The Roman Nero (37-68) visited Pompeii in the summer two years after the great earthquake of 62 AD. Early that morning, Nero came out of the Pompeii Apollo Concert Hall without a word, and wandered east along the Via dell'Abbondanza, which runs across Pompeii's west-east, humming a little tune in his mouth, and suddenly a stinky smell came out of nowhere, as if a stinky cloud was floating overhead, and he looked sideways, and it turned out to be Stipfan's laundry.

I saw that the patio of the atrium suddenly sprinkled a golden light from nowhere, falling into the rain pool below, and at the edge of the pool stood a girl, wearing a gold silk bikini, holding the head of the young Priapus in her left hand, and scratching her heels while lifting her sandals in her right hand, and her eyes were still on her white robe that had been cleaned, and the white light of the robe almost completely covered the cupid child at her feet.

After inspecting Stefan's laundry room in this way, Nero came to the mirage of Lucretius. Lu Truzhu's job was the emperor's lifelong high priest, and he lived in the mirage compound with his wife Gossy Otter, daughter Valentine and son Lu Xiaozhu's family of four. Under the influence of Nero Caesar, Lu, like all Pompeians, loved the gladiator movement. He himself maintained a gladiatorial team of twenty excellent gladiators, and his son Lu Xiaozhu also had a team of ten pairs of gladiators. As a hereditary professional politician, he chose to build the Lu family compound near the East Sano Gate, so far from the Garden Market in the center of Pompeii, which was already too far away, just to be closer to the arena and the Grand Joan School in the southeast corner of Pompeii.

The seductive fishy atmosphere drove the kiwi vine tentacles drawn out from under the south wall of the garden to grow wildly and climb out of the wall. "Mirage Fish Sauce" is the famous brand they have made, and it is also a long-established brand in Pompeii, and the gossamer otter is the "old dry mother" of Pompeii.
