Father Mavie

Chapter 19 Fish and Chips
Gray Wolf Dino left, and Mavi sent him to the door of the church, watched him sit in the private Clarence four-wheeled carriage, and slowly disappeared at the end of the street amidst the creaking wheels.

"dad."

Junia came up behind him: "Since he is your good friend, why didn't you let him join the church? In this way, Junia may give him some gifted power to protect his safety in the war."

"He's a man of no faith, um...that doesn't seem right to say that."

Ma Wei thought about it: "What he believes in is not the church, but himself, and the land that raised him. He doesn't need to pursue the truth, he has already found his own truth."

"But Dad, he is so rich, why don't we ask him for help?"

"Friends, don't be moved by wealth, don't be flattered by power, what's his is his, what's mine is mine, everyone has their own dignity and bottom line, we have to respect each other's choices." Ma Wei said: " If you can solve the trouble yourself, don't ask others."

"Oh"

"Are you hungry, let's go have lunch."

"Ok!"

Holding his daughter's little hand, Ma Wei came to the kitchen. He was busy all morning, and he didn't even have time to drink his saliva. His throat was on fire, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of sand.

Just as the pot was on the stove to make some lunch, Mrs. Sethi came back.

She was sweating profusely, her body smelled like fish, and she was holding a bamboo basket in her arms, which contained a few small herrings, which were not big, only the size of a palm.

And behind her were these meowing cats.

"I'm exhausted."

Mrs. Cecil put the fish basket on the table, wiped off her sweat, and began to complain endlessly: "I went to the market early in the morning and bought half of the fish in the market. It was enough for 600 pounds, and before it was shipped back, it was snatched up by these cats!"

"Where's the cat?"

Marvie looked at the few cats following Mrs. Sisi and asked, "Are they all gone?"

"Don't mention it! After grabbing the fish, they don't know where to go. They probably went to bask in the sun!" As she spoke, Mrs. Cecil laughed again, took out a gold coin and handed it to Ma Wei: "Father , there is still a lot of money left."

"Why are there so many?"

Mavi looked surprised. According to his calculations, the market price of 677 pounds of fish should be around 8.5 gold pounds. He gave Mrs. Cecil 9 gold coins, and at most there were only 10 silver shillings left. .

"Those vendors seem to have changed their temper. They used to drive away cats immediately when they saw them. Today, not only do they not drive them away, they also actively feed them fish and meat. Some cats even linger on their stalls and never leave!"

While talking, Mrs. Cecil kept moving the bamboo baskets full of fresh fish in through the back door: "Plus, we buy in large quantities, and the prices given by those fishermen are also cheap. In the end, I will calculate that there are still some fish left over." It's a full £1!"

This is something Mavi didn't expect. It seems that after the incident last night, people living in New Rose City have greatly changed their views on cats.

And this morning, the church not only added 200 believers at once, but also received an income of 4 gold pounds. Although it was still unable to cover the food expenses, the 4 pound expenditure was still within Ma Wei's acceptable range.

Mrs. Cecil brought back a lot of fresh fish, which could just be used to feed the old cats with little mobility. After moving the fish into the dungeon, she put on an apron and poured olive oil into the pot deftly. Said quickly:
"Father and Nia wait a moment, I'll make fish and chips for you!"

Compared with Mrs. Cecil, who had always been a very industrious person, Marvie felt a little lazy.

"From tomorrow, Mrs. Cecil, you don't have to go to the market to buy fish."

"why?"

Mrs. Cecil, who was waiting for the oil to heat up, looked up in astonishment, "If I don't buy fish, who will feed these cats?"

"Let them buy for themselves."

Ma Wei thought it over clearly, since the vendors in the market have no ill intentions towards the cats and welcome them so much, it is better to let them buy fish with their own money, maybe they can buy more fish than Mrs. Cecil Woolen cloth!
Again.
The news that Maomao is an envoy of God will soon spread in the city. By then, other big churches must have heard of it. As long as they do a little research, they will definitely notice Mrs. Cecil who buys a lot of fresh fish every day, and thus become suspicious. Head of the Church of Truth.

In order to deceive people, it is not a bad idea to let the cats buy their favorite food by themselves.

Just let the fat orange and little black stare at them.

All as wages!

Gal la la.
After the internal organs were removed, the herring cut open from the middle was covered with a thick layer of wet dough, and Mrs. Cecil threw it into the oil pan. The high-temperature hot oil began to fry instantly, and countless dense air bubbles rose in the pan, and the oil blossoms began Infiltrate along the gap between the dough, and the aroma spreads all at once.

Junia shrugged her nose, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly tugged at Mavi's sleeve, as if asking what it was.

"Fish and chips, a classic dish in the Kingdom of Windsor, can be passed down for a hundred years." Ma Wei, who was reading a newspaper, said casually.

"It smells so good!"

"That's right, put so much oil, coat it with egg liquid and bread crumbs, and the slippers can fry for you."

"Huh? Can you eat slippers too?"

Junia lowered her head and looked at the cotton mop on her feet.

".It's just a metaphor. You can't eat slippers."

Ma Wei hurriedly stopped her dangerous thoughts.

"I definitely don't know how to eat slippers, Junia is not stupid, eat the slippers, what would Junia wear!"

the problem is not here
A word of defamation, Ma Wei continued to read the newspaper. He read the Ross Daily, and a special newspaper boy would deliver it to the door before dawn. However, the climate in the Kingdom of Windsor is humid, and the newspapers outside the house will recede after a while. If you want to read it, you must It needs to be ironed for a good reading experience.

Usually when Mrs. Cecil got up to make breakfast, she would help Marvie iron the newspaper so that he could read the news when Marvie had breakfast.

Today was an exception. Ma Wei didn't eat his first meal until noon, so the breakfast session was omitted.

155 South Street?
Ma Wei paused with the arm holding the black tea, thinking, isn't this the address of Mrs. Maggie's house?
Doesn't she have a tenant at home?
Just thinking about it, the bell hanging in the church was suddenly rang.

"Someone is here, I'll go out and have a look."

Putting down the newspaper, Marvie came to the church and saw an acquaintance in a gray wool coat.

"Mr. Jacob?"

"Father!"

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Jacob Valentine has lost weight again, and the clothes that didn't fit him even more so, hanging on his body like a flag wrapped around a long pole, which will fall off at any time.

The mental outlook can only be described with one bad word.

He coughed a few times, hurried to Ma Wei, and said, "Father, that bitch Maggie Kris doesn't agree with my relationship with Miss Maggie, so I can only come to you for help."
