Chapter 356 Eating hot pot in the villa
In fact, if you want to have an in-depth tour of Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain, one week is far from enough, not to mention that they are driving the entire European trip instead of flying to the next city, so the brothers have made preparations for a special forces trip from the beginning.
Even with Yu Yu, the all-purpose assistant who is essential for home and travel, he can only make his brothers have a comfortable time within a limited time so that they don't have to worry about itinerary and accommodation arrangements.
As for sightseeing, it is obvious that they can only take a good look around the capitals of various countries, and the other landmark cities are just passed by and checked in to light up the map.
For example, Florence, where they are about to arrive, is the birthplace of the European Renaissance. If they want to have an in-depth tour, they have to reserve at least two days for it. But now it can only serve as a transit station for their journey. They have to stay for one night and continue north to Milan at noon the next day.
Yes, due to a one-day delay, the originally planned trip to Venice had to be cancelled, and they couldn't even stay in Milan for one night. They had to take a night train directly to the Swiss capital Bern.
When we first saw the tight schedule, we were a little shocked, not to mention the following days, which were literally a "road trip". The exotic scenery was beautiful, but the direct journey was a bit too torturous.
However, these behind-the-scenes driving clips will not be edited into the main film too much, so when it is broadcast later, the audience's senses will not be affected by the long journey at all. They will just follow the old Beibeis to visit the scenic spots, watching them laugh and play, and singing songs in the car to kill time on the road. It looks so pleasant...
"What's so comfortable about it? I feel like I'm going to die if I don't eat some Chinese food." In the McDonald's restaurant at the highway rest stop, Wang Yuexin was chewing on a hamburger with boredom.
Generally speaking, he has no problem with Chinese or Western food. He can enjoy eating hamburgers, French fries, pizza, sandwiches, steak, etc., but he can't eat Western fast food every meal.
Lu Hu heard his wailing and suddenly remembered something, clapping his hands fiercely: "Yuexin, guess what? I brought hot pot soup base!"
Zhang Yuan also straightened up instantly and called back with a smirk, "Isn't it from the hotel this time?"
He was referring to the hot pot base that Land Rover brought when filming Mushroom House, which was taken from the hotel.
"No, I bought it specially because I thought we might not be used to eating Western food after all this time." Lu Hu said, "I don't think the production crew will take away the food we brought this time, right? I also bought a bunch of instant noodles for our old friend."
Su Xing also felt a little greedy after listening to this. The burger in his hand was tasteless. "You even brought grain. Where is our old friend?"
"Hey, our old friend, isn't it here?" Lu Hu said in a tone of coaxing a child, and spread his hands to point to the table in front of him. Everyone cooperated and looked at the table according to his gesture. There was nothing else on the table except the fast food tray.
Lu Hu paused for a few seconds, then turned to look at Zhao Hao. "Alright, now's the time for you to show off your skills. The instant noodles are in my box, and my big box is in the production team's car, right? Brother Hao, can you guys help get it? I'll make it for you later, and then I'll make it for you."
"I knew it." Wang Zhengliang shook his head.
Helping Land Rover to transform things in the later stage has become a regular program of the program team. From the initial helplessness to the current willingness to accept and cooperate with the performance, Zhao Hao has long been accustomed to it.
He looked at the staff member beside him and was about to ask him to help get it, but was stopped by Yu Yu.
"Are we going to sit in someone else's fast food restaurant and eat takeout food?" Yu Yu reminded.
"Let's go out to eat. It's not nice to take up other people's seats." Chen Fusheng tilted his head slightly to indicate, "We can borrow some hot water from them later, or we can buy it ourselves."
The others nodded in agreement. This made sense. Although they didn't want to flatter themselves when they went abroad, they always felt that they represented their own reputation. Besides, they were public figures filming a show in a foreign country, so they did have to be careful.
Although, now that they think about it, with their good mental states, their intelligence will be reduced as it should be in the future.
"Taking up other people's seats is one thing..." As they were about to leave, Yu Yu, sensing they might have misunderstood, spoke again, "On the other hand, do you want to squat on the curb and eat instant noodles, or go to the villa for hot pot?"
"Ah?" The brothers were slightly stunned.
"Ah." Yu Yu responded in an affirmative tone.
"No, you...?"
"Yes, I do."
"villa?"
"villa."
"..."
"Can we book a villa with the few hundred dollars we have left?"
The person who asked the question this time was the financial director Wang Zhengliang. Although he had never worried about how they spent their living expenses and only had to give Yu Yu money when she asked for it, the money was in his hands so he certainly knew how much money they had left.
Today, apart from the fixed ticket expenses of 49 euros per person, as well as meals, water and parking fees, I only have more than euros left. This money can book three or four standard hotel rooms, but a villa?
"If it's a private house in a rural town on the outskirts, yes, it's possible. But if you want to book a villa near Piazzale Michelangelo, on a high ground with a panoramic view of Florence, generally speaking, it's really not possible. And those have to be booked several months in advance. For us, who can only book a day in advance, even if we have the money, we can't book it."
"Mr. Yu, you don't mean to say that it's your private property, do you?" Su Xing looked clear-headed.
