Chapter 677: Fontainebleau

During the day, Paris is full of dynamism and energy, showing the atmosphere of a modern city; Paris at night is even more stunning and romantic, exuding a charming fragrance. Bai Xia took Yao Xiaoyu and Sikong Yao to visit the banks of the Seine, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.

Starting from the end of the Champs-Élysées, not far away is the Seine River, at this time the sky is not completely dark, the afterglow of the neon lights in the sky slowly refuses to fade, the bright moon can not wait to hang high in the sky, a good picture of the sun and the moon with the beautiful scenery of the Seine, the lights on both sides of the river, the night is dark, the quiet river reflects the light bridge shadow, giving people a very enchanting feeling.

Under the starlight, the whole gallery looks both brilliant and elegant, surrounded by reliefs in the form of babies, garlands, etc., which are painted in color or gold in addition to white, and the beams are divided into several sections, which are decorated with exquisite patterns, rich in the charm of Italian architecture, and perfectly and harmoniously blend the Renaissance style with the traditional French art.

If you look over the railing on the side, you will find a vast forest on the other side of the river, and according to Bai Xia, the Fontainebleau forest is one of the most beautiful forests in France, with oaks, oaks, birches and other conifers densely layered, like a huge green carpet. When autumn comes, the maple leaves on the opposite bank gradually change color, and the red and white scene is translated as "Fontainebleau".

Although Fontainebleau is a Chinese name translated by transliteration, like the Champs-Élysées, it is a rare stroke of genius in the history of translation. Like the Champs-Élysées, the translation of the name "Fontainebleau" will make one fall into an endless reverie of beauty. There is the swaying of the shadows of the trees in the sea of thoughts. There is the thin dew of autumn, the change of seasons, and the eternity of time.

Although the Château de Fontainebleau is not as magnificent as the Palace of Versailles and the Louvre, it is elegant and generous, giving people a quiet and warm feeling. From the point of view of architectural art, the architectural styles of various periods from the Renaissance onwards have left traces here. The Château de Fontainebleau can be said to be one of the masterpieces of classical French architecture.

I don't know who gave it this beautiful Chinese translation, but whether it is Xu Zhimo's "Fontaine Boluo" or Zhu Ziqing's "Fontainebleau" on paper, it always refers to a place, a place as beautiful as its name. It can be said that the transliteration of "Fontainebleau" is closer to the original French pronunciation than "Fontainebleau". But what is the more beautiful translation of "Fontainebleau"?

As one of the most prosperous satellite cities of Paris. Whether it is day or night, it is with an extraordinarily lively atmosphere, and between the lights, there are always beautiful stories one after another.

I walked around for more than an hour. I didn't see a thousandth of the night view of Paris. But the meaning of the three people does not seem to be here. After walking for a while, Yao Xiaoyu suddenly made another proposal: "Bai Xia, I heard Uncle Sen say that you bought a villa here with the salary you defrauded." Take us over and have fun? You must have a lot of ingredients hidden in your house, right? ”

Hearing this, Sikong Yao was also very excited, and he had long wanted to take out the cherry blossom jelly he learned in Japan to show off his white face, but now he finally found an opportunity, of course he couldn't miss it, so he also said: "Well, I also agree to this proposal." ”

Bai Xia said again: "That salary is what I earned hard, how can I be cheated, I also have a job, right?" ”

Yao Xiaoyu said: "Okay, okay, you earn, you earn, you work hard, you run back from abroad day and night, just to work, I know your professional ethics, so can you please take us to visit the villa you bought with your hard-earned salary?" ”

Bai Xia nodded and said, "Okay, but I haven't been back to that place for a long time." ”

Sikong Yao asked a little embarrassed, "Uh...... Is that going to be all spoiled? ”

Bai Xia smiled: "How is it possible, I have hired a housekeeper to take care of it, even if I can't live a few times a year, but it can be regarded as my real estate." ”

With Bai Xia's temperament, he probably won't buy an ordinary European-style villa, and after a few people arrived, they found that it was really the case, and its appearance was made of corrugated steel plate lattice, and the surrounding buildings were plastered.

With the Eiffel Tower as a vistas and a pool in line with it, the living spaces of the villa are somewhat abstract and blurred at the edges, arranged in a powerful assemblage of eight objects connected by ramps, rather than the traditional corridor or tandem organization, with the main living space on the ground floor located in the garden, separated by screens and bamboo. The residence is surrounded by an old-fashioned neighborhood built in the 19th century, resembling a classic European landscape painting, but with a strong modern touch.

