Chapter 214: Cats, Three Mouses, Four Foxes, and Five
"Can't our accountant make his own decisions about discussing with the rats? Jingle Ears and they are also staying in the store, so it's okay to discuss with them...... Why do you have to ask me. ”
Looking at the potion in front of him, which was getting worse and worse, Zheng Qing sighed deeply and gave up the idea of saving himself.
Life is like the herbs boiled in this crucible in front of you, and every wrong step will bring a lot of trouble. For young public-funded students, choosing to open a small shop outside the school seems to be such a wrong move.
Why should you put your own smart investment business when you can save the income you have hunted in the bank for interest? The feeling of doing business is really terrible, and when the freshness is over, your head is full of trouble.
And life's dilemmas are often at such times.
When you get into trouble on the path you've chosen, it's hard to know whether it's right to continue or to abandon the path in time. If the end result of this path is good, then your perseverance will be praised, and if the result of the end of this path is bad, then your abandonment will also be praised.
However, no one can see all the possibilities of the future – neither can the great soothsayer – and people often have to follow their hearts when faced with such a dilemma. It's just that most people will always be brave when they should retreat, give up when they should be brave, hesitate when they should be decisive, and rush through the accelerator when they should slow down.
This is one of the reasons why success has always been a scarce trait and is widely sought after.
After hearing Zheng Qing's complaint, Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes, reached out and picked up the lid of the pot from the test bench, covered it on the mouth of the crucible, and suppressed the increasingly weird colored gases in the pot.
Then he ripped off the big mask on his face, turned his head to look at the young public scholarship student, and said, "Are you kidding?"
Zheng Qing blinked, not knowing why.
"Is the store yours or Fox Five?" Dr. Xiao replied angrily, "I haven't heard of a boss who does business and lets his subordinates make decisions with their ideas...... Streamlining administration and delegating power is not your approach. ”
"The store belongs to everyone, not mine. Zheng Qing immediately corrected the minor fault in Xiao Xiao's words, then touched his nose and suddenly smiled: "Actually, our accountant flew paper cranes for everyone...... After receiving the crane, I have already informed Dingdong Ear, and it said that as long as the funds are in place, there is no problem in hiring some rat helpers temporarily. ”
"Therefore, in the end, this matter has to be decided by the Qingqiu Mansion or the school. After all, we weren't the ones who actually hired rats, we were just a small matchmaking shop. ”
"And ...... Don't call it Fox Five in the future, call it Hank...... Our accountant has his own name outside the Qingqiu Mansion. ”
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and didn't continue to say anything.
But the fat man didn't know what to think of, and became a little angry.
"Not everyone!" the fat man stood aside, waving the glass rod that stirred the potion, and said angrily, "The elder and I didn't receive the fox five...... I mean Hank's paper crane!"
"Even a fox knows how to watch people cook, it's a terrible world. Zhang Jixin also sighed.
Zheng Qing glanced at the crucible in front of the two of them worriedly, and reminded, "Can you two wear masks when you two talk?" Be careful to splash the spittle star into the potion...... If we can't even get a qualified potion out of this circle, Professor Li will really go crazy!"
In the Potions class, it is usually a team of two to prepare a potion.
Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao's group of potions have been successfully ruined by Dr. Xiao's 'new operation', and in their small group, only the crucible in front of Xin Fatzi and Zhang Jixin remains, and the potion looks to be alive.
The fat man muttered something in a low voice, and finally obediently put on his mask.
In this kind of thing, he still knows the severity.
"Having said that, don't you think there are a little too many 'non-traditional wizards' in our shop?" Xiao Xiao suddenly raised his head, looked at Zheng Qing, and asked a little worriedly, "Especially since our shop is still wandering across the bar...... As far as I know, the wandering bar is home to a lot of radical 'traditional wizards' all year round. ”
The so-called 'traditional wizards' in Xiao Xiao's mouth actually refer to human-born wizards like Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao; of course, some 'traditional wizards' will be more extreme, only recognizing members of the human wizard aristocracy as real wizards.
Other races, including vampires, werewolves, foxes, ghosts, and other races that have 'wizard' status in the Witch League's Code, are often regarded as 'magical beings' or, to put it mildly, 'unconventional wizards'.
Because of the many laws and regulations related to racial discrimination, equality of wizards, etc., no one will openly challenge the authority of the Wizarding Code in this regard. But that doesn't mean they won't express their biases through some subtle means.
To use Zheng Qing's familiar example, the distinction between 'traditional wizards' and 'non-traditional wizards' is similar to the distinction between white and black Americans in the sixties and seventies. Legally equal, yes, but in reality, black people need a green book when they travel long distances.
Xiao Xiao is worried about D&K, which is exactly the case.
Because all the members of the Sin Hunting Team spent most of their time in the school, and they couldn't afford to hire real wizards as employees in the store, Zheng Qing chose a compromise after weighing it.
In charge of the ledger was the fox accountant sent by the Qingqiu Mansion, a male fox with a big furry tail, four small mice wearing vests who could talk, led by jingle ears and dingdong ears, and three cats who guarded the 'goods' to prevent the 'caged rats' and 'corpse beetles' from escaping.
One is a large forest cat, the other is a small ragdoll cat, and the other is a kind of yellow civet that only occasionally appears, that is, an old mature cat called 'Brother Huang' by Zheng Qing.
Cats, three mice, four foxes, five.
There is no 'real' wizard.
Perhaps only in this magical world can this fantastic way of opening a store be supported.
Xiao Xiao's worries are not unreasonable, Zheng Qing - or Su Da Beauty - has actually noticed this risk for a long time.
"Well, Hank hung the Qingqiu Mansion sign outside the store, and showed me my identity as a Merlin Medal and a public scholarship student at the front desk...... Anyone with a bit of a brain won't go looking for trouble. Zheng Qing explained vaguely and made a reassuring gesture to the doctor.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Zheng Qing strangely, with a look of uncertainty on his face.
"If necessary, I'll talk to my brother and hang up the Zhang family's sign as well. Zhang Jixin agreed in a rough voice on the side, interrupting the doctor's thoughts.
