13 Mink Street

A spoonful of hot oil was poured in by Karen, making a "sizzling" sound.

Alfred, who was standing next to him, closed his eyes, raised his hands, raised his head, and sighed:

"Ah, I finally heard this intoxicating voice again. This is art, the real art we get along day and night! I really feel sorry for Mr. Bede. He should stand here to witness what is called the real earth. breath!"

Karen glanced at Alfred and said, "Bring it to the table."

"Yes, master."

Alfred picked up the pot of sauerkraut fish and sent it to the dining table.

The woman who had been standing beside Alfred watching Karen cook came over now, pointed to the kitchen stove, and motioned for her to clean it.

Her name was Jane, Alaye's wife, with short blond hair and a thin build. She was deaf and dumb.

Karen has learned sign language in her previous life, and sign language is not difficult to learn. Although there are different national boundaries, the general daily expressions are still very similar.

"Now let's go to dinner."

"I want to help you clean up the kitchen first."

"In my house, it's time to clean up the kitchen after dinner. Thank you for your kindness. I'll trouble you after we finish dinner."

"Okay, I know."

Karen and Jane came to the restaurant. The restaurant was small, but it was spacious enough for five people.

The dinner for Pu'er and Golden Retriever had already been sent up, and a cat and a dog ate upstairs.

"It's so rich, thank you for your hospitality, Master Karen." Alaye got up and thanked Karen.

Alaye's son, 12-year-old Hand, also got up, and bowed to Karen in cooperation with his father while staring at the tempting delicacies on the table.

Like Jane, twelve-year-old Hand is also a deaf child.

Karen remembers that the first time he came to the door of the agency in Alaye's car, Alaye just waved to his wife and son who were sitting inside, but didn't speak because they couldn't hear them.

"You are too polite, Alaye, I should thank you for introducing such a good house to me."

"No, no, this is my job, and I also get my own commission income. You really don't need to thank me for this."

"But you agreed to let me live here that day, and asked your wife to help me buy bedding and daily necessities. Isn't this part of your job?"

"It's not helpful, it's what I should do. Besides, you asked Mr. Alfred to go with me the next day to go through all the formalities. This house belongs to you. You should live in one earlier." What's the point of the night?"

"No, when a person sees something he likes, even if he can have it one minute earlier, it is a great happiness."

At this moment, Hand was staring at the dishes on the table and swallowing from time to time, but he didn't move the fork first without his parents' permission. Karen said to Jane in sign language:

"You can start eating, remind the children to pay attention to the fishbone."

Jane nodded vigorously to Karen, and then signaled that her son could eat. Hand picked up a fork with a smile, and forked a large piece of roast chicken meat into his plate and began to eat.

Karen prepared fish with pickled cabbage, roast chicken and braised mutton. Vegetarian dishes are two cold dishes, accompanied by tomato and egg drop soup.

After living in Allen Manor for a while, he now urgently wants to remind himself of the "work aesthetics" in his stomach.

"Master Karen..."

Alaye has continued to call Karen from Alfred on the first day,

"Part of my commission exceeded my original expectations, because the final transaction price was higher than the original owner expected, because the original owner did not expect such high discounts for old furniture and books. So I want to take the extra part out of my commission and return it to you."

"No, that's what you deserve. This is the first time I've seen an intermediary who voluntarily refunds the commission after a successful transaction."

"It's also the first time I've heard a client say that I deserve my commission. Normally, clients would be wary of us, for fear that we would take an extra piece of steel from them."

"Well, I understand them." Karen picked up a pair of silver chopsticks that were given to him by Alfred in Luojia City, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, "Because I'm not too short of money now."

After buying the house, it means that the mortgage contract has come into effect. Although it is almost half cheaper than expected, it is impossible to cash out the unused amount, and it is impossible for him to do such a thing. So, strictly speaking, Karen Only Leier, who was in his early 100,000, was left on his body.

For the middle class, this amount of savings is still very dangerous, but Karen, who just came out of Allen Manor, still needs some time to correct and return to her own view of money.

