000031 French Winery Tour

Now Xiao Yifei plans to set out to inspect the winery. He does not plan to go to Bordeaux first stop, and he is the first to go to the Champagne area.

The word champagne has many meanings. It is the name of a French region, that is, the Champagne Ardennes region. This region is a first-level administrative agency in France, equivalent to our province.

Secondly, Champagne is the name of a French wine-producing area, just like Bordeaux, Burgundy and Cognac. Only sparkling wine produced according to the champagne method can be called champagne.

The other layer is champagne, which is actually sparkling wine. The so-called sparkling wine is a wine containing gas. Whether it is produced or injected by the fermentation of the gas, it can be called sparkling wine. In other words, champagne is sparkling wine, but sparkling wine is not necessarily champagne.

This is similar to our Pu'er tea. Pu'er is the name of a city in Yunnan, and it is also the name of a kind of tea. However, if tea leaves in other places are made according to the Pu'er tea method, they cannot be called Pu'er tea.

Xiao Yifei is now going to see what is special about sparkling wine in the champagne production area. Why can only be called champagne here? Other places can only be called "sparkling wine".

As a result, before he set out, the person who settled the accounts came to the door. The phone rang and he picked it up casually.

"Silly Pig."

There is no way, staying in France is like this. You can’t even say hello to the “proud” French people, you must scold the stupid pig.

"You're stupid, you think I don't know you're swearing."

Hey, why is it a Chinese talking? It’s 9 pm now, and it’s 3 am in China. This voice is not Xiao Ya’s, who is it?

"Who are you?"

"you guess?"

"I can't guess." How could Xiao Yifei be fooled with such a childish thing?

"I'm the one who settles the score with you."

Xiao Yifei thought about it. He has been cultivating his character recently, and it seems that he hasn't provoked women?

"If you have something to say, I'll hang up the phone."

"Don't, I'm Wang Nan."

Oh, that's the Arc de Triomphe, I'll say it earlier.

"Wang Nan, who am I talking about? But it seems that I am your savior, how can you settle the score with me?"

"You hang our photos online without my permission and Shirley. You said what I'll pay for you."

Well, needless to say, this is discovering his own nest. Xiao Yifei has been insisting on updating his daily photos on his blog, and now there are some readers on the blog. The photos Wang Nan mentioned are the photos taken by Xiao Yifei before saving them, and were placed in the blog by Xiao Yifei.

"This matter is mainly because I am trying to prove the security issues in Paris, so as not to accidentally get caught by the Chinese people and have to do it. Besides, I mosaiced it, no one can recognize you."

"I don't care. Anyway, you are wrong, you must make compensation."

"Why should I compensate me if I did not do anything wrong?"

"You are so embarrassed to say that you arrived first, and you took a few photos slowly before coming to save us. What about your compatriots?"

OK, Xiao Yifei did this a bit inauthentic, and now someone is caught in the conversation.

"I'd better save you." Xiao Yifei felt that he was just a stubborn person.

"You are so embarrassed to say, you took photos and delayed your time. If the black man used force at that time, wouldn't Shirley and I be in danger? Even if we don't die and scratched our faces, what should we do?"

"Okay, stop talking, sister, I was wrong. You can just beat or kill if you want. You can draw the bottom of the way, and I will continue."

A burst of laughter came from the opposite side of the phone, followed by Shirley's English voice. The two of them muttered a few words in English, and then both women laughed. Not to mention it, this was planned for a long time, so Xiao Yifei had to admit defeat.

“We are going to take part in your journey below.”

"What?"

"I said Shirley and I were going to travel to the winery with you."

Xiao Yifei now wants to give himself a mouthful and let you show off.

Xiao Yifei announced his itinerary on his blog. Although he didn't say he wanted to buy a winery, he also said that he would go to taste French wine next, first to the Champagne Province, then to the Loire Valley, and finally to Bordeaux.

"I'll declare first that my schedule is very tight."

Xiao Yifei has only recently made up his mind to buy a winery in Bordeaux, but the winery in Bordeaux is not something that can be done with the 2 million euros now. It is not that you can’t buy a Bordeaux winery in 2 million euros, but that you can only buy a winery that is not as good as the price point for 2 million euros.

Although Xiao Yifei knew himself and would not covet five famous houses like Rafiratu, he would at least have to build a winery of grade. However, the lowest-level winery would cost at least tens of millions of euros, and the higher-level ones would be even more expensive. Therefore, he had to continue to raise funds. After careful consideration, he finally chose to take advantage of the oil painting that may be the most valuable.

To buy a winery worth tens of millions of dollars, you must first sell oil paintings. To sell oil paintings worth tens of millions of euros, you must leave a pre-exhibition for the auction company and hold a few more pre-exhibitions to attract more buyers.

Vineyards usually start harvesting in September, and grapes will sprout in March next year. If you buy a winery, it is best to complete the delivery within this year. The tens of millions of wineries, vineyards, and transaction negotiations can only be completed for at least three or two months. If you really want to tell what is said in some novels, you can check it out, sign a contract and sign a check with a big pen. You really think that foreigners are all saints.

