[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

Standing in the center of everyone's scorching gazes, Joy felt that some of them were about to burn holes in her body.

As soon as Joseph's question came out, the voices of everyone suddenly fell down.

There was a subtle moment of silence at the scene.

Just when Joey felt that the silence had continued until he was about to die if he didn't speak again, a crisp voice suddenly popped out without any scruples: "Miss Fernandez! Is it really you? Can I make grape-flavored milk tea?" ?"

The count's youngest daughter, Anna, with pomegranate flowers on her head, jumped up and down in front of Joey.

Joey watched the little girl look at him with big brown eyes, and laughed: "Anna, do you like grapes?"

"Yes! Please, please, can you make a grape flavor? I'll ask my father to buy you a few more newspaper pages!"

Yo, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Joey rubbed Anna's soft curly hair and was amused: "Who can refuse such a cute little girl's request?" For the lovely Miss Anna of the Earl's family, the succulent grapes were arranged.

She had thought long ago that since she had to register and pay taxes at the city hall, sooner or later the high society would know about her being the boss behind the scenes.

Instead of pretending to be picked up in the end, it is better to find a suitable opportunity to admit gracefully.

"Okay, Joey!" Joseph's eyes widened, "I don't even know about such a big deal!"

He patted the back of the chair without any regard for dignity: "I also want the grape-flavored milk tea specially provided by Xiaohehua! No, no, I think the cocoa flavor is better. Believe me, Joey, the cocoa milk tea will definitely become a new bestseller Taste!"

A timid voice came from the side: "Miss Fernandez, I also have a suggestion, is it okay?"

Beren, a girl from Baron Demer's family, sat beside her cautiously, pale and thin.I don't know if it's because her mother is too strong, this [-]-year-old girl is usually shy and reticent, but this time seems to be the first time she mustered up the courage to talk to Joey.

"Please." Joey nodded kindly.

"That is, do you think it is possible to add cheese to milk tea? Of course, I may have said something nonsense, cheese and milk tea are both made of milk, hey, I am so stupid...don't worry, I just made a small suggestion , if you feel bad, just pretend you didn't hear it..." Beren's voice became weaker and weaker.

Joey was reminded by her.Cheese!She actually forgot the milk cap!

Probably because she saw an emoji of milk fat content in her previous life, which scared her so much that she seldom drank milk tea and gradually forgot its existence.As a result, when she came to make milk tea in the place where the cheese was produced, she actually forgot about it.

In terms of production cost, it may be more labor-intensive to pass the milk cap.But no problem, ice cream can be made, and the technique of whipping cream was originally carried forward in Europe, which loves dairy products.

"This suggestion is very good. Belen, thank you!" Joey thanked him sincerely.

Belen's eyes lit up: "Really! Me too... Thank you!"

"I've changed my mind. I also want milk tea with cheese!" Joseph answered reluctantly.

"Miss Fernandez, maybe you can also consider using expensive tea species to supply my family with a special supply? I don't want to drink the same tea as ordinary people. Don't worry, what I want is quality, and the price is not a problem!" Immediately, others followed .

"Yes, Miss Fernandez, why don't you let the store provide high-end customized services? My wife only drinks Wuyi rock tea for tea, and loves rum custard pudding, but there is no such ingredient in the store. I want to serve her Order the afternoon tea every day, and it would be even better if someone can deliver it to my house. Of course, you can set the price as you like!"

Smiling gracefully, Joey jotted down all the requests.

In the near future, people in Barcelona will find that the rose milk tea shop provides a customized service of krypton gold version.Tea varieties, ingredients, colors, and decorative sugar powders can all be customized, and you can even add everything from gold powder to diamonds, and you can even have takeaways—as long as you can afford the custom price.

"Good evening! We're late."

A gentle voice came, and Count Guell appeared in the hall, surrounded by the architect José and his son Boaba.Everyone's attention was attracted.

"Mr. Earl! You say that too often." The Earl's acquaintance joked with him.

It was well known that the Earl was always late to the balls given by him.

