Now that there's a recommendation, I don't have to run around naked anymore. I'm very happy. I hope that everyone will collect it and click on it a lot. As long as everyone works hard, Mingming's updates will also be good.
The slaves weren't stupid, and almost all of them knew how to cook. In the past, when they were in the hands of other slave masters, every time it was time to eat, the slave master's supervisors would randomly select two people from their ranks to cook. Therefore, the slaves weren't unfamiliar with cooking.
Adding on the fact that cooking rice was very simple, it didn't take long for the slaves to fill the seven pots with rice. Zhao Hai also took out several large copper basins for them to use as lids for the pots.
These military stoves didn't have a special lid, so they didn't need it. Everyone knew that these military stoves weren't used by the general army, only the slaves used them. And for the slaves, giving them a bite to eat was already good enough, so they didn't care about whether it was delicious or not.
On the other hand, the slaves didn't know how to make soup, so they didn't know how to make it. When they were in the hands of other slave masters, the food they ate wasn't as good as the Buda Clan's. In the hands of other slave masters, sometimes they could only eat things like rice bran or moldy rice. Because of this, there were a lot of slaves dying in the continent every day. But for slave masters, the death of slaves wasn't a big deal, they could just buy more.
Because of this, the slaves were now looking at the vegetables and fruit oil in a daze. Daisy naturally understood the feelings of these slaves. She was also a commoner before, so she knew some simple dishes.
Daisy went to an empty pot, picked up the fruit oil, and poured it into the pot. This was the first time that Zhao Hai paid attention to this fruit oil. The color of this fruit oil was slightly yellow, and it was very clear. He heard that it was extracted from a fruit with a very high oil content. This fruit was grown in many places in the continent, so the fruit oil was very cheap.
After Daisy waited for the oil to heat up, she put the vegetables into the pot and did a simple stir-fry. Then she poured water into the pot and threw in two pieces of salt. As long as the water boiled, the soup would be ready.
This was the simplest soup. There was almost no technical content, no seasoning, and only a little bit of coarse salt. This was already the best treatment for slaves.
In the continent, salt wasn't cheap. Generally, nobles used refined salt. This kind of salt was very fine, similar to the refined salt on Earth. However, the coarse salt used by slaves was very cheap. Of course, there were also a lot of impurities.
But even so, except for the Buda clan, these slaves didn't get to eat salt every day. The other slaves were mainly given salt every three days, which was considered generous. Generally, slave masters would give their slaves salt once a week, and the amount wasn't much.
These days, Zhao Hai was busy with the Space and the future development of the Black Wasteland. Therefore, he wasn't very clear about the living conditions of these slaves. Regarding what Daisy was doing, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong. He thought that every slave in the continent lived like this. Maybe the slaves in his family lived a bit worse. After all, they didn't have that many supplies for these slaves to use.
Looking at the simple soup made by Daisy, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh. Meg, who was standing next to him, asked, "Young Master, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Did they use too much salt? Do you want to reduce it a bit? "
Zhao Hai looked at Meg with a puzzled expression and said, "Too much? How could it be too much? For such a big pot, they only used a little bit of salt, how could it be too much? I'm thinking that our Buda clan is still too weak right now. We can only let them eat such simple food. Later on, when we have money, we will let them eat meat. "
After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he felt that everyone's gaze on him was somewhat strange. The slaves looked at him as if they had seen a ghost. Zhao Hai didn't know what was going on.
He looked at Meg with a puzzled expression and whispered, "Meg, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "
Meg looked at Zhao Hai's appearance and couldn't help but sigh. She knew that although the Buda clan had slaves before, Zhao Hai had never left the Imperial Capital. He also didn't have any contact with the slaves. Naturally, he didn't know what kind of life they lived. Therefore, she whispered to Zhao Hai about the living conditions of the slaves.
Zhao Hai listened in a daze. For a person who was born in a new society, who grew up under the red flag, who was born to catch up with the reform and opening up, the kind of life Meg spoke of was so far away from him. It was like those people who had experienced the old society would resonate with the white-haired girl in Beijing opera, but it was very difficult for them to resonate with people who were born in the eighties. This was because they didn't have that kind of experience. What was written in the book was in detail, but it was also something in the book. How could it be compared to personal experience?
