"I must go! China can have people like Mr. Zhang, it will be a good place, come and come, the food will come, everyone eat, these are authentic French food, maybe you can't eat it in China......"

"I have long heard that French cuisine is the most prestigious dish in Western cuisine, and it is a pearl of Western culture. Legend has it that in the 16th century, after the Italian woman Catherine married King Henry II of France, she brought the cooking methods of beef liver, black mushrooms, tender steak, cheese and other cooking methods that were popular in the Italian Renaissance to France. Anthony Kellemen, who served as chief chef to King George IV and Tsar Alexander I of Russia, wrote a food dictionary that became the basis for classical French cuisine. "Zhang Tianyuan is a foodie, so he has always studied delicious things, and French food may not be missed.

"That's right, French cuisine is characterized by the use of fresh seasonal ingredients, coupled with the chef's unique cooking, to complete a unique artistic cuisine, whether visual, smelly, tasteful, touch, sympathetic, is unparalleled, and in the quality of food and service level dining atmosphere, it requires a refined overall table!" Napoleon VII nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang also has a study of dishes?"

"What kind of research, that is, to eat and eat usually, but unfortunately it is difficult to taste the original French cuisine in China, French cuisine is characterized by juicy and flavorful, and eating French food must have exquisite tableware and picturesque dishes to satisfy the vision, the tangy aroma of wine to satisfy the sense of smell, the delicious taste to satisfy the taste, wine glasses and knives and forks in the quiet and serene space interlaced, is the highest enjoyment of touch and taste. This combination of the five senses has developed an affectionate and focused taste. But we don't have that effect yet. Today was the first time I really ate authentic French food. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

French cuisine is currently the highest cuisine in the Western world and has been widely recognized. Its taste is delicate, the sauce is delicious, and the tableware is gorgeous. It's an art.

But at the same time that we express a strong yearning for French cuisine. I can't help but be impressed that French cuisine must be something high and special. This impression was formed by the history of chefs who lost their jobs with the decline of the aristocracy and opened restaurants in various cities in order to sell "court cuisine". And these restaurants attach great importance to the same atmosphere and luxury as the court, and show their value by "eating like a nobleman". So, in the minds of those of us foreigners, the impression of eating French food is left.

In fact, we don't need to think about it so carefully, as long as we basically don't make the sound of the tableware colliding and knocking, which will affect the dining situation of others, and then we can relax as much as possible. Eat naturally your way. In this way, you will no longer feel how strict and restrictive it is to eat French food.

Onion soup, snails, oysters and foie gras are some of the famous French dishes that are served in many restaurants and are not to be missed.

However, there are also people who are not used to eating it, such as Zhang Tianyuan does not have the slightest affection for onion soup and foie gras, while Serlin does not like snails and oysters.

Of course, just as many people in China don't like things like coriander, folded ear root, toon, etc., it doesn't stop them from liking Chinese food, even if Zhang Tianyuan and Serlin are not very interested in some French food. But on the whole, the taste of French food is indeed quite good, and without any emotion, it is a little worse than Chinese food.

It may have something to do with taste. After all, Easterners and Westerners are still different in many places.

It must be said that Napoleon VII was a very attentive person, he ate while eating. On the one hand, he also paid attention to what Zhang Tianyuan and others liked to eat and what they didn't like to eat. If you like something, let the kitchen prepare more, and if you don't like it, just take it. Either let the people in the kitchen eat it, or simply feed it to the dogs, anyway, there are a lot of vicious dogs in this castle, and it is also to prevent thieves from coming in.

Foreigners don't like to chat during meals, so everyone is appreciating the delicious food at this meal, and they don't speak, although this makes Zhang Tianyuan a little uncomfortable, but there is something in his mouth, so he doesn't bother to say it, and he will talk about it after eating first.

It's a little quiet, but it's nice to have melodious music.

After a sumptuous French meal, the people removed the tablecloth, as well as the tableware on the table, and then arranged for everyone to drink black tea, but Zhang Tianyuan had the habit of taking a walk after dinner, so Napoleon VII accompanied him out of the castle and walked in the huge castle, while Serpentine and others followed behind, chatting in a low voice, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and it felt like friends meeting outside to travel.

"Monsieur Napoleon, I would venture to ask, the annual cost of repairing and managing such a large castle should not be small, right?

