Chapter 368: Eat with your face
Early in the morning, Jiang Chanji returned to the rental apartment building with a basin filled with unused disposable toiletries.
He took advantage of the fact that the public bath had just opened in the morning and slipped in to take a hot bath, there was no one in the bathhouse at that time, and after washing, he was comfortable, and the accumulated fatigue of his body was also swept away, and by the way, he handed over the dirty clothes he had changed to Aunt Wenhua to wash on his behalf.
In fact, he chooses to rinse his body with cold water in the rental house more often, anyway, the weather is warm, and he is not afraid of the cold, but the effect of hot water on eliminating fatigue is still unique.
However, as soon as he walked into the hallway, he saw an unbelievable scene.
"Ron, are you up, do you want to come for breakfast?" asked the landlady softly as she knocked on Ron's door.
Jiang Chanji glanced into the administrator's room.
What's the situation?
On the dining table are two large plates, each with toasted bread slices, smoked ham, grilled mushrooms, fried bacon arranged in a circle, two poached eggs in the middle, coffee and orange juice next to the plate, and complete with knives and forks.
Who makes this authentic Western-style breakfast? Could it be the landlady who makes egg fried rice with lard every day?
Must have been possessed!
Jiang Chanji couldn't stop drooling, especially the bacon with the skin browned, he seemed to be able to imagine the picture of the oil overflowing from between his teeth after taking a bite.
The door to the room opened, and Ron poked his head out in a daze, apparently undressed.
"Good morning, Ron, get dressed and have breakfast, and get a taste of my craft. The landlady said, tilting her head sideways to look through the crack in the door, like a male student passing by the door of the girls' dormitory.
"Good morning. Ron scratched his hair, "Is breakfast still served here?" I thought I would have to take care of my own meals......
"This is a special treat for our valued guests, not only for breakfast, but also for lunch and dinner!" said the landlord smiled.
"Great, I'm still worried about how to solve the problem of three meals a day, and I'll come out when I'm ready. Ron said.
"It's okay if you don't have to wear it...... Ah, I'm kidding!
When Ron closed the door, the landlord's aunt seemed to notice Jiang Chanji's peeping, and her face turned cold.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Chanji: "...... Didn't look at anything. ”
The protest is probably ineffective, it will only be counterproductive, so just don't see it, anyway, he has lived here for so long, he has never heard of serving breakfast, and the other residents in the building have not heard of it, and he has deliberately changed to a Western-style breakfast, and social injustice is vividly reflected here!
The landlord's aunt saw the basin he was carrying, knew that he had gone out to take a bath and came back, and snorted and said: "Look at your disgraced appearance, you probably went out to cause trouble again, I don't care what you do, but don't forget, you are different from them, you still owe me rent and late fees!"
"Well, of course it's impossible to forget, with a little grace, I'm sure I'll be able to pay it back. He laughed.
Originally, selling stockings last time was the best opportunity to repay the money, but unfortunately...... Since No. 33 lived next door to him, it had been difficult to sneak out quietly, and now there were two more nuns, one of whom had an outrageous sense of hearing, and he suspected that he could be heard by her even if he farted in the house, and it was even more difficult to sneak out again.
I don't know how long the sisters are going to live here, when he came up with the idea to let Arabella wake up Rafay, but he didn't expect them to choose to live in this dilapidated apartment, so wouldn't Rafite not recover most of his sanity for a day, and Arabella wouldn't leave for a day?
God knows how long it will take for Rafe to regain his senses, and if he guesses wrong, Rafe will not be able to regain his sanity for the rest of his life, will Arabella have to live here for the rest of his life?
Arabella looks weak, but a clergyman like her, once she regards something as a God-given mission, even if it takes decades, it may not be a problem, anyway, the clergy do not produce, and their own believers donate money and materials.
Speaking of which, Jiang Chanji thought that he really couldn't become a clergyman, and with the current level of clergy being so rich, maybe he would not only be able to pay off the rent and late fees, but even make a fortune!
No, let's talk to the school, it is better to ask the school to vacate a dormitory for the sisters to live in, a dormitory is just for two people, it is safe and comfortable, and it can liberate him.
