Journey Notes, French B&B (M)

If you come to France one day,

If you want to have a good time, you don't have to choose Paris, Marseille or Lyon, forget the cityscape of the old Gothic buildings and forget the glitz and glamour of the crowds.

You have a very different path to choose from.

Because most of the young population is moving to more developed cities, fewer and fewer people stay in remote villages, and the extremely low population causes extremely slow or even stagnant development.

But in contrast, it is also a more natural environment and lower housing prices.

Under the government's policy, more people from other places are attracted to settle here, and homestays are opened to inject vitality into these idyllic villages so that they will not slowly die out.

In the southeast of France, near a rural village near Geneva,

Maybe it's because on the way to Switzerland, the size of a few thousand people is not too big, but it is not small.

The small houses with triangular roofs, many of which are painted bright golden, have flower pots at the door, and there are few signs of modernity, simple and clear roads, and standing on the hillside you can see neat farmland and flower beds.

It took about half an hour to find the village where they had booked a homestay for one night and a special dinner, jumped out of the Humvee, stretched out and sat in the car for a day.

In the splendor of the sunset on the horizon, I took a deep breath of fresh and smelly air, and looked at the warm village in front of me in the afterglow of the sunset, which had a beauty that was diametrically opposed to Paris.

"Eh~~ Hulu, you chose a good place."

"Hmph, that's still going to be said."

Slightly surprised, I had to admit that my senior sister was capable in this regard, and just raised her eyebrows and praised,

Fang Ran immediately saw Tang Bing's little tail cocked and hummed proudly.

"This kind of place, the four of us go in together is too easy to remember, the matter of contact registration is left to you, we will park the car and meet you for a while."

didn't get out of the car with the two, Osfiya didn't open his mouth carelessly in the driver's seat, and he was also still in the car, and Kerim also looked at them and chuckled:

"Then Fang Ran, Tang Bing, I'm sorry for you."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Knowing how eye-catching it would be in such a small village, with the appearance of Osfiya and Krim, Fang Ran took on the task with great confidence.

Just looking at him patting his chest, Tang Bing on the side complained silently:

"Senior, where did you get your confidence as a foreigner who doesn't know a word of French..."

"Rurusse (expressionless)."

There were no twists and turns at all, in the countryside where it only took less than an hour to walk from one end to the other, Fang Ran and Tang Bing directly found the homestay they booked on the hillside.

This is probably the best location in the whole village, two large houses connected together, with well-tended gardens around the yards,

The owners of the house are a very kind old couple, who came from Germany to settle down here to retire, obviously do not care about the quality of business, just find something to do in their spare time, and then run another idle house into a small homestay.

Standing on the hillside and watching the sunset over the village, the breeze blowing the ends of the hair, the task is about to be completed, and the mood is incredibly relaxed and happy at this moment.

"Are you all sure?"

Looking at Tang Bing's very attractive appearance to the old man, and her super social skills negotiated the accommodation, Fang Ran saw that she was waving her hand happily with others at the end and asked curiously:

"And the gourd, what are you talking to others, happy like a flower."

"Senior, let me tell you, that old couple is super nice! Not only will we be prepared for dinner, but the ingredients in the kitchen can also be used freely! ”

Hearing Fang Ran ask out loud, Tang Bing immediately said to him excitedly and happily, and then put his hands on his face and smirked embarrassedly:

"And just now people said, 'What a beautiful and cheerful foreign girl', eh, hehe~"

"No, I think that's just a polite remark."

"Senior, you shut up (expressionless)."

Facing the spacious garden, the slightly renovated living room has a row of glass doors, and the open view allows people to look into the distance from the inside.

And in the center of the courtyard surrounded by flower beds and pots, there is a large wooden table that looks like a tree trunk cut in half.

Although it is not as good as the business hotel where a few people lived in the 7th arrondissement of Paris before, the small B&B reveals everywhere,

- Love life.

"Beautiful place, it looks like there is a very caring owner."

Following Osfiya in an unobtrusive direction, Krim glanced at the homestay, the sight of the river flowing in the distance below the hillside, and chuckled,

"With more than three hours left, what's next?"

"Ahh

Asked by Osfia's blue eyes, Fang Ran didn't know how to arrange the elongated voice for a while, but Tang Bing on the side excitedly proposed:

"Cooking! Cooking! Let's do something ourselves! ”

Prepare dinner ....

