Chapter 164: Windfall from the Sky
Delhi Cafe on the corner
Inside the box
"Walter? Isn't it, you two don't have any jewelry that you can be a little bit of? Jewelry? There should always be a pocket watch. ”
..
Brother Sherlock obviously hasn't gotten to the level where he can look at people and say exactly what he's done in a week, or has he made a small mistake?
Let's not talk about Muguang, I look at Princess Anne next to me normally, the temperament that circulates on her body, and the slight marks left by her often jewelry and jewelry, at first glance, she is either rich or noble, and it is impossible not to have some private money.
After listening to Mu Guang's words, Brother Sherlock carefully looked up and down again at the expensive suit that Lexington customized for Mu Guang, and looked at Mu Guang's empty hands as he took out his pocket, and suddenly wondered.
..
Normally, even if you lose your luggage, you should always have a wallet and a personal pocket watch that everyone must have in this era.
In fact, Muguang and Anne's outfits seem a little out of place in this world.
However, Sherlock didn't think about visitors from other worlds, but thought it was the latest style to become popular in places like the United States.
But who called Muguang and the others in their special situation, looking at it this way, I don't blame Brother Sherlock, who would have thought that there would be people who went out without a pocket watch~
...
“.. I thought you could see everything. ”
Mu Guang was in a slightly better mood, smiled and made a small sneer that the two people next to him didn't understand, while playing with the penny coin in his hand, bounced high and just landed on the back of his hand, and then his right hand moved slightly, and the coin on the back of his hand was on the tip of his middle finger!
This wonderful technique attracted the attention of Princess Anne next to her, but it was only a small way to control the body.
"Money is not an issue, give me one night, and then tell me the location of your most rampant gangster family, and I will be able to buy that house tomorrow."
...
Why choose Gangster?
said that Muguang could also rob Queen Victoria, but he was a robber anyway.
However, this is too eye-catching, and it is difficult to make a move, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble, Mu Guang feels that before the power of the dark world is restored, it is better not to be so prodigal.
Therefore, if you want a lot of cash, you still have to go to a gangster casino or bar, if it is a few thousand, or nearly ten thousand pounds, it should still be possible, which is enough for Muguang and Anne to be comfortable here for a while.
..
"Making money from the gangsters... I don't doubt your strength, but you'd better be careful, don't get targeted by those guys, oh yes, I don't know the name of my future roommate yet... If you don't mind? ”
After hearing Mu Guang's somewhat arrogant words, Sherlock nodded approvingly, as if he had expected the result.
"Short-term roommates!"
Mu Guang reiterated emphatically, and then with a "bang", his fingertips catapulted, turning the coin directly into a deadly weapon!
Burst through the air, made a loud explosion, and then slammed into the solid wood wall next to him, and then solemnly stretched out his hand to shake Sherlock's brother:
"Trust me, Holmes, you'll have a good assistant, and now it's okay to call me Muguang, and the one next to me is. Annie. ”
"Hello, Mr. Holmes ~ Nice to meet you.."
Looking at Anne's smiling and outstretched little hand, Brother Sherlock seemed to be a little bit of a phobia, and it took a long time to shake it gently, or pinch it.
That's it... Just like everyone else handed things directly to Tony, his face was full of reluctance, and he muttered:
"The hand is very very well maintained, the lady is lubricated and soft~ reminds me of the greased pigskin I used for my experiments.."
...
Anne's expression was a little stiff, and she didn't know what to say, and her good upbringing made it impossible for her to find a proper swear word to greet Brother Sherlock's family.
Mu Guang rolled his eyes violently, this guy.. Is he deliberately disgusting people?
Or just speak so straight..
Anne was obviously a little uncomfortable, with some worries, she came to Mu Guang, hung her head and whispered embarrassedly: "Mr. Mu Guang, did I do something bad?" ”
"It's okay, it's Mr. Holmes who is a little sick." Mu Guang backhanded, and out of nowhere he found a penny, and continued to play as if nothing had happened.
"Then we're going to that... Live.."
"Baker Street, Miss Anne~ You speak in a very small voice, but I'm gifted~"
Brother Sherlock took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then snapped it shut again, shook his head a little uncomfortably, and raised a finger and said:
"Well, 221b Baker Street, I've been to see it, and the landlord, Mrs. Hudson, is a very nice widow... I mean she's hardworking, competent, and empathetic. If you could, why don't you leave now, I think I can help you pay a week's rent first, how about that? ”
...
"Fack.. Industrious, capable... Empathetic? ”
Although Mu Guang knew what Holmes meant, such words inevitably made his 'dirty' brain misunderstand something.
"Okay, but why don't you tell me how much the rent is?"
Mu Guang spread his hands and said, the money problem that ordinary people are worried about is not a problem for Chaofan at all, and Mu Guang has dozens of ways to get a lot of money.
"Forty-five shillings plus sixpence a week, that's two pounds and five shillings and sixpence."
Sherlock Holmes accurately reported the numbers, and took a sip of the coffee that no one was drinking, then frowned, and spit out the bitter coffee again:
"Oh, this café looks like it's going to be on my blacklist, it's so bad.... I think Mrs. Hudson's craftsmanship must be better than this shop."
"By the way, the forty-five shillings also include afternoon tea, lunch and dinner, and the cost of cleaning up the house."
...
Well, this figure has no concept at all for Mu Guang, who does not understand the price of goods and the purchasing power of the pound at this time.
But now Britain is on the gold standard, or is it the silver standard? Anyway, money and gold are equal, and a pound is worth a lot of money.
On closer examination, in the Victorian era, in the late nineteenth century, the wages of male workers in London were generally around £100 to £200.
So the price of two pounds and five shillings a week, nine pounds a month, is indeed very expensive, you must know that the workers at the bottom, even a lot of income hovers between thirty and forty, and it is not enough to live here for four months.
...
It turns out that staying too long on this side close to the East End is not a good idea.
When Muguang and Anne walked out, they were targeted by several young men with gentleman's sticks in their hands and dressed like dogs.
One by one is wearing a tuxedo, as if it is an important banquet, with single-framed eyes on his face, and his small boots are shiny, just like an orangutan in estrus.
As soon as I saw Princess Anne, who was like a little white flower, my heart was about to melt for her.
The result is... As soon as Mu Guang stepped out of the door of the café, a white glove was thrown in front of him.
