Chapter 414 Tour
Seeing Selina's listless appearance, Chu Chen smiled and said:

"Actually, good B-grade jadeite still has economic value and collection value. Let's say that your piece of glass jadeite has good texture and water head, and there are not many black spots and impurities, and the craftsmanship is not sloppy. Two years ago One thousand pounds is indeed expensive, but according to the current market conditions, it must be more than one thousand pounds."

When Selina heard what Chu Chen said, she suddenly felt a sense of light in the dark, and asked in surprise, "Really? Then how much is it worth now?"

Chu Chen thought for a while and said: "Product B is not pure natural after all. Based on the appearance of your pendant, the current value should be around [-] pounds. According to the current market conditions, there will definitely be more in the future." The deep space, but after all, it is a B product, and it is impossible to have the ascent speed and space of A product."

Selina was very pleasantly surprised when she heard that she could get two thousand. Although the price of the glass was quite different from that of A-grade glass, she was already very satisfied to be able to make a profit without losing money.So she put the pendant back happily, but this time, to avoid embarrassment, Chu Chen turned her head early.

Selina giggled, and said in Wu Ke's ear: "Ellie, I really envy you for having such a good boyfriend. If it wasn't for you, I would definitely chase after you! But a good man is a rare resource, you Hold on tight!"

Wu Ke smiled slightly and said: "Of course, but I still trust him. According to his conditions, if you want to find a girlfriend, it's much better than mine. It's my turn!"

"Is his family very powerful?" Selina asked curiously.

Wu Ke smiled slightly, and didn't say much about it, but Selina still understood the meaning, and she said enviously: "Ellie, your luck is really good, no, when you graduate and return to China, You must ask Brother Chu to introduce me to a boyfriend!"

Chu Chen has good hearing, and he smiled when he heard the words: "Yes, but whether you can succeed in the end depends on your own will."

"Hey, thank you Brother Chu!" Selina said with a sweet smile.

"Why are you guys communicating in Chinese again? Can you consider how the two of us feel?" Mina couldn't understand what the three of them were talking about, and complained again.

Josie said jokingly, "Mina, don't take me with you. I can understand Chinese too. I think you should learn Chinese again."

"Oh, it's really too bad!" Mina slapped her forehead, then shook her head again and again, "I can't learn the language of your country. The pronunciation of the words is difficult to learn. It obviously means the same thing, but it takes a lot of time to learn it. There are different words to express, I really don't understand!"

Hearing what Mina said, the three girls all laughed. Seeing that Chu Chen didn't understand, Wu Ke smiled and explained to him.

It turned out that Mina had also studied Chinese for a while before, but because of the indiscriminate use of words, she made many ugly appearances, and then she backed out.

For example, in Chinese, "female" or "male" is used to describe the sex of animals, but foreigners are different. In English, both male (male) and female (female) can be used to describe people or animals.

During a party of four, Mina brought her new pet dog over, and introduced in Chinese, "This is my new male dog..." before she could say anything. After that, the three girls burst into laughter.

Although there are not many examples like this, there are also many. After repeated, Mina has a shadow on learning Chinese, and now she is even anxious when it comes to learning Chinese.

Although Mina couldn't understand what Wu Ke was talking about, she also guessed that Wu Ke should be talking about her embarrassing things, so she was not to be outdone and told Wu Ke's embarrassing things over the years. The other two also did not fall behind, and there was a lot of laughter and laughter.

Fortunately, they still know how to restrain themselves, and they are all beauties, otherwise they would have been complained by other customers. ...

The next day, after the two deposited the cup and official kiln brush wash in the bank, they went to the family where Wu Ke lived, that is, Mina's house, as agreed.

Mina's father was very happy to see Chu Chen coming, and he said it was fate, and Chu Chen agreed to this, otherwise why would there be so many taxis at the airport and he would just be chosen?

There are only three family members in Mina's family, grandma, father Randy, and her. As for Mina's mother, she died of illness a few years ago, and her grandfather passed away when her father was young.

After lunch at noon, Chu Chen finally figured out two things.

The first thing is that he finally understands the characteristics of British cuisine. To put it bluntly, it is less oily and light, and to pay attention to nature.As a member of the big foodie country, if he eats for several days in a row, his stomach will definitely be upset.

