More and more people in foreign countries knew about Alibaba.com, but they were still unfamiliar with Taobao. After all, due to the expensive international shipping fees, most foreign merchants or customers went to Alibaba.com for wholesale instead of buying on Taobao. Although the invention of the container saved the cost of shipping and promoted international trade, shipping was still a difficult problem. No matter how much money was saved, it was impossible for a lollipop from China to be sent to England.
After leaving the cheongsam shop, the group of people wandered out of Tianchao City. It was already 3.30 pm, and it was estimated that it would be close to 4 pm when they reached the Big Dog Square. It was almost September at that time, and the sunset in September in England was around 7.30 pm, so there was still enough time to play. The five of them walked slowly on the street. The small shops on the roadside seemed to have set up a banquet to retain passersby. The reluctance of the people was very similar to the ruthlessness and indulgence of prostitutes. Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, why linger so hard?
I have to persuade you to drink another cup of wine. There is no old friend in the west.
And this was vodka.
Vodka was the alcohol with the highest alcohol content sold in British supermarkets, excluding the 90-alcohol that was rarely sold. The vodka sold in the general supermarket was basically 40 to 50 percent alcohol, which was definitely incomparable to the alcohol in China. The Lao Bai Gan that China drank daily reached 72 percent alcohol and the Moutai reached 65 percent alcohol.(Of course, it did not exclude the alcohol produced by some small local wineries.) The country was really powerful. Even the alcohol content was higher than that of foreign countries. However, drinking hard liquor was not good for the body. It was better to drink wine than to drink too much.
Luo Li's favorite drink was dry red wine or fruit wine. She remembered that the owner of a bar in her hometown had introduced her to a cocktail called the B52 Bomber. At that time, Luo Li had requested for a glass of wine that fused beauty and romance. The owner had served the so-called B52. This cocktail was infused with three different types of wine in order: coffee liqueur, liqueur, and Jinwanli. Due to the different density, the layers were distinct. Under the support of different colors, the so-called "beauty" was complete. The bartender added Rum 151 to the top, warmed the glass, and lit it up. Under the glow of the fire, it was a complete romantic scene.”Under the bartender's introduction, Luo Li waited for the fire to extinguish before she finished inhaling in one breath. The cold and hot alcohol mixed in her mouth like heaven and earth, as if ice and fire were two heavens.
In September, maple leaves should be everywhere in China, and the autumn wind could sweep the fallen leaves everywhere. However, Luo Li did not see a single maple leaf along the way. Perhaps the people here did not have the mood to appreciate autumn. Most of their brain cells were focused on developing the financial industry, not the golden maple leaves.
Big Dog Square was crowded with people. At the south end was Nelson's 53-meter-high memorial column. Nelson was a general in the Napoleonic Wars. At the top of the column was a bronze statue of the general, and at the bottom of the column were four giant bronze lions. In the middle of the square was a stone pillar to commemorate the general, and below it was a statue of a lion. There was a fountain in the square, and many people sat around the fountain. The water in the fountain did not contain any garbage and was exceptionally clean. There were many pigeons looking for food among the crowd. This was a place different from China. It was common to see flocks of pigeons walking proudly in the crowd on the streets of England. No one would hunt them. If they were to let the Chinese go, they would have to eat pigeon soup for lunch. At the north end of the square was the National Art Museum, and in the northeast corner was the Saint Martin Church. During the Spring Festival, many Chinese people would go to the Big Dog Square to hold celebrations. There would be all kinds of performances, which would attract warm applause from foreign countries.
As this square was built to commemorate the war, Luo Li felt that the war in England had nothing to do with her, so she was not interested in admiring it. The few of them took photos and left for the London Eye.
Luo Li pondered as she walked. When she came back from her travels, she suddenly felt something soft in her hand. She gently pinched it.”
Luo Li flung her arms away and said in Chinese,"When did you hold my hand?"
After saying that, she realized that something was wrong and changed her words to English translation.
Lisa lowered her head and walked forward with her lips pursed.
"Let's do it," Luo Li said casually as she walked forward and hooked her index finger around Lisa's."I can't be bothered with you if I'm too happy, so I'll take it slow and lend you a finger first.”
Li Sha smiled as she looked up at Luo Li, then lowered her head and pursed her lips.
Luo Liduo hoped that she would be alive and kicking, even if it meant she would be a little wild on the grass. That way, at least Luo Li would not feel conflicted.
From afar, they could see the huge Ferris wheel, which was the so-called London Eye. Wang Zhengguo said,"Why don't you go up and try? Everyone, hey, what's going on with the two of you? You even hooked your hands together. Gao Yi, look, haha.”
Luo Li didn't intend to explain further and only consoled,""Don't take the Ferris wheel. Couples who have taken the Ferris wheel together will break up.”
"There's such a saying?" Wang Zhengguo said.
"Not only did they take the Ferris wheel, but they also broke up after listening to Hiroshima Romance together.”
Wang Zhengguo was explaining to Penney why they couldn't take the Ferris wheel.
However, looking at the huge queue, there was no need to explain.
This Ferris wheel was indeed huge. A warehouse was as big as a car. It had been the world's largest Ferris wheel before 2005, but then it was counterattacked by China. Now, China occupied six of the world's ten tallest Ferris wheels. As a Chinese, how could he not be proud? He was proud everywhere.
The Ferris wheel was located on the banks of the River Thames, and there were sightseeing boats on the river. The setting sun had already fallen listlessly to the horizon, and the orange light that shot out was imprinted on every mortal heart. After seeing through the mortal heart, they waited for the stars to appear. They walked along the river and took a few photos. They walked to the bridge, facing Big Ben. The time was 7:10. Every time they encountered something related to time, Luo Li would think of the poem in her high school textbook," This is Beijing at 4:08."”
Far away in a foreign country, although there was no contradictory mentality of the index finger going to the mountains and the countryside, far away on the other side of the ocean, it was like an infinitely long kite string pulling the button of China. The string was always in the hands of the mother of the motherland. No matter how far it flew, no matter which carriage the coffin was in, it would stick its head out and say,"I miss you, Mother."
Luo Li pointed at Big Ben and shouted,""Look, this is London at 7:10.”
"What's wrong with you?" Gao Yi cursed.
Luo Li didn't say anything. The last ray of light brushed past her fingertips and fell into the gentle waves of the River Thames.
It was dark.
After crossing the bridge and turning right, they could see the lights on the other side of the river. The London Eye turned into a huge blue halo, and the surrounding buildings were also lit up with the same color of light, as if they had entered a dreamlike fairytale world.
Lisa was busy taking photos and wanted to take a photo with Luo Li. Luo Li refused without hesitation. She couldn't remember when Luo Li stopped taking photos with anyone. She guessed that this was a kind of inferiority complex or a strong sense of self-protection. Luo Li asked everyone to stand by the river and take a photo with the blue sea of lights behind them. In the 321 cheers, Luo Li pressed the shutter and the flash froze a beautiful scene.
Everyone's smiling faces in the photos were like paintings, but did the masks hide a heart-wrenching, bloodied, and weathered face? This was a beautiful time, and there was no need to be sad. Luo Li smiled and held her phone tightly as she looked up. She actually couldn't tell which was the Milky Way between the other side of the Qinghe River and the sky.
