Chapter 58 Preparation for the establishment of an orphanage
Entering the Canglan Restaurant again, Wang Du immediately remembered the posture of the tiger idiot eating yesterday, and he really didn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention again.
So Wang Du asked the shopkeeper if there was still a box, but fortunately, because some guests temporarily unsubscribed, the upstairs box happened to be vacant, otherwise Wang Du could only sit in the hall and take the tiger idiot to perform for others.
Soon, the shopkeeper led a team of people to the box to pass the food to the box, just like yesterday, but Wang Du didn't find that there was more unusual meaning in the eyes of the shopkeeper looking at them today.
Exquisite dishes are constantly being served on the table, and among these dishes, a random dish is worth a year's income of ordinary people, and only a person like Wang Du, who has no clear concept of the currency of the Tianqian Continent, would be so extravagant.
The five children saw this large pile of delicious food, although they swallowed their saliva, but none of them moved, they were waiting, and they would not start eating until Wang Nianru told them that they could eat it.
But the tiger idiot didn't care about this, stood up and grabbed a roasted low-level demon beast, tore it into several large pieces in three strokes and two clicks, and then put it in front of the five children.
"Eat quickly, this is eating, why are you still shy?" After speaking, the tiger idiot grabbed a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
This tiger idiot is usually unusually shy when communicating with people, but as soon as he arrives at the dinner table, he is like a different person, and his gestures are full of the heroic feeling of eating meat and drinking a lot, and he can still see the appearance of half shyness there.
It wasn't until much later that Wang Du figured out the reason for this, and it turned out that the adoptive father of the tiger idiot had only taught the tiger idiot one truth in his life, that is: "You can't be shy when eating and fighting." ”
Because you are shy when you do these two things, you will either starve or be beaten. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't say much for the time being.
"Eat quickly, you can eat whatever you want with these things, you're welcome. When Wang Du saw that the five children did not eat, he also opened his mouth to persuade them.
But the result was the same, anyway, the five children just didn't eat, although they had swallowed seven or eight times in a short period of time.
In the end, Wang Nianru opened his mouth, and the group of children began to grab the meat distributed to them by the tiger idiot and eat it.
Wang Du really likes the character of these children, and he is very curious about how Wang Nianru taught this group of children who have eaten the last meal and the next meal to be so obedient in such a living environment.
The meal was eaten for another hour, but most of the time it was Wang Du's seven people watching the tiger idiot eat.
The appearance of the plates of food poured directly into his mouth once again deeply shocked Wang Du.
After eating, everyone returned to the Hospitable Inn, and at this time the innkeeper was already waiting for Wang Du in the inn with a person.
This person is the one who wants to sell the house, and he wants to move his family to the imperial capital, so he has to sell the house in Canglan City.
Wang Du asked Tiger Idiot and Wang Nianru to take their five children to rest in the inn, while he followed the innkeeper and the owner of the house to see the house.
Sitting in the carriage, after walking for about half an hour, Wang Du saw a big mansion, which was located outside the downtown area, and the environment was quite quiet, and it was really a good place to settle down.
After following the owner of the house inside and out, Wang Du was quite satisfied with the house and decided to buy it immediately.
In the end, Wang Du bought the house for 13,000 taels of gold, or 1,300,000 taels of silver.
At the same time as giving Wang Du the title deed and house deed, the original owner of the house also gave Wang Du the deed of sale of the original maids and servants, after all, he couldn't bring so many people to move to the imperial capital together, so he simply gave Wang Du a favor.
After the innkeeper sent the original owner of the house away, Wang Du took out a voucher of 1,000 taels, which was regarded as a reward for him.
But the innkeeper politely refused, on the grounds that the gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and the original owner of the house has already given him a commission, so it is not good to collect Wang Du's money again.
But Wang Du doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, aren't the intermediaries taken by both ends of the previous life everywhere?
He insisted that the innkeeper accept the 1,000 taels of vouchers, because he also needed the innkeeper's help to bring all the orphans in Canglan City to this mansion, and he planned to build an orphanage in this mansion.
The innkeeper naturally didn't understand what the orphanage was, and he asked Wang Du questions.
Wang Dudi told him that the orphanage is a place to adopt and take care of homeless orphans, so that they have a place to sleep, a place to eat, and a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
When the innkeeper heard Wang Du's words, his admiration for Wang Du immediately rose in his heart.
He didn't expect the young Wang Du to have such a compassionate heart, and the innkeeper who was deeply moved immediately said that all the orphans in Canglan City would be summoned within ten days, and all the expenses for calling the orphans would be borne by him, which could be regarded as doing his part of love.
After listening to the innkeeper's words, Wang Du's impression of him has been greatly improved again, from a certain point of view, this innkeeper is a microcosm of most people.
Then Wang Du called all the maids and servants in the house together, and there were nearly 100 people under the inventory.
Wang Du didn't intend to force these people to stay, he tore up everyone's deed of sale in front of everyone, and told them that from now on they would be free people, and those who wanted to leave could leave now, and those who wanted to stay could stay.
All the maids and servants were shocked by Wang Du's actions, and from the day they were sold to others as servants, they were ready to lose their freedom for the rest of their lives.
They didn't expect that someone would tear up their deed of sale today, give them back their freedom, and let them stay voluntarily.
For a moment, whispers rang out in the crowd.
After another quarter of an hour, a few bold people stood up, and they asked again if Wang Du could really leave freely, and after receiving Wang Du's affirmative answer, they finally mustered up the courage to choose to leave.
If someone takes the lead, more people will naturally choose to leave, after all, they have also saved some silver over the years, and now that there is an opportunity for them to regain their freedom, they naturally want to leave.
In the end, most of the maids and servants chose to leave, and only twenty-eight of the original nearly 100 people remained.
Wang Du looked at the twenty-eight people who stayed and said: "Since you are willing to stay, then you will be responsible for the daily work here in the future, I will arrange the specific work one by one, and you can also receive twenty taels of silver every month in the future." ”
Wang Du's words made the twenty-eight people left unbelievable, what is the concept of twenty taels of silver per month?
In the past, they couldn't save two taels of silver for a year, but now they can receive twenty taels of silver a month, which is simply a scene that they never dare to dream of.
Wang Du waved his hand to calm everyone's excited emotions, and just as he was about to arrange for these people to purchase daily necessities, a team of officers and soldiers rushed in.
