Chapter 766 Pigeon and Deer



There are many Indians in Piazza San Marco who earn tips by serving tourists.

Those pigeons generally have an eye for food, and they will not approach tourists if they are not given food, and the tourists will be forced to chase them.

At this time, the police patrolling the square will stop and warn tourists not to feed the pigeons too much food, otherwise the pigeons will eat too much feces and pollute the exterior walls of the buildings.

However, if tourists get close to those Indians, or are accosted by them, and they help tourists take pictures, etc., then the police will not care about the problem of pigeons eating too much or pooping too much, and those Indians will give tourists a handful each

The pigeons swarmed over him. Taking this opportunity, he pressed the Polaroid shutter, and the scene was frozen. A photo costs 80 euros, and some are more expensive, depending on the naivety of the tourists.

Generally speaking, Indians in these squares will not mess with single male tourists, they will look for female tourists, whether she is alone or with several girls.

This situation is different from the deer in Nara. The deer in Nara are all highway robbers. They will bow like people first, and will become very aggressive if they don't give senbei. Who would take a photo with such a "mean" deer.

These pigeons are not as intelligent as deer, but they represent peace and go well with the church. There is no need to spend money on pigeon food. Tourists can bring their own. At this time, the police will come out to stop them. Taking photos will cost money, the male tourist said.

If he doesn't take pictures, then these Indians won't force him. Female tourists are much more "easy" and just hand over the money and take the pictures.

A photo of 80 euros is enough for two people to have a good lunch even in Venice. While people praise the beauty of Cupid, they also deceive her with a snake-like cunning heart, turning around and thinking that Cupid is stupid.

It’s not cheap to rent a gondola for a day. It only costs 80 euros during the day to ride for 40 minutes, and it’s a boat with not very luxurious decoration. But they have local tour guide Monica, as well as big financiers Gianluca and Alessandro

He sent them home last night and didn't come out until the afternoon, but his father's boatman friends all seemed to know Monica, so they enjoyed the "chartered car" treatment.

"Why is that clock gone?" When she got on the boat, Pomona looked up and glanced at the time on the San Marco bell tower. It was just after eight o'clock, but the twelve zodiac signs were not at their original positions. It was 12 noon.

The position was replaced by Aquarius.

"Isn't your Big Ben spinning?" Gianluca said, staring at him with goldfish eyes.

"No, that constellation..."

"That's just an ordinary clock, don't look at it." Monica interrupted their conversation, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I haven't, but I guess it's okay for you to have another breakfast, right? Honey." Severus said with a smirk. "This is your house's specialty."

"Why are you so mean!"

"Watch your waistline, your beauty is the last thing you have left to boast about."

"You won't want me anymore if I gain weight?"

"of course not……"

"I don't even care about your appearance, but you dislike me. Don't judge people by their appearance, it will make you look superficial!"

The old bat was speechless after Pomona talked back to him, Monica covered her mouth and laughed out loud, and Gianluca smiled with a smile on his face, as if he felt that this scene was worth the price of admission.

"Where are we going?" the boatman asked cheerfully.

"Palazzo Rezzonico." Monica said to the two of them again, "Let's visit the popular attractions today."

The boatman pushed the shore with his oar, and the boat began to swim along the intricate waterways of Venice.

It is not easy to remember the way in this maze-like city, not to mention the high and low tides. If tourists rent a boat and do not know how to row, or if they violate traffic regulations, they will be fined by the police.

The police in Venice are like this. Not only are they inefficient, they are also very clean. They don't have the strict feeling of the Parliament of Ten.

"Can the three estuaries be backfilled?" Severus asked Gianluca as if he had nothing to say. "Build a salt bridge at the estuaries, so that there is no need to build an air valve dam on the seabed."

"It doesn't work." Gianluca said expressionlessly, "Cargo ships from Malague Industrial Zone also have to enter the port from the lagoon."

"According to me, that industrial zone should be banned." The boatman said as he paddled the oar, "There is a lot of industrial sewage discharged there, and all the fish are dead. I used to be a fisherman, but now I have become a boatman."

"After the bridge is built, big ships can't come in." Pomona said helplessly, "It just means fewer tourists."

"What time did you go back from playing at the Governor's Palace last night?" Monica asked.

"It's past 8 o'clock. We had pizza last night."

"How about I take you to eat something delicious?" Monica said.

"You can try the new Italian dish, roasted suckling pig with lemon and sage, plus sliced ​​cheese and raspberry jam, chopped pistachios, and you will know what Stairway to Heaven is." The boatman said enthusiastically.

"Seafood is not all there in Venice." Monica said, "You can also try innovative dishes."

"Isn't this too greasy for breakfast?" Pomona said.

"Ah ha, you actually dislike greasy." The greasy Severus seized the opportunity and immediately counterattacked, "Why are you so superficial?"

Pomona tried to push him off the boat.

Monica finally took them to a delicatessen bar, where there were a lot of prosciutto hanging on the wall, and there were Tiepolo's paintings on the wall. Of course they were not originals, but copied by students from the Academy of Fine Arts. One of them

It's a banquet between Antony and Cleopatra. Just as he depicts Venice as a blonde, Cleopatra's dress is very Western-style and does not look like an Egyptian female pharaoh at all.

The trade center of Tiepolo's era had moved to Western Europe. It is understandable that his paintings looked like this, but Pomona really didn't like it.

