Chapter 453 Small Wine and Side Dishes
After returning to his yard, Zhao Hai took a breath when he sat in the living room. When Laura saw Zhao Hai’s appearance, she immediately poured Zhao Hai a glass of delicious food. Yadao: "What's wrong, Brother Hai? I think you seem very tired?" What did Smith tell you?"
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly: "He didn't say anything at all, and he was very polite, but I felt really tired after dealing with them. Still tired.”
Laura heard this. When Zhao Hai said this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course it is more tiring than a big battle. Anyway, during the battle, you were sitting back and directing, so you were not tired at all."
Zhao Hai worked hard in vain. Pulling a glance made Laura laugh, and then Megan also He walked in from the outside, and as soon as he entered the living room, he looked at Zhao Hai with a smile on his face and said: "Brother Hai, it seems that uncle and the others have a good impression of you. That's great. With the support of uncle and the others, what can we do in the future? It’s even smoother.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "It's not that good. When I had dinner with my uncle today, I found that the uncle and his uncle didn't talk about anything in the family while they were eating. They just chatted about some household matters. This shows that they are still Opponents, if the uncle and the others help us too much at this time, they will only help the elder uncle. I think they won’t do this kind of thing, so just give up.”
When Megan heard what Zhao Hai said, she sighed and didn’t say anything else. She also knew Zhao Hai. What Hai said was true. Her uncle and the others were still friendly towards his family, but if they really wanted to fight for power, they wouldn't be polite.
Zhao Hai looked at Megan's appearance and comforted: "Okay, it's okay, you don't have to think too much, I think uncle and the others are people who know the importance of things, and uncle also told me , The Kalchi family has its own monitoring methods, so nothing big will happen, and you don’t have to worry.”
Meghan nodded, but it could be seen that she still didn’t care. Zhao Hai was so happy that there was nothing he could do about it. This kind of competition for position could happen in any family.
Zhao Hai thought for a while and changed the subject and said: "We will send those seafood to Grandpa Gan in a while. The festival will be held in two days. I think we should also go to the city to have fun. This card All the goods in the world are gathered in Sencheng. The festival is coming soon, so there must be more goods. We must go shopping and buy some good things.”
Megan looked at Zhao Hai and said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow we will go to the city to have a good stroll. Brother Hai, what do you want to buy?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "It's still better now. I haven't thought about it, I just want to see if there are any good things to buy. Take me to the slave market here tomorrow. Don't you think we can spend some time together? Should we buy some slaves in the future?”
Megan nodded and said, “Yes, but Brother Hai, can we buy slaves now? Don’t forget, there will be 100,000 orc slaves in the next year. We are going to the black soil wasteland."
Zhao Haixiao stood and said: "Don't worry, of course I haven't forgotten, but those beasts. Human slaves can't farm, but freed slaves can. After buying those human slaves back, they can be handed over to orc slaves for farming. Moreover, most human slaves can also build some simple houses, but orcs are used to living in them. People who live in tents have many differences in their living habits, so I bought some human slaves and brought them back. It’s still good for us.”
Meghan nodded and said: “Okay, but this slave market is not in the city, but outside the city. I think we will go there after the festival. Well, during the festival, the slave market is the most crowded place, so we’d better wait until there are fewer people.”
Zhao Hai was stunned and said: "Why are there most people at this time? If there are so many people and we are late, then wouldn't the good slaves be picked out by others?"
Megan smiled and said: "During the festival , there are many big families who will be overwhelmed, and they will find some decent slaves and ask them to come to the house to help. These slaves need to If they do well, their lives will be easier in the future. In this year, many slaves died of illness or exhaustion. Most people will take this opportunity to buy some new slaves. Don't worry, Brother Hai, slaves There are many slaves in the market, and they are spoiled for choice.”
Zhao Hai frowned and said, “These are all slaves. Where do they come from, why are there so many?”
Laura smiled and said: “Brother Hai, you don’t know. Some of these slaves are civilians and cannot pay taxes, but they can’t borrow money. If there is no way out, they are bought as slaves. There are also some people who have been slaves for generations. Their children have grown up, or some are older. Old slaves will be sold when they are no longer able to do any work, so there is never a shortage of slaves on the mainland."
Zhao Hai sighed and didn't say anything. He also knew that this was the mainland. With his current ability, it is impossible to change the current situation. He can only do his part and help those who can help.
Megan also knew what Zhao Hai was thinking. She was very surprised when she saw Zhao Hai restore so many slaves to civilian status for the first time. However, she is also a kind person. When Meg worked with her, she was also very surprised. Explaining, she immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. She fully agreed with Zhao Hai's approach. Now seeing that Zhao Hai was unhappy, she immediately changed the subject and said: "Brother Hai, let's go deliver seafood to Grandpa Gan. Let him be well prepared.”
