At night, Li Yan specially asked Li Dou to have dinner with them. Li Yan wanted to use this method to make Li Dou a role model for the slaves. He wanted the slaves to be revitalized and think of ways to change their current living conditions. Only then would the slaves be more creative.
Li Dou was very nervous. Although she was now a commoner, she also knew that commoners were not qualified to eat with nobles. However, Li Yan called him to the main castle's dining hall, which made her even more nervous.
However, when Zhao Xuan served dinner, Li Dou was stunned. Li Dou used to be a commoner and had never seen the food of nobles. However, she had heard that nobles had to eat many dishes, what to eat first, and what to eat next. The first dish was very particular. The tableware they used was made of gold and silver. Therefore, when Li Yan called her over to eat, she thought she would see the same situation.
However, when she saw the dinner that Zhao Xuan brought over, she really could not believe that it was Li Yan and the others 'dinner. It was ordinary bread, soup, vegetables, and meat, and only Li Yan had meat. The others did not have meat. Such a dinner was not much better than the food that slaves ate outside.
Li Yan also noticed Li Dou's expression. Ever since Li Dou entered the restaurant, she had been standing there nervously. She didn't even dare to sit down. Looking at Li Dou now, Li Yan couldn't help but smile.""Li Dou, come and sit. I've already given you a surname. According to the rules, you're considered a member of the Carlin family.”
As he spoke, Li Yan gave Zhao Xuan a look. Zhao Xuan immediately understood what Li Yan meant. She walked to Li Dou's side and smiled at him."Sister Li Dou, sit down. Young Master is very easygoing. We eat at the same table with Young Master every day. The rules of other nobles don't apply to Young Master.”
Li Dou knew Zhao Xuan's identity. He knew that Zhao Xuan and the others used to be servants of the Carlin family. If such people were in other places, their status would be very high. At the very least, they would be much higher than commoners like them.
However, after interacting with Zhao Xuan for the past few days, Li Dou knew that Zhao Xuan was a good person. Although she had been watching the slaves work, she did not beat or scold them. She only told them what to do. Moreover, Zhao Xuan was a girl, so Li Dou's nervous mood slowly eased.
Not long after, Li Na served dinner. Li Na looked at the nervous Li Dou and smiled kindly."Miss, don't be nervous. You'll be considered a member of the Carlin family from now on. Don't worry, the young master is a very nice person. How did you become a slave?"
Perhaps it was Li Na's kind look that made Li Dou let go of the last bit of nervousness. She finally whispered about how she became a slave.
Li Yan and the others did not say anything and listened quietly. Only when Li Dou finished did Li Yan sigh and say," It's a miracle that the world hasn't fallen into chaos with the existence of such nobles. Alright, Grandma Li Na, let's eat. Li Dou, you'll be a servant of the Carlin family from now on. You'll be paid a monthly salary as a commoner. Tomorrow, you'll follow Zhao Xuan and learn something from her.”
Although Li Yan was very excited about Li Dou's skill in weaving grass, he also knew that Li Dou's skill was not of much help to them. Li Yan gave Li Dou so many rewards today not because he liked Li Dou's skill, but rather because he liked Li Dou's courage. No matter why Li Dou stood up, her courage was worthy of Li Yan's reward. Moreover, with Li Dou as an example, he believed that those slaves would definitely work harder.
While they were eating, Li Dou kept peeking at Li Yan and the others. However, she realized that Li Yan and the others didn't seem to have any abnormal behavior. They ate very naturally and didn't look as bad as she had imagined.
After the meal, Li Yan and the others went to the living room. After Li Yan sat down, he said to Li Dou,"Li Dou, I'll ask Tiedan and Goudan to send you a bed and some bedding. Take good care of your younger brother today. Tomorrow morning, you'll follow Zhao Xuan and do whatever she asks you to do. If there's nothing else, weave more straw curtains and send them to those people in the outer castle. It's still a bit cold, so let them hang the straw curtains on the windows to block the cold wind.”
"Yes, Master," Li Dou replied immediately.”
Li Yan smiled and said," Li Dou, you are now a servant of the Carlin family. You are no longer a slave. You don't have to call me master. Just call me young master like Zhao Xuan and the others. Tie Dan, Gou Dan, go and bring the bedding to Li Dou and Ann's room. Li Dou, go back and take care of your brother."”
The three of them responded and turned to leave. Li Na and Zhao Xuan stood beside Li Yan. Li Yan sighed and said,"I hope that Li Dou's matter can stimulate those slaves. Our Carlin family is really poor now. If these slaves can make something, we might be able to find two talents.”
