There's nothing particularly remarkable about this town, or it's a famous attraction in the outside world, or the town itself is a big attraction.

You can take beautiful pictures just by standing there.

Just like women such as Li Ruotong and Lin Yixuan, as guaranteed tourists, taking photos is an indispensable thing for them after every scenic spot.

"How can there be so many performances here, is it deliberately arranged?"

Just standing in front of the fountain and taking a few photos, Li Ruotong looked at a man playing a trumpet on the side of the road and couldn't help asking.

The object of questioning is naturally Wei Xiong.

"There are a lot of street performers performing here all year round, and of course, a lot of the official performances have to be ticketed."

"But most of these street performers perform for the sake of acting."

"There are a lot of people who come here all year round to see these artists perform, and as long as someone can enjoy it, they enjoy themselves."

Wei Xiong competently plays the role of a commentator.

"It's only in Europe that you can see this kind of street artist who doesn't ask for anything in return, and performs purely for the sake of performance."

Li Ruotong said with emotion.

"It's pretty much the rest of the world, it's really a culture, and it's the cultural self-confidence of Europeans since the Renaissance."

"Hey, why are there so many needles stuck in it?"

At this time, Li Ruotong pointed to a statue on a two-story building on the side of the road, and saw that there were many steel needles stuck in the head and shoulders of the statue.

"Huh, guess what?"

"Is it a lightning rod?" Li Ruotong thought about it and said an answer: "It doesn't seem to be, there is only one lightning rod." ”

"And it's not a high position."

As he was talking, several pigeons flew through the air, and Li Ruotong's mind flashed: "I know, those needles are to prevent those pigeons and birds." ”

"You guessed it."

"Many of these statues are hundreds of years old and are historical artifacts, but there are some corrosive things in the guano."

"If it is contaminated with guano for a long time, it can cause damage to the statue."

"But it was a lot of money to hire people to clean it up regularly, so all the statues were fitted with the steel pins you see."

"But they weren't plugged in, they were glued."

Lin Yixuan also heard it, and walked over and said in surprise: "Mr. Wei, you know too much, as if you know everything." ”

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "These are just common sense, just walk around and take a look." ”

……

Dinner was cooked by Wei Xiong himself, because he had already eaten a French meal at noon, so he made Chinese food, which took nearly two hours before and after.

When he came to the restaurant with the last course himself, it was already past 7 o'clock.

"Alright, dinner can begin."

Taking the apron and handing it to the servant on the side, Wei Xiong sat on the main seat, only to see him raise his wine glass and say, "It's really nice to know you." ”

"That's what we should say."

Lin Yixuan, who has always been active, said on behalf of all the flight attendants: "Thank you for coming to Provence for your hospitality to us this time. ”

As she spoke, Lin Yixuan secretly kicked Li Ruotong's foot under the table.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and then said in hindsight: "Yes, thank you Mr. Wei for your hospitality, we had a lot of fun today." ”

"Just be happy."

After lightly touching the wine glass, dinner officially began, and everyone, including Ouyang Yaqing and Chen Mengyao, ate with relish.

But the difference is that Ouyang Yaqing and Chen Mengyao just think it's delicious.

And Lin Yixuan's five daughters are excited, you must know that these are all made by Wei Xiong himself, but not everyone has the opportunity to eat.

Before that, they didn't even dare to think about it.

……

After dinner, Li Ruotong's five daughters went back to their rooms after a walk around the manor, and they had to get up early tomorrow, so they had to rest early.

Li Ruotong took a shower, came out of the bathroom in pajamas, and went directly into the bed.

"I turned off the lights."

"Wait a minute." Lin Yixuan put the impurities on the bedside table, turned her head to look at Li Ruotong, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?" ”

"How does it feel?"

Li Ruotong is a little inexplicable.

"Wei Xiong, I saw that you guys were talking quite speculatively this afternoon, how do you feel?" Lin Yixuan showed a hint of a ridiculous evil smile on her face.

"Are you thinking too much?"

Li Ruotong glanced at Lin Yixuan angrily: "People treat us so thoughtfully, I can't put on a face anymore." ”

"Do you really not know or do you not know?"

"The reason why he is so polite and thoughtful to us, whether he is a tour guide or cooks himself, is not all because of you."

"Even a fool can tell he likes you."

Saying that, Lin Yixuan couldn't help but say with emotion: "What I used to know about him came from various media, and there was always a feeling of unreality. ”

"It wasn't until I had such close contact in the past two days that I knew it was so perfect."

"Especially the dishes he cooks."

"It's really delicious, those five-star hotels are compared to him, they are scum, I didn't expect his cooking skills to be so good."

"I used to suspect that the media was deliberately exaggerating."

"After all, a man like him who is so successful in his career is hard to imagine him cooking in the kitchen with a pot and shovel in his hands."

"I find you're about to become a nymphomaniac."

"When I meet such a perfect man, it is estimated that it is difficult for a woman in this world not to become a nymphomaniac, the only pity is that he is too flowery."

"You know he's spending."

