Chapter 5 Art

King Jin pinched the bottle of dish soap: "It's all used up."

"There is more!" The aunt sitting opposite him took it, unscrewed the bottle cap very skillfully, poured some water from the big basin into it, and shook it.

King Jin: "..."

The bowls, chopsticks and plates are slowly soaking in the big plate, with thin oily flowers floating on them.

"Okay." The aunt poured all the unknown liquid in the dish soap bottle into the basin in one go. "Save it, wash two basins."

King Jin had no choice but to bury his hands in the basin again to wash the nasty thicken sticking to the plate.

This food stall is only two streets away from Haiyang Road, but Jin Wangwang only came to wash the dishes for two days, and decided that he would never come in as a customer in the future.

This is the job he can find so far that is the quickest to get started, has the lowest hiring requirements, and is the closest to his home.

Go to work at 3:1 p.m. and leave work at 900:[-] p.m., with a monthly salary of [-], not including room and board.

While mechanically wiping back and forth with water that was not much cleaner than a plate, King Jin calculated the distribution of salary.

He can make ends meet even if he eats, and he doesn’t need entertainment such as telephone bills or Internet bills, and he has no friends in the city, and there is no possibility of going to restaurants, and he doesn’t need to rent a house.

King Jin's hand paused.

However, these allocations are all based on his [one person].

There is an extra king in the family for no reason, who only eats but does not do anything, and has to plan to double the purchase of everything.

King Jin stacked the brushed dishes and took out the water.

... In fact, King Jin knew very well that he was not obliged to share the salary with Rhodes. Rhodes to him was always just a strange person who appeared inexplicably, half coerced and half sophistry, and took up his house.

Even if Rhodes could turn into a lion, even if he could easily break King Jin's neck at any time, King Jin still had no such obligation.

But King Jin backed away, and let Rhodes walk into the luxurious master bedroom with little resistance, let him sit at the table every morning and wait for him to bring steamed buns and soy milk, and let him have the box of instant noodles in the kitchen. right of use.

Taking Rhode's special status aside, some people might think that this is an expression of kindness or soft-heartedness, but...

"Xiao Jin? Xiao Jin?"

King Jin looked up, and the basin was empty, so he had to change the water.

"Why are you in a daze, didn't you say to wash the basin again?" The aunt quickly piled the dishes removed from the front into the foam, and the water under the foam was already a little sticky.

King Jin frowned, and put his hand back into the basin.

The food stalls in L City usually also do late-night supper business, this one usually closes at one o'clock, and then cleans up the tables and chairs, cleans the kitchen, and gets off work.

King Jin's hands had barely left the water, his already pale skin looked even paler, and his fingers were wrinkled.

At this time, there was almost no one on the road. King Jin felt very stuffy in the kitchen, and he found the night wind was a bit chilly when he went out the back door.

There was no light at the back door of the food stall, King Jin walked out of the alley slowly, and suddenly saw a furry figure squatting under the street lamp on the side of the road, his tail was still sweeping, and stopped when King Jin stopped.

Almost like some kind of detector, King Jin thought.

Rhodes turned his head and stood up.

King Jin walked over: "Why are you here?"

"Waiting for you." The Persian cat's eyes were frighteningly bright at night. "I always have to wait for the landlord to come back before locking the door and going to sleep."

King Jin said, "Yes."

Then one person and one cat slowly crossed the road.

"Someone is here today." Rhodes said again.

King Jin: "?"

"But you're not here, and you rang the doorbell for a long time before leaving."

"Salesman?" King Jin thought for a while.

"It's possible." Rhodes said. "But he took the list we posted."

King Jin was taken aback. "Did you see it?"

"I saw it on the second floor." Rhodes didn't care.

"...that's a tenant! They came to see the house!" King Jin said, "Why don't you let them in?"

The Persian cat raised its head arrogantly: "Didn't you say that no one can open the door? You said that dangerous and evil salesmen in this country like to knock on other people's doors casually, and then loot everything."

King Kim said, "But he's holding the flyer we put up! That's not a salesman!"

"Then you should explain in advance." Rhodes took two quick steps and jumped off the wall. The three-story building stood quietly in the night, and the lights in the vestibule were on, illuminating a small area.

"The next time someone comes to see the house, let them in." King Jin said while scribbling on the paper. "Let them leave their contact info...or come over when I'm not at work."

Rhodes nodded casually, and carefully looked at the various colorful posters spread out on the table: "What is this?"

"This is art." King Jin finished making the list and folded it carefully.

"I'm very skeptical. These don't look like works of art. The original price is 160, and it's dropped by [-]." Rhodes picked up a supermarket discount leaflet and said, "What do you mean?"

"It means that if you go to buy it at the time stipulated above, you can buy something worth 160 yuan for 860 yuan." King Jin said.

"I remember your salary is [-]." Rhodes thought for a while and raised his eyebrows: "Then isn't this discount a good deal? It saves you a third of your monthly salary!"

"Yes, but that's a conspiracy." King Jin raised his eyes.

Rhodes: "??"

"Although the discount is not small, but the discount is the floral bedding set, we don't need it, so we don't buy it."

"But this discount is hard to come by?" Rhodes began to analyze seriously: "It can save so much money."

