Chapter 304: Fulfill the friendship of the landlord

Taking a taxi to the train station, Xiyue wore a pair of sunglasses, dressed casually but very brilliantly, frequently attracting Gu Pan's eyes, walking beside her, I was inexplicably a little proud.

Led by her car skills, we quickly got into the car, and soon after the car started, she put on her headphones and leisurely flipped through the magazines, as if she was enjoying herself.

On the other hand, my mobile phone is low on battery and I have nothing to do, so I want to steal Xiyue's headphones and listen to songs.

I couldn't help but glance at her, and she happened to raise her head and meet me through her sunglasses.

"What are you doing?"

Even through my sunglasses, I could feel her staring at me with that fierce look.

I smiled and said, "Borrow a headset and I'll listen to it, you're not righteous." ”

"Are you sure you want to listen?"

If there is something you want to listen to a headphone, I immediately took one off and stuffed it into my ear.

"&*%McMerka&@*&¥¥#叽里咕噜¥... %@! … &……”

It's not a harmonious garbled text, it's something my brain can't recognize when it hears the sound.

"What are you listening to?" I immediately took off my headphones and looked at her.

"Swahili, the only official language of Tanzania."

Me: "......"

Xiyue didn't bother with me, I found that her temper has been surprisingly good since she came to France, and her whole person has become gentle.

"If you're fine, I'll continue to study."

Looking at her appearance, I always felt as if there was something that I hadn't said, but I didn't know what it was, and then I felt a little upset.

In all the boredom, I forced myself to retract my thoughts, unwilling to let myself be immersed in cranky thoughts, and began to take a nap.

Before falling asleep, I always felt that I was gently leaning on Xiyue, but I didn't have the willpower to open my eyelids and change positions, so I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was dusk.

I was stunned for a long time, and then I realized that I was leaning on Xiyue's shoulder, and she was also leaning on me, but her body kept a distance from me, such a posture was not too deliberate, and it would not embarrass me.

I sat up a little straighter, and she leaned over the crook of my arm, and I didn't want to disturb her dreams, and I couldn't move, so I just held my position motionless, and looked out the window at the wilderness.

Just a few minutes before the train was about to arrive at the station, Xiyue sat up straight with sleepy eyes, she squinted her eyes and packed her belongings in an orderly manner.

It seems that she often takes this route, otherwise how could she even pinch the time so accurately.

After getting off the bus, it was getting late, and Yu Qing took me straight to the hotel.

I thought it was just an ordinary hotel, after all, the cost of this journey was reimbursed by the company.

But when I got there, I found that the hotel was like a palace, and to my surprise, there was also a Michelin restaurant in the hotel.

I had to call out to Xiyue and ask her, "This hotel is not cheap, is it?" ”

"Well, this is the only museum-style luxury hotel in Nice and the number one hotel in Nice. Inside this hotel, there are many art history exhibits. From Louis XIII to the period of modern art, the style of the most glorious period of French art is reflected here. Every year during the Cannes Film Festival, most of the world's top stars live here. ”

After hearing this, I gasped, and my voice trembled a little: "You just tell me how much it costs for a night." ”

Xiyue said lightly: "It's about 4,000 yuan." ”

"What's that?" I was shocked, "This ...... Four thousand for one night? ”

Xiyue nodded calmly, and I couldn't help but swallow two mouthfuls of saliva in a row, and said, "Is this bed made of gold?" Can't afford to live, can't afford to live, change to a hotel. ”

Xiyue gave me a blank look and said, "I won't let you pay for it." ”

Hearing this, I naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled again: "You pay for it?" How can you be so generous for no reason? ”

"As far as the landlord is concerned, your first time in France will make your experience better, after all, I am a wealthy man."

"Don't say anything, let's go, I can't wait." With that, I took the lead and walked into the hotel.

The hotel is really extraordinary, which must not be fenced in the country as a scenic spot charge?

It's a huge museum full of antiques, and Xiyue says that each and every one of them is worth a fortune.

The 4,000 yuan a night's room fee is really not built, it just opened my eyes.

Xiyue had already booked the room in advance, and we checked in smoothly, and her room and I were next to each other.

The room is not big, much smaller than some domestic hotels, but the room is very exquisite, making people feel like they have traveled to France in the last century.

Before I could get a good feel for this artistic room, Xiyue called me outside.

I followed her to the Michelin-starred restaurant in the hotel, and after finding a seat to sit down, the handsome waitress handed me two menus.

Although I have never been to France, I know that in France, the chef belongs to the category of artists, and the chef makes each dish as a work of art, which is quite beautiful.

The male and female patrons of the Michelin restaurant use different menus, the difference is that the men's menu has a price, and the women's menu has no price.

So just now, the waiter would bring two menus, and one of them was handed to me with a price.

Taking this opportunity, I just want to learn some Western food culture from Xiyue, so as not to encounter such an occasion again and not know how to deal with it.

During the pre-dinner chat, I asked Xiyue a question that most people probably don't know: "What is the relationship between Michelin tires and Michelin restaurants?" Are they the same thing? Or is it just a duplicate name? ”

Xi Yue smiled and said, "It's the same thing, they are a company in themselves. ”

Although I knew some, I didn't dig into it, and I was still surprised: "According to our Chinese thinking, it is hard to imagine that a tire manufacturing company will go to rate restaurants, and it feels like these are two completely unrelated industries." ”

Xiyue explained in a low voice: "Actually, as long as you look at the history of Michelin and then integrate it into French romanticism, this question is not difficult to understand. ”

She paused and then continued: "Michelin has a history of more than 120 years, and in the early days of its establishment, automobiles and tires were still relatively new, and as a pioneer in the industry, it is natural to have a long-term plan for the development of the company.

During the Universal Exposition in 1900, the Michelin brothers, the founders of the Michelin company at the time, were optimistic about the prospects of car travel. They believed that if car travel flourished, their tires would sell better, so restaurants, maps, gas stations, hotels, garages, and so on, all the information they needed to help them travel by car, came together and published the Michelin Guide, the size of a personal booklet, and it has been out of control ever since.

In 1926, the Michelin Guide began to use an asterisk to mark the excellence of restaurants, and since then, the Michelin Red Book, which has been renovated every year, has been regarded as a treasure by "gourmets" and is known as the gastronomic bible of Europe. Later, it began to give annual star ratings to restaurants in France. ”

Xiyue spoke in great detail, and I listened very carefully, and at that moment I found that she was really charming, and this knowledge is not something that anyone can say casually, and even if she knew, it was impossible to remember it so clearly.

This can only show that Xiyue knows French culture very well, and she has even integrated into this country, so from the moment she got off the plane to now, her whole person is different from when she was in China.

After listening to her, I was silent for a while before I said lightly: "Do you like France very much?" ”

She shook her head and said, "I don't like it." ”

"Then you know so much about the culture here, and I don't know if you found out for yourself, from the time our plane landed until now, I feel that your whole person is different."

Xiyue explained lightly: "I understand the culture here because I have learned these histories before, I never thought of settling here, I was born in China and have been Chinese all my life." ”

If nothing else, her words are worth my thumbs up.

The temperament she shows at the moment is far richer than the material things she has.