After Meg simply finished talking about the living conditions of the slaves, Zhao Hai turned his head to look at the slaves. His eyes were full of sympathy. He sighed and said, "Rest assured, I will do what I say. Sooner or later, I will let you eat meat. Moreover, I will let you eat meat every day, every meal until you are tired. I swear in the name of the Buda clan."
Zhao Hai was a kind person. Although he was an otaku back on Earth, otakus were somewhat timid. In addition to other things, they were also very kind people. Perhaps their social skills weren't good, but that didn't mean that they were abnormal. In fact, most otakus couldn't get used to the darkness of the world, so they chose to lock themselves in their own world. Zhao Hai was such a person.
After arriving in the Ark Continent, Zhao's identity had changed. He was now a noble with a territory, and he had more than a hundred slaves to feed. With a single word, he could decide the life and death of more than a hundred people. This gave Zhao a sense of responsibility, and he believed that it was his responsibility to make these people's lives better. Therefore, he wholeheartedly wanted to develop his own territory, which was why he said those words.
The slaves all excitedly knelt on the ground. They kowtowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Thank you, Master, for your reward!"
Although they hadn't received anything yet, Zhao Hai's words were enough. The nobles of the continent had a very strange tradition. They didn't easily swear, and even if they did, they wouldn't swear in the name of their family. This was because even if they swore in the name of God, they would still violate their oath. However, if they swore in the name of their family, they wouldn't violate it.
It was because of this that the slaves believed in Zhao Hai's words. They believed that Zhao Hai's oath in the name of his family would be fulfilled one day.
Meg opened her mouth but didn't say anything. These days, she had been in charge of the slaves. To be honest, she also sympathized with them. Because of this, she didn't oppose Zhao Hai's words.
At this time, Merine's voice was heard, "Young Master, it's time to eat."
Zhao Hai nodded and turned his head to look at everyone. He then said to Meg, Daisy and Ann, "Meg, Daisy, Ann, let's go in and eat."
Daisy and Ann originally wanted to stay and eat, but when they saw Zhao Hai's appearance, they didn't say anything and followed the two into the house. Blockhead and Rockhead also followed in.
When they entered the house, the slaves became even more unrestrained. Although Zhao Hai had always been very kind to them, for these slaves, Zhao Hai was always their master. With Zhao Hai here, they would feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Hai and the others entered the house. Sure enough, Merine had already made the pancakes and soup. Zhao Hai actually wanted to eat rice, but looking at Merine's appearance, he feared that there wouldn't be any hope today.
There were only four chairs at the square table in the house, but Zhao Hai casually took out three chairs from the warehouse. This way, seven people could sit. Although the table wasn't as big as the table in the castle's dining hall, it was enough for seven people to eat.
After Zhao Hai let them sit down, he took a knife and fork and began to eat the pancakes made by Merine. In fact, he didn't want to use a knife and fork, but unfortunately, Merine wouldn't agree.
Needless to say, the pancakes made in this way really had a different flavor. The taste was pretty good. Zhao Hai and the others slowly finished their dinner. Merine cleaned up everything. When they went outside, the slaves had already finished eating.
The camp stove was still there, but it was obvious that it had already been cleaned. The slaves also seemed to be very full. They were sitting there, looking very listless.
Zhao Hai knew that after eating, people would feel sleepy. Thinking about it, these slaves were the same. Zhao Hai didn't let them get up. He just glanced at the garbage on the ground and frowned.
This was his space. Although Zhao Hai wasn't a clean freak, he didn't want the space to be dirty. However, these things could only be left in the space.
Looking at the garbage, Zhao Hai couldn't help but look at the sky above the space. The space was still foggy, so he couldn't see anything clearly. Fortunately, he didn't see any black smoke floating in the sky. It seemed that the fire in the space didn't have a big impact on the space.
Zhao Hai turned to Merine and said, "Grandma Merine, I think you should rest in the house. Now that they've just eaten, they should be tired. Let them rest."
Merlin glanced at the slaves and found that they seemed to be very lethargic. He could only nod and say, "Alright, let's take a rest first. However, we don't need to rest in the house. We can just rest outside."
Zhao Hai quickly said, "Grandma Merine, Meg, Blockhead, Rockhead, come with me. I have something to show you." After saying that, he opened the door of the thatched hut and went inside.
Although Merine and the others didn't know what Zhao Hai wanted to show them, they still obediently followed him. Merine and the others knew that they didn't understand the space as well as Zhao Hai. In this space, it was better to listen to Zhao Hai.
