From the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the ports from Barcelona to the Mediterranean coast of Livorno were filled with yachts belonging to dignitaries. Compared to London and Paris, the temperature is very pleasant, and the sandy coast can make you forget all about city life.

The same is true for the Yeon sisters.

They still have about 10 days of vacation to use before they start work in earnest. With the sisters planning and adding to Lin's budget, their trip turned into a yacht trip for the residents of Bracken Woods.

Lin Yilong initially planned a cruise from Southampton to Monte Carlo. But the sailing schedule happened to not go from Southampton to the western Mediterranean, so I gave up and chose a beautiful yacht with a charter price of 890,000 euros a week - "Utopia".

Manufactured by the Danish company Abeking-Rasmussen, the 77.5-metre-long Utopia is spread across five decks from top to bottom, with a crew of 23 more than enough for a team of seven adults, two children and a nanny.

Compared to the well-known Mediterranean top 4,000 pounds/person/night cruise, 790,000 pounds is indeed a bit extravagant. However, the money paid allows Lin Yilong to decide the route and date by himself, instead of having to follow a fixed schedule like a cruise ship, and at sea, Lin Yilong does not need to consider various problems on the road, just enjoy it directly.

That being said, the price is not low. Father Lin and Mother Lin must not be able to accept an expensive vacation that is equivalent to four times the amount of their annual sales and purchases, and when Lin Yilong informed Father and Mother Lin, he excused himself by saying that a friend of a "peasant club" owed him a favor.

Monte Carlo is the starting point of the tour, which will take them to RNY, Livorno, Civitavecchia and Amalfi before returning to the Czéviera after an overnight stay in Ajaccio, the birthplace of the Emperor of Nail.

There are no direct flights from Cardiff Wales Airport to the Czôte d'Azur, either from Amsterdam or Paris, but that's not the right thing to do. In order to save the journey and improve the grade of the entire trip, Lin Yilong chose to travel by leasing a business jet for the second time. At the Côte d'Azur airport, they will transfer to a helicopter and drop off directly on the Monaco waterfront – less than two kilometres from Monte Carlo, before taking a car to the port of Monte-Carlo.

"It's just too extravagant. Mother Lin waited on the helipad for the interval between Father Lin and Nadia and his party, and sighed to Lin Yilong, she thought that she had seen some people in the world, but she had to be a little flattered by the arrangement of "Lin Yilong's friends".

Before this kind of "fright" ended, Lin Mu was "hurt" her eyes by the yacht in front of her, which was equivalent to the size of a large villa, except for sighing "spectacular".

Lin Yilong first shook hands with the captain, and then shook hands with the first officer, second officer, chief engineer and engineer, first waiter, cook and the rest of the waiters. The Yeon sisters followed his example and shook hands with Tanica and Natasha in their arms.

These people, who have already experienced the so-called "high society", must have judged the relationship between Lin Yilong and the Yeang sisters, but they are limited by the confidentiality clause and "etiquette" of the employment contract to comment on Lin Yilong's lifestyle.

"Mr. Montiel, I think you already know the route we're going to. Lin Yilong came to the bridge after the meeting ceremony between the guests and the crew, and agreed with the captain on the sailing route, "I want to walk around Monaco, when can we leave the post at the latest?"

"We can leave the port at 6:30 p.m. at the latest, because it will be late and it will be difficult to leave the port smoothly as twilight falls. The captain replied, "Then we will be able to reach RNY without hurry." ”

"So, what about the dinghy?" Lin Yilong asked, "I want to take my parents to the famous spinach industry Vanity Fair, preferably around 10 o'clock in the evening. ”

"It was no problem to use a dinghy to complete the transfer. The captain laughed, "'Your hope is my instructions,' so does the chef still need to prepare dinner?"

"I shouldn't need to, I ordered a meal at the hotel. Lin Yilong replied, "However, my daughter's nanny should stay on the yacht to eat, but you can ask the waiter to ask her." ”

In addition to the "master suite" occupied by Lin Yilong and the Yeang sisters, there are also five guest rooms of different sizes on this ship, and the largest two are naturally arranged for Lin's father and Lin mother and Yaang and his wife. Most of the furnishings inside are custom-made artists, and a considerable part of them are genuine antiques – although Lin Yilong doesn't know much about these things.

Accustomed to a hard life, Father Lin, Mother Lin and Mr. and Mrs. Yeang walked around those priceless antiques like poor relatives entering the city, for fear of being "blackmailed" by the crew.

"It's okay. Lin Yilong tried to ease the tension of his parents, "Although these are so-called antiques, they are worth about twenty or thirty pounds, which is about the same as those things sold in the thrift market—no, if the two are compared, there is only an eye for beauty between the old and the antique." ”

Despite this, several pensioners were still very restrained, and it was not until Lin Yilong asked the crew to receive the fragile antiques in the boxes that they calmed down a little and began to "explore" in the cabin at their own pace.

Lunch is made on board the yacht by the yacht's two chefs and features Russian dishes. Lin Yilong's favorite thing about Russian food is the sour taste in it - I don't know what these Eastern Europeans are crazy about, salads should be sour, soups should be sour, meat main dishes may be accompanied by sauces that are sour, and even desserts, if not specifically mentioned, will be sour. It seems that the head chef noticed that no one was drinking alcoholic beverages except for Father Lin and Mr. Yeon, and the chef tried his best to make food with light yogurt and seasoning kvass as the main seasoning to neutralize the incongruity of the sweetened drinks that were served by non-drinkers.

The waiter at the table is trained in Russian table manners: the dishes are cooked in the kitchen, each dish is placed on a delicate plate, the dish is served to the restaurant serving table using the shoulder tray method, then the left hand is used to invite the guests to enjoy the dish in the chest tray method, and then the right hand is used to divide the dishes for each customer through the serving fork and service spoon, instead of the American fast food service, the dishes are served directly on the plate one by one.

"Bon voyage!" Lin Yilong released a very short toast.
