travel starts with photography

You don't need to put meat into the soup, you just need to put the lamb thigh bones that Chen Xing made before into the soup and cook for an hour.

But with such a simple operation, after discovering Chen Xing's true cooking skills, she now has an impulse.

That is to fish out the bones to see if the blood has been removed.

However, this operation does hurt a person's self-esteem a bit.

Chen Jiaqian looked at Chen Xing who was eager to try, and scratched her head helplessly.

There is really no way.

Afterwards, Chen Xing decided to decide what to do. She was actually curious about the taste of the mutton soup that Chen Xing mentioned.

Chen Jiaqian is also a person who likes to travel, but that was when she was young. She was studying in Holland and working in Barcelona. Then the book she wrote became popular in China, and because of the economic downturn in Spain, she returned to China to work in Guangzhou.

She has been to many places, but she has never eaten the mutton soup that Chen Xing mentioned.

How is it different from Shang Hai's?
"Okay, it's almost done." Chen Jiaqian said, "Let's sit in the living room, do you want to watch a movie?"

"Ghost movie?"

It’s still early, and it’s less than four o’clock. The longer the soup base of this mutton soup is stewed, the better it tastes. After a long time, the soup will be milky and white, which means that the taste of the mutton bones is all integrated into it. Inside this pot of soup.

So do have time to watch movies.

If two people, challenge the ghost movie that I didn't dare to watch before?
Chen Jiaqian's hair exploded all over her body...

"do not……"

She was afraid of it too.

As expected of Chen Jiaqian's Scandinavian style, discs are still used at home. These backward things have long been used in China, but as a developed country, Europe can still find a large number of discs.

If you don't watch ghost movies, then go for it.

Chen Xing searched in a pile of bags, and saw an actor whom he had met before.

"Want to watch this? It's Christmas too." He pulled out the CD.

Chen Jiaqian was teasing the kitten outside the window with a cat stick. She came back after hearing Chen Xing's words. She was surprised to see the CD that Chen Xing found.

"True love comes first?"

"Yes, I have watched this movie several times."

Chen Jiaqian was even more surprised.

"Me too! Ah, what a coincidence, I watch this movie every Christmas!!"

His boyfriend only talked about it at the beginning of the year, but she came to Iceland alone in 17.

Christmas is the most important holiday in Europe, which is equivalent to the New Year in China. At that time, all the surrounding rooms are brightly lit, and there are laughter everywhere, and sometimes the sound of fireworks blooming can be heard. It is very lively, but she can only stay at home alone. people.

In those few years, she liked to turn off the lights every Christmas and watch a movie called Love Actually in a dark room.

She didn't spend Christmas alone this year, but Chen Xing found this movie out of her collection a few days before Christmas. What is it?
It's a surprise!

From the very first time she saw Chen Xing, she had an inexplicable affection for Chen Xing, a feeling of being a real brother, so during Chen Xing's stay in Iceland, she often found time to chat with him and want to take care of him. After all, she knew How harsh is the winter in Iceland.

Now Chen Xing actually found out the movie he had watched every year for the past few years.

My God, he really understands me!

Now she really wants to say, can you be my brother?

But Chen Xing probably wouldn't agree.

"Ugh."

Before Chen Xing could speak, Chen Jiaqian said a few words quickly, and finally sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. You said you watched it several times, so you should like this movie very much."

Chen Xing said while putting in the disc:

"I like it. I took a promotional photo of Liam Neeson when I was doing commercial shooting in Paris. He is a very attractive person. At that time, my assistant was a primary school girl in our school. She was very fascinated by this old man, haha , so impressed."

"You know him?"

"I know, but I'm not familiar with it. I have contact information."

Speaking of the name directly, Liam Neeson should not be known by many Chinese people, but the roles he played are very famous, such as the male protagonist in Schindler's List, the ninja master in Batman, anyway, he is a relatively famous character in China. Familiar European and American actors.

"I really envy you, you should know many celebrities, right?"

"Is it okay? I have contact information for French female stars, but I seldom chat. But I have a good relationship with Sophie Marceau. She even wrote the preface to my book. She is a lovely elder. There is no generation gap at all when communicating.”

"You actually know Sophie Marceau!"

Chen Jiaqian clenched her hand!
But I quickly noticed another important point Chen Xing said... "She wrote the preface to your book? You also wrote the book?"

Oops, missed the point.