"You know my character, it's impossible for me to be with him, and I just broke up with Fu Xiaojun now, and I don't want to fall in love again so soon."

"Okay, it's not early, it's time to sleep, be careful if you can't get up tomorrow, I'll turn off the lights."

Li Ruotong glanced at Lin Yixuan helplessly, then got up and turned off the light, and the spacious and gorgeous room suddenly fell into darkness.

The two chatted a few more words, and it didn't take long for Lin Yixuan's even breathing sound to be heard.

She couldn't help but smile, and just now she was chatting with her, looking full of energy, and she slept like a pig in just a few minutes.

Looking at the ceiling, she couldn't help but think of what Lin Yixuan had just said and the scene during the day.

At some point, a heartfelt smile appeared on her face, and she only felt that Wei Xiong didn't seem to be as annoying as she imagined.

……

The next day was still a sunny day, and after breakfast, Wei Xiong set off with a team of beautiful women, still riding a bicycle.

is still carrying Li Ruotong.

They first went to see the lavender flower fields, the mountains were full of purple lavender, and the air was filled with the scent of lavender flowers.

It's a beautiful, spectacular, and poetic scene.

Not to mention Li Ruotong and other women, even Wei Xiong was a little fascinated, it was the first time he had seen such a large and beautiful lavender flower field.

Lavender is also known as perfume plant, spirit vanilla, vanilla, yellow vanilla

It belongs to the Lamiaceae genus Lavender.

Its leaf shape and flower color are beautiful and elegant, and the blue-purple inflorescence is long and beautiful, which is a new perennial cold-tolerant flower in the garden, which is suitable for flower path cluster planting or strip planting.

It can also be viewed as a bonsai

It is native to the southern foothills of the Alps along the Mediterranean coast of France and southern Italy, as well as in Spain and North Africa.

In the 13th century, it was the main plant planted in the gardens of European medical monasteries.

In the 15th century, cultivation began in the Haier Chaxia area;

At the end of the 16th century, cultivation began in the southern regions of France; In the 18th century, Surrey's Mich, London's South End's Lavender Hills, France's Provence,

As well as the mountains near Grasse, they are all famous for the cultivation of lavender.

In the 19th century, Britain, Australia, the United States, Hungary, Russia, Japan and other countries successively introduced and cultivated, and now it has spread to the Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal countries.

The most valuable thing is that lavender is not only ornamental.

It also has extremely high medicinal value.

For example, lavender essential oil extracted from lavender can effectively improve people's sleep conditions, in addition to having an antispasmodic effect on the ileum and uterine smooth muscle.

Others include antibacterial, nerve protection, lipid reduction, treatment of cardiovascular insufficiency and so on.

Extremely versatile.

Then for its edible value, lavender tea is brewed from dried flower buds and can be enjoyed by brewing with boiling water for 5 minutes.

It is also sweet and delicious without honey and sugar.

This tea does not have any side effects, it has the ability to calm down, relax digestive tract spasms, cool and fast, eliminate flatulence, aid digestion,

Prevents nausea and dizziness, relieves anxiety and nervous migraines, prevents colds, and many other benefits.

Drinking it when hoarse and losing your voice can also help with recovery.

Among the thousands of flowers in the world, there are almost all-powerful flowers like lavender, if not none, but there are definitely only a handful.

In the flower field, the women took a lot of photos, some of them were individuals, and some of them were in twos and threes.

There are also photos with Wei Xiong.

In addition to Li Ruotong and Lin Yixuan, the other three flight attendants were still a little nervous about Wei Xiong on the first day, but today they let go a lot.

At the beginning, they all looked for opportunities to get around Wei Xiong.

Just look at their nymphomaniac looks to know what their purpose is. But it didn't take long for them to dispel their illusions.

Although Wei Xiong greeted them with a smile, he obviously had a taste of coping.

is only different for Li Ruotong.

"Very good...... That's it...... One more ...... Raise your head a little more...... Good...... Change your position...... That's it......"

Like a professional photographer, Wei Xiong constantly instructed Li Ruotong to change his pose.

This flower field is huge.

Every time they walked to a place with a different view, everyone had to stop and take pictures, and Wei Xiong, the only man, naturally took on the role of photographer.

Among them, Li Ruotong, Ouyang Yaqing and Chen Mengyao took the most.

Although he is pursuing Li Ruotong now, he has never had the habit of liking the new and hating the old, let alone favoring one over the other to his own women.

"Step back a little further...... Good...... That's ......"

Wei Xiong's body was half-squatting, and the camera took two more photos in a row with Li Ruotong standing in the lavender bush not far away and wearing a lady's hat on his head.

"Okay, Miss Li is really photogenic, it's a pity to only be a flight attendant."

"That is, our Tongtong is the first beauty of Cathay Pacific, there are so many female stars in Hong Kong, and it is estimated that few of them are as beautiful as our Tongtong."

Lin Yixuan held Li Ruotong's hand and said proudly.

"Yixuan, how can you boast like this." Li Ruotong glanced at Lin Yixuan and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

……

After admiring the lavender fields, the group went to a winery in the afternoon.

