Chapter Twenty-Five: Holidays
When he saw the Sagrada Familia for the first time, Hu Xuefei felt like he had gone to Disney's fairy tale castle, if it weren't for the construction crane on one side, Hu Xuefei really thought he was in the wrong place.
The Sagrada Familia, also known as the Sagrada Familia, is a magnificent Catholic church with a design inspired by nature such as caves, mountains, flowers and animals. Gaudí once said, "The straight line belongs to man, and the curve belongs to God." "The design of the Sagrada Familia is completely devoid of straight lines and planes, but is composed of spirals, cones, hyperbolas, and parabolas to form a sacred building full of rhythm and movement. A building of God, it is the masterpiece of the Spanish architect Antonio Gaudí. Located in the heart of Barcelona in the Catalonia region of Spain, it was built in 1884 and is still under construction. ”
Hu Xuefei turned into a tourist, rubbing the explanation of the tour guide on the side, and sighed at the majesty of this church.
"View of the Sagrada Familia. According to Gaudí's design, the three sides of the church symbolize the birth, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, and Gaudí designed three grand main entrances for the church's sanctuary, each with four minarets above each door, and the 12 towers represent the 12 disciples of Jesus. There are also 4 towers clustered together with a central minaret, symbolizing the 4 Evangelists and Christ Himself. Only one of the three gates has been completed so far. ”
Hu Xuefei took out his mobile phone and stood in one place, ready to take a selfie for himself. The mobile phone camera moves upwards to fully integrate the nativity statue into the mobile phone lens, but it does not capture Hu Xuefei's portrait.
Ouch, the lack of a selfie stick for taking pictures is uncomfortable.
Just like every selfie fan, facing your favorite environment, but missing a selfie stick is like a knife.
Hu Xuefei looked around, trying to choose a tourist to help Hu Xuefei take a photo with the sculpture. At this time, a short-haired girl happened to be approaching, still with a yellow face. Hu Xuefei was overjoyed, and subconsciously regarded this girl as a hometowner.
"Hey, hello, can you take a picture for me?" Hu Xuefei stepped forward to greet the short-haired girl who was about to walk past Hu Xuefei. The standard East Asian female figure of the girl, with a small body and a winter dress, looks a little bloated.
The short-haired girl looked at Hu Xuefei in surprise, a pair of bright eyes looked at Hu Xuefei with a hint of horror, and opened her mouth to say a few words that Hu Xuefei didn't understand.
As soon as Hu Xuefei heard the short-haired girl speak, she immediately realized that she subconsciously regarded her as a native of her hometown and talked in Mandarin, but she didn't expect that this girl was actually a Korean.
Hu Xuefei understood that the other party couldn't understand Mandarin, and he didn't know whether he understood Spanish or English, so he said sorry twice in Spanish and English, and explained his intention at the same time.
Although the frightened short-haired girl told Hu Xuefei on her face that she was going to escape, Hu Xuefei's explanation in Spanish and English made her stabilize her heart.
"Ah, yes." The short-haired girl timidly said a word of Spanish, and then motioned to Hu Xuefei to give her the phone.
Hu Xuefei was overjoyed, and she didn't worry about whether the girl would snatch her phone and run away, anyway, it was still daytime, and there were many people, so you could catch it by shouting casually. Hu Xuefei handed the phone to the short-haired girl, then ran under the sculpture, posed, and waited for the short-haired girl's instructions.
The flashing off light flashed twice, which made Hu Xuefei a little dazzling, and said secretly in her heart: "I'll go, I forgot to turn off the flashing light, the effect of the shot will definitely not be good, and I will let her take another picture later." ”
The short-haired girl put down her phone and beckoned Hu Xue to fly over. As soon as Hu Xuefei saw that the photo was finished, he planned to see the photo effect first, and then see if he wanted to take another one.
Hu Xuefei took the mobile phone handed by the short-haired girl, looked at the two photos she had just taken, and felt okay, but her eyes were blinded by flashing, and her expression was very unnatural.
Hu Xuefei pouted dissatisfied, and planned to let the short-haired girl take another picture.
Hu Xuefei raised her head and was about to ask the short-haired girl in front of her to take another picture, but found that the short-haired girl had long since disappeared.
