"Let's have dinner then."
"Ok."
After Malena entered the house, she looked at the house curiously. The furnishings inside were much more luxurious than hers.
Russell invited her to sit down and laid out a napkin for her.
It was already dark outside, and candles were lit inside the house.
After Sylvana finished her meal, she left in a sensible way.
"Marlena, I hope you like it."
"Of course, I like it very much, thank you for your dinner."
Russell got up and poured red wine and handed it to her, "Tonight is the happiest night I've ever had back in Sicily."
"Me too, Mr. Corleone."
At present, the two have not pierced the window paper and are in an ambiguous period.
Anyway, Russell was in no hurry.
As the saying goes, there are all kinds of life, and all kinds of links have to be experienced.
If he and Marlena went straight to the last step, it wouldn't be interesting.
The experience is the process. May I ask who has had an affair with Marlena sincerely?Who has been in love with her?
The end of dinner does not mean that life suddenly ends, and the extinguishing of the candles does not mean that life is over.
Of course, both he and Marina had enjoyed the dinner.
Russell walked her home just before curfew.
In front of Marina's house.
She held Russell's hand and said, "Can Sylvana send you the cloth tomorrow? I want to make another suit for you. Please don't give me money, can you?"
"Of course, Malena, you are ingenious and handy, and I really like the clothes you make."
Malena nodded: "Thank you for your liking. Then I will go back."
"Ok."
She bit her lip lightly, turned around and walked to the courtyard, opened the door and walked into the house. When she turned around and closed the door, she saw Russell still standing outside waving goodbye to her.
Marlena also raised her hand and waved.
The moment the door closed, her back leaned against the door panel.
Her heart was beating faster and faster. She covered her heart with her hand, touched her mouth again, and looked down at her palm again.
The palms are covered with sweat, unconsciously thinking.
You won't get Mr. Corleone's water, will you?
However, she was really happy tonight.
From the heartbreak when Castile passed away, to meeting Mr. Corleone, and to the rapid heartbeat now, Marlena felt like she was living in a dream.
Marlena suddenly figured it out.
She shouldn't be in the eyes of the outside world. If Mr. Corleone is really willing to marry her, then Marlena is also willing from the bottom of her heart, even grateful!
Marlena walked to the window and opened the gauze curtains, just in time to see Russell turn and leave.
At this moment, she made up her mind.
"I'm sorry, Castile. You're right. Mr. Corleone is really a good man. It's time for me to forget about you and pick up my life again."
Chapter 21 The bandits are too rampant, Russell's knife and gun
The branches and leaves are yellowing, and the beautiful scenery of Sicily is charming.
Time flies, and a few days have passed in a blink of an eye.
During the period, Russell went to the mayor of Salvaltore, and the two gave a speech in the center of the town square. Russell made it clear that he would find the murderer who killed the dentist couple and Ottoby, and give an explanation to the town residents.
The mayor panicked and expressed that he would cooperate actively, vowing to eliminate those nasty fugitives and bandits, and restore Sicily to a peaceful and peaceful environment.
Salvaltore is indeed a veteran mayor, and he can always focus on the key points when dealing with things, which makes Russell very satisfied.
In terms of business, the food import and export trade led by Olivia is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
He obeyed Russell's order, summoned [-] workers, repackaged the food, and sent it to the German army camp. Schneider, the person in charge, was very satisfied. Looking at the packaging, he knew that it was quite expensive high-quality food, and he happily paid for the purchase amount.
As for how much Schneider can get paid, that is his own business, and has nothing to do with Russell. Both sides benefit, and everyone is happy.
The chamber of commerce at the Tunisian wharf has grown again. At present, more than 30 businessmen have gathered here to sell the goods unloaded from the wharf to the inland, and make huge profits from it.
When Olijato came back, he brought back three shipments of shredded tobacco, which were directly sent to the cigarette factory for processing, and then Niveno would organize people to transport the finished cigarettes to all parts of Sicily.
The profit of the last food trade was 195 million. Russell personally handed out bonuses and remuneration to his outstanding subordinates, and Olyato himself received a bonus of [-] and a remuneration of [-].
The cigarette factory's profit is even higher, almost reaching 80 a week, and it is increasing every week.
why?
Because of the war, a large amount of cigarettes and drinks in Sicily were supplied to the army, and civilians could not enjoy cheap cigarettes at all. It just so happened that Sicilian brand cigarettes were born, intercepted the civilian market, and achieved amazing sales.
A few days ago, Nivino applied to Russell to expand the cigarette factory, because the supply is already in short supply!
Even certain German barracks were purchasing mint-flavored Sicilian cigarettes.
However, Russell did not agree on the spot. For the cigarette factory, the current foundation is not stable. There are many reasons, such as the government, the war, the German army...
