Chapter 13 Can't Live with These People (Ask for Collections and Recommend Votes)
Qin Rongshuai took out a brochure printed by his company, which not only printed pictures and text materials of places of interest and historical sites, but also had a page on it to introduce the company's tourism consultant, and Qin Rongshuai's photo in a suit was also printed on it.
"This is the official document of our country, and it has my identification on it." , Qin Rongshuai pondered for a few seconds, and with inexplicable shame, he slowly unfolded the booklet, and then handed it to Themis.
Demis's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at the beautiful picture and text on the pamphlet with an incredible expression, and froze for a moment. Not only him, but even the Athenians next to him opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.
Greece has always boasted of being the center of civilization, with a developed economy and culture, and as a center of commerce and trade, the Athenians are also well-informed, and they have never seen anything, but they really haven't seen this thing in front of them.
They had never seen such a beautiful official document, the material was so light and convenient, and the hard interpretation was smoother than the papyrus they used every day.
What's even more amazing is that the text on it is neatly arranged and the size is exactly the same, and the picture drawn on it is like a paradise scene, lifelike.
Qin Rongshuai found his photo and pointed it to Demis, "Na, this is me, with my name written on it." ”
Themis stubbornly looked at it for a moment, nodded as if he understood, and then carefully took the booklet, read it carefully, and then passed it on to the others around him.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency, what is your country called, and how big is it?" After confirming his identity, Demis's tone was naturally much more polite.
"I'm from China, and its territory is bigger than all of Europe, bigger than the countries around the Mediterranean plus Persia!" Qin Rongshuai let go of the blow at this time, anyway, the Greeks had no way to prove it, so naturally what he said was what he said.
"It is boundless to the east by the ocean, to the north by the end of the world's landmass, and to the west by Persia. It has a huge population, the population of the world as you know it all, and it has a splendid civilization that is as old as Egypt and Babylon. ”
Qin Rongshuai stunned the Athenians for a moment, and at this time Demis once again expressed his sincerest apologies for what had happened before, and invited him to his home as a guest, he would entertain the envoy well, and then summon all the officials to meet with him tomorrow with solemn and formal courtesy.
Visiting Themis's house was a must, for Krossos had already contacted the inn, and he insisted on going there, boasting of how luxurious and warm it was, as warm as home.
Of course, Qin Rongshuai would not refute the face of his secretary, so he readily agreed to Krossos's proposal.
When they crossed the Athenian Congress Square to the other side of the city, they saw a tall two-story building in the distance, and from the open door, it was extremely spacious and bright, with rows of flowers on the windowsill, and it was very delicately dressed.
Qin Rongshuai nodded, quite satisfied with this, "Very good." ”
"This is the best hotel in the city of Athens!" Krossos looked smug and a little ostentatious.
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman rushed out of the courtyard and shouted: "Krosos, you bastard! ”
Caught off guard, Krossus was held in his arms and strangled his neck fiercely, and the poor clerk could only struggle hard, but could not break free.
The woman holding Krossos looked to be in her twenties, dressed in a long blue linen dress, very beautiful, plump and strong, and easily made the clerk to death.
"Let go of me, Elena, damn it, it's on the street."
"You bastard, where are you dead, I'm going to clean you up!"
"Don't drag my clothes, I specially brought my friends to stay with you, you let me loose!"
Aha, no wonder Krossos highly recommends this hotel, it turns out that he is an old acquaintance with the owner here.
However, it was too immoral to sprinkle dog food in front of everyone, Qin Rongshuai coughed vigorously a few times before interrupting the two of them to catch up.
After the two men reluctantly separated, Krossos tidied up his clothes and said with some smugness, "I am now following this noble gentleman, and I am his secretary." ”
"Allow me to introduce this noble man, he is the messenger of the Eastern Kingdom, the patron of Apollo, the fire thief, the top gourmet, the master of the headhunters, the warrior who defeated the Persians and the Scythians, Qin!"
"Ahh Elena exclaimed, seeming a little embarrassed, "This...... Can't live these people! ”
“……”
Of course, Elena's hotel is not that it can't accommodate Qin Rongshuai and his party, but there is no place to place the horses they brought, a total of sixty-seven war horses, and they need a large stable to install.
There was only one small stable for ten horses, which was the largest in the city of Athens.
Later, it was Elena who found a way to find a yard to temporarily tie the horse in, and then went to find fodder to feed the horse. Horses don't just eat grass, they need to eat oats and beans to supplement protein, and war horses need to eat well.
War horses eat 10 kilograms of hay and about 3 kilograms of concentrate a day. And yesterday and today, Qin Rongshuai and others only fed the horse some grass and beans, and now the horse urgently needs to supplement protein. A horse is nearly 13 kilograms, so 67 horses are more than 800 pounds, which will exhaust Elena's men to death.
Qin Rongshuai silently calculated, just the feeding of war horses is a big expense, and 67 horses need 6,030 kilograms a month just for concentrate. Based on the price of Athens, 10 kilograms of grain is about one drachma, so the monthly cost of feed is at least 600 drachmas, that is, 40 Dariuk gold coins.
Qin Rongshuai is very melancholy, he can't afford to raise war horses, no wonder the monthly salary of a cavalryman is twice that of an infantryman, and the extra money is basically eaten by the horse.
Hurry up and get some of these horses out, or he'll be bankrupt in the next month.
After following Elena through the cloister, she came to a luxuriously decorated room on the second floor, with a large Persian carpet on the floor, and a thick layer of straw mats on the wooden bed, which was very cool to the touch, and had a faint smell of grass, and I don't know what kind of plant it was woven from.
Qin Rongshuai was very satisfied with this clean and comfortable room, and generously took out two gold coins as a group of accommodation fees to pay Elena, which made the proprietress very happy.
At dinner, Qin Rongshuai specially asked someone to buy a sheep to roast, and as a reward for his subordinates, he also tasted the pure natural wine of this era, which tasted sweet and rich, and the alcohol content was not high, so he drank it as soon as he was happy.
Qin Rongshuai held his wine glass and said with a slightly drunken face: "Then play music, then dance." ”
When the people around heard this, they immediately looked at each other, this is a good drink, why did his boss suddenly remember to watch singing and dancing?
The Amazonian female warrior immediately stood up, "What dance the master wants to see, we will dance for you." ”
Qin Rongshuai reacted to his gaffe at this time, but since someone was willing to dance, he thought for a while and asked, "What will you all do?" ”
"We know a little bit about everything."
"In that case." Qin Rongshuai's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then, you guys should dance to the Pure Land of Bliss." ”
