Chapter 160 "Mrs. Malena" Manor

Let Pia find a large number of people from the city of Palermo and give it to Malena to command, clean and renovate the manor, while Jiang Hao fiddles with the antiques.

Take all the things out of the cellar and put them in the shade to dry. After cleaning the cellar, install wooden shelves around it so that these antiques can be placed in the future. Jiang Hao took some careful women to clean up the antiques little by little.

Life is full of surprises.

There are so many treasures here. For example, there are 4 portraits of the Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty, including Huang Taiji, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng. There are about 180 Chinese paintings. Many Jiang Hao have heard the name.

There are more than 100 pieces of porcelain, several Buddha statues, a dozen pieces of jade, hundreds of splendid products, most of which are books. Jiang Hao actually found a lot of Yongle Dadian and Siku Quanshu, which Mario thought was worthless. But in this pile of things, Jiang Hao felt the most valuable.

This is a national treasure-level cultural relic if you take it back.

He didn't plan to put these books in the cellar, he just had them cleaned up and put them in the study, they should be there, maybe if you have time, you can take a copy and read it, and enjoy it like an emperor.

1.5 million lire.

A boatload of smuggled shredded tobacco was exchanged for a room of treasures.

Europeans don't know their value. In those days, "The History of Women", a British officer sold it to the British Museum for 25 pounds, just for a dinner.

After cleaning up, he put everything back in the cellar. Looking at the rows of shelves, Jiang Hao felt very satisfied, and he liked it when he touched these things.

Why did he spend money to buy these antiques, not only to turn the lira into real objects, but more importantly, Jiang Hao found that every time he was rewarded, almost all the things that had appeared in the movie world.

"Mermaid" rewards a watch, "Red Sorghum" rewards a thousand cups without getting drunk, "God of Cooking" rewards Stephen Zhou's cooking skills, "Shinjuku Incident" rewards Japanese proficiency, and "Remaining Island" rewards more than one million dollars.

After completing the world quest "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", it would be great to reward this house of antiques.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao laughed.

"It seems that you really like them, and you've been busy with them for a whole day." A female voice came from behind Jiang Hao, and he didn't need to look back to know it was Malena.

"Yes, I really like them." Jiang Hao nodded.

"But now it's dinner time, so let's say goodbye to them temporarily." Malena came to Jiang Hao and said softly.

"Okay, from now on, Malena who accompanies me, by the way, how is the "Mrs. Malena Manor" organized." Jiang Hao asked.

"All the rooms have been cleaned, and now there is a feeling of a new look. As for the walls and fences, they have already been ordered, and it will take a few days. The gardens before and after the manor have been abandoned for too long. It is a big project. Now it is winter, only If you can clean it up first, and plant flowers and plants in the spring, the whole manor will be very beautiful by then."

Malena looked a little excited. This place belongs to her now. She is completely managed by her. It is the wish of many women to organize their own houses according to their own preferences.

"By the way, there is also that hillside, which was originally used to grow grapes, but was abandoned later. What do you think is better to grow?" Malena asked.

"Flowers, plant all flowers."

Jiang Hao said without hesitation.

"We're not short of money. There's no need to grow grain and grapes. Plant flowers all over the place. When you open the window in the morning, you can see an endless sea of ​​flowers in front of you. The feeling of relaxation and happiness is worth more than anything else."

Malena imagined the scene at that moment and nodded happily.

After dinner, the two walked hand in hand in their manor. Malena kept talking about how to remodel here and what it was going to look like there. Jiang Hao listened quietly, nodding from time to time, or giving some Small opinion.

For example, there is a utility room in the backyard, and there is a large cellar below. This cellar is mainly for food, so Jiang Hao decided to fill it up.

"Honey, you have the attributes of a hamster."

"I'm planning ahead."

"Are you uneasy about the future?" Malena asked.

"Yes, I have a hunch that things will be tough for Italy in the future."

"But the newspapers said that the coalition forces are now in full swing, occupying many places, and Mussolini guarantees the absolute security of the homeland."

"The nonsense of politicians is absolutely unbelievable." Jiang Hao shrugged.

The next day, Malena was busy again. The task Jiang Hao gave her was to spend money and repair the manor, and Malena was also very happy.

And he himself was in the study, looking through the Yongle Ceremony. These books can be said to be the treasures left by the ancestors. If it is not in the movie world, let alone read it, even if he touches it, he will not be able to touch it. .

Half a month later, the manor was completely new, a telephone was also installed, and a large amount of food was stored in the cellar. Jiang Hao called Pia back to the small town of Syracuse and asked four family members of the organization to help. Malena took care of the manor, and at the same time sent a team of 12 people to guard the safety of the manor.

Malena looked at her manor and liked it more and more. She took Jiang Hao's arm and said, "Why don't we come and stay for a few days every other month?"

"No, I decided to open a new base here." Jiang Hao said.

It is really good here. It is close to Palermo, the capital of Sicily, and the traffic is more convenient, but it is located in the countryside, more than ten kilometers away from the city. Even if there is a war in the future, the bombing of the city by the Allied forces will not spread here. It should be better than Syracuse. The town is much safer.

He immediately notified his group of men to come over, including David, Luca, Basali, Sakadu, Fabio, Cassani, and none of the six team leaders.

"This is Malena's manor. I may live here in the future. Davy, it's more convenient to get a branch in the town."

"Basari, in a nearby town, re-establish a cigarette factory. The transportation here is convenient, and it is more convenient for us to open the inland market."

"Fabio, I have a task for you, from now on, find a way to exchange the organization's money as much as possible into gold jewelry, dollars or pounds, and remember, never Deutsche Marks."

Fabio is in charge of the Italian inland cigarette market. It is more convenient to do this, but he does not understand it very well and asks: "Boss, exchange dollars and pounds, do you think that the Allies are more optimistic, they are the enemies of Italy?"
