Alien landlady

Chapter 114 Schadenfreude
Immediately, two men with whips came in outside and took out the unselected slaves. Just after they left, two other men brought in a new group of slaves. There are insensitive and desperate expressions on their faces, and their mental state is obviously worse than that of the previous batch.

Bai Tongtong raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and the slave trader quickly explained, "Miss, don't worry, they all came in one batch. The real farmers were sold by the masters who laid down the new land. There is absolutely no food or drink along the way." A little bit of abuse."

Hearing what the other party said, Bai Tongtong immediately couldn't help but think of her suggestion of selling the Kirills, "Where do they all come from? South and north or left and right east and west?"

"Well, a little further west and a little further south, a little country at war."

"Where do you all come from?" Bai Tongtong suddenly turned to ask the slaves.

The peasants stood there stupidly and didn't know what to say, but they should have understood the question, and there was no doubt on their faces that they couldn't understand the language, but the high-ranking slaves behind them nodded one after another.

Pollock pursed his lips and grinned sullenly. He knew that this brought back some memories of Bai Tongtong. It seemed that she still felt a little guilty or had a disturbed conscience about selling the people of the whole country. This proved once again that she had never done anything like this before. This is a common emotion for novices.

Pollock carefully kept this new discovery in his heart, and copied it down later, adding another entry to his personal information book.

Bai Tongtong didn't know how to farm, so of course she couldn't choose a suitable farmer, so she returned the problem to them, and casually ordered a female slave who was in the front row, "I have [-] acres of arable land, how many farmers do you think I need? Enough?"

The woman looked frightened and didn't dare to tremble, she trembled her lips and squeezed out a voice, "I don't know how much an acre is, our land is Fangte."

Bai Tongtong twitched his lips, turned his head and glanced at the slave trader, the man shrugged apologetically, he only cared about teaching them the language, and he didn't care about anything else.

"Fante is slightly smaller than an acre, and the farming limit for young and middle-aged people is [-] to [-] mu. My humble suggestion is to calculate by half. You need ten farmers for your [-] mu of arable land." Pollock said in his unbeatable tone. Bai Tongtong made a rescue, "If you want to work intensively, you might as well add a few more people. They will be your great help in the future."

Bai Tongtong was very upset to be hit by Pollock again, but he had to admit that what he said was reasonable, urea had been tested and proved to be effective, and these first batch of slaves could be of great use after she carefully cultivated them.

Counting the number of these farmers, and thinking about the number of rooms in his private space and the capacity of the public water room, Bai Tongtong finally ordered eight male and female farmers each, a total of 16 people.

When the slave trader saw that the business was negotiated, he quoted the price, and Bai Tongtong paid the full amount without counter-offering a single copper coin.

"My dear lady, I wonder if your manor is fully prepared, and do you still need beds for the slaves?"

"Of course, you still have this?"

"I can send someone to take the young lady to have a look. I don't know whether it looks good or not, but I guarantee that it will be absolutely durable."

"Okay, call someone to come, I'm a slave for a while."

"Okay, okay, no problem." The slave trader stretched his neck and whistled again. His subordinates walked in, and after listening to the instructions, they brought the ropes and strung the slaves with their hands behind their backs like a string of grasshoppers. Take care of another warehouse that is slightly smaller.

Bai Tongtong followed another thug to go shopping outside, Ah Huang followed him in hiding, and quietly threw a candor spell at the man, Bai Tongtong took the opportunity to talk to him, and learned that this place that looked like a warehouse was actually a slave trading market, Not far from the boundary river, most of the main buyers come from the opposite bank, especially the mining area, which needs manpower the most.

The shopping market is right next to the slave market, which is also the living market of the locals. After noon, I saw someone selling vegetables, so Bai Tongtong bought some meat and some non-staple foods. Today, a large group of people like me The dinner is settled.

The thugs took Bai Tongtong to the furniture dealer. There were very simple furniture inside. The materials were not very good, but the workmanship was okay, and there was no one with unstable legs. Shang went to the small warehouse at the back to count and inspect the goods and put them into the space bag, then turned around and continued to buy other things.

I didn't expect the slaves to be in place on the first day of officially taking office. Of course, I was in a hurry due to lack of preparation. I just bought two baskets of tableware for the slaves. The special high-end tableware and bedding for the guild visitors. She plans to go to Kefu Buy in the city, there are exotic and beautiful things there.

