Chapter Seventy-Four: Alan
Breakfast is still prepared by Aunt Ellie, compared to the braised beef, fresh shrimp and fish plates, soup pork ribs, Laotan sauerkraut and other instant noodles made by Qi Lin before, Aunt Ellie's breakfast is obviously much lighter, but maybe it is an illusion, Qi Lin actually found that Angel was happier than eating delicious instant noodles.
At first, Aunt Ellie took Jack to eat in the kitchen, but Qi Lin forcibly left it on the table because she liked to be lively.
Although Jack and Aunt Ellie both work for Qi Lin, in fact, Qi Lin feels that he owes Jack a big favor, after all, those peas are treasures that cannot be exchanged.
Therefore, Qi Lin did not treat Jack's mother and daughter as ordinary employees or servants in his heart, but put them in a relatively equal position.
But this is in line with Angel's heart, after all, no matter what age she is, girls like beautiful clothes, and wearing beautiful clothes naturally has to show off in front of others.
"Angel's dress is beautiful!" While eating, Angel kept showing off the new dress she had just arrived at Jack.
Finally putting down the empty rice bowl, Jack said vaguely while chewing on the bacon and bread that had not yet been swallowed in his mouth: "Good looking is good-looking, but it is not warm when you look at it." ”
Jack, who has lived in the woods since he was a child, has always been a pragmatist, and the criterion for judging the quality of clothes is whether they are warm or not, and it is obvious that Angel's slightly thin clothes made of silk do not meet Jack's practical concept that warmth is king.
As soon as Jack finished speaking, Ellie slapped him on the back of the head and shouted, "Miss asked you if you were pretty, and didn't ask you if you were warm or not, and if you couldn't speak, you would go to the kitchen for me to eat!"
Then Aunt Ellie said to Angel with a smile on her face: "Miss's appearance is there, no matter what she wears, she is just as beautiful, but this dress is really handsome, and she looks like a goddess when she wears it on Miss." ”
But then Aunt Ellie added: "But it's really not warm to look good, Miss, you'd better put on another coat, or you'll catch a cold when you go out for a while." ”
Angel originally wanted to hear some kind words praising her beauty, but she didn't expect that two people in a row asked her to pay attention to keeping warm, and in an instant the little girl's heart was filled with a slight sense of loss, and she raised her little face to look at Qi Lin for help.
Looking at Angel's eyes begging for comfort, Qi Lin slowly took a sip of porridge and said: "You have thermal underwear, if not, there is a sunshine bear, it will definitely not be cold, our Angel is so cute, you must wear the most beautiful clothes." ”
Then Qi Lin said: "Angel has changed into new clothes, Jack and Aunt Ellie can't continue to wear the old clothes, you can change the clothes in a while, the thicker ones are thermal underwear, no matter how cold they are on the body, they can keep the body warm, and the thinner ones are the coats, and our family must attract attention when they go out!"
"Master Qi Lin, our clothes can still be worn, how can we let you break the bank!" Aunt Ellie hurriedly waved her hand and refused.
Qi Lin shook his head lightly, and directly stuffed a few sets of clothes to the mother and daughter and said: "This is not just for the sake of looking good, we will do this business in the future, so only by dressing well can we attract customers, after all, the clothes sold are all worn in tatters, and who will buy your things." ”
These sets of clothes were chosen by Qi Lin for the Happy Prince, compared to Qi Lin and Angel's clothes, they are much cheaper, and there is nothing novel in the style, the only advantage is probably that the texture of silk is unique in this world.
Hearing that it was a business need, Aunt Ellie put away the clothes with a smile, although these clothes looked quite thin, but Qi Lin said that the thermal underwear in it was specially designed to resist the cold, looking at the bright skin-like texture of the clothes in her hand, Aunt Ellie sighed vigorously, she had never worn such beautiful clothes in her life.
The noisy breakfast lasted for more than half an hour, and Qi Lin pulled Angel and was about to tell her about natural science and other things, but Jack, who had just changed his clothes, flew over from outside the door and shouted excitedly.
"Boss, there's a sheriff who said he asked to see you. ”
Then Jack added, "By the way, he said his name was Alan. ”
Hearing Allen's name, Qi Lin nodded knowingly, he was deeply impressed by the team leader who was very likely to be in a semi-awake state with keen observation, and he even took the initiative to invite Allen to his manor as a guest at that time.
It's just that he didn't expect Alan to be so impatient, you must know that his arm was almost scrapped yesterday, although there was sunshine treatment, but he was too injured at that time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to move vigorously in a short time.
"Let's go, I'll go meet you. After thinking about it, Qi Lin didn't put on a score, although with his identity at the moment, letting Alan meet him would be a face, but Alan may have awakened after all, and Qi Lin's welcome is also a pre-investment.
In the cold wind outside, Alan stood outside the door of the manor with a solemn face, although after a night of cultivation, his arm still twitched involuntarily from time to time, but compared to complete cripplement, such a nervous twitch cultivation can be good for a few days, Alan is already very content with this.
However, the pain in his arm could not free Alan from his hesitation, and after a night of thinking, he still hesitated.
However, when he saw Qi Lin walking out of the cover of the building and greeting the figure towards the door, Allen's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement.
As the captain of the security team, he may be a figure in the eyes of ordinary people, but any small nobleman can treat him with contempt, and he can be greeted by Qi Lin in person, how can Allen not be excited.
Soon, this trace of excitement turned into a determined look, he gritted his teeth lightly, ran a few steps quickly, walked to Qi Lin, and knelt down on one knee with a solemn face.
In this world, kneeling is not a common etiquette, and even ordinary poor people only bow when they see Count Pothos.
Generally speaking, people only choose to bow down when they express allegiance or in important circumstances, especially kneeling on one knee is the standard posture of allegiance.
Eren is not a man of words, and actions are more important to him than anything else. What's more, although he didn't say anything, the position of kneeling on one knee was enough to explain all his thoughts.
"That ray of sunshine wasn't wasted!" Qi Lin sighed with joy in his heart, but he quickly pretended that he couldn't stand it and hid aside to help Alan up.
"Captain Allen, our two brothers can be regarded as sharing life and death together, if there is anything to say in the house, there is no need to perform such a big courtesy. Qi Lin dragged Alan into the reception room.
