug it with a spoon, he found that this thing was also a dark dish. The liquid that flowed out was black and yellow, and there was a whole lemon.
Han Li put it in his mouth and tasted it. It was a layer of dough on the outside, but the liquid inside was full of butter, brown sugar, and lemon.
The Raffles bread that the waiter brought was something Han Li had eaten during the training at the Beijing* Hotel. At that time, the teacher Zhou Zikai also taught them about this knowledge.
The main material of Raffles bread is made of a kind of seaweed. It looks like a very thick biscuit. The color is mainly black, and it looks very unappetizing.
This seaweed has been a life-saving food for the locals for a long time. At that time, many people picked up this seaweed and boiled it directly with water, and some even boiled it into jelly.
At that time, the locals would eat it with oats or other coarse grains. Its color is similar to black feces, which makes people have no appetite at all.
However, because eating this way can not only fill the stomach, but also the seaweed has its own taste of the sea, so they can taste salty without adding salt, which in turn saves the family some money.
It is not delicious and not beautiful, but they have to eat it. For this reason, the locals have given this way of eating a beautiful name called [Welsh caviar. 】
The last "delicacy" served by the waiter is Bubble Squeak, which is almost like a stew that is about to dry out.
Han Li used a fork to cut it open and saw all the ingredients. It was a big stew with carrots, peas, minced meat, and mashed potatoes.
However, this "Bubble Squeak" stew can be said to be the most delicious dish among these special foods that Han Li has eaten here.
At this time, even if Han Li was not full, he did not plan to continue eating here.
After paying the bill, Han Li went to the town to buy some bread, and of course the indispensable map, and returned to the RV without any nostalgia and left the town called St. Boswells.
After this experience of tasting delicious food, Han Li bought sheep twice and cattle once after he encountered a ranch, and basically kept on traveling.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Han Li's RV drove into Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Of course, the capital is now the capital in the hearts of the locals, and it is a nominal capital. The English royal family and parliament have not given the city corresponding rights.
However, it must be said that the situation in the city is really good. Not only is there no snow on the road, but the shops and houses are also full of Christmas decorations.
When Han Li drove on the street to appreciate the architecture and customs here, snowflakes fell from the sky again.
When the locals saw the snowflakes, most of them cheered, because these snowflakes would make Christmas more flavorful.
Han Li was in no mood to continue to appreciate it. He had not found a suitable hotel to stay in after entering Edinburgh.
However, when Han Li was resting and reading on the road, he basically had a preliminary plan for where to stay in Edinburgh.
Although Edinburgh and Renton belong to the north and south, their situations are similar.
There is also a serious division between rich and poor areas in the city. Living in the rich area is more comfortable, with all kinds of facilities, places and services.
Living in the slums is much worse, with poor sanitation and security.
No, it should be said that after the "Iron Lady" came to power and launched the extensive and in-depth adjustments to state-owned enterprises, the unemployment situation in Edinburg was more serious than that in Renton due to the large number of various enterprises. The situation in the slums here is also worse.
The Royal Mile starts at Edinburgh Castle and ends at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. In the middle are Castle Hill, Lawn Market, High Street and Friars Gate. This street can be said to be the central avenue of Edinburgh.
The buildings on both sides of the street have a certain history, and the hotels opened on this street are also quite high-end, so Han Li finally selected a hotel on this avenue.
The interior decoration of the hotel is luxurious and the service is first-class. The only drawback is that it is a bit expensive, but this is nothing to Han Li who can reimburse and have someone to foot the bill.
Han Li completed the check-in procedure at the front desk of the hotel. He hugged the folded cat and followed the waiter who helped carry the luggage to his room. After he settled in, it was already getting late.
After driving continuously on the snow, Han Li was too lazy to go out to eat. He took a shower in his room, changed his clothes, and filled his stomach with some beef stewed on the road from the decomposition space.
The next step was to drink tea, read a book, and lie down on the bed to sleep when he felt sleepy. Han Li's first day at Edinbao passed like this.
However, when Han Li went out to appreciate the architecture, customs and customs of Edinbao the next day, he saw a man with long burgundy hair in a shop. His complexion was super white, far superior to that of other white people. The whiteness was a bit unusual. It looks like the skin color of Snow White in the fairy tale.
The combination of two colors, burgundy and ultra-white, gives people a different kind of charm.
At first, Han Li thought that the girl had vitiligo, but when he got closer, he saw that it was not the case at all. The girl's skin color was just like this, so white and tender.
Han Li took a closer look and saw that although the girl's figure was invisible under the thick clothes.
But her facial features are quite good, with a high nose bridge and thin lips. Although her eye sockets are a bit deep, her eyes are very large, which makes up for that depth.
Appearance was nothing to Han Li, but skin color like this made him very rare.
While Han Li was searching for information on people with this skin color, he was also thinking about how to strike up a conversation with them.
At this time, this extremely fair girl spoke to the merchant, and her accent immediately reminded Han Li of what it was like for people with this skin color.
