Chapter 17: A Lot of Little Lori
(Selling cute is good for health, collecting Jun Ticket Jun Click Jun, I miss you so much...... Also, what do you think about the new cover)
Putting aside the noise and chaos that continued in the port, after leaving the port, Lin Taiping and the bullbears rented a few horse-drawn carriages and hurried to Christine's suburban residence.
An hour later, carrying large bags of gifts, they finally arrived at their destination, Lin Taiping stood in the desolate suburbs, looking at the broken and sloping three-story building in front of him: "Christine, this is where you live?"
As expected, Christine's home is not wealthy, and the peeling paint on the walls is enough to show that it is a qiē, but although it looks very shabby, the living room still looks clean, comfortable and warm, and a pot of daffodils on the wooden table adds a bit of spring to this cold winter.
"Can you eat this thing?" Tulu stared at the pot of daffodils very much, but looked around with curiosity, "By the way, who is that, didn't you say that you have thirteen sisters, why didn't I see any of them?"
"They're hiding upstairs and peeking, probably scared by you. Christine looked up with a smile and beckoned to the attic above, "Alice, Vivien, come out, these uncles are my friends, and they won't hurt you...... Boss, are you ready?"
Lin Taiping and Tulu glanced at each other, and suddenly had a very bad premonition, and at the moment when they looked up at the attic, they suddenly gasped in unison, and shouted with horror on their faces: "No!"
It's too late, with the sound of footsteps like drums, a large group of little Lori in white nightdresses, flushed and cheered excitedly and rushed down the stairs, instantly flooding the entire living room, and then ...... Well, then, poor Lin Taiping and the bull-headed people were completely tragic.
Probably believing in my sister's words, these little Loli are not afraid of the minotaur at all, some hold Tulu's thigh and die, some climb on Tulu's back and shout to drive, some desperately pull Tulu's horns, and even the minotaurs behind are not spared, all of them have become their new toys.
As for Lin Taiping, poor Lin Taiping, he is now surrounded by five or six little Lori, twittering and publishing all kinds of questions, among which the cutest blonde little Lori Vivian kept pulling his trouser legs, opened his big black and white eyes, and asked in a milky voice: "Uncle, why does my sister call you boss, are you very old?"
Help! Help, help! Lin Taiping burst into tears, especially when he heard the uncle's title, he was even more sad and angry, and now he finally realized that no matter how cute the little Lori was, once the quantity reached a qualitative change, it would become so terrible.
"Boss, you're so self-conscious, it looks like Vivien likes you a lot. Christine looked at him sympathetically, then turned her head gloatingly, and began to take out one thing after another from the sack, as if Santa Claus were handing out presents.
"Well, let me see, Nancy, this is the teething biscuit I bought for you, open your mouth obediently, let me see how many teeth you have now, say ah......"
"Alice, I have prepared a large piece of ham meat for you, how about I make you ham fried rice tonight, add two eggs, and a small cake after the meal, are you satisfied?"
"By the way, Vivien, this is your favorite doll, play with it, listen, don't roast it on the fire again, it's not a fire magician, no, it can't be put in water. ”
In this way, the beautiful lady who used to be fierce and cruel in the past now blooms with a gentle smile, talks to each sister very patiently, and touches their little heads from time to time, helps tidy up their messy clothes, and breastfeeds the youngest children...... Well, don't get me wrong, it's milk.
Lin Taiping hugged Vivian, who was still asking questions, and looked helplessly beside him, he suddenly felt that he admired Christine very much, while running and fighting for her livelihood, she also had to take care of a large group of ignorant sisters, this kind of life couldn't go on for a day, but Christine actually lived for several years, and it seemed that it would continue.
Think about it, the once carefree aristocratic girl, after the upheaval of the family, did not fall vulnerable and helpless, but gave up the leisurely afternoon tea and dance, untied the gorgeous clothes and beautiful jewelry, and began to fight hard to support a large family like the most ordinary low-level servant woman, and even risked life and death.
However, she really did a good job, even the most critical person must admit this, I don't know why, at this moment, in the midst of such chaos and noise, Lin Taiping suddenly felt that there was a very warm and warm family feeling, and this qiē seemed to be the change brought about by Christine?
"Perhaps, I should consider giving her a raise......" Sighing softly, he couldn't help but look up at Christine, who was still busy-
Under the dim yellow candlelight, she gently pulled the golden hair on her sideburns, her white cheeks looked so beautiful, full of a satisfied smile from the heart, for a few seconds, Lin Taiping even felt as if she saw the white wings behind her and the warm circle of light above her head......
But soon, the truth told him that everything just now was an illusion, because after Christine finished distributing the gifts, she immediately ran away very irresponsibly: "Boss, please take care of them, I'll go to cook dinner now, what do you want to eat?"
