Father Mavie

Chapter 61 We Need Missionaries
11 a.m., Church of Truth.

Mrs. Cecil, wearing a beanie, was sitting in the church, holding a quill, recording the damage reported by the believers, and listening to the sound from the kitchen.

She couldn't understand, she really couldn't understand, why Ma Wei, as a priest, didn't receive believers in the church, but rushed into the kitchen with ingredients
That's her job!
It was clearly agreed before that she would be responsible for washing, cooking and cleaning for 10 shillings a week.
The results of it?
Ma Wei has to cook by himself every two days, making plates of delicious dishes.
"I just knew it. I just knew it"

After seeing off the last believer, Mrs. Cecil said in a daze: "I knew that the priest didn't like to eat the food I made. He just didn't have time to cook. Are the meals I cook so bad?"

"It shouldn't be."

"I obviously cooked it according to Mrs. Beeton's cookbook. The ingredients in it are accurate to a few ounces. It is the most popular recipe!"

but.
Mrs. Cecil also knew in her heart that the food she made according to Mrs. Beeton's cookbook tasted really mediocre.

She also didn't understand Ma Wei's cooking method. For example, last time, Ma Wei wrapped the pie, which should have been sent directly to the oven, but he poured oil into the pan, fried it for a while, and then added water , Wait for the water to boil dry before taking it out of the pot.

"Oh, this is the best Cornish pasty I've ever had!"

Mrs. Cecil didn't understand where the crispy and soft texture came from, but she had to admit that it was much better than ordinary pies. It was a bit like the egg dumplings in the Kingdom of Sardinia, but the taste was completely Different, the taste is also very different.

Mavi called it 'shuijianbao'.

A cuisine Mrs. Cecil had never seen before.

To her regret, since then, Ma Wei has never made 'shuijianbao' again, it seems to be too much trouble.
What will the priest do today?

Just when Mrs. Cecil was dreaming, Levine came back.

"Good morning, beautiful lady." He raised his hat and saluted.

"You are."

"My name is Levin Boger, a monk who has just joined the Church of Truth."

"Friar? Are you a priest?"

Mrs. Cecil opened her mouth wide in surprise. You must know that in the past three years, many believers wanted to become priests of the Church of Truth, but they were all rejected by Ma Wei. Today, suddenly there is a gentleman who claims to be a monk. , how could she not be surprised?

"Yes, I am sure you must be Mrs. Cecil."

Levin lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand: "Father, he mentioned you and said that you are a kind, gentle and considerate lady. Having you here really helped him a lot."

"Oh, Father, did he really say that about me?" Mrs. Cecil asked in surprise.

"Of course, after seeing you, I think so too."

Mavie had never introduced Mrs. Cecil in front of Levin. What he said just now was all made up on the spot. Although it was very true to the actual situation, it was still mixed with a lot of lies.

"Can I go in?" Levin pointed to the small door on the side of the statue leading to the back room.

".no."

The elated Mrs. Cecil, who was still smiling just now, immediately straightened her face and refused: "I will not know until I ask the priest if you are a new monk, and I cannot let you enter the back room based on your own words. "

Levin's smile was a little awkward, and he nodded again and again: "It should be, it should be."

"Xiao Hei? Xiao Hei!"

Mrs. Cecil wanted to wake up Xiao Hei, who was lying on the window sill, intoxicated with catnip, but she was immersed in a dream, so how could she have time to care about her?
No way, Mrs. Cecil had to ask Levin to wait in the church for a while, then went to the kitchen by herself, and only let Levin in after asking Marvie.

"Boss, you hired a very smart and dedicated servant."

After coming to the kitchen, which was full of heat, Levin sat down at the dining table, took a sip of black tea, and was a little depressed: "My charm has no effect on her!"

"Mrs. Cecil is not a servant. She is a member of the church and a friend of mine."

Standing in front of the stove, Ma Wei, who had a spatula in one hand and an iron pan in the other, said without looking back: "Besides, you are indeed very attractive, but Mrs. Cecil's son is two years older than you. Your tricks are not good for her." It's useless. Can you eat spicy food?"

"I can eat a little. My charm is irresistible to ladies of any age!" Levin put down his teacup heavily: "The last time the queen came to see our circus performance, she even gave me a wink! 63 years old!"

"That's because she wants old cows to eat tender grass."

Ma Wei poured the fried twice-cooked pork into the plate, his body froze when he was cleaning the pot, and he turned around and asked, "You still have an affair with the queen?!"

"No, of course not! What the hell do you take me for!"

"It's fine if you don't have it." Ma Wei was relieved: "Even if there is, you can't say it, or King Rhodes IV will have to tear you to pieces."

"I am a gentleman, a humble and honest gentleman."

"With all due respect, you are neither humble nor honest."

"That's because you don't know me well enough, what did you do?"

With his nose up, Levin leaned in front of the plate of twice-cooked pork, and seeing that Ma Wei didn't pay attention, he secretly picked up the fork
"Don't steal it!"

Junia, who had been staring at him, shouted, "Papa said that dinner can only be served when everyone is present!"

"Yes, Goddess."

Levin put down the fork resentfully, returned to his seat and sat down, and stared blankly.

He still misses the Sunshine Circus a little bit. Although he has already said goodbye to the other party, the friendship he has been with for these years cannot be broken up immediately. When he comes to a new environment all of a sudden, no matter how thick-skinned he is, it will be difficult for him to adapt immediately.

"Has everything been arranged for the circus?"

Putting a handful of white noodles into the boiling clear water, Ma Wei asked casually, "Anyway, the Sunshine Circus will stay in New Rose City for nearly half a month, so it's fine if you don't move here for the time being."

"I'm a little worried about Gina."

Levin suddenly said: "She is too strong, I'm afraid she will do something irrational."

Ma Wei also thought of the girl performing equestrian gymnastics, nodded and said: "If you are worried, go back and see more, don't leave regrets."

"Not sorry, but"

Frowning, Levin hesitated to speak: "Except for magic, Gina has already learned all my skills, and she has been greatly influenced by me. Have you seen the rose flower on her shoulder?"

"Did she tattoo it herself?"

"Well, she has always wanted to be a strange thief, and she is very talented, but she can't do magic after all. I'm afraid she will take risks after I leave."

"In this case, let her become a believer in the Church of Truth."

Mavi said softly:

"Goddess Junia will give her the power of a gift, so that she can successfully succeed you and become the second Rose Phantom Thief."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I've thought about it. The Church of Truth lacks a missionary who can spread the teachings and the Gospel everywhere. If you use the name of the Rosy Thief, I believe many people will come here."