After purchasing, Bai Tongtong hurried back to the slave warehouse, without bothering to count whether everything was complete. Pollock and Harding had long since disappeared. She waited for her slaves to be taken outside, and used the ground escape technique to cross the river bottom to return. up.

The dizzy slaves didn't have much time to rest. Bai Tongtong used the key to open the small front door of her private space, and first showed the slaves around. The advanced kitchen and various water facilities made the slaves couldn't help but express their admiration .

After the visit, Bai Tongtong took out all kinds of materials from the space bag and put them outside. The men carried the bed frame into the small bedroom next to the kitchen. There are two people in each bedroom, and each has a bed, a wardrobe and a washbasin stand. A bedside table shares a half-length mirror, and the living conditions are the same for the farmers. In addition, the male slaves live downstairs, and the female slaves live upstairs. The bedrooms are optional, and roommates can be freely combined.

Knowing that their new master was actually the president of the Magicians Guild, the slaves felt relieved, thankful that they were lucky enough to meet a good master, so they were very motivated to work, and quickly placed all the furniture When it was in place, the female slaves began to make the beds, and at the same time, someone in the kitchen was cleaning the newly bought kitchen utensils, which were all used for cooking in big pots and pots.

The food that Bai Tongtong bought temporarily was thrown on the cooking table, and she brought several large bags of fabrics and sewing tools to the housekeeper Abel, and asked her to arrange for people to make new clothes for everyone.

The male farmers squatted outside to consider the planning of the cultivated land. When they came back, they made a list of farm tools to Bai Tongtong through the butler Bernard. Bai Tongtong wrote a page. These things alone required a farm tool room. Fortunately, there were enough rooms.

Suddenly there were 28 more slaves. The house was extremely lively, and people were seen everywhere. Bernard led his servants to walk through the guild again. If the guild came, they would be responsible for receiving guests from outside. .

Bai Tongtong made the room opposite the president's office the financial office, and let the accountant Linton and the cashier Amis sit in it, and wrote down the missing office stationery in the notebook.

The afternoon passed quickly under such busy conditions, the sky gradually darkened, the kitchen had been cleaned up and dinner was started, because there were not enough vegetables to buy, Bai Tongtong simply rolled up his sleeves and served it himself, kneading the dough to make noodles, and cooking the meat into meat Wash the sauce and vegetables, blanch them in a pot of boiling water, and keep them as garnishes and side dishes.When serving the first plate of noodles, Bai Tongtong also taught them how to eat them with a spoon, and showed off his chopsticks to demonstrate again, requiring the slaves to learn this eating skill.

The cooking table in the kitchen could not seat 29 people, so the farmers ate in the kitchen, and the others ate in the dining room. Bai Tongtong also gave everyone a glass of wine to celebrate their new life.

With the wine, the atmosphere at the table is very relaxed, and with Ah Huang throwing the candor technique, the slaves are very proactive in talking about the past, especially their mother country, which is small but has mountains and plains. People mainly rely on animal husbandry and planting for a living, plus a little handicraft industry, and grain is exported every year. The reason for the war is that neighboring countries invaded and annexed. As long as the arable land does not require population, many of the original citizens were sold to slaves. Traffickers, and then emigrate some people from their own country.

It sounds like this is exactly the same as Bai Tongtong's strategy of letting Tamir occupy Kirill's territory.

Ah Huang, who had been foraging in the forest, slept sprawled beside the white chair, suddenly snorted, got up quickly and rushed into the corridor of the private property, and then everyone in the restaurant heard its roar and was alarmed Farmers in the kitchen, cause a commotion.

When everyone stood up thinking that something had happened, Ah Huang ran back again, and then the commotion in the kitchen subsided, and a big wolf walked in outside the restaurant, followed by a man with messy clothes and hair.

"President Bai, do you mind interrupting me?" Pollock looked tired and embarrassed, and before Bai Tongtong could speak, he walked to the dining table and pulled a chair to sit down, took off his coat slowly, Harding lay at his feet.

Bai Tongtong waved her hand to signal everyone to sit down and continue eating. She put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, then got up and walked towards Pollock.

"I said, you're really good at picking doors, I remember I bolted the door."

"No way, the door is not in the right position, you can't hear it when you knock on the door. And if you want to close the small door, you must at least open the main door of the guild. It would be too pitiful if someone came from the outside like me but couldn't knock on the door. Here." Pollock rolled up his coat and draped it over the back of the chair behind him.

Bai Tongtong sniffed, she smelled a mellow wine smell.

"Did you wear wine-scented perfume? And this strange scent?"

