If you want to have a wonderful travel time, your choices are not only Paris, Marseille or Lyon. Forget about the city scenery of ancient Gothic buildings and the glitz of the crowds.
There is a completely different path you can choose.
Because most of the young population is moving towards more developed cities, fewer and fewer people are staying in remote villages. The extremely low population has caused extremely slow or even stagnant development.
But in contrast, it is also closer to the natural environment and lower housing prices.
Under the government's policies, more outsiders are attracted to settle here and open B&Bs, injecting vitality into these pastoral villages so that they will not slowly die out.
Southeast France, a countryside near Geneva,
Perhaps it’s because on the way to Switzerland, the population of a few thousand is not that big, but it’s not that small either.
Many of the small houses with triangular roofs are painted in bright golden yellow, with flower pots placed at the door. There are not many traces of modernity. There are simple and clear roads. Standing on the hillside, you can overlook the neat farmland and flower beds.
It took about half an hour to find this village where they had booked a B&B for one night and a special dinner. They jumped out of the Hummer and stretched their bodies after sitting in the car for a day.
In the splendid sunset on the horizon, I took a deep breath of the fresh and delicious air, and looked at the warm village in front of me in the afterglow of the sunset. It had a beauty that was completely opposite to Paris.
"Hey~~Hulu, you chose a good place."
"Humph, that goes without saying."
I was slightly surprised, and had to admit that I, a school girl, was very capable in this area. I just raised my eyebrows and praised,
Fangran immediately saw Tang Bing's little tail raised and he was humming proudly.
"It would be too easy for the four of us to enter a place like this together and leave it to you to register. We will park the car and join you soon."
She did not get out of the car with the two of them. Osphia did not say anything carelessly in the driver's seat. She was also still in the car. Krim also looked at them and chuckled:
"Fangran, Tang Bing, please excuse me."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Knowing how eye-catching Osphia and Kerim's appearance would be in such a small village, Fangran accepted the task with great confidence.
Just looking at him patting his chest, Tang Bing silently complained:
"Senior, you are a foreigner who doesn't know a word of French, where do you get your confidence..."
"Ruluse (expressionless)."
There were no twists and turns at all. In a rural area where it only took less than an hour to walk from one end to the other, Fang Ran and Tang Bing found the B&B they had booked directly on the hillside.
This is probably the best location in the whole village, with two large houses connected together and a well-tended garden surrounding the yard.
The owners of the house are a very kind old couple. They came here from Germany to live and retire. Apparently they don't care about the quality of the business. They just find something to do in their spare time, so they turned another idle house into a small business.
Small B&B.
Standing on the hillside and looking at the sunset in the village, the breeze blows in the hair, the task is about to be completed, and the mood is incredibly relaxed and joyful at this moment.
"Have you confirmed everything?"
Seeing that Tang Bing seemed to be very popular with the old man and negotiated the accommodation matter with her superb sociability, Fangran asked curiously when she saw her waving her hands cheerfully at the end:
"And Gourd, what are you talking about? You are as happy as a flower."
"Senior, let me tell you, that old couple are super nice! Not only will they prepare special dishes for us for dinner, but they can also use the ingredients in the kitchen freely!"
Hearing Fang Ran ask, Tang Bing suddenly said to him excitedly and happily, and then put his face in his hands with an embarrassed giggle:
“And just now, people said, ‘What a beautiful and cheerful foreign girl’, hehehe~”
"No, I think that's just a polite word."
"Senior, shut up (expressionless)."
Facing the spacious garden, the slightly decorated living room has a row of glass doors, and the wide view allows people to look into the distance from indoors.
In the center of the yard surrounded by flower beds and flower pots, there is a large wooden table that looks like a tree trunk cut in half.
Although it is not as good as the business hotel that several people stayed in in the 7th district of Paris before, the small B&B shows its charm no matter where it is.
——Love life.
“It’s a beautiful place, and it looks like it has an owner who knows how to take care of it.”
Following Osphia in an unnoticed direction, Krim glanced at the B&B and chuckled at the sight of the river flowing far down the hillside.
"There are still more than three hours left, what to do next?"
"ah..."
