Chapter 182 A "Coincidental" Meeting in Milan!Meet the Golden Generation! (Please subscribe ~ monthly pass!)
After checking in at the hotel, the porter helped carry the luggage.

When he came to the house and put down his luggage, Li Shaojie took out a ten-euro bill, and the waiter took it and bowed.

"Ditching husband, is this the legendary tip?!"

Lu Qiuer's eyes lit up.

"What's the point of this stuff?"

"Of course there is."

Li Shaojie put the luggage away, and introduced Lu Qiuer with a smile.

"In terms of tipping, Italy is quite a gentleman. Tips are voluntary. If you are particularly satisfied with the service, tipping a little will make the guests honorable. But if you only give a few cents, it is better not to give it. This will be regarded as You are despising him."

Having said that, Li Shaojie shrugged.

"Anyway, generally speaking, service staff in Italy don't expect to make money from tips, so it's actually not a big problem to give them or not. The consumption places that want tips are likely to be marked on the bill, and basically don't care."

"Of course, we don't have a lot of luggage. Normally, a tip of 1 Euro for a bag is about the same. My 10 Euro is considered a lot, usually a few Euros, but it's not a big problem. When I go out, I spend a lot of money. It’s not bad to spend some money to enjoy the service.”

"There are also gaps in tipping rules in different countries."

Li Shaojie shrugged.

"Anyway, there is no custom of tipping in Italy, so there is no need to tip in many cases. If you want to be polite, you don't need to change the fare if the change amount is small. Tips for tour guides are 5 Euros 10 Euros , otherwise, if you give less, you will think that you are insulting others."

"For example, in China, if you go to dinner and give the waiter two yuan for steel, this behavior is somewhat impolite."

"Oh, that."

Lu Qiuer clicked her tongue.

"Okay, then I won't give it."

"No problem."

After the two put down their luggage, they began to tidy up the room.

Although the room is very upscale and clean, you still need to make necessary preparations when you go out.

For example, the portable toilet cover, slippers, pajamas, bed sheets, pillowcases and so on.

It is more assured to use your own personal things.

You don't need to worry about other places, all kinds of functions are available, and the lighting is also very good.

Of course, the only thing that makes people complain is the name.

The name of the hotel is "Seven Stars Glaria".

But actually, it's a five-star
However, the location here is very good.

Two people can visit many places around on foot.

Such as Milan Cathedral, Brera Gallery, Poldi Pezzoli Gallery and so on.

Although the communication is a bit troublesome, it is not a big problem.

Although Li Shaojie's Italian is not particularly strong, it is definitely enough.

Of course, it’s fine if you go south. It would be nice to be able to speak Italian clearly. Many dialects are difficult for northern Italians to listen to.

It's like the feeling of a foreigner who went to Sichuan after learning Chinese.

I suspect that I have learned a fake Chinese.

When traveling in Italy, there are three places that cannot be separated.

Rome, Milan, Florence.

When the two of them were in Milan, the first thing they did was to see the world-famous paintings in Milan.

Da Vinci's The Last Supper!
And take a look at Milan Cathedral.

The largest Gothic cathedral in the world.

Moreover, in addition to the Gothic style of this building, it also incorporates Baroque style.

The artistic atmosphere is very strong.

Naturally, when he came to Milan, Li Shaojie also needed to take the opportunity to take his wife to visit the Milan Conservatory of Music.

The Milan Conservatory of Music has friendly exchanges with many very famous conservatories in the world. Among these friendly exchanges, there is naturally the place where Li Shaojie studied abroad, the Berlin University of the Arts.

I used to come here back then.

When I come again, I will definitely bring my wife to play.

"The Milan Conservatoire is a very important music school in the world."

Li Shaojie took Lu Qiuer to visit.

"Many masters, even if they already have advanced diplomas from other colleges, still need to come to the master classes of the Milan Conservatory of Music for further study."

"Ah? Why?"

Lu Qiuer was taken aback.

This statement is rare.

After all, in the perception of many people.
I have an NB diploma from an NB university in the world, why do I need to go to a music academy for further study?
"Haha, of course it's because of the opera."

