Chapter 1010 Take luck

  The English "Mafia" of the Mafia is derived from Arabic, meaning "fleeing".

The term    was borrowed to refer to a group of middle-aged men living in Sicily. At that time, Sicily was occupied by Turks and Normans. They were organized to protect their families from harassment by these invaders. Later, this group evolved into a group of people who privately enforced the law for revenge, and then evolved into a criminal organization.

  In the local area, it is an honor to be a member of the Mafia. It will be called "mafioso", which means "manofhonour". The origin of the Mafia has nothing to do with secret organizations in the Middle Ages.

The second part of   The Godfather of the movie tells about the process by which His Excellency Vito Kleon made his fortune in the United States. There is a story Pomona is very impressed. There is a widow who raises a puppy to relieve her loneliness. However, this dog likes to bark and annoys the neighbors around him. They unite to give advice to the landlord. Either the puppy walked or they walked.

The landlord is from northern Italy. He is educated and looks down on the illiterate southerners from Sicily and Naples. He neglects management of his cheap apartment, allows cockroaches and mice to gnaw the walls, and is always worried about his investment income. Not going back to the original, so he is particularly irritable.

  He heard the tenant's request, so he took advantage of this opportunity to increase the rent to the widow, saying that he wanted to rent to a new guest.

  The widow was desperate, she had no money, and her friends were in this apartment again, so she asked Vito Kryon for help, and he agreed to her request.

  On the street, Vito Kryon stopped the landlord and negotiated with him politely: Seeing that everyone is Italian, I beg you for your personal favor.

  The landlord still has an arrogant attitude. Northern Italians have always been like this. How can there be a magnificent city in a country with only citrus and olive trees?

  Northern Italy is closer to France and Germany, and is more consistent with the EU in terms of ideology and behavior standards, and the economy is more developed.

  People in southern Italy recognize that life is more leisurely than hurried work. They pay more attention to the enjoyment of life, the pace of life is relatively slow, people appear more lazy, have a heavier family concept, and have a passion for life.

   But in the eyes of the landlord, this passion means that southerners will stabb him at any time.

When Vito Kryon stopped him, he reluctantly, although he and the unknown young man yelled, "What are you, dare to give me orders and show me respect, otherwise your Sicilian **** Go on the streets!" Shi did not seem to worry that the passionate Sicilian would stabb him with a knife.

Vito Kryon has always been very polite to him, insisting on squeezing the money into the hands of the landlord as an expression of his goodwill. As a result, the landlord knocked on the door of Vito Kryon’s house that night and kept that The goodwill money was returned to "Your Excellency Kryon."

  The widow can still live in the low-cost apartment facing the railway, with all four dark rooms, without raising the rent, and she can also keep the annoying dog.

  In terms of money, southern Italy is very different from northern Italy. Italian women in the south do not control property. If you want to spend money on food, you need to find a man, while in the north, women control property.

  Northern men believe in "happy wives and happy lives", women want to buy whatever they want.

  The landlord is from northern Italy, so he is a good husband and a good father. It is precisely because of this that he is so worried about money and investment.

Vito Kryon later opened an olive oil shop, the same is olive oil. The price of olive oil and virgin olive oil used by ordinary people is very different. Kryon's fancy is the civilian business, and his two subordinates visit Manhattan one by one. Every grocery store in Brooklyn, Bronx, and persuaded the owner to sell olive oil imported from Italy, he will go out in person when he meets the owner who cannot be convinced by his subordinates.

   Vito Creon had a reputation for being “reasonable” when he was young. He did not give the shopkeepers “reasons that could not be refused”, but relied on his terrible persuasive power to get the grocery store owner to agree.

As his business expanded, he inevitably had competitors. Several olive oil wholesalers in Brooklyn refused to cooperate with him. As a result, their olive oil warehouses were burned and their trucks loaded with olive oil were dumped. On the cobblestone road, a tea-green lake was formed. A hot-headed Milanese actually reported to the American police, breaking the thousand-year-old rule of silence. Before the police's case could progress, he evaporated, leaving behind his wife and three who loved him deeply. child.

