Karen poured a spoonful of hot oil into it, making a crisp "sizzling" sound.

Alfred, who was standing next to him, closed his eyes, raised his hands, raised his head, and sighed:

"Ah, I finally heard this intoxicating sound again. This is art, the real art for us to get along day and night! I really feel sorry for Mr. Bede. He should stand here to witness what the real earth is.

breath!"

Karen glanced at Alfred and said: "Bring it to the table."

"Yes, Master."

Alfred picked up the pot of pickled fish and brought it to the dining table.

The woman who had been standing with Alfred watching Karen cooking now came over, pointed at the kitchen stove, and motioned for her to clean it.

Her name is Jane, she is Aleye's wife, she has short blond hair, is somewhat thin, and she is deaf-mute.

Karen learned sign language in her previous life. Sign language is not difficult to learn. Although there are differences in countries, the general daily expressions are still very similar.

"Now let's go enjoy our dinner."

"I want to help you tidy up the kitchen first."

"In my house, it's time to clean up the kitchen after dinner. Thank you for your kindness. I won't bother you until we finish the meal."

"Okay, I understand."

Karen and Jane came to the restaurant. The restaurant was not big, but it was still very spacious for only five people.

Pu'er and Golden Retriever's portion of dinner has been served long ago, and the cat and dog are eating upstairs.

"It's so rich. Thank you for your hospitality, Master Karen." Aleye stood up and thanked Karen.

Aleye's son, 12-year-old Hande, also stood up. While staring at the tempting dishes on the table, he cooperated with his father and bowed to Karen.

Like Jane, twelve-year-old Hand is also a deaf-mute child.

Karen remembered that when he first arrived at the door of the agency in Aleye's car, Aleye just waved and said hello to his wife and son sitting inside, but did not speak because they could not hear him.

"You are so polite, Aleye. I should thank you for introducing me to such a good house."

"No, no, no, this is my job, and I also get my own commission income. You really don't need to thank me for this."

"But you agreed to let me move in here that day, and also asked your wife to help me buy bedding and daily necessities. This is not part of your job, right?"

"This is not a help, it is what I should do. Besides, you asked Mr. Alfred to go with me the next day to complete all the procedures. This house belongs to you. You should move in as soon as possible."

What does night mean?"

"No, when a person sees something he likes, it is a great happiness to have it even one minute early."

Hand was already staring at the dishes on the table and swallowing saliva from time to time, but he did not move the fork first without his parents' permission. Karen said in sign language to Jane:

"You can start eating. Remind the children to pay attention to the fish bones."

Jane nodded vigorously to Karen, and then signaled that her son could eat. Hand smiled and picked up the fork, put a large piece of roast chicken meat on his plate and started eating.

Today Karen prepared pickled fish, roasted chicken and braised mutton. The vegetarian dishes were two cold dishes, accompanied by tomato and egg drop soup.

After living in Allen Manor for a while, he now urgently wanted to remind himself of the "work aesthetic" of his stomach.

"Master Karen..."

Aleye has continued to call Karen the same name he learned from Alfred on the first day.

“Part of my commission was higher than I originally expected, because the final transaction price was higher than the original owner expected. The reason is that the original owner did not expect that old furniture and books could fetch such a high price.

So I want to take the extra part out of my commission and return it to you."

"No, that's what you deserve. This is the first time I've seen an intermediary take the initiative to refund the commission after the transaction is successful."

"This is also the first time I have heard a client say that I deserve my commission. Usually, clients will be on guard against us, fearing that we will pluck out an extra piece of steel from their hands."

"Well, I understand them." Karen picked up a pair of silver chopsticks that Alfred gave to him in Luojia City and picked up a piece of fish meat in his mouth, "because I am not too short of money now."

After buying the house, it meant that the mortgage contract came into effect. Although it was almost half cheaper than expected, it was impossible to cash out the unused amount, and it was impossible for him to do such a thing. Therefore, strictly speaking, Karen

Only Rael, who had just over 100,000 yuan, was left with him.

For the middle class, this amount of savings is still very dangerous, but Karen, who has just come out of Allen Manor, will need some time to correct and return to her own view of money.

But no matter what, it is ridiculous to use the generosity of the rich to mock the stinginess of ordinary people with their hard-earned money.

