"The water temperature is 40 degrees Celsius."

"The water temperature is 38 degrees Celsius."

"The water temperature is 36 degrees Celsius."

An electronic female voice reports the temperature of the water in the square ceramic washbasin at intervals.

The white venetian blinds of the two huanghuali wooden windows are only half down, and you can see the crabapple in the courtyard below. The branches hang down like willows, and the flowers are as light as spring, which makes the bathroom space look elegant and accessible.

A white porcelain bathtub sits next to one window, and an LCD screen above the wall shows the status of the bathroom.In front of another window is a glass shower room, next to the bathtub, opposite to the wooden cabinet style washstand.The wooden cabinets and window frames are also light yellow pear wood, the mirror hangs above it like a large photo frame, and a bud lamp hangs from each side of the wooden frame.The faint water vapor covers the mirror surface, making the portraits blurred.

Everything in the room looks refined and elegant, just like its neat and beautiful appearance, but it is all appearance...

Su Shi was washing his hair, rubbing a pile of foam on his head with both hands, as if wearing a fluffy and soft white headgear.He reached out to drain the already cold water and found a button next to the faucet.

With each click an electronic female voice reports:

"The water temperature is set at 37 degrees Celsius."

"The water temperature is set at 38 degrees Celsius."

Su tried to put his head under the faucet, but the sensor faucet didn't respond.He stretched out his hand and patted the metal faucet, and there was a "cough-huh-huh" sound like spitting, and then spit out a drop of water.

Su Shi hurriedly went to pick up the dry towel beside him, but he couldn't do anything.

The bubble on the top of the head took the opportunity to slide down...

"Lina—!" He hurriedly touched the door and shouted, "Come and save me!"

There were pattering footsteps in the corridor, and the girl Lina hurried over wiping her apron with her hands.

Su Shi felt that his head was wrapped in a towel, and he instinctively lowered his body following Lina's strength.

Lina brushed his hair back to the back of his head, and then rubbed it like rubbing the fur of a puppy, and the white foam like beer bubbles made a slight crackling sound on the top of his head.

"Eyes, eyes..."

He tried to grab a corner of the towel and rub his eyes, which were scorched by shampoo, Lena threw away the towel, led him to the bathtub, and showered him with the shower.

Su tried to slowly open his eyes, making sure that the pain was gone, wiped the water off his face, and wiped his face with the towel placed by the bathtub.

The way he wiped his face with a towel gave Lina the illusion that she was watching a towel advertisement——

"Tenderly care for the skin, and accompany you tenderly."

She even thought out the words of the ad.

But seeing the master's contented expression, Lina was relieved for him.

For a moment, she inexplicably thought of a cat that had fallen, pretended nothing had happened, and licked its paws gracefully, but she quickly discarded these thoughts.

"Great, I forgot again."

Su Shi smiled at his own luck, "Fortunately, you are right next to you."

Lina said, "Should we fix it?"

She looked at the washbasin with dissatisfaction, as if she was a strict head maid, and she looked at a rash little maid under her reproachfully.

"It's time to fix it." Su Shi hung the towel on the white handrail of the glass shower room on one side. Without this handrail, this clear and transparent glass bathroom room would be almost unnoticeable.

Lina remembered something, tilted her head and thought, "Last time I asked the repair company to check the power in the house... The budget is about 50 gold coins."

"..."

Su Shi turned his head and looked at the green grass on the ground outside the window through the transparent glass wall of the shower room. Then, as if he suddenly came to his senses, he said to Lina, "Let's forget about this for a while, shall we?"

Su Shi went to the cloakroom to change.Suit suit suit shirt shirt suit suit shirt shirt...that was his wardrobe.horrible.Lina hangs clothes on Sue’s terrace where the coffee table is set up—the sunniest place, she says—and then rushes to clean the first-floor lobby.She is a very hardworking and tidy girl.

The stereo in the hall was turned on by Lina, playing Su Shi's favorite "Ma□□naDoSwierkania".Lina wiped every corner of the furniture carefully, and when she was tired, she held the rag and kicked it in the hall.

