764: Chapter 11 The Child Never Had Good Food Since Childhood 764: Chapter 11 The Child Never Had Good Food Since Childhood Miss Uesugi Risa, the Divine Witch from Yahata Shrine in Kanagawa Prefecture, fell victim to the indulgent al of copper pot mutton on her first day in Tiann.
It wasn’t just the mutton itself, but also the price of the mutton that was the problem.
The old Tiann People wouldn’t have mutton hotpot for no reason; it was prepared for the lords who relocated from the Capital.
If you dare to sell it a bit cheaper, the lords wouldn’t be happy, feeling they’ve lost their status and face dining at your place.
The mutton hotpot in Jude Building claid to be authentic, using lambs freshly cut from the grasslands.
In the outside market, mutton is two jiao five fen per jin, but their sliced mutton, less than three liang per dish, dares to sell for eight jiao.
Wang Yunxiao himself would never enter such establishnts, even if he ate there, he would only dare to nibble a couple of garlic cloves in sugar.
If he dared to eat at to his heart’s content, a single al would consu his entire month’s salary.
Even if Li Mumu was paying, he would still feel embarrassed to eat too much.
The little witch devoured five plates by herself.
The wicked Doctor Li did not tell her the price, instead urging her to eat more vegetables, radishes, tofu, and vermicelli to prevent indigestion.
The little witch who had never seen mutton didn’t take in a single word.
By the ti she slumped over the table clutching her stomach, Li Mumu called the shop assistant to settle the bill, racking up to fifteen yuan for the al.
And that was with Wang Yunxiao barely touching his chopsticks.
It’s already October; vegetables are more expensive than at.
When the little witch heard the number, she turned as green as a leaf.
“Don’t worry, now that you’ve co to us, you need to learn to adapt to our customs.
This al is to welco and refresh you; you don’t have to spend a penny.”
Li Mumu opened her wallet, calmly paid the bill, and asked the shop assistant for a bowl of hawthorn curd.
That’s sugar water with hawthorn jelly, handed it over to the little witch.
“I’m sorry, I really can’t eat any more…”
“You must eat this.
You’ve had too much at today, and if you don’t have so hawthorn to aid digestion, you could easily suffer from food stagnation, or even develop into intestinal obstruction…
Do you know what constipation ans?”
“Eh?”
The little witch’s face spelled shock and despair.
Wang Yunxiao felt a bit uncomfortable watching and thought to himself, even if you are a doctor now, is it really appropriate to discuss intestinal obstruction and constipation with a girl in such a serious manner in public?
As it turned out, it really was necessary to heed the doctor’s professional advice.
After getting into the car, the little witch collapsed, clutching her stomach and curling up, whimpering with a look of utter despair on her face.
“How do you plan to accommodate her?”
Li Mumu quietly asked Wang Yunxiao.
This Divine Witch wasn’t here to study; she’s a proper adult coming to investigate a case.
Investigating the traces suspected to be left by a Divine Witch…
Wang Yunxiao glanced at Li Mumu and simply said, “The leaders of the Special Service Bureau intend to place her at the Nantong District Police Station to familiarize herself with the environnt.
However, the Chief hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet, so I’ll send her to a hostel near the Police Station to settle in for now.”
“It’s not good for a girl to live alone out there, is it?”
“What do you suggest?”
“The Sister Cui you took to see last ti, she’s really nice.”
You really want to match the witch with the nun, huh?
Wang Yunxiao thought about it and felt that Li Mumu had a point.
As a man, he might not care about these things, but for girls, safety concerns should be taken into account to so extent.
It’s not like being good at fighting can solve everything.
The future legal society cannot completely eradicate the existence of rogues.
So he turned around and asked, “Miss Uesugi, do you have any plans?
Staying at a hotel might offer better living conditions, but it’s not safe.
Living in a residential ho may an poorer conditions, but I know a landlady with a very good temper.”
“Uh…
Burp!”
The little witch held her stomach, looking dazed with a brain lacking blood supply appearance.
“Is the rent for a boarding house cheaper?”
“Yes.”
“Then please arrange a boarding house for , I’m not afraid of hardships.”
“Alright, you don’t need to worry about work for now, as the situation in the departnt is quite chaotic at the mont, and you might need to wait a few more days.”
Wang Yunxiao’s words were quite understated.
In fact, it is more than just chaos, as the recovery ability of ordinary people is nowhere near as strong as that of the garrison soldiers.
They say it takes a hundred days to recover from bone and muscle injuries, and right now, more than half of the people from the Nantong District branch are still bedridden in the hospital.
The entire police system is in a semi-paralyzed state.
Cui Xiaoying is studying at the normal school, and school should not be out yet, so Wang Yunxiao could only take her back to school first.
“The Divine Witch of Fusang?”
Principal Zhou, holding a cup of water, pondered for a mont before looking up and saying, “Go and ask her if she is willing to co to the school to be a teaching assistant.”
“Her?”
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that she’s soone who could get a bowel obstruction from eating hot pot lamb, and you want her to be a teaching assistant?
Has he gone mad?
Picking up just anyone for the school?
“Don’t underestimate her.
The Master of Ten Thousand Transformations was also one of the first batch of students sent abroad by Fusang to study, proficient in a mix of Chinese and Western knowledge.
Her disciples won’t turn out too bad.”
“She seems like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.
What can she possibly teach?”
“Even if she can’t teach anything, the cultural contamination she brings by herself is very valuable and can make up for what is currently missing in the school’s education.”
Principal Zhou shook his head and said, “Your junior brothers and sisters probably won’t have the opportunity to gain experience right outside their hos anymore.”
Ah?
No more monster hunting?
Wang Yunxiao was sowhat surprised, since in his understanding, the dostic situation was far from being completely peaceful.
The operation in October could indeed be described as a big play, but to say that all evil spirits and demons could be completely eradicated like that, he was still not quite ready to believe.
After all, the human heart is a very complicated matter.
“The Special Service Bureau is going to be restructured and expanded.
What are your thoughts?”
However, Principal Zhou did not continue this topic and subtly shifted the conversation.
“I don’t really have any thoughts.”
Wang Yunxiao spoke honestly, as these kinds of matters were not his to decide.
We were told last ti to disband and go back to school to study in peace, and it’s only been two months before we got pulled out again to plug holes, almost resulting in a total wipeout.
What thoughts could I possibly have?
“To formally establish a Special Service Section is not an overnight endeavor.
It ans that the Special Service Bureau will need to expand its staffing and build a comprehensive administrative system with legal regulations, all of which must be regularized.
So even if you are interested in that area, it’s not sothing you can just start doing now.”
“When the new governnt was just established last year, the temporary establishnt of the three bureaus was makeshift.
At that ti there was neither sufficient ti nor personnel for this task, and in fact that is still the case now.”
Principal Zhou said emphatically, “Your primary task right now is to focus on your studies.
It will probably be by the ti you graduate that this matter can officially take effect.”