Chen Xing looked at the unopened gift she kept bringing back, nodded and said, "Well, I also wrote a book called travel notes, about France, that gift is, now you can open it."

She looked at Chen Xing, and then at the gift box.

Chen Xing gave her a lot of surprises today.

"No, I'm going to save it for Christmas and then take it apart and read it." She thought about it, and finally decided to read it carefully during Christmas, because at that time she didn't go to work and had a lot of time to study Chen Xing's writing. Book.

This was written by my brother... she thought.

The movie started, and familiar Christmas songs came from the TV.

Having said so much, in fact, Chen Xing likes this movie more because of an actress in it.

This movie is composed of several small stories that happened on Christmas Day. One of the storylines is that one of the male protagonist’s good buddies got married, but he has always had a crush on the bride, and he kept filming the bride when he got married. So much so that they were discovered when they finally came to find the wedding video tape.

Chen Xing looked down on such a man.

But he likes this actor named Keira Knightley, and he fell in love with it immediately when he was watching Pirates of the Caribbean when he was young.

If he meets him in the future, he can also say that he grew up watching her movies.

On the way, I went to the kitchen to look at the stewed mutton bone soup. Seeing the color of the soup gradually change from clear to milky white, Chen Xing still had a sense of accomplishment. Although he used a simple seasoning packet, this was the first pot he made soup.

Try it first, if possible, then bring a pack back to Paris from the uncle in the hot pot restaurant, and make a meal for Hedwig.

At the end of the movie, Chen Xing couldn't wait to take out the mutton bones from the soup pot, put all the cut mutton in it, and finally sprinkled with salt and green onion.

As for the monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, of course there is some in the kitchen, but the mutton soup has a natural umami taste, isn't it superfluous to add monosodium glutamate?You should know that the word fresh is composed of fish and sheep, so there is no need to add MSG when making mutton soup and fish soup.

Chen Jiaqian kept watching, and when she saw that Chen Xing said it was OK, she drove Chen Xing out of the kitchen, and found a soup bowl to scoop out the soup from the pot.

After taking it to the table, I went to look at the rice in the rice cooker.

Chen Xing habitually sat on the sofa, watching the Icelandic news say something weird, and watched Chen Jiaqian walk in and out for a few minutes.

Huh?Aren't I the chef today?
Chen Xing considered whether to help, but in the end he sat on the sofa and watched the news with peace of mind.

In addition to the mutton soup that Chen Xing 'made', Chen Jiaqian also cooked two new dishes, one was green vegetables, and the other was scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Chen Xing tried it secretly, and they were both delicious.

Chen Jiaqian finally put on the bowls and chopsticks.

"Okay!" She clapped her hands together, and she was done.

In fact, looking at this mutton soup, Chen Jiaqian felt that it was similar to the one in their hometown, except that there were two small bowls of chili.

"When Shanghai ate mutton soup, there was no dipping sauce, so we just ate it directly. The soup tasted very sweet. Let me see how the soup you strongly recommend is different from the ones I have eaten before." She poured it into the bowl I served some soup and took a sip first.

"Well, the smell is very strong."

"Nong is right."

Chen Xing didn't know what ingredients were in the soup, but he knew that the dishes in Sichuan Province were basically like this.

Pay more attention to taste.

Xi’an mutton steamed buns are very famous. In fact, the soup base is the soup made from mutton bones, but Chen Xing feels very bland after drinking this. It’s not that it’s not delicious. Anyway, people from different places have different tastes. Eat it in other places. People who are used to it can gradually adapt to Sichuan Province.

But I am used to eating in Sichuan Province, and I can only eat something fresh when I eat anything.

Not only Chen Xing, but every one of his friends, after leaving Sichuan Province for a long time, must have an authentic hot pot meal when they return to Rongcheng, and they often say things like "a bird fades out of their mouths".

The two of them were very quiet during the meal, only the sound of the collision of bowls and chopsticks could be heard. Chen Jiaqian originally said that she would also have a meal of glutinous rice balls today, and he wrapped them up, but it seems that she can't eat them now, so she will save them for tomorrow morning Bar.

Their meal today is actually the daily diet of many domestic people during the winter solstice, which is very Chinese.

But the two of them ate such a meal on a small island far away from the mainland of China, and even far away from the European land.

It was snowing again outside the window, but it was very warm inside the room.

………………

Refusing Chen Jiaqian's request to live in her guest room, Chen Xing came out with a small bag of glutinous rice balls.

