Chapter 778: Paris

After a hearty lunch at Warren's house, we drank tea and chatted for a while, and then said goodbye to the Warren family and took the car back to Mina's house.

The next day, Chu Chen called Zhao Qirui's friend and asked him to help transport all the antiques he bought from Warren back to China, and the blue and white jar with the key hidden was also ready to be disposed of separately after he returned.

The reason why Chu Chen didn't deal with it last night was not that he didn't want to take things out quickly, but because he hadn't thought about telling Wu Ke about the ability, not that he didn't believe in Wu Ke, but that this matter had too much to do with him, and he felt that it was better to rot in his stomach.

Everyone has his own private secrets, but not all secrets are suitable for honesty, and some of them we need to confide in to reduce the burden on the soul; And there are some secrets that we need to hide in the deepest part of our hearts so that everyone can be safe.

Just like Chu Chen's private secret of having special abilities, it is best for him to enjoy it himself, and it is not a good choice to share it with his parents and lovers. Sharing these secrets may make them think that Chu Chen is brave and selfless, but it will also make Chu Chen passive, and he is likely to gain more than he loses in the end.

There is a saying that ignorance is bliss, although this sentence is not absolute, but some things do need a degree, and knowing too much will bring a lot of troubles.

For example, Chu Chen told Wu Ke the secret, but in addition to satisfying Wu Ke's curiosity, there was no other benefit, on the contrary, Wu Ke often reminded himself to keep the secret, worried that he would accidentally leak the secret.

It can also be seen from this that Chu Chen told Wu Ke the secret. It will only bring trouble to Wu Ke, and there will be no other benefits at all. Rather than so. He might as well keep this secret himself.

Of course, Chu Chen in addition to exposing his secrets. You can also pretend to drop the jar, but the level of imitation of the blue and white jar is very good, reflecting a high level of art, and it would be a pity that such an item was deliberately broken. Therefore, he decided to take the things back to the capital and deal with them.

Considering that Wu Ke and Mina were about to separate, and Wu Ke still had some things to deal with at school, Chu Chen did not go to France alone, but stayed at Randy's house for a few days. It wasn't until Friday, April 12, that he and Wu Ke, who had basically finished handling the affairs of the school, left for Paris.

It only takes an hour to fly from London to France, and the two of them arrive at the pre-booked hotel at half past nine.

After putting away the luggage, Chu Chen called Vincent, but it was unfortunate that Vincent said that he was still on a business trip to a country in Eastern Europe, even if it was fast. It also takes evening to get to Paris, and I hope Chu Chen will forgive me.

Before coming this time, Chu Chen did not inform Vincent in advance, after learning the news. He was going to play with Wu Ke for two days first, and simply set the time for trading with Vincent on Sunday.

Chu Chen's decision also made Vincent breathe a sigh of relief. Although he also wanted to trade with Chu Chen immediately, he also wanted to deal with his current affairs well. So the two made an appointment. I hung up.

When Chu Chen put away his mobile phone, Wu Ke next to him gave him a blank look. said: "You, it's true, why didn't you make a phone call to the other party before you came!" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "It's Friday today, I originally thought he should be in Paris, but I didn't expect him to be a busy man." ”

Wu Ke shook his head and smiled: "This person has collected so many valuable collections, he must have a small career, so it's normal to be busy." Besides, this way of dealing with it is not right, how can you trade with others without making a phone call in advance? Now that you're doing more and more business, you'll have to change this habit in the future. ”

Chu Chen hugged Wu Ke in his arms and said with a smile: "Then it's up to you, a virtuous person, to help me change it!" ”

Wu Ke laughed teasingly: "You mean that you want me to help you correct your bad habits like you did when you first came to the capital?" ”

"This ...... Let's take another approach! Recalling that he was so miserable by Wu Ke at that time, Chu Chen couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing Chu Chen's expression, Wu Kejiao laughed, and then asked, "Achen, what are we going to do next?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "Let's go to Paris first, and then taste the food of Paris." ”

"You know how to eat!" Wu Ke glanced at him with disgust, and then said with some longing: "But I haven't tasted authentic Parisian food yet, I heard that the French snails of L'Escargot Montorgueil are very delicious, I must try it today!" ”

Seeing Wu Ke talking about food, Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Wu Ke turned his head and saw that Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh a little, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, laugh again, be careful that I bite you......"

Speaking of Paris, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the world-famous Eiffel Tower, and the first place Chu Chen and Wu Ke went to was the attraction known as the landmark of Paris.

