Now Xiao Yifei plans to set off to inspect the winery. He didn't plan to go to Bordeaux on the first stop, he went to Champagne first.

The word champagne has many meanings. It is the name of one of the regions of France, the Champagne Ardennes, which is the first-level administrative body of France, equivalent to our province.

Secondly, Champagne is also the name of a French wine region, along with Bordeaux, Burgundy and Cognac. Only in the Champagne region, sparkling wine made according to the Champagne method can be called Champagne.

The other layer is champagne, which is actually sparkling wine, and the so-called sparkling wine is wine that contains gas, whether it is produced by the fermentation of this gas or injected, it can be called sparkling wine. That is, champagne is sparkling wine, but sparkling wine is not necessarily champagne.

This is similar to our Pu'er tea, which is the name of a city in Yunnan Province, and at the same time, it is also the name of a type of tea. However, if the tea leaves in other places are made according to the practice of Pu'er tea, they cannot be called Pu'er tea.

Xiao Yifei is now going to see what is special about the sparkling wine in the Champagne production area, why only here can be called champagne, and other places can only be called "sparkling wine".

As a result, before he set off, the settler came to the door. The phone rang, and he picked it up.

"Stupid pig."

No way, that's how to stay in France, you can't say hello to the "proud" French, you have to scold the stupid pig.

"Stupid, you think I don't know you're swearing."

Hey, why is a Chinese talking? It's 9 o'clock in the evening, and it should be 3 o'clock in the morning in China. This voice is not Xiao Ya's, who is it?

"You are?"

"Guess?"

"Can't guess." Such a childish thing, how could Xiao Yifei be fooled.

"I'm the one who settles accounts with you."

Xiao Yifei thought about it, he has been cultivating himself recently, and he doesn't seem to provoke women?

"There's something to say, I'll hang up the phone if it's okay."

"Don't, I'm Wang Nan."

Oh, the one at the Arc de Triomphe, I said it earlier.

"Wang Nan, who am I talking about? But it seems that I am your life-saving benefactor, why are you settling accounts with me? ”

"You posted our photos on the Internet without my permission and Shirley's permission, what do you say I am looking for you."

Needless to say, this is the lair of discovery. Xiao Yifei has always insisted on updating his daily photos on his blog, and now the blog has some readers. The photo Wang Nan said was the photo taken by Xiao Yifei before saving them, and was put on the blog by Xiao Yifei.

"This matter is mainly due to the fact that I am forced to do it in order to prove the law and order problem in Paris, lest the later countrymen accidentally fall for it. Besides, I've beaten the mosaic, and no one will recognize you. ”

"I don't care, you're not right anyway, you have to make compensation."

"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I pay compensation?"

"Are you embarrassed to say, obviously you arrived first, and you took a few photos slowly and then came to save us, and returned to our compatriots?"

Yes, Xiao Yifei did something inauthentic about this, and now he has been caught.

"I'll save you." Xiao Yifei himself felt that he was purely hard-mouthed.

"You're embarrassed to say that you delay taking pictures, in case, the black man used force at that time, wouldn't Shirley and I be in danger? Even if you don't die, you scratch your face, so what to do? ”

"Okay, don't say it, eldest sister, I was wrong, you want to fight or kill. You draw the line, and I'll follow. ”

There was a burst of laughter from across the phone, followed by Shirley's voice in English, and the two men muttered a few words in English, followed by both women laughing. Sensei said, this is a long-planned plan, Xiao Yifei can only admit it.

"We're going to join you on the journey ahead."

"What?"

"I said Shirley and I were going on a trip to the winery with you."

Xiao Yifei can't wait to give himself two mouths now. Let you be a girl.

Xiao Yifei announced his itinerary on his blog, although he did not say that he wanted to buy a winery, but also said that he would go to taste French wine next, first to Champagne, then to the Loire Valley, and finally to Bordeaux.

"Let me first state that my schedule is very tight."

Xiao Yifei has only recently made up his mind to buy a château in Bordeaux, but the Bordeaux château is not something that can be done with the current 2 million euros. It's not that 2 million euros can't buy a Bordeaux winery, but that 2 million euros can only buy a winery that can't be purchased.

Although Xiao Yifei is self-aware, he will not covet the five famous wineries such as La Firatto, but at least he must get a classified winery. However, the lowest classified wineries cost at least tens of millions of euros, and the higher ones are even more expensive. Therefore, he continued to raise funds, and after careful consideration, he finally chose to sell the most valuable oil painting.

To buy tens of millions of wineries, you must first sell oil paintings, and if you want to sell oil paintings worth tens of millions of euros, you must leave a preview period for the auction company and hold a few more previews, so as to attract more buyers.

The vineyard harvest usually starts in September, and budbreak begins in March next year. If you want to buy a winery, it is best to complete the delivery within this year. For tens of millions of wineries and vineyards, it takes at least three or two months to negotiate a deal. If you really want to take a look at what is said in some novels, sign contracts and checks with a big stroke of the pen, and really think that foreign countries are all saints.

