Chapter 34 Zhang Feng teaches etiquette
Naturally, Valen was not the only one who received Zhang Feng's small gift.
At present, there are a total of 13 merchants who are still in Red Leaf City, regardless of their strength, and Zhang Feng has given his own small gifts.
And the people who gave the gifts were naturally male slaves who had only trained for less than a day, and there were not many male slaves under Zhang Feng, less than thirty people, although the training time was short, it was still possible to do errands and other tasks that were not difficult.
Similar to Valen, the other merchants were shocked and excited when they saw the small spoonful of snow-white salt that Zhang Feng had given them.
Although they didn't do salt business before, now that there is such an obvious business opportunity in front of them, how can they do it without trying.
At the same time, Zhang Feng also received feedback from the male slaves, and these merchants said that they would definitely arrive tomorrow afternoon.
Anyway, Zhang Feng is also the city lord of Red Leaf City, and the request he made, these merchants will definitely appreciate their faces, and no one can refuse even if he gives out a small spoonful of salt.
Since there is going to be a small auction, the preparations must be made in advance.
Although Zhang Feng has no experience in this area, with many years of experience in reading novels and film and television dramas, he can probably speculate a little, which is nothing more than venue construction, catalogue production, pre-auction publicity and warm-up, related manpower, monitoring and security, etc.
But Zhang Feng was only holding a small auction, and it was relatively urgent, and there was only one day to prepare, so many things were not necessary.
Now all you need is a venue, the items to be auctioned, and the people involved.
The venue, Zhang Feng, was directly selected in the city hall.
The city hall is the place where the administrative work of the Red Leaf Castle is located, including industry and commerce, transportation, environment, capital construction, etc., all under the jurisdiction of the City Hall, and its functions overlap with the City Lord's Mansion, that is, the castle, but the City Hall of the Red Leaf City can only manage the things within the Red Leaf City, and the City Lord's Mansion is to govern the entire barony's domain.
Now because almost all the officials in the city hall have left, only Blanche is left, and she can't be busy with many things, so some orders Zhang Feng can only let Caroline, Marlowe, and even herself do it.
For example, the notices on the bulletin board were all written by Zhang Feng himself, after all, there are still too few managers in Red Leaf City, and no one is available.
The town hall is a two-story building, with the second floor being the residence of the city councillor and the first floor being the place where the city councillor worked.
In Zhang Feng's opinion, this layout is not reasonable at all, food, accommodation and office work are all together, it is too awkward, and it is too undignified, and it is said to be a work, not even a hall.
Just like now, there are a lot of people who come to apply, and they are lining up one by one to go outside.
Zhang Feng and Caroline arrived together, naturally there were soldiers to open the way, and soon he met Blanche, who was busy with dogs.
"Lord of the Castle! Lady of the Castle Lord! ”
Seeing Zhang Feng and the two coming, Blanche hurriedly got up first and greeted Zhang Feng and Caroline respectfully.
Hearing Blanche call herself the lady of the city lord, Caroline's ears were a little hot.
Zhang Feng didn't pay much attention, but asked kindly:
"Well, how is the work, are you busy?"
Looking at the long line in front of her, Blanche replied stubbornly:
“…… OK. ”
“……”
Zhang Feng also found that the questions he asked were a bit two-stroked, after all, it was the first time to be a leader, and he had no experience.
Caroline saw the two embarrassed and snickered on the sidelines.
"Ahem, what, prepare a bigger room for me, I'll hold a small auction tomorrow."
"Yes, Lord of the Castle."
Blanche hurriedly put down the interview work in her hand and prepared for Zhang Feng first.
Zhang Feng was also a little embarrassed, after all, Blanche was very busy now. But who let the municipal officials leave her alone, she must be the one who knows more about some municipal aspects, and she can only test others, and after two days of testing, Zhang Feng will have more people available in his hands.
The venue problem is solved, the items for auction are ready, and the rest is the personnel.
It's easy to say that after all, this is not a high-level technical talent, and those female slaves from yesterday can almost come in handy, and they don't need to do anything, just bring a cup of tea and pour water.
When he left the somewhat messy city hall and saw these female slaves again, Zhang Feng was very satisfied with Erica.
Although it only took one day, if you don't say it, you can't imagine that this is a group of slaves.
They were all young, dressed in neat coarse linen clothes, clean and without any peculiar smell, and were no different from ordinary people except that they were relatively thin.
Erica only taught them aristocratic etiquette for one day, although there were no too conspicuous results, but their spirit was completely different from yesterday, simply put, at least now they are no longer submissive, and they are a little confident.
Of course, when Zhang Feng arrived, these slaves immediately knelt on the ground to express their respect for Zhang Feng.
Including Erica also knelt on the ground, no matter what her previous identity was, now she is just Zhang Feng's slave, and the rules cannot be forgotten.
"Get up."
Zhang Feng personally lifted Erica up, which made her a little flattered.
"It's a good performance, if you train them to have the temperament of a noble lady fifty percent, I'll let you out of slavery."
Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Erica's eyes lit up.
If there is a chance to break away from slavery and become a free person, she will definitely not let it go, it seems that she will have to work harder to go back!
"You choose ten women who look more temperamental, I'm useful."
Erica selected ten female slaves from more than 100 people, they were probably in their teens and twenties, tall and good-looking, Zhang Feng was very satisfied.
Then he took the ten female slaves to a room alone and taught them something different.
For example, when you meet someone, you should say that you are welcome, and you should smile on your face, and it is best to be respectful to others, but not flattering.
Then there is the problem of standing posture, such as the head straight, the neck straight, the shoulders sinking, the abdomen tucked, the waist up, the buttocks lifted or something.
If you want to talk about this etiquette thing, Zhang Feng actually understands it quite well, because of his outstanding appearance in college before, he was fooled to the etiquette department by a senior sister, and he trained with a group of young ladies every day, and he also learned a lot.
Hearing Zhang Feng's explanation, the ten slaves, including Erica and Caroline, all turned red.
After all, people in this world are relatively conservative, and Zhang Feng said it so bluntly, which is somewhat embarrassing.
However, they also slowly found out that what Zhang Feng said made a lot of sense, according to Zhang Feng's coming, the slaves were standing there, and it was quite like that.
Although these ten people do not have Erica's aristocratic temperament, they are much better than ordinary people.
"Well, it's not bad!"
Seeing these ten beautiful women standing straight in front of him, Zhang Feng nodded, after all, it was just a temporary experiment, almost enough, but Zhang Feng always felt that something was missing.
"By the way, Caroline, who is responsible for the clothes in our City Lord's Mansion?"
Zhang Feng knew what was missing, and he was still short of a suitable dress.