Located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in all of Paris and a cultural symbol of France. The building was built to welcome the Universal Exhibition and to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.

The Eiffel Tower is named after the famous French architectural engineer Eiffel, and a bronze bust was sculpted for Eiffel at the foot of the tower on the north side.

It is said that at the time of its construction, some prominent French literati protested to the government, calling the Eiffel Tower a "disgrace to Paris" and one writer disparaging it as a "truly unfortunate street lamp".

But it soon turned out that they were wrong. When the Eiffel Tower was built, it was the tallest building in the world at the time. It immediately caused a sensation at the Paris World Expo that year, and nearly 2 million people visited the tower during the World Expo. Since then, the Eiffel Tower has become a proud attraction in Paris and has grown in popularity. To this day, it brings Paris a considerable income every year.

Standing at the base of the tower, looking up at the iron tower like a steel giant, I feel that the complex steel frame vertical and horizontal construction shows a strong and fine structural beauty, which is very spectacular.

In the past, Chu Chen didn't have much feeling when he saw this tower in the magazine, but now when he sees the real thing, he can't help but praise the greatness of the designer Eiffel.

The two took a few photos in the square before preparing to climb the tower. There are two ways to climb the tower, take the stairs and take the elevator, and there are two corresponding tickets. For Chu Chen, it doesn't matter if he has either way, and there are too many people in the right line, and it is faster to take the stairs. However, considering Wu Ke's body, he still decided to take the elevator up.

However, Wu Ke did not agree, she provided a way, first chose to walk along the steps to the second floor viewing platform, and then take the elevator to the highest viewing platform, which not only saved the time in line, but also saved a few yuan and euros. And Wu Ke also said that she had learned from Mina that the scenery from the viewing platform on the second floor was actually more beautiful.

Chu Chen took Wu Ke, who was a little out of breath, and walked up to the second-floor viewing platform, where you can see the best view of downtown Paris at a glance.

I saw the pale yellow Arc de Triomphe tower, the Louvre in the green shade, the white SacrΓ©-Coeur church in Montmartre, the gold-roofed Napoleon Tomb, the modern new Arc de Triomphe, and the meandering Seine River, all of which were clearly visible and very spectacular, and also made Chu Chen and Wu Ke, who had just been a little angry, look relaxed and happy.

Although both of them were a little unsatisfied, considering the time, they still lined up to take the elevator to the viewing platform that was ready to go to the top floor.

When they reached the highest observation deck 274 meters above the ground, they saw that Paris seemed to be a huge map at their feet. The noisy city was instantly quiet, the high-rise buildings were like building blocks, and the streets and alleys became countless lines of different widths and narrows, and the whole person felt ethereal.

Paris in April is still a little cold, especially standing on the tallest building in Paris, blowing a cool breeze, Wu Ke immediately couldn't stand it. So, she could only clean up her reluctant mood, and took the elevator with Chu Chen to the restaurant on the first floor and had a delicious lunch.

After coming down from the Eiffel Tower, the two went to visit the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral and other famous attractions in Paris. When it was time for dinner, the two came to the LEscargot Montorgueil restaurant that Wu Ke had never forgotten.

For Chinese people, many people do not have the habit of eating snails, but for Westerners, snails have been used as human food in prehistoric times.

In ancient Rome, snails were first fattened in milk before cooking, and France inherited this cooking method, making this dish one of the more iconic foods in French cuisine.

The French love of snails is very much in line with their dietary preferences, and they are also big fans of frog legs, as Baudelaire said: "Beauty is always weird." ”

As soon as they entered the lobby, the two were struck by the restaurant's dΓ©cor, with black and white tiled floors, fine wooden wainscoting, crystal chandeliers and antique furniture from the 30s, as well as bar music playing in the restaurant.

As the waiter arrived at the table that had been booked a long time ago, the two didn't say any nonsense, picked up the menu and began to order.

This century-old snail restaurant serves traditional French cuisine, most famously, as the name suggests: Snails! The restaurant's menu will change constantly, but neither will their traditional signature dishes. In addition, the cute snail logo on the dinner plate is also a reminder to the guests at all times: the snails we cook are good

Since they came to eat snails, the dishes they ordered were also related to snails, such as traditional parsley butter snails, curry-flavored snails, roquefort cheese-flavored snails, and truffle snails.

To say, the dishes in this restaurant are very large, and if you were someone else, you would definitely not be able to finish ordering so many dishes, but with Chu Chen, who is considered a big stomach, Wu Ke can safely and boldly order all the dishes she wants to eat...... (To be continued......)
