Chapter 107: Study Tour in Germany (2)
Shi Jinlei's itinerary in Germany has already been arranged, so there will be an assistant to pick up the plane when he leaves the airport.
The foreign assistant in the car and Shi Jinlei had a conversation in English, while another foreign woman had a simple conversation with Li Dan in German.
This middle-aged woman is the guide arranged by Shi Jinlei for Li Dan.
Shi Jinlei also has an industry in Germany, he arranged two days to inspect the company and deal with the business here, afraid that Li Dan himself would be bored in the hotel, and also afraid that Li Dan would not be safe to go out by himself, so he specially arranged a local guide for her, the role is that when he worked in the past two days, he could accompany Li Dan to walk around and learn some German customs.
Li Dan has only been learning German for a short time, and now he can only use some simple everyday words. This made her want to talk to someone, but she couldn't express it.
Laura (Laura) is a more talkative woman, she did not laugh at Li Dan's three-legged cat's German, but spoke with her very patiently, and spoke very slowly, trying to speak clearly so that Li Dan could understand what she meant.
Of course, if you really don't understand something, the two of you can communicate in English.
In this way, the mixture of Germany and England, and the short time along the way, have allowed Laura and Li Dan to establish a preliminary friendship.
The assistant sent the two to the hotel, checked them in, and delivered them to their rooms before leaving.
All trips start tomorrow.
Li Dan put her luggage away and began to visit the room inside and out, this kind of luxury suite she had only seen in TV dramas, and she didn't expect that she would live in it one day.
Shi Jinlei didn't care about Li Dan's excited look when he saw her. Just let her run around, it's such a big place, she can't be curious if she looks at it once and is honest.
Sure enough, Li Dan jumped up and down for a while and felt bored, what is the use of so many rooms, they estimate that they can come back to sleep at night, and they will definitely have to play outside at other times, so in the end, what can be used in this suite is the bed and bathroom, and the rest is a waste.
"What are we going to do next? Do you want to stay in the hotel all the time? Li Dan asked pitifully, she didn't want to waste her time in the hotel. She wanted to get out and have a look. Even if you don't go anywhere, it's good to just walk the streets.
"Get dressed, let's go out to dinner." Shi Jinlei was originally waiting for her, so he didn't talk nonsense. Straight to the coat and ready to go.
Li Dan let out a small cheer. Hurry up and open your luggage. pulled out a coat from the inside, and followed Shi Jinlei out of the door.
Li Dan and Shi Jinlei's first stop was Berlin, the capital of Germany, which is the largest city in Germany. It is a world-class city in terms of culture, politics, media and science.
Of course, food is an integral part of the city's charm.
At the request of Li Dan. Shi Jinlei did not choose a big hotel, but dragged Li Dan to a small shop that looked quite distinctive.
The restaurant is very emotionally arranged, and most of the people who come in to eat are German locals, and Shi Jinlei and Li Dan, two foreigners, are a little prominent when they sit here.
Fortunately, everyone is very qualified, and when the two of them came in, they gave them curious looks, and then they didn't continue to pay attention.
Shi Jinlei and Li Dan studied the menu.
Germany, Shi Jinlei has been here many times, and for German, he can communicate simply, but he can't write, so he can't understand it. And Li Dan is just the opposite, in the past six months, she has learned the basic alphabet of German in school, and her grammar is also good, but there is no language environment, it is difficult to speak, commonly known as a dumb foreign language, and she can't write and speak.
Of course, with Li Dan's current level, even if he can't write completely.
In order to create an opportunity for Li Dan, Shi Jinlei directly pushed the menu in front of Li Dan and motioned to Li Dan to solve the problem of ordering.
Li Dan looked at Shi Jinlei, and then at the waiter who had just been sent away by Shi Jinlei with a few words, took a deep breath, pulled out the electronic dictionary from his bag, and began to immerse himself in translation.
Shi Jinlei looked at Li Dan with his chin on his hand, reminded him from time to time, or became a translator to teach Li Dan to read sentences or words that she couldn't read.
A menuLi Dan studied for an hour before stumbling and trembling to order food with newly learned words and waiters.
An hour and a half later, the waiter brought currywurs, pork knuckle and beer, and Li Dan was moved to tears, this meal was really not easy.
Li Dan still held his composure, and said to Shi Jinlei in German: "These are the most famous delicacies in Berlin, you're welcome, come and try them." ”
Shi Jinlei looked at the little woman opposite with a smile and dragged words to himself, these are all good or not he taught her just now.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality, I'm sure we'll all have a great meal." Shi Jinlei said gentlemanly.
