Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In this small hotel called 'Manhattan International Hotel', there are many minors like this child. The oldest among them is only twelve years old, and there are both boys and girls.

    ¡°These children came to Manhattan from Virginia to find a way to survive. Most of them in Virginia could only work as beggars to support their lives.

    ¡°Compared with their previous lives, their lives are completely different from the sky and the earth.

    Therefore, the children who work in hotels now cherish their current work and life very much.  And all of them work very hard, trying to save enough money to buy a house in Manhattan before they reach adulthood.

    At this time, in Manhattan, there were no regulations prohibiting the use and employment of child labor.

    Because children in this era are obviously more mature than those in the 21st century.

    This kind of precocity does not refer to a certain aspect, but to their mentality, outlook on life and experience.

    At the beginning, Zhao Hongyu and the others also had a dispute over the use of child labor.

    In the end, Zhao Hongyu compromised.

    Because there are many children in Manhattan who have no skills and cannot become soldiers.  If they are not given a way to make a living, many people will definitely starve to death in the winter.

    ¡°And the Indian children near Manhattan, even when they are young, will go hunting and come to Manhattan to sell.  Even if it's a hare or something.

    Therefore, the employment of child labor has become a default fact in Manhattan.

    At the same time, the intelligence department in charge of Wang Shan reported back to Zhao Hongyu that these Virginia children who came to Manhattan had no loyalty to their country, but had a good impression of the Song people who hired them to work.

    These children also work very hard and cherish this hard-won life.

    This made Zhao Hongyu feel that this was the right step.

    After the boy said goodbye to Lux, he left his room and went to the next room. He continued to knock on the door and asked if he needed anything, such as buying breakfast or other things.

    This was the first time Lukes encountered such service, but it made him feel very warm, and even made him feel like he was already a noble lord.

    Yes, only noble men can have such considerate servants to serve them.

    ¡°In fact, how did he know that this kind of service is nothing in the 21st century, it is simply too normal.

    The owner of this hotel has only done a little bit of work, and has already convinced many Europeans who have stayed in this hotel and become its loyal customers.

    There are many hotels like this near the Port of Manhattan.

    There are no less than fifteen or six hotels such as ¡®Dubai Seven Stars¡¯, ¡®Desert Palace¡¯ and ¡®White House¡¯.  Almost every one has its own characteristics and can attract loyal repeat customers.

    Ahem, of course, these hotels also have child labor working for them.

    Therefore, near the piers of Manhattan, you can often see scenes of teenagers shouting at each other and soliciting customers for their hotels.

    Slowly closing the door, Lux walked into the bathroom.

    He took off his clothes, walked into the barrel and let the hot water pour on himself.

    It¡¯s so comfortable!

    The temperature of the water is just right, not too hot but still making people feel hot.

    "For three yuan a month, businessmen in Manhattan are much kinder than businessmen in Europe. Taking care of three meals a day is simply a good person."

    Lukes closed his eyes and muttered quietly to himself.

    He thought of his own childhood, which was much more miserable than these children.

    At that time, eating two meals a day was a dream. Most of the time, it was one meal a day, and it was not possible to eat mushy oats every time.

    The water in the barrel gradually rose to cover his neck, and Lux ??groaned in comfort.

    Perhaps because he was too comfortable, Lukes actually fell asleep.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Lukes was woken up by the deputy who had returned.

    He fetched some water and washed his face, making himself more awake.

    ¡°What time is it now?¡±

    Lukes stood up in the barrel, picked up the soap on the edge of the barrel, and started rubbing it on his body according to the boy's instructions.

    Soon, Lux willThe toilet was lathered, and the greasy stains on his body began to be rubbed away.

    This thing is quite useful.

    Seeing that the dirt on his body was easily wiped away, Lux was happy.

    "It's just been an hour. Captain, I bought some steamed buns. I saw many people buying this kind of food. I think it must be delicious."

    The deputy stood aside and looked at Lukes taking a shower.

    "I bought it there. What are the buns?"

    "Yesterday at the ramen restaurant, I didn't expect that they also sell breakfast. Steamed buns are round things like this."

    The deputy responded and at the same time raised the small wooden box containing the buns.

    "Is this wooden box a gift?" Lucas said after taking a look.

    The deputy shook his head: "Of course not. I paid a deposit for this wooden box, otherwise they wouldn't give you this kind of box."

    "It smells very good. Although you didn't open the box, I still smelled it."

    The aroma of the steamed buns continued to spread out, which made Lux couldn't help but twitch his index finger while taking a bath.

