Chapter 234 Don. Quixote

After breakfast, Liping brought Mengdu two round bread, three sliced ​​bread, one boiled egg, and a few slices of sausages, and hurriedly took the elevator upstairs.

Back in room 5o3, she saw that Mengdu was still immersed in her dreamland, so she pushed Mengdu's body with her hands again and urged her to hurry:

"Mengdu, get up quickly! The tour group is about to come out!"

"Ah——, this sleep was so pleasant!"

Dreams finally woke up from the recollection.

He stretched his waist long and then got up from the bed.

After getting up, Mengduo wore slippers and walked into the bathroom step by step. After washing his hands and faces randomly, he returned to the room and ate sliced ​​bread and sausages.

At the same time, he ordered Liping to put round bread and boiled eggs into plastic bags.

After simply using breakfast, Liping and Meng picked up their luggage and went out.

At 7:58, all members of the Golden Autumn Group got on the bus, and the minibus came out towards Fengmeng Village according to the established goal.

The car went all the way and passed again through the street on the side of the Devalen Red Light District that the tour group visited last night.

Mr. Liu, a great man from Shandong, seemed reluctant to leave the "Western scenery" he visited twice last night, the street of the beautiful women in the showcase.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Devalen, sighing with whispers:

"Ah, Amsterdam is such a wonderful city! Here, human nature can be fully released and human body can be extremely free! If you can live in such a city for ten or eight years, it will be a waste of time for the world!"

"Yes, I really didn't expect that there was such a country in the world, such as gambling, drug abuse, prostitute, and all behaviors are legal in this place! How come there will be no chaos in such a country?"

A fellow villager of Mr. Liu sighed with Mr. Liu.

"Oh, such a good country, it's a pity that we are leaving. If we can stay here for one more day, that would be the best!"

After hearing the sighs of Mr. Liu and his fellow villagers, Meng also expressed her inner feelings.

After sighing, Mengdu continued to say to the tour guide:

"Royce, can't we squeeze out time and stay for one more day in Amsterdam?"

"Let's go with the situation! In this world, there are some things that come to order."

Unexpectedly, Master Ji, who was sitting behind Mengdu and Liping, interjected calmly after hearing Mengdu's words.

"Master Ji is right. Some things are just right, we just need to click on them! I know that through yesterday's visit, you must have a very deep impression of Amsterdam! Right?"

The tour guide Xiao Luo followed Master Ji's intention and smiled and said to the members of the Jinqiu Group with a microphone:

"Actually, yesterday, we visited a very small part of Amsterdam. If you have time, we can also visit the Van Gogh Museum, the Dutch Palace, the Dam Square, the National Museum, and also try the most famous Heineken beer in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, our tour group only had seven days to come to Europe this time. In addition, the day we arrived in Paris, there were only eight days in total. It was really not enough time to visit seven countries in eight days!"

Although the tour guide Luo Luo did not directly answer Mengdu’s question, he had expressed his meaning very clearly.

After answering Mengdu’s question from the side, she pointed at the view outside the window and said:

"Please look at these beautiful canals, as well as colorful ancient buildings on the canal, and tulip flower beds with flowers blooming on both sides of the ancient building. Which scenery does not make people miss it? After a while, when everyone enters the Windmill Village of Elshout, they can truly experience what it means to be like in the painting and the feeling of people traveling in the painting!"

With Ronaldo's fingers, tourists on the minibus turned their eyes to the oil painting-like scenery outside the window.

As for the topic of whether you can stay in Amsterdam for one more day, naturally no one has mentioned it again.

The Elshout Windmill Village, which the tour guide Ronaldo mentioned, is only eight kilometers away from the center of Amsterdam.

In a blink of an eye, the minibus had sent the members of the Golden Autumn Group to the parking lot next to the Windmill Village.

After Jin Qiutuan got out of the car with the tour guide Xiao Luo, he looked up and immediately, against the endless blue sky and white clouds, there were more than 20 windmill tower houses standing on the vast plain in front.