"Yeah, the newest fragrance type. Someone gave it to me for trial. It hasn't been sold on the street yet. Isn't the fragrance not bad?"

Bai Tongtong folded her hands, glanced at Pollock suspiciously, took a candlestick from the table and approached Pollock in her hand.

Pollock sensitively raised his hands and tilted his head to hide, but Bai Tongtong grabbed his collar and pinned him in the chair. As a result, under the candlelight, he first saw the scratches and blood on his face, and then pinched a small leaf from his hair.

"It's so rare, you can get hurt too. It turns out that there are people who can hurt you in this world. They must be great heroes. I admire you." Bai Tongtong twirled the leaves and dangled in front of Pollock's eyes.

Harding, who was lying on the ground, suddenly covered his eyes with his claws, and couldn't bear to raise his head to observe the situation of his master.

"Hold the candlestick straighter, please? Candle tears are about to drip, my clothes are very expensive." Pollock looked helpless.

Bai Tongtong moved the candlestick away a little, but not in order not to stain Pollock's clothes, but because she finally smelled the source of the strange alcohol smell, which was on the clothes behind him.

"What's the matter? You were poured wine? The business negotiation failed and the other party became angry?" Bai Tongtong was inexplicably surprised. In her mind, Pollock has always been a powerful gentleman who needs to be beaten up. Today's image is simply unsightly. .

"Uh, someone is angry, but it's not a failure in business negotiations."

"What's the matter with you?" Bai Tongtong moved his arm again, and saw the remaining wine stains on Pollock's collar, "We didn't talk about dividing up the spoils and fought?"

"I'm a gentleman, President Bai, don't imagine me as a fighter who always fights with others, okay?"

"Hey, given the situation when we first met, it's no wonder I thought of it like this. It took me a lot of effort to push you to the ground. I think your opponent definitely didn't take advantage of it."

"President Bai, your imagination is too exaggerated." Pollock didn't seem to want to talk about this topic very much, but when Bai Tongtong caught him deflated, he didn't intend to let him go at all.

"If I didn't have this bit of imagination, you wouldn't be around me all day long. I'll give you a glass of wine to calm you down, and then tell me the truth?"

The servants were responsible for receiving visitors. The servant closest to the entrance of the restaurant immediately left his seat and hurried to the kitchen to fetch a wine glass. Bernard, the butler, poured a glass of wine and gently placed it in front of Pollock.

Pollock smelled the aroma of the wine, picked it up and took a sip, "Well, Tamir's cellared duke berry wine."

"Drink it? Tasteful."

"You like stories?" Pollock raised his eyes.

"As the first visitor to my small guild that officially opened on the first day, of course I have to serve you wholeheartedly. I even allow you to use stories instead of tips. Don't be so stingy."

"Don't be self-assertive, when did you talk to me about exchanging stories for tips?"

"Huh? Wasn't it just now?" Bai Tongtong smiled as if Ah Huang was full, "This is my territory, I'm in charge."

Pollock lowered his head to drink, ignoring Bai Tongtong's playful rogue.

"Think carefully, I'll finish the meal first."

"Hey, President Bai, did you dismiss the guests with a glass of wine?"

"Anyway, you don't look like the guest I should receive." Bai Tongtong put the candlestick back to its original place, waved her hands perfunctorily without looking back, and went back to her seat to continue eating noodles.

None of the servants at the table dared to say anything. They didn't know the relationship between their master and this male guest. They only knew that this man had appeared in the slave warehouse, and they all lowered their heads silently and wolfed down their mouths.

Pollock drank the wine silently, observed Bai Tongtong's unique tableware handling skills across the table, deliberately pressed the wound on his face with his fingers from time to time, and always squinted his eyes due to the pain.

Bai Tongtong ate the last mouthful of noodles, looked up and saw the scene of Pollock masturbating himself, frowned in puzzlement, pushed away the plate, and the others were clearing up the tableware and wiping the table after eating one after another. Only Bai Tongtong, Pollock, and two magic pets remained.

Grabbing her own wine glass, Bai Tongtong walked towards Pollock and shared the leftover wine on the table between them.

"Okay, now there are no outsiders, and I came here in a mess to seek comfort, tsk tsk tsk, poor boy, tell my sister, I'm here to enlighten you."

Holding the wine glass, Pollock tilted his head and gave Bai Tongtong a hard look, then raised his head and took a big sip of the wine.

As a result, his actions made Bai Tongtong see the gossip information revealed by his collar, his eyes lit up, and a thief hand stretched out, Pollock impatiently patted him away.

