After returning to his courtyard, Zhao Hai sat in the living room and let out a long breath. When Laura saw Zhao Hai's appearance, she immediately poured Zhao Hai a cup of tea and said, "Brother Hai, what's wrong? You look tired, don't you? What did Smith say to you? "
Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "He didn't say anything, he was very polite. But dealing with them is very tiring, it's more tiring than fighting a war."
When Laura heard Zhao Hai, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course it's more tiring than fighting a war. In any case, you just sat in the back and commanded. You're not tired at all."
Zhao Hai looked at Laura, causing her to laugh. At this time, Megan came in from the outside. When she entered the living room, she looked at Zhao Hai with a smile and said, "Brother Hai, it seems like Uncle and the others have a good impression of you. That's great. With the support of Uncle and the others, we'll be able to do things more smoothly in the future."
Zhao smiled and said, "It's not that good. Today, when I was eating with Uncle, I noticed that Uncle and Uncle didn't talk about family matters. They just talked about daily life, which shows that they are still opponents. If Uncle and Uncle help us at this time, it will only help Uncle. I don't think Uncle would do such a thing, so you should just give up." Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't need to worry about it."
When Megan heard Zhao Hai, she sighed and didn't say anything. She knew that what Zhao Hai said was true. Her Uncle and the others were still very friendly towards their family. But if they were to fight for the throne, then they wouldn't be polite.
Zhao Hai looked at Megan's expression and comforted her, "Alright, it's alright, you don't need to think too much about it. I can see that Uncle and the others are people who know the severity of the situation. Moreover, Uncle also told me that the Calci Family has their own methods of surveillance. So there shouldn't be any problems, you don't need to worry too much."
Megan nodded, but it can be seen that she wasn't very happy. Zhao Hai couldn't do anything about it, this kind of fight for the throne could happen in any family.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then he changed the topic, "In a while, we'll send the seafood to Grandpa Gan. The festival is in two days, so I think we should go to the city to play. Carson City is filled with all kinds of goods from all over the world. Now that the festival is coming, there will definitely be more goods. We should go shopping and buy some good things."
Megan looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "Alright, we'll go to the city tomorrow. Brother Hai, what do you want to buy?"
Zhao smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I just want to see if there are any good things to buy. Tomorrow, take me to the slave market. Don't you think we should buy some slaves in the future?" Zhao smiled and said.
Megan nodded and said, "Yes, but Big Brother Hai, can we buy slaves now? Don't forget, after the new year, 100 thousand Beastman slaves will arrive in the Black Wasteland. "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I certainly didn't forget. Beastmen slaves don't know how to farm, but Human slaves do. After we buy Human slaves, we can also have Beastmen slaves farm. Moreover, Human slaves can also build simple houses, while Beastmen are used to living in tents. There are a lot of differences in their living habits. Therefore, buying some Human slaves would be good for us." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Megan nodded and said, "Alright, but the slave market isn't in the city, it's outside the city. I think we should wait until after the festival. During the festival, the slave market will have a lot of people. We should wait until there are fewer people before we go."
Zhao Hai stared, "Why would there be a lot of people at this time? If there are a lot of people and we're late, then wouldn't the slaves be taken away by others? "
Megan smiled and said, "During the holidays, a lot of Great Clans would be very busy. So they would find some decent slaves and have them come to the mansion to help. If these slaves do well, then they would have a better life in the future. Moreover, during this year, there were a lot of slaves who died of illness and exhaustion. So most Great Clans would use this opportunity to buy new slaves. Don't worry, Brother Hai, there are a lot of slaves in the slave market, they wouldn't be able to pick them out."
Zhao Hai frowned and said, "Where do these slaves come from? Why are there so many of them?"
Laura smiled and said, "Brother Hai, you don't know about this. Some of these slaves are commoners who can't pay taxes, but they can't pay back the money they borrowed. Therefore, they were bought as slaves. There are also people who have been slaves for generations. Once their children grow up, or old slaves who can't do any work, they would be sold. Because of this, there's never a shortage of slaves in the continent." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Zhao Hai sighed and didn't say anything. He knew that this was the current situation of the continent. With his current ability, it was impossible for him to change it. He could only do his part and help the people that he can help.
