Chapter 606 29
Red listened to Ma Feng's advice quite obediently.
This was completely beyond Red's expectations.
This kind of thing is like putting a murderous tiger in shackles and letting it voluntarily go to the circus to do somersaults.
Living on the streets of Constantinople, Ma Feng deeply understood Red's strength. In the battlefield of gangsters, even high-level God's Chosen can easily capsize in the gutter.
But Red has a fighting instinct that ordinary people can't reach, which is the greatest wealth given to him by God.
But now he has the resources to pick up the pitchfork and scissors and become a worthless flower repairer again.
Ma Feng is not completely unable to understand what he did.
Perhaps it was the two huge disasters caused to the family within three years, and the serious impact on the daily life of his adoptive father and biological mother that finally made him feel guilty.
Perhaps hiding in the basement for three months has worn out all his patience.
Mortals must grow and compromise after all.
Once you enter the big dye vat of society, "origin" will determine many things. The sharpness of young people will be baptized by various realities. In the constant compromise and concession, they will eventually become smooth and then mediocre.
The final result is naturally that most people will inevitably become ordinary.

The next morning, Mo Kui, Ge Lin and Red, as well as another chef, a chef apprentice, and a stable master appeared in the "Nicholson Manor".
All the servants were selected by Ma Feng from his "stowaways" and "homeless people".
Considering that Concubine Xue is from Donglu, Ma Feng chose a mixed-race woman from Qiuci and Datang in the selection of chefs.
The woman's name is Gulina. Like all stowaways, she never mentions her previous history. She can speak some rather poor Chinese and Latin, and is much better than others in communication.
It is not difficult to see that this is a person who has experienced the hardships of life.
Ma Feng has been immersed in human trafficking for most of his life and has his own way of identifying people.
The biggest difference between this maid and ordinary women is that she has a layer of calluses on her palms, and the skin on her wrists has a little more purple bruises than ordinary people.
You can't get such old injuries by chopping meat on the chopping board all year round.
This must be caused by frequent sword fights with others, and the wrists are frequently shaken and hit.
It is not uncommon for illegal immigrants to have a bit of a dark history.
During the period of living in Ma Feng's mansion, this maid in her forties took care of the three meals a day for more than 30 people. Whether it was the grilled meat flatbreads commonly eaten by Arabs or the noodle stews that Orientals like, they were all cooked quite well.
For the human trafficking business, this one advantage is enough.
The chef apprentice found a girl from Chechi who was nimble.
Chechi and Qiuci are adjacent to each other, and both are small countries on the Silk Road. This girl from Chechi looks young, but she has been in the Byzantine Empire for 8 years.
The girl's name is Alan. Although she is an average-looking person, she is good at being lively and doing things quickly.
Her big, lively eyes are always rotating flexibly when she looks at others. You don't need to look too much to find that this is a girl with a cheerful personality.
Although she seems ordinary, Alan seems to be more mysterious than Gulina.
So much so that bringing her around even makes Ma Feng vaguely worried.
Human traffickers do human trafficking.
People are the most important resource in their hands.
It's like a butcher will not refuse a fat pig that hits the door, and a chef must collect spices that his neighbors don't want.
Ma Feng can't refuse anyone who comes to his door.
Because seemingly useless people can turn into shiny gold and silver in his hands.
When he saw Alan for the first time, Ma Feng immediately realized that this was a very smart person with a lot of knowledge in his mind.
Such a person should not fall into Ma Feng's hands anyway.
Based on this consideration, Ma Feng has never relaxed his observation of this 17-year-old girl.
Alan has been with Ma Feng for only three days, and she immediately mixed with another dangerous person in the gang.
His name is "Alchemist" Heijings.
This guy is the abandoned disciple of Gutlauer, the alchemist master of the academy. He was expelled from the academy for studying the forbidden corpse explosion technique, and this incident caused a sensation in the city.
The sheriff searched for him for a month without sleep. No one dared to take in this black-skinned warlock, and only Ma Feng, who was desperate to make money, saw the important value of this man.
He did not hesitate to find the members of the Chuanhuo Gang to change his appearance for him so that he could stay in the gang as a secret weapon.
And Hejins did provide a lot of help to Ma Feng with his rich knowledge of human anatomy and alchemy.
People only hang out with people who have similar personalities to themselves. Alan and Hejins had heated discussions every day, and sometimes they even gestured on papyrus and drew some human structure sketches that Ma Feng could not understand at all.
This made him full of worries.
Now he finally had an opportunity to separate the two, and he sold Alan to Tang Qianye without hesitation.
After all, the work of a chef apprentice can be done with hands and feet.
The last stable master came from the Avar Khanate.
From his appearance, he is very different from both Eastern and Western people. This man has a red forehead and is born with big shoulders and waist. Like all Avar Khan shepherds, he only left a tuft of hair on his head and braided it into a shiny whip.
No one knows why he left his hometown and came to the distant Byzantine Empire with a different language.
However, the horse training skills he showed were extremely amazing. When Ma Feng was promoting this Turkic man named "Chenggeltu", he even secretly mentioned that he was very likely to be a "horse whisperer".
For this common method used by merchants, Tang Qianye just smiled and did not respond more.
In the Middle Ages, human life was not worth much.
The three members of Red's family sold for 2 gold coins, the two chefs were worth 12 silver coins (1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 100 copper coins), and the last Avar Khan shepherd was the most expensive because he had the most special skills.
But this person was worth 3 silver coins, which was more expensive than all the others.
6 people together have 4 gold and 2 silver.
Tang Qianye paid the money neatly.
When he found that the chief of Zheming East Road seemed to be richer than he thought, Ma Feng suggested implicitly whether to add a few magicians or warriors to strengthen the security of the manor.
However, Tang Qianye rejected it neatly on the grounds that "security is not a problem".
Such a rich man should not be offended, so Ma Feng had to give up.
