Chapter 283 Reception
The road ahead was getting more and more desolate. Even if Han Qi couldn't remember the way he came here, he clearly understood that there could be no such wild open space on that road.

I walked all the way along the street.

Han Qi leaned forward on the seat and asked the driver, "Hello, where are you going?"

The driver's English was not good, but he understood what Han Qi asked, and replied, "To Kangtao Manor, sir, are you...wrong?"

Han Qi sighed, shrugged and said, "You're right, I might have gone completely wrong."

I came to Rome from the airport. It stands to reason that even if I got lost, it would not be so outrageous, but I got lost in the outskirts of the city.

This is a city with 400 million people. Today, Han Qi walked for a long time, and the places he visited were all very prosperous places. How could it be so easy to reach the city border?

But in fact it was that coincidental.

When he got lost and got on the wrong bus, he was sent from the city to the outside of the city in just one hour.

However, now that it has happened, there is no use in regretting.

After so many trips, it would be strange if the wind has always been smooth.

So Han Qi returned to his seat and sat down, looking at the few passengers in the car, and they also looked at him, some were just watching the fun, and some had doubts or worries in their eyes.

A single foreign tourist who takes the wrong bus and does not know the common language is indeed a cause for concern.

Behind Han Qi, a brother in his thirties said after Han Qi returned to his seat, "Brother, where are you from?"

"Me, I'm from Huaxia."

"WOW, Huaxia cuisine is really delicious, good place." He boasted a few words, and then said, "This is the ruins of ancient Rome, if it is during the day, there must be many tourists in this car, but at this time they They're all on the bus back to Rome."

"Yeah, it's getting late."

Tourists who come to Rome at this time will choose to rest in the city, and those who have been to the ruins of the ancient city during the day will only return at this time.

That's why this car is so empty, only some locals are sitting.

Han Qi asked: "Is that ruins the terminal?"

"No, I just told you that this is the ruins, but if this car continues to drive, the end point will be a wine estate. Tomorrow, this estate will sell a batch of wine. I want to go and see if I can buy one or two. Save the box at home." He pointed to the few people in front of him, "I guess there are at least five people who think the same as me."

"Specially buy wine?"

"Yes, the wine here tastes very good, and the annual share is booked out by foreign countries, but if there is more, the winery will sell it to individual tourists around."

Anyway, being idle is idle, neither of them was tired, and they chatted a lot on the way.

The owner of the winery is very kind. Since the beginning of winemaking, he has reserved some wine shares for people around the winery and sold them to individual tourists at market prices.

Yes, only for individual customers.

In the past, a batch was specially reserved, but now that the business is getting bigger and bigger, they can no longer intentionally retain it, because there are many conditions for producing good wines, and those that are slightly unqualified will be eliminated, and some years may not even be completed when the vintage is not good. Naturally, there is no way to sell the order to others.

2019 and 2020 happened to be two bad years.

It's only slightly better this year, and there are still some left after the order is completed.

"So tomorrow is the first time they've sold you alcohol in three years?"

"exactly."

Han Qi nodded and asked again: "Then is this wine expensive?"

"I don't know how much it sells abroad, but the price it sells to us is not expensive. A box of six bottles is only six to seven hundred euros... But I don't know if the price has increased this year."

After all, this is the first time in three years.

The car continued to drive forward, and in the darkness, Han Qi saw the ruins of ancient Rome in the distance.

The complete building no longer exists, only the dilapidated ancient Roman colonnade still stands there, proudly and noblely telling the once incomparable history.

Han Qi didn't get out of the car, he was going to follow the car to the winery to have a look.

There must be a lot of people, that's absolutely true.Because according to this old man, the wine here is in high demand. Even if you don’t drink it yourself, you can still make money by selling it second-hand. The city of Rome is so big that there are everyone, and there must be many people who like to drink.

The ancient city was left far behind.

Half an hour later, the driver honked the horn twice to remind the people in the seats that they had arrived.

