Chapter 45: The Three Realms Deposit
"The salary of an architectural designer is very high?" Xu Mu looked at Feng Yuan with a blank eye, and even began to consider the possibility of changing his career to study architecture.
"It's not just my salary, it's my part-time income that's my main source of income. "For example, the director of the Shanghai Branch of the Human Security Administration or something. Feng Yuan looked at Xu Mu helplessly, when it came to money, this kid was always more energetic than anything.
"That's right. Xu Mu nodded suddenly in realization, no wonder he often works overtime, it is estimated that he has privately taken on a lot of work like the hotel design of Brother Lotte's house. "Why don't you buy a house first when you have the money?"
Last time, Brother Lotte asked you to buy a house, and you said that you had no money. Xu Mu immediately thought of the conversation between the two when Wang Lotian came to the house for dinner last time.
What a waste of paying more than 6,000 yuan in rent every month!
"Well, I'm trying to take a look these days. Feng Yuan replied lightly, his tone was extremely casual, as if he was saying that he wanted to buy apples in the past few days, "Do you want to go with me to see the model house another day?"
"Of course!" Xu Mu nodded hurriedly, he could be the first to see Feng Yuan's new house, great!
The first thing Xu Mu did when he got home was to be driven into the bathroom by Feng Yuan to take a bath, and today he delivered more than 200 goods, and his clothes were dry and wet, and they were about to produce salt flowers.
When he walked out of the bathroom with his hair wiped his hair, he saw Feng Yuan sitting leisurely on the sofa listening to TV and reading magazines, the little white cat was lying on the armrest of the sofa with his tail flicking, the golden ring around his neck was shining, and he looked like a well-behaved home, but his eyes were blazing, staring intently at the can of Sprite that Feng Yuan put on the coffee table.
"Are you finally willing to come out?" Seeing Fu Zhu, Xu Musan stepped to the edge of the sofa in two steps, pointed to it and said to Feng Yuan, "Brother, have you seen it, it's it." ”
Feng Yuan nodded calmly and flipped the page of the magazine in his hand without raising his head, "Yes, it was lying there when I entered the door." ”
Xu Mu paused for two seconds and scratched his hair, "No, it must have jumped out of the unicorn bead in my backpack." ”
"Oh. Feng Yuan nodded perfunctorily and reached out to take the Sprite on the coffee table, saying that you can say whatever you want, but I definitely don't believe it.
"Quickly turn back into Bailu and show him. In order to prove his innocence, Xu Mu hurriedly commanded his husband to transform.
The little white cat innocently moved its ears and looked at Xu Mu with glass-like eyes, looking like "what the hell are you talking about, people are just ordinary kittens".
It's okay to offend the little Taoist, offend the one next to you, but it's okay to be made into a hot pot!
"Sprite, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Xu Mu squatted in front of the sofa, wrapped the kitten's body with the towel he used to wipe his hair, picked it up and looked at it, and found nothing unusual.
"Sprite?" Feng Yuan, who was about to drink the Sprite can, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Mu suspiciously.
"It wouldn't tell me its name, and it loved Sprite so much, so I named it Sprite. ”
Feng Yuan: ..................
Fortunately, Zhao Yan has a name, otherwise his skin is so dark, if he points to Xu Mu's name, it is estimated that he will have to call it Coke.
"Blow dry your hair. Feng Yuan looked at the water droplets that kept rolling down Xu Mu's body with disgust.
"It's probably in a bad mood today, and I'll let it change for you another day. Xu Mu embarrassedly put down the little milk cat in his hand, went to the coffee table and turned out the hair dryer, and ran back to the bathroom barefoot to blow his hair. I don't know what kind of wind this arrogant monster is smoking, just forget if you don't change your body, what's going on without even saying anything?
Aiming at Xu Mu's back, Feng Yuan stretched out his slender fingers, scratched the little white cat's chin encouragingly, and handed it the drink in his hand, good, well done!
