Vol 5 Chapter 165: Answer without answer

After sniffing the smell, send the dog away.
Zheng Qing then turned his head and pondered the business situation in the store.
He has long noticed the sparse'staff' in the shop today-even if there are no customers, the shop assistants shouldn't leave their desks.
"What about people?"
The young shopkeeper twisted his fingers, tapped on the wooden tabletop of the bar, sternly, and asked Hank, who was always immersed in his accounts, "What about the clerk? What about those cats and mice? I remember there should be three cats and four in the store. A mouse in a vest."
Hank, who was born in the Qingqiu Mansion, always cares about etiquette.
Hearing the shopkeeper’s question, he stopped his work and replied politely:
As you can see, they are not here today... You can’t expect some cats to stay in the shop honestly and help you receive guests. . After all, they are just a few cats who can’t speak...but there is a yellow lily who can only speak, and his temper is worse than that of the eldest lady. If one day it doesn’t wave its paws to scratch the guests, it’s already thank God."
There was a bit of resentment in these words.
Of course, whoever is responsible for the work in the store, the boss does not send people, but sends a group of animals to serve as shop assistants, he has reasons to express his dissatisfaction.
"Well, I mean'eldest lady' in general." Hank suddenly remembered something, the big tail behind him bounced like a feather duster, wiped the shelf behind him, and added: "Not specifically... You know."
There are a few eldest ladies Zheng Qing knows, but the only one who can make Hanke so cautious is the owner of the Qingqiu Mansion.
He blinked, meaning he wouldn't chew his tongue.
"Well, since the cat is not there, what about the mouse?" the young public-sponsored student reminded: "Those mice in vests, I remember the names are Ding Dong Ears and Ding Dong Ears, right, aren't they very clever?"
"Temporarily asked for leave, saying there is something in the family."
"what's up?"
"I'm just an accountant, not their insurance, sir."
"...In other words, you are the only employee in the store right now?"
Hanke didn't speak, just spread his hands, looked around, the meaning was very clear.
Zheng Qing coughed dryly: "Then... they didn't say when they would come back?"
"No. After all, we have never paid them, nor signed a formal employment agreement." Hank replied calmly: "So, when they want to leave, we have no right to stop them."
Zheng Qing nodded rather embarrassedly.
In order to save a little cost, he chose to let cats, mice and foxes help in the store. The fox was sent by the Qingqiu Mansion. It was supposed to supervise the transaction with the rat tribe. In fact, it was Su Shijun who prevented other people from the Council of the Moon from going to the store to make trouble; the rats wearing vests were sent by the rat tribe and were responsible for the goods of the rat tribe. They were sold on consignment in the store; as for the cats, it was purely a show-off. At that time, because of a certain announcement, the school became popular in trading mice and carnivorous beetles. Zheng Qing asked those cats to take care of the shop Living thing.
"If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first."
Lin Guo, who had been staying next to him, finally couldn't stand the boring conversation between one person and one fox. She carried her little schoolbag and said goodbye to Zheng Qing: "Too much time was wasted outside today. I have to go back to the castle and review. Homework."
Zheng Qing was relieved-he didn't know how to answer Hanke's words just now, and Lin Guo's interruption was really life-saving-so he nodded pretendingly: "Well, learning is still very important. Go back soon..."
Then Hank turned his head and rushed behind the bar and said, "I have to go back to review soon for the final exam next week. Things in the store will trouble you. If Ding Dong ears or Ding Dong ears come back, tell them that the store is willing to follow them. Sign a formal contract."
"This is really good news." The male fox murmured, nodded, and noted the boss's words in the account book.
Zheng Qing worried about hearing any more troubles, so he pushed Lin Guo and walked out of D&K.
He sighed slightly when he left the store.
Then I remembered that I had other things to do.
"Well, it's okay for you to go back to Fort Alpha by yourself." He lowered his head and pressed Linguo's head.
The little wizard turned his head in disdain, not letting him touch: "I have been running around between the town and the school since I was eight, and I can go back with my eyes closed!"
...
...
After parting with Lin Guo, Zheng Qing made a change to the Jini hut. He and Liu Feifei made an appointment to meet at the Cherry Blossom Tavern. Because Nicholas wanted to learn the skills of using the curse seal from Kolma, Liu Feifei simply arranged today's study room in an empty tavern.
Since Colmar became the Great Sage of the North District, the Sakura Tavern has never been opened to the public.
But Zheng Qing asked Liu Feifei for the slough of her pet snake. According to Liu Feifei, the big snake shed its skin once after entering the school, and Zheng Qing hoped that there was still the breath of a faceless demon on it.
Yes, Zheng Qing also handed the big snake to the dog to find the faceless demon who had been missing for a long time~EbookFREE.me~ Maybe because Zheng Qing had always been wary, maybe it was just because the sky was still bright. In the evening on this trip to the North District, Zheng Qing did not encounter any trouble and got the snake slough from Liu Feifei smoothly.
Originally, he wanted to visit Senior Sister Colmar on the way, but when he heard that she was teaching the wizards of the North District, he dispelled the idea.
As for the snake slough, Zheng Qing intends to wait for the dog to find the trace of the black goat and hand it to it immediately. Let it not be idle, follow yourself like a pervert all day.
...
Because you have been searching for the crime for a long time, and have not found the trace of the black sheep, Zheng Qing thought that this time the dog would also waste a lot of time. But on Wednesday night, when Zheng Qing and his companions returned to the dormitory from the library, they saw the dog squatting at the door of the dormitory.
Between its two front legs, there is a small tuft of black wool.
It was completely different from the black hair of the glass bottle provided by Lin Guo, but Zheng Qing could guess at a glance that it was the hair of the black goat.
"Did you find it?"
The dog nodded.
"Why didn't you bring it back?" Zheng Qing felt that the dog could bite and bring back even a top registered wizard. There was no reason why he couldn't bring back a black goat.
The dog whimpered, his head nodded and shaken, as if the meaning he wanted to express was very complicated.
"Come slowly, come slowly." Zheng Qing stretched out his hand to stop his dog whisper, pondered for a moment, and guessed: "You mean, you found the black goat, but you couldn't bring it back for some reason... Then You can take us to find it, right?"
The dog was sticking his tongue out, and his head lit up and down hard.
"How do you understand such a complicated meaning?!" The fat man murmured behind Zheng Qing: "Didn't he whine twice? I remember you are a cat!"
Zheng Qing sternly did not answer the fat man's words.