"Sorry, sorry." Guell smiled apologetically, "The reporter of "Barcelona Daily" was too enthusiastic, and the interview took longer than expected."

"By the way, congratulations on the completion of your new house renovation! There is another landmark on La Rambla. This good news deserves a toast."

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate the Earl's family on the happy event, and some people laughed and said, "Mr. Earl, by the way, I would like to ask you, when can we go to your new mansion to attend the ball?"

All the guests present have read the news from the newspaper this morning——

"The renovation project of the Earl's House presided over by the famous architect Jose Abbas has been completed, once again leading the trend of Catalan architecture."

The reporter commented very humorously: "If you come to Barcelona for tourism, there are two attractions that you should not miss on Las Ramblas - the milk tea at the Rose House, and the Earl's house."

"Of course, you can admire the wonderful roof of Earl's House from a distance like a candy house in a fairy tale while queuing up to buy milk tea. After buying milk tea, you can take a pleasant walk along La Rambla to Earl's House, Enjoy the amazing magic show of street performers along the street."

"—I heard that standing on the balcony of the Earl's House and looking up at the suspended roof design, there will be a different aesthetic experience? For this reason, in the next interview with Count Guell and Mr. Abbas, We will be kind enough to ask Mr. Earl if he considers opening his new home to tourists on a regular basis."

Count Guell smiled and raised the champagne: "Thank you, I am also looking forward to seeing you at the ball in the new house. In addition, I should congratulate my old friend Jose. He has completed another amazing work .”

"Congratulations! Mr. Abbas, I'm so happy that you are finally free to design my house." The speaker has a distinctive flowing blond hair, and his eyes are shining brightly on Jose , like looking at a golden mountain.

Joseph leaned over to Joey and whispered, "My uncle. He likes to follow trends the most."

"Little Mr. Abbas is also worthy of congratulations." Guel patted Boaba's shoulder with a smile, and raised his glass to Baron Demo, "The Demo mansion he presided over the renovation has also been completed a few days ago. As expected of José's son, the young man has a bright future."

"Of course! We are already seeing the rising stars of architecture in the future. Kudos to our wonderful young people! Kudos to Barcelona!"

Everyone clinked glasses enthusiastically, and everyone tacitly agreed, and did not mention a single unkind comment in the newspaper.

"Of course Mr. Abbas Jr. is also an excellent architect, but he did not show the outstanding talent of his father who emerged at the same time. The Demo House is certainly beautiful, but the Earl's House took all the limelight. "

Everyone agreed that the reporter was too mean.After all, he is still a young man, with unlimited possibilities for future development.

The dance party started with a joyous atmosphere, and people outside the dance floor also chatted casually while drinking champagne and eating snacks.

Platters of Iberico ham and cheese are set on small round tables.The ham slices are placed in the shape of flowers on the light yellow Manchego cheese exuding a rich milky aroma. It is crystal clear like bright red ice, with white marble patterns criss-crossing, shining with the attractive luster unique to fat.

Joseph threw a piece of cheese into his mouth, chewed and smiled at Guell: "Otherby, I have carefully evaluated my relationship with you and decided that I should apply for the right to visit your mansion in advance!"

Before Guell could answer, he winked at Jose again: "Congratulations to the great architect! There is a new representative work. I especially like the white and blue checkerboard lattice roof, which is so surprising, unrestrained and lively , not at all like your previous style."

Jose's face froze indistinctly.Boaba almost crushed the tulip cup in his hand.

"Indeed. I didn't design the roof part." The big architect smiled politely.

"Huh?" Joseph, who had always been comfortable in social situations, felt awkward for the first time.

Joey wanted to laugh a little.Unfortunately, Joseph happened to be away when Mrs. Dermore publicly expressed her regret for the "problem architect" she recommended.He was careless, and it probably didn't occur to him that the roof was not designed by the main architect of the whole house.

Just at this time, Baron Demo slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oh! I remembered, it was the young student whose architect qualification was revoked? What's his name... Didn't he go to prison?"

