Chapter 509: The Charm of the Foot-Washing Basin



Yunluo has never been a good person. Koala thinks he is very bad. Novel. 23x.

After the little princess and Yunluo had been together for a few days, she discovered that Yunluo's attitude towards Xiang Chuchunzi was unusual. Nalan Shiqi was born in a powerful family. She had never lacked money since she was a child. She had seen all kinds of things in the world. It was normal for her to be trained as a maid by some big family. Xiang Chuchunzi was obviously a socialite carefully trained by a Japanese family.

But Koala found it very strange that she could see that Xiang Chu Chunzi had been carefully trained for more than ten years, and it was true that she had special skills. It was impossible for Xiang Chu Chunzi to be so well-behaved and quiet in front of Yun Luo. Koala did not see any pride in her. Xiang Chu Chunzi was obviously very respectful and obedient to Yun Luo, serving her master.

The most important thing was what Koala saw with her own eyes. Xiang Chuchunzi brought a basin of water for washing feet in the room, knelt beside it, and washed Yunluo's feet carefully with her slender hands and 10 fingers. Koala saw this accidentally, and seeing how comfortable Yunluo and Xiang Chuchunzi were, he knew it was not the first time.

Koala was not surprised by Xiang Chuchunzi washing Yunluo's feet, but by her demeanor, the kind of charming words, the gentleness from body to heart. Simply put, Xiang Chuchunzi was following Yunluo sincerely. And the little princess Koala was not An Chuyu who had no half-reading means. Even if Yunluo was far away in Xihu City, Koala had a lot of information.

If you have money, you can do whatever you want.

Koala knew exactly what Xiang Chu Junzi was like in Youyuan Tea Bar. Koala even knew the origin of the little maid. Of course, that was a version that Yunluo made up.

Koala tried Xiang Chuchunzi a few times and found this little maid very interesting. She also discovered Xiang Chuchunzi's personality. She just wanted to follow Yunluo without any idea of ​​status. This was enough for Koala to try to win her over to a limited extent. Koala was very clear-headed and knew what the biggest problem between her and Yunluo was.

It's just a name, but it's also the most difficult thing for Yunluo to give.

Before the filming started, Koala took Yunluo to read the script and discuss the roles. Then they went out to play happily together. Unfortunately, the red mouse Tangtang got a stomachache. Alas, it was really embarrassing for a level 4 alien beast. However, there were a few things in the French cuisine that Tangtang really couldn't get used to.

When Koala and Yunluo went out, it was almost noon, and it was time to find a place to have lunch. There were several restaurants here, so Koala and Yunluo found a seat in a coffee shop on the corner. They ordered salad platter, pizza, egg and ham pie, coffee and drinks.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is quite charming. Part of the dining room is made of transparent glass, so light can shine in directly through the glass, so the restaurant is quite bright. The business here seems to be very good, so the waiters are in a hurry and don't want to waste time waiting for you to look through the menu. As long as you hesitate and don't know what to eat, they will tell you to come back later.

A cafe is actually a place to observe different people talking and dining. You will find many interesting scenes, including elderly couples, young people in groups of three or four, parents with their children, and people meeting for dates. Each has his own characteristics and stories...

Yunluo and Koala fed each other and walked out, then walked down the hillside. Walking down the stairs, the residential buildings on both sides also have their own unique flavor. From time to time, I was attracted by the scenery of the street and couldn't help taking a few more photos.

Koala Yunluo walked down the slope from the Place du Tertre to the Church of Saint-Jean in Montmartre, and walked for about fifteen minutes. There was a small street garden here, and many people gathered around a wall to look at it. It turned out that the words "I love you" and other words in different languages ​​​​of different countries were expressed on the wall, making the wall look full of love. Many people took pictures in front of the wall.

Across the street is the Montmartre Church, which is not very big but very peaceful. If you walk a little further west, you will find the café where the movie "Amelie" was filmed, called the Double Mill Café. Movie fans should not miss it! There are also two art galleries nearby, one is the Dali Museum and the other is the Montmartre Museum.

If you have enough time, they are all nearby. You can find out by asking. The street garden just now is the Abbes Station of Metro Line 12. Koala Yunluo got on the subway here and rode all the way to the destination. When you get out, you will see the Champs Elysees! Next to it are the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais. The appearance is magnificent, but unfortunately it is not open to the public, so I didn't see it.

