Chapter 812: The Hometown of Lavender
"Zhu Zijun, in my impression, you are not this kind of person. Sawajiri said with a smile.
"I'm that kind of person. Zhu Zi said very seriously.
"Hahaha!" the girl laughed.
Zhu Zi and Masami Nagasawa also smiled.
…………
At the beginning of April, Zhu Zi returned to Tahiti and married Maki Horikita.
For the girl, she finally got what she wanted
After getting married, Zhu Zi took Horikita Maki, Nagasawa Masami, Sakai Izumi's daughter Zhu Yadie and her sister Zhu Muyu to travel together.
The little girl Zhu Yadie can now call her father very fluently, and the little girl's personality follows her mother, very well-behaved.
Under normal circumstances, she doesn't cry or make trouble, and everyone in the Zhu family spoils little Lori very much.
The first place they went was Provence.
The whole of Provence has an unusual charm due to its great variety—the weather is unpredictable, sometimes warm, sometimes cold, undulating, plains, steep peaks, lonely valleys, desolate castles, winding mountains and lively metropolises - all in this French land. In July and August, lavender blooms in the wind, decorating the verdant valleys with intense colours, and the slightly spicy scent blends with the scent of scorched grass to create one of the most memorable scents of the South of France. In terms of gastronomy, Provence's greatest strength lies in the abundance of agricultural products, fresh vegetables and fruits, olive oil, garlic, seafood, spices combined into a paradise for diners.
Although there are differences in the climate between the north and south of Provence, it is generally suitable for tourism all year round, especially in the peak season of spring, summer and autumn. Provence is famous for its winter winds, especially those that blow from the Alps, which run smoothly down the Rhone valley and sometimes reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour. The climate is mild, the air is fresh and the blue waters are crystal clean.
Provence is located in the south of France, and from the day of its birth, it was carefully guarded that it was not until the arrival of the Englishman Peter Mayer that the veil of Provence's long-standing unique lifestyle was gradually revealed. In Meier's pen, "Provence" is no longer a simple geographical name, but also represents a simple, carefree, relaxed and lazy way of life, a kind of leisure artistic conception of "pampering and not being surprised, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, leaving unintentionally, and wandering with the clouds outside the sky". If traveling is about getting rid of the shackles of life, Provence will make you forget everything.
The whole of Provence has an unusual charm due to its great variety, sometimes the weather is unpredictable, sometimes the warm winds, sometimes the sea breezes are wild, the terrain is undulating, the plains are vast, the peaks are steep, the lonely valleys, the old castles, the winding mountains and the lively metropolis are all in this French land. In July ~ August, lavender blooms in the wind, intertwining into the most unforgettable scent of the South of France.
The most heartwarming thing about Provence is that its air is always filled with the aroma of lavender, thyme, pine, etc. This unique natural aroma is not easily experienced anywhere else. Among them, lavender is the most unique and loved.
Because the abundant sunshine is the most suitable for the growth of lavender, coupled with the local residents' love for the aroma and curative effect of lavender, therefore, in Provence not only can you see the charming picture of lavender purple flowers everywhere, but also often hang all kinds of lavender sachets and sachets at home, and the store is also full of various products made of lavender, such as lavender essential oil, perfume, soap, candles, etc., and lavender herbal tea is sold in pharmacies and markets. It is tempting to learn more about the fascinating aroma of Provence – lavender.
In Provence, lavender fields have a very different landscape throughout the year. In winter, after the harvest is cut, only short, neat dead stems remain, covered with snow. When spring arrives, green leaves emerge.
In June, the lavender flowers quickly turn into a charming deep purple as the summer sun gets hotter and hotter. This was followed by the busy harvest, and time was important, so the growers had to work around the clock to harvest the flowers and distill the extract. By the end of September, all the fields had been harvested. The lavender fields are able to catch their breath and absorb the best of nature in preparation for next summer's purple blooms.
Provence, the home of lavender. When it comes to Provence in France, in fact, it is not only in Provence, walking on the roads with green belts in many French cities, people can always see purple lavender swaying in the wind. The aroma of the Provencal wind can't be summed up with just purple lavender, because there are so many things here that make the smell happy. Even if it is not possible to know all the incense of Provence, it is necessary to go to Provence to experience a few of the special flavors of the place. Wandering between the cities of Provence, especially in Marseille, one will quickly become acquainted with one of the local specialties: Marseille soap.
This very famous soap can be said to be the pride of this Fersai city and its industrial production. Today, only a small amount of Marseille soap is produced here and it is made by hand. Making a piece of traditional Marseille soap requires at least three weeks of preparation, and the main raw material for production is vegetable oil. It can be said that Marseille soap is a testimony to the love of aromatics in Provence.
Provence's temperate climate generously welcomes the abundance of exotic fruits and vegetables that thrive locally. Among the many exotic plants, lavender has always been the queen of the local plant world. This plant from the region of ancient Persia is renowned for its elegant light fragrance. Over time, this lilac flower from the Middle East has become an important symbol of Provence, France. It adorns the fields and roads, courtyards and rooms of Provence with its characteristic blue-purple and delicate fragrances. The harvesting of plants that seem to have mixed scents has become a relatively rare phenomenon. This is due to the fact that since the 19th century, lavender, perfectly adapted to the mild climate of Provence, began to spread all over the fields and fields of Provence, and it was since then that people began to use lavender to formulate some famous brands of perfumes. This has led many family-owned flavor distillers to move their businesses to Provence, where they use lavender to make colognes, which are not very well-known.
Zhu Zi hugged her daughter with a happy face.
Zhu Muyu looked at his unreliable younger brother with disgust: "Brother, do you know what the flower language of lavender is?"