Han Qi also looked out, and it was indeed very clean here, with fewer people than in Rome.

After Han Qi got off the car, he looked around curiously.

Not to mention the high-rise buildings, but it is similar to the average European town.

What is more special is a scent, with a hint of alcohol, but more of a grape aroma... This fermented and non-corruptible aroma fascinated Han Qi, and he took a few more breaths unconsciously, feeling the aroma in his nasal cavity. A little bit of booze.

The bus pulled over to let its passengers off, and in a few minutes the bus was about to turn around and head back to Rome.

Han Qi was about to go forward when the driver suddenly came after him and said to Han Qi:

"Brother, are you going back to Rome? No charge."

He uttered these few words with some difficulty. The accent made Han Qi guess for a while before he understood what he meant. He shook his head and said:
"I'm going to go shopping here for a while, and I'll consider whether to go back later."

"it is good."

The driver wanted to remind Han Qi something, subconsciously said a lot of Italian, and then remembered that Han Qi could not understand, and said: "We are the last bus, if you don't get on, you can only take the train, or take a taxi. car,"

Still not standard, Han Qi half-heard and half-guessed what he meant.

"Thank you for your help, I understand."

Having said that, the driver is not easy to persuade, anyway, this is the tourist's own choice.

Han Qi continued to walk along the street.

Now I don’t have to worry about getting lost when walking. If I encounter any hotel on the road, if I’m tired, I just go in and stay for one night.

There is no need to worry in Rome. Anyway, Han Qi reserved a large amount of money when he booked the hotel. As long as Han Qi does not check out, they will automatically allocate funds from the reserved funds. At least the safety of the luggage is guaranteed. .

Now Han Qi wants to know what wineries in Europe look like.

Not to mention wineries in Europe, he has never even seen a winery in China.

If you have to talk about the place where the wine is made...then he has only seen it in Yibin.

Yibin is not a winery, but an almost completely industrialized distilled liquor production base, and the taste of the distiller's grains is really not very good, and a large amount of them will have a particularly strong and pungent taste.

I don't know how this winery solved it at all, and I didn't smell any bad smells on the road.

Most of the street goods are also related to red wine.

Don't look at the sun setting, but there are still a lot of people in this small market, and there is no sign of weakening at all.Han Qi also saw the 30-year-old uncle in the car, he was talking about something with a friend he knew.

He talked excitedly, so he didn't see Han Qi coming towards him, which made Han Qi's idea of ​​saying hello in vain, but in the next second, Han Qi's face changed, and his hand suddenly grabbed towards the front.

A person's arm happened to be caught by Han Qi.

The wallet fell from his hand immediately.

This scene was noticed by the elder brother who came back to his senses. He was startled for a while, and then showed an angry expression at the person caught by Han Qi.

"Are you stealing my money?"

"No, it's him! This foreigner stole your wallet!"

The thief beat him up, trying to frame Han Qi.

After all, this is an Asian, and the horror legends of East Asian gangsters have always been a magic weapon for Europeans to scare children.

But the elder brother has a violent temper. He looked at Han Qi and knew that this was the friend he had chatted with for almost an hour in the car. How could he be the thief in this population... Those clothes are definitely high-end goods, and they can be bought easily. People who buy such clothes will be short of money?
"You're still quibbling!" The elder brother kicked the man in the chest, sending the 100-jin man flying two meters away.

"Fuck!" Han Qi was taken aback.

Before he could figure out what happened, he just remembered that he had grabbed the thief's hand.

It's terrible not to understand Italian, Han Qi thought to himself.

Han Qi could have grabbed this person desperately, but in the end he chose to do nothing and quietly retreated into the crowd of onlookers.

A few people gave him a seat and were more friendly... To be honest, as long as you have a brain, you know that it is impossible for Han Qi to steal money, because they have never heard of a foreign tourist who would do such a stupid thing.

Is Rome really safe?
Han Qi looked at the thief who was beaten violently, and he had a deeper evaluation of this sentence in his heart.

