Chapter 522 Traveling around the mountains and rivers
"Good morning……"

"morning."

The room where Gilbert Jr. lived was a suite, and Ivanka did not sleep in another room to avoid suspicion. Anyway, everyone was rumored that she had climbed into the boss's bed, so Ivanka didn't care about the boring gossip.

"Where's Miss Hazel?" Little Gilbert finished washing up and took the newspaper handed to him by Ivanka.

"Ms. Hazel is preparing breakfast. I heard that Turkish food is very rich and is one of the three major cuisines in the world." Ivanka said.

"That's true. It tastes much better than English food anyway," agreed little Gilbert.

While the two were talking, Keeley Hazel had already ordered breakfast from the hotel to be delivered to the suite. There was a wide variety of dishes, dozens of them large and small, which scared little Gilbert.

"So many?" asked little Gilbert. "What are they like?"

Keeley Hazell introduced: "They are all local specialties breakfast, this is sausage fried eggs, using local Turkish sausage.

Pepperoni is similar. It’s a dry sausage made with garlic and various spices like red pepper, cumin, and sumac.”

Little Gilbert picked up a piece of sausage with a fork and tasted it. It was salty and fresh, a little spicy, but not too irritating.

"How's it going?" asked Keeley Hazell.

"Not bad, Sally will probably like this." Little Gilbert commented: "As for me, I prefer Sichuan-style sausages."

"Sichuan sausage?" Kelly Hazel chewed on these unfamiliar words and for a moment she couldn't figure out where this was from.

Fortunately, Ivanka gave an explanation: "It's sausages from China. Every year the boss's Chinese friends send him some Chinese bacon, sausages and so on.

I can’t even finish it, and I need help from Oushennuo and others.”

"So that's how it is," Keeley Hazell suddenly realized.

She was a little envious of Ivanka. Although she didn't know Ivanka's specific identity, she knew that this woman was not simple because she could gain the trust of Gilbert Jr.

After tasting one dish, little Gilbert motioned to continue.

The hotel staff took away the sausage and fried egg dish and brought another dish. After opening the lid, there was another fried egg dish inside.

In the golden egg noodles you can see shrimps, diced meat, chopped vegetables and other things.

Keeley Hazel explained: "In Turkish breakfast culture, sausages, fried eggs and bread are eternal themes. Of course, Turkish coffee is always indispensable on the table."

Although little Gilbert didn't like coffee, he still tasted it. It was rich and mellow and refreshing.

The following breakfast is mostly various carbohydrate products, such as pancakes, toasted corn bread spread with local beef sauce, accompanied by butter and cucumber slices, which can be eaten in one bite, which is very satisfying.

Although there are dozens of different portions, they are basically customized according to the number of guests.

These dozens of breakfasts are just enough for three to four people, so any leftovers are not considered a waste.

However, Ivanka said that she was in the fat-loss period, so she only ate a little bit and stopped eating. Keeley Hazell ate happily, mainly to please little Gilbert.

After breakfast, after a short digestion, Keeley Hazell acted as a tour guide and took little Gilbert and Ivanka to visit Istanbul's famous sights.

The first place we went to was, of course, the famous Hagia Sophia.

This church has a long history, even dating back to the period of Justinian I of the Eastern Roman Empire. This was the third church he ordered to be built.

With the strong support of Byzantium, it was designed by physicist Isidore of Miletus and mathematician Anthemius of Tralles and completed in 537 AD.

At that time, North America was still a wild continent and China was in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period.

After 1453, it was occupied by the Turks and converted into a mosque. Today, the religious function of Hagia Sophia is very weak, and it has become more of a museum with many precious murals and cultural relics.

This was the first time for Gilbert to come to Istanbul, and he had never been to Hagia Sophia before. Looking at the magnificent dome and the various exquisite murals, Gilbert couldn't help but burst into poetry, and said in Chinese: "It's really beautiful."

Kelly Hazel didn't understand what little Gilbert was saying. There were a lot of people around, so she couldn't help but hold little Gilbert's arm to prevent him from getting separated from her.

"Why are there so many people today?" Ivanka was bumped by a tourist behind her and complained in disgust.

"Ivanka, the Champions League final is coming soon, and the fans are probably here by now. Besides, as a tourist city, it's normal to have a lot of people here," said Gilbert Jr.

Ivanka looked at what seemed to be AC ​​Milan and Arsenal fans quarreling in front of her and couldn't help but say in disdain: "How barbaric! They can even quarrel just to see the cathedral."

"Shh," Gilbert Jr. asked Ivanka to lower her voice, "Don't let the fans hear it. If people find out, I, the owner of the team, can't save you."

Ivanka rolled her eyes. She originally thought that she and Gilbert Jr. came to Istanbul for sightseeing. It was indeed sightseeing, but there was one more person who seemed to be more beautiful than her.

What’s worse is that there are too many people.

Ivanka doesn't like places with too many people. She thinks those tourist attractions lose their original flavor once there are too many people. This sacred cathedral, a common symbol of Islam and Orthodoxy, has become vulgar.

She expressed her thoughts to Gilbert Jr., who spread his hands and said, "Ivanka, God has to eat too!"

"Uh," Ivanka was choked up for a moment, and had to admit that although Gilbert's comment was simple, it did make sense.

Because there were too many tourists, the three of them only visited a few major places and then went to the Blue Mosque next door and the Basilica Cistern of Hagia Sophia.

Keeley Hazell said: "It's daytime now. If you come at night, there will be performances in the Basilica Cistern. It's very exciting."

"Really?" Little Gilbert thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go and have a look tonight?"

"Boss, you still have work to do," Ivanka said.

Gilbert Jr. gave up. Although he was in Istanbul, he also had to keep in touch with Warner Bros. to handle some work matters.

In the afternoon, Gilbert and his two companions went to the Topkapi Palace and the Turkish Museum of Modern Art to experience the fusion of ancient history and modern art.

In the evening, we had the Turkish specialty Alexander kebab, which is commonly known as Turkish kebab in other places.

After dinner, sit on the balcony of the suite, drink some red wine and snacks, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the bay.

However, there were not many quiet moments. John Richard, the current general manager of Arsenal, came to the hotel to visit Gilbert Jr., and Gilbert Jr. chatted with him.

"How is the team's preparation?" asked Gilbert Jr.

"Don't worry," John Richard assured, "The team is training well, the morale is very high, and we have great hope of winning the Champions League."

"I often hear people say that a ball is round and anything can happen in it," Gilbert said. "I hope the team will be modest and treat it like a normal game."

"I will definitely pass your words on to the coaching staff and players, but..."

"But what?"

John Richard smiled and said, "I think the players would like to see you in the locker room. Do you have time to talk to the players before the final?"

"Do you want me, as their boss, to put pressure on them?" Gilbert Jr. shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Once we win the Champions League, we can just give out bonuses.

Let them prepare for the battle at this time, I won't bother them."

"Well, I will definitely convey your message to the team members."

The day before the final, Gilbert Jr. did not go out shopping, but stayed in the hotel room to handle work and keep in touch with Los Angeles.

At this time, the premiere of "Kingdom of Heaven" has already begun, and "The Dark Knight" is also about to be released.
