Chapter 19 Fish and Chips

Dino the gray wolf left, and Mavi dropped him all the way to the church door, where he watched him get into his private Clarence carriage and slowly disappear into the street with the creaking of wheels.

"Daddy...."

Yunia came up behind him: "Since he is a good friend of yours, why didn't you let him join the church?" In this case, Yunia may be able to give him some boon to protect him in the war..."

"He's a man without faith, well.... That doesn't seem right. ”

"What he believes in is not the church, but himself, and the land where he was raised, and he doesn't need to pursue the truth, he has found his own truth." ”

"But Dad, he's so rich, why don't we ask him for help?"

"Friends, don't be moved by wealth, don't be flattered by power, what's his is his, mine is mine, everyone has their own dignity and bottom line, we must respect each other's choices." Ma Wei said: "If you can solve the trouble yourself, don't ask others." ”

"Oh...."

"Are you hungry or not, let's go have lunch."

"Hmm!"

Taking his daughter's little hand, Ma Wei came to the kitchen, he had been busy all morning, he didn't even have time to drink saliva, his throat was on fire, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of sand.

Just as she had put the pot on the stove and was about to make some lunch, Mrs. Ceci returned.

She was sweating profusely, smelling of fish, and was holding a bamboo basket in her arms that contained several small-tailed herrings, which were not large, only the size of a palm.

And behind her were these meowing cats.

"I'm exhausted...."

Mrs. Cecil put the basket on the table, wiped her sweat, and began to complain: "I went to the market early in the morning, and bought half of the fish in the market, and managed to scrape together 600 pounds, but before I could get back, I was robbed by the cats!" ”

"What about cats?"

Mavi looked at the few cats following Mrs. Ceci and asked, "Are they all gone?" ”

"Don't mention it! After grabbing the fish, they don't know where to run, and eighty percent of them go to the sun! As she spoke, Mrs. Cecil laughed again, took out a gold coin, and handed it to Mavi: "Father, there is quite a lot of money left. ”

"Why are there so many?"

Mavi was surprised, according to his calculations, the price of 677 pounds of fish should be about 8.5 gold pounds according to the market price, and he gave Mrs. Cecil 9 gold coins, and only 10 silver shillings left.

"Those vendors are like changing their temperament, they used to drive cats away immediately when they saw them, but today not only do they not drive them, but they also take the initiative to feed them fish and meat, and a few cats even stay on people's stalls!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Cecil kept moving the basket full of fresh fish through the back door: "In addition, we bought a large amount, and the prices given by those fishermen were also cheap, and in the end, when I calculated, there was a full £1 left!" ”

This was something that Mavi didn't expect, and it seems that last night's events had led to a huge change in the perception of cats among people living in New Ross City.

And this morning, the church not only increased its number of believers by 200 at once, but also received 4 gold pounds, although it still could not cover the cost of food, but the expenditure of 4 pounds was still within the acceptable range of Mavi.

Mrs. Cecil brought back a lot of fresh fish, just enough to feed the old cat, who had little mobility, and when she had carried the fish into the dungeon, she put on her apron again, poured olive oil into the pot with her hands and feet, and said quickly:

"Father, you and Nia wait a while, I'll make you fish and chips!"

Mrs. Cecil had always been a very industrious person, and Mavey felt a little lazy compared to her.

"From tomorrow onwards, Mrs. Cecil, you will not have to go to the market to buy fish."

"Why?"

Mrs. Cecil, who was waiting for the oil to heat up, looked up in amazement: "If I don't buy fish, who will feed these cats?" ”

"Let them buy it themselves."

Mavi thought clearly, since the vendors in the bazaar had no ill will towards the cats, and welcomed them so much, it was better for them to buy fish with their own money, and perhaps they would buy more fish than Mrs. Cecil!

Again....

The news that the cat was an oracle would soon spread throughout the city, and the other great churches would have heard about it, and if they had investigated a little, they would have noticed Mrs. Cecil, who bought a lot of fresh fish every day, and would have suspected the Church of Truth.

In order to hide people's eyes, it is not impossible for cats to buy their favorite food by themselves.

Just let the fat orange black stare at them.

All should be paid!

Gala la la....

The herring, which had been cut open from the gutt, was coated in a thick layer of wet dough and thrown into the pan by Mrs. Cecil, where the hot oil began to cook in an instant, and countless bubbles rose in the pan, and the oil began to seep through the gaps between the dough, and the aroma spread at once.

Yunia twitched her nose, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she tugged at Mavi's sleeve with some excitement, as if asking what it was.

"Fish and chips, a classic dish of the Kingdom of Windsor, can be passed down for a hundred years." Ma Wei, who was reading the newspaper, said casually.

"It smells so good!"

"That's not it, put so much oil, wrap it in egg mixture, breadcrumbs, and slippers can fry it for you."

"Huh? Can you eat slippers? ”

Yunia lowered her head and looked at the slippers on her feet.

“.... Just a metaphor, slippers can't be eaten. ”

Mavi hurried to stop her dangerous thoughts.

"I'm sure I won't eat slippers, Yunia is not stupid, what will Yunia wear if you eat slippers!"

The problem isn't here....

Ma Wei continued to read the newspaper, he read the Ross Daily, and there would be a special newsboy to deliver it to the door before dawn, but the climate in the Windsor Kingdom was humid, and the newspaper placed outside the house would be damp for a while, and if you want to read, you must use an iron to burn it, so as to have a good reading experience.

Usually when Mrs. Cecil got up to make breakfast, she would help Mavi iron the newspaper so that when Mavi had breakfast, she could read the news.

Today is an exception, Ma Wei's first meal was not eaten until noon, and the breakfast link was directly omitted.

155 South Street?

Ma Wei held the arm of the black tea for a moment, thinking to himself, isn't this the address of Madame Maggie's house?

Doesn't she have tenants in her house?

Just as he was thinking this, the bell hanging in the church was suddenly ringing.

"Someone's coming, I'll go out and have a look."

Putting down the newspaper, Mavi went to the church and saw an acquaintance in a gray tweed coat.

"Mr. Jacob?"

"Priest!"

After a few days, Jacob Valentine lost some weight, and his clothes that didn't fit well were even more ill-fitting, hanging on his body like a flag wrapped around a long pole, which would fall down at any moment.

The mental outlook can only be described in one bad word.

He coughed a few times, hurried up to Mavi, and said, "Priest, that woman Maggie Chrissy doesn't approve of my relationship with Miss Maggie, so I can only come to you for help." ”
