When he arrived at the town, Jiang Hao parked his car at the entrance of a painting shop.

He is a painter, and at least he is a painter now. The painter has to do what the painter should do, so he needs to buy some painting tools.

Jiang Hao has absorbed all the knowledge and abilities of this movie character, and he can draw now. As for this guy's level, art cannot be measured by common sense. Anyway, he thinks so.

What classical school, impressionist school, beast school, and Jiang Hao don’t care about that.

Just have a show-off party.

When I walked into the painting shop, I started to select tools, canvas, picture frames, paints, brushes, color palettes, oil painting knives, turpentine oil... In short, there was a lot of chaos. The boss was already happy and smiled happily. As long as Jiang Hao pointed something, he would take it down immediately.

In the past, painters often came to collect folk songs in small towns, but unfortunately the war broke out. Now few painters come. The business of the painting shop is deserted. Today, a big customer finally came, so the boss was naturally happy.

Finally, the boss settled the score and actually asked for more than 700 lira. I have to say that drawing is really a very expensive thing.

No wonder some painters can’t afford canvas and oil paint when they are poor.

"Terrible for 20% off, and send it to Federer's home by the sea." Jiang Hao said.

The boss said bitterly: "The 20% off is less, I can give you 90% off."

Jiang Hao stood up and looked at the boss and said, "If you agree, I will pay the bill. If you don't agree, I will leave immediately. You can choose for yourself."

It was too difficult to meet a big customer. The boss twisted his neck and struggled for a long time, "Okay, it's 20% off. I hope you will come to me to purchase next time."

Jiang Hao smiled and said, "I want to live here for a long time, so I can't do it."

The boss was happy all of a sudden. Being able to capture a long-term customer is very beneficial to his business.

"If you need it, you can call me and I will send it to you directly."

After paying the bill, Jiang Hao said goodbye to the owner of the painting shop. Instead, he walked home in a leisurely manner to the open-air coffee bar in the square. This is the most central part of the town and the most prosperous street. The government, police station, law firm, career introduction office, notary office, restaurant, theater, and clothing store are all on this street.

So it is the most lively here, with a lot of people coming and going.

Jiang Hao ordered a cup of coffee, raised his hand to look at the time, and at 10 a.m., he picked up a newspaper casually and looked at it. Although these newspapers were a little empty, he had the understanding of this era in later generations, and some of the content could still be seen.

For example, food controls, such as inflation.

Nowadays, the entire Italy has implemented wartime food controls, and everyone has a limited purchase amount every day, which can only maintain the most basic food and clothing, and there are limited varieties, including bread, butter, milk, some vegetables and fish.

If you can't fill your stomach, you won't starve to death. Most of the remaining supplies are sent to the front line.

If you want to eat good things, such as chocolate, beef, ham, sausage, cheese, etc., I’m sorry, it’s not for sale in government stores, and it’s even more difficult to buy cigarettes and alcohol unless you have a way to do it.

Of course, there is nothing. Nowadays, many farmers and merchants still have inventory in their hands, but they are unwilling to sell it to the government because the government's price is too low, so black market transactions are very rampant now.

If you want to buy good things, you can go to the black market, where you can say everything is available, and there are even food and supplies flowing out of the army, which is very expensive.

In fact, Italy is now good, and Germany and Italy are still at the upper hand for the time being. After France was defeated, the lives of the French people were extremely difficult, they were always hungry, and they could not buy food even if they had money, because those things were plundered by the German army.

Just as Jiang Hao was looking at the newspaper and comparing the information in his mind, a slight commotion suddenly came from the front. Jiang Hao looked up and found that everyone's eyes were all focused on the person ahead.

A woman.

A woman walking over in short skirt, stockings, high heels,

It's Malena.

Only she will have such an effect.

No matter where Malena goes, a man will take off his hat and say hello, "Hello, beautiful Malena."

"Malena, you are so beautiful today."

"Malena, can you give you a cup of coffee?"

Malena kept her head down slightly, looking at the ground, ignoring anyone, and her high heels stepped on the stone slab, making a clattering sound, very crisp.

There were several women drinking coffee behind Jiang Hao. Seeing Malena’s appearance, the women immediately changed the topic: “I heard that she is a female seamstress, but she is very vulgar.”

"Look at how coquettish she is dressed like this to attract the attention of men."

"She's a man goes to war, and she probably won't stay alone in the empty room."

"She must have done something dirty behind her back. Don't worry, she will definitely be exposed in the future."

"I think she is not as good as the count's mistress, at least open and honest."

The women's mouths were very poisonous and their voices were not small. They were afraid that others would not hear the same thing, and kept saying all kinds of slanderous words. Jiang Hao felt uncomfortable when he heard it. He really didn't know what kind of torture Malena suffered.

He wanted to tear the mouths of these shrews, but doing so would be useless.

The most fierce thing about evil women is always their jealous heart, and they will continue to slander and insult until something they don’t like disappears.

This is what is called "mob politics".

It wasn't long, and Malena came out of the job hunting office without a smile on her face. It should be that there was no news of her job yet. This is normal. It is difficult to find a job now, let alone a woman.

Seeing Malena leave disappointed, the women all danced one by one, and some people said, "She has been here to find a job for many days, but it seems she has not found a job again."

Another woman said: "Last month the government issued a notice that for the sake of war, the government stopped issuing public office allowances. Malena had been living on her husband's allowances, but now she has no last income, so she has to come out to find a job."

A woman next to her said in a disgusting tone: "Look, no one in the town will hire him. If a man dares to hire Marlena, their wife will fight him from morning to night, and there will be no peace."

The women laughed loudly.

Jiang Hao turned to look at this woman. Among these people, she counted the most vicious words of her, and what she said was like a knife to scatter people's hearts.

These women hate them because of jealousy. They feel that Malena is not doing well and they will feel very comfortable.

They set Malena as a group enemy, Malena became the opposite of all women in the town, imaginary enemies, they always suspected that their men would cheat on Malena, and in their hearts, Malena had already defined Malena as a slut.

They laughed at Malena together, which could enhance their sense of identity.

They are animals of a group, and they are not alone.

Jiang Hao picked up a sticky note from the table, pulled out a pen from his body, and wrote in fancy Italian:

"Beautiful lady, your charm makes me fall in love with you, your smell makes me intoxicated, your perfect body makes me unable to stop, I miss you every day, and look forward to your coming again, and lingering with you!"
