Through the curtains, the sun shone on Jason's face.
The feeling of warmth quickly woke Jason up from his sleep.
Then……
He felt hungry.
It seems that because of awakening the talent [Predator], Jason found that not only could he eat more food than before, but he could also digest it extremely quickly.
According to his usual food intake, he ate so much food yesterday, let alone feeling hungry, it would be good if he didn't have indigestion.
And now?
Goo, goo goo.
There was a roar in the stomach.
Without any hesitation, driven by hunger, Jason quickly got up, washed up, and pushed out the door.
There was nothing to eat in the kitchen in his room except water.
Only some remaining black pepper was used on [Grid Tungsten Hound].
The police dormitory also does not provide breakfast - yesterday, Jason had already asked Finch, and also asked which breakfast restaurant in the surrounding area was worth visiting.
Greeting detectives and police officers along the way, Jason quickly walked out of the police station and walked straight towards the intersection described by Finch.
Jason could smell the food from afar.
After turning the corner, he saw the 'Yanan Food Shop' surrounded by many people.
It has a food shop in its name, but it is a mobile vendor.
The boss is a lame middle-aged man with thinning hair and traces of age on his face, but he smiles very kindly.
"what do you need?"
"Fries or crisps? Coffee or pea soup? Sandwiches or meatloaf? I also have salted eel and grilled herring!"
"Of course, you can also choose from more awesome pies and gingerbread, and today's finale: pineapple."
The other party looked at Jason walking over and asked enthusiastically.
Jason nodded first and greeted the other party, then glanced at the blackboard standing in front of the dining car.
It says -
French fries (potato chips): 1 copper corner.
Coffee or pea soup: 2 copper cents.
Sandwich or meatloaf: 3 copper corners.
Salted eel: 1 copper gram and 1 copper angle.
Grilled herring: 1 copper gram.
Pie (full portion of fruit): 6 copper grams.
Gingerbread: 5 copper grams and 2 copper horns.
Pineapple (quarter segment): 8 copper grams.
…
Just like Finch said, it's cheap and good here.
According to ordinary people's choices, most people will choose a sandwich or meatloaf, paired with a coffee or pea soup, and if necessary, add a French fries (potato chips). The total consumption is 1 copper gram and 2 copper cents. For a person in Lord's
For a healthy, working adult man in the city, such expenses are not much.
However, Jason could see the people gathered in front of the booth, looking at the blackboard with hesitation, and many of them were touching their pockets.
Obviously, even a small amount of money is enough to make these men, who are dressed in decent clothes, hesitate.
After all, they need to support their families.
At home, there are parents, wives, children, or sisters.
Jason didn't have these considerations, but he also had to save money.
Because, he needs to buy some necessary spices for cooking food.
And the prices of those spices are quite expensive.
"Five meat pies, two pea soups, and one salted eel."
Jason started ordering food.
Then, he called out 6 copper grams and handed it to the boss.
"Are you here to buy breakfast for the family?"
“What a prosperous family!”
"You must be the eldest in the family, right? How many younger brothers and sisters are there?"
After taking the money, the boss praised him and asked with a smile.
Jason did not explain, he chose silence.
Moreover, after taking another large bag of food, he turned around and left.
When he turned the corner from the intersection, Jason took out a piece of meat pie, rolled it into a roll, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The skin is crispy and the meat filling inside is moist enough.
Definitely one of my favorite foods.
Especially when paired with the slightly salty pea soup, it is quite good, and the onion rings in the soup became an unexpected surprise for Jason.
The salted eel had a waxy feel and the spines were still there. After shaving off the spines, Jason rolled it into the meatloaf and put it into his mouth together.
It tastes very good.
Fish and pork, two meaty textures, paired with salt, Jason ate them happily.
It's been a long time since he had such a sumptuous breakfast.
In the city that never sleeps?
Always dry bread and water.
Next, according to the plan, Jason will go to the spice shop.
Jason definitely doesn't mind adding flavor to food as long as he can use spices.
The spice shop is on Kensing Street. Walking there will take a lot of time. Jason plans to take the city's public carriage - this is reimbursable. He asked Bundy.
Opposite the police station there is a public carriage that leads directly to Kensington Street.
Jason stood there quietly waiting for the public carriage.
About three or four minutes later, a public carriage pulled by two horses appeared in Jason's field of vision.
Different from private carriages, the carriages of public carriages are much larger and simpler. Getting on the carriage is not from the side of the carriage, but from the back of the carriage. Inside, wooden boards are nailed along the wall of the carriage to serve as seats.
, of course, there is a similar arrangement on the door behind the carriage. Although it is a bit in the way, after all, it can accommodate one more person, which means an extra penny will be charged.
Over time, that can be an objective income.
The entire carriage can seat approximately 6-8 people of normal size.
The fare is calculated according to the station. For example, it costs 1 copper gram and 2 copper cents to go from the police station to Kensing Street. The price is not cheap, so it is not an option for most people to go out.
As for the rich?
These people naturally choose private carriages.
The carriage slowly pulled over, but before the coachman could actually park the carriage, a figure opened the door, jumped out of the carriage, and ran straight towards the police station.
The place where the other party jumped off the carriage was only more than one meter away from Jason.
Therefore, Jason clearly saw that the other party was a woman with a beautiful face.
However, panic and fear filled this face at this moment.
Jason stared blankly at the other person's back.
It's not because of the other person's appearance.
But...
Because of the aroma of food!
On the other party's body, Jason smelled a faint aroma of food.
That scent is more alluring than [Submariner].
Gudong.
Jason swallowed, and he immediately changed his plan. He ignored the carriage parked in front of him and chased after him.
When Jason stepped into the door of the police station lobby, he saw the lady grabbing the arm of a young police officer and shouting loudly:
"Where is Chief Bundy?"
"Where is Chief Bundy?"
"I want to see him!"
The other party's voice was hoarse, and even shouting did not change this, making the other party look like he was hoarse.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
"Please calm down."
"This is the police station, we will ensure your safety!"
The young police officer comforted the other party.
However, it is of no use at all.
The other party still kept saying, "I want to see Chief Bundy" over and over again.
This made the young police officer very helpless.
Not to mention that Bundy had just fallen asleep at dawn, it had been less than two hours, and there was no normal registration. It was not in line with the case handling procedures for a random person to inform Bundy.
At this time Jason came over.
The young police officer immediately greeted:
"Good morning, Sir Jason."
"morning."
After Jason answered, he looked at the lady, restrained the instinct to swallow the saliva secreted rapidly in his mouth, and showed an extremely sincere smile:
