Chapter 201 Looking for a job and making a lot of money at once
The floor where the room is located is on the third floor of the hotel.
The space is neither big nor small, about sixty square meters.
Wooden beams, chandeliers, wooden floors, fireplaces and elegant decorations made Lu Qi feel a strong Victorian style as soon as he walked into the room.
Living room, bedroom, bathroom, and all the furniture needed for daily life are also available.
When he came to the window and looked out, Lu Qi could just see the scenery on the street.
"Lord Mars, are you satisfied with this room?"
"Yes, I like this room very much."
Turning around, Lu Qi looked at the hotel manager at the door, and then said:
"Well, Mr. Dickinson, I need to wash up. If possible, can you ask the hotel clerk to help me go out and buy some clean clothes and prepare some food by the way?"
"Of course! I'm more than happy to help you."
After silently writing down what Lu Qi needed, and then roughly confirming Lu Qi's body size, the hotel manager said:
"Please wait a moment, I will send someone to handle it immediately."
"Thank you, you are very friendly."
"This is my honor and the hospitality of this hotel. Mr. Mars, I hope you can spend a good time here..."
"I will."
Stretching out his hand and shaking Lu Qi's hand politely, the hotel manager wisely exited the room and closed the door behind him, leaving Lu Qi alone.
After a while, the hotel clerk brought two buckets of boiling hot water into the room.
When I came to the bathroom, I took off my clothes and scrubbed my whole body with hot water. It was like experiencing the unique bathing method of the Victorian era.
When he finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom with only a bath towel wrapped around his lower body, he found that the things he requested had been placed on the coffee table in the living room.
After changing into clean clothes, a pair of leather boots, and a British-style black windbreaker, Lu Qi, who had a new look, picked up the oil paper bag containing bread, cheese, bacon, and milk and left the room.
When we arrived at the hotel door, the coachman who had collected the fare in advance had long disappeared.
Lu Qi didn't care about this, he just hailed another carriage and drove towards the hospital...
It was already half an hour later when we returned to the hospital.
Hospitals in this era are full of bacteria. In order not to eat all these germs, Lu Qi called Connor to the courtyard of the hospital, found a bench and sat down, and then started to enjoy the food.
"No, you can choose what you want to eat."
After taking the oil paper bag and opening it, Connor couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect Lu Qi to buy so much food at once.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a piece of wheat bread and a small piece of cheese from the bag.
Seeing the cheese sandwiched in the bread and eating it with big mouthfuls, Lu Qi reached into the bag and took out a can of milk in a glass bottle.
After opening the lid and handing the milk to the boy, Lu Qi said like a kind elder:
"You are still growing, so you need to drink more milk."
Hearing this, Connor, who had a bulging mouth like a little squirrel, raised his head and looked at Lu Qi, then obediently took the milk and drank it in small sips.
Seeing this, Lu Qi nodded happily, and then began to enjoy his portion of lunch.
While eating wheat bread and bacon from more than a hundred years ago, Lu Qi did not forget to ask about the family situation of the two Connor brothers, such as where their parents went, where their hometown is, whether they have any relatives, etc...
Regarding Lu Qi's problems, Connor said everything he knew.
Connor's full name is Connor Woodburn, and Alice's name is Alice Woodburn.
The Woodburn siblings are twelve and ten years old, and their hometown is Southampton, about dozens of kilometers away from London.
Their mother died of dystocia when she was giving birth to Alice.
Their father is a businessman.
A year ago, when I brought my two brothers and sisters to London for business, they were robbed by gang members.
In order to protect the children and goods, their father was accidentally killed, leaving the two children without support and living on the streets.
In order to support himself and take care of his sister, Connor began to wander the streets and became a pickpocket...
Even though he had to pay protection fees to the mob every month, he could still barely let himself and his sister survive in this city by relying on sneakiness.
However, my sister's illness suddenly plunged the family, which was already struggling, into a desperate situation.
"...If Mr. Mars hadn't helped you, Alice might have..."
Having said this, the boy with his head lowered suddenly raised his head, stared at Lu Qi closely with his firm eyes, and said extremely seriously:
"So, I decided that from now on I will be your servant. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will always be loyal to you!"
Seeing that Connor didn't look like he was joking at all, Lu Qi found it even more funny.
Lu Qi reached out and touched his head, messing up the boy's blond hair again. Lu Qi smiled and said:
"Connor, I don't need a servant, and I don't need you to be loyal to me forever. You are already working for me, have you forgotten?"
Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but be startled, his little face full of doubts:
"Well?"
"You are my guide! Your main job is to help me get familiar with this city. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Lord Mars!"
"You don't have to call me that, just call me Alex."
"Okay, Sir Alex!"
Hearing this, Lu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the young man's serious look, opened his mouth, but still did not correct him.
"By the way, the thugs already know where you live, so I rented a room for us in a nearby hotel. From now on, you and Alice can live with me!"
Connor, who had already assumed the role of the little follower, had no objection and nodded directly:
"Yes, Sir Alex."
Already aware of Connor's little stubbornness, Lu Qi had no choice but to hold his forehead. In order to change the subject, he had to ask:
"By the way, if I want to find a job, what do you think I can do? Preferably something that can make a lot of money at once..."
Although the high-profit job of beating up gangs of thugs and robbing the rich and giving to the poor is very suitable for him. However, before he understands the enemy's power and energy, it is not a wise choice to risk his life to offend a gang that is said to be the largest in London.
In order to adapt to this strange era and strange city, live well, and take good care of his two brothers and sisters, he needs money.
A large sum of money that can keep him and his brother and sister well-fed!
Hearing Lu Qi's question, Connor lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he thought of something, his eyes lit up and he said:
