Chapter 126: The Ice Queen
ɦ 䣺2014-05-1111:03:28126.Chapter 126 Ice Queen
Speaking of coffee, Downing thinks of Java, programmers probably know that this language is a coffee cup, and it is a very distinctive kind, intense and requires intellectually focused programming work, it is really suitable to have a cup of coffee at work, Java language has not yet been invented, Downing has decided to call his instant coffee brand Java. And the Indonesian island of Java is indeed the first place in Southeast Asia where coffee was grown.
And Starbucks' global popularity is largely due to the fact that it borrowed the momentum of the strong American culture, which needs to be changed in this era and should be ...... Borrow the British Empire? No, borrow the momentum of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, as long as this brand is created by the Grand Duke, it will be different, and now the prestige of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg is in full swing, and it is the dragon slaying youth who is making waves.
As for the high-quality coffee beans that the brand relies on, Downing will naturally let coffee gourmets check it, and the elegant and pleasant environment is by no means a weakness for the Grand Duke who created the Luxembourg Architecture Art Festival, a fast and convenient coffee machine? Not a problem. His advantage in creating the world's No. 1 coffee chain brand is quite obvious. What is the name of this brand? I can't think of this for a while, and I can't call it Java after all. Instant coffee and the "No. 1 coffee brand" still have to be treated differently. Instant coffee has been processed at high temperature many times, and the aroma has faded, and some flavors are often added, which is often disliked by tasters, in fact, there are not many ordinary customers who can drink it.
The real difference between instant coffee and traditional coffee is that the former is not filtered through guò filter paper or metal mesh, and contains caffeol and coffee white alcohol, which have a cholesterol-promoting effect, which is slightly unhealthy. But this is not a big difference, there are studies that say that instant coffee is a health problem, but this may be because the people who make coffee and drink it have better economic conditions, and then their living conditions and medical conditions are better, so the difference in the health numbers between the two groups is doubtful. Just as there are studies that say that drinking red wine is good for the body, the biggest variable is also the same, red wine drinkers tend to have better economic conditions, and the results of the survey are almost impossible to count.
The Dutch East India Company finally ushered in the first important invention of the Downing era, because Indonesia belonged to the Dutch ruling area, and naturally Java was also under the control of the Dutch East India Company, and Downing was very fair to its companies. When Downing informed the shareholders of the Dutch East India Company of the company's latest movements, they quickly smelled that their investment would pay off handsomely. Because instant coffee will bring great convenience to the general public, for this market, it is like a sperm whale coming to a vast sea to enjoy endless seafood.
Batavia (Jakarta), which has been overshadowed by Singapore, has finally begun to develop its own competitiveness with technological innovation at its core.
Sitting in the office of the Grand Duke and drinking the newly made experimental java coffee, when he felt that the taste had reached the point that the Grand Duke himself could not drink it anyway, he began to think about the brand idea of ice cream.
Heck, just came back from Northern Europe, if you are still in Scandinavia, maybe your head is brighter, it is a world of snow and ice, the country of ice cream, it seems that the Nordic ice cream brand is also the most famous.
"The Ice Queen!" Suddenly, this inspiration flashed, and Downing remembered a fairy tale, like a fairy tale from the Nordic country of Denmark, a masterpiece by Hans Christian Andersen. The specific content of Downing is not very clear, and with all his thoughts, he wants to see this fairy tale, and it just so happens that he has never been to the National Library of Luxembourg, so there is a reason to go there.
His assistants were unprepared for the sudden thought, and he was tired of being followed, so he quietly slipped out of the back door of the palace in a low-key smart.
There are still many rich people who go to the "National Map", and Tang Ning actually saw several cars, and there are expensive ones in them. In these years, the car is a monopoly industry, in addition to smart, there were people who drove steam engine cars before, like trains, you can see the black smoke coming out of the steam car across three streets, few people are interested in this steam car, since the smart shock on the market, fewer people drive steam cars, and they can't afford to lose that person.
Downing had thought that with this face he could be the best reading card, but the older lady who guarded the children's literature library didn't know their great monarch. Tang Ning had no choice but to take out his Führer pass, and the lady's eyes were as wide as owls.
When the librarian was surprised and inexplicable, Tang Ning smiled and said, "Don't make a noise! ”
Could it be that the Führer does not need to apply for a library card? It seems that the leader did not say it, but the librarian did not dare to ask the Führer for documents, so he had to watch Downing slip into the children's literature reading area in a grand manner.
Putting down the glory of the famous Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and letting go of the arrogance of god-level scientists and industrialists, today Tang Ning wants to enjoy a rare childlike fun.