Fangran asked while being stared at by Osphia's blue eyes. Fangran didn't know how to arrange his voice, but Tang Bing on the side made an excited suggestion:
"Cooking! Cooking! Let's make something by ourselves!"
prepare dinner....
Seeing her energetic appearance, the three of them remembered that under normal circumstances, it was already time to have dinner.
But when she heard her mention this, Osphia's blue eyes flickered slightly, and Krim showed a helpless smile and said:
"I'm sorry to say this, but if it's just a sandwich, I can make it."
And by perfectly using his extra powers of observation in superfluous places, he instantly discovered the fact that both the former noble lady who lived a high-class life and the super genius who probably spent all his time on scientific research and experiments couldn't cook.
Fangran raised the corners of his mouth and puffed up his chest. When Tang Bing seemed to have discovered that neither Osphia nor Kerim knew how to cook and looked at him,
He made a sound and finally won a hand, with a confident smile belonging to the strong:
"I can fry ham sausage."
"(╬°Д°)? Shut up! Senior, you loser!"
After just a few days of getting along, I have discovered that Fangran is hopelessly useless in some areas, but at the same time, he also has a mysterious self-confidence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tang Bing felt that he was a fool for still holding on to hope and glancing at him.
Since two of the four people in the team live in the upper class and don’t need to cook for themselves, the final division of labor in preparing dinner was arranged.
Tang Bing (and Fang Ran, who was basically useless) were in charge of cooking, while Osphia and Kerim were in charge of shopping.
"Gourd! What should we do first!?"
In the kitchen, looking at the many vegetables and ingredients in the refrigerator, Fangran's eyes already lit up with the desire to eat a big meal.
After putting on her apron and retying her ponytail, her movements were skillful and simple. The girl's figure standing in the kitchen seemed a little brighter for some reason. When she heard what he said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes in a speechless and charming way:
"Senior, you're a guy who only knows how to fry ham, so don't ask about such crucial decisions. Just wash the vegetables first."
"Huh, wash the vegetables, someone like me who once manipulated the water element to stir up the entire ocean..."
"Don't be fooled, hurry up and take a shower."
"oh."
...
Lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and a few cherries. Strictly following the instructions of his schoolmate, Fangran, holding a pile of ingredients in a metal bowl, hummed an old melody and started washing vegetables seriously.
While holding a kitchen knife on the other side, he cut various meats and vegetables on the cutting board with a clear and continuous sound, showing quite good cooking skills with his light movements.
While he was skillfully lighting the fire and pouring oil, Tang Bing couldn't help but sneak a glance at Fang Ran beside him, and found that he was working hard on her. There was always a feeling of living together, and his face turned slightly red.
"Hey...Senior, I didn't expect you to be working seriously..."
I don't know why his social skills failed at this time. Tang Bing kept glancing at him a few times. Finally, he didn't know why he started with this mocking topic.
Instead of paying too much attention to it, Fangran just rolled his eyes as he got used to it:
"Otherwise, Hulu, do you think I should be lazy..."
"No...I just thought, senior, you must be disappointed that you couldn't go shopping with Osphia..."
Pour the chopped ingredients into the pot, Tang Bing turned his head and muttered secretly while stirring:
"After all, a young boy like you, senior, would definitely want to be alone with a beautiful foreign girl, and then in a beautiful village in France, when no one is paying attention, something like a collision with a ball would happen..."
Fangran silently took out the paper fan.
"Hey! Senior, what do you want to do with that thing!"
The moment he took out the anti-gourd treasure, Tang Bing, who was muttering quietly a second ago, immediately jumped to the side with his head in his hands.
Looking speechlessly at a gourd who was careless and trying to drive secretly, Fangran stared at her silently for three seconds.
Then he sighed very vicissitudes of life, seeming to lament that life would only be like looking at the sky when we first saw it:
"Hulu, you know, I feel more and more now that you are simply a thorn..."
After hearing Fang Ran describe himself like this, Tang Bing, who still held his head and did not let down his guard, took over his words, blinked and happily guessed:
"Rose?"
"No, cucumber."
(?_?╬) Tang Bing: "..."
Silently picking up a cucumber from the dishes he had washed, Tang Bing stared at Fangran's expressionless words:
"Senior, I'll give you three seconds to come up with an explanation that will prevent me from beating you to death."