So hastily expanding the cigarette factory will only bring disaster.
Philisto has more than [-] subordinates, and they usually walk around the streets of various towns to collect useful information.When there is trouble, it is their turn to strike.
The nature of the legion is like this, if you don't use it normally, you have to do whatever you can to support it, otherwise Russell will not spend money to support idlers.
That evening, Philisto drove Russell to the cigarette factory.
Olijato and Nivino have been waiting for a long time.
"godfather."
"boss."
Seeing Russell, the two greeted him respectfully.
There are several tableware, drinks and cigarettes on the dining table in the house.
"sit down."
"Yes!"
After sitting down, Russell lit a cigar and asked, "How about what I asked you to do?"
Olijatu and Nivino glanced at each other, and Nivino immediately said: "I found two wineries in the west, but these two wineries are small workshops, and the brewing equipment inside is covered with rust Doesn't meet the boss's requirements."
Olijato said: "There is a winery in a town not far from Palermo. I heard that it has a history of [-] years. The winery produces and sells itself, but the taste of the brewed wine is not good, and it is all backlogged in the warehouse..."
Russell looked up: "How much does the owner of the winery want to sell?"
"60, pay in gold."
"Heh, give him 40 worth of gold, and Philisto will talk to you."
"Ok."
The war will end in a few years, but Sicily has not been affected yet. After the Allied forces arrive, it will be too late to buy a winery, which will be several times more expensive.
Only by taking advantage of the chaos of the war can we find some bargains.
"After the winery is acquired, Niveno will be responsible for finding artisans who can make wine."
"Ok."
Russell waved, "Let's have dinner."
"Thank you Godfather."
The three of them made gestures of prayer and gratitude, and then they saw Russell move the cutlery first, and then they picked up the knife to cut the steak.
Dessert time.
Olijatu heard someone calling him, so he went out for a while, and when he came back again, his face darkened.
He came up to Russell, bent down and said in a low voice, "Godfather, our food truck has been robbed."
Russell put down his cigar, turned his head and frowned: "Oh?"
"In the plains near Catania, more than 30 people from the other side rode horses, shot and killed one of our transport drivers and three loading and unloading workers, and snatched two cars full of food."
The voice fell, the room was silent, and the atmosphere was very serious.
Russell picked up the cigar and took a puff silently.
Breathe out the smoke.
During World War II, Sicily spawned many bandits, some of whom were hunted down by Mussolini and fled into the mountains.Some are caused by hunger, so they have to become bandits.
They plundered the rich in Sicily, and their methods were extremely cruel. They often sneaked into the manor of the rich and looted them all, and then hung the rich until they died.
Originally, Russell wanted to find a group of bandits at random and blame them for the deaths of the dentist couple and Ottoby.Unexpectedly, they delivered it to the door by themselves.
Not only robbed his goods, but also shot his people.
Simply unbearable!
Russell extinguished the cigar, and ordered: "Except for the workers in the cigarette factory, everyone else stops where they are, and disperses to find those bandits!"
"Since they dared to rob two carts of food, they definitely won't be able to consume it in a short time, and maybe sell some of it. Olijato went to the black market to find out if anyone was selling food. Philisto asked your people to wipe the gun Brighten up, they're going to see blood!"
"Those who rob my goods and kill me. Then they should pay in blood!"
The three responded solemnly: "Yes!"
"After you find someone, don't act rashly. I will kill them myself."
"As you wish, Godfather!"
The three left and went about their own business.
Olijatu came to the pier and called the stevedore and his men together.
"Who gave you food?"
"Mr. Corleone!"
Olijatu asked loudly: "Now some people don't want Mr. Corleone to give you this bowl of rice, what should we do?"
"Get rid of him!"
"Let him die!"
Oliatu nodded and said: "Near Catania, our goods were robbed by bandits. Mr. Corleone said that everyone stopped working and went out to find these bandits! But don't act rashly, because the godfather will be killed by bandits." The four dead brothers will take revenge with their own hands!"
A dark night, a farm on the edge of a small town.
Philisto gathered more than thirty people here, all of them were riding tall horses and holding guns.
"The godfather spent money to support you and your family! Let you have enough food and clothing, and let you live a good life."
Philisto held a Thompson submachine gun in his hand, commonly known as a Chicago typewriter, and stared at them with a serious face.
"Now, the time has come for the godfather to use us. What are we?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Godfather's knife! Godfather's gun!"
"Very well, we are the godfather's swords and guns. Now someone has robbed the godfather's goods. We need to get the goods back, but we can't startle the snake..."
"Yes!"
At the same time, Niwe Nuo also mobilized his contacts and asked his men to find clues.
For a moment, figures at various exits of the town swayed and rushed towards Catania.