The two men smiled at each other, raised their knives and forks at the same time, and started.
It was a very enjoyable meal. Li Dan eats German food, in fact, he feels that it is really not as delicious as his own country, but now that he is immersive, the taste is secondary, what he eats is this kind of atmosphere, and what he eats is a state of mind.
And the taste of these foods is still good, the elbow plate is huge, and the two of them have enough to eat. In this kind of small shop, eating meat and drinking wine, I found the right to be a hero.
Of course, eating in the mouth does not delay the two of them to listen with their ears. When Li Dan heard someone say something she could understand, she would lip sync at Shi Jinlei and repeat this sentence to indicate that I understood.
Shi Jinlei worked hard as a teacher, corrected Li Dan's incorrect pronunciation, and just ate and played, and the two of them actually ate everything on the table.
When it was time to check out, Li Dan was going to hold his stomach. It's just too much.
In order to eliminate food, after leaving the restaurant, the two of them walked hand in hand on the streets of a foreign country.
The two of them walked around without a purpose, and they didn't know where they went, until their legs were sore, so they raised their hands and called a taxi back to the hotel.
Early the next morning, Shi Jinlei was picked up by an assistant. Laura also took Li Dan to visit the famous scenic spots in Berlin. Since there were only two days, Li Dan chose the two places she was most interested in.
In order to take Li Dan around Berlin, he worked hard to compress the time, and the original two-day work was completed in a day and a half. Then the remaining half a day took Li Dan to go shopping.
"It's good. You try that again. Shi Jinlei sat on the sofa, looked at Li Dan who came out of the fitting room, nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled to the waiter next to him to take this too. The one you have in your hand is giving us a try.
"Don't. Enough has been bought. Li Dan was weakly opposed, and he was a little entangled in his heart, women all like beauty and beautiful clothes. But I bought a dozen or dozens of pieces at once. It's expensive to die. It's really unbearable.
Shi Jinlei took Li Dan to one of the most well-known commercial streets in Germany, where high-end luxury brands and international fashion brands are distributed. In one afternoon, Shi Jinlei had already taken Li Dan to visit six stores. A watch shop, a jewelry store, a bag shop, a women's shoe store, a women's clothing store, and finally a fur shop.
Not to mention that each store in front of him has gained a lot, let's just say that in this fur shop, Shi Jinlei has said six times that it is good, and it seems that he still wants to continue.
"You don't have any clothes to wear at home, so you just come over, so you can buy a few more pieces and you can change them when you go home. Besides, don't you keep shouting cold, these furs are warmer than down jackets. Shi Jinlei said as a matter of course.
Originally, when I was in Beijing, I wanted to buy clothes for Dandan, but he really didn't like those things in China, and felt that those were not worthy of his little woman. It's enough for Dandan to wear this year.
Li Dan secretly rolled her eyes, why didn't she have any clothes to wear, and she wasn't naked.
"I have clothes to wear, and besides, even if I don't, it's enough to buy so much, I don't want to buy any more. I'm going to be tired, let's go back. "Don't look at Li Dan is also a rich person now, but she is still a small citizen in her bones, and she really can't adapt to spending money like she does today.
These clothes are okay to say, more expensive also have the benefits of being more expensive, and good clothes can be worn for two more years. But the shoes are different, think about the shoes of eight thousand yuan, how can she bear to wear them to trample on her feet, then she can't take every step of her heart with the uproar of blood.
So when she started shopping, she was happy, but then she was a little frightened.
Shi Jinlei frowned and looked at the clothes that had not yet been handed out in the waiter's hand, and then looked at the impatience on Li Dan's face, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, you don't want to go shopping, let's go back." ”
Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief, went to the fitting room to change his clothes, and then lazily leaned on Shi Jinlei's body and watched the waiter packing the clothes. Knowing that these things will then be delivered to the hotel where they are staying.
"How do you get back after buying so many things?" Li Dan was a little worried, the next two still had more than ten days to go, so they couldn't take these things everywhere.
"You're stupid, don't you know that there is a thing called air transportation in this world." Shi Jinlei took the card handed over by the waiter, hugged Li Dan and walked out of the store.
Li Dan nodded clearly, yes, I can't take it back, can I still ship it by air. Her mind is still stuck in the old pattern and has not changed.
After a horrific shopping journey, everything is back on track.
On the fourth day of coming to Germany, Shi Jinlei threw off all his entourage and drove Li Dan to start a self-help journey.
Due to time constraints, it was impossible to travel to the whole of Germany, so the two of them chose a small area in southern Germany and simply drove a car with their bags on their backs to start a self-guided tour.