"His name is Antonio Gaudí." Guell waved his hand angrily and amusedly, "Galio, I don't like to hear your words. It's just that the designed roof may have load-bearing problems, and it's not a crime! And he The town hall requested that the pillars be installed and the architect's qualifications have been reinstated."

"Antonio Gaudí," someone murmured the name over and over again. "Never heard of it. What did he design before?"

"He was still a student and my roof was his first piece of work that fell from the page to the ground - I'm very honored for that."

Guell turned to Joy with a smile and raised his glass to her: "As many of you know, the young architect was recommended to me by our lucky Miss Fernandez.—However, I prefer to call her Miss Fernandez, who has a 'distinctive eye'. Seriously, I'm sure that young man will be a great architect."

Joey smiled back at him.She thought to herself, if this history is written into a book, Mr. Earl can be called a winner in life who knows the protagonist with insight.

With the endorsement of the highly respected Count Guell, many people immediately became interested in this rising star of architecture.

Joseph spoke the fastest: "Is this Mr. Gaudi here today?"

"No." Guell said regretfully, "I originally invited him, but he has something to do temporarily."

He cast a mysterious wink at Joey, and said with a narrow smile: "Maybe it's just because I don't want to come to the dance, so I'm 'on the go'. There's no way, geniuses have their own personalities, let alone young geniuses?"

Joey quickly clarified: "You really blamed him wrongly. He really has something to do."

Before Antonio came, he was called away by Professor Dago from the architecture school.He was reluctant at first, but Joey felt that it might have something to do with the class he failed last semester, so he insisted on going, and even watched him into the principal's office.

"Ah, that's right." Joseph curled his lips in disappointment, "Where does he live? My dad just bought me a small house, and I also want him to be my architect."

"Joseph, your uncle has already snatched Mr. Abbas. You can't let all the top architects in Barcelona be snatched by your Batllo family!" Someone condemned him half-jokingly.

"That, I'm really sorry," Joey couldn't hide his smug smile, feeling that everyone's eyes fell on him again——

"This architect will belong to me for the next year."

Among the chattering people in the earl's mansion, only she knew that the young architect they were talking about was in the principal's office at this time.

Antonio raised his eyebrows in surprise as he looked at the report card that was changed to "4.0" in front of him.

Professor Dago is recognized by all students as the hardest nut to crack.He actually took the initiative to change him back to full marks this time?seriously?

To be honest, he originally thought that Professor Dago called him because he was almost permanently disqualified as an architect, and he was ready to be severely scolded and then slam the door expressionlessly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came here, I saw the transcripts of the courses I should have retaken this semester, which were revised to full marks.

Antonio felt a little complicated.

"I heard that you are going to officially start the house renovation project?" Professor Dago snorted through his nose and asked quietly.

"Yes." Antonio nodded slightly.

"Is that the young girl I saw last time?"

"Yes. Miss Fernandez."

"...Show me your design draft."

Antonio frowned slightly, and subconsciously closed the portfolio beside him.

It was Joey forcing him to take it.

"Antonio, you have to bring the blueprint of the house," the girl said in an unquestionable tone, "take the initiative to show it to Professor Dago! Please ask him to recommend you to represent the school in the Catalonia Youth Architectural Design Competition."

Oh, Antonio thought, he wouldn't do that kind of thing.It is not in his character to take part in the competition and push his own works to other people's mouths.

"Take it out." Professor Dago said impatiently. "I know you brought it."

This made Antonio feel inexplicably controlled, as if something was out of his control.He hates this feeling.

But just when he lowered his face and was about to shake his face and leave, a girl's crisp voice suddenly echoed in his ears, the voice was full of pure joy and pride: "Antonio, I really hope that my house will be a Award-winning house. Casa Fernández - the debut project of a Catalan star architect! What a grandeur!"

……All right.Joey likes it.

Then there's no way.

Antonio suppressed his temper, handed the portfolio to the grey-haired principal, and then began to look out of the window rather uncomfortably.

Because he remembered what happened last night, and he still feels incredible.

——He firmly believed that there must be something wrong between him and Joey.

"Antonio, do you remember when we first met?"

