Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 736
In Venice, there is something called the Tourist Village, which has cabins and sites for tents and RVs, plus a pizzeria, bar, beer garden and 24-hour laundromat for "poor tourists".

During World War II, the cuisine of the Italian army was recognized as the best, even better than that of the French. Even a daily meal once made a captured British officer think that he was going to eat a decapitated meal.

A fast food called ceccheti is popular in Venice. It provides veal balls, garlic meatballs, thistle hearts, octopus babies, cuttlefish babies, tomatoes and other foods. It is usually sold in bars. There are no seats in Venice bars. After eating and drinking just go.If you want to eat delicious food and have a seat, you need to spend money to really enjoy a big meal.

Charlotte was reluctant to eat in the Merchant of Venice written by Shakespeare. Who wants to be a miser like him?

Usually Venetians will have breakfast in their own homes or bars, while tourists will have breakfast in their hotels. The breakfast bought by Pomona is a sandwich, and the golden bread from Verona is stuffed with mushrooms and Mortadella, served with olives and cucumbers. And spicy aioli, served with a tall strawberry cocktail for a particularly refreshing twist.

She has never tried a cocktail in the morning, what do the Italians say?It's cute, Pomona took out cocktails, the bartender didn't criticize her at all, and even said "salud" to her, it's wrong to talk about military and politics with this kind of person, Italians are not born that way .

With the westward movement of the trade center, the business in Venice and even Italy is not as good as before. The predecessor of Gringotts was once located in the Lombardy area, and then moved to London.

The most important thing for the global financial market is actually two streets, one is Wall Street and the other is Lombard Street. Lombard Street in London was created by bankers and merchants in Lombardy, Italy, starting from the 14th century , They gradually converged on a street on the north bank of the Thames.

The goblins were going to convert Muggle currency into magic currency, and they had to try to put the Muggle currency back into circulation in the island Muggle society. As the Lombards moved away, they had to follow to England.

The Black Death had no effect on the goblins, but the Muggles were scared. They thought they would come back when the plague was over, but who knew that the New World had been discovered.

The Lombards ruled most of Italy for 200 years until they were conquered by another force active in Italian history, the Franks.

They are all Germanic peoples, and they can solve it in other ways, but they have to fight.

In fact, those backpackers are like gypsies, except that gypsies drive caravans and earn money while performing, while backpackers drive around the world in motorhomes.

If you don't have to be discriminated against, that kind of life is actually very free and happy.

There is really nothing worth visiting on Torcello Island, but the traces of Rome here are very heavy. Pomona found a tent from her pocket, found a place where no one was around, set it up, and then turned it into a deck chair to bask in the sun.

Monica and Alessandro, who saw the magic tent for the first time, saw everything new. They didn't expect that there was everything in such a small tent. After the novelty wore off, Monica also basked in the sun together.

At first, Severus Vampire Snape hid in the tent, as if trying to avoid being set alight by the sun, refusing to join them.Later, Alessandro said that there was a wine estate on the island, so they went to the "cellar" again.

The British are generally very pale. That's because the sky in the UK is covered with dark clouds all the year round. Most of the year is cloudy and rainy. The sun does not shine, and the skin is pale. The old bats that stay underground all the year round are paler than ordinary British people. No wonder people thought he was a vampire.

The complexion of Italians is the best in Europe, which is caused by the bright sunshine of the Mediterranean.

"Oh, this is life!" Monica sighed happily while lying on the deck chair beside her while basking in the sun and drinking strawberry cocktail.

There was no rule to continue going to the beach to bask in the sun, not to mention that it was far away from the church. Pomona really felt that she had made a wise decision.

It's your honeymoon, for heaven's sake don't think about those inauspicious things!
She roared inside, stop thinking about those annoying things, and enjoy this beautiful moment.

"How about our barbecue at noon, I saw you bought a lot of vegetables." Monica said.

She chooses between Michelin restaurants and open-air grills.

"Okay." She decisively chose to barbecue "but we need to buy some meat."

"How about the seafood?"

She has no opinion.

No wonder so many people love Venice so much.

"There are only two abandoned churches in Torcello now, and no tourists are willing to come. The government requires us to come to Torcello when we bring people to Burano." Monica said, "You are the strangest I have ever met. tourists."

"Don't ruin the atmosphere, Monica!" Pomona said with her eyes closed.

"What are Edgar and Sandy planning?" Monica asked. "I've never seen him so serious."

"Just an idea." Pomona said indifferently.

"what idea?"

"Establish a financial institution like the Swiss Bank in Venice, and replace tourism with a financial center."

"Do you think it's possible?" Monica asked after a moment of silence.

"You have to ask Papa, if the Vatican is willing to deposit money in the Bank of Venice, remember the party I said? It was held by the Marquis of Sweden, and there will be many celebrities attending. You only need to convince them, and you can bring Switzerland The bank's customers poached."

"Is it as simple as you said?"

"Why not, dear, this is a city of faith, you choose to believe when people in other places choose not to believe in God because of the Black Death, you are still celebrating Savior's Day and Health Day, Christmas in other places The festival is just a passing scene." Pomona said with emotion, "It was a shopping carnival for merchant promotions."

"Why do you have such an idea?" Monica asked in confusion.

"Napoleon said there was a sleeping lion in the east, and I hope they don't wake up," said Pomona. "Who do you think he's talking about?"

"Us?" Monica said uncertainly.

"Napoleon was an emperor who lacked self-confidence in front of women. He was a dwarf, so he destroyed the relief of the lion's mouth in your Doge's Palace, so as to give him some confidence. You are the lion. He has never been in contact with the Chinese. How did he know?" That sleeping lion is China."

"Why did you do that?"

"I like Venice. I like Titian more than Da Vinci. I can't watch such a beautiful city sink like this." She said, "I don't know what my husband's idea is. He did it outside I seldom ask questions."

"Just so it doesn't sink?" Monica said.

"That's right, I saw it in the Church of Our Lady of Ankang. In order to show God his loyalty, Abraham planned to sacrifice his only son Isaac, no matter what he sacrificed. Both the senator and the governor built the church, thank God for blessing the city, they Although he is a profiteer, he kept his promise, which is a valuable quality, especially for a banker who needs credibility.” She paused, and then asked, “Do you know why you chose November? Is the 11st the Health Festival? The other two important festivals are all chosen as weekends in July and September, and there is no special day chosen?"

"I don't know, can you tell me, witch?"

"That's going to be a long story." Pomona took a sip of her strawberry cocktail. "It involves the Crusades, the Templars, and the King of France."

"It's okay, I have plenty of time." Monica said, "And I think the story you tell will be very exciting."

So Pomona began to talk.

Napoleon claimed to be King of France and Italy, but the Italians did not recognize him.

He's just a little Corsican, only the French think he's the Emperor of France.

He took away a lot of art but lost the hearts of the people. No wonder a fool writer who wrote about Notre Dame would say that France and England are like robbers, and that "Attila's Throne" is right in front of Notre Dame.

Just like the arrangement of fate, I just don't know who will be chosen by fate to be the owner of that chair.