Aleye immediately changed his words and said: "Yes, Master, that's what you said."

"Come and eat."

Karen pointed to the dishes on the table with her chopsticks.

"Okay, okay."

Halfway through the meal, Hand seemed to notice the chopsticks Karen used and made a gesture to Karen.

Karen smiled and signaled Alfred to take another pair and handed them to Hand. Unexpectedly, Hand's fingers were very nimble and he immediately started picking up vegetables with chopsticks.

After the meal, Jane took the initiative to get up, put away the dishes and went to the kitchen to clean them.

Aleye took out a pack of cigarettes and looked at Karen. Karen shook his head and quit. Aleye looked at Alfred again. Alfred also shook his head and he quit too.

.

Aleye put away the cigarette case again:

"Master, if you have anything to do in the future, you can ask Mr. Alfred to come to me directly. I will definitely help you if I can."

"Well, okay."

After Jane had cleaned up the kitchen, Aleye got up and prepared to take his family to say goodbye and go home.

Alfred walked into the kitchen, wrapped the pair of silver chopsticks in paper, and handed them to Karen, who then handed them to Hand.

Hande did not reach out to take it, but looked at his parents.

"Master, we can't accept this."

"So, when I ask you for help in the future, will you refuse like this?"

"..." Aleye.

Finally, Hand accepted the pair of silver chopsticks. His mother and he bowed to Karen to express their gratitude. After the Aleye family left, Karen stretched and took it from Alfred.

A glass of ice water.

"Master, by entertaining the Aleye family, are you planning for something to come?"

"No, I just think I need to invite someone to celebrate with me when I move into a new house.

Oh, by the way, you can send the photos of the new house you took today and my letter back to Mink Street tomorrow."

"Okay, Master, the telephone company will come to pull a new phone line tomorrow."

"A phone call is a phone call, and a letter is a letter. Oh, by the way, when sending letters, remember to take the Principle Theological Sect's postal route."

"Yes, Master, I know this is more secure and less likely to be lost."

"No, it's because it's free."

Karen went upstairs with a glass of water. There was a bathroom upstairs and downstairs. Karen took a bath first, changed into pajamas, walked into the bedroom, and lay down on the bed.

At this time, Pu'er was lying on the windowsill of the bedroom, where there was a cat mat bought specially for him.

Of course, the golden retriever also has a larger dog mat in the corner.

There is no floor heating in the house, but there is heating in the new apartment. However, because the house transfer procedures have just been completed, many other procedures have not been completed yet, so the air is not available for the time being;

Unfortunately, the heater next door didn't turn on either, so I couldn't use it even if I wanted to.

Karen, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly remembered that he forgot to bring the newspaper, but he didn't want to get out of bed, so he spread his hands.

The golden retriever sat up from his nest, jumped up first, opened the bedroom door and ran out, and came back soon with three newspapers in his mouth.

Karen took it and picked up a copy of "Ven Daily". The other two copies of "Ven Finance" and "Ven Story Club" were temporarily placed on the bedside table.

After handing in the newspaper, the golden retriever climbed onto the cabinet again, reached out with his paws, and pressed the radio switch. Then he began to carefully adjust the channel, and finally tuned to "Ven News Radio", which was playing the evening news.

"Good job, Kevin."

After receiving the praise, the golden retriever lay back in his kennel contentedly.

Pu'er, who was originally lying on the windowsill, jumped off the window sill at this time, came to the bed, and walked silently across Karen's quilt, glancing at the golden retriever sideways as he walked;

"Karen, I'm cold."

After saying that, Pu'er got into Karen's bed.

Karen didn't bring it up again, because it was really cold in the room. According to people's established knowledge, dogs have rough skin and thick flesh, while cats are more delicate.

Newspapers and radio are the two most important media carriers in this era. Karen was lying on the bed, reading the newspaper and listening to the radio.

After the death of Gloria IX, the new king, Prince of York, finally ascended the throne. His Royal Highness, who had been the Crown Prince for more than sixty years, finally became a regular official.

But on this page, the top half is the news about the Prince of York's coronation, accompanied by a photo of him, his old appearance seems to symbolize the precarious situation of the Wien Empire;

The lower half is where a large-scale demonstration in pursuit of national independence broke out in the largest overseas colony of the Venn Empire.