But in any case, it is a ridiculous thing to use the generosity of the rich to mock the stinginess of ordinary people for their hard-earned money.

Alaiye immediately changed his words: "Yes, what you said is true, young master."

"Come and eat."

Karen pointed to the dishes on the table with his chopsticks.

"Okay, okay."

Halfway through the meal, Hand seemed to notice Karen's chopsticks and gestured to Karen.

Karen smiled, and motioned to Alfred to take another pair for Hand to use. Unexpectedly, Hand's fingers were very nimble, and he immediately started using chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

After the meal, Jane took the initiative to get up to pack the dishes and go to the kitchen to wash.

Alaye took out a pack of cigarettes and looked at Karen. Karen shook his head, and he quit. Alaye looked at Alfred again, and Alfred shook his head, and he also quit. .

Alaye put the cigarette case away again:

"Master, if you have anything to do in the future, you can ask Mr. Alfred to come to me directly, and I will definitely help you if I can."

"OK, all right."

After Jane cleaned up the kitchen, Alaye got up to take his family farewell and go home.

Alfred walked into the kitchen, wrapped the pair of silver chopsticks in paper, handed them to Karen, and Karen handed them to Hand.

Hand didn't reach out to take it, but looked at his parents.

"Master, we can't accept this."

"So, when I ask you for help in the future, will you refuse like this?"

"..." Alaye.

In the end, Hand accepted the pair of silver chopsticks, and his mother bowed to Karen with him to express their gratitude. After the Alaye family left, Karen stretched himself and took it from Alfred. A glass of ice water.

"Master, are you entertaining the Alaye family, are you planning for something to come?"

"No, I just think that when you move to a new house, you have to invite someone to celebrate with you.

Oh, by the way, you send the pictures of the new house you took today along with my letter back to Mink Street tomorrow. "

"Okay, master, the telephone company will come to pull a new telephone line tomorrow."

"A phone call is a phone call, and a letter is a letter. Oh, by the way, remember to send the letter by the mail route of the God of Principle."

"Yes, master, I know it's safer this way, and it's not easy to lose things"

"No, because it's free."

Karen went upstairs with a water glass. There was a bathroom upstairs and downstairs. Karen took a shower first, changed into pajamas, walked into the bedroom, and lay down on the bed.

At this time, Pu'er was lying on the window sill of the bedroom, where there was a cat mat specially bought for it.

Of course, the Golden Retriever also has a larger dog mat in the corner.

There is no floor heating in the house, but there is heating in the new apartment, but because the house transfer procedures have just been completed, many other procedures have not yet been handed over, and the gas is not available for the time being;

Helplessly, the heating next door was not turned on, so I couldn't rub it if I wanted to.

Karen, who was sitting under the quilt, suddenly remembered that he forgot to bring up the newspaper, but he didn't want to get out of bed, so he spread his hands.

The golden retriever sat up from his nest, jumped up first, opened the bedroom door and ran out, and came back with three newspapers in his mouth not long after.

Karen took it over and picked up a copy of "Ven Daily", and he temporarily put the other two "Ven Finance" and "Ven Stories" on the bedside table.

After handing in the newspaper, the golden retriever climbed onto the cabinet again, poked its paws out, and pressed the radio switch, then carefully tuned the channel again, and finally tuned to "Wayne News Broadcasting", which was broadcasting the evening news at this time.

"Good job, Kevin."

The golden retriever who got the praise lay back to his kennel contentedly.

Pu'er, who was originally lying on the window sill, jumped off the window sill at this time, came to the bed, walked silently across Karen's quilt, and glanced sideways at the golden retriever while walking;

"Karen, I'm cold."

After speaking, Pu'er got into Karen's bed.

Karen didn't bring it up again, because it was really cold in the room. According to people's established cognition, dogs have thick skin and thick flesh, while cats are weaker.

Newspapers and radio are the two most important media carriers of this era. Karen was lying on the bed while reading newspapers and listening to the radio.