Under the bright kerosene lamp that night, Joey swayed the pale golden champagne in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yeah." Antonio responded silently.

He was shamefully secretly painting her, and then even more humiliatingly discovered by her.

"It's St. George's Day! I just wanted a romantic St. George's Day themed design with dragons, roses and bones."

"There's still half a glass left. Quick, drink the rest!" she urged Antonio.

Antonio glanced at her helplessly, "I can't drink."

Joy was as opinionated as he was every time the two had a disagreement, "It's okay! It's free art creation now. Believe me, wine is the artist's muse!"

Antonio: "..." He had no choice but to pick up the glass of vodka and drank it down.

A hearty and pungent coolness slid all the way into the stomach, burning a hot fire along the way.

Joey is satisfied.

She also drank her glass of champagne in one gulp, and then began to say and gesture, "Okay, let's talk about the roof first! The roof has a streamlined shape, just like the back of a dragon. Dragon scales are shiny glazed tiles." , reflecting brilliant light in the sun."

"The outer wall is the facade, and it should also be matched with the colorful dragon scale roof, which has a colorful but not dazzling effect."

She suddenly felt that she seemed to have said something of the same nature as "colorful black", coughed a little embarrassedly, and pretended nothing happened, "You can paste a mosaic of broken tiles with gradient colors. You are on the roof of the Earl's House The kind of broken porcelain collage used in the past is very good."

Antonio continued to write along with her description, making a quick sketch, and then frowning from time to time to correct one or two places.

Alcohol slowly burned from the stomach.He felt as if he was slowly being lifted up by a cold and hot cloud, and his whole body was floating like a fairy.

"Then the balcony facing the street can be designed as a hollowed-out skeleton. The small window on the top should be a small flower-shaped balcony, like the balcony of a princess! Above is the entrenched dragon, and below is the balcony where the princess calls for help. , and then there are layers of bones with strange shapes, just thinking about it is exciting!"

Antonio raised his eyebrows slightly.Joey wants to design a balcony under the dragon's back for a trapped princess to call for help?

interesting.

But he didn't say anything, he just continued to imagine the scene that Joey was describing, and then quickly outlined it with a few strokes.

The weightlessness of floating became stronger and stronger, and his brain and hands gradually began to lose control, and he moved excitedly as if he had a will.

Curved staircases, cute mushroom-like fireplaces, colorful stained glass, gradient blue patio designs that sink into the deep sea, and layers of lovely bone balconies, every St. George's Day will be filled with bright colors. the roses...

Under the vivid description of the girl, a house transformed from a fairy tale is gradually formed in Antonio's mind.The flowing soul seems to ride on the wings of freedom, and there are elves flying in every brick and every corner of the house.

For some reason, the more Antonio paints, the more strangely familiar he feels.

These things seem to resonate with something deep in his soul, like a bird calling to a fish swimming in the depths of the ocean through the surface of the sea, making the fish realize for the first time that they are actually flying freely in the boundless blue sea.

The fish gave birth to wings, the blue and transparent sea waves sang ding ding dong dong, the colorful halo of the sun hovered around the swirling fish, and the shiny scales of the giant dragon reflected brilliant brilliance in the sun. , the sun is held up by the boundless wings, the Iberian spring breeze blows over the green mountains covered with flowers, and the princess wearing the pearl crown stands on the top of the white tower, slowly turning her head in the rain of roses flying all over the sky. Come……

He fell asleep in a grotesque dream.

When Antonio woke up in the morning light, he was still surrounded by the familiar messy workbench.There was a mess of charcoal pencils, rulers and paintbrushes, and there was even a suspicious red mark on the back of his hand.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and moved his stiff neck.

Then when he saw the design drawings in front of him, he froze suddenly.

The colorful scales of the evil dragon, the cross dragon spine sword, the smooth shape, the colorful wall tiles... Every design is a passionate collision of imagination and beauty, and every corner is more perfect than perfect.

Can he really draw such a design?

The author has something to say: Antonio: This chapter is called "My manuscript can't be so smart"
