288. Enchanted Mengcheng
"Although the Bell-47 is classic, it is much more expensive, close to 1 million yuan," said Asik. "Its engine is very good, using the Lycoming engine and the vo-435-a1b6-cylinder engine."
For Qin Shiou, one million is not expensive, but buying a helicopter for cruise seems to be unprofitable. After all, this aircraft has a single purpose and can be used for short-distance flights.
"There are many models of Bell-47, but in fact there may be hundreds of them, and the prices have changed a lot, ranging from 100,000 yuan to 4 million yuan." Asik said hesitantly when he saw Qin Shiou.
"But I really recommend that you don't consider the Bell-47. The cheap Bell can't even install the radar, the space is small, the engine is poor, and it is dangerous to fly in the air. On the contrary, the Hummingbird 260l, the Rotway A600 and the like are all good."
As the introduction, Asik's phone rang. After answering, he showed surprise on his face. After hanging up the phone, he said to Qin Shiou: "We have received a new helicopter. I think you must be interested, ac-310, a civilian helicopter developed and produced by your country's AVIC Helicopter Company."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shiou became interested and asked, "Is there a prototype of this aircraft?"
Asik smiled and said, "You will see it the day after tomorrow. You might as well stay in Montreal for two days and visit here at the same time. Believe me, this is an absolutely right decision. Montreal is a great city."
Qin Shiou suppressed his urgent mood and agreed to Asik's invitation. Montreal is indeed a great city. It has been ranked first in the United Nations Livable City Selection.
In the evening, Qin Shiou came out of the hotel to walk his dog and walked slowly on the street.
From the perspective of urban areas, it is difficult to combine Montreal with a modern industrial city. Qin Shiou stayed in the old city area, with pleasant scenery. Many buildings from a hundred years ago are preserved.
The road was narrow and could only accommodate two cars in parallel. The street lights on both sides were gas lights. Not long after he went downstairs, a carriage actually ran over from his side.
The first time Hu Zi and Leopard saw the carriage, they tilted their heads and looked at it for a while. They happily chased after them, and the horse's hooves were brisk and melodious. The driver turned around and saw Hu Zi and Leopard chasing behind and laughed and whipped the whip flower.
Montreal is geographically very close to the European coast and Vancouver. The architectural appearance, taste and feel here also blend the best aspects of the two continents. In addition to the church and ancient architectural remains, some European styles are mixed in addition to the North American contour lines.
You can see this in the towering ceiling of the Gothic Twin Towers Cathedral. Qin Shiou went in and said a prayer. Hu Zi and Leopard were waiting outside the door. An old godfather with white beard saw it and smiled and sprinkled some holy water for the two little guys, and blessed them with friendly blessings.
Qin Shiou nodded to his godfather and thanked him, who smiled kindly and said, "Are you here to travel, child?"
Don’t want to explain. Qin Shiou said, “Yes, how should I enjoy the scenery around here?”
"You take the cute Labrador, then go forward. Go to Damur Square, which is great, maybe you can still encounter a beautiful foreign love there." The old godfather laughed.
Qin Shiou followed the old godfather's guidance and walked forward, and a not-so-wide square appeared in his field of view.
There is an ancient statue and a dog statue in the center of the square. No wonder the old godfather asked him to come to this square. Dogs are very popular here. Seeing the tiger and the leopard, a girl came up enthusiastically to feed them with bread.
Qin Shiou went to the statue and looked at it. Here is an introduction, saying that the owner of the statue is called Mesongnaf. He was a missionary who built the first church in the city with full enthusiasm to appease the irritable Iroquois, take care of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and provide shelter for the homeless people to shelter from the wind and rain.
The statue dog next to it is called "Kobenae". It has nothing to do with Messonnaf. It reminded the residents of the upcoming plague and led the residents to block the nests of all the germ-containing mice with outstanding sense of smell, so that the people of Montreal could not escape the terrible plague.
There were many people wandering around in the square in the evening. The pace of their life seemed to be even lighter than saying goodbye to the town. Some people were curious about Qin Shiou's skin and hair color and chatted with him. During the chat, Qin Shiou realized that the twin tower cathedral he had just entered was the famous Notre Dame Cathedral in Montreal.
Afterwards, he took Hu Zi and Leopard away from the square, and then went to St. Surbis Theological Seminary, St. Ake Street, and Hammerje Castle Museum. It was completely dark before he went to have a meal.
Montreal is said to be a cooking paradise comparable to the world's food capital. In North America, it ranks second only to New York in the number of restaurants per capita.
Qin Shiou went to a restaurant called ‘beautys’, and bought some pancake rolls with salami and hot dogs, smoked salmon with cheese, and bagels sprinkled with onions and tomato fragments.
While eating by himself, Qin Shiou fed tigers and leopards. A homeless man saw him feeding fresh food to the dog and walked over. Qin Shiou did not discriminate against him and bought him a quiche and Spanish frozen soup.
After eating and drinking, the homeless man thanked him and sang a song to Qin Shiou. The man's high and low notes and singing skills were excellent. Qin Shiou felt that if he was willing, it would be fine to go to an ordinary band as the lead singer.
When he returned to the hotel, Qin Shiou was about to leave, but noticed that there were many photos hanging on both sides of the corridor. He went to see that it turned out to be Elizabeth Taylor wearing a wedding dress and smiling sweetly.
A waiter passed by him and said with a smile: "This is a photo of Ms. Taylor's wedding at our hotel. I dare say that every man was jealous of Charlie De Burton."
When Qin Shiou heard this, he immediately felt that the hotel was high-end, elegant and upscale.
He searched online and found that he had no idea about gold and jade. The Aerospace City Group really treated him as a VIP receptionist. This hotel is called the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It may not be the most luxurious five-star hotel in Montreal, but it is the most tasteful and famous hotel.
After staying for another day, Asik took him around Montreal for a day and tasted various delicacies, such as the steak tartare on a round plate like pizza. The steak has a layer of mustard ice cream on a surface and is decorated with crushed fried cubes.
In addition, I also tasted a dessert called 'vert'. This dessert is made of green apple diced apples, olive oil, pistachios, white chocolate yogurt and coriander leaves. It tastes so delicious.
On the third day, the ac-310 arrived, and Qin Shiou killed him in the morning and saw this production in the motherland and sold it to North America. (To be continued)