Wait to take a look, only to know that it is not simple, the interior space is open, inside and outside transparent, in the space plane design in the pursuit of freedom not limited by the load-bearing wall, indoor walls, ground, ceilings and furniture furnishings and even lamps and utensils are all in a concise shape, pure texture, fine craftsmanship, as far as possible without decoration and cancel superfluous things, that any complex design, no practical value of special components and any decoration will increase the cost of construction, emphasizing that the form should serve more function.

At a glance, it is very simple and clear, the most conspicuous thing is a kitchen, or in fact, the first floor of this three-story villa, with an area of 200 square meters, is all Bai Xia's private kitchen.

Sikong Yao took a closer look and found that there was actually an artificial sea area against the wall, which was cultivated with all kinds of fresh seafood, such as Australian lobsters and Dungeness crabs from New Zealand, as well as many strange fish types that could not be named, which looked like a small aquarium, and couldn't help but be startled, this Bai Xia was too generous.

Bai Xia turned on the switch on the right side of the wall, and then lowered a piece of territory from the ceiling, which carried all kinds of fresh fruits, and there was also a hidden mechanism under the floor, which could raise a storage cellar, which was full of fermented cheese.

When they saw that Bai Xia's villa was like a small food storage warehouse, Sikong Yao and Yao Xiaoyu were stunned, this is said to be a place to live, but it doesn't look like it at all.

Yao Xiaoyu cheered excitedly: "Bai Xia, you can do it, the renovation of this villa has cost a lot of money, right?" The restaurant didn't raise you in vain. ”

Sikong Yao looked at the dazzling array of ingredients and the various exquisite tableware placed on the cabinets, and suddenly his blood boiled, and he was excited to try it, and said, "I want to show my skills in this place." ”

Yao Xiaoyu also picked up a Seiko fruit knife and said: "Oh my God, this is limited to mass production in Italy, there are only forty-nine in the world, I don't know where to buy it, Bai Xia, you actually have it!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Yao Xiaoyu discovered that Baixia's villa is not only an ingredient warehouse, but also a museum of limited edition goods, basically all the tableware is limited edition, and the price of each handful is extremely expensive, and Yao Xiaoyu's face was a little pale, "You guy, how much money have you exploited from the restaurant." ”

Bai Xia shrugged his shoulders and said: "Don't wronged me, these are not all bought, some are also given by others, and some are trophies that others challenge me beyond their might, there are all kinds of ways, and there are not many things that are really bought." ”

Sikong Yao said suddenly: "You are also a cook, how do you feel that you live so nourishingly." ”

Lying on the glass of the water tank and looking at the raw seafood, Sikong Yao suddenly felt a huge sense of gap in his heart, this Bai Xia is really not an ordinary chic.

Bai Xia smiled and said: "These things are just left behind, I rarely touch them, if you like it, you can take it as you like." ”

Yao Xiaoyu shook his head lightly and said: "Forget it, these are all yours, I'm not rare, it's useless to ask for so much, but if you can borrow a precious place to enjoy the fun of cooking, it will also be excellent." ”

Bai Xia shrugged indifferently and said, "If you like it, you can just toss it, and the housekeeper will help me clean it up." ”

With Bai Xia's permission, Yao Xiaoyu said politely: "That's a good feeling, I'm welcome!" ”

Bai Xia nodded and said, "Whatever you want, you are really a hard worker, you obviously have time to rest, but you have to be tired and tired to do non-stop, and you should enjoy life once in a while." ”

Yao Xiaoyu said unremittingly: "I don't want you to be a genius like that, if you don't work hard, you will be left behind all of a sudden, and I don't feel tired, as long as I can cook, I will be very happy." ”

Looking at Yao Xiaoyu's tireless appearance, Bai Xia suddenly had nothing to say, and then said helplessly: "I really convinced you." ”

Sikong Yao also picked up the ingredients and said, "I want to play too." ”

The two girls occupied the kitchen at once, Bai Xia seemed to be isolated, he shrugged helplessly, and said, "I'll go upstairs, and you will come up when you get it done." ”

Yao Xiaoyu said reluctantly: "What, don't you come to show your hand?" ”

Bai Xia smiled and said, "I'll forget it, so as not to hurt your self-esteem, I'd better go upstairs and make a pot of tea." ”

Sikong Yao said slyly: "Hehe, you can do your best, you are probably afraid of us, I will make the results of my practice during this holiday to show you your face, you just wait to kneel and beg for mercy." ”

Bai Xia also snorted coldly and said, "Joke, just because you two want to challenge me?" Give you an hour and don't keep me waiting. ”

After saying that, Bai Xia went upstairs, leaving the two girls in the kitchen happily.

Sikong Yao looked at the dazzling array of ingredients neatly stacked on the cupboard, all kinds of seasonings and herbs that she had seen and had never seen were dazzling, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in her heart, if she could have such a house in the future, it would definitely be a great enjoyment in life.