If it's really the zero-count crimes mentioned on the Internet, then what is this scene in front of you? You can't be so lucky, you can always meet two people fighting, right?
After being kicked, the thief also broke free, stood up and ran away.

The man walked towards Han Qi with his wallet and said with a smile, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have been stolen by him today. Although there is not much cash, it will always affect tomorrow's money." Mood, is your surname Han?"

"Yes, my name is Han Qi."

"I'm Ronion Button, how about this, in order to thank you for your help, I invite you to eat."

"No need," Han Qi subconsciously refused.

"You don't speak Italian well, so it's settled."

He knew that Han Qi hadn't eaten, just like himself now.

The two have been waiting in the car since five o'clock, how could they have time to eat?So Ronnie wanted to drag Han Qi with him, and the person he chatted with had no objection to this.

Having said that, it was a woman who chatted with Ronion before.

A very young woman, at least for Ronion, about twenty-five.

After staying in Europe for a long time and seeing more people, Han Qi has a clearer understanding of the prosopagnosia of white people, and he can roughly guess the age of white people.

Respect is worse than obedience, Han Qi is also hungry.

It's not easy to find a good restaurant on this small street. One thing to say, the places where you can eat are too small.Han Qi understands that this is only the periphery of the winery, and all the bosses here are attached to the winery, and most of the business they do is also related to wine.

On the way, Ronnie introduced the women around him to Han Qi.

Evelina Leticia
Contrary to what Han Qi guessed, he originally thought that there was something wrong between the two, but now he found that when they talked, they were more like old friends, or a pair of brothers and sisters, and both of them also had their own families, Evie Lina also came to buy wine for her husband this time.

People who love to drink are easy to make friends with people who love to drink.

Indeed, this is a very common way of socializing in the West.

After walking for a long time, the three of them finally found a decent restaurant and hurried in. After sitting down, Ronnie shouted:

"What do you have to eat here?"

The boss came out to entertain the guests.

Through the glass in the store and the kitchen, Han Qi can see the women busy in the transparent kitchen.

This should be a mom and pop shop.

After traveling to so many places, Han Qi trusts this mom-and-pop shop very much.It's impossible for a person with no skills to open a restaurant regardless of everything. After all, there are many places to spend money after marriage. If you don't make money, open a mom-and-pop restaurant to drink Northwest Wind?

Evelina wiped the oil on the table in front of her with a paper towel, then put her hands on it and asked Han Qi:
"Are you also here specifically for tomorrow's reception?"

"No, I'm just..." Han Qi looked at Ronion, sighed and said, "I got lost here, and I heard the news about tomorrow's reception from Brother Ronion, so I came to see the excitement. I won't grab a drink with you."

"Get lost? Haha, really? I'm not worried about it. If you have a chance, you must buy more. After you taste it, you will know why we like this brand."

Indeed, the smell of wine in this place alone is worth buying.

Han Qi asked a question that he really wanted to know: "When the eldest brother beat someone just now, don't you worry that someone will call the police and the police will arrest you?"

"Catch me, why?"

Ronnie smiled honestly and said: "There is no police here, and the nearest patrol spot is five kilometers away from here, not to mention that they are off work now, so it is even more impossible to patrol our place coming."

Evelina also said:
"This is a private winery, and the police don't come here very often. What's more, what was caught today was a thief. No one will call the police when they beat a thief... Besides, the police won't take care of this kind of petty theft, at most. If it’s released in two days, it’s better to fight one game.”

Whoa!This beauty is so hot.

After a while, the dishes came.

This kind of place cooks Italian food, of course.

Most dishes of Italian cuisine are typical Mediterranean style.

What is a Mediterranean-style diet like?

To put it simply, he eats wheat as the staple food, cooks with olive oil, likes to drink wine, and has a high proportion of vegetables, fruits, and seafood in his diet.Residents living along the Mediterranean Sea generally live longer, and many people believe that this is related to a nutritionally balanced Mediterranean diet.