Compared with the backcountry of the south, northern Italy is more fashionable and modern, and the south is more dreamy and romantic, but this is only relatively speaking. The pace of life in small towns in the Alps like Elaine, Milan and Turin is still slower than the pace of life. It is much more, and there is no trace of modernization. It is still as primitive as it was in the Middle Ages. Most of the residents living in the town are elderly, and none of them speak English.

  Fortunately, there are many clubs for mountaineering enthusiasts. The location of the town is a trekking resort from Durin into the Alps. It is also a famous black truffle producing area. There are many guides who understand English.

  The small town is built on the hills. At first glance, it looks like a rural village in southern France. There is a tea-green lake next to the town. Not far away is the towering snow-capped mountains. In summer, the hills will be covered by meadows.

  Everything in the town is so vibrant that it is hard to believe that there is an entrance to **** in the mountains behind the town.

The most popular drink in town is a golden tinder beer, but drinking it early in the morning does not seem to be so suitable, so she checked in at the hotel and put down her luggage, Pomona held Severus. With his hand, dragging the drawing box to "sketch from life".

   "Run slower!"

  Pomona warned when Felix was spreading joy on the grass.

   "We are really in Italy!" Felix exclaimed excitedly, "It's amazing! Oh!"

   "This place is like a lunatic asylum." Severus complained with dissatisfaction, "Why do Italians like gestures that are more exaggerated."

  Pomona thinks deeply.

The Italians seem to think that jumping in the queue is not a big deal. There is a delicious mullet in the small town. Many people line up to buy it. The queue is loose and casual. Pomona originally planned to buy a few to eat at the picnic. Those who jumped in the queue were dissuaded from leaving.

  The Bernese people don’t need to jump in the line, because people are as rare as bears. It is estimated that the two of them look like mental patients in the eyes of the Swiss. There are no bears in the bear park. What do they go there early in the morning?

  Swiss don’t like to greet others proactively, while Italians keep talking.

  It seems that an Alps is not only blocking the clouds.

"There are a few farmhouses outside the town, let's try our luck there." Pomona pointed to the small wooden houses that stand alone in the wild. They are different from the wooden houses that Swiss live in in summer. They seem to live all year round. Yes, there are fences around the wooden house, where many livestock and poultry are kept.

   "I don't think they will know anything."

   "You have to ask to know." Pomona was careful to avoid a pile of cow dung. "Damn it, Tibetans will pick up cow dung for firewood!"

   "I don't know how to eat food cooked with cow dung!" He warned viciously, "and dragon dung."

  Pomona looked at him and shook her head.

   is really a spoiled city boy.

  As they approached one of the farmhouses, their shepherd dog suddenly began to yell.

  At first, Pomona thought it was a white dog, but when she approached, she realized that it was an albino dog.

For humans, rabbits, and rodents, the eyes with albinism will turn pink. Normal hare eyes are black. Rabbits with white and pink eyes are actually albinism. Dogs with albinism will change their eye color. It is blue, and the nose is also pink.

   Dogs with white hair and black eyes or nose are sometimes confused for albinism. Really albino dogs are very rare. It barks hostilely at them. Not long after, a little boy walked out of the house with a shovel.

   "Hi! Hello!" Pomona beckoned to him friendly.

  "What's the matter with you?" the boy asked in English.

   "You raised this dog?" Pomona asked.

   "Yes." The boy said suspiciously.

   "Your shepherd dog seems to have albinism."

   "I know that, we raised it deliberately."

  "Are you raising it to defend against dwarf monsters?"

  The little boy's eyes widened suddenly.

"how do you know!"

  Pomona shrugged at Severus. "Look, I said it, take your luck."
