Everyone dragged their own small suitcases, and Fang Yi and the other three arrived in Italy. The hotel in Italy was arranged by Tony, and Fang Yi was given a luxurious suite in the best hotel in Florence. However, Zhang Xu and Li
Lin and his wife did not receive such treatment.
Tony has the power to open a hotel room for Fang Yi, but he does not have the power to open a room for Zhang and Xu with public funds. As for paying privately, Tony, an Italian, does not have such a noble consciousness, so Zhang Xu and Zhang Xu have to pay for it themselves.
dig.
After picking up Fang Yi and the others, they were sent to the hotel. Tony chatted with the three of them for a long time and was considered a receptionist.
Half an hour later, Tony stood up from the chair in Fang Yi's room, smiled at Fang Yi and said, "You should rest early. I'll go back first. I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow morning?"
.
"No, I can just ask the lobby to call a taxi. I will be there as soon as you open the museum!" Fang Yi smiled and nodded at Tony.
After Tony and Fang Yi finished talking, he turned to Li Lin and Zhang Xu and said, "I'm so sorry!" Knowing that he didn't help with booking a room, it proved that Tony knew a little bit about the etiquette between Chinese people.
, which can be regarded as some kind of salvation.
"Nothing!" Zhang Xu and the two laughed after hearing this.
After saying this, Tony turned around and left the room. Fang Yi and the others sent Tony to the door, and then returned to the room.
Li Lin sat back on the sofa and said jokingly: "Fortunately, I have some money in my pocket. If no one would have invited me to a decent hotel today, foreigners would be very clear about this matter! You
This old boy said he had to pay for it himself, and he didn't have any courtesy at all, so he just agreed!"
Fang Yi said to Li Lin: "How can their hotel have so much money? I don't know how much money he wasted to get me a room like this. I'm not short of this money, so I'll pay for it myself!"
.
Tony’s museum is not a big business. Italy’s economy is neither good nor bad. Anyway, it’s just like this. Tony’s museum is just like the Italian economy. It’s good or bad.
It's true that it's rich. The things hidden inside are worth a lot of money. It's true that it's moneyless, because these art museums don't have the ability or courage to cash them in.
Fang Yi had known about this situation for a long time. If he hadn't been there, he wouldn't have helped Tony book a room in New York. With Tony's so-called travel expenses, it was unthinkable to live in Fang Yi's room every day for so little money.
The museum is not a facade that big companies pay attention to. The museum itself is a business card, and in some respects, most of the people in the museum are cultural people.
Zhang Xu asked Fang Yi: "Forget about these stingy Europeans, let me ask you if there is anything interesting here? Give us some pointers, and the two of us will start visiting Florence tomorrow morning."
Fang Yi thought for a while and said: "There are so many places. Tomorrow you can go to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Famous attractions include Pitti Palace, Cathedral Square, *Li Gardens, Uffizi Gallery...
…”.
"Stop it! Is there anything that has nothing to do with art?" Zhang Xu raised his hand to Fang Yi and made a stop gesture. He looked at Fang Yi and said as soon as he stopped talking.
"Then I don't know. There should be some in the so-called bar style area. I haven't been there, so you have to discover it yourself." Fang Yi looked at Zhang Xu and said, "What are you going to see when you come to Florence if you don't see art? This is the most famous place.
It is art, and there is nothing left but art.”
Li Lin smiled after hearing this and said: "I feel that my artistic skills have been improving during this period. I don't want to go see art tomorrow. I want to find a good restaurant to have a big meal. What I'm eating these days."
I don’t even care, let’s see if there are any authentic Chinese restaurants here. Feed my stomach well!”
"Li Lin still understands me. What do you think I have eaten these days?" Zhang Xu immediately raised his hand and said in agreement with Li Lin.
"Then you go online, I don't know how to help you find this thing!" Fang Yi spread his hands a little impatiently and said. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "You guys search online. This thing is so popular online.
