627 The Legendary Tang Ping
"Ten gold coins?" Archduke John was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What is so expensive??" ”
The young man quickly explained: "We have someone to take a picture of you, and then the photo is exactly what you saw on the menu just now, exactly like the real thing, we can make such a big ...... for you"
He drew an A4 or so in size, and then continued: "When the time comes, you can hang it at home and record your wonderful travel experience." ”
Originally, Grand Duke John thought that ten gold coins were a bit expensive, but when he heard that it was as clear as the menu he had just seen, he was moved again.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, give money!" ”
His housekeeper took out ten gold coins, and the young man did not leave after taking it, but also pulled the bell, and soon another young man came, and after the two exchanged for a while, the young man left and called a Tang man.
Grand Duke John didn't expect that there were still Tang people here, so he asked the young people around him curiously.
"This kind of thing called taking pictures is only available in their Datang Dynasty, and our hotel was opened by Lord Earl and a Datang nobleman together." The young man explained, and the Tang people who came smiled and made a gesture to the young man.
The young man said to Archduke John, "He is ready, and the adults may assume a pose that you think is the most handsome or the most imposing." ”
"He can record whatever pose I make?? Is it going to take a long time? Archduke John asked, his waist was not so good, and he was very tired after sitting in some positions for a long time.
"It won't take long, it'll be fine in the blink of an eye."
Archduke John was a little unconvinced, but he still picked up a glass goblet and made a gesture that he thought was handsome.
"My lord, it's best if you look at him and smile!"
The young man reminded him, and Archduke John did so, and then he heard a click.
The Tang man on the other side put down the strange thing in his hand.
"That's it??" If he hadn't seen so much of the magic of this hotel, Archduke John would have felt like he was playing with himself.
"It's already done." With the young man's words, the Tang man walked over and let himself look at the black thing that he had just faced him.
Archduke John was surprised to find that the way he was holding his glass was actually on it.
"Your Excellency only has to wait one night, and tomorrow morning you can ask your servant to go to the front desk to pick up the photos."
After the young man finished speaking, he bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, we will not disturb the adults." ”
Archduke John looked at the food in front of him, thinking about what had just happened, and felt more and more the mystery of this hotel.
Needless to say, the food is much better than what I usually eat.
If he hadn't left here to meet the king in the capital, the food alone would have allowed him to stay here.
After lunch, Archduke John's butler came to report that Fabialo had come and wanted to see him.
Archduke John also wanted to meet Fabialo, he had too many things to ask Fabialo.
"Archduke John, it's an honor to meet you."
"Fabianlo, don't be polite, your hotel is really amazing."
Then Archduke John couldn't wait to ask all the questions of the day.
"Inside the toilet is a glass mirror? Made of glass? “
"The toilet smells so good when you use perfume?"
"The reason why the bed is hot is because there's a kang down there?"
Although Fabialo basically gave answers to the things he was curious about, he still didn't understand a lot, but he was too embarrassed to ask again.
"If you have time, I can show you around this hotel." Fabianlo sent out an invitation.
Archduke John was already curious, and of course readily agreed.
So Fabialo took him around the hotel.
Turning around, Archduke John realized that this place was so big.
Suites are all based on titles.
The Royal Suite is more luxurious than the Duke Suite.
The Marquis Suite is a little worse, for example, the glass mirror in the toilet is not there.
The Earl Suite is a bit worse and doesn't have that magical menu.
Archduke John not only did not feel unfair about this, but took it for granted.
Those marquis and counts came, even if they were rich, how could they enjoy the same enjoyment as their duke?
In addition to these suites, there are a number of communal areas, including a casino, a bar and a hairdressing area.
"What is this haircut and beauty?" Archduke John asked curiously.
Fabianlo explained to him: "The barbers here are trained to trim your beard and hair to make you look more handsome. ”
Archduke John looked at Fabianlo's delicate beard and hair, and said with some emotion: "No wonder I saw Fabianolo today and felt a little different from last time!" ”
"Would the Grand Duke want to try it?" Fabianlo sent out an invitation.
Archduke John looked at Billo and felt that his hair and beard were indeed well trimmed, so he nodded.
Half an hour later, Archduke John, who had washed his hair and had a head massage, walked out of the hair salon refreshed.
"Yes, I do feel that people are in a lot of energy, and where is the beauty room next to it?"
"It was for aristocratic ladies, mainly aromatherapy and beauty, and there were some beauty products in it."
Hearing that it was used by the noble lady, Archduke John was not interested, and then looked at the empty lawn in front of him and asked, "How is this vacant?" Is there anything else to repair? ”
"No, it's a football stadium."
"Soccer field?"
"Yes, this stadium can be used for football matches, and adults can send their own servants to participate." Fabianlo smiled confidently and said: "I can guarantee that football is really the most glamorous sport in the world, there is no one. ”
After a round tour, Archduke John was also an eye-opener.
"Fabialo, these were all taught to you by that Tang nobleman?" Archduke John asked.
He didn't believe Fabiano could come up with so many good ideas and so many good things at once. If Fabiano had such a skill, he would not have had to wait until today.
"Nope!" Fabialo nodded unabashedly and said: "It is indeed these businesses that he has joined forces with a Tang nobleman, he is a duke from the Tang Empire, Lord Tang." ”
"Datang? Tang Dynasty? ”
For the Tang Dynasty, Archduke John is still very unfamiliar.
"More than half a year ago, those Arab pirates were wiped out by Lord Tang's men." Fabialo introduced the glorious deeds of Tang Ping.
"What? Did his people do it? "Not many people know about this yet, but everyone has just noticed that the rampant Arab pirates have disappeared.
But I don't know who did it.
Now there's a new group of pirates called Vikings.