The law and order in Iceland is very good, which may be related to the fact that there are basically no refugees here.So there is no need to worry too much about any danger at night, Chen Xing finally feels a little safe here.

But still not at ease in their own country.

Chen Xing walked quickly towards the hotel where he was staying, wearing a down jacket hat.

Compared with Norway, the winter temperature in Iceland is actually not too low. The lowest temperature today is only -2 degrees Celsius. However, it may be due to the relatively dry climate. You can still see a layer of heavy snow at the door every morning.

One day before, Chen Xing got up early, and the snow on the ground had not yet been trampled down.

So Chen Xing still played on the snow like those children... No one should have seen it, otherwise his idol image would definitely be considered collapsed.

It's a bit late now, sister Jiaqian lives in a residential area, and there are no people at night, unlike Chen Xing's downstairs where there are so many bars at night, even at three or four in the morning you can see some drunks interacting with each other Helped go home.

"It's a good thing I haven't watched a ghost movie." Chen Xing suddenly thought about it.

Then I get cold all over...

"It's okay, it's okay, China's piaopiao can't come to Iceland."

Chen Xing walked down the street thinking like this.

There are many people here, and some tourists who have not yet adapted to the polar night in Iceland can’t sleep at this time, and they also go shopping, but at night, there are no shops on the streets of Iceland, only 24-hour convenience stores and those bars.

Back at the hotel, Chen Xing put the glutinous rice balls in a small refrigerator in the bedroom.

"Huh? How can I cook glutinous rice balls without a pot?"

This problem is very serious.

Sister Jiaqian also said that she would cook it by herself tomorrow morning. It seems that these glutinous rice balls can only be brought back to China in a few days.

time flies.

There are more and more tourists in Iceland.

During Christmas, many foreigners will come to Northern Europe to experience Christmas. After all, this is the hometown of Santa Claus. There are many atmospheres that are not found in Asia, and even many European countries do not have it. Iceland is a popular tourist destination anyway. Place.

Every day, at the Whale Wharf, many tourists can be seen queuing up to board the boat, waiting to go out to sea to watch whales.

Chen Xing has been there once, and I can only say that there are whales, but people with bad eyesight may not be able to see clearly. Even if there are lights on the boat to illuminate you, it is definitely not as wide as the field of vision during the day. There is a sense of fear in the dark sea.

Iceland is still suitable for summer.

After Chen Xing was recognized again, he specially posted a video recorded at the hotel on Biz, specifically talking about it with fans.

If you want to come to participate in Christmas, go to Norway.

If you want to come to Iceland to see the black sand beach, come in summer.

In Iceland in winter, Chen Xing thinks that only the street night view and geysers are worth visiting, but if there are tourists who want to live here for a long time to experience the customs of Iceland and meet some Icelandic friends, they can come at any time.

Otherwise, all of them will be fooled by my last video, and then the travel experience will be extremely poor, which is not good.

The day before Christmas, Chen Xing saw a new civic activity in Reykjavik on a forum in Iceland, saying that he wanted to go to the black sand beach where Chen Xing had gone before to collectively release Kongming lanterns, so he took this matter It was also sent to the dynamics of the beep station.

He has been recognized several times even wearing a mask, and it is estimated that there are many fans who have come to Iceland recently.

Chen Xing thought this matter was quite interesting, so he shared it with them.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was still bright, Chen Xing was heading to the Black Beach in the car of Sister Jiaqian's boyfriend, but encountered a traffic jam on the road.

Chen Xing thought it was normal, but for Icelanders, encountering a traffic jam when leaving Reykjavik is definitely a rare event in ten years. Sister Jiaqian’s boyfriend was so surprised that he got out of the car and took a video of the traffic jam with his mobile phone.

"Is it... so?" Chen Xing asked in Mandarin.

"Iceland rarely encounters traffic jams. It is likely that all of them are people who go to the black sand beach. It seems that there are many people participating in this event."

Chen Xing said: "When I went to my aunt's place for dinner yesterday, I saw a long line in front of her shop. They should all be buying Kongming lanterns. Alas, I should ask my friend to send me some. These few days Not worried about selling at all.”

All the small Chinese shops in Iceland are selling this thing recently, making crazy money.

It is estimated that Kongming lanterns throughout Northern Europe and even Europe have been absorbed into Iceland. After all, this is not a very popular product.If it wasn't for the trending search by Chen Xing that made the Icelanders find it very interesting, maybe the Icelanders would know what a sky lantern is until they die.