Aha? Why did you run away?
Hu Xuefei was puzzled and looked around for the short-haired girl just now, but she was not found again, and it was obvious that the short-haired girl left when Hu Xuefei looked at the photo just now.
Hu Xuefei touched his face and muttered secretly: "Is he so scary?" It shouldn't be, it's okay. ”
While pondering, he found another tourist to take a group photo again, and Hu Xuefei walked into the cathedral.
Slowly approaching the cathedral, Hu Xuefei, who had never seen a Western-style cathedral, was deeply shocked by the decoration in the Sagrada Familia. Magnificent, magnificent, beautiful, it's simply a production from heaven. This was the first impression that the Sagrada Familia left on Hu Xuefei.
The astonishing height of the floor, the vault of the nave is 45 meters high, the stained glass on both sides and the sunlight give visitors a sense of fantasy, the geometric details with a sense of design, and the light and shadow effects of the interior of the Sagrada Familia, which simply make Hu Xuefei feel like he is in paradise.
Hu Xuefei went around and around, taking photos all the way, since he was here to relax, then enjoy it. A single person, coming to this kind of tourist holy land, in addition to taking photos to commemorate, Hu Xuefei doesn't know what else to do, and he can also feel the weight of history.
After walking for almost one and a half hours, the lunch that I had just eaten at noon disappeared without a trace, and my stomach began to protest against Hu Xuefei.
Hu Xuefei touched his stomach, looked at his phone, and found that it was already past 5 o'clock, but he didn't expect that he had walked for so long unconsciously, as if there was a Sagrada Square nearby, go there and eat something.
Hu Xuefei walked out of the cathedral, walked to a cake stall, bought a flatbread to fill his stomach first, and then walked slowly in the direction of the square.
Hu Xuefei walked on the road, and from time to time he could see shops selling such small souvenirs. Hu Xuefei walked to a shop at random, and the person who watched the store was a young man, and when he saw a customer coming, he immediately got up from a simple small chair and smiled: "Sir, are you here to buy souvenirs?" We have all kinds of souvenirs in our shop, such as castanets, carved folding fans that can be given to female friends, and ......"
The young man kept introducing the products of his store to Hu Xuefei, and Hu Xuefei also listened with interest, without interrupting, just curious.
"I wonder which one Mr. prefers?" Maybe it was because he felt that his mouth was dry, and the boy finally stopped his introduction.
Hu Xuefei picked up a wallet with a picture of the main entrance of the cathedral and turned it back and forth in his hand to observe.
"Hey, sir, you have such an eye, this is the hottest leather product for men in our store." When the young man saw Hu Xuefei pick up one of the products, he immediately praised Hu Xuefei.
Hu Xuefei sneered when she heard this, and was amused by such a familiar and slightly immature sales pitch.
"How much does this cost?"
"This is 30 euros." The young man couldn't eat Hu Xuefei's heart, and saw that Hu Xuefei was just a person and didn't bring a partner, so he set up a high price from the beginning.
"Huh? What? Hu Xuefei thought that he had heard it wrong, a very ordinary, just a wallet with a portrait of the Sagrada Familia making so much money?
"We have 30 euros for this kind of wallet, but I, Mr. Delphi, am kind enough to give you a price reduction of 25 euros." The young man began to be a little timid, and when he heard Hu Xuefei's tone rise, he was afraid that this business would be yellow again, so he immediately lowered the price. Hehehe, Hu Xuefei laughed in his heart, just before Hu Xuefei came, he caught this shop as the one with the fewest merchants in the neighborhood, quiet and didn't waste time, so he came over, and now it seems that the young man doesn't want to lose his guest.
"20 euros, that's the price." 20 euros for soft sister coins are almost 200 yuan, it can be said that Hu Xuefei gave the highest price in his heart.
"Although 20 euros is no longer beneficial, but if Mr. likes it, it will be 20 euros." The young man pretended to have blood in his heart and sold it to Hu Xuefei in pain.
Hu Xuefei looked at the pretentious teenager, couldn't help laughing, took out 20 euros from his wallet, and handed it to the teenager.
After the young man took it, he hurriedly thanked him.
Hu Xuefei put away her wallet, left the store, and continued to walk towards the Holy Family Square.
