Chapter 922 Alumni
I was careless. I didn't expect that Juliet's exclamation just now attracted the attention of other guests. Two young people actually took a few quick photos with their mobile phones, then turned around and ran away.
What are you doing? Let's go quickly.
Li Mo put the Queen Victoria bracelet back into the jewelry box and stuffed it into his bag before leaving. As for the coffee fruit plate that had just been served, it was wasted.
After he left, the cafe immediately became noisy. Visitors to this antique market have basically heard of it. Many people have found antiques from the Queen Victoria period here in the past. Unexpectedly, someone today actually found something worn by the Queen herself.
old bracelet.
"Mr. Li, do I want to discuss something with you?"
Juliet followed Li Mo closely. She especially wanted to get the Queen Victoria bracelet, which would be in line with her status as an underground queen. She regretted it so much. Li Mo had obviously given it to her, but she was too petty to refuse it.
, and in the end, he really found a valuable treasure from the jewelry box.
If this news spreads, the royal family and nobles of the Eagle Kingdom will definitely be alarmed. This has something to do with the background of Queen Victoria's era.
Queen Victoria reigned for 64 years in the history of the Eagle Kingdom. She was also the first Queen of the Eagle Kingdom to be called the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and the Queen of India.
During her reign, it was the period when the Eagle Kingdom was the most powerful "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets". At that time, the Eagle Kingdom increased its colonial expansion and established and occupied many colonies within a certain range. The decades of her reign were
The period of transition from the ascendant free capitalism of Eagle Country to the top and then to monopoly capitalism.
At that time, the economy and culture were unprecedentedly prosperous, and the constitutional monarchy was fully developed, making Queen Victoria a symbol of peace and prosperity in the Eagle Country.
Queen Victoria represented the Eagle Country in its strongest period. Later, World War I and World War II broke out one after another, and Europe was in turmoil, which caused many royal treasures to flow into the private sector.
Now that the bracelet she wore has been released, once the news spreads, how could the royal family of the Eagle Kingdom not pay attention to it?
Li Mo knew what you had in mind, so he shook his head and said, "There is no need to discuss it. I can only blame you for your bad luck."
"You can pay whatever you want."
"What money do I need from you?"
Juliet was suddenly blocked. He was not short of money, so if he wanted to get the Queen Victoria bracelet from him, he could only exchange it in other ways.
What he likes most are all kinds of antiques from China. He needs to discuss this matter with his grandfather as soon as possible to avoid being attacked by the ruling organization first.
As night fell, Li Mo got out of the car and walked into the embassy. Juliet wanted to call him to stop him, but she couldn't come up with anything suitable to exchange for the time being, so she decided to go back to the hotel and talk to her grandfather on the phone first.
"Miss, is Mr. Li the reincarnation of God?"
The madman couldn't help but ask.
"It should be said that he is the reincarnation of a Chinese god. It is estimated that more people will be watching him secretly tomorrow. Madman, if you don't want to live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, I will help you tell your grandfather and you will leave the knight organization.
After you marry your fiancée, you can live a peaceful life. The bonus Mr. Li will give you is enough for you to live a comfortable life."
The madman started the car and drove, and said calmly: "I will never leave you, Miss, in my life, and I will protect you for the rest of my life. Besides, there is no real peace in today's society, unless you live in China. According to the news we got,
From an analysis point of view, where is the truly beautiful country?"
"Maybe one day when we are all tired, we can go to China and join Li Mo."
"I follow the lady's orders."
"If you send some people over overnight, you don't know what treasures Li Mo will find tomorrow."
"Yes, miss."
When Li Mo walked into the embassy, there were still some staff who had not gotten off work. They all lived in the dormitory building behind the embassy.
"Professor Li, you are really famous everywhere you go. Now the social network in Eagle Country is spreading the photo of you finding Queen Victoria's bracelet, and countless netizens are asking you to hand over that bracelet."
A woman in her twenties ran over and said.
"Did it spread so quickly?"
"No, even the official media has reproduced it. I guess the embassy's phone number will be bombarded tomorrow."
Li Mo thought about it and said, "Then I can't live here, lest I be blocked here tomorrow."
