My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 189 Helping Beautiful Ladies Is Every Gentleman's Duty
The name of the restaurant is Neeko, because the name is the same as the name of a character in the game, so Han Qi ate here once when he first came to Helsinki.

After all, the Cumulus Hotel in Meilahti, where he stayed, is just opposite this restaurant.

After living in Finland for a period of time, I have eaten local dishes, Turkish dishes, Japanese and Chinese dishes, and finally found that the restaurant closest to me is the one with the best taste.

It has nothing to do with the dishes, it's just the skill of the chef.

Chinese cuisine... don't mention it.

But it may also be that Han Qi did not find a good place. The Chinese restaurant he went to before, the chef was actually a local from Finland. The dish made Han Qi always wonder if this guy was expelled from the school.

The change is too outrageous.

After entering the restaurant, he sat down by the window where he could see the street view, and Fiscetti carefully sat opposite.

"Have a secret grilled steak set meal, how about you? Fiscetti."

"I just want a dry fried chicken drumstick and English black tea."

The waiter said: "Today's special dessert is dark brick chocolate, fruit mousse, fried banana, free of charge, sir, which one do you want?"

"Hmm... Mousse." Fiscetti said.

The waiter took the menu and left. Han Qi put his elbows on the table, clasped his hands together, and looked out the window.

What he likes most when eating in a restaurant is the seat by the window. Although there is no privacy, but looking at the bright environment outside the window and the people passing by, he will open his heart a lot, especially the exotic beauties who pass by occasionally, It is definitely a good helper to trigger inspiration.

No wonder foreigners often talk about muses when they are inspired, but not gods.

Fiscetti didn't look outside, he just looked at Han Qi's suitcase from time to time, wondering if it would be damaged if he put it in the painting tube not long after he finished painting.

The waiter served two glasses of soda water, Han Qi took a sip, looked at Fiscetti, and asked, "Are you here for tourism?"

"No, I go to the nearby Art Institute."

He was still looking at Han Qi's suitcase, and couldn't help asking: "Is it okay for you to put the painting in here?"

"No problem, don't be too precious. It's not the first time I've done this. It's not like I just sit in the studio every day and don't go anywhere. How can there be a special place for drying paintings? And I don't want to paint when I sit all the time."

If Han Qi doesn't travel, he just wants to play games.

Han Qi ordered a set meal, and the appetizer came, which was a salad with herb sauce. Although the salad plate was small, it contained a lot of dishes, which looked colorful and fresh.

A set meal of 465 euros still needs to pay attention to a little presentation skills.

Fiscetti was naturally hungry after standing all afternoon. When he saw Han Qi started to eat, his stomach growled in embarrassment, but Han Qi didn't care. Second-rate.

After all, dough sculpture and painting are both time-consuming things.

After eating the salad in a few mouthfuls, Han Qi took a sip of water and asked, "What's it like in the art school? Is it fun?"

Fiscetti immediately became happy when he heard this question. How could he forget about school?Although I think Han Qi's paintings are very good, but I don't know where the good is. If I take Han Qi to school and let the professor have a look, then I will ask the professor.

"The school is very good. I have never seen such a beautiful campus in Germany before. Would you like to visit our school?"

He didn't lie, but he didn't know how to praise his school. However, Fiscetti didn't think this issue was important. As long as Han Qi was willing to visit the school, everything would be clear. After all, his school was really beautiful.

As long as art schools are not too bad, they will be full of design sense, which is valid no matter what country they are in.

"Okay." Han Qi agreed directly.

He never went to college, and the college he went to was actually a technical school, so he had always had a good impression of college.After so many days in Finland, I have visited all the sights that should be visited, and I almost forgot that the university is also a place to visit.

After achieving his goal, Fiscetti stopped thinking about Han Qi's paintings and concentrated on eating.

So is Han Qi.

He seldom eats with men, but it also depends on what he thinks. At this time, Han Qi just wants to find someone to chat with, and doesn't care who is sitting opposite him.

Traveling alone for a long time, although there are advantages, but also disadvantages.

Sometimes palpable loneliness hangs on to you like a necrosis from day to night.