Megan also knew about Zhao Hai's thoughts. When she first saw Zhao Hai restoring slaves to commoners, she was very surprised. However, she was also a kind person, so when Megan explained it to her, she immediately understood Zhao Hai's thoughts. She approved of Zhao Hai's approach. Now that she saw that Zhao Hai wasn't happy, she immediately changed the topic and said, "Brother Hai, let's go and deliver the seafood to Grandpa Gan. This way, he can prepare himself."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he stood up. Laura and the others also stood up and smiled, "We'll go as well. Let's take a look at Dark Soldier Fort and see how it differs from our Iron Mountain Fort."
Megan smiled and said, "Alright, but there are some places in Dark Soldier Fort that people aren't allowed to enter. However, there are other places that we can visit. Let's go, I'll take you there." Then Laura and the others went out. Zhao Hai could only smile bitterly as he followed behind them.
When they went out, a servant immediately came forward to greet them. Megan had the servant lead them to Gan. Gan's status in the mansion was very special, even Randolph respected him. If he didn't like someone, he would just open his mouth and scold them. Although he had a fiery temper, he was very good to his servants. Because of this, the servants in the mansion were very respectful to him. If they made a mistake and got scolded by Gan, they wouldn't hold a grudge.
Zhao Hai and the others quickly found Gan. Gan was currently in the kitchen. Since God's Grace Day was approaching, a place like Dark Soldier Fort would need to have a lot of ingredients. This was because there would always be banquets going on here. If there aren't enough ingredients, then it would be very shameful.
At this time, Gan was inspecting the kitchen's warehouse. Because of this, Gan didn't have any impatient expression as he carefully inspected the warehouse.
When Zhao Hai entered the warehouse, he couldn't help but stare. There were a lot of things inside the warehouse. There were even some ingredients that he hadn't seen before.
At this time, the servant went to Gan's side and said something. Gan stared, then he turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Hai and the others. Gan's impression of Zhao Hai was very good, so he quickly walked over and laughed, "Little Hai, Little Megan, why did you come here? Do you want to see what's good to eat? Don't worry, if there's something good to eat, I won't forget about you. "
Megan ran to Gan's side and hugged his arm as she said, "Grandpa Gan, Brother Hai came to give you something. If you don't want it, then you'll regret it."
Gan stared, then he turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, do you have something good? What is it? Let me take a look. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then with a wave of his hand, a large pile of things appeared in the courtyard. Among them were swordfish, crabs, and the like. These things weren't small at all.
These were things that Zhao Hai had Cai 'er cultivate. They were much bigger than the ones in the sea, making them very eye-catching.
When Gan saw these things, he couldn't help but be surprised. Then his eyes shone, these things were very good, especially those swordfish and crabs. These things were very rare in the continent, even if they were seen, they wouldn't be this big. If these things were made into dishes, then when the banquet was held, it would surely shock the people who came to the banquet.
In the past few years, there weren't any new ingredients in the banquets. Everyone only ate the same things, there was nothing new. Therefore, with these things, the Calci Family's banquet would surely be very interesting.
The things that Zhao Hai took out were all dead, they were frozen. However, this wasn't a problem for Gan. Everyone in the Calci Family had their own cold storage. Large magic formations were used to cool things, they could also be used to cool things down during the summer.
After looking at them for some time, Gan turned his head to Zhao Hai and laughed, "Good kid, you really do have some good things. Good, with these things, our Buda Clan's banquet will surely be very interesting. Very good, very good."
Megan looked at Gan and smiled, "What do you think, Grandpa Gan? I told you that Brother Hai has good things in his hands. You should quickly take them away, otherwise they would melt. Alright, let's go. Laura and the others said that they want to visit the mansion, I'll show them around."
Gan didn't stop them, he just nodded and said, "Go, go. Little Hai, why don't you go with the girls? Come with me, let's have a good drink."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he stayed behind while Megan and the others chatted and laughed as they left. Gan wasn't polite to Zhao Hai, he directly led Zhao Hai to the kitchen and had the cook prepare two side dishes. Then he took out a pot of wine and sat down to drink with Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai was on Earth, he would often drink with two or three of his old friends. He wouldn't drink too much, he would just drink while chatting. But ever since he came to the Ark Continent, he didn't have such an opportunity. Now that Gan was here, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel warm.