The kitten raised her chin coquettishly, squinted her eyes and enjoyed the service, and the drink in the can rose from the mouth of the can in a thin line, bent like a rainbow, and fell into the husband's mouth accurately.
Hmm, it's delicious.
The food for humans is so good.
The master has said before that the one who knows food is Junjie, and this seat is of course Junjie.
That night, when Feng Yuan deliberately "occupied" the sofa to listen to TV, Xu Mu, who practiced breathing, had to avoid the master bedroom, and finally simply fell asleep. The next morning, without any surprise, I was hugged by the big demon king who had the air to get up.
It's still a little unaccustomed to it again and again, and when it's time again and again, Xu Mu has been able to hold his mobile phone and calmly brush the weather forecast and morning news and wait for Feng Yuan to wake up, anyway, it's useless to be in a hurry, taking a ride is more comfortable than squeezing the subway, why not?
Habit becomes nature, and truth is unbreakable.
The courier brother rushed to the courier point before eight o'clock, starting from the tally, and then opened the mode of a busy day. For the first time, the number of packages today fell into double digits, with only ninety-seven.
Xu Mu habitually paid attention to Xia Qingping Lane, there are two goods over there today, one belongs to the long-eared princess of the Sifang Teahouse, and the sender is still the vegetable network that has not changed for thousands of years, I have to say that the girl is really a consistent loyal user.
The other was sent to Baiyutang on No. 56, and Mr. Love Swimmer received it, and the sending column was filled with a bed. Xu Mu looked at the box in front of him with a side length of more than 30 centimeters, yes, needless to say, it is estimated that there is a tank or jar inside, and it seems that the previous one is a return.
However, seeing the ID of this Mr. who loves swimming, Xu Mu also remembered the incident last time, he was pitted by that strange old man for three bottles of rice wine from Daoxiang Village, so it is better to simply buy it this time and send it together when the time comes, saving you a lot of dreams at night, and you really got something out of it by the old man.
The remarks column is marked with small handwritten red letters, [Please try to deliver between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m., do not disturb during the day].
Do not disturb during the day?
Xu Mu stared at the line twice before confirming that he was not mistaken.
What the heck?
It doesn't matter from 8 o'clock in the morning to 4 o'clock in the evening, from 8 o'clock in the evening to 4 o'clock in the morning, which courier company still delivers it!
In the afternoon, when he arrived at Qingping Lane and delivered the package of Princess Chang'er, Xu Mu went to the door of No. 56 to go around without giving up, and sure enough, the door was closed, and no matter how he knocked on the door, there was no response.
Yes, it seems that today I really can't escape the fate of overtime!
Xu Mu was silently lamenting, and he saw Zhou Ye coming towards him, and the man with glasses with long red hair on his head was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
"What, come to deliver the goods?" Zhou Ye greeted him kindly, pushed his glasses again, and looked at the shop in front of him that showed no signs of opening, "This store is a yin market, and it only opens after eight o'clock every night." ”
"Yes, it says delivery between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. Xu Mu poked the small remarks on the list melancholy, only one dollar was mentioned for a piece of goods, and at least four yuan was required for a single trip at night, which was a big loss!!
"How can there be wine?" Zhou Ye found the three bottles of rice wine next to the box with sharp eyes.
"Hey, last time I met a friend of the owner in this shop, that old man asked me to buy him three bottles of Daoxiangcun wine when I was free. Speaking of this, Xu Mu became more and more sad.
"It's a hassle to run around with this pile, if you're all right, why don't you come and sit with me for a few hours, and then come back when the door opens." It just so happens that today we have to wait for a few temporary residence permits, and it is estimated that it will not close until nine o'clock at the earliest. In addition, I heard Narukawa say that I want to find time to reward you with what I did last time!" The last time the thing was investigated by him, he was rude to this little Taoist priest during the day, and he was demolished by his own boss at night, plus the last time he sent the express delivery, this little Taoist priest, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with his own boss, and he can take care of it.
