Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 157 Eating Fish Blindly

February 1350, 1, at noon.

It took a full three or four days for the Tourist Sect to finally complete the foundation's internal personnel statistics.

Since many of them have almost no fixed residence, no family members, and no main residential address, they come to help when they need it, and wander around the East District to work when they don’t need it. It is still very troublesome to count.

The data from a round of investigation made everyone who stayed up for two nights look unhappy. The employees in the foundation fell ill and died, and there were nearly one-third less people in a sudden.If it weren't for being located in the East District, with sufficient flow of people and labor, their processing plants and food factories would have shut down.

In addition, the reduction of literate staff is a big problem.

"Daisy has agreed to come to work...but she is still in school, she can only come two days a week, and she can only get a weekly salary for a month of work, which is considered a work-study program."

"In fact, Daisy's position can be temporarily given up to others. She already had a 3p fund subsidy, and now she has an additional compensation of 50 pounds. There are many people who need help more than her. By the way, Daisy will give her back Will her family hold a funeral? Have her sister and mother already..."

"...Yes, the only people who died of illness this time were the mass funeral in the church to prevent the spread of the curse of the disease. The cremation and burial were too hasty, and the family members didn't even know where their family members were buried."

"……Ugh."

"In addition to this, we still lack at least five clerks. Does the daughter of the old Kohler family know how to read?"

"Taylor can't read, and it's too late to learn, and she's only 15 years old, so she can only come to work and study like Daisy."

"I heard that because old Kohler didn't die, his family couldn't get the casualty subsidy from the government..."

"But his lungs have been severely damaged! The cold air and the pollution from Backlund have stimulated his life, and his life is already counting down. Can't he still get casualty compensation?!"

"The situation is much more serious than his family's. Those who are not serious like the old Kohler can live for at least another month or two. Those who also have Taylor, a young labor force at home, must be a little behind, at least behind Daisy. .”

"It's easier to recruit workers. It just so happens that we don't start work during this period. I want to count pensions. I will start recruiting directly after the year, and there will definitely be no shortage of manpower. Clerks are not too urgent. There are not many shortages. There should still be some in the East District." Some girls who can read."

"By the way, our accountant is gone."

"Ms. Yalian's vacancy is indeed difficult to fill..."

"Admisol hold on first?"

"I'm fine. But when I looked at the file, I noticed that Ms. Allen has a son."

"Him? He can't. Although he can read, he can't keep accounts. Ms. Yalian was originally a governess. It was because her husband died of illness that she had to move to the East District. After moving here, she didn't have time to teach her son math."

"And the mother and son passed away together. The mental and mental state of this gentleman is really worrying..."

The top executives of the foundation sat around a long table and exchanged opinions back and forth. The table was full of files, documents, and many handwritten work contracts.

Sean finished flipping through the list, which was only half as thin as the original one, and tentatively asked: "Give fixed pensions to the families of our workers who died accidentally, and give them priority when recruiting workers. What do you think?"

Gavin immediately expressed his disapproval: "There is no problem with fixed pensions, but it would be unfair to other people if we give priority to recruiting employees' family members when recruiting workers. After all, there are probably no households in the Eastern District who are not dead. , employees’ families need jobs, and other people have their families, and they need jobs too.”

Ademisor turned to Maria and asked, "Miss Maria, have you settled on the pension amount?"

Maria was looking through the documents carefully—it was the first time such a big event happened in her jurisdiction (after all, she had only been here for ten years), and she didn't have enough experience, so she found the work records of other seniors in the organization Look—she did a mental calculation:
"The losses are mainly due to the two processing factories under my name. One of these two factories has been built for 6 years and the other is 5 years old."

"I decided to calculate the pension based on the number of years I have worked, at £20 a year."

In the East District, no matter what job there is great uncertainty, it is too common to work but not get paid.It is hard to imagine a stable job, above-average salary, and normal salary every week.Most people in the factory will not leave once they come, so most of them have more than two years of working experience, and even if they are newly recruited during the expansion last year, they have stayed at least two or three months. Get seven or eight pounds.

"A very generous pension."

"A pension of 20 to 120 pounds is enough for some people to move out of the Eastern District and find a job again? If they want to."

"What about those who have no family members?"

"Those who don't have family members can only save it first, and we don't have the extra energy to contact their relatives in other cities right now."

"I think we can let the family members choose on their own, get a pension or get a job, which can also relieve our financial pressure... After all, we still have 1600 pounds in our account..."

