XXXI. Eat at Pavaren's house

"Knock knock."

"Here we are." Jasmine opened the door and saw Xiu standing in the doorway.

"Yo, you're back? It was just in time for breakfast. In the back, Xi Liwei sat at the dining table.

"I'll prepare another one." Jasmine turned and went into the kitchen.

Xiu closed the door and walked to the table and sat down, "It's quite a coincidence." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Xi Liwei looked at him and felt that something was wrong with his emotions.

"It's nothing, I was just going to go out for a walk yesterday, but I didn't expect to encounter something." Xiu shook his head, not ready to say anything about Catholicism.

"I've got my papers." Gangan on one side handed him a small black notebook.

Xiu Na opened it and looked at it, there was only some basic information, and even his birthplace was written in the sixth district of the sky capital of the Tina Kingdom.

"You just have to take the time to get a photo of yourself and post it, as long as you don't enter the federal police station, there will be no problem with this document." Gangan said as he ate his breakfast.

"In this way, this citizen certificate is not very strict." Xiu put it away.

"If you don't have it, it's very troublesome, and it's just that you don't check it, it's not that you can't check it." Gangan said calmly.

"Now that we've got our citizenship certificates, when are we leaving?" Xi Liwei spoke.

Xiu thought for a moment, "Tomorrow, I'll have to go see someone to get something later." ”

"Okay." Xi Liwei didn't ask him what he was doing, the two had a cooperative relationship, no matter so much.

"The station is in the center of the sixth district, and I'll drive you there tomorrow." Gangan nodded.

Jasmine brought a breakfast for Xiu, and turned back to the kitchen, where she felt she shouldn't be in attendance as they were talking.

Bailu has been silently sitting beside Gangan with his head down, and he doesn't speak, his thin body contrasts sharply with the burly Gangan.

"By the way, you can leave with your sister-in-law and Bailu after that." Breakfast was jam bread, Xiu said casually while eating.

"What do you mean?" Gangan asked suspiciously, but he didn't correct the sister-in-law that Xiu said.

Bailu raised his head slightly, a little concerned.

Gangan raised his hand and rubbed it on the white deer's head, and the huge palm almost wrapped the entire head of the white deer.

"There may be some trouble in District 6, no, it should be more than District 6, anyway, you should leave with them early, it's good to go to Meclos." Xiu said vaguely.

"Trouble in District 6? This is already the most marginal place. Gangan frowned.

"Trust me, you can also talk to Krent, he should know something, and I won't hurt you." Xiu put down his bread and sighed.

"Okay, when you leave, I'll leave with Jasmine and Bailu, forget about Meklos, and Peng Mingdu will be fine." Gangan patted Bailu's head lightly, then withdrew his hand.

Bailu was a little happy, but he didn't show it.

After the meal, Gangan went to find Gangguo to go out together, it should be to do some Clente things, Lotus was very honest, so she stayed at Ganggo's house with Fubo, Xiliwei slept all day yesterday and wanted to go out for a walk, and Bailu was going to be a newsboy.

Xiuhua spent the night slowly wandering back to the small south block, ready to rest in the morning.

Jasmine went to Gango's house next door to clean up, and she was cleaning the brothers' house.

At twelve o'clock, Xiu opened his eyes and got up from the couch.

He stretched, then closed the door and went downstairs.

The streets are still bustling with activity, because the place is not very wealthy, and most of the work is still done with hard work, such as moving things, unloading goods, etc., which rarely lasts a whole day.

So many people work two jobs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, so there are more people running around at noon.

On the contrary, there are very few people in the central area at noon, only some people shopping.

Pavaren funeral parlor, "Jingle bells." ”

"I'm sorry, the boss is out." Peel sat at the cash register, looking at the newspaper and said without looking up.

"It's okay, I can wait for him for a while."

Peel glanced up, then quickly stood up, he remembered the man who had come yesterday and was taken to the room by the boss to talk about business.

Having worked here for so long, Peel vaguely knew that there was more to it than just a funeral shop, but he never touched it, and he did whatever the boss told him to do.

"Hello, are you going to wait in your room?" Peel said respectfully.

Although he didn't know what the boss's other business was, he always felt that it was not simple, and he never slacked off these people who talked about other businesses with the boss.

"No, get me a newspaper too." With that, Xiu had already reached out and grabbed the newspaper on the table by himself.

Peel consciously moved out of his place and poured water for him.

"Thank you." Xiu unceremoniously took Peel's place, opened the newspaper and read it.

The newspaper office is also a business, nominally belonging to the Federation, but in fact it is distributed to each country to handle itself, just like the Tina newspaper that Peel reads, there is a newspaper office in every block, one crown, which is very cheap.

The plates of newspapers are also divided into fixed plates and flowing plates.

