"Okay, I will choose some slaves like this for you to choose from."
The middle-aged man immediately went to make arrangements.
Soon, a dozen women stood in a row for Li Changsheng to choose.
These women were all thinly dressed, and in this relatively cold season, all of them were shivering with cold.
They are of different ages, some are thirteen or fourteen years old, some are in their twenties or thirties, and some are in their forties or fifties.
As for the appearance, they all have ordinary appearance. There are really beautiful female slaves who have been bought by others long ago and will not be left here for him to choose.
"This, this, and this!"
Li Changsheng selected several women in their thirties who were relatively strong and capable of working.
"Master Warrior, these three women are worth 3 taels of silver, 2 taels of silver, and 4 taels of silver respectively. Just pay a total of 9 taels of silver!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
9 taels of silver buys three people. This price is really too cheap.
A pound of sucrose can be sold for more than ten taels of silver, which means that these people are not as valuable as a pound of sucrose.
Li Changsheng had no sympathy for these slaves, as this was the world where the jungle prevailed.
"You three, come with me!"
Li Changsheng said.
"yes!"
The three women nodded fearfully.
They don't know what their fate will be in the future, and they still have a little hope in their hearts, as long as their life is better than in the slave market.
soon.
Li Changsheng brought the three women to Changyue Sugar Shop and introduced them to his sister-in-law.
Chen Yuelian felt sorry for them and immediately bought thick cotton clothes for them to wear.
At this time, Li Changsheng also had to consider changing to a larger house. After all, with three more women, the previous house would not be enough to live in.
Subsequently.
Li Changsheng found a large house for sale nearby, priced at 1,200 taels of silver. It was once the residence of a small aristocratic family, and it had the name Zhang Mansion on it.
But now this small aristocratic family has long since declined, and the mansion has been bought by another aristocratic family and is now on the market.
Li Changsheng purchased the mansion directly and renamed it Li Mansion.
After that, he moved to the new Li Mansion, but the original house was not sold. Anyway, he did not lack the more than one hundred taels of silver.
…
"What are your names?"
Li Changsheng called the three women he bought to him and asked.
"Master, my name is Zhang Chunhua!"
"Master, my name is Huang Chan!"
"Master, my name is Qian Niuniu!"
The three of them introduced themselves.
"How did you become slaves?" Li Changsheng asked again.
What surprised him was that the three women were sold for the same reason, that is, they could no longer survive. In order to allow their families to survive, they were sold as slaves by their families in exchange for money.
"You have entered Li's Mansion, you have three meals a day, and you will be rewarded for good work. However, you are not allowed to leave the Mansion unless there is something important. Moreover, you are not allowed to communicate with each other about the work I have given you. If we were to find out, the consequences would be serious."
Li Changsheng even released his martial arts aura, making the three women shiver.
"Yes, sir!"
The three people responded quickly.
"Which of you can cook?" Li Changsheng asked.
There are currently five people in the Li family. If my sister-in-law is allowed to cook alone, it will undoubtedly be too busy.
Of course he would let someone else do the cooking.
"I can!" Zhang Chunhua said.
"Very good, then you will cook the meals from now on." Li Changsheng ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Chunhua responded.
Afterwards, Chen Yuelian took Zhang Chunhua to the kitchen to see his cooking skills.
When Zhang Chunhua saw the various dishes, grains, and even a lot of meat in the kitchen, he was immediately shocked.
"Madam, is this refined salt?"
Zhang Chunhua looked at the jar of refined salt and was dumbfounded.
She had never seen salt of such quality and in such quantities.
This is a wealthy family!
lady?
When Chen Yuelian heard this title, she was not angry or refuted, but felt a little secretly happy in her heart.
Immediately, she introduced: "Yes, we will use these refined salts for cooking in the future, and the Li family needs a lot of meat for every meal. Your master is a warrior and has a relatively large demand for meat."
Chen Yuelian explained in detail the amount of cooking.
Afterwards, she watched Zhang Chunhua cook in person.
Although Zhang Chunhua has never cooked any very good meals, he can still cook simple dishes.
When the time comes, with Chen Yuelian's guidance, Zhang Chunhua will cook some other people's dishes.
evening.
Zhang Chunhua cooked a lot of dishes. Li Changsheng and Chen Yuelian ate alone, while Zhang Chunhua's three daughters ate in another room.
As for Zhang Chunhua and the others, Li Changsheng did not restrict their meals and would definitely make them full and include meat in every meal.
…
"Master Li is so kind. Not only does he have three meals a day, there are so many meals!"
Huang Chan was very surprised to see these meals.
"By the way, what kind of job does the master want us to do? Isn't it a very dangerous job?" Qian Niuniu was a little worried.
After all, if it’s a non-dangerous job, why is the pay so good?
"We'll find out tomorrow. I think the master is very nice, and the wife is also very nice. She shouldn't let us do too dangerous work."
Zhang Chunhua said.
Time passed and the second day came.
today.
Changyue Sugar Shop was not open, so Chen Yuelian instructed Zhang Chunhua and the others to make sucrose in the Li Mansion. The procedure was a little complicated, but if they were to do it separately, they could definitely learn it as long as they made it regularly.
And when the three of them learned that their job was to make sugar, they were all shocked.
Because sugar is too expensive and is a luxury product, they have never eaten it or even entered a sugar shop.
"Remember, sugar production is absolutely not allowed to be leaked, and you are not allowed to discuss it with each other. Anyone who disobeys my order will die!"
Li Changsheng's words were not a joke. If these three people really dared to disobey his orders, he would not mind killing them and buying a few more slaves.
"Master, we will never leak it!"
The three of them fell to their knees in fear and said.
"Very good, from now on you just do your job well and don't interfere with other things. In short, you don't have to worry about food and drink." Li Changsheng said.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed.
In the past five days, Li Changsheng and Chen Yuelian personally instructed Zhang Chunhua and the others to make sucrose, and each procedure was carried out separately.
At this time, the three of them had each learned some sugar-making techniques, but they worked in separate places and were not allowed to communicate with each other.
Due to the division of labor and cooperation between the three people, the output increased several times.
Since the store has not been open for several days, after the store opened today, many people came to buy a large amount of cane sugar after hearing the news.
After all, sucrose is cheap and unlimited, so who wouldn’t want to buy more!
There are even other sugar shop owners who come to buy cane sugar and sell it after the price of cane sugar rises again.
It can be seen that these sugar shops have already regarded Changyue Sugar Shop as a purchasing channel.