Zhao. Hai nodded and stood up. Laura and the others also stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go too and have a good look at what this Dark Soldier Fort looks like and how it is different from our Iron Mountain Fort. "
Megan smiled and said: "Okay, but there are some places in the Dark Soldier Fort that are not allowed to be entered, but you can visit other places. Come on, I will take you there." After that, Laura and the others went out, and Zhao Hai had no choice but to follow behind with a wry smile. As soon as they walked out of the door, they were greeted by a servant. Megan asked the servant to take them to Gan. Gan had a very special status in the mansion. Even Lando respected him very much, but he didn't like it. He is always scolding when he opens his mouth and is never polite. However, although he has a hot temper, he is very kind to his servants, so the servants in the house respect him very much. If he really makes any mistakes, he will be punished. Even if he is scolded, he will not hold a grudge.
Zhao Hai and the others quickly found Gan. Gan was in the kitchen now. The Day of Divine Grace is coming soon. A place like the Dark Soldier Fort must have a large amount of food stored in it. Only the ingredients are needed, because there are always some banquets and the like here, and it would be embarrassing if there are not enough ingredients.
Now Gan is inspecting the warehouse in the kitchen. He does the same thing every year, so Gan doesn't have any impatient expression and inspects it very carefully.
Zhao Hai was stunned as soon as he entered the warehouse. There were really a lot of things in the warehouse. There were some ingredients that he had never seen before, and they were placed in different categories.
At this time, the servant had walked up to Gan and said something to Gan. Gan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that it was really Zhao Hai and the others who were here. Gan's impression of Zhao Hai was... Yes, he walked out quickly and laughed loudly: "Xiao Hai, Xiao Megan, why did you come here? Do you want to see if there is anything delicious? Don't worry, if there is something delicious, , I won’t forget you.”
Megan ran to Gan’s side, hugged Gan’s arm and said, “Grandpa Gan, Brother Hai is here to give you something this time. If you don’t want it, , You will regret it."
Gan was stunned, then turned to look at Zhao Hai and said: "What else is there, Xiaohai? Take it out and see?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and moved his hand, and a large number of things appeared in the yard. Among them, there were swordfish and crabs standing in many places. These things were not small in size.
These were specially cultivated by Zhao Hai and Cai'er. They were several times larger than those seen in Haili, and they were very eye-catching.
Gan Yi was very surprised when he saw these things, and then his eyes lit up. These are good things, especially the swordfish and big crabs. They are rarely seen on the mainland now, even if they are seen. , I have never seen such a big one. If these things are really made into dishes and taken out during the banquet, those who come to the banquet will be shocked.
No new ingredients have appeared at the banquets in these years. Everyone eats the same things without anything new, so now that these things are available, the Kalchi family’s banquet must be very exciting.
The things Zhao Hai took out were all dead and frozen, but this was not a problem. For people like them, every house has a cold storage, and all of them are made of large-sized plastics. The magic array refrigeration can be used to freeze things, and can also be used to make ice cream to relieve the heat in summer.
Gan looked at it for a long time, then turned to look at Zhao Hai and laughed loudly: "Good boy, you really have some good things. Well, with these things, our Buda family's banquet this year will definitely be the most brilliant. Yes, "It's really good."
Megan looked at Gan's look and said with a smile: "How about it, Grandpa Gan, let me just say that Brother Hai has something good in his hands. Please let someone put it away quickly, otherwise." a while The child melted and we left. Laura and the others said they wanted to visit the house, so I took them around."
Gan didn't stop him, just nodded and said: "Go, go. "Okay, Xiao Hai, why are you going to join in with a bunch of girls? Come with me and let us have a good drink."
Zhao Hai responded quickly and stayed, Megan and the others said. He walked away laughing. Gan was not polite to Zhao Hai and directly took Zhao Hai to the kitchen. He asked the cook to prepare two side dishes at will, took out a pot of wine, and sat there to drink with Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai was on Earth, he would often have a small drink with a few old friends, and he wouldn’t drink too much. Drinking continuously and chatting at the same time, it felt good. But since arriving in Ark Continent, there has been no such opportunity. Now that Gan Yi is doing this, Zhao Hai feels quite warm.
Gan and Zhao Hai ate side dishes and drank wine, and they were very leisurely. During the festival, he, the chief manager of the house, was the busiest, but Gan was an exception. He usually The matter was left to his subordinates. He was only responsible for checking, so he was not very busy. In addition, the servants in this house usually had children from the same family, so he didn't need to worry too much, so he could look so leisurely.