The fixed board is the news transmitted from the upper echelons of the newspaper, which is usually the latest policy of some federation or kingdom, the speech of such and such a leader, the process of a certain banquet or visit, and these contents are updated once a week.

The mobile board is the free posting of some anecdotes around the newspaper office, some anecdotes, short stories written by the self-proclaimed author, or the surrounding history.

Ordinary people read newspapers to pass the time, after all, the fixed board can't be understood, and the mobile board is full of fun.

But for those who really have a discerning eye, it's the fixed plate that is where the value lies.

Although it is impossible for the Federation to actually publish something in the newspapers, there are always people who can get obscure wind direction through some actions.

Just like Xiu saw one: "Recently, the Prime Minister and the Queen had a secret meeting, and reached an agreement on a trade policy with the diplomatic envoys of the Ruhr Kingdom. ”

He knows that the queen has been away from home for a month, how can she talk to the prime minister secretly?

There is also a small one in the corner: "Recently, the land in the surrounding areas has been thrown out on a large scale, and the director of the local tax bureau refused to be interviewed, does it mean that there will be a new reform in the land tax?" ”

Reform? Of course, there will be reforms, in case there will be a lot of bloodshed at that time, and the six districts will become empty cities, and land will become the most worthless thing.

So, what you see is only what the people above want you to see, if Xiu doesn't know the news behind this, it's not like he can't see anything from these things.

Peel stood beside him for a while, watching him so engrossed that he didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only pick up a broom and rag to clean the coffins.

Thankfully, Pavaren was soon back.

Outside the door there was the sound of horses barking and wheels.

"Hey Peele! Come out and help and send this gentleman to the basement! Pavalen glanced through the glass door and was surprised to see that Peel was cleaning.

This kid is usually very lazy.

"Okay boss." Peel hurried out.

"Bunney, pull the carriage to the stable at the back of the house, and give Peel a hand." A woman beside Pavalen said to the young man holding the coffin behind.

"Okay boss." Bunney nodded.

It was a brown motley horse, not too thin or strong, but a little older and looking a little sluggish.

It was pulling a cart, and Pavalen and the woman were sitting on the frame on either side of the cart, on which a coffin was fastened with rope, and a young man named Buni held the coffin behind to prevent the bumps.

"Boss, Ms. Sophie." Peel said hello to the two of them, and then pulled the old horse down the side path to the back of the house.

Ms. Sophie looked no younger, about the same age as Pavalen, without makeup, but her eyes were still bright, and she wore a small black hat, somewhat similar to a gentleman's hat, but it was soft and not so high, and the brim was slightly curved. Wearing a black coat.

Mr. Pavaren was still dressed in a black suit.

"Oh, it looks like a friend from yesterday came, no wonder Peel is so diligent." Pavalen took off his black leather gloves and saw Xiu inside.

"Do you have any friends?" Sophie glanced at him.

"Don't say that, dear Sophie, let's go meet him together, there's a document for him." Pavalen pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mr. Pavaren, are you back?" Xiu stood up and folded the newspaper and put it back.

"Mr. Xiu, good afternoon, this is Ms. Sophie, who is also a first-class person in a headhunting company. This is Xiu, and he has the token of Noka, a third-level personnel, in his hand. Pavalen introduced the two of them to each other.

"Hello, Ms. Sophie."

"Hello, Mr. Xiu."

The two said hello.

"Have you had lunch? Would you like to have a meal together? Pavaren gave an invitation, and he went out in the morning to retrieve the body, and he had not yet eaten.

"Then I'm bothering you." Xiu smiled and was not polite.

There was also a small house behind the funeral parlor where Pavaren lived, with a stable next to it and a passage to the basement next to the stable.

"I'll cook, you guys wait here." Pavalen entered the kitchen, and Sophie nodded to Xiu and followed up to help.

Xiu looked around, and the decoration was very simple.

Pavaren was alone, with no relatives and no wife, and Peel was just a long-term worker in his shop with his own family, so Pavalen was the only one who lived here, and he usually cooked his own cooking.

Sophie just came here yesterday, the headhunter means, they have their own tasks.

Soon, Sophie brought three dishes and one soup, stir-fried vegetables, roasted potatoes, stir-fried meat with chili peppers, and tomato soup.

"I'll tell Bunny to buy something to eat." Sophie wiped her hands with a rag.

Bunney is here in Sophie what Peel is in Pavaren, but Buni already knows about the headhunter, and Sophie is his guide.

"Won't you let him eat with him?" Xiu asked suspiciously.

Sophie shook her head, "If you let him come, you'll have to let Peel come with you, but it's not appropriate for him to hear what we're talking about later, so it's better to let those two lads go out to eat by themselves." ”