[Gerda had to rest a little longer.] On the opposite side of the place where she was sitting was a great crow jumping in the snow, and it had been there for a long time to look at her, and the crow turned its head and cried, "Quack! Wail! - That's good! Luckily! "It's impossible to make it sound better, but it does show kindness to this little girl. The crow asked her why she was running alone in this vast world. Gerda knows very well what the word "alone" means. So she told the crow about her life and what had happened to her, and asked him if he had ever seen Kaye.
The crow nodded contemplatively and said, "Likely! In all probability! ”
"What? Are you sure! The little girl cried out, and she kissed the raven so hard that she almost suffocated it. 】
Haha, Andersen is so imaginative, the crow that originally represented ugliness and death was transformed into a cute image full of compassion with a few strokes. Tang Ning casually flipped through this passage and read along with it.
Just when Tang Ning was immersed in the beautiful and immaculate fairy tale world, he accidentally looked up and saw a young girl sitting on the ground, he didn't see her face, he saw her legs first, because she was wearing the most fashionable black stockings in the fashion industry, which reflected her slender legs so **.
Looking at her face, although it is not as stunning as Eugenie and Sissi, she also has a little refreshing style. Her singular temperament is precious in the eyes of Downing, who is full of fairy tale love, and incorporates the brave and innocent qualities of Gelda, the heroine of the fairy tale he is reading. Isn't? If you are not brave, where would you dare to wear Victoria's Secret? If you weren't naïve, why would you really come to the library to read fairy tales? There aren't too many people like Dagong who come here with brand ideas in mind, right?
When she noticed that a young man saluted her, the corners of her mouth raised a lonely arc of self-appreciation, which was a bit of the style of the Ice Queen. In short, the temperament is unique, give a thumbs up.
It seems that this maverick girl does not know the Grand Duke, which is good! Tang Ning aroused the curiosity of accosting, rolled his eyes, and calculated his heart.
"Hey, girl, where can I find Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales?" Downing saw that the little beauty's hair was black, and thought that she might be from the south of France or Italian, so he asked her in French, which represented aristocratic style.
Tang Ning walked from a long distance, past a buddy and a sister to the little beauty, and the intention of accosting him was as clear as Sima Zhao's heart.
"The one you were looking at is, if I'm not mistaken!" The little beauty really spoke French, and ruthlessly debunked Downing's attempts to pick up a conversation.
"Uh......, yes! However, I don't think this version is particularly well translated. "Hmph, it's not so easy to suffocate our Grand Duke in one sentence.
"That's the best translation of the English version, I don't think there's a better one." Those who dare to talk unscrupulously are all prodigal sons and veterans of flowers, and that little beauty obviously regards Tang Ning as this person, so her attitude is quite cold.
But in Tang Ning's eyes, the more cold the little beauty is, the more she has the demeanor of the ice queen, the more interested he is, and continues to try to continue the conversation unrelentingly: "It turns out that you can also speak English, talented!" However, I see you like Italians, especially like Sicily, where great beauties are abundant. ”
As soon as these words came out, the young man next to him, who had been secretly looking at the little beauty, couldn't stand it anymore, and said righteously: "Sir! This is the National Library, not a bar! Please pay attention to the impact! ”
Tang Ning turned his face to the stunned Qing, hoping that he would be automatically frightened after seeing and recognizing himself, and it was best to cut his stomach, but unfortunately the good wishes of the Grand Duke could not be realized, and the stunned Qing was the stunned Qing, and he didn't care about politics at all, or he recognized a little but subconsciously denied it because he didn't want to admit it in his heart.
Seeing that he had met a great monarch who did not know them, Tangning only said as if he were reciting a poem: "Has it affected you?" ”
The stunned young man asked and answered: "Yes, it has affected me, and there are several people here, we are all here to read the book, not to come to talk to the prodigal son." ”
The young man stood up from his seat, more than 190 centimeters tall, presumably a young man of the German nation, and he "looked down" at his 180-centimeter small opponent, with the expression of a big tiger looking at a beagle.
Tangning was curious, what did such a beastly big young man come to children's literature to read?
"You're strong." Downing said matter-of-factly.
The corners of the beast youth's mouth showed a look of pride, thinking that his opponent was timid: "It's not too late for you to know. ”
Tang Ning smiled faintly and said, "I need people like you in my army. ”
The young man seemed to smell a hint of ominousness: "Huh? Your army? Do you still have an army? ”
Tang Ning continued to smile indifferently: "Don't worry, I didn't bring the army today, even if I did, it would not be good to start a war in a library surrounded by fairy tale books, you say?" ”
Downing's mind suddenly surged bullets and flew in the air, sometimes hitting the bookshelf on the left, dropping a copy of "One Thousand and One Nights", the story facing up was "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", sometimes hitting the bookshelf on the right, dropping down a copy of "Grimm's Fairy Tales", opening "Little Red Riding Hood", it was really joyful, he couldn't help but laugh.
