178. Buying and selling
The boss recommended by Raymond is a thin middle-aged man who also has a mustache, and I wonder if they are familiar with each other because they both use the same beard. Pen inkstone Pavilion More good
But Luo Chen's focus was not on this Carter boss, but on the place where he was, which made her feel inexplicably intimate.
This interior decoration is very similar to a school dormitory, with the dormitory management room at the door, and then there are neatly arranged small rooms, this familiar environment is really unforgettable for her.
After Luo Chen and the others entered the door, under the explanation of the waiter, they were led to a hospitality room by the enthusiastic boss Carter, and after all the tea and snacks were served, he said, "Since this guest was recommended by Brother Raymond, then I won't say any more polite words, what price do you want to choose?" What do you do? How many people are needed? Are there any special requirements? ”
I didn't expect Raymond to have this kind of use, and she directly omitted the greetings, which made her satisfied.
"None of my servants have been spared on the way here, which has caused some minor troubles in my life, so I need a few to take care of the trivial matters of my future life, preferably not too old."
"I see, I see, you wait a minute."
After Carter finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving Luo Chen to look blankly in the direction he was leaving, what did he understand?
In a few moments, Carter returned, and this time he entered the room with two men.
"Guest, these two are the servants I have chosen for you, they are completely old enough to enter the knight's academy with you to take care of your daily life, you watch first, if there is something unsatisfactory, I will replace it for you."
As he spoke, Carter pushed the two children in front of Luo Chen.
The two children with identical faces stood timidly in front of Luo Chen, wanting to bow their heads, but they were afraid that Luo Chen would be dissatisfied with their faces because they couldn't see their faces clearly, so they pulled their clothes around in a tangled way.
"Why don't you bow your head when you see the nobles?" Luo Chen still asked the doubts in her heart, but it was mainly a play added to herself to play a nobleman, she guessed that no matter which nobleman would not like to be stared at by slaves all the time.
The two children's faces turned pale with fright, their heads instantly lowered, and they knelt down with a pop.
Carter hurriedly said, "It's to make it easier for the guests to see their appearances, they are a little overwhelmed when they come out for the first time, and it's not good to handle when to bow their heads, it's their sin to make you unhappy, I'll let them go down and change you to someone else." ”
After Carter finished speaking, he reached out to pull the two children who were still kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Luo Chen smiled faintly and said, "The first time you came out?" Can they work? ”
"Yes! Laundry, cooking, and tidying up the room will do anything, I have been learning here for more than a year, and I know a few words, and tidying up the study is not a problem. ”
Carter hurriedly withdrew his outstretched hand and lowered his head to explain to Luo Chen. He was also kind for a while, the father of these two children had something to do with him, although it was not close but it was an acquaintance, his family suddenly suffered, so he had to send the child to him to exchange money to pay off the debt, saying that he would redeem the person in half a year, but the man was close to the appointment but could not come, and then waited for more than a year.
Although he feels sorry for his two children, he is also a businessman, and what he does is the slave trade, how can he make money to support his family without selling slaves.
So, after consulting with the two children, they began to learn the skills that slaves should master.
It's just that they are too young to meet the employment standards of those nobles, and they are some nobles with special hobbies, which makes him feel unhappy, after all, they have been raised for so long, and they have also raised a little feeling, and it is impossible to push them into the fire pit with his own hands.
And Luo Chen's arrival made him see that this was the best place he could choose for them.
Luo Chen nodded, looked at the two children kneeling on the ground and asked, "How old are you two?" ”
Carter preemptively replied, "Eight years old, nine years old in a few months." ”
Luo Chen turned his head to look at Carter and smiled meaningfully at him.
Carter's face tightened and he was slightly embarrassed, and he lowered his head to the two children and said, "Hurry up, the young master asks you." ”
"I'm eight years old and almost nine years old." The two children knelt on the ground, their heads against the ground, and there was a hint of panic in their voices.
"What will be done." Luo Chen didn't kindly call the two up, she didn't want to arouse the suspicion of others because of one action.
"We do laundry, cooking, chores and heavy lifting." One of them was obviously a little bolder than the other, and helped the other before he could speak.
Luo Chen rubbed his hand on the fat ball, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at Carter and said, "How much silver do you need." ”
"One sixty, sixty silver coins is enough." Carter originally wanted to say a hundred silver coins, but he was afraid that Luo Chen would regret it, so he hurriedly lowered the price, and what he gave was definitely the cost price.
Luo Chen took out a hundred silver coins and threw them to Carter, anyway, it wasn't his own money, how to spend it happily. "Clean up for them and send them over, I'll have to go to the Knight Academy in a while, I don't want them to lose my face."
"Yes, yes, I'll have them cleaned up and sent them to you."
Carter picked one up in one hand and walked out of the door, and the moment he closed the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know when he felt that he was not facing a noble young master, but a high-ranking nobleman with great power, and the sense of oppression made him have to lower his posture, obviously he was still in control of the initiative when they first met.
Carter sighed and shook his head, the current aristocratic child is really amazing, and he will become a great weapon in the future.
After thinking about it, he looked down at the two little cubs he was carrying, and he didn't know whether they would be a blessing or a curse in the future.
Inside, when the waiter saw Carter leaving, he bowed down and said to Luo Chen, "Guest, you have already chosen a satisfactory servant, so I will not stay longer, but if you have any other orders, I will leave later, and I think Mr. Raymond will not blame me." ”
Luo Chen took out two silver coins and gave them to the waiter and asked him to leave, and there was nothing he could help with next, even if there was something, wouldn't there be a guard.
However, the conversation along the way taught her a lot of things, such as their self-proclaimed, which was supposed to be that everyone would call themselves servants when they saw nobles, but this was not the case.
A nobleman with an official title is addressed to him, but if it is a sign of respect and the person does not have an official title, he or she may be addressed as Mr. or Madame.
And self-proclaimed such a thing, you can call yourself a servant by putting your position at the lowest in front of a person, you can also be called a servant when you do things for the nobility, and at other times you call yourself 'I', because this will seem neither humble nor arrogant.
Of course, these are all used to restrain commoners, and the titles between nobles are all based on their own status, and people with high status can call other people at the lower level as much as they want, but nobles have always flaunted themselves as civilized and elegant, and they can't belittle a person in person, of course, provided that this person is also a nobleman.