However, the festive scene along the Champs-Elysees ignited my joy. There were white sheds on both sides of the street, one next to the other, selling food and souvenirs, all kinds of things like a market. The weather was also very good, with bright sunshine and white clouds.

Standing on the street, looking in both directions, I saw the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Champs Elysees. However, the distance was about one or two kilometers, and it was a little tiring to walk there, so Yunluo decided to just enjoy the happy time. There was no fixed place to go to the toilet here, but I found a mobile toilet, and everyone lined up according to gender.

The streets are bustling with people. Walking towards the Arc de Triomphe, you will come to a junction of three roads. On one side is Avenue Montagne. There is no shopping congestion like those brand stores on the Champs-Elysées. This street also has many specialty stores of famous brands.

But today many shops were closed, which was a pity. This street looked like a perfect combination of fashionable brands and low-key elegance. There were not many cars or people, and many cars were parked along both sides of the street. From time to time, you could see some models from the 1970s and 1980s.

Yunluo saw an old Mercedes-Benz, which was very well maintained, with a shiny paint surface and crystal-clear glass. The owner must be a person with a good taste in life. Admiring the windows of big brands here, you can really experience the original flavor of the design elements, without the gorgeous and ostentatious decorations in front of domestic big brand specialty stores.

The windows inlaid in the solemn and steady building exude a mysterious and cool charm and atmosphere, which is impressive. As I was walking, I heard the sound of horse hooves. I looked back and saw an open carriage for sightseeing coming along the road. The horse was very tall and handsome, and there was a coachman and two tourists sitting behind it.

The quiet streets are filled with the sound of horses' hooves hitting the road, giving it a retro feel. Boulevard Montagne is about 500 meters long, and there is a green belt at the end of the street. Standing here and looking back at Boulevard Montagne, it is very beautiful against the blue sky.

Going down further is a bridge that also connects to George Fifth Avenue. You can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance on the other side. Walking on the bridge in the afternoon, the sun shines through from behind the tower. It is beautiful. After crossing the bridge, walk along the Seine River towards the Eiffel Tower, passing by the Quai Brillante Art Museum.

The green wall covered with vines and ferns along the street is a very eye-catching landmark, where collections of indigenous art from Africa, America, Oceania and Asia are collected. Koala Yunluo walked straight to the Eiffel Tower. He had never seen the tower so vividly and so closely before, but today he finally saw it.

In fact, it is beautiful from any angle. Yunluo feels that the urban landscape design of Paris is indeed extraordinary. The area around the Eiffel Tower is very open, and people can easily view it from any angle. How can this not make the French proud?

Walk under the tower and look up carefully. Because it was undergoing some kind of renovation, part of it was covered with a net and could not be seen clearly, but the bottom space formed by the four huge supporting legs was very tall and majestic. There were quite a lot of people queuing up to climb the tower. It would probably take an hour or two to wait in line, so Koala Yunluo decided to take a good look at it from the ground.

Standing in the distance, many tourists took pictures in their own unique ways in front of the camera. Some posed for group photos, some used the illusion of perspective to hold the tower. Some even froze the moment when they all danced together. As night fell, the chill became stronger. After staying for nearly half an hour, I was about to leave. Suddenly, I saw the tower turned on the floodlights.

The orange light on the tower, against the deep blue sky, looks warm and eye-catching. If you climb the tower in the afternoon and then come down in the evening to watch the Eiffel Tower at night, you can fully appreciate the charm of the tower. If you want to take pictures, it is recommended to bring even the simplest tripod. A clear image is much more important than noise.

Looking back on the way away from the Eiffel Tower will also give you a different viewing experience. Don’t forget to look back more often, especially at night, the Eiffel Tower looks even more beautiful and charming.

There was a problem at night: many restaurants closed early, so finding food became a problem. Koala Yunluo looked at the map. He planned to find a place to eat first, but after searching for a long time, he didn't find a decent restaurant open. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to go back to the hotel first. Looking at the simple map, he felt that the subway station was just a few blocks away.

But it seems that no two adjacent streets in Paris are parallel. As a result, I turned a corner after walking a little bit, and I was really tired and hungry. But fortunately, I finally found the nearby station. It turned out to be the high-priced light rail. This line also passes through Montparnasse, which I visited a few days ago, and goes directly to the hotel of Koala Yunluo.