"That's a good idea, then we need to discuss how many pounds the pension will be used as the dividing line..."

They chatted like this until noon, and the restaurant next door delivered the takeaway downstairs, and they were still chatting about these issues when they went downstairs to eat.

The waiter in the restaurant brought a newspaper by the way as requested. Several people read it, but they still didn't see the words "poison gas", "cultists intentionally poisoned", and "terrorist attack" from it.

This is already the fifth day, and the Great Smog incident in the Eastern District has been classified. It seems that it is destined not to wait until the kingdom announces the truth.

In the Extraordinary World, there is another theory circulating: the third prince Edsaac Augustus was bewitched by a witch, which led to this tragedy.

But this rumor was spread in a vague way. Did the witch who bewitched the prince come to the East District to poison her? If not, what is the relationship between these two?Could this be another large-scale activity of the Witch Sect exposed to the eyes of the world?What's more, in the Extraordinary World, most people have nothing to gain, so could it be that the witch bewitched the prince just to hurt the civilians in the Eastern District?

However, with this royal scandal, it makes sense that Ruen has been trying his best to conceal the existence of the witch in this matter.

Ademisor read the newspaper over and over again, and there were two pages in the recruitment page for the first time. It seems that the heavy smog really hurt the vitality of the major factories.

"Great smog..." he murmured to himself dreamily, but he had never been awake before, "The great smog has objectively completed the population cleanup of the eastern district and increased the proportion of young and middle-aged people; and It also successfully made the parliament and the government aware of the pollution problem, vigorously promoted anthracite coal, and the long-awaited environmental protection law is about to be established, and factory owners are willing to promise the highest working hours in the short term..."

"So it also attracts the surrounding labor force, attracts more people to develop and work in the East District, and spontaneously achieves population flow and labor force renewal. In this way, factory owners will soon not have to worry about no one being available, and will even return to a The initial regulations, business as usual, abolished the maximum working hours, the heavy smog will not prevent them from continuing to make money."

"...So, in fact, this matter is beneficial to everyone, except the people of the East End, isn't it?"

Frank sent out all the products he had, leaving only a few fry.He is concentrating on the new experiment that he has been allowed to carry out, and is looking forward to the feedback from the "mentor".

When it was first improved, the captain suggested adding some possible weaknesses to this fish to prevent them from being accidentally lost and flooding, which would affect other creatures.Frank repeatedly assured that his fish was very docile, only for predation, and it would melt if it exceeded fifty degrees.But Cattleya repeatedly asked, so Frank improved his own special fish food, feeding with this fish food can stabilize the fish's genes.

Cattleya, who was the first to see the improved fish food and was graciously invited by Frank to feed the fish, was silent. Her real purpose was to obtain the Achilles heel of this fish from Frank (she dared not say it outright, for fear of being caught by Frank. thought it was a reminder to him) so that these magical creatures would accidentally disappear one day.

"Captain, don't you want to eat?" Frank's simple and honest smile surrounded Cattleya, making her dizzy and difficult to see and hear.On the plate is delicious red wine fried fish, a large piece of fish is slightly yellow, using Intis's production method, the fish is tender and juicy, without fish bones, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, with a natural aroma of red wine, which makes people smell Just whet my appetite.

But, but... Even if the liquid smells like red wine and tastes like red wine, it's still fish blood! !

Cattleya couldn't eat it.Cattleya quietly fed it to the queen's messenger—the bullying cultivator is not good at spiritual vision and can't see her own small movements—fortunately, the messenger was unknown, so she happily accepted the feeding, and even liked the spirituality contained in it. of fish.

She then, along with the rest of the crew, destroyed Frank's horrific new food. The only person who was interested in it and really wanted to try it was Heath Doyle, but they didn't let him eat it.

Frank was pleasantly surprised to see that his new product was swept away by everyone, and he asked for food testimonials one by one, but soon he was distressed to find that none of them seemed to be familiar with the cooking skills of this fish, and everyone hesitated and gave No constructive suggestions.

So he wrote a product introduction of genetically modified food according to the format sent by the "mentor", with detailed introduction and regulations attached, and sacrificed the remaining few fry after growing up.

In the afternoon, he was thinking about going to the restaurant to buy a few ready-made roast chickens when he went ashore tomorrow, or buying live chickens and roasting them himself, when his spiritual perception suddenly rang like someone rang a bell, and he already understood this. What does this kind of spiritual perception of cold hands and feet and fear in the heart represent? Immediately stood up, facing my workbench and praying:

"The master of the lost city, a great existence that does not belong to this world..."

