Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 11 Community Life Notes
"If I don't come back, I can't bring you food.

If you are really hungry, walk west along Walker Street,

Walk for about 10 minutes, and you will see a morning market on the side of the road.
The morning market is open from 5:6 to [-]:[-] every morning, and there are poor people selling their own bread or paste.

Hmm... sell some coffee once in a while,
But the coffee they make has a lot of impurities. If you want to drink it, you need to pinch your nose. "

Hey, do you know what coffee is...

"After 6 o'clock, the morning market is gone, because small vendors like them earn too little to pay taxes to the empire,

It also occupies the street and affects workers' commuting.

After 6 o'clock, the police department will go to work, and they will be driven away. "

Ogami and Nuomi Guo listened carefully to what he said.

Chen Yan suddenly realized that even if they could find the morning market, they would have no money to buy food.

Is it...

Want me to post back? !
He looked at the two innocent eyes.

Too much!

I haven't got my own breakfast yet!

Chen Yan and them looked at each other for a few seconds.

What is that phrase that old immigrants often say?

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

He took a deep breath, took out bits and pieces of coins worth about 20 pence from his pocket, and put them in the hands of Nuomi Guo.

"1 pound = 50 shillings,

1 shilling = 120 pence,

It's 20p and probably covers a couple of meals. "

Chen Yan was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

That was half a week's living expenses for him!

"Just use this to buy food first... When you earn money from part-time jobs, you have to pay me back!"

Regardless of whether they understood or not, the two kept nodding anyway.

Chen Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and it took him a long time to recover.

"and also."

He emphasized his tone because this was the main point he wanted to explain.

"If you meet a choir troupe to give alms, don't take their food!"

"It's an uncle or aunt who wears a white top hat and a white gown with gold trim, and looks very kind and peaceful."

Chen Yan said to Nuomi Guo in a very threatening tone:
"They like a little girl like you the most. Once you accept their alms, they will take you away in a few days."

"Because you ate the food they gave - they called it the [community],
When you eat the [Sacrament], it means that you have completed their initiation ceremony and become their member. "

A dazed expression appeared on the glutinous rice fruit's face.

She has been translating Chen Yan's words to Ogami,

After Ogami heard about the choir, his brows frowned into the word "Chuan".

Chen Yan glanced at the two swords behind Ogami, and warned in a gentle tone:

"Don't mess with the chant troupe, they are the official church organization of the empire, um...the state religion, do you understand?"

"They don't have guns in their hands, but they are able to stay outside the law."

"Beyond the law, there are too many means that can be used..."

Under the translation of Nuomi Guo, Ogami nodded heavily.

When he nodded, Chen Yan felt the temperature around his body drop significantly.

It was as if a burst of cold air covered the body.

After a moment of cooling down, Ogami returned to his normal expression.

The cold feeling also disappeared.

Chen Yan swallowed, looked at the obviously serious Ogami, and said earnestly:

"Do as the Romans do.

If we Asians want to live on other people's territory, we must follow their rules.

There is no other way, we are all just ordinary people...

Ordinary workers, earn a living, not shabby. "

The two nodded at the same time.

Chen Yan looked at the seemingly "obedient" two people, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Before the two came, Chen Yan actually considered a lot.

Regarding the purpose of the tenant: Is it to settle in the empire, or simply to work illegally?

About the character of the tenant: is it easy to get along with, or is it troublesome all day long?

But when facing the two of them, Chen Yan realized that everything he had considered before was not working.

It is impolite not to ask the purpose of the visitor.

Even if you know the character of the visitor, you must find a way to get along with it and explore the way of getting along with the landlord and the tenant.

Business is not easy.

Money is hard to earn, and X is hard to eat.

This is true everywhere.

In Chen Yan's confusion, Nuomi Guo suddenly asked:
"Sir, why did you come to the Empire?"

Ugh?
Why are you turning against customers!
However, Chen Yan already had an answer to this question.

"I'm desperate."

With mockery in his words, he inadvertently looked at the photo frame on the counter next to the sofa.

On the photo frame, the face of the girl leaning on Chen Yan's shoulder has been scratched.

He caught a glimpse of the girl's scratched face, then subconsciously pretended to look away inadvertently.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, the empire makes money."

Chen Yan said.

"Now it's different from the previous years. The empire has a huge fleet, and those long-distance ferries have chimneys higher than buildings.

The shipping routes of the empire spread all over the world, and all the goods in the world circulated in the ports of the empire. Even simple tariffs raised the level of the entire empire by a large margin.

The Empire is rich and there are many opportunities to make money. "

There was self-deprecation in his words.

"For a low-level wage earner like me, coming to the empire is just to live a better life."

Nuomi Guo looked puzzled: "But I walked along the road and saw many people who just got off work after 10 o'clock at night."

"They are poorly dressed, which means they have no money.

They had bad complexions, and Ohgami told me that most of them suffered from low back pain or muscle damage from chronic overwork.

It's early morning now, but the sky is still bright over there. "

The glutinous rice fruit points in a certain direction out of the window.

In that direction, there is the brightest place in the night in the entire Yanan City - that is the industrial area in the lower city of Yanan City, where there are rows of factories.

The lights of the factory are kept on all night, not only for illumination, but also for the convenience of checking whether the workers who work in three shifts are not slacking off.

The sound of sticky rice crackers is light but firm.

"The prosperity of the empire doesn't seem to affect them."

Chen Yan looked helpless.

"Yes, glutinous rice fruit, those workers who can only sell their labor, they are the firewood of the empire..."

He shook his head.

"lets change a topic."

What's the use of saying it?
Who can change these?
Migrant workers are still overwhelmed.

"Here's the key to the apartment."

He handed the key he had prepared to Nuomi Guo.

"The key to Room 303 on the third floor is hung on the wall next to the door, so you can see it when you go in."

He glanced at the clock on the wall.

The time has come to 5:40 in the morning.

Byron Weiss Zoo opens at 8:[-], if according to the plan before Chen Yan:
"Wait at the gate of the zoo 1 hour and 39 minutes in advance", and now there are 41 minutes before work.

Time to take the steam bus!

Chen Yan stood up.

"If you don't go out, it's best to lock the door and keep the lights out of the room, after all...

You do not have official identities now. If you are discovered by the police, you will be easily transferred to the Immigration Bureau by force. "

He emphasized again: "Your identities are sensitive, and you must not engage in violent conflicts with law enforcement officers."
