Canned soup is one of the greatest inventions the world has ever seen, and once one side is pried open, half-cooked canned soup is one of the best foods ever.
People who had experienced World War I would store some canned food at home as emergency food;
In addition to tasting quite good, the price is also relatively cheap, so canned food has gradually changed from military reserves to civilian food ingredients.
It is very easy to make soup by adding water, or to make pasta sauce by adding milk and cornstarch, or to season risotto.
Yudekao cooked a big pot of fusilli and poured the white mushroom seafood soup on it as a sauce to fill the emptiness in his stomach.
The only side effect of this convenient spell seems to be that it will put you in a state of hunger after using it. This side effect can be easily solved by carrying compressed biscuits and water with you, and it will not attract any attention.
It was just that Yudekao began to doubt his own beliefs at this time.
Why did his belief, the almighty God of Light, never show miracles in front of his devout believers
And why would the nameless god in ragged yellow clothes mentioned in the memory grant divine power just by reciting his spell? He is truly a generous god.
Unconsciously, Yudekao's faith began to waver, and his subconscious admiration made the image of the Yellow God become majestic in his heart.

Ulm City Hospital
"Hey, did you hear? Yesterday, the Sixth Security Team went to look for Dr. Yudekao alone. What was they doing there?"
The little nurse with freckles on her face asked the fat nurse.
"I heard from others that he went to ask Doctor Youdekao for a picture album, an Oriental picture album. I guess it's the kind of thing that stinky men like. I just didn't expect that the Sixth Security Team would be so strict?"
The fat nurse said.
"But...didn't Dr. Mori, the male doctor, say that Dr. Yudekao was no longer good?"
The young nurse confirmed to the fat nurse foolishly.
The fat nurse looked at the little yellow-haired girl and said,
"Hey, all men are bad. Lust is natural."
"Good morning, ladies."
The sudden voice came from You Dekao, who had just arrived at work to clock in and pick up medical equipment.
By chance, You Dekao overheard the discussion between the two chattering people. He forced himself to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and smile.
Suppressing his anger, Yudekao chose to greet and smile politely, but he was complaining in his heart,
"These two-faced and chattering female nurses are so annoying! That nagging Dr. Mori! I really regret why I went to discuss this with him!"
He recalled that he had asked Dr. Mori about this, but it was known to everyone in the hospital, and he was furious.
But at this moment, there was a call from the ward.
"Doctor, come quickly. The patient in bed 607 is about to give birth. Her water has broken!"
Yudekao put aside his personal grudges and rushed towards the delivery room, shouting,
"Get hot water ready! Rubber gloves! If you haven't disinfected them yet, go now!"
Hermann was sitting in a café, opposite a few businessmen.
It seemed that they were discussing some matters regarding the import and export of goods in Umr City, and Elphis was also present as a representative of the trading company.
“I believe that in the near future,
Electrical appliances will become everyday common goods that every household can afford.
Electrical appliances will become popular on a large scale.
From high society to the homes of the general public,
It has become a necessity of life.”
Herman said confidently.
Elphis nodded and responded,
"I remember seeing the electric light technology from England developed by Dr. Edison at Mr. Herman's house a few days ago.
This has not been widely promoted in Ummr City yet, and I believe there is a huge business opportunity here.”
The others nodded, but one of the old men raised his voice and said,
"This is indeed a huge business opportunity, and I believe it can bring us good returns, but how to distribute the profit margins is still worth discussing."
Others agreed, but Herman raised a question.
“It’s indeed a huge business opportunity.
Umr City is an excellent experimental base.
The almost medieval life can no longer meet people's needs, and the popularization of electrification is an inevitable trend.
I can lay the groundwork for you in Ummr and be responsible for communicating with the municipal authorities.
But the production of electric lights and the patents involved will become obstacles to our progress.
Does anyone here have a way to contact Edison Electric Company? "①
"Channels are not a problem, it only costs a few gold marks.
We can obtain the agency rights for Umur City to use the patent, and our Daying Trading Company can be fully responsible for it."
Elphis responded.
Everyone felt relieved when they heard this. Patent disputes are often accompanied by huge losses and will cause certain damage to the company's reputation.
"Gentlemen,
I will bring the specific terms and information next time.
If everyone has no questions for now, we can adjourn the meeting.
When the information reaches me, I will send someone to deliver it to your homes.
Let's just settle the time and place of the next gathering, okay?"
After Elphis finished speaking, everyone agreed and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Hermann, please stay," said Elphis.