The winery is not large, has its own winemakers, winemaking equipment and vineyards, etc., and can produce thousands of wines every year.

"Is this your own winery?"

Li Ruotong was curious and looked at everything in the winery, of course she had drunk wine, but it was the first time she had such a close contact with a winery.

Wei Xiong smiled slightly and said, "Well, I just bought it not long ago." ”

"Compared with world-famous wine brands such as Latour and Lafite, the brand of Ronis is almost not well-known in the world."

"And the annual output is very small, at most it will not exceed 8,000 pieces."

"But in the European high society, Ronis red wine is still quite famous, especially popular with women, and it is in short supply almost every year."

Li Ruotong asked, "Why?" ”

"Because ChΓ’teau Rhynis is almost 500 years old, it was the royal wine of the French court during the time of Louis XIII."

"And Ronis didn't start out on a much larger scale."

"200 years ago, when the French Revolution broke out, ChΓ’teau RhΓ΄ne was owned by a count, a follower of the royal family."

"So the revolutionaries were killed, and the winery was burned down."

"The current ChΓ’teau Ronis was restored on the same site after the Revolution and is much smaller than before, especially the vineyards."

"As for why it's more popular with women, it's because it's relatively sweet."

"Provence has a lot of sunshine all year round, so the grapes produced have a higher sugar content than Bordeaux and other places."

"Naturally, the wine made from this grape will be sweeter."

Li Ruotong's eyes widened and said: "I didn't expect that the wine produced by such an ordinary-looking winery was actually the court wine of Louis XIII?" ”

"Surprised, right? Hehe. Wei Xiong smiled.

This winery was introduced to him by Sophie, and it is more appropriate that the previous owner was a nobleman, or a descendant of a nobleman.

Because there is no formal aristocracy in France today.

The descendants of this aristocrat used to engage in financial investment, but in the past two or three years, due to the continued downturn of the French economy, the scale of assets has been shrinking.

In the end, only some fixed assets under the name can be sold.

"According to you, it's hard to get your wine's wines in the market?" Lin Yixuan walked over and asked curiously.

"It's not that it's hard to buy, it's that you can't buy it at all."

"The thousands of units produced each year had already been privately booked the year before. Let's go, I'll take you to the vineyard in the back. ”

A winery that produces only a few thousand wines a year may seem small, but the vineyards are not.

"Wow, that's big."

Lin Yixuan stood on the steps, looking at all the vines, and could see some workers working under the vines.

"There are 2,000 vines here."

"Don't look at 2,000 grapes, it seems like a lot, but even at the best of the harvest, you can only make three bottles of wine from one grape at most."

"Generally, you can only brew about two bottles."

Lin Yixuan walked down the steps, stood under a grapevine, looked at the grapes hanging on the tree that were about to ripen, and asked with a surprised face:

"You can only make two bottles of wine from so many grapes?"

"Actually, really high-quality wines are pretty much the same, this time we came a little early, the grapes are not ripe yet, otherwise we can taste it."

Lin Yixuan continued: "It's the same if you invite us to taste the wine here." ”

"Yi Xuan."

Li Ruotong glared at Lin Yixuan angrily, no matter what they said, they were just guests, so taking the initiative to ask for it made her feel weird.

Wei Xiong smiled indifferently.

"Actually, we drank Ronis wine for dinner yesterday, and if you like, I can give you a couple of bottles when we leave."

"That's not good, this wine of yours should be very expensive."

Li Ruotong said hesitantly.

Wines like this are not available at all, only private orders are accepted, and the demand exceeds supply, which they cannot afford.

This time, Wei Xiong of Provence was also very well entertained.

She didn't want to take Wei Xiong's things anymore, not because she was worried about what Wei Xiong thought of them, but she didn't like it herself.

"Just a few bottles of wine, nothing."

……

The vineyard is huge, but to be honest, it's not much to look at, after all, no matter how different it is, it's still the same vine.

However, Li Ruotong and other women are quite interested in the work of workers.

Seeing Li Ruotong standing next to a worker who was pruning branches, Wei Xiong walked over and said, "This work of hers is very important. ”

"It's a little hard to understand." Li Ruotong glanced back at Wei Xiong.

"In a month or so, the grapes will be ripe, and in order for the grapes to grow better, they need to absorb a lot of nutrients."

"But the branches take away the nutrients, so every few days, the workers have to prune them."

"I see."

Li Ruotong nodded suddenly, only feeling that all walks of life have their own unique knowledge, and this time I came to Provence to gain a lot of knowledge.

……

After visiting the vineyard, Wei Xiong took the interested women to the wine cellar, which is really 500 years old.

When the winery burned down, the cellar deep underground survived.

Every wooden rack, every barrel, inside is an out-and-out antique, and although it may not be worth much, it is very rare.

The air in the cellar was stuffy, the light was dim, and everyone stayed for a while before leaving.

Then Wei Xiong took the women to walk around the rest of the winery, and by the time they left the winery, it was already 5 p.m.

……