King Jin took the flyer from Rhodes' hand: "Did you get this discount and it's very cheap? Do you think it's a disadvantage if you don't buy it now? Want to buy it right away?"

Rhodes blinked: "You don't want to?"

"So this is a conspiracy." King Jin calmly threw away the flyer with bedding printed on it: "Although it looks like a good deal, but if you really buy it back, you will find that we don't need it at all."

"There are a lot of leaflets, a lot of supermarkets, a lot of discounted things - how to accurately and quickly filter out the deceptive and unnecessary things in the ocean of these discounts, and filter out by analogy to find the best place to spend money. The best choice on the cutting edge." King Jin adjusted his glasses again, and the mirror light flashed. "That's the art of living."

It's also a housewife's war.King Jin didn't say this.

Rhodes was immediately attracted by these never-heard remarks: "So shopping is more skillful than I imagined?"

King Jin spread out another flyer with a sensational headline: [The store celebrates its 10th anniversary!The Ultimate Bleeding Discount! 】

Rhodes: "!"

"What does this mean? In order to do business, the store manager has to kill himself?"

"It's rhetoric," King Kim said.

King Jin picked up his shoulder bag and turned his head: "Going out."

Rhodes, who consciously turned into a big yellow cat, jumped off the sofa.

After the puff scare that day, King Jin was more willing to let Rhodes keep the appearance of a cat. The reason was simple. He believed that raising a cat was much more cost-effective than raising a person.

But since it is necessary to prepare for the future co-living life, King Jin still has to make some preparations before the arrival of foreign tenants.

Rhodes sat in the shopping cart, stretched out his claws and pushed a pink toothbrush out of the gap in the basket.

King Jin: "..."

Rhodes made persistent efforts and pushed the purple toothbrush out again.

King Jin changed his toothbrush to green and blue, which cost 5 cents more.

Satisfied, the big cat began to raise its chin and pull it, or inspect other things in the shopping cart. Before departure, King Jin said that this trip was mainly to buy things for him.

After buying all the basic necessities, King Jin walked through the food area without turning his eyes, and lined up to check out. Rhodes sat on a roll of paper and slowly swung his tail proudly.

Before coming to the city, King Jin sold the canteen at home, and now he has spent half of the money.

The main ones are - Rhodes' shirt expenditure, Rhodes' underwear expenditure, Rhodes' pajamas expenditure, Rhodes' flip flops expenditure, Rhodes' feed expenditure...

King Jin became more and more unhappy, staring at the lazy big cat in the car.

Seeing his complacent look, I really want to pull his ears hard and watch him burst into tears——

Rhodes: "!"

King Jin was taken aback, and the big yellow cat in the car really exploded.

He was just thinking about it in his heart.

Rhodes: "!!"

King Jin took a closer look. The big cat's tail stuck out from the gap of the shopping cart at some point, and the tip of the tail...

There is also a small white hand.

Rhodes: "!!!"

Although he looks like a cat now, his real identity is the Beastmaster. It is impossible for him to turn around and show his paws like a cat whose tail was really scratched...

But the tail is the key!

King Jin bent over: "Hi."

The kid in the penguin jumpsuit behind him pulled the pants of the adult next to him with one hand, and grabbed Rhodes' tail with the other. He blinked at King Jin and said, "Meow~"

"That... kid." King Jin said cautiously, "Let go, okay? You scratched him."

"Meow?" the child asked suspiciously, and held on tighter to the fluffy toy in his hand.

"Baby." A deep voice sounded beside King Jin.

King Jin turned his head.

A tall man was holding a large bag of diapers in both hands, and said with his head down. "Baby, let go."

The kid shook, and slowly let go of the hand holding the man's pants.

"I'm sorry, he likes kittens." The man carrying the diaper was very handsome. Unlike the gorgeous Rhodes, his eyebrows, eyes and nose bridge were as sharp as a knife.

He put down the diaper, knelt down and squeezed his son's hand: "Baby, let go. The kitten is going to cry."

It could be seen that the kid was still walking unsteadily, and after letting go of Rhode's tail unwillingly, he wobbled and wanted to fall.

The man reached out to support him and asked him to pull the pocket of his camouflage pants again.

"I'm sorry." The man apologized again, and Rhode retracted his tail with regret, and turned his head away from the baby's drooling look.

"It's okay." King Jin said instead of Rhodes.

After this little episode happened, Rhodes quickly adjusted his habits and put his tail away wherever he went.

"Don't worry about it." King Jin said to Rhodes who was letting the breeze blow his hair on the balcony while drying his clothes. "He's just a kid."

"I don't hate children," Rhodes said. "I just……!!"

King Jin looked strangely at Rhode's tail, which suddenly trembled nervously. "I'm going to work in the afternoon, you have to watch out for someone... Huh."

Doorbell rang.

King Jin looked down from the balcony. A man who was almost as tall as Rhodes in human form was standing outside the vestibule. He had short masculine hair and was wearing a vest, revealing the muscles of his neck and arms, which was very conspicuous.

The doorbell rang again, and the interval was not too long, and it was very polite.

King Jin remembered this hairstyle and vest—if it wasn't for the iron gate in the vestibule that blocked his view, King Jin felt that there should be a little penguin at the man's feet.