The landlady had already heard the calluses in her ears when she heard his "grace", and she didn't believe it at all, so she pointed in the direction of the school and said, "You have to go to school, right? Hurry up, don't get in the way here! Hurry up! Don't interfere with me and Ron for breakfast!"
Jiang Chanji reluctantly went upstairs, it seems that if he hadn't brought Ron, a middle-aged woman's friend, back, he would definitely have been scolded a few more times, you must know that the landlord's aunt can scold people for half an hour without repeating the same, which is still the premise of mistaking him for a girl and reining in.
Walking to the door, he happened to meet Catherine coming out of 301.
"Shower so early?" Catherine was a little surprised, because they had all gone to take a shower last night, otherwise it would be difficult for them to sleep with smoke and mud.
"Get used to it. Jiang Chanji snorted perfunctorily, and he glanced at Chen Yiyi's room.
After coming back yesterday, everyone was very tired, and the girls went to take a shower together, and he didn't go to bed under the excuse that he was too tired, so I don't know what the girls said in the bathhouse, why Catherine came out of Chen Yiyi's room, it stands to reason that Catherine is more familiar with No. 33 at most.
"Oh, Yiyi helped me mend my nun clothes. Catherine guessed his doubts, and pulled the hem of the nun's dress slightly to the left and right, revealing the patches inside.
As a representative of the monastery, she really can't wear civilian clothes to go to Momiji Academy, this nun dress is worn out with several holes, and her skirt is torn a few times, so wearing it into Momiji Academy like this will make other students misunderstand that she is from a beggar gang......
Although there are churches in the local area, the nun clothes in the monastery are very unique, and you can't just borrow one or buy an ordinary nun dress to fill the number, and then what's the matter with the nun dress you bought?
Arabella is ingenious and virtuous, but she is blind after all, and this kind of thing is too difficult for her, and No. 33's personality is relatively informal, but Chen Yiyi offered to help Catherine sew it up.
Before, because her parents turned a blind eye to her, she hadn't bought her new clothes for a long time, Chen Yiyi could only change her clothes by herself, and she could only sew and mend her clothes when they were torn, and it was really embarrassing to wear clothes with patches to school at first, but soon she found that her classmates and teachers would hardly pay attention to her, so it didn't matter if she wore them with or without patches, but because of this, she mastered the craft of sewing.
She had noticed yesterday that Catherine was always adjusting the position of her skirt, consciously or unconsciously, to cover up the hole, so when she returned to the apartment after taking a shower, she told Catherine that if she didn't mind, take off her nun dress and leave it on her side, and she would try to sew it up.
Catherine's personality is also relatively rough, second only to Li Muqin among the girls Jiang Chanji knows, if you count the landlord's aunt...... You'll have to be third, so it's impossible to mend clothes.
Since there was no other way, Catherine had to ask Chen Yiyi for help, thinking that she could make do with the sewing, but just now she went to Chen Yiyi's room to pick up the clothes, and found that the sewing was quite good, using black cloth to fill the holes, the stitches were thin and dense, as long as she didn't stare at it deliberately, it was really not easy to see, and the torn skirt was also sewn.
Wearing a nun with patches does not make Catherine's face gloomy, because although the monastery is not bad for money, it has always advocated puritude and does not pay attention to external material comforts, and it is common for sisters to wear clothes with patches, and Catherine also has several nun clothes with patches, which are still in good condition and are specially changed for the purpose of this envoy mission.
Jiang Chanji looked at it slightly, nodded and said, "The sewing is good." ”
"yes, that's a great help. Catherine sighed.
Jiang Chanji knew why she sighed, she didn't have to think too much about it for the time being when she was trapped in the forest, and now that she had returned to the civilized world, she had to face the reality of the problem - to send the news of the death of the four sisters back to the hermitage.
No one wants to be responsible for reporting the funeral, but someone has to do it.
Catherine decided to wait until today to discuss the next matters with the Momiji Academy, and then call back, she would call the nearest monastery at the foot of Mount Aare, where the sisters were already waiting for news from Arabella, but they were waiting for bad news, and they didn't know what the patriarch would do.
Jiang Chanji understood her mood very well, and changed the topic and said, "Let's go have some breakfast first, can you come together?"
