Chapter 22 Slave 1



Since Weil was punished, Chi Sui began to learn to read and write with Ole.

Because the pronunciation is the same, only the characters are different, so Chi Sui learns very quickly.

On the seventh night of the restaurant's opening, Ole and Chi Sui began the happiest thing of the day: counting the turnover.

"Lady, today's net profit has exceeded four gold coins!"

Ole's hair was shaking with joy.

Chi Sui sighed, "Not enough, not enough."

Ole was puzzled: "Lady, this profit is already very good among all restaurants."

Chi Sui frowned: "Four gold coins a day, how much a month?"

Ole calculated on the paper and said, "120 gold coins."

Chi Sui then asked, "How many things do I need to solve next month?"

Ole looked at the task list posted by Chi Sui on the wall and fell silent.

The mayors' meeting will begin on the 15th of next month. To be honest, the ultimate purpose of those mayors coming here is to ask the Baroness for money to help their subjects.

They also had to set aside some of the 120 gold coins to cover the restaurant's expenses for next month and the Baroness's personal living expenses.

Ole sighed, it was indeed too scarce.

Chi Sui leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. “What if I don’t send the disaster relief funds?”

Ole was stunned, his expression becoming serious. "My Lady, I know the situation is difficult right now, but... those people in the territory are in dire straits. If we don't give them anything, death will await them."

"You will also lose the support of the people because of this."

Chi Sui waved his hand and said, "It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. In my opinion, it's useless to distribute disaster relief funds. As long as the fundamental problems in various regions are not solved, these disaster relief funds must continue to be distributed."

Although Ole didn't understand the meaning of the proverb that Chi Sui said, he understood what happened next.

"Does the Lady have any idea yet?"

Ole bowed respectfully, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

Chi Sui chuckled and said, "I plan to clear out a piece of land in every town to store human and livestock feces."

Ole was puzzled: "Unless they are paid, I am afraid no one will be willing to contribute their land."

Chi Sui raised his eyes and said, "Give money? What money? No. Let the town decide for itself which piece of land to use for this purpose."

Ole's eyes widened.

Chi Sui didn't intend to explain, and only said: "You will know when the time comes. I am still perfecting the plan."

As the two were talking, there was a bang from the kitchen.

Then came Ellie's panicked cry.

Chi Sui quickly stood up and rushed to the kitchen with Ole, and found that Mary, who was boiling water, had fainted.

Ellie picked up Mary and placed her in the room under Chi Sui's instructions.

Soon, Mary woke up. Seeing Chi Sui sitting beside her bed, she immediately wanted to stand up and go to work.

Chi Sui held her down and said, "I've asked Ole to call the pharmacist."

Mary waved her hands quickly: "No need to call the pharmacist! No need to call! I'm fine, my lady."

Chi Sui sighed: "It's really too tiring for you two to be the chefs in the restaurant. It's also my fault for not considering it carefully..."

Mary waved her hands quickly: "My Lady, I'm not tired. I just didn't sleep well last night, my Lady..."

Chi Sui pushed her back to the bed: "You rest first, Ai Li and I will cook tomorrow."

Mary and Ellie exclaimed at the same time: "How could you do those things, Lady?"

Chi Sui shrugged: "Don't look down on me, have you forgotten that the recipes you learned were all learned by me first and then taught to you."

Before being reincarnated as a cannon fodder fiancée, Chi Sui was born into a wealthy family and started learning how to cook and do housework when she was very young.

I'm not bragging, but she's a good cook.

Mary and Ellie were about to say something, but Chi Sui said, "Let's settle this for now. Actually, I want to ask, is there any place in our territory that sells slaves?"

Ellie thought for a moment and said, "Yes, and many of the slaves are dark-skinned and have better physical strength, making them perfect for labor."

Chi Sui nodded and said, "Mary, you take a day off. The day after tomorrow, you hold on and continue cooking with Ellie. I'll buy a few slaves to teach them how to cook. Once they learn, I'll let them cook and you guys go back to the castle."

After saying that, Chi Sui went upstairs to sleep without paying any attention to the two of them.

At six o'clock the next morning, Chi Sui got up, changed into clothes that were convenient for moving around, and went to the Chinese restaurant with Ai Li.

The waiters were very nervous when they saw Chi Sui, and Al didn't expect that Chi Sui would come to cook in person.

Chi Sui did not explain, but asked the waiter to cut and wash the vegetables and prepare all the seasonings. Then Chi Sui and Ai Li started to stir-fry the dishes on the left and right.

Because there is a stove in the kitchen, the temperature is very high. Although the doors and windows are open to dissipate heat, it is still very irritating.

Chi Sui pursed her lips as she and Ai Li cooked the buffet dishes on the first floor. Only then did she realize that her linen skirt was already soaked.

The sweat on his forehead fell near his eyes, feeling a little stingy. He hurried out and washed his face with clean water from the well in the yard. Suddenly, he found several large vats with tightly closed lids in the corner of the yard.

"What is that?"

Chi Sui asked the waitress who was in charge of public toilet hygiene.

The old lady was a little nervous when Chi Sui asked her about it. She tugged at the hem of her clothes with her fingers and didn't dare to get too close to Chi Sui: "My Lady, those... are feces vacated from the toilet."

Chi Sui suddenly realized, yes, although there was a cesspool behind the toilet, the area of ​​the cesspool was not large and it was usually covered with a lid. However, Chi Sui did not expect that the cesspool behind was full in just seven days.

Thinking of this, Chi Sui walked into the bathroom and checked the hygiene.

The cleaning was good. Although there was inevitably a smell, at least the simple toilet was clean, and the sink and mirror were also wiped clean.

Chi Sui walked out satisfied and asked the lady in charge of the toilet: "What's your name?"

The old lady was obviously more nervous, as if she was afraid of being expelled: "Lady...Lady...My name is Lao Ya."

Chi Sui nodded and said, "Lao Ya, you've done a great job. If you can keep up the good work and do better and better, I'll consider giving you a raise."

Poor Laurya was so excited about the promise he had made that he was trembling all over and kept promising to work hard.

Chi Sui didn't rest for long before going back in to cook for the brave warriors in the private room on the second floor.

Chi Sui was busy until ten o'clock in the evening when the guests left. His whole body ached, as if he had been stepped on by a cow. He felt as if all his energy had been sucked out.

Ellie wiped Chi Sui's sweat with a towel, but Chi Sui waved his hand and fell asleep in the carriage.

Later, Ellie took her down from the carriage, put her in the bedroom, and slept soundly without even giving her a bath.

Early the next morning, Ole knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to go to the slave market to choose slaves.

Chi Sui stood up stiffly like an old man and responded, "Go, Ole, please boil some water and bring it up."

She wanted to take a shower before going. It was so dirty that she went to bed after being all sweaty yesterday.