If you eat something else after you are full, no matter how delicious it is, Severus ate it with relish and didn't care whether she could eat it or not.

She angrily stabbed a small octopus-shaped Vienna sausage with her fork.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau said in The Origin of Human Inequality: The human mind develops due to fresh environmental stimulation. This fresh situation refers to husband and wife, father and son living together, and people have beautiful human feelings. The relationship between husband and wife

Love and the affection of a father to his children, every family is a small united society, and freedom and mutual affection are their only bonds.

Men and women who originally had the same lifestyle gradually adapted to the new lifestyle. Women became more stable and quiet. They were used to running the house and taking care of their children, while men went out to find necessities for their families. Before men and women got married, men and women

There is no difference between their lifestyles. After forming a family, this gender division of labor will naturally form.

As life became more comfortable, both sexes became less strong and agile; but to the extent that individuals could no longer contend with wild beasts on their own, people found it easier to unite against wild beasts.

Rousseau, who was almost raped by a man, was not entirely right, but he also had merits. Women are the backbone of the family. The happiness of the Weasley family is closely related to Molly. She is a strong mother. Even if George and Fred

Sometimes it makes her cry, but she still loves them.

Who doesn't like the happy atmosphere of the Weasley family? They did go through a difficult time after Fred's death, but they will get through it. Poverty is not a shackle that restricts their love for each other.

A "stable" mother is the pillar of support for everyone. After Patsy was hurt by a girl outside, he was lost for a while and later returned home.

An "unstable" mother will bring many problems to the family. The most obvious example is Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. She was very unhappy. She focused on her female identity and forgot her mother's identity. She killed many people named Li.

Royalty, this behavior is as crazy as a mother who commits infanticide.

Like the Republic of Venice, she also set up a whistleblower box, which became a tool for officials and even civilians to eradicate dissidents and enemies. Like an inflammatory storm, it not only eliminated harmful bacteria, but also caused catastrophic damage to normal tissues.

Not all sects need to be eliminated. They have excellent and desirable qualities, but it is undeniable that there are some people who, in order to protect the interests of their own families, cut off the upward path for men of low origin but who are motivated.

The imperial examination solved the system of monopolizing the upper class of society by clans during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Republic of Venice did not, but they had marriages.

There must be girls of noble birth. This is inevitable if the social inequality system exists. They cannot regard their marriage as a tool for exchange of interests, but as an intermediary for power.

Cecilia Venier was an illegitimate daughter, but she allowed Venice to enjoy the diplomatic benefits of the Ottoman Empire. In the face of greater interests, men found ways to satisfy her little extravagant hobbies.

Napoleon had people following him because he rose through the ranks on his own merit, crushing everything in his way like a rampaging chariot, crushing the beautifully designed political system of Venice to pieces.

Just like when he didn't like a certain porcelain vase, he smashed it to pieces and then ordered the craftsmen to redo it.

As the victim, of course he felt very angry, but he still had to do it again.

In order to find a common language and choose a "well-matched" marriage partner, you are still in your own small circle and cannot see the broader world, like a pond and the sea.

A long beach separates the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea, but it is not really separated. If you patronize the small pond and ignore the sea, the Adriatic Sea continues to rise, and this pearl rising from the bottom of the sea will still return.

In the sea.

There should be a deer on Noah's Ark, and it would live fearfully surrounded by lions, tigers, and wolves. Therefore, it may be more looking forward to the dove coming back with an olive branch in its mouth than Noah's family.

Early in the morning, the Rezzonico Palace opened its doors, but there were very few tourists. I didn't know who was playing music. It drifted in through the windows of the palace and echoed in the gilded hall.

The singing man said:

Most people in the world are deceived by fairies, but I am deceived by the charm of a world-famous woman. If she hates me because of this, then she should choose revenge and take revenge by fulfilling my request. In this way, she will give me joy and I will die of joy.

When her bright eyes look at me, she must see me through my soul. If anyone stands in front of us, his joy will eventually be in vain.

I am there waiting for my lady, like a bird waiting for the day, when will my love come?

Injure me and take revenge by fulfilling my request, so that she gives me joy that will delight me to death.

"What kind of weird song is this?" Pomona asked Monica, who was translating for her.

"Italian boy." Monica rolled her eyes and shook her head, then combed her hair and handed her a long bill. "This is the breakdown of the expenses in the past few days. The budget has been exhausted."

It means I have to pay again.

Pomona was about to take out her wallet when Severus coughed.

"We haven't been to the places where celebrities in Venice have gone." Severus looked at Gianluca and said with a smirk, "I guess Mr. Dante wouldn't mind being our tour guide, right?"

"Of course." Gianluca also said hypocritically.

"Then you still hire me?" Monica asked angrily.

"Of course." Pomona said, "I am very interested in the life of Venetian civilians."

"Then who should I ask for money from?" Monica asked.

"Of course it's me... ow." Gianluca said hurriedly. Before he could finish his words, Severus slapped him hard on the back of the head. That slap should be added to the slap on the back of Harry and Ron's heads.

It sounds just as cruel.

"Give her five hundred." Severus said, "The tickets and tips for the past few days should be enough."

Pomona was sure that he would extort the money back.

So I happily took out my wallet and gave it to him.

Only Monica was not very happy, but it was her job to be a tour guide.
