Chapter 10 Payment
Just when his thoughts were swirling, Mo Zhi suddenly looked through the mirror and saw the barber who was working on his head with a strange look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
As soon as my heart moved, my spirituality suddenly emerged, and the feeling of nothingness spread to the barber along with the scissors on my hair...
Even Uncle Cat felt the spiritual movement and raised his head warily.
"He should be able to apply for a card..."
"This neighborhood is a wealthy area. You can't judge a book by its appearance. Although this guy is wearing shabby clothes, he should not be short of money... I have a high probability of success."
"If you refuse, I will stalk you..."
The voice quickly rang out in Mo Zhi's heart, and it was exactly the tone of the barber.
Um... No matter where in the world, you can encounter this kind of card application, it is unpredictable and speechless.
Uncle Cat had already sensed that the unpredictable power had been activated. He raised his head and kept watching, so that he could take action in time if there was any problem, but...
As if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly said with a hint of panic:
"Broken...I forgot my wallet."
The flying scissors on Mu Zhi's head stopped suddenly, and the barber was stunned.
You don't even have a wallet, and you still want to apply for a woolen card?
Mozhi was very satisfied at this time, because after what he said just now...
The headache is gone!
It’s true that I didn’t bring a wallet with me in the first place, and it was the real result of the barber trying to get Mo Zhi to apply for a card!
Satisfied, he turned around and saw the astonishment on the barber's face. He smiled unexpectedly and said, "Let's finish it first."
The barber felt as if he had been aiming for a long time but missed. He waited for half a minute before saying in a muffled voice:
"Then how do you pay? Twenty copper dollars!"
Mo Zhi pondered for a moment: "I live nearby. You should know who lives nearby and won't default on your debt... If you are worried, I can give you something as collateral and go back and get the money to redeem it."
What you were thinking just now is, this is a wealthy area, how could you default on your debt?
As expected, the barber's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Okay, okay."
Any thing belonging to a rich person may exceed the imagination of a poor person... The barber is naturally happy, although the thing may not necessarily belong to him, but... what if something happens?
The current one is so young, maybe he is a rich second generation who spends generously?
Maybe he forgot to come back to redeem it?
Maybe he got lost after returning home to get the money and could never be found again?
Maybe the things are very expensive, more expensive than this barber shop?
Although Mu Zhi has paid the price at this time and can no longer hear the barber's thoughts, you can still guess what he is thinking through the smile on the corner of the barber's mouth in the mirror.
Sitting upright again, the scissors on my head continued to fly...
A strange evil smile appeared on the old cat's face, but it disappeared briefly and continued to sit on the seat.
Within ten minutes, the unpredictable and thick long hair disappeared, and the whole person looked more refreshed...
After cleaning the hair flakes, Mozhu turned around to the barber and calmly took out a silver dollar from his pocket: "Collect the money."
The barber was suddenly stunned: "You... didn't bring your wallet?"
Mo Zhi nodded: "Yeah, I didn't bring my wallet...but I did bring money."
"I..." The barber was confused for a moment. Why did he feel that the other person's smile was a bit mean...
Seeing the one silver dollar in Mo Zhi's hand, it was impossible not to accept it. The barber subconsciously took the money and gave him eighty copper dollars.
Seeing Mozhi leaving with the old cat, the young barber touched the silver dollar in his hand and felt that something was missing...
This guy has already paid twenty copper dollars for a haircut, that's right...
What is missing?
…
"I didn't expect that this could pay the price..." On the way back, Uncle Cat asked thoughtfully: "What did you hear him think?"
"Let me apply for a card..." Mo Zhi smiled.
"It's okay..." Old Cat almost staggered.
"It's true that I didn't bring a wallet, and the fact that I didn't bring a wallet was the result of what he had in mind." Mo Zhi guessed.
Uncle Cat stopped his brisk limbs and was thoughtful... After waiting for him for a while, Uncle Cat said: "Are you a logic genius? You can actually think of this way... to avoid applying for a card."
"I naturally thought of it..." Mo Zhi said nonchalantly.
"Of course..." Uncle Cat narrowed his eyes: "Let's go home."
Seeing Uncle Cat's somewhat surprised look, Mo Zhi thought to himself that maybe it was because back on Earth, he always had "disputes" with readers and netizens on forums, which resulted in his ability to find various logical loopholes being exercised every day.
I have been very familiar with it for a long time, or maybe I am a street writer myself - a storyteller who often uses logic to deduce the direction of the story... In particular, I have written two detective novels.
However... I should also study the price carefully. While walking and admiring the swans swimming on the lake, Mozhi continued to think about it in the barber shop...
According to Captain Vera's test results, it is known that there are two ways to pay the price directly. The first is to directly recite what the target is thinking, that is, describe it verbatim; the second is to pay the price directly to the target.
I want to make a rough summary of what the other party is thinking, and analyze a rough result from what the other party is thinking. For example... Luo Qing's thoughts are full of concern for Vera, so he has a crush on Vera, and just now, he asked me to apply for a card
——Without a wallet.
In terms of difficulty, it is safer to directly repeat the target's idea, and it can be paid easily at almost any time, but the method is too simple and crude, and cannot be used frequently.
After all, you always have to deal with ordinary people and directly retell the other person's thoughts face to face. This will definitely make the target feel incredible, and you will immediately notice that you can read minds.
