Chapter 678
As Alexandra Daddario narrates, the meaning of this"astronomical clock" changes again.
There is a saying that goes,"The value of a cultural relic comes from its story." This astronomical clock obviously made Jessica feel more mysterious and charming because of the story behind it.
Speaking of"mysterious", Alexandra Daddario showed a mysterious look at this time.
Turning around, his eyes turned slightly, his light blue eyes glanced at Martin, and he said:
"Did you know that according to legend, the operation of this astronomical clock also hints at the fate of the Czech Republic in some ways?"
"Everything is great while this astronomical clock is running, but once it stops, things can go bad"
"The last time this happened was in 2001. Before midnight on New Year's Eve of that year, the astronomical clock had a slight problem and stopped swinging -"047". In August 2002, Prague suffered a severe floods"
"Wow!"Jessica covered her mouth again and exclaimed. This girl had a particularly strong sense of immersion, and she didn't know why her acting skills improved slowly.
At this time, the time came to the hour.
The window on the clock opened automatically, and the movable device carried by precision gears Accompanied by the sound of bells, the statues of the 12 Apostles appeared one by one in the window like a revolving lantern, bowing to people.
Martin and Jessica noticed that many of the surrounding tourists and local citizens began to adjust their watches.
……
After seeing the Astronomical Clock, Alexandra took Martin and Jessica to visit the Charles Bridge
"There is a saying in Prague: If you haven’t walked across the Charles Bridge, you haven’t been to Prague. This bridge built in 1357 is the most famous bridge on the Vltava River. It has almost become a symbol of Prague. There are 29 statues on the bridge……"
As Alexandra spoke, she took Martin and Jessica for a walk on the bridge. One end of the bridge is the old city and the new city, full of gorgeous buildings from all eras; the other end is the rolling hills dotted with It's Prague Castle; and on both sides of the bridge is the sparkling Vltava River. Standing on the bridge and looking around, it seems that there is scenery on every side.
Alexandra stopped suddenly, pointed to a statue in front of her and said,"Look, this statue of St. John is said to be able to fulfill a sincere person's wish."
"Really, what needs to be done? Jessica became interested.
Alexandra pointed to the bottom of the statue and said:"See those two metal reliefs? Just touch them and make your wish sincerely." If the saints are inspired by you, they will help you fulfill this wish."
Martin moved his eyes downward and saw that the two metal reliefs under the statue of St. John had been touched and sparkled.
Jessica had already stepped forward and placed her hands on the two metal reliefs. On the relief, he closed his eyes and murmured in his mouth.
Martin looked at Alexandra,"Don't you want to make a wish? Alexandra answered the question unintentionally:"Martin, do you think the saint can really hear people's voices, and will he really fulfill people's wishes?"
Martin smiled and said:"There are too many people making wishes, and the saints may be too busy."
Alexandra showed a hint of disappointment:"Really?" Do you think he is ineffective? Martin said:"
How do you know if you don't try? Although there are many people who make wishes, the most special one may be noticed by the saints?"!
Alexandra's eyes lit up,"Do you think I am the most special one?""
"At least one of them!"Martin glanced at Jessica who was making a pious wish in front of her.
Alexandra smiled. After Jessica completed her wish, she also walked to the metal relief and put her hand on it.
……
After leaving Charles Bridge, the three of them came to a residential area in Prague
"God, the houses here are all colored, so beautiful."
This is the first time Jessica has been amazed.
The houses in the residential area are red, yellow, green, blue... and they are all made of bright colors, which look like... It makes people feel happy.
Walking there, Mozart's music sounded melodiously from nowhere, as if she had entered a fairy tale world.
Alexandra felt that all the worries she had accumulated for a year had dissipated with the music and the beautiful environment, and her whole body Comfortable.
Sometimes she talks to Jessica, sometimes chats with Martin, and occasionally her eyes meet, and she bursts with joy.
The person is jumping, the heart is jumping, and the"bear" is also jumping.
In In Martin’s eyes, this picture is too beautiful!
……
It was evening, and the three people who had enjoyed themselves returned to the main city.
Martin took the two girls to a famous local roast duck restaurant.
They ordered Czech dumplings, Czech roast duck, etc., which are famous local traditional cooking delicacies........
Martin tried the Czech dumplings.
These are dumplings, but they’re more like bread – they’re made from a dough similar to bread dough, cooked and sliced into thin slices, and served with a variety of traditional Czech dishes including sirloin cream sauce, tomato gravy, stew and more. Edible, it is a local staple food!
The taste... can only be said to be okay.
The Czech roast duck suits Martin’s taste buds very well. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
From a health point of view, Czech roast duck is definitely a high-calorie food; but from a delicious point of view, this delicacy can be compared with Chinese roast duck.
Different from Chinese roast duck, Czech roast duck uses ducks with a long growth cycle. The ducks are very lean but have firm meat. They are then marinated with local Czech ingredients, covered with honey on the skin, and slowly roasted over firewood.
Martin forked a piece of duck meat and put it into his mouth along with the accompanying side dish of French fries. When he took a bite, the crispy snapping sound was heard, and then the fragrant and tender duck meat juices exploded in his mouth.
Martin's eyes lit up.
This dish is really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, firm but not sticky. It tastes even better when paired with French fries.
Nice!!!
……
After enjoying a feast, Martin, Jessica, and Alexandra returned to the hotel.
As night fell, Jessica, who had a battle with Martin, fell into a deep sleep.
That's right, after arriving in Prague, Martin and Jessica lived in a room directly, and the crew turned a blind eye to this.
The relationship between these two people is no longer 1.4 secret. The scandal has long been spread on the Internet, but the person involved has not confirmed it personally.
"Jesse, Jesse?"
Martin called softly twice, smiled slightly, slowly took his hand out from under Jessica's neck, covered the girl with a quilt, kissed the girl's forehead again, and then tiptoed out of bed. , put on clothes and walked slowly towards the door.
The moment Martin closed the door, Jessica opened her eyes and snorted angrily.
"Humph, I knew you, a bad guy, were going to steal love and beauty."[]
Martin, who was standing outside the door, also showed a smile,"I knew you were pretending to be asleep, but you didn't stop me. It seems you have a good impression of Alexandra!"