Li Shaojie smiled slightly.

"The Milan Conservatory is most famous for its opera and vocal music. Even many composers, performers, and conductors will come to the Milan Conservatory to study and research specifically on opera."

"That's it."

Lu Qiuer asked curiously.

"Then did you come here to study in those years?"

Li Shaojie shook his head with a subtle expression.

"There is no such thing as advanced studies, but...but"

Having said this, Li Shaojie seemed to blush a little and scratched his head.

"Exactly."

"."

As soon as Lu Qiuer saw her husband like this, she immediately understood.

Designation is not something as simple as "communication"! !
Even with black lines all over his face.

"Husband, to be honest, did you cause trouble again at that time?"

".No.No!"

Li Shaojie's neck twitched.

"It has nothing to do with me, he fainted himself!"

"?"

Seeing Li Shaojie's guilty look, Lu Qiu'er felt her scalp tingling, something bad was going on.

Until he said the phrase "he fainted by himself", Lu Qiuer only felt a buzzing in his head.

"To be honest, husband, do you have many enemies in Europe?"

"Nope!!"

Li Shaojie suddenly became annoyed.

"No!!"

"I"

Just as I was about to say something, I saw a familiar figure approaching from not far away.

Li Shaojie took a closer look and was stunned.

a little suspicious,

What a surprise, my little brother is actually at the Milan Conservatory of Music?
I'm afraid I read it wrong?

"Husband, what are you looking at?"

Lu Qiu'er's expression suddenly became unkind.

Because in the direction of the little brother, a beautiful white girl wearing black-rimmed glasses walked up to him.

What my husband's XP is like, I can't be more clear.

I like to wear small black frame glasses! !
"Oh! No, you misunderstood!!"

Li Shaojie pointed to a figure in the distance, and said softly to his wife.

"Did you see that brown-haired guy?"

"Ok?"

"That person seems to be my former classmate."

"?"

Lu Qiuer tilted her head.

How can you still meet your classmates when you travel?

There are always three mysteries about Li Shaojie that Lu Qiuer does not know at all.

I can't even understand it even if I say it
How many foreign students do you know?
How many people did you offend?
What exactly did you do in Europe?
"Come on, let's say hello?"

"Not too good?"

"What's wrong, if you don't admit your mistake, it's fine, we have a very good relationship!!"

Li Shaojie chuckled, dragged Lu Qiuer into the shop.

Lu Qiuer's right eyelid twitched wildly.

"Then what if you admit it wrong?"

"It's okay to admit your mistake, anyway, this is a coffee shop, so it's the same to have a sip of coffee by the way."

"."

As soon as he entered, Li Shaojie brought his wife to the table next to the brown-haired man.

After taking a look, Li Shaojie laughed as soon as he was sure.

"Yo, it's really you, Fendis."

Li Shaojie smiled and sat beside Fendis.

"Why did you run to the Milan Conservatory?"

"?"

Fendis looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.

My head was a little dazed, and my whole body tensed up like a cat with thorns.

"Why did you come here?!"

"."

Seeing this, Li Shaojie didn't feel anything, Lu Qiu'er wanted to cover her face dumbfounded.

Isn't it a good classmate?How come this meeting is like seeing a plague god?
"Of course I'm traveling with my wife!"

Li Shaojie hugged Sister Qiu'er, kissed her with a slap, and then raised an eyebrow at Fendis.

"No, no, no!"

"Fendis, you don't have a wife yet, do you?"

"?"

Fendis' complexion turned black.

"Hi, waiter, take two tiramisu and two cups of Crete~~"

"As you wish, sir~"

"."

Fendis glanced at Li Shaojie and curled his lips.

My mind is a little messed up now.

How did this person go to Milan?

Soon, Tiramisu and Crete were served.

Crete coffee is actually espresso + spirits.

The coffee here is somewhat different from domestic ones. In terms of domestic coffee concentration, it can be said that it is just a drink.

The coffee is short, but strong.

Afterwards, Li Shaojie introduced Sister Qiu'er with a smile.

"Honey, this is one of the espresso coffees. The coffee culture here is very complicated. Whether it's our domestic coffee or Americano coffee, it's more like a drink here."