"What are you touching?"

"Oh? You're chaste?" Bai Tongtong giggled and pointed to Pollock's neck, "I thought there was only wine stains on your collar, but I misread it. This small piece is a woman's lipstick. Yin. The one who poured wine on your face is actually a woman, hahahaha."

Pollock pursed his lips and rolled his eyes.

"Emotional disputes? Could it be his wife?" Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes, trying to see clues from Pollock's hands.

"You think too much." Pollock, who couldn't bear it anymore, interrupted Bai Tongtong's unrealistic association.

"That's the lover? Girlfriend? Fiancee? Tsk tsk tsk, no matter who it is, the one who can pour wine on your face is a heroine."

"The more you talk, the more addicted you are?"

"Hey, you walked in as if you were being fooled by someone, and you are not allowed to ask? Your territory?"

"I just want to borrow this place from you to take a rest. If you have nothing to do, be a good host and get me something to eat." Pollock directly ignored the unintelligible word **, which is definitely not a good word anyway. .

"Tch~ If you don't eat, you don't eat. You just say you're going to die or something." Bai Tongtong rolled her eyes in contempt, but she still didn't give up. "If you want to eat my cooking, tell me what's going on?"

"Didn't you guess it all? I was splashed with wine by a woman."

"Splashing wine will break your face? Will you get leaves in your hair? Will it look like you have rolled in the wild? You are lying to a blind man."

"After pouring the wine, I threw a random teleportation scroll, and almost fell into the lake." Being asked anxiously, Pollock spoke quickly as if giving up on himself.

"Pfft! Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Bai Tongtong covered her mouth and couldn't stop laughing, she wiped her tears while laughing.

Pollock pursed his lips tightly, watching Bai Tongtong slowly calm down from the wild laughter.

"Enough laughing?"

Bai Tongtong wiped away the tear stains on her eyelids, and was still panting, "The lipstick on your collar shows that you two were very close at that time, and suddenly someone poured wine on your face, what did you do?"

Pollock shrugged slightly, "It's just a rejection of her request to marry me."

"Huh?! A woman proposes? Why do you refuse?"

"Miss who poured wine on my face when I didn't achieve my wish, do you think she is usually a gentle and considerate character?"

"Well, to put it nicely, it's more aggressive and tougher. It's suitable for men in the rising stage of their careers. They can live at home. Men don't have to worry about the future and can concentrate on their careers. But if there is a family conflict, it is very likely to be resolved by force, hahahaha .”

"Do you think every young lady is the same as you? Your saying that the conditions for choosing a spouse to resolve family conflicts by force is now known all over the country."

"So I'm so famous now?" Bai Tongtong cheekily took it as a compliment.

"Well, it's amazing to be recognized by so many people."

"Pfft, the people are too generous."

"It directly leads to a sharp drop in the number of people who want to marry you, and the upper class's interest in you is rapidly cooling down."

"As expected."

"So this is actually your trick to not want to get married?"

"This is a tactic to slow down before I find a man I like. Otherwise, everyone will introduce men to me, and I won't have time to do the serious things I want to do."

"Hmph, an excuse."

"It's the reason for others to believe it." Bai Tongtong plausibly said, "It seems that I am smarter than you, and I can reduce the chance of getting myself into an embarrassing situation in advance."

"After talking about it, it's back to me again, right?"

"Ah, ah, don't you just get splashed with wine and roll in the wild, it's nothing, nothing, a bird clings to someone before marriage, and an eagle eats people after marriage, it's your luck that you didn't agree to her courtship, don't think about it anymore Unless she has something to do with your business, if you promise to be sorry for yourself, but if you refuse, you will be sorry for the business, that's why you're so tangled up here." Bai Tongtong tried hard to keep her face tight, but she wanted to laugh as she spoke.

"After listening to the story, can we go cook?" Pollock didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. His ugly face was not regret, but his self-esteem was damaged because he was thrown with wine and randomly scrolled to a strange place after refusing. Just a little depressed.

"I'm not Tamir here, I don't pay attention to the custom that guests can't enter the kitchen, you go with me, the table is cleaned up, don't ask someone to wipe it again, I'm going to close the door of the restaurant." Bai Tongtong was decisive this time He simply agreed.

Bai Tongtong left the dining room with a wine bottle and glass in one hand and a candlestick in the other. Pollock slowly stood up in the dark, drank the remaining wine in the glass, picked up his coat, and followed. Harding trotted from the kitchen. The back door went out, and I don't know where it went.
