A Weird Theater That Started In London

"A two-bedroom room with a separate bathroom. The downside can be used for business. Is that heaven?"

　　 "But the rent is really high. I was on the street to help people wipe their shoes for a whole year, and the money saved was not enough to rent..."

　　 Mi Gao squeezed the newspaper in his hand, unable to hide the excitement in his tone, and pointed his fingers:

　　 He got six pence a day, and after deducting the cost of three meals, there would be about two pence left. In this way, he has been busy for a whole year, has no rest every day, and his business has been very good, so he can rent this place for two months.

　　 Of course, it does not count as the money saved in the special account for the help of the association.

　　 Thinking of this, Michael is a little nervous, how should he tell the chairman, will some of the money in the account be deducted?

　　 In addition, the luggage has not been packed yet, and it is all left with Father Tony. When will I pick it up?

　　All kinds of questions arose in my heart, but they couldn't hold back Migao's excitement and expectation.

　　 Be an apprentice, learn medicine while saving money, and when I reach adulthood, I will go to university and open a clinic in London.

　　 I have to say that this child has his own ideas, and he knew how to plan for the future.

　　 And Lu Li stood by, looking for the carriage. He had been walking for a long time. The faces he saw along the way were not ten thousand, but five thousand. He was a little bit reluctant, and he didn't want to walk in the crowd anymore.

　　 For social fears and road idiots, the fog of this era is not friendly at all. It only takes half an hour to walk on the street during the day, and it will be very crazy——

　　 Tired of countless public carriages, rental carriages, and freight carriages, tired of the endless noisy crowds, and worse, no matter where you go, how far you go, you can’t get out of the crowd.

"Baker Street."

　　 Finally, Lu Li stopped a neat looking carriage and wrapped it up.

　　 "Two shillings, sir."

　　 "Well, faster."

After 　　 asked, Lu Li took the young man Mi Gao into the semi-enclosed carriage.

　　 The car drove very steadily, except that the wind and small water droplets poured in from the crack in the broken roof of the car, and Michael couldn't help but shudder.

　　 Seeing this, Lu Li helped him lift the collar up.

　　 About two quarters later, the destination arrived.

　　The walls of white porcelain, the red roof, and the black-framed wooden doors with glass are one after another, all of which are uniform.

　　 Although the advertisement says that there is no private lawn, there is still a small area surrounded by three-sided iron railings in front of each room, next to the windows, for the residents to plant some things they like.

　　 The most important thing is that when stepping into this street, the whole world is quiet.

　　 "It's quieter than the Financial City..."

　　 Lu Li whispered. He liked this place very much, even if it didn't have the slightest resemblance to Baker Street in that world.

"Like it?"

With a hand on top of Mi Gao's head, he kept rubbing it, maybe it was pity, maybe it was close to his eyes, Lu Li really planned to use his free time in the next three months to teach this child well so that he can survive in the fog. .

　　 "I like it." Mi Gao nodded heavily.

　　 "When I rent the whole apartment, you can choose the room first, your own room."

　　 Talking, Lu Li came to Building No. 1 and opened the door to enter.

　　 "Mr. Jonny?"

　　 The person in charge of the reception is a middle-aged uncle. He is a stocky man with a waistcoat but no suit. He probably doesn't like tightness. After all, he is too straightforward, just like a groundhog in winter.

　　 "That's right."

　　 Jonny nodded, looked at Lu Li and Migao in confusion, and said to his heart: What combination is this?

　　 is mainly Mi Gao. He wears a red uniform distributed by the Shoe Shine Association. It is easy to be recognized. Baker Street is located in Westminster, West London. Most of the residents are middle-class, and there are few poor people.

　　 "I saw in the newspaper that there is a house for rent in this block, right?" Lu Li spread out the newspaper and pointed to the square where the advertisement was posted.

　　 "That's right."

Jonny glanced at the wolf head cane in Lu Li's hand, his attitude became cordial, and he took the initiative to extend his right hand, his mouth raised unconsciously, "The specific situation has been introduced in the newspaper, on the 23rd, very close here, two rooms bedroom."

　　 "It is spacious and well-ventilated, and the windows are opened very wide. As long as it is sunny, the indoor light must be sufficient..."

　　 As he said, he walked out of the house and enthusiastically invited: "You can go and have a look, it's cleaned up."

　　 Baker Street, No. 23.

　　 A townhouse, divided into four buildings a, b, c, d, the overall style is the same, or in other words, the style of the whole street is the same.

　　 "When I posted the newspaper, I didn't specifically say that every household actually has a small lawn of about four square yards. You can plant what you like."

