I Don’t Want To Be Popular Chapter 403: Borrowland Cherry Blossom
Bordeaux, known as Little Paris, is located in the south of France. The Mediterranean climate, the warm sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean, and the abundant sunshine bring a unique growing environment for the grapes. High-quality soil, irrigated by natural spring water, breeds grapes of excellent quality and produces the best wines in the world.
Arrived in Paris at 18:00 local time after a 12 hour flight.
Paris Chen Chuan is also the first time to come, but this is not the destination of this trip. I will come here next time to play and taste the gentleness and elegance of French women.
This time, he didn't leave the airport and went directly to another waiting room.
Transfer there, and after a one hour fifteen minute flight, arrive in the city of Bordeaux.
This is the hometown of red wine in the world, with more than 3,000 large and small wineries.
Because Chen Chuan came here at night, he did not enjoy the unique scenery. The airport is 12 kilometers away from downtown Boer. Chen Chuan didn't take a taxi. He took the airport bus with the crowd, and it took another 45 minutes to get to the city.
This is a tourist destination, and many people come to play. On the bus, Chen Chuan met Neon girls, Southeast Asian girls, and Finnish girls.
Of course there are men, but there is one thing to say, these two are juxtaposed, Chen Chuan definitely prefers to deal with girls.
The bus is on the road.
It was nearly eight o'clock at night, and it was pitch black everywhere. Although he couldn't see far, Chen Chuan also knew that there were vineyards on both sides of the road, and there were 120,000 hectares of vineyards scattered throughout Bordeaux.
On the bus, these tourists were chatting, and Chen Chuan also gained a lot of knowledge. For example, according to the latest quotation, 1 hectare of vineyard can be purchased for only 500,000 yuan.
Chen Chuan did the math, the [Tourwell Winery] offered by the system gift package is not at this price, it is 70 hectares, and the price is 10 million euros. After conversion, 1 hectare is nearly 1 million yuan... What does this mean? Either that, the winery is of good quality, the main and sub-brand of the wine is hard enough, and the output value is high. Either the system has been duped.
"Hey, January to March is the rainy season, so it's annoying if you don't see the sun!"
"Yes, and I heard that there is no water in the water mirror square in winter, but only in summer."
A Singaporean girl and a neon girl chat using basic English vocabulary.
Chen Chuan sat in the front row of the two of them, turned around and chatted up: "Isn't this water always available? It must be summer? Shouldn't it!"
Neon girl crying: "Yes, what can I do? I'm desperate too! Fortunately, there are still wineries and Arcachon Beach to go to."
"The beach, then this place is suitable for summer. Leave a contact information and invite you to come after summer." Chen Chuan said.
"Please come? Are you from this side?" Neon girl asked.
Chen Chuan smiled: "Have you heard of Chateau Tourwell?"
The other person shakes his head.
"Do you know Chateau Lafite?" Chen Chuan said.
“Château Lafite, located on a gravel hill in the north of the village of Pauillac, covers an area of 178 hectares, of which the vineyard covers 107 hectares. Lafite is a dialect of southern France, meaning It was founded in 1354 for the small hills. After being in the hands of the Xigang family for hundreds of years, it was purchased by the Rothschild family in 1868. The main variety in the estate is the top grade Cabernet Sauvignon, the grape skin Thick, tannin, freshly picked grapes will be put into oak barrels for fermentation. This process takes two years. Generally speaking, the newer the barrels, the better the taste. The specific flavor varies according to the type of oak barrels. For example, ..."
"Bridge bean sack!" Chen Chuan stopped the neon girl's analogy in time and said, "I just want to say, Chateau Tourwell, next to Chateau Lafite..."
"For example, if the oak is coffee-flavored, then the brewed wine has a coffee aroma, and if it's rose-flavored..." The Neon girl continued to speak fluent Japanese.
Obviously, this one had done her homework before she came to travel. She was eloquent and excited about the little things she knew.
"What if it's Xinyibang (spicy stick)?" Chen Chuan asked.
"What is Xinyibang?" Neon girl asked weakly, "Oh, I just found out that you are talking to me in Japanese? And it's Osaka accent, so powerful!"
"You haven't tried it before. When you get a chance to try it, you may not be used to it at first, but later you will fall in love with it." Chen Chuan said.
"Really? This Xinyi stick is so amazing? Then you must let me taste it." The girl said.
