Bordeaux is known as Little Paris and is located in the south of France. The Mediterranean climate, the warm sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean, and plenty of sunlight provide a unique growth environment for grapes. High-quality soil, natural spring water irrigation, bred high-quality grapes, and produced the best wines in the world.
After a 12-hour flight, we arrived in Paris at 18:00 local time.
Chen Chuan in Paris is also the first time, but this is not the destination of this trip. When I come here next time, I will taste the gentleness and elegance of French women.
This time, he didn't even leave the airport, and went directly to another waiting room.
Transfer there and after a one-hour and 15-minute flight, we arrived in Bordeaux.
This is the land of wine in the world, with more than 3,000 large and small wineries.
Since Chen Chuan came here at night, he did not enjoy the unique scenery. The airport is 12 kilometers away from the downtown area of Bol. Chen Chuan didn't take a taxi. He took the airport bus along with the crowd. It took another 45 minutes to get to the city.
This is a tourist attraction, and many people come to play. On the bus, Chen Chuan got to know the girls from Neon Country, the girls from Southeast Asia, and the girls from Finland.
Of course there are men, but there is one thing to say, these two are tied together, and Chen Chuan definitely prefers to deal with girls.
The bus is on the road.
It was nearly eight o'clock in the night, and it was pitch black everywhere. Although you can't look far, Chen Chuan also knew that there were vineyards on both sides of the road. There are 120,000 hectares of vineyards in Bordeaux.
On the bus, these tourists were chatting, and Chen Chuan also gained a lot of knowledge. For example, according to the latest quotation, 1 hectare of vineyards can be bought for only 500,000.
Chen Chuan has the final say, the [Vineyard Tuweier] that came out of the system package is not at this price, it is 70 hectares, and the price is 10 million Euros, which is equivalent to nearly 1 million yuan per hectare... What does this mean? ? Or, the winery is of good quality, the main card and the second card of the wine are hard enough, and the output value is high. Either the system has been taken advantage of.
"Hey, January to March is the rainy season, and it's annoying not to see the sun!"
"Yes, and I heard that my favorite Shuijing Square has no water in winter, but water will only be available in summer."
A Singaporean girl and a neon girl chat with basic English vocabulary.
Sitting in the front row of the two of them, Chen Chuan turned around and accosted: "Isn't this water available all the time? It must be summer? Shouldn't it!"
Neon girl crying face: "Yes, what can I do? I am also desperate! But luckily there are wineries and Arcachon beaches to go to."
"The beach is suitable for summer. Leave a contact information and invite you to come when it's summer." Chen Chuan said.
"Invite me? Are you from here?" Neon girl asked.
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Have you heard of Towell Winery?"
The other party shook his head.
"Do you know Chateau Lafite?" Chen Chuan said.
"Lafite Winery is located on a gravel hill in the north of Puyile Village in Pauillac, covering an area of 178 hectares, including 107 hectares of vineyards. Lafite is a dialect of southern France, meaning small hill It was founded in 1354. After being mastered by the Xigang family for hundreds of years, it was purchased by the Rothschild family in 1868. The main variety in the estate is the top Cabernet Sauvignon, which has thick skin and single At Nindo, the freshly picked grapes will be fermented in oak barrels. This process takes two years. Generally speaking, the newer the barrel, the better the taste. The specific flavor varies according to the type of oak barrel, for example..."
"Qiaodou sack!" Chen Chuan stopped the neon girl's analogy in time, and said, "I just want to say, Tuweier Winery, next to Lafite Winery..."
"For example, if the oak is coffee-flavored, then the brewed wine has a coffee aroma, if it is rose-flavored..." Neon girl continued to speak Japanese fluently.
Obviously, this one did enough homework before coming to travel. She talked endlessly and excitedly told the little knowledge she knew.
"What if it is Xinibang (spicy strip)?" Chen Chuan asked.
"What is Xinyibang?" The neon girl asked weakly, "Yeah, I just found out that you are talking to me in Japanese? And it's in Osaka accent, so amazing!"
"You haven't eaten it before. When you have the opportunity to let you taste it, you may not be used to it at first, but later you will fall in love with it." Chen Chuan said.
"Really? This Xinyibang is so amazing? Then you must let me taste it." The girl said.