Herman sat down upon hearing this and responded,
"Mr. Elphis, is there anything else?"
"Oh, no hurry, do you want another cup of coffee
The flavor of the Mandheling coffee here is quite good.”
After saying this, Elphis called the waiter and ordered two glasses of Mandheling.
"It's just a small talk. I wanted to ask about your Albert. He was very cute the last time I saw him."
Elphis explained.
Herman thought of his own children and responded with a smile on his face.
“Albert is very good and enjoys listening to Kirk play the piano every day.
Maybe the child has inherited his mother's musical talent and can develop into a musician or artist in the future."
"Oh, that's very good. Didn't Mr. Hermann show him some picture books or something?"
Elphis smiled tentatively.
"I asked my servant to get some children's picture books from the art dealer.
The little one would laugh out loud every time he saw it.
Apart from the piano, there were a few picture books in my hands.
Huh? Mr. Elphis, why are you interested in this?"
After Hermann finished speaking, he felt a little doubtful.
Alphis noticed Herman's vigilance and explained,
"Alas, I have been childless for a long time. My beloved wife has also been away from me for a long time. I miss her very much.
I have no intention of remarrying, so I want to adopt Albert as my adopted son. Do you agree?"
Elphis's behavior was a test and a foreshadowing of his intention to stay near the Hermann family for a long time.
Elphis paid a lot to do all this.
As a priest of the Yellow Group, Elphis once received a strange instruction from the upper echelons.
And it must be a strictly enforced order: guide Albert Einstein of Umr City into the mysterious side.
Albert was not born at that time, and the only clues came from the city of Umhur and the surname Einstein.
As a devout member of the Yellow Group, Elphis used his identity as a businessman and obtained an assignment to come to the city of Umr in a legitimate way.
The people at Daying Commercial Bank were very surprised.
He had been based in the head office of Daying Commercial Bank for a long time and was regarded as a rising star.
Elphis, who could have competed for the leadership position, actually took the initiative to ask for a transfer.
We went to the city of Umr, which seemed to be a remote and poor place.
His sudden action surprised everyone.
Competitors opened champagne to celebrate the departure of this powerful opponent, while trainers sighed sadly.
The reason why Elphis chose to transfer to Umr City was very simple.
That is to visit and take care of his eldest nephew, Philip Rice.
At first, Elphis's cultivator offered him a chance to take a vacation and go back to visit his family.
But Elphis said righteously that the child was in a rebellious period and needed a noble gentleman to educate him.
The alcoholic father will only lead the child astray.
Seeing that Elphis was so persistent, he took the initiative to make such a request.
The headquarters approved his transfer application, but gave Elphis certain authority to operate the purchase, sale and investment in the city of Umr.
Hermann was somewhat tempted by the proposal. If a gentleman with noble character and elegant temperament were to be the godfather of the child,
It will provide a lot of help to the child's future development, and the child will actively imitate the strengths of those around him.
Hermann replied:
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Elphis.
I need to go back and discuss this with Kirk, and give you a detailed answer at the next gathering. Is that okay with you?"
"Wise decision, Mr. Herman. It's getting late, shall we go back?"
Elphis looked at his pocket watch and said.
The two paid the bill and left.
On the way back in the carriage, Elphis felt a wave of anxiety in his heart.
He was very conflicted. During the last banquet, he sneaked into Hermann's study and deliberately left the script of the Yellow Book.
He is well aware of the charm of the Yellow Book script.
It is a magical attraction that ordinary people simply cannot resist.
They will only take the initiative to open it, accept the charm of the King in Yellow, and become the most loyal believer of the King in Yellow.
As soon as you open and read the contents of the script, you will be quietly influenced by your subconscious mind and actively seek power from the mysterious side.
Did Hermann open the script or had it been taken away by a servant
Elphis was very conflicted at this time. Transcribing the script of the Yellow Book was not an easy task. It took him five full years to complete the manuscript, and he paid a huge price for it.
Elphis remembered the price he paid last time, that bloody price, and burst into hysterical laughter.
The coachman sitting outside the carriage and driving the horses looked sideways and thought,
The host probably made another big deal.
He continued to drive the horse silently back to the manor that Elphis had bought when he first arrived in Umr City.
The Gothic architecture matched with the French courtyard makes it possible to see the difference of this place from a distance. This place originally belonged to a down-and-out nobleman, but because the nobleman was addicted to gambling, the deed to the manor soon appeared on the gambling table.
With the operation of the casino, the manor was bought by Elphis at a super value price after several failures in the auction and became his residence.