It is because of this loneliness that Han Qi did not go to exchange euros early in the morning, but set up a street stall on the street all day, just wanting to chat and talk with various people.

So fine.

Invite strangers to have a meal together.

perfect!

This restaurant served food very quickly. As soon as Han Qi finished the last dish, a waiter immediately brought another dish.If he hadn't watched them leave, Han Qi would have thought that they were standing beside them with the dishes, waiting for him to finish eating anytime.

The soup was Spanish tomato seafood soup, and the appetizer was French baked shelled snails.

There are many ways to cook snails in French cuisine. I don’t know why the French love to study how to cook snails. This feeling is the same as how Chinese people often study how to eat crayfish. What are grilled snails and baked snails? Wild snails are eaten to extinction.

Snail is also one of the four famous dishes in the world.

Han Qi hadn't eaten it before, and it was the first time he tasted it when he came here last time.

The snails in French cuisine are different from the snails that Han Qi has seen before. They are white and fleshy. They can reach about seven or eight centimeters in length, and they can cover more than half of your palm when you grab them.

The roasted snail shell is reddish and has a strong aroma.

Eating snails is equipped with a special tool, which is a kind of clip. When you grab the back and press hard, the front clip will open. At this time, you can use this clip to grab the snails in the plate, and then let go. The snail is firmly fixed on the clip.

At this time, press the meat inside with a fork and pull it, and the meat will come out.

The meat and shell of the snail are actually separated. The chef will put the snail meat back in the shell in order to make the plate look good, and this can also preserve the flavor of the snail meat.

The snail looks scary, but it still tastes good, and its meat is more tender than the snail meat.

Because it is roasted, it also adds a lot of spices.

After eating this grilled snail dish, the main course came up.

Secret grilled ribs.

It was only when Han Qi was eating that he realized that it was lamb ribs, not fully cooked, but it tasted without any smell.And the sauce they serve with it is absolutely amazing.The sweet and sour taste of this black sauce prepared with red wine completely eliminates the fishy smell of lamb.

While eating, it finally started to rain on the street outside. The residents of Helsinki did not have the habit of carrying umbrellas, and they approached the shops to hide from the rain.

Han Qi saw two girls hiding outside the glass, only [-] centimeters away from Han Qi, they turned their heads to see Han Qi, the pretty one smiled kindly, the other one also turned back, and pulled My friend walked a little to the side.

Han Qi touched his face and thought suspiciously, "I don't look like a bad guy, do I?"

His looks are not top-notch handsome both at home and abroad, but they are all above average. In fact, as long as he looks average, he surpasses 60.00% of the people, not to mention that Han Qi is pretty handsome, no As for running away if you are seen?
Han Qi shouted to the waiter not far away: "waiter!"

After checking out, this meal cost 612 euros, and then there is a [-]% service charge. It seems that today's income is considered to be earned from this meal.

Take two umbrellas from the suitcase.

He also handed these two umbrellas to the waiter, and said, "Give these two umbrellas to the two ladies outside, saying that I gave them as gifts."

Fiscetti hesitated to speak.

When Han Qi opened the suitcase just now, he took a look. It seemed that there were only these two umbrellas in it. If you gave them to them, wouldn't you go back?

It would be nice to give it to me.

"You know them?" Fiscetti asked.

"I don't know." Han Qi shook his head, looked at Fiscetti with a confused face, and said with a smile, "It is every gentleman's duty to help ladies, and I think they need these two umbrellas more than we do. What are you afraid of? Are you going to walk back along the street? Or go back by car?"

'Boom...' Someone knocked on the window.

Han Qi followed the prestige, and one of the two girls was opening the umbrella, and the other was holding the umbrella in his hand. Seeing Han Qi looking over, he smiled and said to his lips: "Kiitos..." Then he shook the umbrella in his hand. umbrella.

Han Qi nodded, stretched out his hand and shook it a few times.

Kiitos means thank you in Finnish. After staying here for so long, he already knows some simple and commonly used Finnish vocabulary.

Then Han Qi said to Fiscetti: "Look, I think this kind of gratitude is enough."