Lin Taiping stumbled suddenly, and almost fell directly to the ground, woo woo woo woo, I really made a big mistake, where is this royal sister an angel, she is a devil at all, and she is the kind of big devil who pretends to be an angel.
But the problem is that whether he wants it or not, Christine has already flashed directly, so a few seconds later, the attention of more than a dozen little Loli was immediately focused on him, and what was even more shameless was that Tulu and they actually slipped away without righteousness.
What can you say? Being stared at by more than a dozen pairs of big watery eyes, Lin Taiping couldn't help but shudder, and after hesitating and struggling for a long time, he could only tremble and say: "What, how about I tell you a story - a long, long time ago, in the distant kingdom of Oz, there was a beautiful and kind princess ......."
"Princesses again?" more than a dozen little Lori shook their heads in disappointment, and Vivian even bit her thumb and complained, "Uncle, we've heard a lot of princess stories, are there any we haven't heard?"
"Well, a long, long time ago, in the distant kingdom of Oz, there was a princess who was as fat as a pig......"
"Protest, uncle, how can a princess be as fat as a pig?"
"Well, a long, long time ago, in the distant kingdom of Oz, there was a princess without clothes......"
In this way, after telling the story to the little Loli for two full hours, Lin Taiping swore to the sky exhausted that if any bastard dared to say to himself in the future that Little Lori was the cutest creature in the world, he would definitely pick up the iron pot and rush over and smash that guy directly into a potato cake.
Think about it, when a dozen little loli are chattering around you, and every second seven or eight hands are raised to ask questions, and they are asking strange questions like "why didn't Snow White smash the magic mirror", you can know how difficult the experience can be.
Therefore, two hours later, when Christine prepared a steaming meal, Lin Taiping was already foaming at the mouth on all fours, which made him run away immediately after eating, breaking through the encirclement and interception of the little Lori, and rushed directly into the bedroom and jumped on the soft big bed.
But the problem is that before he could fall asleep, with the sound of hurried footsteps, the closed door was suddenly kicked open!
This was Lin Taiping's first reaction, but to his surprise, it was not the group of terrible little Loli who rushed in, but Mr. Cohen, whose face was red and trembling, and who looked like he would have a high blood pressure attack at any time: "Lin! Dear Lin, guess how many orders we received tonight?"
"Ann, Ann, take it easy. Lin Taiping hurriedly handed over a glass of water, lest this Mr. Cohen be overly excited and spontaneously combust directly: "Let me guess, is it an order for thirty totem tattoos, or forty?"
"No, it's a whole hundred and twenty pieces!" Mr. Cohen screamed exaggeratedly, looking at Lin Taiping's eyes, as if he was looking at the messenger of the God of Wealth, "My God, one hundred and twenty totem orders represent twelve thousand gold coins, this time we are going to make a fortune, a fortune." ”
Well, it's no wonder that Mr. Cohen is so ecstatic, you must know that several of his shops, the profit of the whole year last year was only a few thousand gold coins, but this mysterious visitor from the East in front of him only spent one night, and it only took one night to earn more than 10,000 gold coins, which is simply more cost-effective than robbing a bank.
"Well, I have to warn you, it's not just one night. Lin Taiping coughed lightly a few times, and couldn't help but splash a basin of cold water, "We are only receiving orders now, and we haven't made totems yet, and Tulu They can only complete two or three tattoos a day, so ...... I think you can talk to them and try to make them more productive. ”
That's right! Mr. Cohen's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed out frantically, but just before rushing down the stairs, he suddenly turned his head and asked very seriously: "Dear Lin, I don't doubt your character, but I remember that you said that I would get five percent of the profit as a reward, right?" ”
"Of course. Lin Taiping smiled and nodded, and did not forget to remind, "In addition, I will put more effort into holding a banquet and find a way to invite those nobles and celebrities over, compared to these ordinary totem tattoos that make a name for themselves, what we prepare for those nobles and celebrities is the real profiteering." ”
That's right, that's right, Mr. Cohen nodded desperately, and then jumped almost straight down from the second floor, and after a few minutes, his voice was heard in the courtyard, so enthusiastic that it could melt the ice and snow.
"Dear Turu, dear Miss Leah, you look so good today, especially the pair of horns...... That, can we talk about making zuò totem tattoos, what, you still have to eat and sleep, don't you joke, don't you think, compared to the boring thing of sleeping, earning gold coins is the meaning of life?"
Very good and powerful, Lin Taiping couldn't help but shudder when he heard this conversation upstairs, he suddenly had a premonition, maybe from this moment on, the miserable life of the Minotaur tribe was about to begin...... Uh, well, why did I suddenly think of Foxconn?