This is against the "Covenant of the Contractors"... You must not try to test the terms of "God's Punishment" by taking side shots.
Then there is only the second way... Mozhi decided on this way.
The second method has a certain difficulty threshold...
This requires analyzing the content of the target's thoughts in order to obtain real results - the accuracy depends on one's own analytical ability... However, the second method also has advantages, that is, it can mask the telepathic ability so that the target cannot detect it.
There are difficulties and there are risks, but the victory lies in not violating "Heavenly Punishment"...
Unpredictable feels that this is quite stressful, and he has to not reveal his abilities in front of ordinary people, and he has to accurately summarize the reality that the other party wants to represent, which is abstract and complicated...
However... I can't think of any other better way for now, so let's use the second method first, and try to use the contract ability as little as possible...
Other payment methods will be developed slowly in the future!
Unpredictable and aimless thoughts, and found that I really have no motivation at all - ever since I decided to live with an unpredictable identity, I now have an extremely lack of sense of purpose...
Maybe it’s because the student life itself is the happiest time in life... there is no work pressure, no need to support yourself, no need to look at the boss’s face...
There is also a rich and beautiful sister who gives me money to spend!
This is much better than the life before time travel, spent in low-rent housing racking your brains and writing words, with your hair bald...
Don’t worry about going hungry, isn’t happiness just now?
"I am really a person who is easily satisfied..." Thoughts came to mind, and he muttered subconsciously.
"Meow..." Uncle Cat meowed as if in agreement.
………
After buying cat food, I walked slowly and leisurely around the entire Anzhitinglan Community. When I returned home, I felt the abundance brought by twenty-eight hours a day. It was not yet twenty o'clock, and the distance was still far away.
Luo Sheng still has more than two hours to get off work.
I felt really bored, so I cleaned the hall on the first floor again...
It's not because he is diligent, but because he is used to living a hard life, and he always feels that such a beautiful villa must be carefully cared for.
Luo Sheng is a very diligent person and firmly resists hiring housekeepers. All housework is done by one person...
It was unpredictable at this time, but I could think of the real reason behind it: the original owner had social barriers, and hiring a stranger at home might cause some adverse consequences. Luo Sheng was extremely meticulous about herself, and even though she was already very busy, she still stubbornly chose
Clean alone
Finally, I tidied up the kitchen and saw everything on the condiment table. I suddenly felt the urge to cook - it not only consumes time, but also allows me to savor the food I'm used to.
Rice, noodles, oil, chili, salt... Unexpectedly opened the old-fashioned wooden refrigerator and found that there were a lot of vegetables inside.
This old-fashioned refrigerator is very interesting. It is a wooden box similar to a handicraft. The bottom layer is ice cubes, the top layer is also ice cubes, and various ingredients are stored in the middle.
There are many vegetables that I have never seen before... However, I still found the familiar spinach.
Turn on the gas, boil a pot of hot water first, use the warm water to dissolve some salt and use it to knead the dough until it is softer than dumpling noodles, then spread a little peanut oil on the surface of the dough...
Chop the dried chili peppers, mince the onions and garlic and set aside... Find a large bowl, mix four spoons of soy sauce and three spoons of vinegar directly in the bowl, and adjust to a bowl of juice.
Let the dough rest for half an hour, then roll it out and press it slowly until it becomes knuckle-wide noodles. Put it in the pot and cook it. When it is half cooked, add the washed spinach, and the water in the pot will suddenly turn light green.
The noodles and spinach are cooked almost at the same time. Take them out, drain the water, put them into the prepared bowl of juice, put the onion, ginger, garlic and chopped chili on the noodles...
Heat a tablespoon of peanut oil on the gas and pour it directly on the green onion, ginger and chili foam. The hot temperature will stimulate the fragrance of onion, garlic and chili pepper, and it will permeate the air immediately...
I feel like my salivary glands are secreting like crazy.
Just after turning off the gas, cleaning the pots and cutting boards, the door opened...
Luo Sheng walked in with his bag in hand: "I brought you fast food. Eat it quickly. I have to leave in a while. I have something to do tonight... Huh? What smells so good?"
Mozhi walked out of the kitchen with noodles in one hand and noodle soup in the other, placing them on the dining room table: "Try it?"
"Did you do it?" Luo Sheng felt like the sun was rising in the west...
Mo Zhi nodded.
Luo Sheng hung his handbag on the chair, and then he noticed that his appearance had changed. His whole person was clean and tidy, as if he was a different person.
Looking at his brother in confusion, Luo Sheng moved the noodles on the dining table and carefully picked up one with chopsticks.
"Mix well first..." Mo Zhi reminded.
"Oh..." Luo Sheng followed the same method, there was no oil left at the bottom of the bowl, the soy sauce and vinegar bowl juice were rinsed at high temperature, all evenly adhered to the surface, and suddenly there was another burst of aroma.
Carefully picking up a piece of noodles, he slowly put it into his mouth. The elasticity of the noodles, the fragrance of the seasonings, and the stimulation of the chili blended together. Luo Sheng suddenly felt that his soul was melting...
He raised his head and glanced at the unpredictable person next to him. Luo Sheng lowered his head and ate happily. His ladylike demeanor was gone.
In less than three minutes, the bottom of the bowl of noodles was gone.
Um...Sister, this is for two people!
Mo Zhi silently picked up Luo Sheng's handbag, took out the hamburger that was still warm inside, and took a big bite.