Fiscetti still didn't understand.

But he understood that Han Qi was going to leave, so he stood up and said, "This time you treat me to dinner, I will treat you next time. Do you have time tomorrow? I'll take you to our school."

"Yes, you can find me there tomorrow, just tell the front desk about Han Qi." He pointed across the road.

Fiscetti finally knows why Han Qi gave away the umbrella, you don't need it?

People in the past did not expect that there would be so many cars in the 21st century. This busiest street in the center of Finland is only one object with two lanes. It only takes half a minute to walk, not to mention running, without getting wet. what rain.

After finishing speaking, Han Qi left, went back and unfolded the painting to dry, and when it was done, it was considered complete.

Walk out of the restaurant, stand under the canopy of the restaurant to hide from the rain, and wait for the opportunity to cross the road.

There are not many cars, but many bicycles.

After waiting for about 1 minute, there were no cars everywhere, so Han Qi walked over in the rain.Looking back, I saw that Fiscetti was still standing under the canopy and didn't know what to do. It was raining heavily now, and it was very noisy when it fell on the ground.

Han Qi touched the water on his head, took out twenty euros and said to the front desk: "Give an umbrella to the young man opposite, thank you very much."

"Okay, sir."

Cumulus Hotel Meilahti is a four-star hotel, as long as you pay for it, there will be many unexpected services.

After arriving in the room, I looked out the window, then opened the suitcase, unfolded the easel, and fixed the painting on the easel again.

The color of this painting is bright. Although the sunlight on the upper left is fake, it can give people a blinding feeling, and it may even sting after looking at it for a while.And the characters below enjoy the soft sunshine, and it can be seen that people are enjoying it on their faces.

The sun shines on them, and there are also realistic shadows and reflections.

The surrounding scenery is the shops on the street, half closed and half open.

The crowd is generally walking towards the front, which is the direction the artist faces when painting. People enjoy the warmth on their faces, but they seem to be separated from the people around them.In the corner on the right, a person is walking silently with luggage and a bag on his back.

Well, what Han Qi painted was himself.

This is how I felt walking on Karl Johan Street that day.

Although the friends he made in Norway were fairly extroverted, that's true of most Norwegians.However, after arriving in Finland, Han Qi discovered that the Finns are similar. Perhaps several Nordic countries have this personality.

He is very open in front of acquaintances, he can sing and dance, and he is also proficient in wine making and storytelling.

But in front of the outside, it is a look of 'no one cares about me'.

the next day.

Today is a fine day. When we came together, we found that the outside was full of sunshine, pouring into the room, and shining on the painting I placed in front of the window. The dust in the air was clearly visible, flying around slowly.

Feeling lazy, Han Qi quickly focused on the painting.

"Damn! So pretty?"

Those oil paintings in the museum are good, but the light is too bad.

The previous oil paintings, especially the oil paintings of masters, were all admired in a bright place. Under the sunlight, the essence of color can be best displayed.And Han Qi is the kind of painter who is proficient in the use of color. This painting seems to have been upgraded to a higher level by the light.

The previous evaluation was an expert, but now it may be able to touch the edge of a master.

I searched for my phone on the bed, took it out and took a few photos of the painting... I was not satisfied, so I found a single camera and took a quick photo of the painting.

Sure enough, the color is still rich in SLR shots.

I uploaded the photo to my mobile phone via Bluetooth, edited it and posted it on Weibo.

Han Qi who loves to travel (V):
The sunshine in Finland is just right today. I just woke up and saw the light shining on the painting I finished yesterday. Isn't that too shameful?

I love you sun!
This work is called "Daytime on Karl-Johan Street", here you can see it, and it will be exhibited at the gallery 'Rouva Dell' in Bergen in two weeks, this gallery is free, you are welcome to visit me in this gallery works, if you will.

Friendly reminder, when you go to Bergen, remember to bring an umbrella when you go out.

Haha, sorry to see my painting is so beautiful. I was so excited. I went to wash my face and change my clothes. I am going to visit the Helsinki Academy of Fine Arts today.
