After washing up, the baroness put on a flowing long dress, got on the carriage and set off.
The largest slave market in the territory is located at the outermost edge of the commercial street, adjacent to the livestock market, carpentry shop and blacksmith shop.
When he got off the bus at the slave market, Chi Sui frowned. Almost all the people there were black!
To be honest, since coming to the Cassio Kingdom, Chi Sui has also learned that 30% of the people in the Cassio Kingdom are white people with blond hair, blue eyes and pale skin. This group of people are the aristocracy.
Fifty percent of them were Caucasians with dark brown hair, rosy complexions, dark eyebrows, eyes, and three-dimensional features. Yes, in Chi Sui's judgment, this group of people were considered Caucasians, but in the Kingdom of Cassio, they had a separate name: the dark race. This race was a symbol of poverty and low status.
The remaining 20% are black people. Black people do not live in towns or even villages. Due to discrimination, they are driven to live in the mountains. They have no land and no rights, and usually rely on hunting and selling furs and wild goods for a living.
Black people are not allowed to marry dark-skinned or white people in the Kingdom of Cassio. Once discovered by the state, both parties involved will be whipped to death in public, and their mixed-race children will be dismembered.
It can be said that there is no fairness for black people in the Kingdom of Cassio.
Most of the slaves in front of him were black, of course, there were also dark-skinned people.
Seeing Chi Sui frown, Ole thought that Chi Sui was uncomfortable seeing black people, so he said: "If the baroness doesn't like black people, let's buy dark-skinned people."
The slave owner came over and was stunned when he saw Chi Sui's appearance. Chi Sui was obviously not white, nor did he look like a dark-skinned person. He had never seen such an appearance before. But seeing that Chi Sui had an extraordinary demeanor and had a white man as a housekeeper, he put on a smile and introduced Chi Sui to him.
After learning more about it, Chi Sui realized that dark-skinned people are not as physically strong as black people, but their prices are higher than black people.
Seeing that Chi Sui wanted to buy a few black girls to take back, Ole persuaded him: "Lady, please listen to me."
Chi Sui nodded and motioned for Ole to continue.
"My Lady, if you want to buy a slave to cook for you, you must choose a dark-skinned person, absolutely not a black one."
Chi Sui raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
Ole sighed. "In the Kingdom of Cassio, black people are extremely detestable. If restaurant guests knew that a black person was cooking, they wouldn't be able to accept it."
"The same applies to waiters. Anyone who appears in front of customers must not be black!"
Chi Sui gave Ole a deep look and said, "Then I'll buy a dark-skinned cook."
Ole breathed a sigh of relief.
After randomly picking four dark-skinned women who looked healthy and relatively clean, Chi Sui looked at the group of black people again.
Ole's heart tightened as he saw Chi Sui point out ten black people, five men and five women.
"I want all ten black men and four dark-skinned ones."
Ole frowned, but still said nothing.
"One gold coin per person for dark races, one gold coin per two black races."
"That's nine gold coins."
Ole paid the money, and the slave owner handed over the magic contract of the fourteen slaves: "Madam, please drop your blood on it. Once the blood is dripped, these fourteen slaves will be yours."
Chi Sui nodded, took out a needle and wanted to prick his finger, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he asked Ole for help.
When the blood fell on the slaves' deeds, a golden light flashed, and several slaves all raised their heads and looked at Chi Sui respectfully.
After having Ole keep the deed, Chi Sui got on the carriage, and fourteen slaves followed the carriage as they headed towards the castle.
The first thing they did when they arrived at the castle was to boil water for a bath. Slaves were not qualified to enter the main building of the castle, so they collected firewood to take a bath in a dilapidated servant building near the courtyard wall.
On the way back, I bought two sets of spare clothes for each of the fourteen people and asked them to change into them after taking a shower.
In fact, the servants' building was very run-down, with broken windows and the wooden beds inside being even more worn out. But Chi Sui had no choice, as she didn't even have a single decent piece of furniture in the main building...
There is no way, just endure it, what else can I do?
After taking a shower, the fourteen people all stood neatly in the yard waiting for Chi Sui to assign them tasks.
Chi Sui exchanged rice seeds, onion, coriander and other common vegetable seedlings from the mall.
Rice has relatively high requirements for land and cannot be planted at present, but vegetable seedlings can be planted.
The ten black people were not entitled to have names and were called Black 1...Black 10 according to their ages.
To be honest, Chi Sui was speechless about this, but Ole tried his best to stop him, saying that if the slaves had names, the constraints of the contract would gradually become invalid. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, since Ole said so, Chi Sui didn't bother to care.
From Hei Yi to Hei Shi, Chi Sui asked him to plow the soil, first turning out a piece of land, and then planting vegetable seedlings.
Ole also arranged the names of the four cooks, namely Cook One to Cook Four.
Chi Sui brought the four of them into the kitchen and taught them how to cook each dish one by one. The four of them learned very seriously, and Chi Sui didn't have to put in much effort.
After five days of hard work, the four cooks who had worked hard day and night finally became apprentices and were assigned to work in a Chinese restaurant.
Ellie and Mary will stay there for a few more days and won't be back for the time being.
The black team also weeded and tilled one of the five plots of land outside the castle.
I started planting onion seedlings and some common vegetable seedlings according to Chi Sui's demonstration.
The days passed one by one, and soon the Chinese restaurant had been open for a full month.
The net profit was actually 145 gold coins.
Thirty waiters were paid 30 silver coins per month, for a total of nine gold coins.
In principle, the fourteen slaves did not receive any wages, but Chi Sui still gave each of them 50 copper coins as pocket money for a month.
Mary Ellie and Al were paid one gold coin each, and Ole was paid one gold coin and fifty silver coins.
After receiving his salary, Chi Sui took out 30 gold coins and went to the pawn shop to buy some natural jewelry to exchange for system trading coins. Then he spent a huge sum of 80,000 trading coins to buy 130 grams of gold and gave it to Prime Minister Turtle who came to collect the debt.
Prime Minister Gui took away the leek and pork dumplings made in Chi Sui's castle, saying that they were for his prince.
Chi Sui needed help, so he asked Mary to cook a few dishes and asked Prime Minister Turtle to take them over.
He had previously spent 512 of the 900 gold coins, and with the income from the Chinese restaurant after receiving salaries and buying gems, Chi Sui currently has 612 gold coins saved.
Chi Sui raised his eyes and looked at the poverty alleviation plan he had listed. He said, "Olai, call the mayor to a meeting on the 15th, the day after tomorrow. I have something to say."