After the death of Gloria IX, the new king, Prince of York, finally took the throne. His Royal Highness, who had been the crown prince for more than 60 years, finally became a regular.

But on this page, half of the top is the news of the Prince of York's enthronement, accompanied by a photo of his enthronement. His aging appearance seems to symbolize the precariousness of the Wayne Empire;

The lower half is the largest overseas colony of the Wayne Empire, where large-scale demonstrations in pursuit of national independence broke out.

It is hard to say that such typesetting was not intentional by the editor-in-chief of the daily.

Karen continued to flip through the newspaper while talking to herself:

"Got to find a job."

Although there are only two people in the family, a cat and a dog, everyone's living standard is not low.

Pu'er in the bed turned around, of course it couldn't say stupidly: "Call the Alan family, pay for it!"

Instead, he said, "Don't buy me coffee next time, let's save it."

Karen shook his head and said, "It's impossible to stay at home and bask in the sun all the time."

At this time, Karen turned to the next news in the newspaper. It was the Minister of Energy and Industrial Development of Reilland who led a group of experts to visit Wien and discuss with the Wien government the deepening cooperation between the two sides in the industrial field.

Isn't this Piaget's father?

Karen noticed that the minister's last name was indeed Adams.

Continue to flip through the newspaper, and entered the advertisement page in the newspaper. There are recruitment information in the gaps, but Karen has no intention of looking for a job here.

But one ad caught Karen's attention because it took up half of the ad page.

"Adams Psychological Diagnosis and Treatment Center will relieve your troubles from the soul. "

The first half of the advertisement content is to give you a popular science about the dangers of mental illness, including frustration in love, family disharmony, unsuccessful career, and even infertility into the category of "mental illness";

The second half is about who is so and so because of the treatment of psychological problems, the love field becomes proud, the family becomes happy, the career goes smoothly, and the wife is actually pregnant with a baby...

The copywriting of this advertisement can be said to be written neatly and carefully compared.

In the center is a group photo in front of the clinic. The sign is right above, and below are a group of doctors in white coats. Standing in the center is a familiar face——Piaget Adams.

Piaget and his wife Linda met when they were studying abroad in Wien. After Linda left, it was normal for Piaget to choose to return to the place where the love began and start again. In addition, Ruilan was originally a subsidiary country of Wien. In the eyes of Ruilan elites, it is a matter of course to go to Wayne to develop.

Karen picked up his water glass and took a sip of water. Well, he seemed to have found a job.

Finding a job and integrating into life for observation is only the first step. Next, there is actually a more important thing, which is to re-enter the Cult of Kosmos with a different identity.

But this can wait until you enter the "divine animal husbandry" stage and then start, there is no rush for the time being.

The Allen family will also send their new identities in the near future;

In Pu'er's words, those who maintain order are also on the front line of being corrupted, and everything has loopholes that can be found.

Karen put down the newspaper, not in the mood to read the remaining two newspapers, and lay down.

Kevin crawled out of his kennel, turned off the radio, jumped up and flipped the switch, turning off the bedroom lights.

It is really a blessing to have an evil dog in winter, after all, who wants to leave their bed so easily in such a cold season?

In the house, fell into silence;

About two hours later, when it was completely dark, a black shadow suddenly appeared outside the window.

Pu'er opened his eyes at this moment, climbed out of the bed silently, and looked out the window. The shadow was still fluttering gently, the sound was so slight that it was almost inaudible, but the slight changes in light and shadow caused by it still aroused the sensitivity of cats. attention.

Jumping out of bed, Pu'er came to the kennel first, and faced the snoring golden retriever was a cat's paw. The golden retriever woke up immediately, and then turned its attention directly to the window.

Pu'er nodded solemnly at it,

The golden retriever opened its dog's eyes wide, and felt that the cat's eyes looked very strange in the dark night. It didn't understand the meaning of Pu'er at all, but it still nodded the dog's head.

When Pu'er came to the door, the golden retriever stood up and opened the bedroom door with its front paws. Pu'er walked out of the bedroom and went straight to the garden on the top floor, followed by the golden retriever.