The Singaporean girl next to her sighed.
"Why? You have an opinion, do you want to try it too?" Chen Chuan asked the Singaporean girl.
"Oh, childish." The other party turned to look out the window.
The Neon girl stared at the two of them and asked Chen Chuan, "What happened to her?"
"It's okay, she wants to try it too, but I'm embarrassed to say it." Chen Chuan said.
"Ouch!" The Singaporean girl vomited.
"Cut!" Chen Chuan countered.
"Hey, our three oriental faces met here because of fate. Let's play together these days." Neon girl said, "Chuan-sang, Chu(はじ)めまして, どうぞよろしくおWish (ねが)いします”
"Haji didn't scold it, but if there is a omission, he deliberately scolded him to death. (Please take care of me for the first meeting)" Chen Chuan also said.
In the chat, I learned that the neon girl's name is Da Sakura, and the Singaporean's name is Wang Facai.
The bus was bumping up and down, and the three of them chatted in the car, and unknowingly arrived in Bordeaux.
Chen Chuan did not let Xun Xue book the hotel where he stayed. The place to sleep is not to be sloppy, and you can see it with your own eyes in the local area, and you will be able to choose the one that suits your heart.
One of the other two girls did not book, and the other booked a homestay.
The three decided to eat first.
Feeling the ocean breeze from the Atlantic Ocean, the three of them stretched together. This city is not like a big city like Shanghai or Tokyo. small town. There are medieval church buildings everywhere, and the Rococo style shows the romance and elegance of European architecture.
The city has a small population, but the streets are clean and tidy, and the shops are dense, especially the big names.
Chen Chuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw Louis Vuitton, Kadeer, Chanel, Dior and other big French brands under the street lights everywhere.
Standing on the side of the road, cars drove by one after another, and under the dim street lights, the shadow of the plane tree shrouded the three of them.
The three of them were very quiet at this moment, as if absent-minded in this foreign land.
There is a faint smell of fine wine and the smell of the Atlantic Ocean in the air. The ground temperature is about 3 degrees, so you need to wear a coat to keep out the cold.
Standing for a while, the three of them looked for a place to eat. After discussion, they unanimously decided to eat hot pot. Near the Bordeaux Stock Exchange, where the three of them stood, there was a hot pot restaurant called "Hua Xia Hotel". Chen Chuan thought it was a restaurant run by a compatriot. When he went in, he asked the owner who spoke French or Southeast Asia. Only then did I know... This is a cottage hot pot, not authentic at all.
So after another summation, the three decided not to eat here, and casually entered the small wooden house on the street, which is the restaurant of the locals in Bordeaux.
"A package."
"Me too."
The two girls ordered the set meal in the store.
Chen Chuan took a look. The set includes half a dozen oysters, 100 grams of snails, 100 grams of shrimp, and a chicken liver sauce, totaling 19 euros. If you want to pair it with 25ml of wine, you have to add 7 euros.
Oysters are eaten raw, Chen Chuan can't stand it, but the Neon girl looks normal.
"Is there any other way to eat these oysters besides raw? For example, steaming, roasting, or frying?" Chen Chuan asked the shop owner, speaking fluent French.
The owner's smile suddenly froze, and he said, "I'm sorry, we don't have a kitchen."
Now it's Chen Chuan's turn to freeze, dare to open a restaurant without a kitchen? The outside world is different!
"Chuan-sang, why don't we move to another place?" asked the neon girl Sakura.
Wang Fa Cai has already eaten it~IndoMTL.com~ She said: "I have to admit, this oyster is really delicious, this humble shrimp and snail are the sweetest I have ever eaten, don't you try it? I think I could add another!"
Chen Chuan was really hungry too, and there were other customers in the store. There were three old ladies at one of the other tables, and each of them ate two dozen oysters.
Chen Chuan estimates that if he eats this stuff, he will be full, and he will probably have diarrhea. Moreover, the menu in this store is super simple, only oysters, boiled snails, boiled shrimp, chicken liver sauce, and free French baguette.
Chen Chuan said, "Give me two sets of meals."
He made up his mind to try something new here first. If it tastes good, he will eat more. If it doesn't suit his taste, he will find a place to eat supper.
When the dishes were served, he took a photo. On a simple wooden table, a few plates of simple oysters, boiled shrimp, and snails... This was his first meal in France.