After leaving the metropolis of Berlin, I realized that under its tough appearance, there is romance, elegance and tenderness everywhere.
Every day, driving on the picturesque country road, strolling through the beautiful town with medieval architecture, and getting in close contact with the castle of the previous year, it is as if time has traveled back to the Middle Ages and come to the world of Grimm's fairy tales......
Li Dan sat in the car, counting the change in his hand.
"We'll finish lunch at the gas station in front of us in a while, and wash the car by the way." Note that this is a declarative sentence.
Because all the expenses incurred by self-driving are borne by Li Dan, including refueling, food, and accommodation. So the actions of these days are also decided by Li Dan.
And Li Dan is just a poor person struggling on the food and clothing line, so these days he is careful to maximize the utilization of the money in his hand.
There was a gas station in front of him, and Shi Jinlei drove over as soon as he hit the steering wheel.
The two worked together, Shi Jinlei was refueling outside, and Li Dan went to the convenience store to buy food.
In Germany, there are convenience stores in most petrol stations, where you can buy breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a variety of snacks and water. It's the same as a small supermarket in the country. The only convenience store here is open 24 hours.
Li Dan walked to the counter, looked at the packages placed in the counter, carefully looked at the price on each package, and consulted with the cashier. Just pull open the glass case. Take out two packages. Then I took a little more bread, snacks and water on the shelf and checked out together.
These days, it is Li Dan's task to communicate with the outside world, and her German has indeed made great progress because of Duoduo practice.
I had a pleasant chat with the German cashier. Li Dan walked out of the convenience store with a big bag and returned to the car.
"Come on, it's yours, eat more, you'll have to work hard for a while, hehe." Li Dan smiled maliciously.
Shi Jinlei glanced at her, took the lunch box, and ate it.
Li Dan pursed his lips a little unwillingly, "If you don't want to do it, just say it, I'll do it." ”
Isn't it just a car wash, when who can't do what.
Shi Jinlei didn't raise his head, so he threw two words, "I'll do it." ”
Li Dan endured the smile on the corner of his mouth, and sold well when he got cheap, "Don't be reluctant, I'm not a landlord and an old man, our family is a democratic family." ”
"Well, it's up to you to be democratic." Shi Jinlei raised his head this time, and directly pinched Li Dan's face with the hand holding the chopsticks, thinking to himself, this woman came outside to completely let go of her little nature, and she knew how to bully herself every day.
"Haha, I'm the only woman in our family, of course what listens to me is the will of democracy." Li Dan didn't blush when he said it.
I'm the only man in our family. Shi Jinlei only dared to think about this in his heart, and he might not have anything to eat if he said it.
In order to reward Shi Jinlei for his obedience, Li Dan deliberately stuffed the hardest bread she chose into his mouth.
German bread is known as the king of bread in the world, Germans take bread as breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, every meal is inseparable from bread, and on the road, the air is full of the fragrance of toast. Li Dan is a local custom, when he sees bread, he goes to buy a few, and there is no difference between eating and eating.
The two of them joked back and forth for a while, and finished their lunch after feeding each other. The main reason is that Li Dan is making trouble with Shi Jinlei and has to let him feed it.
After eating and resting a little, Shi Jinlei and Li Dan began to look for a place to wash the car.
Labor in Germany is very expensive, so car washing is self-service, at the gas station, high-pressure water guns, vacuum cleaners, buckets and brushes are all available, as long as you put coins into it, you can wash the car yourself.
The two of them were able to wash the car well at first, but after a while, they didn't know who started first, so they started fighting with each other, and by the time the coins thrown into the high-pressure water gun ran out, the two of them had already become soup chickens.
Looking at the car that was still covered in foam, and then looking at the two people who were flowing down their clothes, they couldn't help but laugh happily.
When the car drove on the highway on the way back, Li Dan's excited mood still did not calm down, there was a song in the car, Li Dan swayed his body and sang along.
Such a cheerful atmosphere also affected the driver comrades, and Shi Jinlei also hummed along.
"Shall we come here next summer vacation?" Li Dan looked at the high-rise buildings in front of her that were getting closer and closer, knowing that it was time to go home, and she had a feeling of unfinished thinking about this trip.
And this trip to Germany, Li Dan has gained a lot, the learning of German has made great progress, and she and Shi Jinlei have also been together day and night these days, and the relationship is naturally closer.
"Hmm." Shi Jinlei gave a guarantee in such a simple word. No matter where it is, as long as she wants to go, he will definitely accompany her. (To be continued......)
