Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 103 Temptation

More than 30 dinars per pound, which is equivalent to his monthly salary.

As for the fine wine of the Li Wei family, what is it, is it better than the imported Greek wine?

Just as he was about to reprimand, a ten captain took out a bag and threw the bag on the table.

The opening of the pocket is a little bit open, revealing the crystal clear white sugar inside.

"I know you can't afford white sugar. I have some white sugar here. You can use it first. We will never eat your rubbish."

The ten husband said.

This, how is this possible?

A ten-man captain casually took out a bag of white sugar.

The centurion picked up the bag in amazement and weighed it. It must have weighed seven or eight pounds, which meant that the bag weighed more than two hundred dinars.

He took some sugar and put it in his mouth.

so sweet!

It really is as delicious as the legend says!

"Take these down and make them bread."

said the centurion.

"This... this... how to do it?"

The soldier holding the bag of sugar stammered.

The centurion's face froze, yes, how can this thing be made into bread.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"..."

Hadlenas's subordinates laughed unscrupulously, and even Hadlenus smiled.

This soldier is just too cute!

"What a bunch of poor people!"

"Can't even make bread with sugar!"

"It's still like this, but even if you sacrifice your life, wouldn't you sell yourself to be worth more?"

"..."

All kinds of extremely vicious ridicule came out of their mouths.

The soldier was flushed with anger, he clenched his hands, but finally held it back.

Seeing the face of the centurion getting darker and darker, Hadrianus said: "Enough is enough, don't talk about it."

The guards just shut up.

"I am very humble. They are all outspoken. I would like to express my humility to you on their behalf."

Hadrianus said.

Are you sure you are Daoqian, and not giving us a 10,000-point crit?

thought the centurion angrily.

"As a modest gesture, please accept this."

Hadrianus took out a jug and handed it to the soldier.

"what is this?"

The soldier took it over and asked.

"The fine wine of the Levi family is called grape brandy. This wine is very expensive, at least 50 dinars."

Hadrianus said.

"So expensive?"

The soldier said with a look of shock, he removed the water plug, and a strong smell of wine came to his nostrils.

How could it be so fragrant, the wine is not so fragrant anyway.

"thanks!"

The soldier said with great sincerity.

This jug of wine is worth five months of his salary. If he can earn so much money by being scolded a few times, he would rather be scolded every day and all the time.

"Marcus, you go teach them how to make sugared bread."

Hadrianus said.

"Yes, sir."

A soldier followed those soldiers and left here.

The centurion was about to leave when Hadrianus stopped him.

"Want to have a drink together?"

Hadrianus said while shaking the flagon he took out from nowhere.

The centurion was about to refuse, but smelling the enticing aroma of the wine, he agreed.

"no problem."

The centurion brought a wine glass and appetizers, sat down with Hadrianus and drank together.

"Good wine, really good wine.

"

After drinking a glass of brandy, the centurion couldn't help but praise.

Compared with those wines, this wine is more concentrated and more mellow.

"Of course it's good wine. This wine is the latest famous wine brewed by Li Wei. Even General Sura likes to drink it."

Hadrianus said, "What's your name?"

"Aesilius, centurion under the consul of Scipio."

"Hadrinas, captain of the cavalry of General Sulla's personal guard."

After the Battle of Capua, Hadrianus was finally promoted.

He added a lot of sugar to Aesilius' porridge, and said, "Stir the porridge to melt the sugar, it tastes better."

Esilius did not refuse, after stirring for a while, he took a sip and found that it was indeed extremely sweet.

"You all eat like this?"

Aesilius asked curiously.

"It's only recently. I used to make a lot of money in Greece. I used to take down a city that resisted us. The consul let us live in rich people's homes and asked them to pay us a month's salary every day as punishment for them. I lived I went to a wine merchant's house and lived there for several months."

Hadrianus said, "In addition, we captured a lot of cities and got some money. General Sulla also rewarded me with a lot of money. I probably have less than 10,000 dinars now."

Aesilius looked envious, he was all at the centurion level, why is he so rich, but he is so poor.

If they couldn't win the battle, not only would they not be able to make money, they might even lose their lives.

"After returning to Rome, General Li Wei allowed us to buy sugar and spirits at half price as our welfare. Unfortunately, there is a quota limit, so we can't buy too much. Otherwise, I will have 20,000 dinars when I sell them after the war. .”

Hadrianus continued.

Esilius was even more stimulated, 20,000 dinars, this money is too easy to earn.

"Do you think we made so much money with General Sulla? And what about you? You can't even afford some good food. If I hadn't, I would have quit."

Hadrianus said.

Aesilius knew that he was provoking, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Now that Sura has won many battles and is powerful, Scipio seems to have a bad future.

"Come on, have a drink."

Hadrianus said, "I have some other wine, I'll give you a bottle later."

Hadrianus knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he did not continue to persuade.

"What wine?"

"Whiskey, a wine made from grain."

"No, I only like wine made from grapes."

Esilius said.

Although he loves spirits, his pride does not allow him to accept expensive gifts from his enemies.

"If you don't want other wine, it's fine. You'd better accept this wine. This wine is very good for treating wounds. Applying this wine to the wound after injury can greatly reduce the chance of wound suppuration."

Hadrianus said.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Esilius said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, Nobanus once wanted to implement it in the whole army, but he didn't implement it because of the defeat."

Hadrianus said.

"Then I won't be polite."

Esilius said.

As a warrior, he certainly knows how precious this kind of thing is.

Dignity is not as important as this kind of thing, maybe it will save my life sometime.

Not long after, bread with sugar was delivered.

Eating the sweet bread, Esilius was a little crazy, there is such a delicious food in the world.