The Singaporean **** the side sighed.
"Why? Do you have opinions, do you want to taste too?" Chen Chuan asked a Singaporean girl.
"Oh, naive." The other party turned to look out the window.
The Neon girl stared at them, looked at the two, and asked Chen Chuan: "What's wrong with her?"
"It's okay, she wants to taste it too, but I am embarrassed to say." Chen Chuan said.
"Oh!" The Singaporean girl vomited.
"Cut!" Chen Chuan countered.
"Now, we three oriental faces met here. It's a kind of fate. Let's play together these few days." Neon sister said, "Chuan Sang, (),()"
"It's true that Haji didn't scold him. There was an omission to scold him deliberately. (Please take care of you when you first meet Chen Chuan also said.
Through the chat, I learned that this neon girl is named Da Yinghua and the one in Singapore is Wang Facai.
The bus bumped up and down, and the three of them chatted in the car and unknowingly arrived in Bordeaux.
Chen Chuan didn't let Xun Xue book the hotel he stayed at. You can't sleep in a sloppy place. If you look at it yourself, you can choose the one that suits your own wishes.
One of the other two girls did not book, and one booked a homestay.
The three decided to eat first.
Feeling the Atlantic ocean breeze, the three of them stretched out together. This city is not like the Shanghai stock market or Tokyo. There is no feasting and busy traffic. This is a quiet town with only 700,000 people. There are medieval church buildings everywhere, and the Rococo style shows the romance and elegance of European architecture.
The population of the city is small, but the streets are clean and tidy, and the shops are densely populated.
Chen Chuan has sharp eyes and can see big French brands such as Louis Vuitton, Cardir, Chanel, Dior and so on under the street lights everywhere.
Standing on the side of the road, cars passing by, under the dim street lights, the shadows of plane trees enveloped the three.
The three of them were very quiet at this moment, as if lost in this foreign country.
The air is faintly smelling of wine and the ocean fishy of the Atlantic Ocean, and the ground temperature is about 3 degrees, so you need to wear a coat to keep out the cold.
After standing for a while, the three of them looked for a place to eat. After discussion, they unanimously decided to eat hot pot. Near the Bordeaux Stock Exchange, where the three of them stood, there was a hot pot restaurant called "China Grand Hotel". Chen Chuan thought it was a shop opened by his compatriots. He went in and asked the boss to speak French or Southeast Asia. I just knew...this is a cottage hot pot, not authentic at all.
So in total, the three decided not to eat here, and casually entered the small wooden house on the street, which is a local Bordeaux restaurant.
"A set meal."
"me too."
The two girls ordered the set meal in the store.
Chen Chuan took a look. The set meal includes half a dozen oysters, 100 grams of escargot, 100 grams of shrimp, and a portion of chicken liver pate, totaling 19 Euros. If you want to go with 25 ml of wine, you have to add 7 Euros.
The oysters were eaten raw, and Chen Chuan couldn't bear it, but the neon girl looked quite normal.
"Is there any other way to eat this oyster besides raw? For example, steaming, roasting, and stir-frying?" Chen Chuan asked the owner of the shop, using fluent French.
The shopkeeper froze with a smile, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Sorry, we don't have a kitchen."
Now it's Chen Chuan's turn to froze, dare to open a restaurant without a kitchen? The outside world is different!
"Chuansang, should we change another place?" the neon girl Da Yinghua asked.
Wang Facai has already eaten it She said: "I have to admit, this oyster is really delicious. This humble shrimp and snail are the sweetest I have ever tasted. Don't you try it? I think I can add another one!"
Chen Chuan was really hungry, and there were other customers in the shop. There were three old ladies at one table and the other, and each ate two dozen oysters.
Chen Chuan estimated that if he had to eat this stuff to eat, he would have to eat diarrhea. Moreover, the menu in this shop is super simple, only raw oysters, boiled escargot, boiled shrimp, chicken liver pate, and free French stick bread.
Chen Chuan said, "Give me two set meals."
Make up his mind, try here first, and eat more if it tastes good, if it doesn't suit the taste, he will find a place for supper by himself.
When the dishes came, he took a photo. On a simple wooden table, a few simple plates of oysters, boiled shrimps, escargots... This was his first meal in France.