Although Napoleon VII did not directly refuse Zhang Tianyuan's request to buy the white castle, it meant that it could not be sold. But Zhang Tianyuan is still a little unwilling, such a good place, it is a pity to let Napoleon VII go on so badly, it is estimated that in another ten or twenty years, this place will definitely be full of holes.

He believed that the management fee here was definitely not cheap, and that Napoleon VII had a little bit of a tight life, otherwise, it would not have been possible to ask only a few people to help, and the flowers and trees in the yard were basically not pruned.

According to his estimates, the maintenance and management costs of this place are estimated to be no less than two million RMB per year, because his courtyard house basically consumes these in a year, and domestic houses do not have to pay taxes every year, but foreign house taxes are very high.

Like the United States, many houses are very cheap to buy, but they can't afford to live in them, and they can't afford to use them.

Despite their size, the complex is much larger than his quadrangle, and most of them are very difficult to repair towers, so the cost of repair and maintenance is certainly higher.

Of course, the maids and housekeepers in Napoleon VII's family were all professional and specially trained to serve the aristocracy, which was very different from the domestic domestic service, after all, the domestic service was basically for ordinary people.

He asked such a thing, mainly to remind Napoleon VII that he thought that the price was about to be sold, and that keeping this place would not only cost a lot of money every year, but also that it might be targeted by people in the government department, which was really annoying.

"That's about 1 million euros a year, and I can still support that. Napoleon VII opened his mouth, he didn't want to mention the number, but he gritted his teeth and brought it up, this million euros is just the price of the jewelry that Zhang Tianyuan sent, but it can make him feel cramped.

"Hahaha, it's good to be able to support, it's good to be able to support, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else. Zhang Tianyuan smiled, he didn't expect this Napoleon VII to be so strong on top of the ancient castle.

In fact, he was also bluffed, if you think about it carefully, you can understand, what does the nobles want?

That's to die and suffer shame!

Without face, what do they have?

Therefore, the castle Napoleon VII will definitely not sell unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Actually, I think that Mr. Napoleon can donate this place to Brother Zhang in the name of donation, the purpose is to better protect this place, which can be regarded as an explanation to Mr. Napoleon Bonaparte. Serpentine said suddenly.

Don't look at the snake Lin is honest on the surface, but every word he says has a purpose, these words are actually said to Zhang Tianyuan, and at the same time, he is also reminding Napoleon VII that this step can be lowered, if the castle is donated in the name of donation, the purpose is to better protect this place, then he will not be scolded for being a loser.

As for money, you can trade it in private.

Sure enough, after hearing Seren's words, Napoleon VII's eyes suddenly lit up, and he lowered his voice and said to Zhang Tianyuan: "Mr. Zhang is really interested in buying this castle? This is not cheap, it costs more than one million euros a year just for repair fees and management fees, this is because I didn't invite too many people, and I didn't do a lot of things, if you want to protect this place, the annual consumption must be at least about five million euros." It's going to be more expensive for a one-time purchase, do you really have to have that much money?"

"Money is not a problem, the key is to see if you are willing to sell, Mr. Napoleon......"

After hearing Napoleon VII's relief, Zhang Tianyuan was a little excited in his heart, he didn't expect this matter to be easier to solve than he imagined. Now, as long as Napoleon VII finally decides to sell, it is estimated that it is useless even if the clan opposes it, after all, legally speaking, this castle belongs to Napoleon VII.

Besides, Zhang Tianyuan's proposal is very tempting.

At the end of the day, it's all about having money.

Zhang Tianyuan has made a lot of money these days, there is still money to buy such an ancient castle, but it needs to be scraped together, a lot of his money is now either invested, or lent to others, and some of the money earned has not been recovered, temporarily stored in a friend's place, if the money is gathered together, it is not very difficult to buy such an ancient castle.

"Well, let me think about it again, okay?" Napoleon VII thought about it carefully, and finally did not dare to make this decision lightly, after all, this is an ancient castle left by his ancestors, and once it is sold, it will be too late to regret it.

"Of course that's no problem, Monsieur Napoleon can think about it, after all, it will take a while for me to scrape together enough money, when you think about it, when you can sue me, I have no opinion. Zhang Tianyuan is not in a hurry, this is not to open a company, nor to develop a business, just to buy a castle he likes, if it is a little later, it is nothing. (To be continued......)
