"I used that worthless mountain to exchange for a cooking technique and 10,000 strings.
Little Du He, you're still a little too inexperienced. How would you know that this old man has profited greatly this time?”
Carefully keeping the two contracts close to his body, Wang Mian's wrinkled old face smiled like a flower.
Du He, who was also folding the contract, was also smiling so widely that his teeth could not be seen.
He thought to himself, Using a worthless cooking technique and 10,000 strings of strings to buy an open-pit coal mine.
To think that such a good thing could actually happen to this young master. This time, my luck is really too good.
I don't know if that old fellow surnamed Wang suffered a loss or not, but this Young Master has earned a lot.”
The two of them looked at each other with ulterior motives and laughed at the same time.
The atmosphere at the scene naturally became extremely harmonious at this moment.
The two of them began to say some polite words of 'hello, everyone.'
After a while, Wang Mian, who had achieved his goal and was in a good mood, prepared to leave.
He looked at Du He, who was standing up, and quickly waved his hand."Young Master Du, please wait, please wait!”
Du He also waved goodbye.”
The current scene was like the most hospitable host bidding farewell to the most polite guest.
Where was the awkwardness from when Wang Mian first came in?
This situation surprised the butler, Old Wu, who had just walked in.
When Wang Mian finally left, Old Wu said,"Young Master, did it work?"
"It's done! He had finally taken Mt. Charcoal from the hands of that old man.”
Du He nodded with joy on her face.
Seeing his young master's expression, Old Wu was also a little happy.
However, he still asked a question that he was most concerned about.
"Young Master, how much did you spend to get it?”
"Not much. One serving of cooking skills plus 10,000 strings.”
Du He said and handed both contracts to Old Wu, indicating for him to keep them.
However, Old Wu was stunned." Young Master, this isn't much?" he asked. Wang Mian is really lucky."
"What do you know? For an open-pit coal mine, 10,000 strings of coins was already the price of cabbage.
No, I can even say that it's a free gift. The value of an open-pit coal mine, tsk…"
Du He shook her head, scaring Old Wu.
"Young Master, is that coal mine really that valuable?" he asked curiously. How much is it worth?"
"You can guess it yourself! Oh right, bring a few people and weapons. We're going to the coal mine!”
Du He kept him in suspense and ordered.
It wasn't that he didn't dare to say the exact value of an open-pit coal mine.
She was just afraid that she would scare Old Wu.
Even if the technology of this era limited the mining of a small portion of the coal mine, it was still an astronomical figure.
Worth a few million? Or tens of millions of strings?
Even Du He himself couldn't estimate the exact value.
The carriage to leave the city was already prepared, but looking at the few people in front of her, Du He frowned.
Before he could ask, Old Wu, who had a bitter expression on his face, took the initiative to explain,
"Young Master, there is really no manpower in the residence. Why don't you make do first?
When we return to the residence, I'll immediately recruit enough people for you.”
Hearing Old Wu's explanation, Du He nodded.
Now, all the members of the restaurant, including the chefs and waiters, were dispatched from the Du Mansion.
The oil press in the warehouse also required several people to rotate the oil every day.
All the people in the Du Residence were basically utilized to the greatest extent.
Even the housekeeper, Old Wu, was still the manager of the restaurant.
"Alright, aren't there so many refugees outside the city? I'll recruit twenty of them later!”
Du He waved her hand. After making a decision, she took the lead and stepped into the carriage.
When they arrived outside the city in a carriage, Du He found that the scene was the same as what she had seen that day.
Although the refugees outside the city were not full, they did not starve to death.
"Recruit, recruit! My young master needs 20 strong laborers to provide food and accommodation…"
With Du He's signal, as soon as they stepped out of the city gate, Old Wu got the waiter beside him to shout.
Du He, who was sitting in the carriage, added,"Tell them that their wages are a hundred wen a day.”
"Uh…not only does he provide food and lodging, he also gets a hundred copper coins a day, just twenty!”
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, the refugees who were still hesitating rushed over.
In just two breaths of time, they had blocked the carriage's path until it was impenetrable.
"Don't push, don't push. If you scare my young master, I won't want a single person!”
Seeing this scene, Old Wu was so scared that his face turned pale. He hurriedly stopped her.
However, his words had no effect at all.
The refugees around them shouted 'I'll go, I'll go' and so on. As they shouted, they squeezed in crazily.
"Young Master, the salary you pay is too high! I think they'll be very happy to take care of food and accommodation.”
Old Wu put on his trademark bitter face and complained to Du He.
Du He smiled.
He walked out of the carriage and looked at the refugees squeezing in.
"Everyone, quiet down! I only need twenty…"
"Young Master, please take me in. I still have a child to feed. The porridge given by the imperial court is really not enough!”
Even in such a noisy environment, a thunderous voice instantly covered the entire scene.
Du He looked up.
They only saw an extremely tall man squeezing his way from the back of the crowd to the front in just two or three steps.
Even Du He, who was standing on the carriage, had to raise her head to see the man's face.
"What a mighty man! What's your name?"
Looking at the man's figure, Du He instantly had the thought of keeping her fat and asked.
"Young Master, my name is Lin Shan. You can call me Big Mountain.”
Even though he suppressed his voice, the moment this burly man opened his mouth, it still gave Du He a fright.
However, Du He was not angry. Instead, she happily patted the burly man's arm and said,
"Good! Big Mountain, I'll take you in. Help me organize the crowd so that they don't squeeze."”
Once he heard that Du He had accepted him, the mighty man Lin Shan immediately played his role.
He opened his arms and pulled on both sides. The people around him were instantly pushed a meter away.
When the people who were pushed away tried to squeeze in, Lin Shan glared at them and roared,"
"Quiet down, let my young master choose his own people!”
The chaotic scene just now was now under Lin Shan's watch.
It immediately became much more orderly.
Du He naturally picked twenty refugees who were near the front. After all, those who could squeeze to the front were all strong people.
As for Lin Shan, Du He gave him special care.
He simply asked the other party to bring his wife and children over and put them in the carriage behind him.
However, what made Du He feel surprised was that the wife of the big guy Lin Shan, Zhang Shi, was actually a petite woman.
So when Lin Shan brought his wife to express his gratitude to Du He, Du He's expression was a little strange.
He thought to himself, When these two people stand together, the phrase 'little bird and dependent on someone' is really useful!”
