Chapter 61: Lakes and Mountains

Lucerne is one of the most beautiful cities in the country of S, which developed from a thriving town in the Middle Ages. Here, the famous Kabe wooden bridge stretches across the lake, with a wooden roof and a triangular interior frame with many old and beautiful paintings. The lake under the bridge is filled with beautiful white swans, which are flocks of three or five, or love each other to arrange their feathers, or bow their heads to peck at the small fish in the water, or suddenly flap their wings, and fly over the water with their wings to go to a farther and sparkling place.

This is a city where the lakes and mountains shine together, and it is the loveliest and most spiritual city. It was the city that inspired Richard Wagner to create Sigffried Pastoral Symphony. There is a lakeside road in the city, hence the name of the famous musician.

When Yin Jie arrived in the city by train, he was already feeling a little tired. She took her suitcase to the business district of the old city and found the small hotel she had booked. This hotel is upstairs in a restaurant. Walk in through the small door on the side of the restaurant and go through a deep passage to the small foyer of the hotel. After checking in with the handsome and gentle waiter in uniform, Yin Jie walked into the old elevator hall and planned to go up to the top floor (fourth floor) through the elevator. This ancient elevator has no four walls, just a bare platform of about 4 square meters, with waist-high railings on three sides, and the elevator buttons are on the railings. At the push of a button, the entire platform slowly moves upwards at a turtle speed. Yin Jie felt that even if he took a nap on the spot, it should be okay. It is estimated that the elevator may not be able to reach the fourth floor after the break.

The four walls of the room are decorated with logs, the beds are snow-white and fluffy, and every place is cleaned up, revealing a sense of warmth. Because it is the top floor, the wooden ceiling slopes down to one side. There is also a large glass window in the ceiling. Yin Jie happily thought that after going to bed at night, he could look up at the stars in the night sky through this glass window while lying on the bed. Fall asleep in the company of stars, and there must be stars in your dreams.

The room is well equipped, the bathroom is small but clean and warm, not only all kinds of toiletries are neatly arranged, but there is also a hair dryer and iron ironing board. There are also two floor-length shutters under the sloping roof in the bedroom. Pushing one of them outward, you can see the delicate clusters of flowers in the flower bar outside the window, and the sound of the market downstairs immediately poured in.

Yin Jie continued to look around carefully, and found that there was a very beautiful wine table behind the pillar, under which was a mini wine cabinet and a small Xiaoice box, in addition to water glasses, wine glasses, and wine decanters, it was also equipped with a sophisticated Nespresso coffee machine and two free coffee capsules.

That's really a lot of sweetness.

The bed looked soft and soft. Yin Jie's whole body was tired and shouting, urging her to wash up and lie down on the bed now, but when she thought of the few museums and churches that she had booked in advance, she couldn't help but hesitate. If you don't go this afternoon, and it's completely too late to make a new appointment (you need to make an appointment 24 hours in advance), it will not only be a waste of money, but you will definitely pass by these places this time...

I still don't want to give up. She was ruthless, took a quick hot shower to relieve her fatigue, and then walked out of the door with a light dumpling bag. She plans to start with a good lunch and then a big cup of coffee to refresh herself.

In order to save time, Yin Jie settled lunch at the nearby restaurant downstairs. The owner of the restaurant is a man who looks a little gloomy. He came to Yin Jie and asked for his evaluation of the dishes. Because he was satisfied, Yin Jie generously praised him. The man's gloomy face showed signs of brightening. He didn't believe it, and when he asked Yin Jie which dish he liked the most, Yin Jie pointed to the pork roll cheese in front of him very affirmatively, and gave two thumbs up sincerely. The man finally grinned uncontrollably, and he told Yin Jie that this dish was a new product that had just been launched, and he thought that Yin Jie, as an Asian, might not be used to the taste of this dish.

The two talked for a long time. Yin Jie's mood has become very good, of course, most of the good mood comes from this food. Just imagine, the meat rolls that look tender and tender, but when you bite into it, you have the feeling of hot and fragrant cheese suddenly bursting into your mouth...

After settling the bill after the meal, Yin Jie took the initiative to come to the restaurant's guest book, and enthusiastically praised the dish and the creativity of the restaurant in both Chinese and English.

After she handed the guestbook to her boss, the boss's smile was as bright as a blooming flower.

Throughout the afternoon, Yin Jie visited the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of History, and the Rosengart Private Collection, the latter of which was the place she felt was most worthwhile. The museum is owned by a well-known art dealer and an important art collector by Pablo Picasso. An entire floor of the building is dedicated to Picasso's paintings and drawings, and another floor is dedicated to photographs of Picasso's private life. The collection of Picasso's works here ranges from the early Blue Period to the later beautiful Cubist paintings, the most representative of which are Picasso's oil paintings, drawings and a large number of manuscripts and pictures in his later years. In addition to Picasso, the museum also houses works of art by CΓ©zanne, Monet, Matisse, Chagall and other world-famous masters of 19th and 20th century painting. Yin Jie watched it in a fascination. Under the influence of Yin's father, she knew a little bit about Chinese painting, but she never studied oil painting. Of course, she likes the fusion of form and meaning of Chinese painting, and the beauty of both form and spirit. But I also like to appreciate the harmony in the local color excess, which is unique to oil painting.

On the way back to the hotel, Yin Jie saw several street artists singing and dancing while playing, and some young people dancing along with them, the notes reverberating in the air smelled of happiness. She couldn't help but smile.