That’s a lot!”.
"Do you think our English is very good?" Zhang Xu stretched out his hand and pulled it between himself and Li Lin twice and asked Fang Yi: "Now we are counting on you!".
Fang Yi couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this, stood up from the sofa and walked to his suitcase to take out his notebook.
"Don't take it, it's right here!" Zhang Xu somehow took out one from his side and shook it at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi took the notebook and helped the two foodies search for Chinese restaurants online.
"I think it's not too late now, why don't we set off?" Zhang Xu couldn't help it when he heard Fang Yi say that this restaurant was only a few blocks away from the hotel where the three of them were staying.
and Li Lin said.
When Li Lin heard this, he also said: "Then let's go?"
Fang Yi also thought it was good after hearing this. He felt that when he heard about the authentic domestic Sichuan-style restaurants, he was a little eager to try them.
If you feel like this, what else can you say? Let's all put on our coats and go together. In the room, Fang Yi called the service desk downstairs and asked the staff to help him book a car and waited for the car to arrive.
Fang Yi and the others went downstairs and ran towards the restaurant.
It took thirty minutes for the three of them to sit down in the lobby of the restaurant and start ordering.
"The business here is really good. There are no private rooms at this point," Fang Yi said as he glanced at the almost full seats around him.
Li Lin also nodded: "Yes! There are many thieves!" After speaking, he said to the waiter who came to him: "Please serve us some tea first!".
"Please wait a moment." The waiter smiled at Li Lin and continued to remember Zhang Xu's order.
"What do you specialize in here? Big fish and big meat!" Zhang Xu asked the waiter while flipping through the two menus with contrasting texts.
"The blood is strong, the pig's trotters are soy sauce..." the waiter said five or six things in a row.
As soon as Zhang Xu heard this, he immediately said: "Give me a portion of this first!".
"You are really capable," Fang Yi said quickly after hearing so much.
"Eat slowly. Anyway, the next few brothers will have nothing to do. We are not afraid of you, a person who only sleeps four or five hours a day. What should we be afraid of?" Zhang Xu looked at Fang Yi and said jokingly.
After hearing this, Fang Yi could only smile and said nothing. After waiting for the tea to come, he listened to Li Lin and Zhang Xu discussing where to eat after playing tomorrow, and then turned his head to look at the crowd around him.
As soon as Fang Yi turned around, he saw something that aroused his interest. In the corner of the restaurant hall, there was a young man sitting there, wearing a thin glove with five fingers exposed. He placed it on the stool next to the young man.
Carrying a small painting box. Needless to say, this is a young artist!
If he were in other places, Fang Yi wouldn't have much interest in such a foreign artistic young man. But in the Chinese restaurant and judging by the appearance of this person, the food was quite bold and the plate was full.
The young man scooped the fried rice into his mouth one spoonful at a time. The posture did not look like eating, but a bit like a pig fighting for food.
Fang Yi looked at this young man who was completely different from the atmosphere in the restaurant, with a smile on his face.
Soon the young man found someone looking at him. He turned his head and saw Fang Yi with a smile. When he saw the young man looking at him, Fang Yi raised the tea cup in his hand and smiled lightly.
He smiled, and then turned his face to Zhang Xu and Li Lin.
Facing Fang Yi's return smile, the young man turned his head and continued to eat his fried rice. However, after taking two bites, the young man was stunned, and even his mouth was full of rice.
He forgot to chew, so he opened his mouth and turned his face back to Fang Yi.
After waiting to see Fang Yi's face clearly, he couldn't help but subconsciously rub his eyes, and then stared at Fang Yi with his eyes as wide as brass bells. Then the young man coughed.
At the same time, a mouthful of rice squirted all over his small tabletop.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The young man immediately apologized to the guests who were looking at him. As he said this, he took out the paper towels on the table and started to gather the rice on the table and push it into the trash can under the table.