"Instructor of Narrative Knowledge, Perpetual Decay, Great 'Guru'..."

——Cattleya once asked Frank to say this honorable name, one sentence at a time, and they would chat for a while every time they said one sentence, Cattleya didn't want to be watched by the hidden existence because of this, but she did need confirmation The status of the crew.

If Frank believed in the evil god and became tainted, she would have to throw him overboard as a matter of course.

Frank, however, shows no symptoms of being tainted by evil beings, as evidenced by his still fanatical belief in the Mother Earth.In addition, this esteemed name also made Cattleya a little puzzled. She suspected that this was a hidden sage, but Frank didn't look like he had been indoctrinated with knowledge. Maybe this was a high-sequence powerhouse of the "Secret Peer" path. "Does not belong to this world" and "The Lost City" may refer to countries in the Quaternary Epoch or earlier, which may be the key to interpreting the identity of this strong man.

She wanted to write a letter to inquire about the queen, but she was worried about offending this strong man who seemed to have no hostility, so she put it aside for the time being.

Back to the present, a gloomy light flashed, and there was a thin document on the desk.

Frank held it up with both hands excitedly, and several sheets of paper were pinned together by a paper clip, and there were five or six sheets pinched together.

The first page is a full letter paper, the font is actually Intis cursive, neat and very beautiful, I wrote a page and a half eloquently, first praised Frank's creativity more politely, and then described the choice of The cooking method of this fish is described in more detail when it is cooked.These Franks have observed many times, but seeing the diners so carefully, he was a little moved.

"... There are many advantages, such as delicious taste, easy to cook, even without adding more seasonings, the aroma of red wine carried by the fish is very attractive... Secondly, it contains rich spirituality, although it is not much, but it is also useful for mid-low sequence Extraordinary people The effect of supplementing spirituality (this tone, could it be that this is a high-sequence! Frank was shocked and then an unexpected ecstasy.) ... There is almost no kitchen waste, easy to handle, fish bones and bone marrow are almost completely melted, fresh The effect is remarkable, not much different from the monosodium glutamate that is indispensable in noble cooking..."

Then this insightful eater talked about the shortcomings: the product positioning is subtle, and the high is not enough.Rich in spirituality means that it has limited circulation in the ordinary people's market, and the main consumers will be extraordinary people.The taste of red wine is the lowest grade in Misty Winery, which is not attractive to the rich and noble.The main thing is that fish blood is red wine, which is a bit unacceptable and needs more packaging.

Finally, the diners once again politely praised the developers and expressed their expectations for other follow-up products.

This food feedback made Frank feel like a precious treasure, and his eyes were almost filled with tears. He made up his mind to send more delicious new products to this gentleman (madam?) in the future.

The disadvantages are indeed obvious, and Frank also thought of it. After all, the red wine fish is actually a whim of his own. In fact, red wine is not a necessity of life. After it is really made, he does not know how to further promote it.

The second, third and fourth were all of the same paper and appeared to be eaten together.

The three diners chose different methods, sashimi, fried soup, and... raw?
This behavior inevitably reminded him of Bishop Rose on his ship.

The second one seemed to be written by someone who had received elementary education. It used simpler words and chose the same way of eating as the first diner, but the wording and sentence structure and the degree of detail were very different, and Frank read it with relish.

The wording of the third serving was more refined—yes, refined, using some rather elegant words, as if he had received more education than the previous one. The way of eating sashimi made Frank feel a little curious, The disadvantage is that the fishy smell is a bit heavy, but overall it is well received.

Fourth...

"The meat is very good, absorbs quickly, and the blood tastes good. This is a good sacrifice. Praise the Lord. You must work harder for the Lord."

Ah this...

Is this eating fish or cannibalism?Frank was puzzled and a little scared. He looked down and found that after these few sentences, there were hundreds of words praising the true Creator below.

Frank quickly cut and burned the part.

It's really a secret prayer!He was terrified for a while, and then became unexpectedly excited. It was Aurora Club who wrote product feedback for himself!There was nothing to be proud of about this matter at all, but he was inexplicably proud.

He looked and looked at these pieces of paper, touched and touched them, and reluctantly smoothed out the creases, and put them into the file bag.

"Your Excellency, the food experience of the three of us..."

"Well, I've read them all, and you've written them all very well. Overall, the highest score is an A. His post-communion gratitude to the Lord is more empathetic than your dry feedback Much more."

"???!!!"