Seeing her look of a mental change of hair, the three of them remembered that according to the normal situation, it was already time for dinner.

It's just that when she mentioned this, Osfiya's blue eyes flickered slightly, and Kerim smiled a little helplessly:

"I'm embarrassed to say that, but if it's just a sandwich, I'll do it."

And perfectly exert his excess observation power in superfluous places, and instantly discovered the fact that the former aristocratic lady who lives high, and the super genius who estimates that the time is spent on scientific research and experiments, can't cook.

Fang Ran hooked the corners of his mouth, stiffened his chest, and looked at him when Tang Bing seemed to have found that Osfiya and Kerim couldn't cook.

made a sound and finally won, and the confident smile that belonged to the strong man:

"I'll fry ham sausages."

“(╬°Д°)?? Shut up! Senior, you are a waste of wood! ”

In just a few days of getting along, I have discovered that Fang Ran is hopelessly useless in some places, and at the same time, he also has a mysterious self-confidence.

Tang Bing felt that he was still holding on to hope, and he looked at him as a fool.

Given that there are four people in the team, two of them are completely living in the upper class who don't need to cook their own meals at all, so the division of labor to prepare dinner at the end,

It also became Tang Bing (and a basically useless Fang Ran) who was in charge of cooking, and Osfiya and Kerim were in charge of shopping.

"Hulu! What do we do first!? ”

In the kitchen, looking at a lot of vegetables and ingredients in the refrigerator, Fang Ran's eyes were already lit up with a big meal.

Tied the apron, tied the ponytail again, the movements were skillful and simple, and the figure of the girl who stood in the kitchen was a little brighter for some reason, and couldn't help but be speechless and delicate when she heard him say this:

"Senior, you can only fry ham and sausages, don't ask about this kind of key decision, wash the dishes first."

"Hmph, wash vegetables, someone like me who once manipulated the water element to set off the entire ocean..."

"Don't hit the second, wash it quickly."

"Oh."

...

Lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, tomatoes and a few cherries, in strict accordance with the instructions of his schoolgirl, holding a pile of ingredients in the metal bowl, gently humming the old melody to seriously wash vegetables.

On the other side, he held a kitchen knife, and his voice was crisp and continuous on the cutting board to cut all kinds of meat and vegetables, and his movements showed quite good cooking skills.

In between skillfully igniting and pouring oil, Tang Bing couldn't help but sneak a peek at Fang Ran beside him, and found that he was working himself, and there was always a feeling of living together, and his face was slightly red.

"Eh.... Senior, I didn't expect you to work hard...."

I don't know why my social power is out of order at this time, Tang Bing kept glancing at it a few times, and finally I don't know why I changed it to start with this kind of ridicule topic,

didn't care too much about it, Fang Ran just rolled his eyes as a matter of course:

"Otherwise, gourd, do you think I should be lazy..."

"No... I just thought senior, you must be disappointed that you couldn't go shopping with Osfia..."

Pouring the cut ingredients into the pot, Tang Bing muttered and turned his head, and secretly muttered while stirring:

"After all, a little boy like you, senior, must want to be alone with that kind of foreign beauty, and then in a beautiful village in France, when no one is paying attention, something happens like hitting with a ball..."

Fang Ran silently took out the paper fan.

"Hey! Senior, what are you trying to do with that thing! ”

At the moment when he took out the gourd treasure, Tang Bing, who was still muttering quietly a second, immediately jumped to the side vigilantly with his head in his hands.

Speechlessly, looking at a gourd who was inattentive and wanted to drive secretly, Fang Ran silently stared at her for three seconds.

Then he sighed very vicissitudes, as if he was lamenting that life was only as he first saw the sky:

"Hulu, you know, I feel more and more now that you're a prickly..."

Hearing Fang Ran describe himself like this, Tang Bing, who was still holding his head and did not relax his vigilance, took his words and blinked happily and guessed:

"Rose?"

"No, cucumber."

(?? _?? Tang Bing: "......"

Silently picking up a cucumber from the dish he had washed, Tang Bing stared at Fang Ran expressionlessly and opened his mouth without emotion:

"Senior, I'll give you three seconds to say an explanation that I won't shoot you to death."

"It's just looking at the water, but it's actually dirty...."

"Yellow-melon-crushed-skull-kill!"