The woman smiled and said: "There is a 100% chance that you will be stuck here. How about you sleep in the embassy dormitory overnight and go out early tomorrow so that you don't have to worry about it. As for the Queen Victoria bracelet you found, you must not do it.
Leave it to them and they will push for more and more from you."
"I can't tell. You look gentle and weak, but you are actually quite tough."
"Then we must be strong. We represent the face of the motherland. If we are not strong, we will be looked down upon by them. But Professor Li, I think you'd better return to China as soon as possible. It's too unsafe here."
"I understand, but there are still some treasures in Fa Kingdom that have not been transported back. I stayed here to attract more of their attention. So it may not be a bad thing for the news that I found a treasure to spread this afternoon.
, the more violent they make, the better.”
The woman smiled and pointed behind her: "We are ready to have dinner. Thanks to you, we have had extra meals every day recently. Even the red wine is a famous wine sent by the official. Let's have some together in the evening."
"Okay, I haven't eaten authentic Chinese food for a long time. I'll have a good time tonight."
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Li Mo got up, freshened up and walked out of the embassy. He only visited the antique market yesterday, but he couldn't go there again today. He planned to go to Alfie Antique Market.
That market is London's largest indoor antique trading market.
Many designers, collectors and celebrities will go there specifically to find some design inspiration, or buy a few unique pieces of clothing. The entire market has 4 floors, selling a variety of antique handles, oil paintings, accessories, and jewelry since the 20th century.
, furniture, bags and so on.
In addition, when tourists are tired from shopping, they can go to the open-air cafe on the top floor to rest, have lunch and afternoon tea, and admire the trophies they have picked up.
The only drawback is that the market has to wait ten days in the morning for it to open. If this were the case in China, it would probably end up being closed down. But it has become a habit here, so if you want to go shopping, you can only wait.
Li Mo wore very casual black clothes today and changed into a casual backpack. He first walked alone along the avenue without direction until it got dark and there were gradually more pedestrians on the road.
I didn’t expect to encounter a stall making Jinmen pancakes and confections on this street. Moreover, the owner of the pancakes and confections is a very young woman. She is accompanied by a middle-aged man. One is making the pancakes and the other is helping to pack them.
.
Business was pretty good, there were seven or eight people waiting.
Li Mo walked over and looked at the ingredients and her method of making pancakes. They were very authentic.
"Come on one."
Li Mo said in Chinese, and then he realized that people couldn't understand him. He was about to raise a finger to say something, but unexpectedly the foreign woman making pancakes smiled at her and said: "We have to wait a moment, the one in front is
Finish it first."
Oops, this Chinese language is very authentic, with a little bit of Beijing accent.
"Have you ever studied and lived in Kyoto, China?"
"I studied at Beijing University International Language School for four years and just graduated and returned to China last year."
In this way, this is still my international alumnus.
"How do you start making pancakes?"
"Because it's very profitable. I get up an hour early every day and do manual work for three hours every morning. The money I earn is more than double the salary I used to earn at work. The work is simple and I earn a lot, so why don't I do it.
When I was studying at Beijing University, I worked for a boss for free for a month in order to learn this trade."
Li Mo was stunned for a moment: "Is there anyone who makes pancakes on the Beijing University campus?"
"There's one at the door. I help out for an hour every day and I get one for free. It's really delicious."
While the woman was talking, she was busy working quickly. The fragrance of the cereals filled the air, attracting more passers-by. Some people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures, probably because they were curious about this delicacy from the East.
And those who had already picked it up and ate it all gave thumbs up, saying it was very delicious.
"Sir, it's your turn, do you want to add any ingredients?"
"Add four meat dishes, two eggs, slightly spicy, and a glass of pure milk."
"Okay, twelve euros in total."
How much, 12 euros each? Li Mo looked at the ingredients on the pancake stall. In China, it only cost 15 yuan at most, but she didn’t expect it to cost six or seven times here. No wonder she thought she could make money by setting up a breakfast spot on the street.
It’s more than working, it’s really making money.
"Sir, you look familiar. Are you also an alumnus of Huaxia Jingda University?"
The woman suddenly said as she made the pancakes and handed them to him, with a look of confusion on her face.
