"Look, that is my home, and it will also be your home in the next few days. Not bad, this is the tallest house around. It has a history of more than 200 years. It has always belonged to our Baggio family!" After more than half a day,
After an hour of bumpy driving, BB yelled and danced, pointing to a building on a small hill in front of him on the left to introduce to the people in the car that he had arrived at their home.
As for how big the house is, he can't see clearly yet, and he has no way of verifying whether that small mound is the highest in this area. Anyway, this area is full of mounds like this, one after another. But the scenery here is very good.
Not only is there a house, most of the rest are woods, and there is a small river on the left.
When the car climbed up to the top of the mound, Hong Tao finally saw the buildings clearly. Most of them were made of stone. The highest one had three floors and the lowest one had only one. They were built from various angles.
It was piled up to form a large building. It wouldn't look like a castle, but it was a bit big to call it a stone house. It would be more accurate to call it a pile of stone houses.
In front of the stone house is a large courtyard, very large, almost catching up with the courtyards in rural areas of our country. Basically, the top of this small mound is flattened, one-third is the house, and two-thirds is the courtyard. The edge of the courtyard
There is also a low wall that is only as high as the chest, presumably to prevent livestock from escaping. This height cannot prevent humans.
As soon as BB's car entered the yard, a large group of people rushed out from these buildings, ranging from old ladies and men in their eighties to naked children who could not walk unsteadily. They surrounded the car tightly.
From time to time, there are adults and children lying on the glass looking in or saying hello, most of them with smiles on their faces.
Until they entered the house, Hong Tao and Wang Jian didn't figure out the specific relationship between these people and BB. Anyway, there were 2 grandfathers, 3 grandmothers, father, mother, second uncle, third uncle, four aunt and so on.
, there are too many brothers and sisters to count, and even the youngest ones are nephews, nieces and the like.
This time, Hong Tao really experienced the enthusiasm of the Italians. Except for Mr. and Mrs. BB, most of them did not speak English, but this did not prevent them from expressing cordial greetings to the arrival of Hong Tao and the others. They did not care about you either.
Whether you understand or not, I just say it to you. Of course, before that, I have to give you a hug and touch your cheek. After the left cheek, the right cheek, after the right cheek, then the left cheek, it seems that it is not one side.
Italians have a very annoying habit, that is, whether they are chatting or quarreling, their hands are never idle. They always hold their fingers in front of them like chicken claws. With their palms facing up, their fingers follow the speed of their words.
One moment I squeeze it tightly, and another moment I let it go, like two fleshy flowers.
It doesn’t matter if it’s just one person, but if there are 7 or 8 people in front of you, it’s a bit dazzling and dizzying, and it seriously affects the concentration of the brain. You don’t know whether to look into the eyes of the person you are talking to, or to stare.
his hands.
"Dumplings. This place seems to be more lively than your grandma's house. I really like the feeling of a whole family living together. They are very close to each other and they are so excited when they talk about everything." Pan also said
She understands Italian, but that doesn't stop her from enjoying the time with a smile and hugging a child with a runny nose.
"You only saw the thief eating meat, but you didn't see the thief being beaten! It's good when it's good, but once conflicts arise between them, it will be very troublesome." Hong Tao was too embarrassed to tell Pan that this was the case for the old man and the old lady.
Once they leave, who should own these properties? Will they be treated like hot kilns?
In fact, Hong Tao knows that many countries in Europe and the United States implement the primogeniture system. Generally, family property, especially real estate or family businesses, will mostly be inherited solely by the eldest son or one of the sons. This can effectively preserve the integrity of the family's industry and also reduce costs.
A lot of unnecessary trouble.
From the day they became sensible, other children in the family knew that the property would not eventually belong to them, so they stopped worrying about it and went out to start a business when they should go out to eat. Those who should stay at home to help also felt free to help.
, there is nothing wrong with it.
Our country is different in this regard. Especially after liberation, the so-called primogeniture system was abolished and everyone was equal. As a result, once the old man and old lady left, the brothers and sisters started to compete with the inheritance of the house. You
More and less, I can't say that brothers in every family turn against each other, but this phenomenon also occurs in endlessly.
In addition, another popular method in rural China is to divide the family. Once the sons get married, all the family property is divided almost equally, and the old man and old woman take turns supporting one or more families. It sounds good, but
Old people who have lost their property will soon become a burden and burden for their children, and the word "filial piety" has become a decoration. It is easy to imagine whether the old people live comfortably or not.
The most unreasonable ones are the rich and entrepreneurs. Their property may eventually be divided equally among several children. This is in line with the principle of equality for everyone. However, once these enterprises are split up, the funds will definitely be dispersed.
The strength of the company has definitely declined, not to mention that after three generations, I am afraid that it will no longer be
Once divided, these family businesses will no longer be found, and they will all be scattered into pieces. This is one of the reasons why after so many years of reform and opening up in China, it is basically impossible to find big families or big family businesses, except for those official and business families. They are not Chinese
People should be the enemies of the Chinese, worse than the Japanese!
The conditions in BB's house are quite good, just like our affluent villages in China. The first thing with the most is the house, open to live in! One person has one room, which is not enough. Although not every house has bathroom and shower facilities, every house has a bathroom and shower facilities.
There are at least two toilets and bathrooms on each floor. Compared with those youth hostels, the conditions are not bad at all.
The first dinner after staying at BB's house was quite large. The dining venue was the open space in front of the house. The dining table made up of several dining tables was ten meters long. BB's whole family put on clean clothes and sat at the dining table.
On both sides, Hong Tao and the other three were arranged as guests.
In the middle of the table, Pan and Hong Tao were next to each other, and BB and Wang Jian were sitting opposite them. Hong Tao counted them quietly before the food was served. Well, even for children and adults, it was a full 35 mouthfuls.
It must be the total number of BB's whole family, maybe there are still a few who haven't come back.
This is Hong Tao's first serious taste of Italian food, and it must be 100% Italian food, without any impurities or improvements. Generally speaking, it is more suitable for Chinese tastes than German food, but the taste is bland and not good.
Too reluctant to add salt.
Hong Tao's favorites are salmon fried in red wine and huge veal steak. It is in the shape of a triangle, each piece must weigh at least 2 pounds, and there is a bone in it. It tastes very tender and juicy, but not greasy.
Even Pan killed a whole piece by himself.
The most interesting thing is a kind of stuffed Italian pizza. When it was first served, Hong Tao thought it was a big bun with minced chicken and a kind of cheese in it, which was probably similar to what we often call cheese.
The taste is pretty good. But after consulting BB, I realized that this is not a meat bun, but a very authentic Italian pizza.
Everyone in Italy is a wine putty! This is Hong Tao’s deepest feeling after eating this meal. No matter whether it is an old man or an old lady or a young girl or a young wife, not only does everyone have a glass of red wine in their hands during the meal, but they also have to drink it for a while after eating.
It's a dry drink, no food or snacks.
Pan likes the wine here very much, saying it is no better than the wines from France and Germany. Wang Jian is also pretending to be a dog with a cup in hand, and from time to time he discusses the vintage of the wine with BB. Hong Tao is very fond of wine.
There was no research on it. It was sour and astringent. He really didn't get any aftertaste from the drink, let alone the violet or strawberry taste they mentioned.
In addition to red wine, Italians also have another drink that they never leave their hands on, which is coffee. It shouldn’t be said to be one kind, but N kinds, all kinds of different colors, and the cups used to hold these coffees
It was also different. One moment, the porcelain cup that was served was the size of an eight-cent wine cup, and the next one was several times larger.
