Chapter 298 Help Buy Books

Frederick rested in the bathhouse for a few days, taking bubble baths, massages, and drinking every day, and then went to the small theater to watch "Duke Wesson Riding Alone to Save the Prince", "Duke Wesson's Silk Sack and Three Strategies to Retreat" Gazi" and other new dramas, or go to the library to read a book, eat and sleep until you wake up naturally, and you can completely relax your body and mind.

This morning, when he checked out and left the bathhouse, he blinked as he looked at the white fog on the street.

At this time, the street was quiet, and no one could be found if I wanted to ask for directions.

He could only walk slowly on the road, carefully counting the intersections, then turning, and finally found the hotel with a pomegranate on the signboard.

This hotel is fairly large in scale, and it was run by the mother of the big sister who massaged in the bathhouse, and many small businessmen lived here.

The layout of this hotel is the same as other places. The first floor is the place to eat, with many tables and chairs. The innermost part is the counter, and behind the counter is the wine rack.

Because no one got up because of the heavy fog early in the morning, it was very deserted here, only a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen was wiping glasses behind the counter.

After Frederick walked over, the girl raised her head, looked at it seriously in disbelief, and then covered her open mouth with her hands in surprise.

"You recognize me?" Frederick asked curiously.

The girl came back to her senses and said cautiously, "I saw you in Constantbul."

Frederick nodded. After they captured Constantbul, they released all the women in the palace that Phocas collected from all over the place.

"Just pretend you don't know me." Frederick smiled, "Is this your home?"

The girl nodded and prepared him the best room in the hotel.

Frederick came to the room on the top of the third floor and put away his luggage. After a while, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the girl at the counter brought breakfast.

The breakfast looks very interesting, mainly two long loaves of bread with sliced ​​boiled eggs and jam, and a glass of juice.

Only then did Frederick notice that the girl's right leg was a piece of wood, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with your leg?"

After putting away the breakfast, the girl replied respectfully: "My lord, my name is Puna. I was kidnapped by the tyrant Phocas three years ago to Constantbul. Because I didn't want to serve him, I was cut off by him. Legs, kept in the palace to deter others."

Frederick thought about it, and seemed to have heard about it at the time.

He said to Puna: "Go down and rest, you don't need to be tired from running up and down."

Puna hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and asked, "My lord, may I ask a question? It's about Wessen State."

Frederick pointed to the chair by the table and said, "Sit down and ask."

After speaking, he himself sat down.

Puna said cautiously: "My sister will go to Wessen State next year, and our family will follow."

Then she looked at her right leg and asked, "Where... can someone like me get a job?"

Frederick looked at her leg. It should have been chopped off in the upper middle of her calf, and her knee should be fine.

"Are you literate?" Frederick asked.

Puna nodded hastily and said, "When we run a hotel, we will meet guests from many countries, who can speak several languages ​​and characters."

Frederick thought for a while and said, "I have a suggestion, you can sign up for a typing training class, this job is a bit like a copyist."

"When you learn to type, you can earn a decent income whether you go to a chamber of commerce, find a job in a factory, or open a typing shop by yourself."

Ogilvy made a calculator based on the golem puppet core 7 years ago. In the past two years, it finally tossed out a typewriter that can be used commercially in the spare time of administrative work. Now the people waiting to pick up the goods in front of the factory A snack street has been propped up.

Although the typewriter is not cheap, but Puna's sister is a technical talent who came to run the school, and with Lilu's letter of introduction, it is no problem to apply for a low-interest loan for targeted purchases.

Frederick told Puna about the relevant policies, and the girl listened very carefully.

Now there is no big problem for foreigners working in Wessen State. The only problem that is difficult to solve is the problem of believers of other religions. Frederick decided to have a good talk with the Pope when passing through the Holy City this time.

After Puna left, Frederick ate breakfast and rested until after nine o'clock.

At this time, the fog cleared and the streets began to liven up.

When Frederick went shopping, he found that although the weather was hot, it was much cooler than before. Thinking about it, it was almost snowing in Wessen.

He walked around the street and saw that half of the silk shops were occupied, so he had an idea in his mind.

There has been no breakthrough in BASF's use of slime glue to make chemical fibers. I am afraid that materials like nylon will be lost in a short time.

A while ago, the Kirov airship showed its skills, and the Air Force is going to expand its scale. The airbag of the airship is currently the best with silk brush slime glue.

So Charles wanted to see if there was cheap and strong silk to reduce the cost of the airship.

For this kind of thing, it is natural to find an expert, but he is not familiar with this place, and he doesn't even know where the expert is.

Frederick looked up at the castle on the hilltop beside the city, thinking that it would be the most convenient to find the lord here, Count Valli.

It's just that I have nothing to prove my identity, and if I don't do it, I will be driven away as a liar.

He finally decided to go back and ask Puna about it.

There were more pedestrians on the road, the store in front was full of people, and dozens of young young masters and ladies lined up in front of the store next door.

Curious, Frederick walked over to have a look, and found that it was a bookstore. There was a blackboard hanging on the wall next to the gate, on which was written in chalk, "Your Excellency Qingju's latest collection of poems "The Sea Breeze Returning to Hong Kong" has arrived, and the price is two yuan." Vali coin".

Looking at the growing queue, Frederick smiled and turned to leave.

"This gentleman!" Someone in the team took a step and grabbed Frederick's scabbard, his hind legs still on the spot, "Do you want to buy Your Excellency Qingju's book too? Can you stand for me for a while, I'll make it easier for you .I can buy an extra copy for you!"

Frederick saw that the young man was in his early 20s, and he looked rich and modest from his clothes, so he said, "If the people behind don't mind, I can help you take a seat."

The young man asked a few questions, and there was no problem.

Frederick held the sword upright and stood over. The man quickly ran to the restaurant across the street.

Just started selling books, the line gradually moved forward, and the young man has not come back yet.

Not long after, Frederick was in the queue. He took out two local silver coins and bought a copy of "The Sea Breeze Returning to Hong Kong".

After he walked out of the bookstore, he waited for 10 minutes before he saw the young man walking out of the restaurant with numb feet, his expression dead.
