Chapter 497: Celebration Banquet

For people who are not accustomed to this way of socializing, this kind of drinking party is a torturous activity, you can't eat openly, you can't drink to your heart's content, you have to wear a shirt and dress with a stiff collar, you have to laugh when you meet someone, you have to nod whether you understand it or not, and you have to praise people for their taste, no matter how ugly the other party is.

Wang Jian was defeated early, took off his coat and ran behind the bar to hide, chatting with the female bartender quite happily. Hong Tao has always insisted, because he is the captain of the fishing team, and he has won two more awards, and he must be with Marx as a topic of conversation for them.

However, Hong Tao was not without gains, and he really found 2 good-looking girls at the reception, which seemed to be the children of the neighbors in the neighborhood, and they should be over 20 years old. One has brown hair and the other has blonde hair, especially the little girl with brown hair, not only has a good figure, but also has a big dimple on her face with a smile, and she also takes the initiative to make eye contact with Hong Tao.

After an hour, it was time for the ball, and when the band that Marx had specially invited played the dance music, Hong Tao pounced on the target he had been eyeing for a long time like a hungry wolf, and easily succeeded, and slipped into the dance floor with the girl with the charming dimple in his arms.

To Hong Tao's disappointment, the girl only danced two tunes with him before her parents called her away, and never showed up again, only to learn that she had a very shocking name: Lara Kerssenberg and she was a tennis player, and she didn't even have time to ask where she lived.

Although Hong Tao's affair was over before it began, Wang Jian seemed to have come to work suddenly, he and the female bartender actually hooked up together, not only did they chat behind the bar all night, but they also had to go out on a date the next day! The female bartender planned to take Wang Jian around downtown Hamburg when she wasn't at work.

"I warn you, this is not China, beware of people selling you!" Hong Tao is so depressed. Wang Jian can actually hook up with a little girl, why is he carrying it like this! Is there still a heavenly reason!

"I'm not a child, so you can't be jealous, right? Why don't you take you with me? Oh, you don't forget it! I'm leaving, don't wait for me to eat at noon! Early the next morning, Wang Jian got up and began to toss, almost tossing out all the clothes he brought, and finally picked out a linen casual suit, which Hong Tao brought back to him in Africa.

"Didn't you say that the king was gay? Gays and lesbians still go out on dates with girls? When Hong Tao watched Wang Jian walk out of the door of Marx's house with vigorous steps, Pan appeared behind him like a ghost.

“…… Or maybe love is great. No matter what kind of person you are, you can make a difference! Pan's question was very sharp, but Hong Tao only thought about it for 1 second and gave a satisfactory answer.

"Alright then, would you like to go out with me too?" Pan asked with a smile.

"Where? Why go? I don't want to go to the mall, I accompanied you to the mall when I was in Beijing, do you have to go to the mall when you get to Hamburg! As soon as Hong Tao saw Pan's expression, she raised her vigilance, which often meant that she was going to tease herself again.

"It's okay if you don't go shopping. Then when you go to Europe and travel to Europe, you don't care if you don't need to borrow anything, I won't borrow it! Pan really didn't feel embarrassed for Hong Tao, and walked to the garage by himself.

"Hey, I'll go, I'll go. I need to buy a backpack, I can't travel with a big suitcase! As soon as Hong Tao heard Pan's words, he remembered that he had to go to Europe for a poor trip, and he and Wang Jian didn't have this plan when they came. So I had very little luggage, and most of my clothes were fishing clothes, so I really had to buy some supplies.

Hong Tao felt that he had been deceived by Pan again. This Pan didn't plan to buy any travel supplies at all, he tried to look east and west, and the things he bought didn't have much to do with tourism. But he understood a little late, and since he was already on the thief ship, it was not so easy to get off.

However, Pan didn't go too far this time, and still helped Hong Tao choose a few clothes and pants, shoes and hats, gloves and other things with good quality and suitable price.

Wang Jian came back very late, almost stepping on the door of dinner, and the Germans had a very stubborn habit of arranging a plan no matter how big or small the matter was. For example, if you want to eat, it doesn't mean that you can eat at 6 o'clock if you want to, you can eat at 7 o'clock if you want to eat at 7 o'clock, almost every family has a fixed meal time, and the meal is held regularly every day, and the error has to be calculated in minutes.

In addition to eating, everything is like eating, and it must be fixed at a fixed time, so that many people take the same bus to work all their lives, go to the same place at the same time every day, once one of the links is delayed, then they don't have to think about the day, everything has to be rearranged, and it can even involve planning after a few days or ten days. So being late is a very intolerable vice in the eyes of the Germans, and it is not just an apology that can be forgiven.

"Brother Wang, junior brother looks at your heavenly court, the earth pavilion is round, and your face is full of peach blossoms! Tell me, where have you and your drinking buddy been today? Hong Tao looked at Wang Jian's dancing face and became angry.

"You know! After two days, we'll go back when she's rested! Wang Jian didn't care about Hong Tao's cynicism at all.

"Go to Mao, we will leave the day after tomorrow, or you stay and continue to be romantic for a few days, and Pan and I will go to Switzerland first and wait for you?" Hong Tao is so relieved, the Marx brothers will go to the UK tomorrow to prepare for the next fishing competition, Hong Tao can't go because he is not qualified to participate, so he can only go to Europe with Pan.

He had already discussed with Pan the approximate travel route, the first stop was Switzerland, then south into Italy, then west into Spain, and then from Spain to Belgium, through the Netherlands from Denmark to Scandinavia, and finally to Pan to his hometown Norway.

In this route, Austria and France are deliberately omitted by Hong Tao, France Hong Tao has been to the time of the competition, as for Paris, Marseille or something Hong Tao is not very interested, due to limited time, it is impossible to visit every city, or pick those places that have not been heard of much.

Austria is a country of art, ordinary life is similar to Germany, Hong Tao has no art cells at all, so he is not too interested in this country.

As for those countries in Eastern Europe, Hong Tao still wants to go and see, but they are not countries of the Schengen Agreement, and they need to re-visa to enter, which is too troublesome. The most infuriating are the two broken island countries of Britain and Ireland, which are EU countries, but they are special everywhere, and there is no collectivist spirit at all. You say you don't use the euro, forget it, don't even participate in the Schengen agreement, they are just two rat in the EU's pot of broth, it's really not a thing!

"Wang, you can ask your bartender to see if she has time, and we can go on a trip together." Pan rarely came forward to help Wang Jian solve the siege.

"Then I'll call her!" As soon as Wang Jian heard Pan's suggestion, his eyes immediately lit up, and he put down the napkin and ran out.

"She needs to go to work, alas, I'd better continue to be my light bulb!" A few minutes later, Wang Jian came back with his head drooping again.

"Light bulbs? What light bulbs? "Marx is old, but his ears are still quite smart.

"Ah, the king's nickname is the light bulb!" If Hong Tao could shoot bullets in his eyes, Wang Jian would definitely become a sieve at this time.

After another day's rest, Hong Tao, Wang Jian, and Pan embarked on the journey again, but this time they did not drive or buy any first-class tickets, but bought three tickets for ordinary cars and boarded the German high-speed train from Hamburg to Zurich.

For this trip around Europe, according to Pan's design, it should have been a poor trip, that is, only carrying a hiking bag, packing personal belongings, and then using the way of hitchhiking and walking, where to play, there is a youth hostel to live in a hostel, no youth hostel to spend the night, there is really no place to live to set up a tent. Pan said that this way can play more freely and interestingly. (To be continued......)