　　 "The only downside is that there is probably no porch, facing the street."

　　 clicked.

　　 The door of the room opened from the outside, and the three of them filed in. As the landlord, Mr. Jonny continued to introduce:

　　 "This is the front office. The tenant was a dentist, but the craftsmanship was so bad that no one came to seek medical treatment. In the end, they had no choice but to leave. I heard that they moved to the Eastern District. The people there are not picky."

　　 The arrangement of fate?

　　 The former resident was a doctor, and his current identity is also a doctor.

　　 Behind him, Michael couldn't help exclaiming, "Mr. Lu is also a doctor."

　　 "What a coincidence! Forgive me for being blind, I didn't see your identity, pharmacist or surgeon?"

　　 It’s a bit presumptuous to ask, but it can be seen that Mr. Jonny doesn’t mean much, he is simply curious, "Or, internal medicine?"

　　 "Member of the Association of Surgeons, but I know a little bit about pharmacy and internal medicine." Lu Li said modestly based on the extra strange memory.

General?

　　 Mr. Jonny was taken aback for a moment, and he carefully looked at the ordinary Lu Li.

　　 In London, the group of doctors strictly abides by the three-level system. Physicians, surgeons, and pharmacists are lowered in rank and status, and each has its own association.

　　It’s just that, for the patient, this separation system can be called frenzied. Many symptoms require both internal and external treatment. Is it possible to ask three doctors at the same time?

　　 One is inside the treatment, the other is outside the treatment, and the other is responsible for dispensing the medicine. Let's not talk about the cost. Just getting these people together will take a lot of time. This situation may still occur:

　　 It was hard to get all the doctors in, but the patient lying inside did not hold on, so he took a step forward.

　　 Therefore, the concept of general practitioners was proposed, and all walks of life hope to break the traditional shackles and establish a new medical order led by general practitioners.

　　 Unfortunately, there are very few doctors who are proficient in many fields, and now they are still based on the old order.

　　 "I will ask Mr. Lu for the medical work in this neighborhood in the future."

　　 Jonny became more enthusiastic, with a solid hand on Lu Li's shoulders, as if he had already settled down here.

　　 As for the scam?

　　 Since Lu Li said that he is a member of the Association of Surgeons, it is impossible to cheat. This thing is true and false after investigation.

　　 "Look at the house first." Lu Li said reservedly.

　　 Hearing the words, Mr. Jonny stepped forward and began to introduce the layout of the house in detail, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

　　 Mi Gao is shining shoes on the street, and he has some skills in observing words and expressions. Because of this, he looks at Lu Li with admiration.

　　A knowledgeable person, no matter where he goes. They are all respected.

　　 "Because the previous resident was a dentist, the front hall was changed to a consulting room, followed by a kitchen and dining room, with a small bathroom."

　　 What catches the eye is the operating table. The main body is a wooden structure, part of the area is metal, and a kerosene lamp is hung on it for lighting.

　　 On the left is the waiting area, with sofas, tables, and matching cups and saucers on it.

　　 go in such a hurry?

　　 These things are not cheap.

　　 probably saw the doubts in Lu Ziqi, Mr. Jonny explained in a helpless tone:

"The dentist named Joseph signed a three-year rental contract, but he only gave two years of rent. Now the third year has passed nearly a month and a half. This guy still can’t pay the money. He has no choice but to take these. Equipment repayment."

　　 "To be honest, I know they are very valuable, but compared to liquidated damages, they are nothing at all, and it is a headache to dispose of these second-hand goods."

　　 Lu Li didn't say much about this, and nodded lightly to show that he knew it.

　　 In fact, he really wants to get these things. After all, he has the qualifications to practice medicine, and he still lacks tools——

　　 is not a pastor, and he can be cured by chanting a mantra.

　　 It's just that Lu Li is currently embarrassed, and his economic strength does not allow him to buy everything in front of him.

　　At the same time, Mr. Jonny opened the door leading to the back hall, "This is the kitchen, where you can put three pots, and comes with tools for grinding coffee."

　　 "You can think about it, in your free time waiting for the patient to come home, you are sitting on the sofa, holding a cup and saucer, tasting coffee, and placing a stack of newspapers next to it..."

　　 I have to say that this kind of life is indeed full of attractiveness. Michael's thoughts have followed. He likes ease, especially after the bumps in the street for a long time, and he is increasingly eager to stabilize.

　　 Lu Li did not interrupt Mr. Jonny’s introduction. After a long time, he said, "Go up and see?"

"Of course."

　　 Adhering to the principle of customer first, Jonny stepped up the stairs and could see that the red paint on the handrails was intact and no part of it came off.

