Chapter 75: Brother Meng's White Truffle

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. There are a lot 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, but it is ruthlessly crushed by Milan, Rome, Florence, Genoa, Venice and other places in these aspects. So after seeing and eating, Turin stayed

The only different impression given to outsiders is 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 stay there.

Rest 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 does not need to bother, as the rich and powerful 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 Zhuoyang directly from the Alpi Stadium to the La Madia restaurant.

Lamadea is not in the city center, but on the slightly remote east bank of the Po River. The Po River is the largest river in Italy, running through the city of Turin. It originates from the southwestern foothills of the Alps and winds from west to east in northern Italy.

From Venice flows 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.

When you come to Turin in late autumn, you might as well not come if you don’t eat white truffles. The best white truffles in Italy are produced near Turin, and this is its most delicious harvest season. The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, La Madia

The beauty of the white truffle flavor cannot escape Brother Meng's nose.

Pirlo and Jiaojiao also came together, they are old friends. Khedira, Pogba, Marchisio, they are the Madiburg gang, Marcelo is the happy member of the party, as for Isco

Well, it feels very dignified to take a little brother with you when you go out.

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 this convenience. Of course, all expenses incurred will be borne by Zhuoyang himself. Now Xiaotong will follow Zhuoyang's private parties whether in Madrid or elsewhere.

Meng Er and the others were a little strange. Zhuo Yang frankly told him that he was a bodyguard, so everyone laughed at him in front of outsiders. However, Julius did not look like a bodyguard at all. Regardless of his body shape and appearance,

They are all ordinary passers-by in temperament, which makes them even more strange. Zhuo Yang doesn'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.

Truffles are one of the most luxurious foods in the world. In Western food, they are called the "three kings" of gourmet food along with caviar and foie gras. Among truffles, white truffles are much rarer and more expensive than black truffles. They are honored as

'White Diamond'.

White truffle is actually a fungus that grows on the roots of oak trees. It is said that it cannot be cultivated artificially. It can only be harvested by specialized truffle hunters after it matures 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 food with strong fragrance has this label. But it is true that white truffles are very rare, and they are only produced in Italy.

Turin is the capital of the Piedmont region and some parts of Croatia.

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 the high price will naturally bring a different experience to the taste. If you don't tell it is a white truffle, you may just think of it as a copri mushroom and directly cook the mandarin duck pot, and you won't feel anything.

different.

Although white truffles are only seasonings and accessories 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.

No matter how much money is spent, Zhuo Yang won't feel bad, and he won't pay for it. Meng Er won't feel bad either, because he is not Scar. For Brother Xian, who has money as an external possession, it's worth it even if he bankrupts his fortune to treat his friends to dinner.

Brother Meng is half a year older than Zhuo Yang, and was also born in 1985. He is a famous prodigal son in football in Italy and around the world today, and is also the leader of the new generation of love saints. But Brother Meng’s love is just like his football

Same, 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 basically never 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 Best Actress Jessimi Trica, and his second brother also took her to Brazil for a vacation with his brothers. Last spring, his second brother and Jessi Mi broke up as expected, and his second brother

It is said that this is also a love legend.

Every relationship of the second brother is interpreted as a legend by him, and their acquaintance and breakup are also 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 was pretty, but considering the legendary experience of Brother Meng's past, she was only extremely beautiful.

An ordinary one. Obviously, she is just a transitional role.

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 munching on white truffles today, the second brother only had a soft spot for the egg pappardelle topped with traditional Italian sauce.
