Chapter 131: Slaves
After the contract was signed and what he wanted was in hand, Sean didn't stay with Reinado for long, and after a while he said goodbye to him and left the manor with Celia.
Although it is an ice and snow festival, those large shops will not be closed, after all, the festival is attended by the owners and employees, and those poor servants and slaves do not get rest even at such times, at most they look at the lively scene outside in their leisure time and secretly envy.
So, after purchasing a bunch of things, Sean finally returned home, followed by Celia and the laborers who were responsible for carrying the things.
Sean didn't want these people to enter his house, so he just asked them to leave their things at the door, and decisively sent them away, anyway, he had the help of spells, and it was quick to set up and tidy up.
In addition, he also had to sign the Eye of Judgment Contract with Celia, the signing process of this thing is similar to the Abyss Will Contract, except that both the feeling when signing it and the effect after signing it, it does not have the evil feeling of the Abyss Will Contract, but it seems more solemn and inviolable.
……
It wasn't until dinner time that Sean had everything done, and he lay down in his soft chair a little tired, not even bothering to meditate.
Celia knelt beside Sean obediently, resting her head gently on his lap with a soft smile on her face.
As Sean's slave and maid, the only thing she has to do is to make her master happy and happy every day, and for this she has to meet any reasonable or unreasonable needs of Sean in addition to taking care of him in life.
"Is dinner ready? I don't want to move, go get it and feed me. ”
Sean reached out and gently stroked Celia's long pale blonde hair, looking lazy.
"It's all ready, master, please wait a moment."
Celia complied with his orders, and after asking Sean for permission and permission, she quickly got up and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
……
Feeding slaves may seem ridiculous, but it's not uncommon in this world.
Many hereditary nobles grew up in the meticulous care of their slaves at home, and even when they reached adulthood, they still habitually drove their slaves to do almost everything for them, as long as it was not in public or social settings.
For the slave owner, the slave was nothing more than a moving and communicative object, and there was nothing wrong with having the slave assist during the meal, just like using a knife and fork at the table.
After all, they didn't see each other as a life with an equal status with themselves from the beginning, and naturally they didn't feel ashamed because of this.
……
Soon, Celia placed a large amount of beautifully prepared food on the table in front of Sean, and very carefully cut it into small pieces little by little, and fed it to her master with a knife and fork.
The ingredients for these foods are fresh ingredients that Sean has just bought, and he has taken great pains to solve this aspect of the food problem.
The supply side is very easy to solve, after signing the verbal agreement, the market will send the freshest raw materials to his door every day for him to choose, the key is how to ensure the safety of food, which is the most important thing for him to consider.
It's not difficult to use magic items, alchemy items, and even ritual magic to perform automatic checks, but the problem is that the effectiveness of these measures is relatively average, and if you want to force it to the level that Sean wants, you need to consume a lot of wealth, and you need to have a high level of alchemy and spell-casting skills to complete.
Therefore, Sean finally chose to check manually, anyway, a trainee-level toxicity test would not consume much mana, and he simply regarded it as a daily work.
……
With that in mind, Sean opened his mouth again to accept the feeding.
Celia is a professionally trained slave, and she is quite skilled in both cooking and caring for people.
The fat and lean beef is grilled to perfection, and the tender pieces of meat are bubbling with a little oil, giving off an enticing aroma from the inside out.
Celia cut the beef into just the right amount of pieces and gently poured it into Sean's mouth with a fork, filling his lips with a soft and bouncy taste that made him feel happy.
"Okay, I'll do it myself, I still don't quite adapt to this aristocratic life, it feels a little strange."
After a few bites, Sean finally retrieved the knife and fork from Celia.
Because of devouring the soul of the traverser, and breaking and absorbing his memories bit by bit, Sean is still slightly affected in terms of values and habits, and it may take a while to adjust back.
At the same time, Celia stood a little uneasy, her hands constantly kneading the corners of her clothes, and her face faintly revealed a hint of nervousness.
Although the master does not seem angry, she still reflects on whether she has not done well enough before, and if it is really because of her own reasons that make the master feel uncomfortable, then Celia will never forgive herself in her heart.
"Don't think about it."
Sean also noticed that Celia's mood was a little low, and turned his head to stare calmly into her eyes.
"I'll definitely punish you if you make a mistake, so don't worry, just do what I tell you to do."
In front of Sean's words, Celia's head became even lowered, the great master would care about such a humble slave as her, and she was really a little flattered by such gentle treatment.
Ignoring Celia's mental turmoil, Sean continued to enjoy her food.
Excellent ingredients, coupled with good cooking techniques, although there are still many deficiencies compared to the dinners of some nobles, it is also a luxury that the low-level commoners cannot imagine.
Whether it's meat, vegetables, fruits, or cereal products, everything is carefully cultivated and cultivated, and those that are mass-produced using technology have always been disdained by the upper classes in terms of quality, and naturally cannot be on their tables.
Not to mention those expensive spices, although the quantity is small, but the price is much higher than other raw materials, Sien's meal alone is worth more than a dozen silver coins, which is about equal to the ration of ordinary people for more than a month.
This is the cruelty of this world, even Sean, who does not deliberately pursue pleasure, inadvertently consumes far more resources than ordinary people imagine.
Even if you compare him with those nobles who have a luxurious lifestyle, others have to praise him for being diligent and thrifty when they hear it, after all, those guys spend dozens of hundreds of gold coins on a casual banquet, which he will definitely be reluctant to put on Sean.