Walking around casually is not enough to experience the excitement of shopping in Paris, so Koala plans to change it to shopping and moving. A one-stop solution is the most efficient. Of course, you have to make a list and think about how to make a comprehensive arrangement in advance, otherwise you will be embarrassed after a round of shopping without buying what you should buy.

In short, after arriving at the subway, you can directly enter the underground passage to the first basement of Galeries Lafayette, which is a shoe and bag store. Go up one level to the bottom floor, which is the world's largest perfume and cosmetics store, as well as a part of the leather goods, watches and jewelry stores. In the perfume and cosmetics area, the iconic colorful dome is overhead.

The huge rotating tree in the center creates an unusual festive atmosphere for the entire mall. When customers walk through the counters, they can definitely feel the charm of Galeries Lafayette. Galeries Lafayette has three buildings. The facades of the buildings are not very gorgeous, but there are often huge outdoor themed billboards according to the season.

Galeries Lafayette is probably considered a historic hypermarket in Paris, because there are so many major brands in the world gathered in one place, and it would take a whole day to see them all. It is divided into the main mall and the men's mall according to the product theme. The women's mall is on the first, second and third floors of the main mall.

The third floor is the world's largest women's bra shop. It is really unique and the prices are first-class. In Galeries Lafayette, sometimes I feel like I am in a department store in a big city in China. Chinese faces can be seen everywhere, and they must be the main consumer contributors here. I often hear a lot of local dialects while walking around.

When Yunluo was looking at a few watches at the famous watch counter, he remembered the familiar Chinese language in the aisle behind him. He turned around and saw a tour group of 20 to 30 middle-aged women and uncles coming, with a guide flag. Not to mention the customers. Even the sales staff at Galeries Lafayette were mostly Asian. They could answer fluently when they spoke Chinese.

It seems that Galeries Lafayette has indeed treated Chinese tourists as an important customer group and given them special care. The most amusing thing was that I met a Chinese uncle who had paid the money and was holding the cashier receipt, looking for something at a loss. He saw a French girl working in a shopping mall and said to her, "Hey, where can I get a tax refund?"

The French girl seemed to be unable to react for a moment. The uncle repeated, "Where can I get my tax refund?" without realizing that the person standing in front of him was not Chinese. However, what was surprising was that the French girl actually replied, "Tax refund, go over there."

Go, this high-frequency phrase has been handled so naturally and casually by them. Speaking of tax refunds, it seems that only Tiffany and LV in Galeries Lafayette handle tax refunds at their own counters, while others have to pay at the comprehensive checkout. Some Chinese customers rushed to a counter and asked, "How much is this?" and then took out a calculator to convert it into RMB.

The salesperson didn't listen to their introduction, but only asked questions and calculated. In addition, impoliteness is also a common problem among Chinese people. The anxious and self-centered look really spoils the mood. For example, when the salesperson was introducing the use of a product to a customer, the uncle or aunt next to him interrupted and asked, "Hey, how much is this?"

Uncle and aunt, can we not buy vegetables like we do in the market? No wonder I heard that some brand stores in Paris don't welcome Chinese customers. Yunluo thinks this has something to do with destroying the impression and cloning himself. After a round, I found that Louis Vuitton is the place with the longest queue.

In addition to the Chinese people, there are also Hong Kong people and Japanese people queuing here. There seem to be fewer European and American people. The fourth and fifth floors are full of luggage, travel supplies, children's toys, sundries and souvenirs, etc. I didn't visit all of them. I fully appreciate the prosperity of the commodity economy in developed capitalist countries. I was very hungry while walking. I went to the dining area on the top floor.

For so many days, they had been eating Western food. Koala missed the steamed buns, porridge, noodles, etc. from his hometown, and unexpectedly saw a Sihai restaurant here. So he went in and sat down to read the order. When reading the order, the waiter said bluntly that the mind-reading food and other things were not made by their family, but were bought from outside for processing.

So I didn't expect too much and ordered a plate of fried noodles. I think I also ordered spring rolls, but the taste was only comparable to that of a domestic food court. The price was not worth it when converted to RMB. However, when eating in Paris, I suggest you don't treat yourself badly just to save money. Eat whatever you want. It won't be a pity to spend more time on food.