"If you don't bother. Catherine nodded.
"There's nothing to bother about, it's just a meal at a classmate's and neighbor's house, and even the two of you don't eat as much as she eats alone. No. 33 walked out of 303, "Anyway, the bean paste bun is for me, don't you want to grab it! If it weren't for coming back to eat my bean paste bun, maybe I would have parted ways with you in the forest!"
Jiang Chanji won't grab the bean paste bun, isn't the meat more fragrant?
Chen Yiyi also came out, she looked a little sleepy, she should have stayed up late because of sewing clothes, she knew that Catherine was going to meet the head of the academy, so she sewed very carefully.
Arabella was refreshed, her face was covered with a faint divine luster, and she felt a strong sense of need, because she suddenly found that Rafe was very much like a victim possessed by demons, and the process of awakening Rafa's mind was tantamount to exorcism, wasn't this the mission of these nuns?
Jiang Chanji entered the house and put down the basin, locked the door and went downstairs with everyone, although there was nothing to steal in his house, and the tattered ones may not be worth it.
Coming downstairs, Arabella sniffed and exclaimed, "It's so fragrant, are you eating here?"
Jiang Chanji: "......"
Everyone saw the landlord and Ron sitting opposite each other in the administrator, talking and laughing with knives and forks, it was simply happy, although the landlord's English accent was very strong, and Ron was not from a real English-speaking country, and the two of them felt like chickens and ducks.
The aroma of smoked sausages and fried bacon is mixed with the strong flavor of coffee, and the smell is appetizing.
The most annoying thing for Jiang Chan was that even Ron's dog, Gavin, stayed at the dining table, munching on the sausage that belonged to him!
You must know that Jiang Chanji has lived in the apartment for so long that he has never even eaten a mouthful of food from the landlord's aunt!
What is this? Lovers and dogs?
Ron noticed them coming downstairs and greeted them warmly, "Hey, everyone, come for breakfast! The landlord here is very friendly and offers free ......"
"No!" the landlord crossed her hands in front of her chest in a X shape, "only one person will be served breakfast every day, everyone please have an early tomorrow!"
Ron was dumbfounded, as an adult man, even if he doesn't consider the ladies first, he must respect the old and love the young, and now that he has finished breakfast, the ladies are still hungry, which is unreasonable.
But don't really say it, Ron shaved his beard and cut his unkempt hair short, he is much more energetic than before, and he does look a little bit like a movie star, maybe the landlord aunt is just obsessed with that movie star, so it's wrong.
Jiang Chanji knew very well that even if they came early tomorrow, the landlord and aunt would come up with other reasons, anyway, this meal did not belong to them, it was not that the landlord and aunt were missing these few dollars, but that they didn't want them to be light bulbs.
"Ahem, no, let's go to my classmate's house for breakfast, which is the operator of the bathhouse where you went to take a bath yesterday, and by the way, I will introduce my classmate to you. Jiang Chanji explained to Arabella.
When they went to take a shower last night, Zixuan's father was already in charge of the store, so they didn't see Aunt Wenhua and Zixuan, but Aunt Wenhua must have known that they were back, and there were two new guests, so they should prepare more breakfast for them.
"Oh. Arabella nodded and said happily: "That's great, the uncle who watched the shop last night was very enthusiastic, confiscated our money and let us go in to take a bath, it turned out that Chanji's classmate was running the bathhouse, and I should go to thank you today." ”
"Well, that's right, let's go, get out of this sad place quickly. Jiang Chanji greeted.
In this cold world, only Aunt Wenhua's breakfast can warm his wounded heart.
“?”
The two nuns couldn't understand what he was saying, and although No. 33 and Chen Yiyi could roughly guess, they didn't bother to say it.
Until they left the entrance of the building, Jiang Chanji heard the landlady say enthusiastically: "Have you eaten enough? Do you want to have some more?"
Ron didn't understand what was going on, didn't he say that he would only prepare breakfast for one person?
Jiang Chanji felt that Ron didn't have to go back to the West, so why should he be a hunter who slept in the open and had a meal but didn't have a meal? Isn't it nice to be honest here?
Isn't this the ultimate dream of all men – to eat with their faces?
