When bowls of congee mixed with cauliflower and minced meat were brought to the table, everyone gulped.
Pairs of hungry eyes, if it were not for the threat of the slavery chip, they would have pounced on the food like beasts.
Jiang Chen looked at the refugees' expressions with satisfaction. They were all his slaves, but he was more willing to treat them as his employees, provided they were honest. For example, Jiang Chen was pleased that before he gave his permission, no one rushed up to steal the congee.
Gulp …
With a bitter smile, Jiang Chen looked at Sun Jiao standing next to him. The foodie also gulped and lowered her voice to whisper.
"Didn't you just eat? Why are you hungry again …"
"None of your business …" Sun Jiao threatened as she looked away with a blushing face.
It was not that she was hungry, but it was an instinctive reaction when she saw food …
He put Sun Jiao aside for now.
"Ahem, what are you waiting for? Let's eat." Jiang Chen raised his hand and called the hungry refugees to eat.
The sound was like the sound of nature.
To Jiang Chen saying "let's eat", almost all the slaves were so grateful that they had this thought.
Actually, these refugees were honest people and easy to control. All they wanted was to have two full meals a day. Even without the restraint of the chip, after seeing Jiang Chen's generosity, no idiot would choose to have evil thoughts. And no idiot would have the ability to find someone equally idiotic to have evil thoughts with them.
Of course, as a deterrent, the chip's effect could not be ignored.
"Don't rush, eat slowly. After 20 minutes, if you are not full, you can line up and come back here for another bowl. Of course, if any of you dare to puke it out, I'll make you eat it all back! " Jiang Chen stood next to the cauldron as he watched the slaves walk up one by one and carefully pour the congee into their bowls.
"You are so disgusting …" Sun Jiao whispered into Jiang Chen's ear.
"I can't let these people who have never seen rice waste food, right?" Jiang Chen shrugged and whispered.
"… This meal consumed two pounds of rice, two pieces of meat jerky, and three cabbages. You've already taken out a lot of the food in the cellar to trade for supplies, the rest … "
The canned food that was easy to store was basically sold out. The remaining rice, vegetables, and other fresh food were originally planned for the three of them to eat for a month. However, now that there were 30 more mouths to feed, the amount of food in the cellar was naturally not enough. Since he bought it from the supermarket, there wouldn't be a lot of it.
"Hold on, hold on. These things aren't worth much over at my place. At most, I'll just go back and get another batch." Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile. At the same time, he was calculating in his mind if he should rent a warehouse in the suburbs and buy some food without packaging through wholesale.
It was too troublesome to hold the sandpaper file every time.
But speaking of which, the barbaric Miss Sun Jiao was becoming more and more like a meticulous housekeeper. The pout in her eyes at his "wasteful behavior" inexplicably made Jiang Chen's heart burn with passion.
This chick, is she starting to evolve in the direction of a civilized person? She's getting more and more alluring …
Jiang Chen touched his burning nose and looked away from the side of her face.
The mansion now was not as empty as before. With more people, it was natural to pay attention to intimate occasions.
Looking at the empty bowls that didn't even have a single grain of rice left, as well as the pairs of eyes that were filled with fear but were mostly filled with gratitude, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh. Jiang Chen coughed again and signaled everyone to look at him.
"Are you all full?"
No one spoke.
"If you still want to eat tomorrow, then you better answer every one of my questions." Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Yes!" Everyone cautiously opened their mouths.
Jiang Chen nodded, pleased.
"Very good. After hearing your answers, I'm sure I'm not raising a group of pigs that don't even know how to speak. My words may sound harsh, but that's because you're nothing to me right now! I've saved you from hunger and given you unimaginable riches, and you have to prove your worth! Prove that you're worthy of eating three meals a day!
That's right, I'll let you eat three meals a day. But don't be too happy yet, lazy people don't get a share! I'm too lazy to be your master because that means I have the obligation to keep you in captivity. Compared to a master, you can treat me as your boss. And I will treat you as my employees. However, the price of being fired may be a bit high. Hehe, I don't think I need to say more. "
No one objected.
To Jiang Chen who gave them food and didn't mistreat them, they had no other thoughts other than gratitude. As to what they called him, it didn't matter at all. Even if Jiang Chen asked them to call him dad, they would.
Dignity? That was what people who could eat their fill sought after.
But as a civilized person, Jiang Chen still gave them a certain amount of dignity. This was also for his own consideration. Cute girls were fine, but a group of men calling him master every day would only give him goosebumps. After all, most of the slaves were male.