Next, Yunluo and Koala walked around the men's hall again. The richness of the merchandise lies in the fact that the merchandise here is arranged according to the season. After a period of time, the merchandise varieties will be adjusted, so the time is relatively strong, and promotions and other activities are not frequent. It seems that the men's hall has only three floors.

However, there is a large fresh food specialty area and coffee lounge on the second floor. As a restrained foodie, I would definitely spend some time there if I had time. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time, so I could only take a quick look and leave. Fortunately, Yunluo kept reminding me to consider whether the box can hold the food when shopping, so I didn't overeat.

After picking up the luggage, Koala Yunluo set off in full gear, just like the day he arrived in Paris. This may be the largest transfer station in Paris. The three stations are connected by passages to form a large transfer network, where eight lines intersect.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Transferring here requires a lot of intelligence and reading the signboards more often. Du Yunluo really appreciates the design of the sign system of the Paris Metro, which is very simple and clear, more scientific and easier to identify than any other sign system in the country. Also, you need to pay attention to the direction the train is heading.

Because the platform is sometimes located between the train tracks and sometimes on both sides of the tracks, if you go the wrong way you may have to go around in a big circle. There is another special feature of this transfer: there seem to be a lot of black people. So many that I feel like a minority.

Before coming here, I read some travel guides saying that there are many thieves in Paris at these major stations and tourist attractions, so I started to feel nervous and alert. I kept looking around to see if there were any suspicious people paying attention to Koala Yunluo, and found that many people gave Koala Yunluo ambiguous looks.

And from the way they look at you, it seems that they are thinking about something while looking at you, which does make you feel uncomfortable. However, as Yunluo mentioned at the beginning, in such a situation, if you need to look at the map to confirm something, your attention will shift from the surroundings to your own map or yourself, so it is recommended that you stand against the wall. At least this way, there will be no chance of being attacked from behind.

If two people are walking together, then they should stand back to back. Maybe Yunluo was wearing a hat and a black coat, and he was tall and strong, so it was hard to tell what race he was, so no one approached him. Of course, the most important thing was to be vigilant. There was basically nothing to take out of the pockets of the coat, so the cell phone must be put away. At this time, I felt that the station was getting more and more crowded, and the train was not coming, and I felt that it seemed wrong to continue like this.

During the transfer, the people getting off the platform and getting on the train were basically stuck together. When a train came, the door closed many times before it closed and left. To be honest, the quality of the Paris subway is pretty good. There were also people who squeezed in through the door. But they seemed to be much stronger than Koala Yunluo. Finally, after letting three trains pass and the flow of people improved slightly, Koala Yunluo squeezed in.

After arriving at the shopping mall, Koala Cloud didn't spend much time here. In fact, there are many popular brands here, and the prices are very affordable, there are discounts, and the shopping environment is also very good. There is even an Apple store here. The only thing missing is that this shopping mall is long. The one-way distance from one end to the other is estimated to be about 500 meters.

The French Auchan supermarket on the basement floor left a deep impression on Yun Luo, because it could no longer be described as a supermarket. It should be called a super supermarket because it was so big and had so many products.

As it was late, I was worried that the supermarket would close, so I just took a quick look around. The shelves were so magnificent. After buying food for the evening and the next morning, I bought some drinks. The Evian water here is really cheap.

There are many brands of the same type of food here, which is a phenomenon of the developed commodity economy. If you don’t know what you want to buy, you’d better take a quick look and leave, so as not to be tempted and buy something. Koala bought a lot of snacks. Yunluo paid for it.

The next morning, Koala Yunluo planned to spend a day at Disney, so he went to one park. He entered the park before noon and started to tour the park. There are many routes to visit the park, but in order to avoid going back, it is very helpful to study the park guide map not far from the entrance.

I won’t go into detail about how to play, as Yunluo didn’t know much about it since it was her first time in Disneyland, but there are a few things we can talk about. First, the food in the park is basically a fast food restaurant similar to McDonald’s, except for a cafe with bread, and there are often long queues.

As a rule, you are not allowed to bring your own food into the park, but if you bring some energy foods with you, they will not be searched as strictly as at the airport, and the staff will indeed let you open your bag and take a look inside.

