Golden Greenery

Although Zhuoyang has stayed in Italy for three years, he is not familiar with Turin. He has not been to Turin specifically except for playing games.

Turin is the third largest city in Italy and was also the capital. Speaking of which, this city is quite good, with a large number of Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical-style buildings. If you really want to travel, you will gain something.

Turin suffers from comparison. It does not lack elements such as culture, fashion, classics, and art. However, in these aspects, it is ruthlessly crushed by Milan, Rome, Florence, Genoa, Venice and other places. So after seeing and eating it, the only different impression Turin leaves on outsiders is its industry. It is the most industrialized city in Italy.

Have you ever seen anyone traveling to the United States who made a special trip to Detroit? This is why Zhuo Yang has never been to Turin.

Real Madrid came to Turin for a game and stayed at the Golden Palace Hotel, about five kilometers away from the Alpi Stadium. Champions League games usually start at 20:45 GMT and end very late. If they don't want to bother, most teams will rest on the spot for one night and go home slowly the next day.

Madrid is more than a thousand kilometers away from Turin, which is roughly equivalent to Beijing to Shanghai. Real Madrid doesn't need to bother, as the wealthy clubs have no shortage of money for five-star hotels.

When the brothers arrived in Turin, Brother Meng always wanted to find a way to show his loyalty to the landlord, so after the game, after washing up, he drove Zhuo Yang directly from the Alpi Stadium to the LaMadia restaurant.

Lamadia is not in the city center, but on the east bank of the Po River, which is slightly remote. The Po River is the largest river in Italy, running through the city of Turin. It originates from the southwestern foothills of the Alps, turns from west to east in northern Italy, and then flows from Venice into the Adriatic Sea.

But La Madia Restaurant is not far from the golden palace where Real Madrid stays, and the straight-line distance across the river is only three kilometers. Brother Meng has spent many years in Turin, and he knows what is best for dinner parties.

When you come to Turin in late autumn, it would be better not to come if you don’t eat white truffles. The best white truffles in Italy are grown near Turin, when they are at their most delicious. The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, and the beauty of the white truffle flavor of Lamadiya cannot escape the nose of Brother Meng.

Also coming together are Pirlo and Jiaojiao, who are old friends. Khedira, Pogba, Marchisio, they are the Madiburg gang, Marcelo is the happy member of the party, and as for Isco, it will feel very honorable to go out and bring a younger brother.

Also coming with him was Julius Wu, also known as Xiaotong.

Xiaotong will follow Zhuoyang to away games as much as possible. Real Madrid will provide Zhuoyang with convenience in this regard. Of course, all expenses incurred will be borne by Zhuoyang himself. Now, whether in Madrid or elsewhere, Xiaotong will follow Zhuo Yang's private parties.

Meng Er and the others were inevitably a little strange. Zhuo Yang frankly told him that he was a bodyguard, so everyone laughed at him in front of outsiders. However, Julius didn't look like a bodyguard at all. In terms of body shape, appearance, and temperament, he was an extremely ordinary passerby. This made them even more strange, and Zhuo Yang didn't bother to explain.

But soon they were no longer surprised, because Xiaotong was good at 'invisibility'.

As usual, Xiaotong would not disturb the gathering of Zhuoyang and his friends. He would sit alone in the most suitable place, order whatever he wanted, and then quietly and discreetly take control of everything around him.

His ordinaryness happened to be the best disguise. Unless he was looking for it, it would be difficult to notice Xiaotong's existence. Meng Er and the others quickly forgot about such a 'weird' person who was not strange at all.

Truffle is one of the most luxurious foods in the world. In Western food, it is called the "three kings" of food along with caviar and foie gras. Among truffles, white truffles are much rarer and more expensive than black truffles.

It is known as the 'white diamond'.

White truffles are actually a fungus that grows on the roots of oak trees. It is said that they cannot be cultivated artificially. They can only be harvested by specialized truffle hunters after they mature naturally between the end of October and December every year.

I don’t know if this is a gimmick deliberately packaged by white truffle merchants, because people also say that white truffles can aphrodisiac, and basically foods with strong fragrance have this label. But it is true that white truffles are very rare. They are only produced in the Piedmont region of Italy and a few places in Croatia. Turin is the capital of the Piedmont region.

The best white truffles in the world are produced in Alba near Turin. The white truffles here basically cost around 2,000 euros per pound (less than a pound). The most expensive ones were sold in the United States for one kilogram. Thirty-five thousand dollars.

As the saying goes, rare things are more expensive, and expensive prices will naturally bring different taste experiences. If you don't tell it to be a white truffle, you might just think it is a copri mushroom and cook it in the mandarin duck pot, and you won't feel any difference.

Although white truffles are only seasonings and supplements in food, and no one chews them as a staple food like steamed buns for fear of suffering a loss, but if ten people ate it, it must have cost a lot.

Zhuo Yang wouldn't feel bad no matter how much he spent, and it wasn't him who paid for it. Meng Er won't feel bad, he is not Scar. For Brother Xian, who has money as an external possession, it is worth it to treat friends to dinner even if it means bankrupting the whole family.

Meng's second brother is half a year older than Zhuo Yang, and was also born in 1. He is a famous prodigal son in football in Italy and around the world, and is also the leader of the new generation of love saints. But Brother Meng's love, like his football, is always unexpected.

The real love life of the second brother started with Miss Vivian who cheated on her when she was still in Madibao. From then on, Meng Er completely wandered in the world of love, and the girlfriends around him came and went like crucian carp crossing the river. On average, each term lasts from half a year to eight months, but rarely exceeds one year.

Meng Er is a poet. He said that every relationship is unforgettable and leaving is just to have it forever. Zhuo Yang thinks that he is actually playing a hooligan.

Meng Er's last girlfriend was Cannes actress Jessie Metrica, and his second brother also took her to Brazil for a vacation with his brothers. Last spring, the second brother and Jessie broke up as expected. The second brother said that this was also a love legend.

Every relationship of the second brother is interpreted as a legend by him, and their acquaintance and breakup are legends.

The brothers who had already heard the cocoon in their ears naturally sneered at this as always, but for the sake of face, everyone still wished him to start another 'legend' as soon as possible.

Sure enough, just last fall, during the last white truffle harvest season, Brother Meng had a new girlfriend. Although the girl can be considered beautiful, considering the legendary experience of the second brother in the past, she is just an extremely ordinary one. Obviously, she's just a transitional character.

The brothers all joked that the second brother was just a temporary installation during the maintenance period of the barrel, but just as they were all munching on white truffles today, the second brother only had a soft spot for the egg pappardelle topped with traditional Italian sauce. The poet's choice There are always surprises.