According to the tour guide later, all of these windmill tower houses were built in the 1830s and 1840s.

The tower house is completely round, with a diameter of about fifteen meters. Its entirely has white walls and black tiles, or gray walls and red tiles, which looks thick and firm.

The upper part of each tower house is equipped with huge rectangular wings.

These wings can generate powerful power when rotated.

Because the windmills here are not only numerous, but also have huge wings, which makes them form the largest group of windmills in the world.

When you look closer to the tower house, tourists can see more clearly:

Every windmill here is closely connected to a tower house.

The tower house is conical in its entirety.

Moreover, the walls of the tower house are tilted from top to bottom from big to small. That is to say, the tower house of the windmill is large on the top and the bottom is small.

The four rectangular wings of the windmill are fixed on a huge shaft on the top of the tower house.

From the front, the windmill is in a vertical cross shape. Even if it does not rotate, it gives people a feeling of dynamicity.

If you are a person who is good at fantasy, you will definitely think that as long as the windmills here turn, the entire earth will also rotate!

"Dear friends, the place we are now is the famous Elshout Windmill Village in Amsterdam. These windmills in front of you were once the main production tools for the Dutch to develop the economy."

Tour guide Xiao Luo led the Golden Autumn Group to the windmill group and introduced it to everyone:

"As early as the 16th and 17th centuries, the Dutch relied on these windmills as power, turned the mills in the tower house, used mills to roll grains, coarse salt, tobacco leaves, and used the windmill power to press oil, press wool, roll felt, and paper. Sometimes the windmill power also used the windmill power to remove the accumulated water from the swamps.

In the Netherlands, when there were the largest number, more than 12,000 huge windmills were built across the country.

Later, with the emergence of steam engines, internal combustion engines and electric motors, these windmills were gradually eliminated.

However, the elimination is the elimination, and the nostalgic Dutch did not abandon them because of the elimination of the windmill.

The Dutch kept them carefully and now it has become one of the main attractions that attract tourists from all over the world."

While introducing the history of Dutch windmills to the tour group, the tour guide Ronaldo led everyone around the windmill tower house and took a slow walk.

When walking to the edge of the windmill group, the tour guide Xiao Luo continued to introduce to the Jin Qiutuan:

"Please note that these tower houses are not entirely reserved for tourists to visit. In fact, there are still many families living in the tower houses.

These tower houses are generally divided into three floors. The third floor is the place to sleep, the second floor is the place to eat, and the first floor is the place to roll and grind things with wind.

From the seventeenth century to the present, some families have lived in these tower houses for more than two or three hundred years.

For many years, no matter what angle people have viewed the Netherlands scenery from any angle, they will see giant windmills standing everywhere on the vast horizon.

It can be said that the giant windmill is the most typical representative of the vast horizon and charming scenery of the Netherlands.

The giant windmill is the pride and symbol of the Dutch nation, and it is also the inheritance and publicity of Dutch culture!

You can feel that right now, do we feel like we are in the painting?”

After the tour guide Luo Luo finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at the members of the Golden Autumn Group with a smile.

Therefore, the members of the Golden Autumn Group enjoyed the surrounding scenery from different angles using the tower house and the windmill as the background.

Sure enough!

White or gray tower houses, black or red roofs, yellow fields, purple huge windmills, and vast and high blue sky and white clouds, as well as leisurely pedestrians under the tower houses, windmills, fields and blue sky and white clouds, forming a dynamic oil painting!

The introduction of "people are in paintings, people travel in paintings" introduced by the tour guide Xiao Luo just now is indeed well-deserved!

In an instant, the members of the Golden Autumn Group were all moved by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Feeling in the scene, in the Golden Autumn Group, a member who had read world famous works, recalled the black humor of the protagonist "Don Quixote" in the novel, wearing armor and fighting alone in the windmill.