More importantly, this was also to prevent his own conscience from changing after being called "Master" over and over again.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Jiang Chen adjusted his mentality and continued to speak loudly.
"Rome wasn't built in a day, and you are the first group of pioneers to join my cause! I will bring order and prosperity to this land of chaos, and all of you must contribute to my ideals. Similarly, I will give you food to prevent you from starving. That's all for the nonsense. Starting tomorrow, everyone has work to do. Clean up the bowls and chopsticks on your own accord. Then, those who I call stay, the rest can go back first. Remember, the main building of the mansion is a restricted area. Anyone who enters without permission will be killed. "
In the last sentence, Jiang Chen's tone carried a hint of coldness.
He checked the 30 heart rate indicators in the slave program downloaded from the EP and nodded in satisfaction. Their heart rate fluctuated slightly, but it was generally normal, which meant they didn't have any thoughts that they shouldn't have.
When they heard that they were dismissed, everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and went to the sink under Yaoyao's guidance. Thanks to the fully automated water treatment system, even in the apocalypse, clean water still supplied the entire city.
The person whose name was called walked in front of Jiang Chen with trepidation. They didn't know what the master would do to them.
"Zhou Jiexi."
"Yes." Zhou Jiexi bit her lips and bowed to Jiang Chen while staring at the ground. She had a husband who loved her very much. To be honest, she was a bit worried that Jiang Chen would have some evil thoughts towards her. If that was the case, she wouldn't even be able to resist. And for the sake of her husband's life, she could only submit in humiliation.
But she was thinking too much. Although she did have some charm, Jiang Chen wasn't a good wife type, and he wasn't interested in forcing her.
Especially since Miss Sun Jiao was watching from the side.
"You don't have to be so nervous, I won't eat you." Jiang Chen shrugged and said to the two men and two women. Then he looked at the young woman. "You know how to cook?"
"Mhmm." It was a strange question, but Zhou Jiexi still nodded honestly. As a qualified wife, of course she knew how to cook. But ever since she woke up in the hibernation chamber with her husband, she hadn't seen the rice for a long time.
"Then you'll be responsible for the food for these 30 people. I'll give you the specific recipe in a bit." Jiang Chen didn't care about Zhou Jiexi's expression as he flipped to the next piece of paper. "Wang Qin."
"Here!" The girl with freckles looked timid and was shocked by Jiang Chen's voice.
"It's not like the elementary school teacher is calling the roll. Yes is fine." Jiang Chen smiled in front of the four people's shocked eyes and went straight to the point. "You're an accounting major, so you'll be responsible for the storage. I'll give you a key to the basement. I want every withdrawal and deposit to be recorded. This mission is very important, and I won't allow you to make any mistakes. Do you understand? "
"Understood!"
Very good. Her voice was a bit soft, but her aura was not bad. Jiang Chen was satisfied.
He was especially satisfied with her timid personality.
"Lu Huasheng." What a weird name. Braised peanuts? Jiang Chen almost couldn't hold in his laughter.
"Yes." The middle-aged man with a serious look nodded carefully.
"I heard you're the designer of Huajian Real Estate?"
"That's before the war." Lu Huasheng forced a smile.
"I don't care when it happened. I need you to redesign this survival base for me. That's right, I want to build a survival base larger than the Sixth Street. But let's take it slow. Start around the mansion. I need you to draw a blueprint with the mansion as the center. Double the radius of the base. How to place the walls, where to place them, how much material to use, and the location of the survivors' housing. I'm sure you know more than me. I want to see the results tomorrow morning at six. "
"I need a holographic computer and a holographic memory card," Lu Huasheng said cautiously. "I need them to draw."
"Take them." Jiang Chen didn't even blink. Jiang Chen bought more than ten of these cheap second-hand goods from the electronic market at the Sixth Street. He didn't lack them.
"Okay, that's all for now. You three can leave now."
The three of them let out a sigh of relief. They looked at their companions with sympathy before leaving with their bowls and chopsticks.
"Um, boss, what about me?" The person left behind was a skinny middle-aged man with glasses. He didn't look like he could do any physical labor. Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't say anything, he scratched his head uncomfortably and asked in a small voice.
The other three people all received work arrangements, but the young boss didn't give any instructions, which made him feel anxious. He couldn't help but wonder if he had offended this boss in some way.
