Chapter 700: I Can't Get Used to Eating
In the West, slaves are like livestock, the private property of the master, no different from cattle, horses, pigs and sheep.
The master could take the slave to the market and sell it at will, and naturally he also had the right to punish the slave, even if he was killed, he did not have to bear any responsibility.
Seeing the smile of the county lord, the maid who served Ning Jin'er shrunk her neck very much, and then rejoiced that she was a member of the Great Jin Dynasty and did not have to be treated like a slave here.
However, she also secretly made a decision in her heart that she must serve Miss Jin'er.
Otherwise, the fourth master would have sold her directly, just like in the mansion of Nanyue Mansion.
Those subordinates who sold in Nanyue Mansion already thought that they would fall into the hands of those tooth people, and they were afraid that they would not go to any good place.
But compared to here, it's like heaven and earth!
Although the fourth master sold a group of people out of the mansion last time, relatively speaking, the masters of the Ning Mansion were not very bad-hearted, at least they did not sell people to that dirty place.
But in this way, if the fourth master sells them, can't they be the same as the slaves that the fourth master said, can they be beaten and scolded by the master at will, and they will die in vain?
When he arrived at the gate of the manor and looked at the iron gate, Ning Pengpeng actually felt like he was back in modern times.
After all, such iron gates are all too common in modern times.
Before the carriage reached the gate, a servant pulled the gate open.
The reason for not asking was naturally because the carriage John was riding in had their family's family emblem on it.
The most important thing for a servant guarding the door is his eyesight and good memory, and he can remember the family crest of each nobleman clearly.
Otherwise, if the nobleman's carriage arrives at the door and is stopped at the door, it is a very rude act, and it will be beaten to death by the master.
Unless, of course, the master ordered that a nobleman's carriage should not be allowed to enter, which is another matter.
Seeing the gate, Ning Jin'er thought it was about to arrive.
Unexpectedly, after the carriage drove into the gate, it continued to drive along the road for almost half an hour before arriving in front of a castle full of Western style.
The outside of the castle is like the market on the other side of the pier, surrounded by a thick wall.
After opening the gate of the city wall, the carriage drove in and stopped at the gate of the castle.
And when they came down and looked up, they saw that the gate of the castle was a high arch, and there were round towers around it.
However, the windows are obviously cramped, and the cupola seems to be low.
The whole castle makes extensive use of columns and vaults of various shapes, which makes people feel that the castle is thick and solid enough at a glance.
However, the group followed the servant to open the castle gate and entered, and the space inside was very large, in contrast to the small window.
In the same way, because of the narrow windows, the interior of the castle is dimly lit, giving it a very mysterious and gloomy feeling.
However, at the same time as Ning Peng and the others entered, the servants lit all the candles around the castle.
Therefore, there is no sense of mystery and darkness, Ning Pengpeng and they only feel that it is splendid.
"You made this happen?"
Looking at the splendid interior, Ning Pengpeng had a little spicy eyes, and couldn't help but turn his head sideways and whisper to Ning Laosi.
Ning Laosi hurriedly shook his head and denied it.
"This was entrusted to John to help get it, and he said that the castles of the nobles here are like this."
Well, for this luxurious and resplendent aesthetic of the West, Ning Pengpeng can't understand it, but he won't say anything either.
The servant respectfully stepped forward with a candle and led them to their respective rooms first.
Thankfully, none of those rooms were as golden as the halls where the castle had just entered.
Ning Pengpeng and the others at least took a hot bath before lying down to rest.
And Ning Yongkang, after entering the room, lay directly on the bed.
Along the way, he felt wobbly in the carriage.
Then, after getting out of the carriage, he felt the ground shake under his feet.
This feeling is so uncomfortable!
waited until Ning Pengpeng and the others got up and went to the dining table, and Ning Yongkang was still asleep.
"Don't wait for him, let's eat first!"
Ning Pengpeng said to Ning Laosi.
John took his leave as soon as he saw them back to the castle.
After all, Misinen had come to so many ships this time, and he must have brought much more cargo than before, so he had to get the news out earlier.
You must know that because the nobles here don't understand the Dajin dialect, the price that Ning Laosi sold was increased by 10% by John as his commission.
For this matter, even if Ning Laosi didn't know about it at first, but after a long time of back and forth, he gradually understood after he could understand some simple language here.
There is a good saying, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.
If John didn't get cheap from it, a good person like him, Ning Laosi really wouldn't dare to use it.
Moreover, most of John's commissions were drawn from those nobles, and there was no loss for Ning Laosi.
After John left, Ning Laosi originally wanted to go to the person in charge of the textile factory, but when he woke up, it was already dark.
After thinking about it, he prepared to find the person in charge of the textile factory the next day.
However, when he went downstairs, he found that the two persons in charge of the textile factory had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Those account books were also sent over, Ning Laosi looked at it, it was such a thick stack, it is estimated that some of them have been checked!
However, he didn't show anything on his face, just nodded lightly, and asked the two people in charge about what happened here after he left, and picked up the key points.
After saying that, he let them go back first.
Then he instructed the servants to prepare the meal, and went to call Ning Pengpeng and them to come down to eat.
Because it was dark, the golden hall was full of candles.
On the gorgeous candlestick, the candle flame flickered slightly, shining on the tableware, shining silver.
Originally, Ning Pengpeng thought that the food sent this time would be something like steak.
Unexpectedly, it was a Chinese-style meal, but it was divided into separate plates.
"This is what you came up with?"
Ning Pengpeng raised the chopsticks in his hand and asked the fourth child, and Ning the fourth nodded a little embarrassedly.
"When I came here before, I couldn't get used to their food.
When the factory was built, some of the people I brought in could cook.
So, I let them make it, and it was quite delicious.
Mother, if we go to a banquet in a few days, if you can't get used to eating their things, don't force yourself to eat, just touch your mouth, and when you come back, I'll let someone cook your own food for you. ”
Hearing this, Ning Peng glanced at him with a smile.
How could she not get used to it?
Hmph, rabbit cub, when you eat Western food by yourself, you don't know where you are!
Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