After cleaning up everything, the young man held the remaining half of his plate of rice with both hands, but his face still looked towards Fang Yi. The look on his face was quite complicated.
The waiter seemed to be familiar with the young man. Looking at the young man's appearance, he walked over and asked: "Loretto! What's wrong with you and looking at others like this? Do you know this person?".
"He is Fang, Lu Qi," Loreto whispered to the waiter Lu Qi. As he spoke, he raised his head and pointed in the direction where Fang Yi was sitting.
"What square?" Lu Qi knew who Fang Yi was, but now Loreto only said the word "square" and she didn't realize it. There are not many Chinese people living in Europe and the United States who don't know it.
Fang Yi is now famous. He is more powerful than Europeans in oil painting and has been recognized by Europeans and Americans. Not everyone can be called Little Raphael. To put it bluntly, overseas Chinese are a bit jealous when mentioning Fang Yilai.
Emotions such as pride and pride.
"Yifang! The master of postclassicism, the one who is called the founder of postclassicism together with Bobiel! He's in the United States!" Loreto said to Lu Qi.
After hearing Yi? Fang Luqi knew who Loreto was talking about, but she still didn't believe that the person sitting over there in this small restaurant was Fang Yi. There was always a difference between what she saw in newspapers and in reality.
It's not the same at all, and Loreto's ability to see Chinese people really doesn't convince Lu Qi.
"Are you sure it's Fang Yi?" Lu Qi asked Loreto.
"Yeah!" Loreto nodded and said affirmatively: "I don't know other Asians, but I know him!" Loreto is now a die-hard fan of Fang Yi's techniques, and Fang Yi's
I have read the set of techniques for seventy or eighty times, if not a hundred times. To put it bluntly, sometimes when Loreto dreams at night, he thinks of Fang Yi demonstrating the post-classical sutra techniques to himself.
Seeing Lu Qi still standing next to him, Loreto said: "If you don't believe it, go and ask and you will know!".
After hearing what Loreto said, Lu Qi walked towards Fang Yi's table.
"Hurry up our food, we almost drank a pot of water." Zhang Xu saw Lu Qi coming over and made a little joke to others, while urging his own food.
"It's almost ready!" Lu Qi smiled at Zhang Xu and said. This statement was very Chinese, which made Fang Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking of the most unbelievable words summarized by netizens on the Internet, among which
In one sentence, the waiter in the restaurant tells you that the food will be ready soon.
Fang Yi was enjoying himself when he heard the waiter Lu Qi ask him: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Fang Yi?".
Hearing this question, Fang Yi nodded and said, "It's me, do you know me?" Fang Yi really didn't expect that a waiter in the restaurant could recognize him. He felt that even if he was famous, he would only be in the art circle.
Speaking of which, Lu Qi really recognized her and Fang Yi thought it was a bit unexpected.
"You are so true!" Lu Qi was happy when she heard this. She looked at Fang Yi and didn't know what to say after finishing this sentence. She wanted an autograph. She thought Fang Yi was an artist but not a star. Would this be the case?
Can't do it well? I want to say something but don't know where to start.
Fang Yi was still waiting for the little waitress to continue talking, but seeing the girl looking at him and only caring about himself, he couldn't understand what was wrong with this girl.
"I'll order the dishes for you!" Lu Qi was stunned for a few seconds and then said to Fang Yi. After that, she happily walked towards the kitchen.
"Are you so popular abroad that it's outrageous?" Zhang Xu asked Fang Yi, looking at the situation in front of him.
Fang Yi shook his head: "It's probably a coincidence!".
Li Lin listened and said: "Yes, you see, we have been working for a long time, and the boss has not come to say hello. As for the exemption, I think there is no hope!" After speaking, he looked at Fang Yi with encouraging eyes: "You
We have to keep working hard! Try to get into the realm of paying no bills just by showing off your face." (To be continued)