Su Shi's footsteps were like a gust of light wind, sweeping down the straight-down mahogany ladder, and suddenly turned around in front of her, dancing with her to the rhythm.

The two turned their backs and turned around their shoulders, without any physical contact, and danced a simple dance with staggered steps.

At the beginning, they could still see some dance steps, but in the end, they turned into stepping on each other's feet. In the sneak attack and dodge, they also formed a kind of nervous and exciting dance.

The holographic ring flickered for a moment, and a memo popped up, prompting the itinerary.

Lina looked at the sky, it was eight o'clock in the evening, it was already very late:

"Are you coming back tonight?"

"I'm not sure. If you don't come back before ten o'clock, you can rest first and don't wait for me."

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Mino."

Su Shi had already taken two steps outside, and turned around to give Lina a chest stroking with a shallow bow:

"Goodbye, and good night in advance."

Without waiting for Lina's response, he turned around and quickly walked out of the gate of the villa.

As he walked, the light green light screen always appeared in front of him. Su tried to open the intelligent operation software of the floating car, and after the fingerprint was unlocked, he stood there and waited for a while.The unmanned low-altitude suspension car drove from the garage to him along the best route.

Although the car can drive automatically after setting a destination, Su Shi prefers the feeling of driving manually.

He likes the feeling that he can control the rhythm of his progress.

As the car speeds, the height of the buildings in the field of vision is gradually decreasing.The well-planned urban streets have gradually turned into more varied winding small roads.

Su Shi parked the car in front of a bakery called "Papa Roger".

The coffee-colored storefront is not big, and the aroma of toasted bread comes from inside.The store is divided into two areas. On one side are fresh-keeping cabinets displaying various breads and desserts and a wooden cashier counter. Menu light screens are placed on the walls; on the other side are several smoked wooden tables. several paintings.

There was no one at the checkout counter, but someone was already sitting in the customer area.

A man with medium-length curly hair is sitting at one of the brown coffee-colored wooden tables, enjoying the food on the table——

Sheep blood pudding, comfrey sweet blood juice, baked blood bean cake.

When the crisp doorbell rang, the curly-haired man continued to enjoy his dessert without any response.He was wearing a white shirt and a black striped suit vest, and his coat was hanging on a chair. He had prominent cheekbones on his pale face, and with slightly drooping lip lines, his face gave off a vicious look.Behind him stood two blood races with the same pale complexion, with their hands behind their backs, following Su Shi with an indifferent gaze since he entered the door.

Su Shi pulled out the chair and sat across from him, opened the menu on the table and flipped through——

Most of them are non-staple foods such as desserts, drinks, and pizza that humans like. Although the prices are slightly higher, they are also worthy of the exquisite decoration of the store.However, Su Shi noticed that the price of the "Blood Dessert" placed at the end was ridiculously high——

Sheep blood pudding, 10 gold coins.

Comfrey sweet blood juice, 5 gold coins.

Baked blood bean cake, 15 gold coins.

...That is to say, the things on the table now cost 3 yuan.

Su Shi chuckled, he had no doubt that the money would be left to him to pay, but in the end it would flow into the other party's pocket.

“Desserts here are good,”

The black curly-haired man took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "I highly recommend you."

Su Shi said: "Lord Hersey, I'm afraid I don't have time to enjoy the delicious food here, and if you don't give me the money for the 20 boxes of Latour lamb's blood and the two boxes of 'Fun' blood, I'm afraid the next four days I haven't had a good meal for months."

"Shepherd", half-human, half-goat, is used by the blood race to refer to human beings.

However, since the implementation of the "Human Blood Sales Act", human blood products have become very rare and therefore very expensive.Even human beings who voluntarily sell their own blood must go to an authoritative institution for a "blood test" and obtain a "blood transfer license" before they can go to regular stores to sell blood.

A person has only one opportunity for a "blood test" per month, and each "blood transfer permit" is one-time.Therefore, "Munshen Water" is different from other animal "rose water". Every bottle of "Munshen Water" will be marked with at least one official number from the "Blood Transfer License". Once the "Munshen Water" with this number is sold , the number will be canceled immediately on the official website.

