Chapter 348: The Great Library
Qian Chen earned 10,000 points from Kohei Chuangzhen through this private duel. Qian Chen decided to go to the library during the day to see what good literature he could borrow.
If you make money, you have to spend it, otherwise it's just a pile of waste paper.
Qian Chen's analogy is very appropriate.
After breakfast, Qian Chen was about to go out, but he was stopped by his senior sister.
"Senior, please wait."
"What's the matter? Vanessa. ”
Qian Chen said suspiciously.
Vanessa pursed her lips and said with a very calm expression.
"My father will be visiting today, so I may not be able to accompany my seniors in the afternoon"
"Someone from your house is coming to see you? That's a good thing! Just go ahead, I'll be fine alone! ”
Qian Chen smiled slightly to show understanding.
When her father visited, it was logical that her mood would change somewhat, but Vanessa didn't seem very excited or excited, as if it was just an unrelated person.
But Qian Chen didn't care.
First, Vanessa was originally very quiet and dignified.
At least Qian Chen had never seen too exaggerated and obvious expressions such as shock, surprise, and anger on her face.
It's just that Qian Chen sometimes sighs that Vanessa seems to be a little too quiet.
Second, Qian Chen speculated that Vanessa and her father may not have a good relationship.
This was common in France, especially among aristocratic families.
Many parents are a combination of interests, and there is not much affection in the first place, and this indifferent husband and wife relationship will undoubtedly affect the next generation.
In addition, Vanessa is a daughter again, and in many families, daughters are often cultivated as bargaining chips for marriage.
It's normal that there isn't much affection between father and daughter.
Just look at Sophia, in order to avoid the family using her as a marriage tool, she did not hesitate to hide in the academy at the risk of being expelled from the family.
The entire French Empire is like this, Qian Chen is just a small special chef, and he can't shake this behemoth.
The only thing he could do was be nice to Vanessa.
"If there's anything to remember to tell me."
Qian Chen smiled gently, reached out and stroked the top of Vanessa's head.
Because Vanessa has her own aura of the eldest lady, Qian Chen has hardly done this to her.
Vanessa's delicate little face suddenly showed an expression of extreme consternation.
But soon her expression softened, and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was enjoying Qian Chen's touch.
When Qian Chen went out, Vanessa stood at the door and looked at his back, her eyes full of attachment
The large library of the college is shared by the four branches of the entire college, and Dean Helena is very good at cheating funds, cough cough! He is good at negotiating with relevant departments to obtain financial assistance.
(Dean Helena, who was working on documents in the office, accidentally sneezed again, why does she keep saying again?) )
In short, because of the abundant funds, the construction of the large library is splendid.
It's more of a large museum than a library.
The appearance is imitation of the Greek temple architectural style, through the four or five stories high, ten people hugging the huge stone pillar, enter it, you will immediately find that there is a hole inside.
And most importantly, the library is divided into two parts: above ground and underground.
The above-ground part is an open public information area with a total of six floors.
However, compared with ordinary libraries, the seats here are all leather sofas, the central air conditioning controls the temperature in the library at 20° and the humidity is controlled at about 50% 24 hours a day, and there are a large number of maids to provide one-on-one service for the college.
The above-ground area is free and open, and in the underground part, there are all kinds of unique books and original first drafts, including but not limited to the manuscripts of French chefs of the past generations, which contain unpublished recipes, cooking secrets, private records, etc., which are extremely valuable.
In addition to the difference in the value of the information, the browsing patterns of the two regions are also different.
On the ground part, you just need to sit comfortably on the sofa, then pick up the tablet in the library, search for the books you want on it, and naturally a maid will find the books and deliver them to you.
As for the underground part.
Qian Chen came to an extravagant elevator, with a door painted in gold, a door frame covered with various reliefs, and two greeters in white uniforms guarding it.
After a simple identity verification, under the envious gaze of the other students, Qian Chen walked into the elevator.
The elevator went down and quickly reached the destination.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a long hallway with no cover.
Qian Chen walked on this corridor, but he felt uncomfortable.
Because on the ceiling of this corridor, there is a camera almost every few meters, and it is also the kind of military-grade goods with infrared night vision and life detection.
This made Qian Chen, who likes to use cameras to defend his house, feel uncomfortable, because he found out
'It's completely compared, and when you settle down in the future, do you want to just find someone in a different dimension restaurant to customize a magic-type camera?' ’
Along the way, Qian couldn't grasp the point, and someone came to a huge, heavy iron door.
Brush the student's bracelet, iris recognition, and after many inspections, the iron door slowly opened.
I didn't see a single book in it, but there were a few seats and a few computers.
Qian Chen sat in front of a computer with ease and began to search on it.
Soon, he found a book he was interested in.
I saw the screen display:
《Techniques for using cream》
Published: 1788
Author: Marie Antoinette (Dragon Chef)
Introduction: Explains in detail the techniques and precautions for using cream in French cuisine. The information is more desserts, and 1 dessert recipe is included.
Price: 20,000 House Points.
Viewing time: 5 days.
The moment he saw this price, Qian Chen couldn't help but gasp, this price was almost comparable to a fragment of the Heavenly King's recipe.
However, the prices of these documents are determined by the dean of the college, the four deans and some senior teachers in the college after consultation, and theoretically there is no flashy literature.
This exorbitant price shows that the book is worth the value.
Qian Chen looked at the academy points displayed on the bracelet: 24396 points.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and operated directly on the computer to redeem the reading time.
In an instant, Qian Chen's points obtained by shearing sheep were only 4,396 points.
With such a large sum of points, it takes a long time to save it, and Qian Chen only hopes that it will be worth the money.
At this time, an electronic door next to it opens automatically.
It was not the first time Qian Chen had come, he was no longer surprised, and immediately walked into the door.
Then follow the light and lead to a room.
When Qian Chen walked into the room, the door of the room immediately closed, separating the inside and outside.
