Roman Slave Owner

Why do you recruit so many guards? Don't you know that this is very expensive?

Tullius continued to ask.

Protect my property. If anyone dares to get my hands on my white sugar formula, I will fight him.

Li Wei said viciously.

Tullius nodded, which made sense, but he still didn't believe it. He felt that Li Wei's purpose should not be so simple.

Also, if Sura dares to attack the mainland, I will lead the army to drive him into the sea.

Li Wei said proudly.

Tullius gave him a contemptuous look, and you beat Sura into the sea, and a hundred of you tied one of them would not be Sura's opponent.

I tried a few more times, but I couldn't find anything, so I could only tell my last goal.

We plan to hold a banquet in a few days. It is a gathering of young people from Capua. I hope you can come to attend.

In the West, it is very normal for nobles to hold banquets. This is their formal social occasion, and banquets are often held every two days.

It's just that Li Wei feels a little nervous. I'm so excited to think about whether there are naked women dancing on TV, and whether there are all kinds of drunken lives.

no problem.

Li Wei said expectantly.

After Tullius left, Yulia gently squeezed Li Wei's shoulder, and said softly, Master, I think he has other purposes.

You're right, you need to be careful when dealing with those nobles, or you might be sold by them and count the money for them.

Li Wei also took off his disguise, so fucking tired.

He doesn't like dealing with nobles, but the reality forces him to do so.

He suddenly remembered that this is the high society that many people in the previous life pursued.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Levi's shop in Capua finally opened.

The shop is not big, covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters.

But it is located in the core area of ​​Capua, which cost Levi a lot of dinars.

Li Wei sells luxury goods, so it is natural to have a high standard.

The products sold are mainly white sugar, in addition to a small amount of cakes and bread, which are mainly designed to promote white sugar.

Several excellent actors danced to the sound of music, which attracted applause from the surrounding crowd.

Ten guards in patched armor hung short swords on their waists, and looked at everyone majestically.

Behind them were walls of marble, and the gates were bronze overlaid with silver.

Under the sunlight, it reflects a faint silver light.

This shocked the Roman civilians, it was really inhumane.

There is a wax board hanging outside the door, which says 10% discount during the opening period, only 27 dinars per pound.

This made the corners of everyone's mouths twitch. A pound costs 27 dinars. This is money grabbing.

Such an expensive price scares away most people, and they only dare to discuss it in a low voice outside.

If I had money, I would definitely buy it. I heard that people in the Sykes family said it was delicious after eating it. It was so sweet that people could get tired of it. If this kind of thing was added to the bread, it would be even more delicious. Let alone eat it, just smell it. Just call it sweet.

That's right, even if you don't eat it yourself, if you can transport it to Rome, you can sell it for a lot of money.

If I would definitely ship it to the Parthian Empire (Parthian Empire), it would be a powerful empire, and the price would at least triple there.

Three times? More than five times! The royal family and nobles there are very rich!

Actually, shipping to Egypt is also good.

...

Some people in the crowd kept inciting. Hearing this, many people were very moved. Even if they don’t eat it, it’s not bad to buy it and start a business.

They heard that Cassius had bought a lot and shipped them to Rome, but they didn't know how they sold.

At this moment, a burst of baked bread smelled from inside, causing people to swallow their saliva.

Just now a person went inside and took a look. Those bread and cakes are just samples, but the price is terribly expensive.

Each of them needs a few dinars, so they can only drool.

What they didn't know was that Levi arranged a lot of trustees to guide people to buy.

It can only be said that the Romans were too simple and did not understand how deep the routines of later generations were.

Get out of the way, get out of the way if you don't buy it.

At this moment, several guards pushed the Roman citizens away, making way for a middle-aged man wearing a white toga.

The middle-aged man showed a warm smile on his face, and lightly reprimanded the guards. The guards quickly apologized for their rude behavior, which aroused the goodwill of the people around him. Noble birth.

Standing inside the door were two youthful girls who looked almost identical. They were wearing strange brown tight short-sleeved dresses with slightly open necklines. You could faintly see a touch of whiteness inside. They wore brown knee-length skirts on their lower bodies. A touch of sexiness.

After seeing the middle-aged man, Qiqi bowed and said, Welcome.

The middle-aged man glanced at the two young girls, and felt a heart-wrenching feeling spontaneously.

What a pair of beautiful girls, if only...

A lustful light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He coughed lightly, and then said with a straight face, Are you twins?

Yes.

The two girls spoke almost simultaneously.

What kind of clothes are you wearing? The style is a bit strange.

Said the middle-aged man.

This is our work clothes, which the owner designed for us.

Said a girl.

That Levi?

That's right.

Nice clothes.

Said the middle-aged man.

What he didn't know was that this was a hot work uniform that Li Wei had seen in his previous life, and he was very impressed, so he designed it.

Thank you for your compliment.

My name is Nias, and I'm a senior member of the Roman Senate. I came to Capua because of something. I live in my manor outside the city these days. You can find out if you inquire about it. I will live next to your master's manor Yes. If you are free these two days, I hope you can come as guests, and I will welcome you.

There was a hint of eagerness in the middle-aged man's eyes.

The two girls glanced at each other, and a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes. They turned out to be an old pervert, so shameless that they wanted to take both, but the disdain quickly disappeared, revealing their professionalism. smile.

we know.

Nias nodded, and then looked at the things in the shop.

There are exquisite breads and pastries on the food cabinets on both sides of the shop, just from the appearance, it will make people's appetite whet.

The whole store is not only clean and tidy, but also has a novel and luxurious layout, which Nias likes very much.

This is the shop that nobles should come to. The previous shops are all low.

Nias pointed to a butter bread and said, Is this the bread you make with white sugar?