By doing this, half a year may not be enough. It will be May soon, and he must speed up his itinerary and leave enough time for the future.

"No problem, you decide on the itinerary."

It’s nice to have two beauties accompanying you. On the dull journey, you have two beauties accompanying you. Well, it’s a happy thing to think about it.

"Okay, where are you?"

"We just returned to Paris from Switzerland."

"By the way, how do you know my blog?"

"Silly Pig, you can search your blog online with Arc de Triomphe, black man, and you can search for the robbery."

Sweat, that's it.

"Okay, you can rest today and we will set off tomorrow."

"marvelous."

Xiao Yifei immediately contacted the car rental company. It was fine to drive the car he just rented alone. Now three people change to an off-road vehicle with a large space. In this way, if you are tired, you can go to the back seat to lie down and rest.

The next day, the three of them drove for two hours to Reims, northeast of Paris.

Reims is the northern gateway of Paris and is known as the "Corruption Capital". Since the 11th century, all French kings have to go to Reims, the crowning place, and the place for the crowning is the Reims Cathedral in Reims, so Reims is known as the "City of Kings".

Of course, there are exceptions, and this exception is the crowning picture that the famous Napoleon and Xiao Yifei all have depicts Napoleon's coronation ceremony, which takes place in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Note that the oil painting was actually Napoleon crowning his wife, not Napoleon crowning himself.

The three of them went to the Cathedral of Reims for a while and took some photos. In Europe, among the ancient buildings in any city, the most spectacular and gorgeous ones are often churches. It can be seen that the church used to plunder money to build magnificent cathedrals everywhere.

Unfortunately, the Reims Cathedral in front of me has just been restored for less than a hundred years.

During World War I, because the River Marne was behind Reims, everyone knows that during World War I, the focus of the competition between the two sides was near the River Marne. In addition, Paris was 120 kilometers southeast of Reims, so the German army attacked Reims, almost razing the city of Reims to the ground, and the Cathedral of Reims was not spared.

After the German bombardment, only two walls remained in the cathedral. Later, in addition to the generous donation of local wine merchants, the restoration work was also funded by the Rockefeller family.

Xiao Yifei and the others visited here for a few hours, then ran to the suburbs to find a winery to enjoy champagne.

The next day, I followed the road south and went south to the origin of the champagne, Epernay. Here I continued to indulge in the champagne.

On the way back to Paris, Xiao Yifei said proudly: "It's really right for you to follow me. You'll have a good time drinking champagne these two days."

Shirley said, "To be honest, I have never drunk so many brands of champagne."

Wang Nan echoed: "I never knew that there were so many types of champagne."

Shirley complained, "I am not as rich as you, I buy so much champagne."

Xiao Yifei interrupted:

"Okay, today I will take you to the Loire Valley and continue to taste French wine."

In the Loire Valley, it is recommended that those who travel to France must go there once.

The Loire River is 1,012 kilometers long, it is the largest river in France and the most beautiful river. Especially in the middle reaches of the valley, it is decorated with ancient castles and beautiful scenery, and is known as the "French Garden".

There are three specialties in the Loire Valley: castles, white wines and writers.

The Loire Valley castle group consists of Chamborg, Chenonso Water Castle, Champions of Chavini and Royal Castle of Amboise. These ancient palaces are all the leading figures in the glorious history of France and are witnesses of French civilization. Many ancient castles were built during the Middle Ages. During the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France, the French royal family took refuge in the Loire Valley.

The Loire Valley enjoys the reputation of "French Gardens" and is one of the particularly important wine producing areas in northwestern France. The white wine is famous here, and of course there are also a small amount of sweet wine and sparkling wine.

This place is really worthy of being a French garden. Shirley and Wang Nan directed Xiao Yifei to drive around to take pictures of the scenery during the day. When they met the winery, they got off the car and tasted it. They thought it tasted good, so they directly blocked the car and put it in the back compartment, and packed it to the house at night.

To be honest, this place is really beautiful, but unfortunately Xiao Yifei found that it is not suitable for him to buy a winery. Because the wineries here are not very famous, the price is only a few euros to more than ten euros per bottle, which is a low-end winery that relies on running volume to increase income. Xiao Yifei imagined that even if the winery can’t sell more than 500 euros in Lafite, it will still cost more than 100 euros, so why don’t you do that?

So he grabbed the two girls and killed directly at Bordeaux.

Of course, Wang Nan and Shirley were not happy and kept complaining in the car:

"What are you anxious about? Your visa expires very early. Why are you so anxious? Such a beautiful scenery, let's have another two days of fun."

Xiao Yifei can only tell the truth: "I want to buy a winery, but buying a winery in Bordeaux requires permission from the French government. You also know the efficiency of the French and French governments. If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to get the winery at this time next year."

Wang Nan asked in surprise: "You want to buy a winery? Bordeaux? How much money do you have? I can't tell you are still a rich second generation. What do you do at home?"

Shirley said disapprovingly:

"Why do you need to go to Bordeaux when you buy a winery? Our Napa, California wines are better than those in Bordeaux."