Li Na also nodded. She knew that the Carlin family was in trouble. Although they had bought a lot of supplies on this trip to the Yellow Plateau, most of them were food and clothing. They didn't buy anything that took up too much space. Otherwise, they would have given each slave a bed.
Although they didn't have to worry about food anymore, they were still worried about the Cloud Dream Swamp. The pressure was even greater than before.
In fact, Li Na was very confident in her and Zhao Xuan's skills. She believed that they could even deal with ordinary magical beasts. Don't forget that she was a grade-8 mage, and Zhao Xuan was also a grade-6 mage. Bruiser and Goudan were grade-6 warriors, so they were not bad.
The reason why Li Na did not dare to let Li Yan rest assured was that she was not confident either. What kind of place was the Cloud Dream Swamp? That was one of the five forbidden areas on the continent. Even a grade-9 mage would not be able to escape unscathed, let alone a grade-8 mage like her.
Although they did not need to enter the Cloud Dream Swamp, if the demonic beasts that attacked them were too strong, she could not guarantee that she would be able to defeat them. Therefore, she did not dare to tell Li Yan.
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly stood up and turned to Li Na."Grandma Li Na, I'm going to the space for a while. The demon radish is ripe. I have to go and collect it.”
Li Na shook her head." Young Master, I won't be going. I still have to clean up the kitchen. Let Zhao Xuan accompany you."”
Li Yan nodded and turned to Zhao Xuan.""Zhao Xuan, come with me to a place later. That place is the biggest secret of our Carlin family. Other than you, me, Grandma Li Na, Bruiser, and Goudan, no one else knows about it. Even Grandpa Zhao Lin doesn't know about it, so you must not mention it to anyone else.”
Seeing how serious Li Yan was, Zhao Xuan did not know what to do. She could not help but turn to look at Li Na. Li Na nodded and said,"Zhao Xuan, listen to Young Master."
Zhao Xuan immediately nodded." Yes, Young Master. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone."”
Li Yan nodded. With a thought, the two of them entered the space. Zhao Xuan's reaction when she first entered the space was similar to Li Na's. The carrots in the space had already matured, and the corn had also sprouted.
Li Yan explained the function of the space to Zhao Xuan again before putting away the radish. Just like last time, he put away the radish and its leaves separately.
Zhao Xuan looked at this magical space. She understood why her mother and Li Yan said that this was the biggest secret of the Carlin family. This was not only the biggest secret of the Carlin family, but also the hope of the revival of the Carlin family. No wonder the two of them valued it so much.
After Li Yan put away the radishes, he bought a bag of radish seeds from the shop. Now, he had nearly 6,000 catties of corn and three-season radishes in his Qzone. However, he only had 50 gold coins left. Although he still had a few bags of other seeds, it was not the time to plant them, so he could only leave them there.
After doing all this, Li Yan turned to Zhao Xuan and said,"Zhao Xuan, this is the mystical space that I obtained. You have to listen to me here. This is also the hope of our Carlin family.”
"Don't worry, Young Master. I know what's important. I won't tell anyone." Zhao Xuan said seriously.”
Li Yan nodded and said to Zhao Xuan,"Let's go out. There's no need to care about him here. It's getting late. You should go and rest early.”
With a thought, the two of them appeared in the living room again. Bruiser and Goudan had already returned. However, they weren't surprised by Li Yan and Zhao Xuan's sudden appearance. They had already been to the space and knew what was going on.
When Li Yan saw that everyone was here, he nodded and said,"Alright, everyone, go and rest. We still have things to do tomorrow. Zhao Xuan, take Li Dou and learn more tomorrow.”" Yes," Zhao Xuan replied. Then, Li Yan slowly walked towards his room.
Li Yan had to think carefully about what to do next. Now he only had 50 gold coins left. Should he exchange the radishes for gold coins or the corns for gold coins? If he couldn't, he could only plant the corns on the 10 mu of land with radishes.
Lying on the bed, he thought about the things in the space. Now that he only had 50 gold coins, he would definitely sell the things in the space for money. Li Yan was more inclined to sell the radish. Before Zhao Lin returned, the radish was not very useful. Moreover, he had already kept the radish leaves alone. Even if he sold the radish, he did not have to worry about not having anything to feed the blue-eyed rabbit.
However, there was still not much corn. Moreover, corn was more useful than carrots. Not only could it be used as food, but it could also be used as feed. Li Yan really did not plan to sell the corn.