"Blood test" will also provide human blood grade assessment, so that both buyers and sellers can know the quality of blood.

Baron Hussey leaned his broad shoulders back, pressed a broad hand on the table, with a ring inlaid with green agate on his thumb, and the other four fingers patted the table rhythmically.

"You're embarrassing my party-throwing friends by mixing them with faults," said Baron Hussey. If you got noodle soup with cockroaches or hairs or other mysteries in it at a human restaurant, you think you'd choose to refuse to pay Or let the boss compensate for his negligence?

Maybe you will say that this is just an accidental and unexpected deterioration... You merchants always have various excuses, but fortunately, our vampires always know more about blood than you humans. "

Baron Hussey stopped tapping his fingers. A blood bodyguard behind him put a cup on the table, and the other took out a bottle of "rose water" with the logo of "Mino Blood Shop" on the cap, and opened the bottle cap on the spot , poured 1/3 cup of viscous blood.

"..."

Baron Hussey made a "please" gesture.

Su Shi pulled the glass of "rose water" in front of him, then raised the crystal glass, tilted and turned the glass to see how the blood flowed in the glass.

"Hemolysis [1]," Su Shi smiled slightly, "Perhaps due to some unexpected circumstances, this bottle of blood was placed in an overheated place, or it was 'accidentally' violently shaken."

Su Shi put down the wine glass, his fingers still loosely gripping the stem of the glass.

"It will take no more than three days for our 'whole blood' products to be transported from Xuezhuang to Feiseli. The store stores all fresh blood in wooden barrels made of 'blood-sucking wood' from the planet Lafayette, which can The best freshness of the blood can be maintained within half a year, and there is no need to add anticoagulants. This batch of goods will be bottled on the same day, and will be delivered to you by an insurance vehicle on the same day. If the vehicle insulation system fails, or there is a severe shock on the road, Then the whole lot is going to go wrong, not just a few 'defectives'."

"Whole blood" means fresh blood.

"Whole blood food" is relative to "blood powder food" with purified ingredients, which needs to be blended with plasma when eating.Whole blood is generally stored, and the shelf life is only about one month, while the shelf life of plasma and blood powder can exceed one year.

"In order to ensure the quality, I personally checked every barrel of blood before opening. I have great trust in my products," Su Shi said, "Maybe you should ask your friend to ask his servant."

"Did you not understand the situation? There is a problem with your stuff, and now I don't decide to pursue you... But you told me that there is a problem with your product, and I should self-examine instead of questioning you?" He Xi turned over the hand on the table—a broad and strong hand with hard nails—looking aimlessly at the lines on the palm, and raised his eyes again after falling, a pair of deep and black eyes under the thick eyebrows Shen's eyes stared at Su Shi.

"But questioning is just questioning. If you want to question the crime, you should report it to the food safety department and apply for arbitration." Su Shi looked into Baron Hussey's eyes, smiled, and said slowly, "Please in your rights Ask me within the scope."

If the previous words are still trying to explain, the last sentence is not welcome.

"I have a few friends in the Food Safety Department, I remember you have only been here for less than half a year, right?"

Baron Hussey took out a cigarette and lit it, leaning his broad back on the back of the chair again, "You probably don't know that if someone from the Ministry of Food and Safety checks out that there is something wrong with your food, you will have to suspend business for more than a month... If it is serious, the business license may be revoked.”

Loss of turnover and reputation, coupled with unsalable products...

"If it's really a problem with my shop, then I must find out the cause of the problem and solve it. Otherwise, wouldn't I meet Baron Hedong and Baron Hebei again? You say yes, Baron Hersey ?” The corner of Su Shi’s mouth curled into a smile that was not a smile.

How dare a mere human being talk to him in a mocking tone!I really don't know how to live or die!

"...Okay," Baron Hussey squeezed the cigarette out of his mouth with his left hand, and laughed along with him. He raised his index finger with his right hand on the table and pointed in the direction of Su Shi. His eyes were dark and his smile was not expressive. Fundus, "Since this is the case, let me show you..."

The two blood youths behind him pulled out their daggers, which were covered with silver-plated patterns.

"...my 'scope of rights'."
