It wasn't until the second half of the night that Ma Wei stopped what he was doing.

According to the information brought back by the cat, the major churches in the city have opened up their share of holy water, from a small supply at the beginning, to an unlimited supply.

This means that his plan was successful.

With so much holy water, he no longer has to worry about the safety of his followers, and after the rats in the city are cleared, people's lives can return to normal.

The crisis has been lifted for the time being.

Except for breakfast, Yunia, who had nothing to eat, was already hungry, but she insisted on staying with her father, and after Ma Wei was done, she ran to the kitchen on her feet: "Come here, Dad, we can finally have dinner!" ”

Mrs. Cecil said that it was easy to prepare some dinner, but in order to welcome Unia's arrival, she made a dinner that was not unsumptuous.

Pea ham broth, baked potatoes, fried bacon, scrambled eggs with butter....

Carefully prepared dishes are served on porcelain plates, waiting for diners.

Yunia couldn't wait to grab a baked potato with skin, opened her mouth and took a big bite, and...

Silently put it down.

"What's wrong?"

As he put the buttered bread in his mouth, Mavi asked, "Isn't it to your taste?" ”

Yunia nodded, and quickly shook her head, her little hands twisted together, and said in a tangled way: "I want to eat last night's beef...."

The smell of the cold potatoes was the same as chewing wax, and it didn't taste good, so Mavi thought for a moment, raised his hand to take the potatoes from Unia's plate, and put his bacon and scrambled eggs in front of her.

"Dad, aren't you going to eat?"

"I don't like bacon and eggs."

Hearing this, Yunia happily picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of yellow scrambled eggs and put them in her mouth, and her calves dangled under the table, spoonful after spoonful.

"Pea soup must be drunk, it is rich in vitamins and good for the body." Ma Wei admonished.

"What's a vitamin, Daddy."

"Hmm...."

Faced with Yunia's question, Ma Wei didn't know how to explain it for a while, he wanted to use the concept of modern medicine to explain, but he was afraid that Yunia wouldn't understand.

"Peas protect against scurvy." He said.

"Scurvy?"

"That's right, it's a terrible disease, it can cause tooth loss, depression, and red-black spots on the skin...."Ma Wei bared his teeth: "If you don't eat more vegetables, the pretty Yunia will become ugly." ”

"Ahh

Startled, Yunia quickly abandoned the bacon and launched an attack on the pea soup, sticking out her tongue as she drank it, apparently not very good.

"Hiccup... Daddy, Yunia is done! ”

Perhaps because she drank too quickly, causing the air to enter her stomach, Yunia burped, put down a drop of soup plate, and asked a little nervously, "Yunia won't lose her teeth now, right..."

"Not anymore." Ma Wei smiled and said: "But it's not enough to drink it once, you have to eat vegetables often, otherwise your teeth will still fall out... Alas, if that had happened, poor Yunia would not have even been able to eat meat. ”

"Eat by all means! Yunia will definitely eat vegetables regularly! ”

Ma Wei nodded with satisfaction: "I'll take you to buy a few sets of clothes tomorrow, although Mrs. Cecil has brought a lot of old clothes, but those are outdated." ”

"Okay, okay!"

That's when ....

Fat orange Xiaohei jumped in from the window, and said with a tired face: "It's done, the dead rats are all thrown to the side of Central Avenue, and when the patrol police find out, they will be cremated." ”

"Thanks, do you eat bread?" Ma Wei handed over the half-eaten buttered bread.

Fat Orange didn't even look at the bread, but just sat down next to Yunia, and after a short thought, he stopped talking.

"I... There's good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first? ”

"Bad news."

"Let's tell the good news first, lest you faint in anger." Fat Orange licked his mouth: "The good news is that the church already has a large number of cat believers, and you can command them to do anything. ”

This is indeed good news, and great news.

Cats move quickly, react quickly, come and go without a trace, and are definitely the most flexible eyes in the streets.

With the Cat Legion, Ma Wei can do many things that he couldn't do before,

"Where's the bad news?"

"The bad news is.... Ahem, you have to provide them with warm shelter and tasty food. ”

Smack.

Bread, dropped on the table.

Ma Wei looked at Fat Tangerine dumbfounded, and almost didn't catch his breath.

"What, do you want to just take advantage of it and not do anything?"

Fat Orange glared at him unhappily: "Cats and cats, like people, also need food, shelter from the wind and rain, now that winter is coming, if you ignore them, the number of homeless cats will definitely drop sharply!" ”

"No, no, no.... I'm not a scumbag who lifts up my pants and doesn't recognize cats...."

Ma Wei shook his head again and again: "But have you ever thought about it, it's not one or two, but.... More than a thousand! The cattery can't afford it!! ”

"1,535." Fat Tangerine gave an accurate figure: "On the way back, I did a simple calculation, based on the average daily diet of 200 grams of meat per cat, you have to prepare for a day.... 677 pounds of food. ”

“......”

"In normal times, I could still organize them to eat rats, but you know, there won't be more than 50 rats in the city at the moment, well, maybe less."

The warm language shattered the last trace of luck in Ma Wei's heart.

"I.... ! ”

Ma Wei's eyes were desperate, and he looked at the ceiling without love, his lips trembling.

He often goes to the market, he knows very well the prices in the Kingdom of Windsor, 5 copper pence for a pound of beef, 3 copper pence for a pound of fish, the price is not cheap.

If someone were to ask him why he didn't eat pork when beef costs 5p, then Mavi would definitely smack him in the face and tell him in all seriousness that in this day and age, a pound of pork costs 7p, which is more expensive than beef!

Even the cheapest fish is served every day, 677 pounds for 2031 pence!

Every day!

In other words, Ma Wei has to pay 8.5 gold pounds a day just to provide food to the cats!

255 gold pounds a month, a year ....

Ma Wei didn't dare to think about it, his head was already big.

The buttery bread that used to be flavorful has lost its flavor at the moment.

Despair.

Apart from these two words, Ma Wei really couldn't find any other words to describe his current mood.

"Meow...."

Xiao Hei came to Ma Wei, raised his paw and pressed it on the back of his hand, and comforted: "Master, you have to look on the good side!" Being served by more than a thousand cats, who in the world can have this kind of treatment? Isn't that meow? ”

"I.... Thank you so much. Ma Wei wanted to cry without tears.

"It's okay master, this is what Xiao Hei should do!"