The young man was not convinced, and he didn't want to believe what kind of bull the guy in front of him was, so he muttered, "Even if you are a powerful person in the army, you should not be arrogant in the library." ”
Tang Ning: "Ho, you have qualified me as a prestigious, and you are not a judge......"
"That's enough, two!" The little beauty couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You can go outside and quarrel, and you can also duel." ”
The young man was still threatening to be a righteous partner, but Tang Ning smiled lightly and said, "What's the girl's name?" We're going to duel, we can't even know your name, can we? ”
In the important matter of obtaining the girl's name, it was obvious that the young man's interests were the same as Tangning's, and he also wanted to know what the girl's name was, and as for the duel, it was of course a joke.
Downing's quote is actually a clever compliment, which means "we duel for you".
It was rare for two inseparable young men to look at her expectantly at the same time, and the little queen actually felt a little pressure, and couldn't help blurting out: "Marlena......" After accidentally saying her name, she quickly added a sentence "Okay, don't make trouble, read the book, everyone is watching your jokes!" ”
The man conquered the world, but he fell under the pomegranate skirt of the goddess, and the two unreliable young men each held a book, and sat down next to the little goddess in a serious (literal) way, pretending to read the book, and they didn't know how much they could read.
The reading room was quiet, and it seemed that everything was back to normal, but only people knew best in their hearts that their hearts were not calm, as if there was a surging undercurrent under the calm sea.
The young man was really impressed by the charm of the sexy and pungent little goddess, so that he was fascinated, and the attitude of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg towards the little goddess was to take off the spiritual shackles of the Grand Duke, and to compete with others without success or failure, and to add some color to the boring life. Therefore, Tang Ning was the most open, and it was he who spoke first, tilted his head, and spoke to the two like two old friends: "Hey, do you like ice cream?" ”
This question seems very inconsistent, but it is not a debate now, perhaps this ambitious and unreliable young man who claims to have an army just has nothing to say.
Because Downing used the pronoun "you" in his words, the hostile youth subconsciously responded with the word "no". But the reaction of the little goddess was diametrically opposite, obviously she was reminded of the word "ice cream" with a particularly good memory, saying: "It's delicious, but unfortunately I can't eat it often......" She also stretched out her lilac tongue **** after finishing speaking, and the dry lip flap was ****, this action was ****, and the two unreliable young people were stunned for a moment.
It took a long time for Tang Ning to remember what he was supposed to do, and said, "Ahem! You can't eat it often! This is a business opportunity, I want to open an ice cream parlor and serve ice cream in a penguin freezer, so that everyone can eat a peerless food sweeter than love all year round! ”
The young man who looked at the beauty showed a look of disdain, in short, he should oppose and despise everything that Tang Ning advocates, and the little goddess finally forgot Tang Ning's identity as a talker, and asked with interest: "Really?" This has a great future! ”
It's in! Tang Ning saw that the girl was interested, and immediately opened the conversation: "Do you make it?" There was a huge amount of work at the Architecture Festival, and I was going to pick a design for my ice cream parlor. ”
The young man reacted quickly: "Those are all famous designs, can your small shop afford the design fee?" ”
This sentence must be a big blow to ordinary shopkeepers, but Tang Ning is now like a heartless guy, saying: "Don't be superstitious about masters and famous artists, I found that the works of many designers who are not famous are equally excellent, or even more creative!" ”
Marlena defended Downing: "That's it, it's a coincidence, I also went to the Architecture Art Festival and bought a model of a building, which is the masterpiece of an unknown designer, and many people like it." ”
The Luxembourg Architecture Festival is one of Luxembourg's most famous buildings, regardless of whether the public is interested in architecture or not. Even citizens who have no concept of the house of cards can not have an innate aesthetic resonance when they see so many outstanding concrete models?
Due to the unique prefabricated parts and unit weight and volume requirements of the Luxembourg Architecture Festival, a large number of small buildings have been born, making it possible for all kinds of new buildings to enter the homes of ordinary people, and a girl like Malena even considers one of the models to be her lifelong dream, so she will buy the model. (http://.)。 The dream of a small estate may not come true, but it is always okay to buy a model, right? It's like a car enthusiast buying a whole bunch of models of famous cars with hundreds of parts.
Tang Ning's accosting has now inadvertently hit the girl's dream, if it weren't for someone next to him, I'm afraid the two would have gone to a quiet place outside to talk. Due to the special environment of the library and the special youth around them, their conversation **** was suppressed and brewed.
Anyway, she couldn't read the book, so Marlena drew a rough sketch of the architectural model she bought in her notebook, and pushed it in front of Downing seemingly casually for him to look at. This small action made the young man jealous, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
As the initiator of the art festival, Tang Ning knew most of the plans well, marked the designer of Marlena's drawings and the location of the title exhibition, and silently pushed the notebook back in front of her. The onlooker youth continued to be stuck in his throat and hard to swallow, if he had something to eat now.