But those pirates say they are pirates, but they are more bodyguards at sea.
Because if you give them a fee, they will give you a flag, and as long as your merchant ship bears the flag of the Vikings, they will not only not trouble you, but will help you when you are in trouble.
If you're robbed by other pirates, they can even help you get it back.
"In fact, Damascus, the capital of the Arab Empire, was also attacked by Lord Tang." Fabialo dropped another bombshell: "At that time, war was declared on the Arab Empire because the Arab Empire slaughtered five hundred members of his caravan. ”
"What? It was because of the five hundred people in the caravan that he led the Tang army to destroy the once-prosperous Arab Empire? ”
Archduke John looked incomprehensible, wasn't it five hundred? How much is it worth? Just for this, to destroy the Arab Empire?
Fabiano smiled smugly and said, "I didn't understand it at first, but it's actually very reassuring to make friends with someone like Lord Tang, isn't it?" ”
Archduke John nodded approvingly.
It is undoubtedly quite dangerous to be an enemy with someone like Tang Ping, but as Fabiano said, it is quite comfortable to be friends with him.
Since he could declare war on another powerful empire for the sake of his caravans, he naturally had nothing to say to his friends.
"And the new King of Wessex is actually a friend of Don, and the departure of the previous King Egbert was also facilitated by Lord Tang."
"Huh? I see! "European aristocrats also like to eat melons.
There are many theories as to why Egbert left Wessex at a time when he was in full swing.
There are countless kinds of big melons, but none of them are ripe.
Today, Grand Duke John has eaten ripe melons.
"Tell me more!" Pulling Fabialo to sit in a pavilion, someone immediately brought two stoves and put them down, and then two cups of hot tea were brought up.
"Fabiano, you really have everything in mind here, I'm at home...... No, even if our Majesty the King is in the palace, I'm afraid he won't have such a good enjoyment! ”
Fabiano modestly shook his head and said, "These employees ...... We call the civilians who work here employees, and the training of these employees is also done by Mr. Tang, who is really a great businessman. ”
Then he told Archduke John what he knew, how Tang Ping took the Vikings at that time, how to negotiate with Egbert, and so on.
After hearing this, Archduke John still felt unsatisfied, and asked Fabialo: "Isn't this Archduke Don in Porto?" ”
"Hmm." Fabiano nodded and said, "A week later, the fashion flagship store we opened together opened, and Grand Duke Tang went to ship the last batch of goods." ”
Speaking of this, Fabialo bowed slightly to Archduke John with gratitude and said, "I originally thought that the Archduke was not free to come, but I didn't expect you to really come after receiving my invitation." ”
"Today's staff didn't know your identity at first, and I will ask them to refund the cost of the Grand Duke's stay in our hotel this time."
"Invitation letter ......" Archduke John muttered in his heart, and then understood, I was afraid that his housekeeper knew that he was going to the national capital at this time, so he didn't show it to himself when he saw the invitation.
Hmph, it's really getting more and more unruly, if you hadn't come here by accident, wouldn't you have missed a lot of wonderful things?
"Hahahaha!" I thought so in my heart, but Archduke John had a smile on his face: "Fabianlo, I can't come to you for nothing, right?" You don't have to refund the room fee or something, if you really want to ......"
Archduke John was a little embarrassed and said, "Just give me the mirror in the toilet!" ”
After finishing speaking, he also blushed slightly, and he even had to ask for things in other people's toilets.
But he really liked that mirror.
Fabialo didn't expect Archduke John to make such a request, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately said: "Of course there is no problem, but the Archduke ...... In fact, in seven days, our fashion flagship store will also have mirrors for sale, why don't you let me give you a better one? ”
"Good!" When Archduke John heard that there was something better, where was he unwilling, his face smiled brighter and brighter: "Fabianlo, you are very good! Don't worry, I will definitely recommend you in front of the king and other grand dukes when I go to the capital this time. ”
This was originally Fabianlo's purpose, and when he heard Archduke John say this, although he was modest, he asked someone to give Archduke John a lot of things.
That included a wad of toilet paper and a bar of soap.
The two were talking happily, and a hotel employee came over, holding a photo frame in his hand, and the photo taken by Grand Duke John just now had been typed out by the Datang employee sent here by Tang Ping.
This thing could have been printed in a few minutes, and Tang Ping specially connected a solar panel at the back of the hotel, and some small electrical appliances can be used.
It is said that it will take a day, but it just makes everyone feel that it is not so easy to make things.
Fabialo took the frame and handed it to Archduke John: "I just knew that this is yours of the Grand Duke, so I told them to hurry up and make it." ”
When Archduke John took it, he felt that the painting was just like what he saw in his mirror.
The only thing I regret is that this is before I trim my hair and beard.
But it doesn't matter, such a painting is only ten gold coins, which is more expensive than hiring a court painter to paint it, but it feels more worthwhile.
It's good to spend money to draw one next time, he's already embarrassed to eat and take it here today.
"How many people have come to your fashion flagship store?" Archduke John asked.
Fabiano said with some embarrassment: "Maybe everyone has been slow lately, except for the Grand Duke, there are only a few...... Barons and viscounts nearby. ”
Fabianlo is, after all, a lord in a poor country with limited influence, and although the last auction was a bit of a success, there was no follow-up.
And because he used to be beautiful, many nobles of the same level as him didn't want to see him, so he sent a lot of invitations this time, but there were very few people invited to participate.
"Hmph, these illiterate things!" Archduke John thought for a while and said, "In this way, can you delay the opening time?" After I went to the capital, I not only helped you invite other grand dukes, but I also invited you to bring your majesty. ”
"Really?" Fabianlo's face was full of surprise: "If you can, then trouble Archduke John." ”
