Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 5 The Germanic General

He bowed his head in thought for a while, and then took out some sugar samples from his body.

Remus, do you know this thing?

Levi said.

what is this?

Remus said suspiciously.

Sugar, a very sweet thing, you pay for it.

Levi said.

Remus put some white sugar into his mouth, and after a long time, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Good stuff! So sweet!

This is a recently popular food among our Capuan nobles. It's called white sugar, and it's extremely expensive. I managed to get some. Are you interested?

Levi tried hard to sell.

How much is a pound?

Remus asked.

Naturally, his ship can't go back empty, and he needs to buy some goods.

Thirty dinars a pound.

Levi said.

So expensive!

Remus couldn't help being taken aback.

What I eat here is not sugar, what I eat is basically dinars.

This is a good item that only knights and nobles can afford. Of course it is expensive. And the production is limited. If you sell it late, you may not be able to buy it.

Levi said.

Remus was a little moved. Out of a businessman's keen sense of smell, he felt that white sugar was a really good thing.

But Li Wei's asking price was too high, and he was a little undecided.

Seeing that Remus had no intention of taking the bait, Li Wei smiled slightly, and a slave behind him immediately took out a food box.

He opened the box, pointed to the bread and cake inside and said, Try it.

These breads and cakes are exquisitely crafted, and some are coated with butter, exuding a faint sweet smell, which makes people's mouths open when they look at them.

Remus took a tiger skin cake, and took a light bite.

Really delicious.

Remus said with admiration.

This cake is different from other cakes in that it has an incomparable sweetness, which other cakes cannot provide.

And human beings are addicted to sweets, and the younger the child, the more this is the case.

These are breads and cakes with sugar added. Believe me, Remus, this stuff will fetch a lot of money.

Li Wei said with a smile.

The most important thing for human beings is food, clothing, housing and transportation. Unlike Easterners who mainly eat pasta, Westerners eat a lot of food such as bread.

Sugar is the most important raw material of bread. It is hard for Li Wei to imagine how unpalatable bread without sugar is.

Bread with added sugar will surely become popular in the aristocratic circle quickly and become a must-have food for the aristocrats.

Thinking about the terrible consumption of bread and cakes in the West, Levi seems to have seen the piles of dinars beckoning to him.

Remus also understood this, but the price was still too high.

Can you lower the price?

Li Wei shook his head: I can guarantee that no matter who it is, it will be at this price.

Let me think about it again.

Remus rolled his eyes and said.

As an outstanding businessman, he still understands the truth of shopping around. Maybe there is a place that is cheaper than Li Wei, but he doesn't know that he is going to make a mistake.

All right then.

Li Wei is not in a hurry, he believes that his white sugar will not worry about selling at all.

Patriarch, I found that there are many good slaves here. One of them is very good. I think you must take it down. With him, we are likely to win the championship of Capua and even the entire Campania. Even The champion of Rome can also give it a try.

Carus said excitedly at this time.

Really? Which one?

Li Wei said with great interest.

it's him!

Carus pointed to a half-squatting big man and said.

This big guy has light-colored hair,

The eyeballs are also a little shallow, and the face is full of fierce breath.

Due to the shackles, he could only squat halfway, but he looked much taller than other big men.

You'd better not go there. He hasn't been trained yet.

Remus said, Your vision is really good. He is a very good warrior. He killed many of us in the battle with our Gaul tribe. We managed to capture him. It is best to be able to Let him die in the arena.

What's his name?

Li Wei said in surprise.

The height of this big man is estimated to be over 1.9 meters, which is very rare in this era, at least Li Wei has never encountered it.

Aren't you going to give the gladiator a new name? Don't ask for his name.

Remus said with twinkling eyes.

Li Wei felt that there were some problems, but out of love for this big man, he still asked, How much is he worth?

1500 dinars.

Remus said with a smile, and at the same time lightly licked his lower lip, as if he had found a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Everyone couldn't help but gasped, it was so expensive.

Li Wei cursed secretly, it must be the urgent tone of Carus just now that made him raise the price.

Your price is too high. Even the champion of Capua may not be worth so much. 1000 dinars.

Li Wei shook his head, and started to cut the price.

No! The price is not high at all! He is the general of a tribe of Sbeby. The generals of the Germans are selected entirely by force! That is to say, he is the strongest warrior of that Sbebe tribe! He is worth this price!

Look at his figure, as long as he trains a little bit, it will be easy to win the championship in Capua. At that time, countless dinars will roll in. If he wins the championship in Campania again, then That's a lot of money. 1500 dinars are not much at all!

Remus said with a smile.

Li Wei was shocked, he didn't expect him to be a general.

I think he should be bought. If he is really a general of the Speybi tribe, there is at least a 90% chance that he will become the god of war in Capua, and he may even become a legend.

Carus said excitedly.

As a trainer, he is eager to train one champion after another. This general is undoubtedly a good talent.

Can I trade him for sugar?

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

His economy is a bit tight, and the cash flow of the entire family does not add up to 1,000 dinars.

He was a little worried that he would be snatched away by someone else!

this one……

Remus looked reserved.

Fifty pounds of sugar!

Levi said.

Let me think about it again.

Remus said.

Damn it, the bloody vampire.

60 pounds of sugar! I can guarantee that the price of 30 dinars per pound is the lowest price. If someone offers a lower price, I will pay twice as much.

Levi said.

Haha, since that's the case, I agree.

Remus said with a laugh.

Li Wei cursed secretly, this guy is really a treacherous guy, no wonder the business is getting better and better.

He ordered someone to fetch white sugar to trade with him. The night would be full of dreams, and he didn't want any changes in the deal.

Soon someone brought the white sugar, and after getting the white sugar, Remus carefully stuffed a little into his mouth.

It's so sweet!

Remus exclaimed.

Mine are all genuine.

Levi said.

And what about the other slaves?

Remus asked.
