In this small hotel called "Manhattan International Hotel", there are many minors like this child. The oldest is only twelve years old, and there are men and women.

These children came to Manhattan from the Virginia area to find a way out. Most of them in Virginia can only be beggars to maintain their lives.

Their lives are nothing compared to before, and they are completely incomparable to each other.

Therefore, the children working in hotels now cherish their current work and life. They work very hard, trying to save enough money before they become adults to buy a house in Manhattan.

At this time, there was no regulation to stop the use and employment of child labor in Manhattan.

Because the children of this era are obviously precocious than those of the 21st century.

This precocious puberty does not refer to one aspect, but to their mind, perceptions of life and experiences.

At that time, Zhao Hongyu and the others also had a dispute over whether to use child labor.

In the end, Zhao Hongyu compromised.

Because there are many children in Manhattan, they do not have a skill and cannot join the army. If they are not given a way out for a living, many people will definitely starve to death in winter.

Moreover, the Indian children near Manhattan City, even at young age, would go out to hunt and sell them in Manhattan. Even if they were a hare or something.

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

At the same time, the information fed back by the intelligence department under Wang Shan told Zhao Hongyu that these Virginia-come-Manhattan children were not loyal to their own country, but were very fond of the Song people who hired them to work.

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

This made Zhao Hongyu feel that this was right.

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

Lux encountered such a service for the first time, but it made him feel very warm and even made him feel that he was already an aristocratic master.

Yes, only nobles can have such caring servants to serve.

In fact, he didn't know that this kind of service is nothing in the 21st century, it's simply too normal.

The owner of this hotel just made a little bit of it, which convinced many Europeans who had stayed in this hotel and became its loyal customer.

And near the Port of Manhattan, there are many such hotels.

There are only a dozen or sixteen hotels like Dubai Seven Stars, Desert Palace, and White House. Almost every one has their own characteristics and can win over loyal repeat customers.

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

So, near the dock in Manhattan, you can often see some teenagers shouting at each other and soliciting guests for their hotels.

Slowly closing the door, Lux walked into the bathroom.

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

So comfortable!

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

"A manhattan is more kind than European merchants. He is a man of good food for three meals a day."

Lux closed his eyes and muttered to himself in a low voice.

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

At that time, two meals a day were dreams, and most of the time it was a meal a day, and I couldn’t eat oatmeal every time.

The water in the barrel gradually rose and over his neck, and Lux ​​moaned comfortably.

Maybe because of the comfort, Lux actually fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but Lux was woken up by his return deputy.

He lifted up the water to wash his face, making himself more awake.

“When is it now?”

Lux stood up in the barrel, picked up the soap on the edge of the barrel, and began to rub it on his body according to the boy's introduction.

Soon, Lux's body began to get soapy, and the greasy stains on his body began to be rubbed off.

This thing is quite useful.

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

"It's just an hour passed. Captain, I bought a few buns and came back. I saw many people buying this kind of food. I think it must be delicious."

The deputy stood aside and said as he looked at Lux who was taking a shower.

"What are the buns I bought there?"

"I didn't expect that in the ramen restaurant yesterday, they even sold breakfast, and buns are such a round thing."

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

"Is this wooden box given?" Lucas looked at it and said.

The deputy shook his head: "Of course not. I paid the deposit for this wooden box, otherwise I wouldn't have given them such a box."

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

The fragrance of the buns continued to emit, which made Lux, who was taking a bath, tremble his index finger.

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

"Okay, you eat first. I'll eat after I finish washing, and then you can wash it." Lux said loudly in the bathroom. "It's so comfortable and relaxing to take a shower with hot water in the morning."

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

Now the deputy was holding a meat bag and stuffing it into his mouth, and the fat meat in the meat bag slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

fragrant!

So fragrant!

All delicious foods are biting your tongue!

Why is the food here in Manhattan so delicious?

The deputy who ate the delicious meat buns was filled with such doubts.

The price of meat buns is not expensive, one is copper plate and one is Xiaolongyang to buy ten buns.

This bun is the size of a fist and the filling is the stuffing of bison meat.

With the noodle restaurant owner stirring the filling with Thirteen Spicy and the exclusive secret, this kind of bun immediately became a name in Manhattan.

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

Finally, with the insistence of the noodle shop owner, this kind of bun that was popular in Manhattan was named ‘Mandon’.

Yes, the name is ‘Mandon’s’ rather than McDonald’s.

I don’t know if McDonald’s will be called a copycat after it comes out in the future…

After taking a shower, Lux walked out.

He saw his deputy sitting in his seat, constantly burping, and at the same time, his mouth was greasy and couldn't help but smile: "You unpromising guy, what about it?"

While talking, he walked to the table and sat down.

The deputy replied, "Captain, you will know it by yourself." After that, he stood up, walked to the fireplace and picked down the boiling kettle, and poured himself and Lux ​​a cup of hot water.

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

Then, the deputy walked into the bathroom and closed the bathroom door.

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

After Lux finished breakfast, he wiped his mouth and fell on the bed. He fell asleep in a short while.

After taking a shower, the deputy came out and saw that Lux was already sleeping soundly. He fell on the bed and rested without hesitation.

For the next three days, Lux and his deputy hang out in the Manhattan Harbor every day and chat with nearby bosses to get useful information from them.

At the same time, pay attention to the trading situation of other merchants and Manhattan.

Since we don’t plan to attack Manhattan now, Lux and others must have a source of income for the sake of living.

So, they turned their attention back to other businessmen.

On this day, Lux finally waited for an opportunity.

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

Moreover, this Portuguese businessman bought more than a dozen sets of ceramics and a lot of food.

Lux was not interested in grain, he cared about ceramics.

More than a dozen sets of ceramics can definitely sell three or four thousand gold coins in the Mediterranean area.

This is a big deal.

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

When the Portuguese businessman left the post, Lux and his team drove the Swordfish and left the Portuguese Port and followed the Portuguese.

As long as you arrive at a suitable location, the Portuguese will become a tragedy.