Lu Qiuer took a sip.

It's a good thing it didn't spray out.

Spirits + strong coffee. For Lu Qiuer, who is used to drinking Nestle, it is a bit difficult to accept.

"There is a very strange statement here."

Li Shaojie looked at Lu Qiuer with a smirk.

Then, under Lu Qiuer's angry eyes, he changed the subject generously.

"Drinking cappuccino after noon is unforgivable, Italians drink it in the morning."

"Is it because you can't sleep at night?"

".I think maybe not."

"Don't change the subject."

"I do not have"

".Jay, are you really just here for a trip this time?"

The two were talking when they heard Fendis speak suddenly.

After clearing his mind, he couldn't help but ask.

"if not?"

Li Shaojie pouted.

"Could it be that I came to find you on purpose?"

"."

Fendis pouted.

"Bronzi abused you again?"

".How did you know?"

Li Shaojie only felt his eyebrows twitch.

"Did you instigate it?!"

"no."

"I do not believe!"

"Believe it or not!"

The two of them quarreled again habitually.

ding ding~
The pianist in the café is at work.

Smooth and beautiful piano music played.

The two stopped talking politely and looked at the grand piano in the store.

I have to say that the artistic atmosphere here is very strong.

They are all pianists, and when others are playing, they should always be respected.

Moreover, this is the Milan Conservatory of Music.

It is definitely not a simple person who dares to apply for a pianist in the coffee shop here.

Playing smoothly.

After playing, everyone smiled and applauded enthusiastically, but the applause did not make people feel noisy.

"Jay, long time no see, why don't you show me?"

Fendis smiled provocatively in his eyes.

Although I know that Li Shaojie is very strong, firstly, that is the previous impression, and secondly, the performance video of "The Bell" is still not so clear, and the real experience is still different.

"Yo, we just met, and you can't wait to seek abuse?"

Li Shaojie laughed and said coquettish words.

"Hehe, that was before!"

I don't know if it is a unique character of the golden generation, or a sign of genius.

They are all arrogant.

You can admit that you are very strong, but if you have not competed, you will never think that you have lost.

"I'm a guest! You go first?"

"it is good!"

Fendis nodded.

He stood up, smiled and communicated with the piano player.

The piano player seemed to be a part-time student nearby. When he saw Fendis, he greeted him eagerly and gave up his seat to Fendis.

After sitting down, Fendis glanced at Li Shaojie provocatively.

This provocative look immediately made many guests excited.

The people here are highly educated in art, and they have a keener observation of some things.

The moment the two made eye contact, they basically understood what was going on!

Soon, Fendis began to play.

Li Shaojie was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed.

I don't know if it's a provocation, or to prove something.

What I played was a piece I performed some time ago.

"The Rage of a Lost Dollar".

This piece is very dramatic.

Along with the performance, other audience members around also showed smiles.

Although I don't know what the song describes for the time being, the sense of humor hidden in this note is really wonderfully interpreted by Fendis.

Even Li Shaojie really couldn't find any major faults.

Moreover, he is obviously more exaggerated in speed switching and strong and weak processing, which makes the drama and contrast of this piece more tense.

The audience drinking coffee around them became more and more emotional.

In some dramatic contrasts, some audience members even couldn't help chuckling, and then quickly stopped their voices.

Although I don't quite understand what it is talking about.

But it feels kind of funny.

After the end of the song, the sound of laughter rang out along with the applause.

Fendis stood up, bowed slightly, and then spoke under the expectant eyes of many audiences.

"Song title, "The Anger of Losing a Dollar""

"Hahahahaha!!"

Recalling the feeling just now, the audience suddenly burst into laughter.

"Oh my God, you must be very angry then."

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"It's so angry. I feel very angry when I hear this name."

"Ha ha!!"

The guests even joked with each other, and the atmosphere was hot.

Fendis smiled, and then slightly gestured to Li Shaojie.

"So. Now, the original songwriter, Jay, come and perform for us."

Swish swish!
The guests looked at Li Shaojie immediately, their eyes were full of surprise and eagerness.

original?
