Chapter 246: Arrival in Korea

At 10:35 a.m. on Sunday, Li Mudi took off from Turin Caselle Airport on time on Air France flight AF1103 and arrived at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport an hour and a half later. After an hour-long layover, transfer to Air France flight AF264 for a direct flight to Kimchi Country Incheon Airport, counting the time difference of 8 hours in between (winter time is still in place in Europe, and daylight saving time will not be restored until next weekend), arriving there should be around 8:10 a.m. local time on Monday, and the whole journey takes 13 and a half hours.

The ticket for this long-distance journey costs 1,200 euros, which is still economy class, and the first class is an exaggerated 2,500 euros, which is definitely a money grab. But the Turin coach had to endure the pain of being slaughtered by others, in order to be able to be a little more comfortable in more than half a day, so as not to become a soft-footed shrimp when he got off the plane, he had to spend money and suffer less.

Compared with domestic flights, international flights are the most appreciated by the Chinese people, that is, after the plane enters the stratosphere, you can use electronic devices at will, while the airlines of the Celestial Empire are restricted by the terms issued by ZF, strictly prohibiting the use of all electronic devices that produce signals, even mobile phones with flight mode turned on, I really want to greet the ancestors of the officials who formulated this rule.

Li Mudi divided the 12 hours of his journey from Paris into three parts, the first five or six hours were spent listening to songs and watching movies, and then he began to rest after dinner. Even though it's hard to get a good night's sleep on a plane, you still have to try it out to get rid of jet lag. Get up when you are almost two hours away from your destination and pass the rest of the time by passing the way. And this plan was implemented relatively smoothly without interference, except for the poor sleep quality, the rest was not bad.

Although the journey was difficult, I finally arrived at Incheon safely, and after getting off the plane, the Turin coach immediately used his mobile phone to contact the owner of the car that was chartered through Lin Yun'er's help. Soon, this man in his early twenties named Cui Zhexu came to Li Mudi's side.

After helping to put the three large suitcases in place, Choi Xiaoge began to take Li Mudi out of the airport and to Seoul first, where the latter had to send some gifts for Lim Yoona and her family to the girls' generation dormitory, saving them from having to carry such heavy things back and forth. On the way, the two of them had an exchange, and the Turin coach learned that Cui Zhexu had just returned from the army, and he would return to the university for more than ten days before he could resume classes, and he took advantage of the holidays to earn some pocket money for himself. Working in an entertainment company and being very familiar with the members of Girls' Generation, Lin Yun'er asked her agent to arrange a car this time It was a very private matter, so she found him who had a closer relationship with the company.

The young man didn't know if he didn't like gossip by nature, or if he was carefully told by his brother-in-law, although he knew Li Mudi's identity, he didn't ask any questions related to Lin Li Lian, but just said a lot of things like he liked football very much and was proud of Li Mudi's outstanding performance on behalf of Asian football, which made the Torino coach feel very comfortable.

And Li Mudi, who regarded the other party as a contact with the Korean speaking object, also frequently opened his mouth to communicate with him, and asked Cui Zhexu about his personal situation in more than an hour before arriving at the Girls' Generation dormitory. The young man is 25 years old, his parents are ordinary clerks, and his sister is a full-time wife who takes care of the children and does housework at home. He himself is a junior at Yonsei University, and he had a girlfriend who broke up after he joined the army. Because of good English, plus a little luck to help, after the recruit training, he was sent to serve in the residence of the US military stationed in South Korea, although the treatment is no different from that of ordinary big-headed soldiers (the monthly allowance is 3000 kimchi coins, about less than 180 for soft girls, so miserable), but after all, the environment and welfare are much better, so the two-year military service career is quite smooth, not as hard as those who are assigned to the commando team or even the defense 38th line team.