Yu Yu snapped her fingers. "Bingo, that's definitely a place for me to stay, so we can save on the room fee tonight. I've just sent a message to the housekeeper who's in charge of the villa, asking him to go to the supermarket and buy some food for us. We'll have to ask Brother Liang to reimburse us for this later, so Haohao doesn't get jealous and say we're cheating and secretly deducting our living expenses tomorrow."
Zhao Hao: ...Don't worry, I won't jump off Michelangelo Square even if I... Woohoo, I really envy you, Yuyu, such a rich man!
The value of the sentence "Yu Yu has a place to stay wherever I go" has begun to show.
"...If it's a whole villa, will there be a kitchen? Then I can even cook some stir-fries for you guys?" Wang Yuexin asked tentatively.
Yu Yu nodded.
Chen Fusheng was the first to stand up: "What are we waiting for? Let's get going now."
The charm of stir-fry is so terrifying.
The brothers' lives suddenly became hopeful.
They all rushed back to the car. They should have been sleepy after a tiring day, but now they were all full of energy and vigor, and couldn't wait to carry the car to the big villa in Florence.
Wang Zhengliang even asked if Yu Yu's driving speed was a bit slow, and if he was tired after driving all day, if so, it would be his turn. He could even go on a fast and furious ride for the stir-fries and hot pot.
"It's the passion between stir-fry, hot pot and each other that gave rise to the hot pot spatula."
"...Brother Liang, this is Italy, not Germany. You can't drive too fast. There is a speed limit on the highway." Yu Yu asked Teacher Wang Zhengliang to control himself. Not everyone can be matched as a couple.
Having said that, Yu Yu also increased his speed after getting back on the road, and drove north on the maximum speed limit line. Before eight o'clock in the evening, he had safely sent his brothers to the villa in Florence.
As Yu Yu had introduced before, his "temporary resting place" was located between small hills. It was extremely secluded and there were no other houses nearby.
From the top-floor observation deck, you can see Piazzale Michelangelo not far away, as well as the star-studded main city of Florence on the other side of the Arno River.
Seven old friends sat in front of the French window in the living room on the second floor, enjoying the hometown hotpot brought from China and eating hot stir-fries fresh from the pot, making the ancient capital of civilization and art become a backdrop. Life seemed more comfortable at this moment.
Unable to have a leisurely and enjoyable time, Yu Yu could only make sure his brothers lived more comfortably.
As for the dozens of people in the program crew, they were so numerous that the accommodation at each stop had been booked in advance. However, their accommodation was a bit far from here, so the brothers were halfway through eating hot pot and stir-fries when they quickly asked Zhao Hao to take the others back to rest, as they had to get up early tomorrow morning to rush here.
Tomorrow they will have to get up before dawn and can only go back to the hotel to rest when the moon climbs above the branches. They are worried that the camera teachers who are following them will not be able to handle it.
As for why they had to leave before dawn? Because they wanted to go to Piazzale Michelangelo to watch the sunrise over Florence. This was something they had agreed to from the beginning. At that time, Yu Yu had even advised them not to go so hard, and at worst they could just give up their trip to Pisa.
On the one hand, they wanted to come up with content for the program, and on the other hand, they knew that the brothers were under time pressure and had heavy tasks to complete, so in order to meet their schedule, they decided after discussion that they had to watch the sunrise, visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and also check out the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
However, they only walked around the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and didn't spend much time in the crypt, museum, bell tower, or dome. Normally, the cathedral is free to enter, but it doesn't open until 10:15 AM. They woke up early to watch the sunrise, and maybe even came back for a nap.
When Su Xing asked this question, he was looking at Yu Yu, and the latter gave him an expected answer: "No, we will set off after watching the sunrise. We can enter the church at 8 o'clock."
OK.jpg.
The brothers who were already used to the special treatment nodded, made an OK gesture to the rising sun, and followed Yu Yu to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with peace of mind. This made Dalin and Zhao Hao, who were at the back of the hall, once again sigh that Noravinich's status was indeed not to be underestimated. No wonder they began to covet the real power of the Italian government.
It took less than 40 minutes to follow the priest around the church. Normally, loud noises are not allowed in the church, but it was early in the morning and there were no other guests in the church, so the brothers encouraged Yu Yu to stand under the stained glass window and sing an angel's song.
Wang Yuexin was the most active in this matter. After pushing Yu Yu over, he immediately ran back, took out his mobile phone and stood in a row with the others.
Being stared at by six cell phone lenses and several video camera lenses, Yu Yu's mouth twitched and he could only hum a short passage of "Bird of Paradise" softly.
Under the shadow of the colorful stained glass windows, the already ethereal chanting in the solemn and dignified church seems to be born with a sense of holiness that can purify thousands of sins, as if being lifted by invisible angels and flying towards the tall and empty dome of the church. Perhaps there is the entrance to heaven.
At that moment, even breathing became extremely light and cautious.
The priest standing by had tears in his eyes. No one understood better than these clergymen what the voice of heaven meant to them. He believed that as long as he was pious enough, he would be able to hear God's teachings one day. However, he did not expect that he would hear the response he had dreamed of from a noble artist with a powerful background.
"Fish, he is destined to belong to music." When Yu Yu finished humming, Chen Fusheng said softly with red eyes and an unconcealable smile.