The next day, Yin Jie chose to visit Pilatus in the most classic "Golden Circle" way: first take a boat around Pilatus Mountain, then take a cog train up the mountain, and then take a cable car and aerial cableway to skim the slopes, where she feasts her eyes on pastures, babbling streams, rugged cliffs, leisurely gazelles, and gorgeous and solitary alpine roses. Once you've reached the top, turn around and look down at the mountain, surrounded by idyllic villages and surrounded by thrilling mountains. On the other side, the city of Luxon is surrounded by four lakes in a picturesque setting.

She suddenly missed her family very strongly, father, mother, and, He Yuxin...

Just at the top of the mountain, she dialed He Yuxin's phone.

He Yuxin was in a meeting, and his brow furrowed when he saw the caller ID. Nodding to the secretary Linda to take notes, she walked out of the conference room.

"What's wrong?" the worry in his tone could not be hidden. He and Yin Jie have video calls almost every morning (the early morning of S country time is noon in the imperial capital). He knew that his wife was going to Mount Pilatus today. But now I suddenly called him on my mobile phone...... Did something happen? His heart lifted.

"Husband, the scenery I saw was so beautiful, I was so moved. Yin Jie's somewhat choked voice came.

"You're not feeling sick, are you?" he asked, still a little uneasy.

"No ......" I could hear that it was still moving. He Yuxin was a little funny, and he also had some warmth in his heart.

"Well, what moved my wife like this? Can you describe it to me?" he whispered indulgently, his voice as warm and soft as the sound of a cello.

Yin Jie suddenly came to his senses and said a little flustered: "Excuse me from your work, right?" Husband, I just wanted to share it with you when I was so moved. ”

"I know. It didn't matter, it didn't delay anything. I also want to know what the scenery looks like for you, and how about taking more pictures? Or take a video of me first, and then let's go on vacation together?"

After Yin Jie agreed, he babbled and told her to pay attention to safety.

When going down the mountain to ride the cable car, Yin Jie met a domestic "aunt tour group" and took the gondola together. The cable car had just slid over a huge and steep rock when the setting sun jumped out of the clouds. "It's so beautiful!" Yin Jie leaned against the window and admired.

Suddenly, a strong force came from behind her, pushing her hard away. She fell to the side of her body.

A pair of hands caught her. She looked up in horror and saw that it was a gentleman who was nearly half a hundred years old.

"Are you alright, girl?" the gentleman asked with some concern, "do you move your body to see if there is any problem?"

Yin Jie moved for a moment and said to the other party gratefully, "Thank you, I'm fine." ”

He said sternly to a woman who was crowding in front of the window and watching the sunset excitedly: "Liu Meiqin, you should apologize to the little girl!"

Liu Meiqin turned her head and glanced at Yin Jie with disdain, and pouted: "I didn't touch a single hair, what do you want me to apologize for?"

Yin Jie's anger surged up, but when she turned her head and saw that there were still a few foreigners in the carriage who were silently watching, she suppressed the anger in her heart, turned back to the gentleman and said:

"Sir, are you traveling together?"

"Yes, that's my wife. He reached out and pulled over a middle-aged beautiful woman who was nodding and smiling at Yin Jie. Then he said to Yin Jie:

"Let's apologize for her, girl. We were also unlucky to have her as a companion, and we caused a lot of unpleasantness in the group along the way, and everyone else was fine. ”

"Where's your guide?" asked Yin Jie.

"There were a lot of us, he was on the cable car in front. ”

Yin Jie nodded and didn't mention the matter again. At the halfway station, the group will transfer to the suspended double cable car, and Yin Jie will transfer to the rack train to descend the mountain. Yin Jie finally saw the tour guide. The middle-aged man had already explained the situation to him, and the tour guide hurriedly came over to apologize to Yin Jie. Yin Jie reminded him to pay attention to Liu Meiqin's words and deeds to avoid causing big things abroad.

"If it hadn't been for this gentleman holding me, I would probably have broken my head just now. She pushed me in the direction of an edge of the carriage. She added. The guide's face changed.

"There was a foreigner in the carriage just now, so I didn't bother with her. But I ask you, Mr. guide, to discipline her well. Otherwise, causing trouble will not only lose the face of our Chinese, but will also definitely cause big trouble for your company. After all, once something happens, no matter how you deal with it, it will definitely affect your company's business reputation. Yin Jie emphasized, "You can't pray that she's lucky every time?" The tour guide apologized nervously again, promising to report the matter to the company. He asked for Yin Jie's contact information, saying that he would send the apology letter to Yin Jie's mailbox later.

After Yin Jie left, the middle-aged man asked him: "It's good that things are going on, why do you have to write an apology letter? I don't think Miss Yin is a scheming person." ”

The tour guide looked bitter: "Didn't you listen to her just now?" I don't care because I don't want those foreigners to see our Chinese jokes, otherwise she will definitely not give up." ”

"Isn't this all over?" the middle-aged man asked puzzled.

"It can't just end like this. The tour guide smiled bitterly, "This Miss Yin knows the situation in country S very well. If she is not satisfied with the outcome, she knows how to complain to our travel agent. When the time comes, you will be fine, and there will be a stain on our company's credit history, which will have a great impact on the industry rating and future operations...... Once this effect is caused, no one knows how long it will take to wash it off. As for me, if she really complains, this matter will definitely be accurate, and I guess I will be unemployed..."

"So serious?!" exclaimed the middle-aged man in disbelief.

The tour guide thought about it and decided to report to the company immediately. At the same time, in view of the fact that this Liu Meiqin has caused a lot of trouble along the way, it is recommended that she be blacklisted. As for this trip, it is necessary to communicate with the domestic agency in China to negotiate a plan, and there is no reason to only let your company bear all the risks.