Reward!
Xu Mu's eyes immediately popped up with two big "¥", there was no news of the case being closed last time, and he thought that this reward would not come out, but he didn't expect Ming Chuan to be so efficient, and he was ready.
"Okay, great. Xu Mu immediately pushed the little three wheels and Zhou Ye to the office of No. 64, and made up his mind to follow Zhou Ye for a few hours.
The sixty-fourth room was still very quiet, and Narukawa slept in the cubicle as always. Speaking of which, this guy is also very much like a nocturnal attribute, when he sees him during the day, he is basically sleeping, and at night, he looks like he has just gotten up.
Zhou Ye arranged for Xu Mu to also sit in the cubicle to rest, and when he brought him tea, he kicked Mingchuan's shoes by the way, "Wake up, a guest is here." ”
A small black bird with a big fist squatted on top of his head, and looked curiously at Xu Mu who had just entered the door with two eyes the size of soybeans.
"Who is so ignorant, do you want me to bite ......" Narukawa grabbed the silver hair on the top of his head irritably, squinted his phoenix eyes murderously, and saw that it was Zhou Ye standing in front of him, and the fire that had just been ignited was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his voice stopped abruptly.
"The little Taoist priest is here, why don't you hurry up and lend the last reward to others. Zhou Ye raised his chin and pointed to Xu Mu next to him.
"Got it. Narukawa stretched helplessly, got up and left the cubicle, and could be seen bending over and rummaging under the second table through the door.
Zhou Ye put down the tea tray, "You can play with your mobile phone and watch TV here, and you can go over at eight o'clock." I'll be busy with the registration work later, so don't mind if there's a lack of hospitality. ”
"Trouble. The courier brother scratched his head, always feeling that Zhou Ye's attitude towards him was a little too good.
When they met for the first time, Zhou Ye was only polite and polite, but now he is a bit of a guest.
Look at the set of glazed tea sets in front of you that are extremely similar to the plum blossom folding branches and cracks of the Ge kiln that Wang Lotian bought for millions of dollars at the auction last time, if this is really the porcelain of the Ge kiln, it would be too wasteful to entertain him for such a person who rubs his feet to rest!
In the two small dishes next to it, there are also a few kinds of puff pastry and glutinous rice noodles, which are extremely delicate, and the size is just right for ordinary people to take a bite.
Zhou Ye pointed to the half-human-high wooden cabinet next to him, "If you don't like dim sum, it's all snacks from Narukawa, you can eat it at will, he will never dare to say anything." ”
Xu Mu: ..................
Come on, I don't want to offend that monster that clearly belongs to fire.
At this time, Ming Chuan had already walked into the cubicle again with a piece of paper, and slapped the paper and a pen on the table in front of Xu Mu with a "snap", in Zhou Ye's "gentle" gaze, he had to slow down his tone, "Oh, sign." ”
The black bird jumped on Narukawa's shoulder and pecked its tail feathers leisurely.
Narukawa poked it in the stomach with his hand, "Let's go, you've been playing for three days this time." ”
The paper of that paper was similar to the information sheet filled in by Xu Mu last time, the color was slightly yellowed, and it listed items such as the project co-organizer's bonus, amount, and handler, only the last recipient and the date of receipt were empty, which was obviously the place where he needed to sign.
When Xu Mu saw that the amount of the bonus was five hundred yuan, he couldn't help but be stunned.
So high?
He thought it would be one or two hundred dollars at most.
However, before he could be happy for a few seconds, he found that the unit following behind him was a big "demon coin".
"Demon coins?" Xu Mu looked at Ming Chuan in embarrassment, what was the use of him asking for demon coins? "Can it be exchanged for RMB?"
Narukawa narrowed his phoenix eyes and hooked the corners of his lips, "It's okay to change RMB, I'm going to check the exchange rate, but I need to pay a 30% handling fee, are you sure you want to change?"