　　咚......咚......咚......

　　 A group of three people came upstairs. The first floor is used for business, and here is the living area, the decoration is more elegant.

　　 It just so happened that the fog is full of sun today, and the dense fog has now dissipated. The sun shines through the windows into the large living room, making the furniture plated with pale gold.

　　 "Winter is coming soon, you can use this big fireplace to warm up." Jonny pointed to the living room by the fireplace, and said: "The hardwood upholstered chair, don't worry about catching fire."

　　 "There is the bathroom, which is divided into two floors, separated by a baffle. There is a large bathtub inside, and the outside is used for washing."

　　 "The toilet is next door. A flush toilet is installed, and the partition is also made. There is a small bathtub inside."

　　Speaking of this, Jonny couldn't help but look at the little friend Mi Gao who was making soy sauce all the way.

　　 A general practitioner, a shoe boy.

　　 How can these two have a connection?

　　 While he was thinking, Lu Li walked to the smaller room.

　　 About 20 square meters, four windows were opened, beds, wardrobes, tables, and even bookshelves were placed, but they were empty, with only four or five books lying crookedly.

　　 It was probably worthless, and was left behind by the doctor Joseph as rubbish.

　　 "The balcony is in this master bedroom, where you can dry your clothes, and when the sun is good, you can move out a small table and have afternoon tea."

　　 After finishing speaking, Mr. Jonny standing outside stopped talking and said so many things at once. He was really tired, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead and waited for Lu Li to make a decision.

　　 First of all, the name Baker Street comes with legendary attributes, and you will definitely gain something to live here.

　　 Secondly, Lu Li is more nostalgic and once lived here.

　　 Finally, the house is really good. Whether it is lighting, furniture, or decoration, it suits your appetite.

　　 "Sir, can it be cheaper? I just came back from Atlantic City. To tell you, I'm a little nervous on hand." Lu Li was also sincere and told him frankly.

　　 "Well, the rent will not change. It will still be 12 shillings a week, but the furniture usage fee will be waived."

Mr. Jonny regretted going out too quickly and didn't bring his cane. He supported the square table in the living room and added: "In addition, young and promising doctors like you are very welcome on Baker Street, so the deposit can also be discussed. "

　　 Aside, Michael is silent.

　　 This is not a situation where he can intervene, but it is not difficult to see that both parties hope to conclude this transaction.

　　 Finally, the two negotiated the business.

　　Lu Li took out two months' rent, which was five pounds as a deposit, and drafted a six-month rental contract. Since the date of signing, he will pay 12 shillings of rent to Mr. Jonny every week.

　　 The weekly settlement model may seem unfamiliar, but in this era, it is indeed very popular.

　　 Then, they found a local notary and signed face to face.

　　 Later, Lu Li got a bunch of copper keys. Hearing the crisp sound of the collision, he couldn't help but ripple in his heart:

　　 finally got a foothold in the fog.

　　 "Sir, is this a dream?"

　　 Looking at the background of the landlord Uncle Jonny’s departure, Mi Gao's voice is low and hazy, and he seems to be worried that the voice is too loud and wakes himself up.

Hearing that, Lu Li took the backup key into his hand and smiled: "Of course not~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Young man, I will leave it to you for dinner today. Go and buy something on the street. There are a lot of things to do tomorrow. Deal with it."

　　 was handed over along with it. It was a silver coin, enough for the two of them to have a good dinner.

　　 After a long time, the young man nodded his head heavily, then, clutching the dinner money Lu Li handed him, he ran outside.

　　 The quiet street in front of my eyes, the wind blowing freely in my ears, and the home behind me.

　　 Miko feels that he has come to heaven.

　　……

　　 night.

　　 The fireplace on the second floor emits a soft light, and the smoke drifts outward along the chimney.

　　 "Sir, this is my present for you."

　　 Meter-high paddling his feet, he pushed a small box that was simply packed in front of Lu Li.

　　 "Do you want to tear it down now?"

"Of course."

　　 In response to Lu Li’s smile, the young man raised his head slightly, looking forward to it.

　　 "You came back an hour late, just to buy it?" Lu Li asked, smiling even more on his face.

　　 "That's right, you can take a look at it quickly."

　　 In the sound of urging, Lu Li untied the rope and slowly opened the package.

Inside the 　　 gift box is a brand new deerstalker hat with blue and gray stripes, which is very warm to the touch.

　　 I didn't expect it to be this.

　　 Lu Li took off his old hat that had some pilling, put it on without hesitation, and habitually rubbed his short, fluffy chestnut hair.

　　 This kid probably used up all his savings...
