Chapter 49: Nancy's Surprise(1/2)
Since her sister found a job, Nancy found that her life suddenly got better.
On the one hand, the expected increase in income means that they finally don’t have to go out of their way to reduce expenses;
On the other hand, my sister brings back a lot of food every day.
This is simply something Nancy can't imagine.
It's not easy to live in the royal capital.
Food costs are particularly high.
Before this, half of their income had to be used to purchase food, and the remaining half had to pay rent, taxes, water bills, medicine, church donations, etc.
Life was tight.
Now it's better. Not only can we save half of our daily food expenses, but the key is that the food supply hasn't dropped yet.
It has only been a week and she already feels fat.
Look, in her food box now, there is a stack of sliced pigeon pie, stewed mushrooms, and toast.
The pigeon pie was brought back by my sister yesterday.
Fully half is left.
It can be seen that my sister's employer, Mr. Langdon, is a very elegant gentleman.
He did not cut the entire round pigeon meat pie into thin pieces. It looked more like dividing a cake, eating half and leaving half, which was clean and pleasing to the eye.
For Mr. Langdon, pigeon pie is his staple food.
But for poor families, pigeon pie is simply the most luxurious side dish.
So my sister cut it into slices like roasted meat and used it as a side dish with bread and oatmeal.
This is the fundamental reason why Nancy can still enjoy it today.
"Nancy, what is this? Frozen minced meat?"
My friend Lillian, who worked the night shift together, came over and asked curiously.
Cut into slices of pigeon meat pie, you can clearly see its components, it looks like frozen minced meat kneaded from a pile of minced meat.
"No, this is pigeon pie!"
"Pigeon meat?"
"Not only that, there's also veal and bacon! Come and try some."
Nancy picked up her fork and gave Lillian a piece of pigeon pie.
Lillian stuffed it into her mouth doubtfully, and the more she chewed, the brighter her eyes became.
The taste created by mixing seven or eight kinds of spices is simply rattling on the poor taste buds.
"Wow, it tastes really good."
"Not bad, I'd like to eat more."
Nancy simply divided half of the pigeon pie over, feeling extremely happy.
Compared with her and her sister's dependence on each other, Lillian's family conditions are very good. In fact, any girl who can afford to attend Tudor Women's Medical College has good family conditions.
Therefore, Lillian had taken care of Nancy a lot before, but Nancy had very little to offer.
Now that I finally have something I can use, I am naturally happy.
"Then give you half of my eggs."
Lillian was not polite either. The two little girls sat in the waiting room and shared with each other.
"Dongdongdong!"
There was a knock on the door.
The two girls looked up and saw a gentleman wearing a Tyrolean suit and a bowler hat standing in front of the door.
Nancy and Lillian quickly put away the food boxes and asked, "Hello, how can I help you?"
The visitor took off his hat and said with a smile: "Do you still recognize me? A beautiful and kind-hearted lady."
Nancy and Lillian looked at each other.
"Nine days ago, I received treatment at your hospital, but the next morning I was in such a panic that I could only pay the bill with a ring!"
"It's you--"
Nancy was so surprised that she covered her mouth and exclaimed.
She never thought that the debtor she had been thinking about would actually come?
What's more, she didn't expect that she wouldn't even recognize her when she was standing in front of her.
In fact, his dress that day was too luxurious compared to today.
"I'm sorry for coming so late. During this period, I have been busy with work and almost forgot about it. Fortunately, the God of Navigation blessed me and made me think of it."
Li Shenzhi looked apologetic.
He really forgot.
After arriving home that day, he was busy buying weapons. After buying the weapons, he met Pine for a visit, and then joined the Sheriff's Department.
A series of events made him put this matter behind him long ago.
It was just the night before yesterday when he was planning to go to the hospital to look for corpse possession experiments that he suddenly remembered this matter.
"It doesn't matter."
Nancy waved her hands, but she screamed in her heart, "You finally remembered."
Do you know how many colleagues made fun of me because of this incident?
It’s just a joke, that’s one-fifth of my salary, and my family almost ran out of food.
"This is my hospitalization fee, and this is my apology gift. I hope you can accept it."
Li Shenzhi placed the wooden box wrapped in cloth on the table, which also contained hospital bills.
"You're too polite, take the gift back!" Nancy looked surprised and was about to return the gift.
"Do you believe in the God of Navigation? Madam!" Li Shenzhi suddenly asked.
"certainly!"
"In this case, please allow me to repent and make up for my mistakes."
Li Shenzhi nodded slightly, then when the little nurse was confused, he put on his bowler hat and turned to leave.
Nancy was stunned and stared blankly at Li Shenzhi's leaving figure.
"Wow! Nancy, this must be a gift from our Lord!"
Lillian exclaimed, looking even more excited than Nancy: "Open it quickly and take a look, what kind of gift is it?"
Nancy bit her lip, opened the cloth, and was stunned by the wooden box packaging that came into view.
"Oh my God! The perfume on the cover of "Girls Magazine"! A small bottle costs 5 pounds. It is said that as long as you rub some on your collar, the fragrance can last for several months!"
Lillian was so excited that she kept talking.
Nancy was dumbfounded. Isn't this too expensive?
…
…
"No matter which world you are in, perfume is a girl killer!"
After leaving Bartholomew Hospital, Li Shenzhi smiled and shook his head at the scene he saw through the maggots, feeling very good.
Because he had found a suitable corpse in the hospital's morgue.
He even controlled maggots to get in.
Now he only needs to wait patiently for the corpse to be buried, and then he can turn into maggots and quietly refine the corpse into a resurrected corpse without damaging the tomb.
When she got home, Caroline prepared dinner on the dining table as usual.
Li Shenzhi was enjoying his dinner while reading occult books.
After dinner, I sat down at my desk and prepared to try to make extraordinary items.
To be precise, he planned to "waste" some materials to cover up the materials used to "make the resurrected corpse".
However, when it came to production, Li Shenzhi was confused.
——His success rate is surprisingly high.
For example: He has long thought about the "Spiritual Sight Ball".
This is a crystal ball that can see ghosts and ghosts. It requires a lot of materials to arrange the ritual and guide special power into the crystal ball to form the ability to see into the ghosts.
This item is a hard currency in the world of occultism.
