Chapter 1191 Ceremony
After Han Li hung up the phone this time, his expression became much more relaxed.
After breakfast and checking out, Han Li drove the RV out of the town and continued to drive north along the A82 road on the shore of Loch Ness.
Han Li stopped and walked along the way, took pictures, stewed meat, released birds, and walked animals. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at Inverness, the last stop of the A82 road.
From now on, Han Li will leave the A82 road connecting Glasgow and Inverness and drive on the A9 road.
Inverness is the northernmost city in Scotland. Historically, it has been considered the capital of the Scottish Highlands and the last important town in northern England.
Also because it is the capital of the Scottish Highlands, the population of this northern town currently exceeds 50,000.
Inverness' winter is the coldest among all cities in England, but because of its special geography and the obvious influence of the Atlantic warm current, it has the longest summer in the whole of England.
This place is often affected by irregular strong winds. Even when the temperature is the coldest, it will not be lower than minus 20 degrees, but the temperature felt by people is a little lower.
Due to special geographical reasons, there is no overly polluting industry here, and the per capita land area is far lower than that of Western Europe.
In the future, Inverness also won the honorary title of one of the cleanest and most beautiful places to live in Western Europe.
Han Li found a hotel, checked in, and went out to visit the city without resting.
The most famous and distinctive landmark building in Inverness is Inverness Castle.
The castle is located on a cliff in the center of the city, overlooking the River Ness, and it looks quite well maintained.
Unfortunately, this landmark building is not open to the public, and Han Li can only take a look at it from the outside through the barbed wire.
Like Edinburgh, Inverness also has the old town and the new town.
Only the church in the old town is pretty good. The other buildings are really nothing to see for Han Li, who has almost traveled half of England.
Han Li strolled to the Victoria Market at the junction of the old city and the new city. Seeing the crowds of people inside, he walked in.
This is a large farmer's market, but two things sold inside caught Han Li's attention.
One is the Angus beef, a specialty of the Highlands, and the other is the mutton of the Valais Blacknose sheep.
Angus cattle have good meat quality and grow fast. In 1974, my country introduced a batch of breeding cattle from England, but it is still in the breeding stage, and there is no finished beef on the market.
Han Li saw this kind of beef now, of course, he had to buy some to try. He bought half a cow here, and some cow skeletons.
The Valais Blacknose sheep is the protagonist of the cartoon called "Shaun the Sheep". This is a kind of mutton with a relatively high wool yield, each sheep can produce four kilograms of wool per year, and the meat quality is also good.
However, the wool of the Valais Blacknose sheep is relatively rough, and it cannot be used on delicate items such as clothing. It can only be used to make carpets, shawls, bags, mattresses and other things.
Han Li bought a sheep, some potatoes and onions, and then left the farmer's market.
Han Li found an empty alley and put all the things into the decomposition space.
According to the original idea and the current time, Han Li should go to a restaurant to eat.
However, when Han Li passed by a church, he saw that there were many people and it was very lively, so he went over to take a look.
When he went over, he found out that this was a young couple's engagement ceremony.
Han Li also asked the people watching the excitement nearby, and it turned out that there was a custom in Inverness.
That is, when young people hold engagement and wedding ceremonies, they usually hold the ceremony in the church first, and then
I'm in a hurry and rushing for numbers, so please refresh it later, please forgive me! ! ! !
When he went over, he found out that this was a young couple's engagement ceremony.
Han Li also asked the people watching the excitement nearby, and it turned out that there was a custom in Inverness.
That is, when young people hold engagement and wedding ceremonies, they usually hold the ceremony in the church first, invite the Lord to witness here, and the ceremony ends after receiving the blessings of the pastor, the families of both parties, and relatives and friends.
However, the matter is not over here, because in the eyes of the Scottish people who like to be lively, the next is the highlight, and it is also the time for everyone to have fun.
At this time, it doesn’t matter where the next activities are held. Families with more affluent conditions can go to nightclubs.
Families with less affluent conditions can choose to hold it here in the church. The pastor will leave here with a smile at the beginning, leaving the venue completely to young people who want to have fun.
At this time, anyone who wants to participate can do it, regardless of whether they know the bride and groom.
But you need to send a blessing and then send a small gift, such as a plush toy, a watch, a greeting card, or something the newlyweds like.
But it is best not to send money if the relationship is average, even one pound.
Because in Scotland, only relatives or friends with a very good relationship will send money.
If a casual friend or a stranger gives money rashly, the newlyweds may think that they have forgotten that important, close friend. It would be okay if they fall into deep thought, but it would be terrible if it causes unnecessary misunderstandings.
The couple in front of Han Li was married in the church. Han Li had never participated in such a ceremony, let alone seen it, so he decided to stay and join in the fun.
Han Li followed the crowd, took out a small gift from the decomposition space and gave it to the person at the door of the church, took a simple invitation from the other party, and took the invitation to the inside of the church.
At this time, the benches in the prayer room of the church had been moved away by the people who came to help. One side was placed with speakers, and the other side was placed with a long row of tables, on which food, drinks and flowers were placed.
The two protagonists of today stood on the platform where the pastor led the prayer, and there were several people chatting around them.
There were many musical instruments behind the protagonists, and several people were testing the sound and tuning the strings.
Han Li knew from their appearance that these young people did not intend to use the music playback equipment in the church. They were going to play and sing by themselves.
Han Li picked up a wine glass from the table next to him, and after congratulating and blessing the two newlyweds, he originally planned to watch those who played musical instruments test the sound and tune the strings.
But Han Li's Chinese face was very eye-catching among the Westerners in the room, and it also made them very curious.
The two newcomers were the same. They pulled Han Li away and the group of people started chatting.
At this moment, Han Li never thought that he just came here to broaden his horizons, but in the end he actually...