When he heard about their country's military service system, Li Mudi couldn't help but think of Wanwan's military service, the first time he knew about it was through the disbandment of the Little Tigers when he was young, and he didn't understand the meaning of it at that time, and he didn't know who they had to guard against until he grew up. However, in his opinion, such measures are meaningless, and without foreign intervention, judging from the current military strength of Kimchi Country and Wanwan, will they be able to resist the third day in the face of the all-out attack of their "enemy"? Just kidding, don't be too easy to unify the force! Engaging in such a half-baked military service system is a pure waste of time.

Before I knew it, the car had already driven into the community, and Sunny, who had received the notice of the Turin coach in advance, saw two people walking out of the unit door with suitcases through the window, and then unlocked the door and let the two men walk into the building. When I got out of the elevator, I saw Lee Soon-gyu guarding the door of the house, and the other members of the young age had their own things at this time, and they were either working or going home, and only "President Lee (Sunny's nickname)" was there alone.

Li Mudi and her are old acquaintances, and before Yuna became his girlfriend by accident, Xiao Sun had always been the closest friend to him when he was young. After putting the box into Lin Yun'er's room, the two sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted.

What" Oba quickly confessed, when he sent us flowers in the United States, was he planning to chase us Yun'er? And I haven't heard of your actions before, why did you take him down so quickly? Let's talk about what's going on. "It's so touching that Oba has traveled thousands of miles to visit our Yun'er, do you think she will let you hehehehehehehe and "Isn't Oba famous in Asian football?" Why wasn't I recognized when I was at the airport? You must know that it is definitely big news that you came to visit Ban Yun'er, and those paparazzi will easily miss it? It's incredible. It made Li Mudi sweat, thinking that this sister-in-law is really terrible, Yun'er's own sister won't be like this!

Fortunately, Sunny just wanted to make a joke, or rather, he didn't give Moodioba too much face in front of outsiders, and let the other party go. In addition, the time is also relatively tight, and it is not close to the current filming location of the TV crew from Seoul, so you have to hurry up to arrive at the destination before noon, so the two friends who have been in contact with the Internet but are not easy to meet said goodbye after briefly reminiscing and agreeing to have time to reunite in the future. The Turin coach took Cui Zhexu downstairs together, and after getting in the car, he called up the navigation and started the next part of the journey.

As mentioned before, the TV series in which Lin Yuna participated is called "The King is in Love", which adopts the mode of filming first and then broadcasting, and all pre-production used by the Celestial Empire, so since the crew was officially assembled in November last year, those cast and crew have been carrying out arduous filming, during which they only had holidays during the two periods of Christmas, New Year's Day and Spring Festival. The general content of this play, Li Mudi found out some from Yun'er when she went to Italy, and later he searched for some relevant information on the Internet in his free time, and felt that his girlfriend was likely to fall into the pit again this time.

Based on the eponymous work by Kimchi writer Jin Yiling, "The King is in Love" is based on the brutal power struggle between Wang Zhang, who lived in the Celestial Dynasty for most of his life during the Yuan Dynasty (late 13th century and early 14th century) and was later given the nickname King Chungxuan of Goryeo, and his father, King Chungyeol of Goryeo. However, this kind of historical drama that tests the acting skills of the actors and the ability of the choreographer and director, how could it be filmed well by MBC TV in Kimchi, so the screenwriter made big (Mo) knife (name) and broad (its) axe (wonderful) changes to the original work, minimizing the power struggle scenes in the original story, and making the bloody love triangle love story between the three protagonists the main line of the series. Maybe good looks are the main reason why idols like Ren Shiwan, Lin Yuna and Hong Zongxuan can get the opportunity to star, the Turin coach can't help but guess like this.

Kimchi Country does not have large-scale film and television bases such as Hengdian, Shangle, and Xiangshan, and this costume drama is so vulgar that it has no friends, but the producer's confidence and determination are not small, and a lot of money has been invested in it in order to make a masterpiece. Therefore, the filming environment is extremely important, according to Lim Yoona previously revealed, the crew will shoot in Incheon, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, Chungcheongbuk-do, Chungcheongnam-do, Jeollabuk-do and Jeju Island, almost all over the important areas of Kimchi Country. At the moment, Li Mudi is driving to Cheongju, the capital of North Chungcheong Province, about 130 kilometers southeast of the capital, Seoul, where his girlfriend is working nervously.