In this way, half a year may not be enough. It's almost May, and he has to speed up his trip to give him enough time for the rest of the day.

"No problem, the itinerary is up to you."

It's not bad to have two beauties to accompany you, and the dull journey is accompanied by two beauties, well, it's happy to think about.

"Well, where are you?"

"We just got back to Paris from Switzerland."

"By the way, how do you know about my blog?"

"Stupid pig, I found your blog on the Internet with a search of the Arc de Triomphe, blacks, and robbery."

Khan, I see.

"Okay, you rest today, and we'll leave tomorrow."

"It's amazing."

Xiao Yifei immediately contacted the car rental company, the car he had just rented was no problem to drive alone, and now there are three people, and they can directly change to an off-road vehicle with a large space. If you are tired, you can go to the back seat and lie down and rest.

The next day, the trio drove two hours to Reims, northeast of Paris.

Reims, the northern gateway to Paris, is known as the "Coronation Capital". Since the 11th century, all French kings have had to go to Reims to be crowned, and the place of coronation is the Cathedral of Reims in the city of Reims, so Reims is known as the "City of Kings".

Of course, there are exceptions, and this exception is the famous Napoleon. Xiao Yifei's coronation picture depicts Napoleon's coronation, which took place in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Note that the painting is actually Napoleon crowning his wife, not Napoleon himself.

The three of them went to Reims Cathedral for a while and took some pictures. In Europe, among the ancient buildings of any city, the most spectacular and ornate are often the churches. It can be seen how much money the church had to loot in the past to build magnificent cathedrals everywhere.

Unfortunately, the Reims Cathedral in front of me has just been restored less than 100 years ago.

During the First World War, because the Marne River was behind Reims, everyone knew that during the First World War, the vicinity of the Marne River was the focus of contention between the two sides. In addition, 120 kilometers southeast of Reims is Paris, so the German army stormed Reims and almost razed the city of Reims to the ground, and Reims Cathedral was not spared.

After the German bombardment, only two walls of the cathedral remained. Later, in addition to the generosity of local wine merchants, the restoration work was also funded by the Rockefeller family.

Xiao Yifei and the others toured here for a few hours, and then went to the suburbs to find a winery to enjoy champagne.

The next day, we drove south along the road to Epernay, the birthplace of Champagne. Continue to revel in the champagne here.

On the way back to Paris, Xiao Yifei said proudly: "You guys follow my brother, it's really right, the champagne has been drunk in the past two days." ”

"To be honest, I've never had so many brands of champagne," Shirley said. ”

Wang Nan echoed: "I never knew that there were so many types of champagne. ”

Shirley complained, "I'm not as rich as you to buy as much champagne." ”

Xiao Yifei interjected:

"Okay, today my brother will take you to the Loire Valley and continue to taste French wine."

The Loire Valley, a must-visit for anyone visiting France.

With a length of 1,012 km, the Loire is the largest river in France and one of the most beautiful. Especially in the middle reaches of the river valley, the ancient castles are dotted with beautiful scenery, and it is known as the "French Garden".

There are three specialties of the Loire Valley: castles, white wines and writers.

The Château de la Loire Valley consists of Château de Champau, Château de Chenonceau, Château de Cheverny and the Royal Château d'Amboise. These ancient castles have been at the forefront of France's illustrious history and are a testament to French civilization. Many castles were built during the wars of the Middle Ages. During the Hundred Years' War, the French crown took refuge in the Loire Valley.

Known as the "Garden of France", the Loire Valley is one of the most important wine regions in the north-west of France. It is famous for its white wines, but there are also a small number of sweet and sparkling wines.

This is really a French garden, Shirley and Wang Nan commanded Xiao Yifei to drive around to take pictures of the scenery during the day, and when they met the winery, they got off the car to taste it, and felt that the taste was good, so they directly marked the card and put it in the back compartment, and packed it and sent it home at night.

To be honest, this place is really beautiful, but unfortunately Xiao Yifei found that this place is not suitable for him to buy a winery. Because the wineries here are not very famous, and the price is only a few euros to a dozen euros a bottle, that is, low-grade wineries that rely on running volume to increase income, Xiao Yifei imagined that even if the winery could not sell more than 500 euros like Lafite, it would be more than 100 euros, or what would you do with that effort.

So he grabbed the two girls and killed them directly in Bordeaux.

Of course, Wang Nan and Shirley were not happy, and kept complaining in the car:

"What's the hurry? Your visa expires very early, why are you in such a hurry, such a beautiful scenery, play for two more days. ”

Xiao Yifei could only tell the truth: "I want to buy a winery, but I can buy a wine estate in Bordeaux with the permission of the French government, and you also know the efficiency of the French and the French government. ”

Wang Nan asked in surprise: "You want to buy a winery?" Bordeaux? How much money do you have? I can't see that you are still a rich second generation, what do you do at home? ”

Shirley said disapprehantly:

"Why do you want to buy a winery in Bordeaux, our California Napa wine is better than Bordeaux."