It is no wonder that some people say that British food has the saddest fate, because the British will kill them twice, the first time is to take their life, and the second time is to take away their taste.

Second, he finally knew why Mina's father was so talkative.

Originally, Randy was more talkative, but his mother was not good at words, and there was a generation gap between him and Mina in thinking, which made him have no one to talk to at home. It's no wonder that when Chu Chen met him, he seemed like Haven't spoken for months.

In fact, Randy's family can be regarded as a middle class in England. In addition to the current residence, he also inherited several properties from his ancestors. Even if the rent is collected, it is enough for him to live a carefree life for the rest of his life, but he has no business. Talent, so he chose a taxi driver, a career that is easy to find a conversation partner.

In fact, the reason why Randy is so happy with Chu Chen's arrival is mainly because he and Chu Chen are very happy and can talk about any topic. If Chu Chen is not Wu Ke's boyfriend, Randy is ready to let Chu Chen do it. his son-in-law. ...

Under Randy's hospitality and strong request, Chu Chen stayed here for one night, and went to London with Wu Ke in Randy's car the next day.

London, the capital of England, is a melting pot of races, religions and cultures.A large city that has had a huge influence in the world for hundreds of years.Antiques and art treasures from various countries, countless exhibitions and performances here allow you to travel around the world without leaving London.

After arriving in London, the first place Chu Chen and Wu Ke went to was the Tower of London.

Known as "Her Majesty's Palace and Castle", this most popular historical attraction receives 250 million visitors a year and has served as a fortress, armory, treasury, mint, palace, observatory, sanctuary and prison , but also a place where upper-class prisoners were held especially.

In history, many princes, nobles and political celebrities were imprisoned here, and many were executed here.

In addition, the most unique view of the Tower of London is the ravens here.

According to British folklore, as long as a raven appears on the Tower of London, it can ensure the continuation of the monarchy, but if the raven flies away, not only the Tower of London will fall, but the dynasty will also end.Legend has it that after King Charles II learned of this prophecy, the ravens in the Tower of London were cut off part of their wings and could not fly.

Of course, this legend must be nonsense. Charles II was the monarch who ruled England in the 17th century. Ravens only appeared in the Tower of London in the 19th century. Now we can only pity these ravens whose feathers have been cut.

However, although these ravens have lost the ability to fly, they live a luxurious life. During the day, ravens can move freely around the Tower of London. Every morning, the administrator will buy fresh meat from the market, including chicken hearts, to feed the ravens. .At night, the ravens can go to the "hotel" specially designed for them to rest.

There are seven ravens in the Tower of London, each of which is given a lovely name. It is a very popular auspicious animal for tourists.

It is rare to come here for a trip, and taking photos with these ravens is definitely indispensable. After that, the two entered this historic castle.

If only Wu Ke was alone, she would not dare to visit the Tower of London, because there have been quite a few haunted reports for hundreds of years, like two figures of children in pajamas holding hands, walking around the Tower with their heads between them Queen Anne Boleyn and so on, make this place full of eerie atmosphere.

In addition, in the underground dungeon, there are all kinds of cruel instruments of torture that are stained with rust and seem to be filled with a strong smell of blood, which also makes the timid people feel horrified.

Wu Ke was afraid of ghosts, and when he came to this gloomy place, he was even more nervous. He held Chu Chen's arm tightly the whole time, looking around the castle with fear and curiosity. This appearance made Chu Chen feel pity for her, but also found it quite funny.

The most important and oldest of the Tower of London complex is undoubtedly the Normandy-style tower located in the center of the fortress, known as the White Tower in history, where the owner lives and the garrison is stationed. It is the strongest and symbolizes William the Conqueror to some extent. Increasingly consolidated and expanded power.

Part of the second and third floors of the White Tower are chapels, and part of the top and second floors are weapons exhibitions. There are not only medieval armors, but also modern guns.

What Chu Chen cares about most is these medieval armors. Apart from the exquisite craftsmanship of these armors, the most important thing is that they contain a lot of spiritual energy. The upgrade rate of the ability.

In addition, what makes Chu Chen feel a little funny is that there are actually leaflets printed in Chinese that were used to recruit Chinese soldiers during the Korean War.Perhaps this is just a satire on the "brilliant record" that the British army sent two brigades but lost [-] troops.
