Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 20 Scipio

“Yes it is.”

said a good-looking waitress in the same outfit behind the cabinet.

Nias glanced at the price, and one piece actually required 10 dinars, but he didn’t pay attention to the price at all, not to mention that there were beautiful women in front of him, so he must behave.

So sometimes beauty is productivity!

“Get me a piece.”

Nias said very grandiosely.

“Ok.”

The waiter picked up a piece of bread with a clip made of two pieces of wood, put it on a tray, and put it on the top of the cabinet.

Nias made a secret compliment, without grasping with his hands, he did a good job of details.

Nias took a bite, and a soft and sweet sensation bloomed in his mouth, which was much better than unsweetened bread.

“Buy me two copies of all your bread and pastries, and wrap them up.”

Nias thought of the respected guest in the manor and said lightly.

“Ok.”

The waiter said with a pleasant look on his face. He didn’t expect that he was so rich. He would have to pay two for everything. How could it cost more than one hundred dinars. These nobles are really not bad money.

Nias walked to a wooden bucket again, and some crystal clear white sugar covered the wooden bucket.

“Dear guest, welcome to pay.”

A good-looking and somewhat charming waitress picked up a pottery bowl with a layer of white sugar on it.

Nias dipped some and put it in his mouth, the taste was really sweet, as expected, it was the same as the rumors.

After returning to Rome, you can make some as gifts. A lot of these things are needed to hold a banquet. By then, the food made from these things will surely become a star at the banquet.

“Bring me two hundred pounds.”

Nias said.

The waitress couldn’t help being overjoyed, “No problem.”

Soon someone helped him wrap it up, and someone sent a roll of papyrus.

“Anyone who spends 500 dinars or more in our shop will receive a sugar cooking guide.”

Nias turned over and found that it was the cooking method of white sugar, so I didn’t have to figure out how to use white sugar by myself, as long as he handed him over to his own chef.

After Nias left with the goods, he could still hear the endless admiration of the waiters.

A purchase of more than 5000 dinars is a real big deal even in Capua.

returned to his manor, passing by a pool and hall, groaning softly came from inside.

Nias showed a smile on his face and called a slave. After inquiring about it, he found a place to sit down.

asked the guards to leave some newly bought pastries and bread, and then told them to withdraw.

About a few minutes later, the voice inside stopped, and an old man with white hair and beard walked out from inside triumphantly.

“Are you satisfied with that slave?”

Nias said with a smile.

“Yes, the Germanic female slave has a strong physique and a wild style, but the skin is not good, and the smell is too strong.”

The old man said with a smile.

“If you like it, I will give her to you.”

Nias said with a smile, but he kept slandering in his heart. The taste was so heavy that even Germanic barbarians liked it.

“No, if I accept it, I’m afraid the house will not be peaceful.”

“Hahaha.”

“Hahaha.”

The two laughed like a man understands.

“By the way, how are the banquet items you bought? Capua is a big city in Rome, and this banquet is very important to me.”

The old man said.

“Don’t worry, everything has been purchased, and we will ensure that this banquet will be foolproof.”

Nias said.

The old man’s name is Scipio. He is a descendant of Scipio, who made great achievements in the Punic War in Carthage. He has an extremely lofty prestige in Rome.

This time he came to Capua to fight for the position of consul next year, hoping to get the support of Capua’s nobles and powerful people.

“This time I heard a news that Kapuya had a very interesting knight. He made a thing called sugar. This kind of thing is very sweet and can be used to make bread and cakes. He made a lot of money from sugar. money…”

Nias told the news about Levy.

“Oh, two thousand Roman citizens were recruited as guards?”

Scipio’s eyes were bright, and what he liked most was this kind of tycoon who had a large number of Roman citizens as his clients.

made so much money in just six months, which shows that sugar is really profitable.

Thinking of this, a faint greed flashed in Scipio’s eyes.

“Some nobles in Capua are very interested in his sugar formula and hope to obtain his sugar formula.”

Nias said.

Hearing this, Scipio thought about it, saying that the boy’s condition was not so good.

But that is two thousand Roman citizens, plus their relatives, Levy can affect at least four thousand Roman citizens.

Would you like to help him?

just forget it!

As for what the contradiction between him and those nobles has to do with him, it is enough as long as he is willing to support himself.

“These are his white sugar, these are the bread and pastries made from white sugar. I just tasted some and it was really delicious.”

Nias said.

Scipia looked at the bread and pastries on the silver plate, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com picked up a piece and tasted it.

“The taste is really good. It is much better than ours. I have to prepare a little for this banquet anyway.”

After only a few bites, Scipio found that he was completely in love with these breads.

is really loose and soft, and sweet and delicious.

“I have bought 200 pounds of white sugar, which is definitely enough for the banquet, and they gave it back, just for my chef to learn.”

Nias took out the cookbook.

Scipio looked through it, “It’s a very good thing, I should buy some when I look back.”

“Do you say we should invite him to a dinner?”

“Why not?”

Li Wei still doesn’t know, because of the next consul battle, he has entered the vision of the top nobles in Rome.

***

Just when Nias was buying sugar in Capua, Li Wei was also busy with a very important thing in his manor.

That is steel stewing, solid carburizing of iron smelting.

A small melting pot has been built in the manor where Li Wei lived, which is about the same size as the Spanish melting pot.

Western iron smelting technology is backward, and the furnace is too big to melt iron ore.

China has experienced a long bronze age. In order to smelt huge bronzes such as Simuwu Dafangding, it has accumulated a very high level of smelting and can make the furnace temperature very high.

Therefore, as soon as it entered the Iron Age, it had a very high level of smelting.

Moreover, the temperature required for solid carburizing should not be too high. Modern braised steel requires no more than 900 degrees Celsius, which is slightly lower than 1,000 degrees for block iron making. Steel will not melt at this temperature.
