?For those with power, the quality of life must be kicked away from those without power.

In essence, money is also a kind of power. Doug owns money, so he can talk to Thomson very happily.

What Thomson has is violence itself.

Thomson does not have his own manor. The land around New Haven is not suitable for farming, and even raising horses is not suitable. Therefore, even the top rich people here will not build a special manor here unless they love the land very much.

Thomson lives in a villa, a tangible villa. However, compared to those houses built with wooden boards, his villa is more like a fortress.

Because the thickness of his villa and the walls are more than one meter.

Thomson walked with Doug and introduced his home to him.

While introducing, Doug agreed, while noticing that in this home, there would be a servant if there was no more than five steps.

Doug calculated the cost a little and felt a little painful.

Even if these servants don’t pay a penny for their wages, the cost of just letting them survive is no longer a small amount.

How much wealth can so many people create if they engage in production?

Thomson saw Doug looking at the maid in a daze, laughed and said, "Do you like this maid? If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"I..." Doug was surprised that there was an extra woman for no reason, but he was afraid that he would reject the maid and a male maid would be stuffed in a while, so he had to say, "Thank you, Commander."

"What are you grateful for! Let's go eat steak!" Commander Thomson said loudly.

The maid whose ownership rights had reached Doug's hands looked at Doug who was passing by him, looking at his back, and wondering what he was thinking.

For someone like her, her life is destined to be like this. She is always arranged by others and cannot plan her own life.

She didn't feel any discomfort or pain in this regard. Because everyone around her was like this, she was like this.

Even, if Doug walks over and says you are free now, you can do what you want.

She will most likely walk back to Thomson's villa and continue to be a maid.

The trajectory of life has not changed so easily.

Doug believes that people have ideas, but he believes that environment determines ideas.

In what kind of environment is what kind of person, how can it be so easy for a person who is born to be arranged to fly freely?

Even if there are no chains in reality, there are chains of the soul.

Like most wealthy people in this era, the dining table at Thomson's house was also the kind of huge oval striped dining table.

The advantage of this dining table is that it can accommodate multiple people to have dinner together, and the disadvantage is that the utilization rate of this table will not be too high most of the time.

Of course, for people like Thomson, utilization is never something they will think about.

However, Doug noticed that the wood used on the table was not too expensive. Although it was not inferior wood like pine or less decent wood like oak, it was just cherry.

This may show that the Commander Thomson in front of him did not have as much wealth as he imagined.

Yes, a militia commander has been so extravagant and wasted, and even if he does business, he will not accumulate too much wealth.

Even, he may not have any deposits and all his income can only barely cover his expenditures. Maybe he will lose money if he is not careful and falls into an economic crisis.

Although Doug has never really come into contact with such a person, he has heard of it many times.

The best of this type of people are those former nobles in Europe.

The Industrial Revolution destroyed the original economic system. In the industrial society, the nobles who owned manors were crushed by the industrial aristocrats.

However, in order to maintain decency, they have to keep their expenses.

In this way, it didn't take long for them to decline, and in the end they were only "decent" nobles left.

Doug, who had a little judgment on Thomson's economic situation, sat down opposite Thomson.

"Two black pepper steaks," Commander Thomson ordered, and after the attendant left, he said to Doug, "Today's exercise was really wonderful! When I was asked by the De Nirona guy to watch the exercise, I was actually not happy at all.

Why not be happy?

Because I think such an exercise has no meaning to me and is a total waste of my time.

I don't think I can see anything new in the exercise. I just think there is a weapon company that wants to provide us with weapons.

But when I saw your team, I knew there might be a surprise today.

That military uniform is so beautiful!

Not bloated at all!

If I were twenty years younger, I think I would love to wear that outfit too!

It's hard to recruit soldiers now.

Even if those bastards starve to death outside, they are unwilling to join the army.

If they are asked why, they say that it is not good to be a soldier and they will be disliked.

Wow!

Is it that bad to be a soldier?

I started out as a grassroots soldier, and then after my father passed away, I took over as the militia commander.

I know how hard it is to be a soldier!

But this kind of suffering has gained!

So, when I saw that military uniform, I knew that the days of recruiting were coming soon!

Those gangsters, seeing such handsome clothes, aren't they rushing to join the army.

Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. The steak is here, let’s have the steak!”

As soon as Thomson finished speaking, two servants came to Doug and Thomson with a tray, and arranged the steak in front of the two of them.

Before Doug's knife was cut, Thomson yelled as soon as he cut the steak, "The steak is not cooked! Remade!"

Doug was curious about what it was like to be uncooked. He cut it down and found that there was a red and tender place the size of a small nail in the middle of the steak.

Thomson looked at Doug's movements and apologized sincerely, "Sorry, I didn't expect my chef to bring us the uncooked steak! Can uncooked steak be eaten? Of course not!"

"It's okay, everyone has times to make mistakes, don't blame him too much." Doug said with a smile, putting down the steak in front of him that was not far from being cooked.

When the steak just appeared, no one would take the initiative to eat a few mature steaks.

Even, it is a particularly unbearable thing to eat without fully cooked meat.

However, like Thomson's chef, it is really not easy to make a full cooked steak.

Even if you go through multiple processes to ensure that the meat of the steak is not difficult to chew, once the steak is overcooked, it will still grow old.

Therefore, when the chef makes the steak, he will not really wait on the grill or iron plate to wait for the steak to be cooked thoroughly.

Instead, it will leave a certain gap so that the steak will be truly fully cooked on the plate when it is served from the kitchen to the dining table.

However, the chef did not have a perspective, and he could not see whether the steak was cooked thoroughly.

Therefore, they can only rely on experience.

Cut meat with experience, hammer meat with experience, and cook with experience.

Keep all variables in a very accurate state, and it seems that only in this way can we make steaks that meet the standards.

But in fact, this so-called standard is also a luxury to some extent.

It’s not impossible to eat overcooked or undercooked steaks.

Overcooked beef is just a bit toothless.

Without fully cooked beef, even if there are parasites, it will not parasitic in the human body.

However, Doug was just a guest. Since Thomson said he would treat him to steak, he would eat whatever steak he would eat.

The two were chatting and laughing, and the second time the steak was served.

This time, Thomson took the lead in cutting the steak and saw that it was cooked, he said happily, "This time the steak is ready to eat!"

Doug cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. The beef that didn't look very good had a wonderful taste in his mouth.

The black pepper sauce is mixed with the fully cooked tender steak, and the taste is strong and there is no strange feeling of raw meat.

Whether it is Doug's past and present life, this is the best steak he has ever eaten.

Thomson saw Doug's expression and said, "It's delicious!"

"Yeah!" Doug nodded and replied.

As the commander of the militia, Thomson said less heroically, "I heard that you have an investment company. Can you invest in my steak?"

"Do you want to open a steak restaurant?" Doug realized a little suddenly.

"Yes! I want to open a steak restaurant." The hardest words were finished, and Thomson admitted it very happily.

He said with a puzzled look on his face, "Don't look at me as the commander of New Haven's militia, it looks very breeze. But in fact, I don't have much money.

Even the house can only live in such a house. Even the servants are not enough for a hundred people.

You said, is life like this the life that people live?