"30% handling fee?" "Pit man! 500 demon coins are directly less than 150 yuan, too expensive!
Xu Mu looked at Zhou Ye inquiringly, Narukawa was joking, right?
"He is right, more than 100 yuan of demon coins belong to a large amount of exchange, and the cumulative amount of 100 yuan within half a year, the amount of demon coins to exchange huàn yuan does need to pay 30% of the handling fee, so under normal circumstances, we do not build yì to exchange huàn. This is also to prevent a large amount of money from the demon world from pouring into the human world, as you know, usually they have a relatively long lifespan and a large amount of family property saved. ”
"However, I can't use the demon coins. Xu Mu scratched his ears, looked down at the list, and spent 30% of the handling fee, he was really reluctant.
"It doesn't matter, at least in Qingping Lane, more than 80% of the shops can use demon coins, so you don't have to worry about not being able to spend them. Besides, if you don't really need it, you can also deposit it in our bank first, similar to your human bank, and the annual interest rate is similar to that of human bank. Zhou Ye pushed his glasses and explained patiently.
"What is the approximate exchange rate between the demon currency and the yuan?"
"It usually fluctuates between 1:95 and 1:105. ”
Xu Mu: ..................
What!
The prize money is 50,000 RMB!
The courier brother stared at the list in front of him and gasped, the Authority is really rich!
"I save it. Xu Mu hurriedly said to Zhou Ye, lowered his head and quickly signed his name and date in the blank two lines. It's impossible to spend 15,000 on handling fees.
Zhou Ye brought a note similar to a deposit slip for him to sign, and then pressed a seal with the thickness of a brush on the nail cover of Xu Mu's right thumb, and the red word "500" stayed on his nail for about four or five seconds, and then faintly faded, recovering as before.
"You can brush this nail when you use it in the future. Zhou Ye nodded Xu Mu's thumb with the slender seal.
"Straight brush?"
"Yes, the remaining amount will be shown as before. ”
It's amazing!
Xu Mu stroked his fingernails, okay, now he is also a person with deposits in the Three Realms, although the amount is not as much as Feng Yuan, but there are always more coins than Feng Yuan!
The bird on Narukawa's shoulder spread its wings and flew up, tilted its head and landed on Xu Mu's shoulder, and rubbed Xu Mu's neck with the top of his head affectionately.
Zhou Ye and Narukawa were obviously stunned for a moment, looking at each other, as if they didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of them.
Xu Mu was a little itchy by it, and shrunk his shoulders to avoid it while laughing.
The little bird rubbed twice, and when he saw that Xu Mu didn't like it, he flew up in disappointment, flew out of the compartment along the gap in the Bogu frame, and disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye.
"It's gone, is it okay?" Xu Mu pointed in the direction where the bird disappeared and looked at Narukawa.
"It's okay, just run away. Narukawa, who came back to his senses, seemed to be relieved.
reported to Feng Yuan that he would work overtime and return late today, and in the next few hours, Zhou Ye diligently received all the little demons who applied for temporary residence permits outside, while Ming Chuan stayed in the compartment with nothing to do, sharing Xu Mu's tea while playing chess with him.
In the middle, when Feng Yuan texted to ask where he was, he directly sent the address of No. 64.
The two played from Go and Xiangqi to military chess, checkers, and even five-finger chess, and Xu Mu miraculously did not win a game.
Xu Mu felt that he had been hurt by 10,000 points, and even the stupid hair on his head drooped down, even if he was playing Go or something, he lost things like checkers and backgammon, what was going on?
Narukawa, who had won a big victory, was in a good mood, and was rolling up his sleeves and preparing to ravage Xu Mu again, when Feng Yuan stepped in.
Zhou Ye outside stood up "Teng", and just opened his mouth to call the boss, but was stopped by Feng Yuan with his gaze, "Is Xu Mu there?"
