Chapter 13 I Can't Live With These People (Please collect and recommend tickets)

What Qin Rongshuai took out was a promotional brochure printed by his company, which not only printed pictures of places of interest and text information, but also had a special page introducing the company's travel consultants, and a photo of Qin Rongshuai in a suit was also printed on it.

"This is an official official document of our country, and it has my identity certificate on it." Qin Rongshuai pondered for a few seconds, and with inexplicable shame, slowly unfolded the booklet, and then handed it to Themis.

Demis' eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at the exquisite pictures and texts on the booklet with an incredulous expression, and was stunned for a moment.Not only him, but even the Athenians next to him opened their mouths wide, unable to close them for a long time.

Greece has always claimed to be the center of civilization, with a developed economy and culture. As a commercial center, the people of Athens are also well-informed. They have never seen anything, but this thing is really new.

They have never seen such a beautiful official document, the material is so light and convenient, hard interpretation, smoother than the papyrus they use every day.

What is even more amazing is that the text on it is neatly arranged and the size is exactly the same, and the pictures drawn on it are like a paradise scene, lifelike.

Qin Rongshuai found his own photo and pointed it to Demis, "Hey, this is me, with my name written on it."

Demis bite the bullet and looked at it, nodded as if he understood it, then carefully took the booklet, read it carefully, and then passed it on to others around him.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency, what is the name of your country and how big is it?" After confirming his identity, Themis' tone was naturally more polite.

"I'm from China. Its territory is bigger than the whole of Europe, bigger than the countries around the Mediterranean Sea plus Persia!" Qin Rongshuai let go of his bragging at this time. Anyway, the Greeks couldn't prove it. Naturally, he said What is what.

"It is bounded by the boundless ocean to the east, the end of the world's land to the north, and borders Persia to the west. It has a huge population, which is the total population of the world you know. It has a splendid civilization, and its history is comparable to that of Egypt and Babylon. Just as long ago."

Qin Rongshuai stunned the Athenians for a while. At this time, Themis once again expressed his most sincere apology for what happened before, and invited him to his home as a guest. He wanted to entertain this envoy well, and then called all the people tomorrow. Officials met with him with great formality.

Naturally, there was no need to be a guest at Themis' home, because Croesus had already contacted the hotel, and he insisted on going there, and boasted how luxurious and warm that place was, as warm as home.

Of course Qin Rongshuai would not refute his secretary's reputation, so he readily agreed to Croesus' proposal.

When a group of them passed through the Athens Parliament Square and came to the other side of the city, they saw a tall two-story building from a distance. Looking from the open door, the inside was very spacious and bright, and rows of flowers were placed on the window sill. It's very delicate.

Qin Rongshuai nodded, quite satisfied with this place, "Very good."

"This is the best hotel in Athens!" Krosos looked very proud, showing off.

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman suddenly rushed out from the yard and shouted: "Crossus, you bastard!"

Caught off guard, Krosos was hugged in his arms and strangled his neck severely. The poor clerk could only struggle hard, but he couldn't break free.

The woman holding Krossos looked to be in her 20s, wearing a blue linen dress, she was beautiful, with a plump and strong figure, and she easily made the secretary to death.

"Let go of me, Elena, damn it, it's on the street."

"You bastard, where did you go? I'm going to take care of you!"

"Don't pull my clothes, I brought my friends to stay here with you, please let me go!"

Aha, no wonder Croesus highly recommended this hotel. It turned out that he was an old acquaintance with the owner here.

But throwing dog food in front of everyone is really immoral. Qin Rongshuai coughed hard a few times before interrupting the two of them talking about the old days.

After the two reluctantly parted, Crosus tidied up his clothes and said proudly, "I'm working with this distinguished gentleman now, and I'm his clerk."

"Please allow me to introduce this noble man, he is the envoy of the Eastern Kingdom, the patron of Apollo, the fire thief, the top gourmet, the master of headhunters, the person who defeated the Persians and the Scythians. Warrior, Qin!"

"Ah!" Elena exclaimed, seeming a bit embarrassed, "This... can't accommodate these people!"

"..."

Of course, Elena's hotel was not unable to accommodate Qin Rongshuai and his party, but that there was no room for the horses they brought. There were 67 war horses in total, and a large stable was needed to accommodate them.

And there is only one small stable for ten horses in the hotel, which is still the largest in Athens.

Later, it was Elena who found a way to find a yard to temporarily tie the horse inside, and then went to look for 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 need to eat 10 kilograms of hay and about 3 kilograms of concentrate a day.Moreover, yesterday and today's running, Qin Rongshuai and others only fed the horse some grass and beans. Now the horse is in urgent need of protein supplement.One horse weighs nearly 13 kilograms, so 67 horses weigh more than 800 kilograms, which will tire Elena's man to death.

Qin Rongshuai silently calculated that just feeding the war horses was a huge expense. The 67 horses needed 6030 kilograms of fine feed alone in a month.Calculated based on the prices in Athens, 10 kilograms of grain cost about one drachma silver coin, so a month's cost of feed would cost at least 600 drachmas, which is 40 large gold coins.

Qin Rongshuai was very melancholy. He couldn't afford to feed his war horses. No wonder a cavalryman's monthly salary was twice that of an infantryman. The extra money basically went to the horses.

Hurry up and sell some of these war horses, otherwise he will go bankrupt in the second month.

After following Elena through the corridor, I came to a luxuriously decorated room on the second floor. The floor was covered with a large Persian carpet, and the wooden bed was covered with a thick straw mat. It has a faint grass fragrance, and I don't know what kind of plant it is made of.

Qin Rongshuai was very satisfied with this clean and comfortable room. He generously took out two gold coins and paid Elena as the accommodation fee for the group, which made the landlady very happy.

At dinner, Qin Rongshuai specially ordered someone to buy a sheep and roast it to reward his men. He also tasted the pure natural wine of this era. It tasted sweet and rich, and the alcohol content was not high. He drank it when he was happy. .

Holding his wine glass, Qin Rongshuai said with a slightly drunken face, "Go on with the music and dance."

When the people around him heard this, they immediately looked at each other. They were drinking so well, why did my boss suddenly think of watching a song and dance?
The Amazon female warrior immediately stood up and said, "Whatever dance Master wants to see, we will dance it for you."

Only then did Qin Rongshuai realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, but since someone was willing to dance, he thought for a while and asked, "What do you all know?"

"We can dance a little bit of everything."

"In that case." Qin Rongshuai's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then, you can dance to the Pure Land of Paradise."