Second, queuing is also a common thing. When waiting to ride Dumbo, Koala Cloudfall had to wait for half an hour, and the time to ride Dumbo was no more than three minutes. Although the day when Koala Cloudfall went was basically cold, it did not affect the grand performance of the parade at all.

The appearance of various Disney characters accompanied by the cheerful music of long jump immediately attracted the cold and expectant eyes, which is very worth watching. Fourthly, the tree music performance after dark is also a part worth stopping to appreciate.

The tacit coordination between the music in the square and the tree lights presents the colorful and dynamic colors and lights to the tourists, which is really a wonderful garden experience.

Since Koala Yunluo planned to stay in a hotel near Charles de Gaulle Airport that night, Koala Yunluo had to leave Disneyland and return to the hotel to pick up his luggage and then rush to Disneyland Station to take a ride to Charles de Gaulle Airport. There was an extra round trip on the route, but there seemed to be no more labor-saving and worry-free way.

So Koala Yunluo left Disneyland around 5:00 am. At the station, Yunluo specifically asked about the flights to Charles de Gaulle Airport that day and got a timetable so that he could manage his schedule. Then he went back to the shopping mall for dinner and found a restaurant that seemed to specialize in seafood. He quickly ate something to get by.

After eating, Koala and Yunluo went directly to the station to meet up so that they could go to the Disney station as early as possible. However, the shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel had ended, and there were only taxis. There were only a few taxis waiting at the airport exit, which looked like private cars, and it was raining.

Yunluo called the hotel to inquire about the situation of going to the hotel. They said that the maximum taxi price was 25 Euros, so he ran to a taxi waiting for guests to ask. It turned out that they only went to the city of Paris, which was probably similar to those who squatted at the airport in China to do long-distance work in the middle of the night. He had no choice but to go back and wait. Finally, a bus came, but it was not in the direction that Koala Yunluo was going.

He ran out again and tried to ask for a taxi. The driver was probably over 50 years old, and seemed to be a native Frenchman. He was not picky about jobs. Seeing that there was hope, Yun Luo took out the map of the hotel that he had printed out in advance and showed it to him. It seemed that he understood the basic direction, so Yun Luo went back and asked Koala to get in the car.

I asked how to pay the fee, and the driver said to pay by meter, Yunluo agreed. Although the driver understood the general idea, he still didn't understand the specific reading, so Yunluo called the hotel again and asked the driver to contact the hotel directly. The result was good, and Koala Yunluo was sent to the hotel quickly. The bill seemed to be less than 20 euros. At that time, there seemed to be no small bills, so I gave him a 50 euro bill.

He half-jokingly asked if it was all for him. Yun Luo smiled bitterly and he naturally gave Yun Luo change, proving once again that Paris taxi drivers basically don't give change after collecting money. It's better for everyone to prepare some change. This hotel is actually a common chain of self-service apartments in Europe. The nameplate at the door indicates that it is rated as a three-star tourist accommodation in France.

There are several multi-storey houses here, with two units on each floor. After registering at the front desk, I got the key and paid the accommodation fee directly. However, it seems that since it is self-service, there are not so many service staff, and the room door locks are also special.

Xiang Chuchunzi had already arranged dinner for Yunluo and Xiang Chuchunzi. Hongshu Tangtang lazily slept in the little maid's arms. After spending time with her for these days, Hongshu Tangtang fell in love with Xiang Chuchunzi. The main reason was that Xiang Chuchunzi understood Hongshu Tangtang's preferences the best and knew what Tangtang liked to eat.

In this reading, An Chuyu failed miserably, but An Qingju could tell what Tangtang liked to eat. However, An Qingju was mainly studying at Jiangnan University, and it was impossible for him to take care of Red Rat Tangtang three times a day. An Chuyu was just a lazy pig, and he was happy to be lazy when he could be lazy.

After Koala and Yunluo had a delicious dinner, they went back to their rooms. Xiang Chu and Chunzi naturally shared a room with Yunluo. If they were not in China, An Chuyu, Yan Chenyu, and An Qingjue, the three childhood sweethearts, would not be around Yunluo. Koala would not care about Yunluo's trivial matters, so Yunluo could rarely enjoy the warmth and beauty.

Xiang Chu Chunzi's feelings towards Yun Luo are not love, but a kind of admiration for the strong. (To be continued...)