    "Captain, you take a shower first. I'll put the buns on the table outside. You can eat them after you wash them." The deputy exited the bathroom and came outside.

    "Okay, you eat first. I'll eat after I finish washing, and then you wash up." Lukes said loudly in the bathroom.  "Taking a hot bath in the morning makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed."

    Unfortunately, the deputy outside had no time to answer him.

    Now the deputy was stuffing the meat bun into his mouth, and the fat in the meat bun was slowly flowing out from the corners of his mouth.

    fragrant!

    It smells so good!

    It¡¯s so delicious that you¡¯ll bite your tongue!

    Why is the food here in Manhattan so delicious?

    The deputy, who was eating the delicious meat buns, was filled with doubts.

    The price of meat buns is not expensive, one copper plate is one, and Xiao Longyang buys ten buns.

    This kind of bun is about the size of a fist and is stuffed with bison meat.

    With the addition of the restaurant owner¡¯s filling with thirteen spices and the exclusive secret recipe, this kind of steamed buns immediately became famous in Manhattan.

    Originally, Zhang Tie wanted to name the bun Goubuli, but the noodle shop owner refused.

    Finally, at the noodle shop owner¡¯s insistence, this steamed bun that became popular in Manhattan was named ¡®Mandang Lao¡¯.

    Yes, the name is ¡®Mandonald¡¯ and not McDonald¡¯s.

    I don¡¯t know if McDonald¡¯s will be criticized as a copycat after it comes out in the future

    Lukes walked out after taking a shower.

    He couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he saw the deputy sitting on the seat, burping continuously and having a greasy mouth: ¡°You¡¯re a good-for-nothing guy, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    As he spoke, he walked to the table and sat down.

    The deputy replied: "Captain, you will know after you taste it yourself." After saying that, he stood up, walked to the fireplace, picked up the boiling kettle, and poured a glass for himself and Lukes.  Hot water.

    "I'm going to take a shower. Captain, you eat slowly."

    ?The deputy then walked into the bathroom and closed the bathroom door.

    Lukes picked up a bun and put it in his mouth to taste, and then he was like the deputy

    After Lukes finished his breakfast, he wiped his mouth and fell on the bed.  After a while, he fell into sleep.

    The deputy came out after taking a shower and saw that Lukes was already snoring hard, and he unceremoniously fell on the bed to rest.

    For the next three days, Lukes and his deputies wandered around the Manhattan port every day and chatted with nearby bosses to obtain useful information from them.

    At the same time, also pay attention to the sales and purchases of other merchants and Manhattan.

    Since they don¡¯t plan to attack Manhattan now, they must have a source of income in order to survive.

    Therefore, they set their sights on other businessmen again.

    On this day, Lux finally had an opportunity.

    A Portuguese merchant ship is about to leave the Port of Manhattan. This Portuguese merchant ship is a Galen ship with twenty-four gun positions. In terms of firepower, it is much worse than the Swordfish.

    And this Portuguese businessman bought more than a dozen sets of ceramics and a lot of grain.

    Lukes is not interested in food, he cares about ceramics.

    &nbsp"More than a dozen sets of ceramics can definitely be sold for three to four thousand gold coins in the Mediterranean area."

    This is a big deal.

    Therefore, Lukes and the others, who had been dormant in Manhattan for a long time, began to prepare.

    When the Portuguese businessman left his post, Lukes and the others also drove the Swordfish out of Manhattan Harbor, following the Portuguese.

    As long as he reaches a suitable place, the Portuguese will become a tragedy.

    "Sir, the man named Lukes has already sailed out of the port on the Swordfish." After Lukes and the others left Manhattan, information about them was also sent to Song Hu and Zhang Tie.

    ??????? Pirates?

    Hehe, that¡¯s really interesting.

    It seems that our trade in Manhattan has become more prosperous, and even pirates have been attracted.

    Through intelligence feedback, both Song Hu and Zhang Tie saw the analysis. This guy named Lukes and his group were pirates, and they definitely had bad intentions when they came to Manhattan this time.

    However, these people were quite peaceful in Manhattan, so Song Hu, who was in charge of the military, did not take action against them.

    Instead, let¡¯s see what these guys are going to do.

    Now they can see that they are setting foot in Manhattan to look for the big fat sheep.

    "Will this have an impact on trade? Should we inform other countries? After all, if pirates become rampant, we will suffer a lot."

    Song Hu turned his head and looked at Zhang Tiedao beside him.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