Tiptoely, Pu'er jumped to the roof of the sun room, and moved down cautiously along the top. The golden retriever was too big, and walked on the edge of the wall. The heads of the cat and the dog were all poking toward the window of the master bedroom below.

I saw a black crow flapping its wings outside the window, and a letter was tied under the crow's feet.

At this time, the crow also showed an anthropomorphic look on its face, as if it was identifying the identity of the person lying on the bed in the room. It uttered a few more soft calls, as if it was sending a reminder and a secret signal, but it was delayed. Couldn't get a response from inside.

The crow began to circle, and it seemed that it was about to leave.

At this time, Pu'er, who was crawling on the top of the sun room, began to "sign language" to the golden retriever lying on the bottom.

Pu'er stretched out one of his cat's paws, raised it, and ticked it;

Then he stretched out another cat's paw, lowered it, and hooked it;

Finally, the two cat's paws merge together.

The golden retriever's eyes were rounded, but he really couldn't understand what Pu'er meant, so he could only show an embarrassed smile.

Pu'er saw the golden retriever smile, thinking it understood what he meant.

It seems that it is not difficult for Karen to communicate with that Ms. Jane at dinner, and I have also learned it.

Pu'er knows that this is a messenger crow. It is not a "living entity" in the strict sense, but more like a messenger puppet. danger;

Once it finds that the target of the message is wrong, it will end the transmission and return to the command. If it encounters danger, it will immediately activate the formation in its body and burn its body together with the letter to be sent.

It's just that when making it, the main materials are crow's feathers and a few bones, so it is inevitable that it will bring some animal habits, that is to say, it will be very defensive against people, but it will be... lax.

"Meow~meow~meow~meow~"

Pu'er is lying on the roof of the sun room, making a soft call, while other wild cats call spring like a child crying, but Pu'er here has a rhythm that makes people think about it.

In Pu'er's previous plan with Golden Retriever, it was responsible for attracting the messenger crow, and then Golden Retriever made a move to catch it!

However, what made Pu'er a little hurt was that the crow seemed to have heard his cry, but it didn't respond to it, and began to circle around, preparing to leave the original delivery point.

And the golden retriever who was still confused below, after hearing Pu'er's call, thought he finally understood the plan, and it was supposed to act as a "thug", at this time it also showed a wink, and began to yell with a trill:

"Woof~ woo~ woof~ woo~"

Pu'er looked at the golden retriever who was calling out emotionally below, and then looked at the crow that was about to leave below, and found that the crow seemed to have been stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and began to fly towards the rooftop.

Pu'er thinks that the feathers and bones of this messenger may be raw materials made of female crows, it must be!

The crow flew in front of the golden retriever, and began to rotate its body, showing its charm to the golden retriever.

It can be seen from this that even if the great evil god becomes a dog, he still has an inexplicable allure to the opposite sex of different races.

At this time, the roles of the cat and the dog were reversed, and Pu'er, who was originally acting as a seducer, turned into an interceptor, leaping up instantly, with the cat's claws sticking out.

Pu'er doesn't know how to fight. Diss even said, who would raise such a weak strange monster?

But at this time, what Pu'er showed was the ability of a cat, and it was facing a crow.

The black cat and the black crow met in the air. Pu'er grabbed the crow's leg tied to the letter with one paw, and the attacked crow automatically pulled the burning formation, and a blue flame rose from it. It was reduced to ashes, but the leg was left behind.

After landing, Pu'er turned around immediately, came to the crow's leg that fell on the roof, and carefully untied the red line on the letter with the cat's paw, and the golden retriever also moved his head to look at it together.

Finally, the red thread was untied, and the letterhead was also spread out:

"Conference Hall 3, Curtis Building, 2 p.m., 25th."

Here is the place and date of the meeting,

But the signature at the bottom of the letterhead,

But Pu'er and Golden Retriever looked at each other subconsciously:

"The light lasts forever."

———

And at night.