Narukawa froze in place when he heard the sound, what was the situation, what kind of wind blew Feng Yuan here today? And he was actually looking for this little Taoist priest?
"He's in there. Zhou Ye pointed in the direction of the compartment.
Feng Yuan looked at the two stiff statues in the compartment, and raised his chin at Xu Muyang gently, "I happened to be passing by, let's go to dinner together." ”
Just passing by?
Boss, since you took over our Shanghai Branch, you can count the number of times you have personally stepped into this place on one hand. Ming Chuan accused Feng Yuan with his eyes.
"But my package is very large, and it is inconvenient to carry. Xu Mu scratched his ears in embarrassment.
Feng Yuan raised his eyes to look at the person next to Xu Mu, Ming Chuan immediately shook like an electric shock, laughed dryly twice and hurriedly said, "Haha, it's okay, you go, I'll help you watch, rest assured, I promise that no one will touch it." ”
I also wanted to pat Xu Mu's shoulder boldly, but when I met Feng Yuan's cold gaze, I took my hand back stiffly, Boss, we just want to show friendship, I really don't mean anything else.
"Xiao Ji, what do you say is the relationship between the boss and the little Taoist?" Waiting for Feng Yuan and Xu Mu to walk out of the door, Ming Chuan immediately put his hand on Zhou Ye's shoulder and gossiped.
"I don't know, but, it seems that I'd rather offend the boss than offend the little Taoist. Zhou Ye pushed his glasses, and his boss's eyes were about to drip when he looked at the little Taoist, that is, the silver-haired stupid tiger next to him couldn't understand it.
"Oops, the bad luck left by the "moldy" bird rubbing him just now should have been consumed when he played chess with me, right?
"Whoever told you to get old enough to provoke that bird, now you had better ask God to bless you, and don't encounter anything, or the boss will have to pinch your tail into eighteen knots again." ”
"It has no effect on my fortune, who knew that it would suddenly fall on the little Taoist. Narukawa said in annoyance, grabbing his hair.
"I rubbed it twice, and it is estimated that it will not have an impact at most * point. With the boss with him, it should be fine. Zhou Ye saw that Mingchuan was really anxious, and hurriedly appeased two more words.
Xu Mu and Feng Yuan over there were walking on the road, also full of doubts. When the people on the street saw them, they immediately avoided them, and to put it mildly, it was as if they had fled when they heard the wind.
Xu Mu looked back, there were no strange people behind him, what were everyone afraid of?
"Brother, do you think they are quite strange?" Xu Mu whispered to Feng Yuan and bit his ear, "What are the two of us afraid of?"
"Maybe I forgot to take my medicine. Feng Yuan said calmly.
The Demons: ..................
"Since you're going to be back later, why don't you find a place to eat nearby?" You have been walking here a lot lately, do you have any recommendations?" Feng Yuan's car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the two got into the car and began to walk around the neighborhood.
"There is a Sichuan restaurant about seven or eight hundred meters over there, and I can smell the fragrance every day when I pass by, why don't you try their boiled fish?" Xu Mu pointed in the direction on the right-hand side and recommended.
"Okay, just go there. Feng Yuan nodded, and as soon as he hit the steering wheel, the silver body turned the intersection and drove in the direction that Xu Mu pointed out earlier.
Before the two of them reached the door of the store, they found that there were many people bustling there. There were also uniformed people on both sides, and two cordons were raised.
Feng Yuan slowed down and pulled to the side of the road.
"Do you know what's going on over there?" Xu Mu opened the window and asked the people passing by.
"I heard that someone was killed by a fish. Passers-by answered and hurried by.
Xu Mu looked at Feng Yuan and blinked, "Brother, I heard you right, right?"
What?
Bitten to death by a fish?
This is not in the sea, how can a person be bitten to death by a fish?
"Let's go over and see. Feng Yuan extinguished the fire and motioned for Xu Mu to get out of the car and take a look.
