No. 221 Yanan Street grandly welcomes guests. Faust cooked a sumptuous meal and welcomed Shang Boliang's visit.

Fresh and fragrant sausages have always been Miss Lilulu's favorite;

Bright red and shelled lobsters, brightly colored prawns, sea urchins with thorns on the outside and delicate and smooth mouths on the inside, and clams that are highly praised by southerners and think they are more fragrant and delicious than oysters.

The specialty of the small seaside town is seafood. Countless foods are caught from the beach. How much does it cost to add up to the delicious foods called "sea fruit" by those thankful fishermen?

In one meal, half of the remittance slip sent by Lieutenant Jiabao was used up.

Lilulu's eyes were filled with tears, and she calculated the expenses for this month with heartache. Unfortunately, due to her arithmetic ability, she could not figure out a result after calculating for a long time.

Faust also bought some fruits, including local oranges, but more are pineapple, pomegranate and peaches that are available in other provinces.

"Grand welcome, grand welcome. Mr. Shang Boliang, I hope you will enjoy this lunch."

The newly bought plate was used on the table and sliced ​​ham meat and a lamb leg with mustard sauce. The food was too rich and the three of them couldn't finish it.

So Faust also invited Scarlett and Garbida to have dinner.

Shang Boliang smiled reservedly: "It seems that I have really disturbed Mr. Faust."

Like Shang Boliang, Faust was both a top-notch and prominent man in the empire, so he naturally knew that such a feast was nothing in the eyes of others.

But Shang Boliang understood Faust's current economic situation and said frankly:

"You don't have to do this, just do this. When I leave Crown Town, I will reimburse you for Your Highness Jiabao."

Faust was shamelessly happy: "Okay, that would be even better!"

The purpose of Shang Boliang coming to Yachao Town was to contact and understand Faust on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to talk about cooperation in the development of the power industry.

Although Faust had "submitted the country" the manuscript of Siemens, Shang Boliang had read the notes of Faust attached to the manuscript.

He believes that Faust has a very far-reaching view of the future development direction of the power industry and is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Shang Boliang felt that Faust's vision was more valuable than Siemens' manuscripts.

Mr. Shang Boliang wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. He had a good impression of talented people, and of course he intended to make friends with talents like Faust.

Two other students who were sitting and making a living—

Gan Bida is a middle-class citizen family and usually has a rare opportunity to have such a big meal.

A meal that was ordinary in the eyes of Faust and Shang Boliang was a rare delicacy in the eyes of Gan Bida.

And Scarlett.

Her family was one of the ancient nobles of the Empire. Although the title was only a lower "Imperial Baron", she was also in a noble position.

Faust's cooking skills and the ingredients he bought can only be considered ok, but it is far from the point where Scarlett's index finger is striking.

Scarlett Hawk was bored, she had just received her latest salary for a church organ job.

Now I am all about those bills, and I can't listen to Faust and Shang Boliang praising each other disgustingly.

How to spend this salary?

Scarlett's father loved her very much, and his request for her was obedient and spoiled to the point of being arrogant.

What Scarlett wanted, at least in small towns like Jaw Chou Town, and in medium-rich provinces like North Coast Autonomous Prefecture, with her father's financial resources, there was almost nothing that she could not buy.

She has no idea about money, but now she feels that the few thin bills in her pocket are so heavy and precious.

Because of helping to introduce the work, Scarlett even felt that Faust's disgusting face became much more beautiful - although Faust was annoying, he was indeed not bad-looking.

After dinner, Faust prepared afternoon tea and snacks to entertain Mr. Shang Boliang.

His appearance of terrifying made Scarlett despise him again.

However, compared with Gan Bida's starving look, Faust is quite elegant.

Scarlett Hau is not interested in afternoon tea and has no good feelings for Mr. Shang Boliang, the young master from the imperial capital.

She found a reason to leave No. 221 Yanan Street. Only when she was sent outside the door by Lilulu, did she remember the incident of her provoking Maolilulu before.

I warned myself that I must not make this little maid angry in the future.

The sky was foggy, and the sun was like a piece of turbid reflective glass hidden behind the thin clouds, and the green trees and grasslands and the blue coastal area were lifeless.

Summer is coming to an end.

Everything was silent, there were no ships making loud noises, no rattles, no sounds from afar, and occasionally the streams flowing through Jay Chou Town made a sensation.

When Scarlett passed by a grocery store, she thought that her father's birthday seemed to be on these two days.

Since her mother passed away and a new stepmother came to her family, Scarlett Hawk's temper has become increasingly irritable and her relationship with her father has become increasingly worse.

She walked into the grocery store and used the salary given by Faust to buy a beautiful straw hat as her father's birthday gift.

"I'm a little irritable...it's my fault."

Working in the church seems to have slightly changed Scarlett's attitude towards life.

She walked home - Scarlett's father bought a mansion in Yachao Town for her studies.

The mansion is large, with specialized housekeepers, chefs and maids, but these people are all confidants of Scarlett Hawk's stepmother and have a bad relationship with her.

She opened the door and saw no father or stepmother in the luxurious living room, only the maid was mopping the floor.

"Enya, where have my dad and aunt gone?"

Enya, a maid from Scarlett's mansion, put down the cleaning tools in her hand and replied: "Miss, my wife took the master to the capital of the autonomous prefecture to have fun. Don't you know? Today is the master's birthday."

Scarlett put his straw hat on the table in disappointment. Did they just leave?

The capital of the autonomous prefecture is indeed much better than Yachao Town. If you are smarter, you might be able to go to the capital of the autonomous prefecture to go to school without going to a small place like Yachao Town.

Scarlett Hau has no friends in Yachao Town and State Normal University. She only regards Gan Bida as a follower.

"Enya, I'm not having supper at home."

"Where are you going to?"

"I'm going to church...well, I'm going to Faust's house for supper. Enya told the chef not to prepare my supper."

"Okay, Miss."

Scarlett left her straw hat on the table, she opened the door and walked out a little weakly.

Then--

Scarlett disappeared.

To be precise - it was missing.
