Chapter 43 Generous donations

Just relying on Miss Nightingale's help cannot completely solve Lilulu's academic problems.

After returning home, Faust went to cook for Lilulu first. The maid's cooking skills were actually very good, but Faust couldn't help but itchy when he saw such rich ingredients.

Besides, he also wanted to try the kitchen at No. 221 Yanan Street and see how this extremely cost-effective "haunted house" is in addition to living.

There is a fireplace made of dark brown bricks in the hall on the first floor. The cold winter is not yet here, and the fireplace is empty, leaving only a pile of ashes.

Faust sent Lilulu to clean the fireplace again, which made her face full of dust and complain: "Young master can only use people!"

Faust held a meat-cutting knife in his hand and waved it several times to scare the little maid.

Miss Nightingale leaning against the door was thin and slender, as if a slender willow tree was hanging there.

She covered her mouth lightly with the back of her hand and made a silver bell-like laugh, which made Lilulu's heart rippling and sway.

Miss Lilulu was particularly envious of the girl's laughter like a silver bell. When she was very happy, she was always mocked by Master Faust for the sound of boiling a kettle.

Puchi, Puchi, he was angry outside, and he didn't look like a girl at all.

Faust once studied Lilulu's mouth shape and teeth very seriously, and finally concluded:

"There are no gaps in the teeth, and the mouth and lips are also very healthy. It seems that Miss Lilulu's silly smile can only be attributed to the spirit."

No. 221 Yanan Street has two floors, with bedrooms on the second floor, kitchen and living room on the first floor, dining room adjacent to the kitchen, and separated from the living room by a fireplace.

The two couches are randomly placed in the center of the living room. The furniture is not of high quality and the wood they are selected is also undustable pine.

But as far as the current rental level is concerned, this small western-style building is still the most cost-effective.

Miss Nightingale lives next to Faust, several windows apart.

She is a cousin of the Maguire family. She is over thirty years old and has not been married like Miss Maguire. She still lives alone and has a golden shorthair cat named "Marrior" in the house.

The noble families of the empire generally do not raise cats often, but prefer to raise hunting dogs. Raising cats is still a new trend that has been passed down from the Allies in recent years.

After all, the imperial noble class, generally speaking, was dominated by the martial military nobles.

One of their major social activities is to hunt in large estates in the east, and hunting dogs are indeed more useful than pet cats.

The elite education of the Faust family pays great attention to the teaching of animal and plant genealogy.

So when Faust saw the "marshal", he concluded that it was not necessarily a golden shorthair cat, but more likely it was just an ordinary medium-haired Jinjira.

In terms of price, the price of a gold gradual layer is about twenty marks, and a Jinjira may not even be one mark.

The gap between cats is sometimes larger than the gap between people.

But if you think about it carefully, twenty marks are enough for Faust’s two-year rent in Yanan Street.

In terms of poverty, Faust himself is even poorer.

Miss Nightingale loved the "marshal" very much because it was a gift from one of her respectable friends.

"Miss Nightingale, come in and sit down. I'll prepare dinner! I'll ask Miss Nightingale to introduce more about the matters in Crown Nest Town."

The noble class of the empire did not have the tradition of cooking on their own, but Faust liked to cook in person and even felt that he enjoyed it. He prepared a very sumptuous dinner in no time.

"Look, Miss Lilulu, it's true that cooking by yourself is more cost-effective."

Faust did not prepare wine in front of the teacher. He cooked tomato soup, buttered the bread, cut the sausages, and served with the popular sauerkraut sauce in the Kingdom. The taste was much better than the dishes in the workers' restaurant.

Lilulu ate very little, and her performance today was extremely low-key.

She lowered her head gently and asked cowardly: "Is the requirements for the entrance examination very high?"

Faust said while eating, "We have such a high IQ, don't worry."

Lilulu looked at Faust in a squint, carefully enclosing the sliced ​​sausages on her plate with a fork.

"Of course my IQ is high!"

Miss Nightingale asked, "Is it IQ? What is Lilulu's IQ?"

"Uh, one hundred?"

Faust smiled and said, "Is one hundred very high? I must be more than one hundred and ten."

Lilulu blushed: "Then I'm one hundred and twenty!"

Miss Nightingale served soup: "I'm not accurate in IQ testing, I have done it, and the test result was more than 130, but I'm not that smart."

"Miss Nightingale looks very good at studying," said Faust. "Lilulu doesn't know if she can pass the state normal school entrance exam!"

Lilulu was still holding her fingers there, muttering: "One Hundred Three, One Hundred Four, One Hundred Five...Five Hundred, Six Hundred, then I'm six Hundred?"

Even with Miss Nightingale's extra care, Faust had strong doubts about Lilulu's ability to take the exam.

He even worried that even if he helped Miss Lilulu to tutor her hard, he might not be able to pass the entrance exam.

"The money is ready for you... If Miss Lilulu fails the exam, put on a maid outfit and go to work in a reef cafe."

In addition to the money left over from Faust's women's clothing before, there is also a sum of money that Lieutenant Jiabao remitted in the past two days.

The letter from Jiabao Town Post Office with the remittance was included.

In the letter, she said that the draft of Venal Siemens had been handed over to the headquarters of the Defense Suppression Bureau, and it is said that Krupp and Faben Chemistry are interested in this new technology.

However, the imperial government followed Garbo's wishes and decided to directly invest the state to start a state-owned company called Siemens Electric.

This company will retain 10% of its dry shares for Faust and will pay dividends every year, but it will not allow Faust to interfere in the company's specific operations.

The money from the remittance was not only to help the Faust family's life, but also to urge him to send the hidden "key draft" to the headquarters of the Defense Suppression Bureau soon.

Faust can tell from the letter:

Lieutenant Jiabao finally knew that Siemens' draft was of great value, but judging from the fact that she was still generous in giving away 10% of the shares, the Lieutenant also had no idea how much money Siemens Electric would make in the future.

This is a big industry worth at least 10 billion yuan!

"I still have to thank the Second Lieutenant for his generous donation."