Cheongju City (it seems that there are cities or cities with this name in the three countries every day in history, and I don't know which one is the original and which one is plagiarized), with gentle terrain and abundant water and soil resources, is one of the first gathering places for people living on the Korean Peninsula, and has been a city in the strict sense for more than 1,000 years. Cheongju University in the city was the first new undergraduate university to be established by the new government after the liberation of Kimchi from the Japanese, and many other universities were established here one after another, giving the area a strong academic atmosphere.

However, it seems that only a few cities in Seoul, Incheon, Gwangju and Jeonju are still somewhat well-known in the world, and the name of Cheongju City was rarely known by foreign people before, but in recent years, there have been two events that have made many people in the Celestial Empire know about it, but they are all negative impressions.

The first incident occurred in the 70s of the last century, when a Kimchi Country administrator working at the National Library of France stumbled upon a Buddhist scripture "Jikji" printed from a movable metal type book, and he recommended the book to a book fair at the time, which was printed in 1377, the third year of the reign of King Goryeo, and made the book an overnight success. After that, the Kimchi Kingdom ZF had negotiated with the French to withdraw this scripture on the wrong way, but it was refused, and it seemed that the shameless ones still couldn't do the robbers.

However, the people of Kimchi will naturally not let go of this good opportunity to publicize that they have created the whole world, and the whole country will promote that the stick is the first person in the world to invent and use metal printing, and it has even been recognized by the World Cultural Heritage Organization!

In 1992, Cheongju City built the Cheongju Museum of Ancient Printing for Jikji, and named the city's streets and bridges "Jikji-ro" and "Jikji-Bridge", making the oldest metal-printed publication ever discovered by mankind the city's signboard. And Kimchi Nation even compiled this book and invention into their primary school textbooks to brainwash their children into believing that their country had indeed "invented" something great and revolutionized the world.

After that, there were many conflicts between the Celestial Empire tourists and the local tour guide who was in charge of introducing metal printing when they visited Cheongju, because some kimchi people even had the shame to remove the word "metal" or ignore it, and bluntly said that they were the inventors of movable type printing, which was really shameless, which also made the Celestial Empire people leave a deep impression on the city for the first time.

The second event is about the origin of rice, which was previously recognized by the world as the origin of rice in Hunan Province of the Celestial Empire, around the ninth millennium BC. However, in October 2003, the British BBC TV produced a popular science program, claiming that archaeologists had found special rice varieties in Cheongwon County, Cheongju, a kimchi country, in 1998 and 2001. After scientific experiments, it was concluded that their age was between 13,000 and 15,000 years ago, which is at least 4,000 years earlier than the original record of our Celestial Empire, and the name of the origin of rice was robbed. At that time, this news was constantly complained by netizens in the two countries, saying that "I have long known that everything in this world belongs to the Kimchi Country".

So Li Mudi doesn't have a good impression of this city, but he has to go there in person today, which can prove that he really loves Lin Yun'er!

When the car drove out of Seoul city and stepped on the highway, Li Mudi took out his mobile phone and began to check the Internet to check the current round of Serie A matches that had ended, and the result was not much different from his previous guess, Atalanta and Fiorentina both defeated their respective opponents and took all three points, only Lazio, who had a good situation before, was forced to 0-0 by the middle and lower teams Cagliari away from home, and the points gap was narrowed by the opponent behind him.

After 29 league games, the top three teams are in the top three, while the race for fourth to ninth place in the Europa League has become even more intense. The Blue Eagles temporarily lead with 55 points, Atalanta and Inter Milan are close behind them by one point, Torino with 53 points and AC Milan with 52 points are naturally not giving an inch, and even the Purple Lily with 48 points is not completely out of chance. The rest of the game is crucial, and whoever makes fewer mistakes is likely to be rewarded handsomely, and the winner and loser will have to look forward to fighting again next year.
