Chapter 20 Slave Traders
Fortunately, there was a cheap apprentice. When Yang Zilu thought of this, she looked at Yu with malicious intentions.
Yu Le couldn't help but shivered and asked with some timidity: "Master, are you...what are you doing?"
"There is a small tavern in front of you. Where can you buy a pot of wine and drink it slowly. Where can I wait for me? I'll buy something!" Yang Zilu pointed to the small tavern and said with a smile.
When Yu heard this, he felt a hundred unwillingness in his heart. He was just about to protest, but Yang Zilu glared at him and forced the words to swallow them back into his stomach. Yang Zilu knew the truth about one hand of carrot and the other hand of stick. He coughed and comforted him with a smile: "Yu! You have been with me for some time!"
"Yeah!" Yu Lixin responded with dissatisfaction, not knowing what his master meant.
"I think that sincerity is good, so I will teach you a set of martial arts when I go back!" Yang Zilu coughed and said pretending to be a mature person.
"Yes! Thank you, Master!" Yu Le's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he threw all his dissatisfaction into Java. As for not being able to go shopping, there will be opportunities and time in the future, but he doesn't know when the next time he will be.
But soon Yang Zilu had a headache again. Where did this martial arts come from? I'm afraid that Tai Chi is not so deep after being controlled. It's obvious that Yang Zilu is just a figure! Others know that martial arts in the world are fast. Forget it, the ship will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. At worst, it's possible to teach him a set of swordsmanship (dances of random dance?).
With money, Yang Zilu was in a much better mood. She grabbed a handful of coins into the sack, put them in her sack, hummed a pop song, and took a walk in the east market. Yu Le was like a farmer under a landlord during the Republic of China, carrying a large bag of money that seemed to crush his waist drum with a sad face. He went to the tavern to spend a morning with a pot of wine.
"Hey! There is actually a jewelry shop here!" Yang Zilu's eyes lit up. He thought of Zheng Dan and Yi Guang. He took a step and was about to come inside to buy some gifts for them. However, Yang Zilu couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with his prank these days. But he also thought that Zheng Dan and Yi Guang saved him, and Zheng Dan also lived there for him. Yang Zilu patted his forehead and sighed and said, "Yang Zilu! Yang Zilu! You are a man, be generous!"
After Yang Zilu had thought about it, she walked into the jewelry store. Fortunately, it was not only women who were shopping in the jewelry store, but some men were also some. However, most of them were villagers who were dressed similarly to Yang Zilu and came to sell things from outside the city.
However, the owner and waiter of this shop are quite good at doing business and do not treat them differently because they are from the countryside. Seeing Yang Zilu coming, a waiter walked over quickly and asked with a smile: "What do customers want to buy?"
"I want to buy some necklaces, yes, jade pendants!" Yang Zilu pondered for a while and said.
"Oh, please come here. This is the goods from Chu State! They are all made of high-quality jade." The waiter said enthusiastically. Of course, this also includes the ingredients of Yang Zilu's bulging wallet.
The jade pendants introduced by the waiter are all exotic. The jade pendants are very simple, usually carved with a phoenix, black trunk, white tiger, green dragon, etc. However, Yang Zilu looks like a phoenix, black trunk, black trunk, white tiger, and lizard. There are also deer, flowers, etc. However, they are rough, but at least they won't make people feel that the phoenix has become a pheasant.
However, after walking around, Yang Zilu found that these jade pendants were better. At least the jade pendants in Yue Kingdom were even rougher, and animals could allow you to carve a four-dimensional appearance. Yang Zilu spent 60 yuan to buy two jade pendants, carving the small jade pendants of lotus and white rabbit respectively.
I went to the front to buy some rouge. Yang Zilu didn't expect that there was rouge at this time. After asking the waiter, I realized that rouge was actually the first invented by the country of Yan. It was just now called "Yanzhi". Of course, the rouge in his hand could not have been transported from Yan. It was a product of Wu. Yang Zilu found that Yue was really backward. It seemed that many things were imported from other places, and local goods were just like that.
"Huh? Where are you doing? So many people are surrounding you?" Yang Zilu walked and suddenly found a place surrounded by many people. Yang Zilu couldn't help but walk over, squeezed into the crowd, and found that it was a place to sell slaves.
More than a dozen slaves were tied to wooden stakes, dressed in rags, with their heads down, either numb or angry. The slave trader was working hard to introduce his goods.
After seeing it, Yang Zilu saw that her original curiosity suddenly went away, and her heart was full of sympathy. But he knew that this was something he could not change. Slavery lasted until the Republic of China, and it had been weakened for many years. As fierce as the United States, a civil war broke out.
Yang Zilu was unintentionally watching the fun. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a slave of about twenty-three or four looking at him. Although he was similar to other slaves, he was dressed in rags, his face was covered with a foul smell like rotten eggs. But unlike ordinary slaves, his eyes were bright and he exuded an unyielding spirit.
Yang Zilu's heart moved, pointed at the slave, and asked the slave dealer directly: "How much does it cost?"
Seeing Yang Zilu offer, the slave trader turned his eyes and stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "Young master, you are really winkful! Ten thousand yuan!"
Yang Zilu didn't say a word, and turned around and left.
"Eight thousand! Just eight thousand coins!" The slave trader was immediately panicked when he saw Yang Zilu turn around and leave. He immediately reduced the price by 20%.
"One thousand coins!" Yang Zilu stopped and at the same time gave the slave trader a finger, which made the slave trader feel a little amused and cry.
"Five thousand!" The slave trader gritted his teeth, looked like he was cutting his flesh, spreading out his five fingers with his right hand.
"One thousand and one hundred coins!" Yang Zilu added a finger and said.
"Three thousand coins! No more money!" said the slave trader gritted his teeth.
"One thousand and two hundred coins!" Yang Zilu raised the price again, but it made the slave trader even more gritted his teeth.
"You might as well go and grab it! Buy Xu Mi for 1,200 yuan!" The slave trader gritted his teeth.
Yang Zilu touched her chin and said, "I only cost 1,500 yuan per Xu Mi. If you add another one, I don't want it! Xu Mi, you see that his face turns black. I guess he has any illness. I don't want him to die, and he has to invite a doctor. In addition, you see that he is as thin as firewood. I have to buy some meat to nourish his body. During this period, he has to raise it like an old man! Do these cost at least? It costs 2,300 or 3,000 yuan. Besides, it's not that I revealed your foundation. How many Xu Mi have you sold here for a long time? Otherwise, you can pay for him to hire a doctor!"
(Note: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, slaves were called Xu Mi. Doctors were not called doctors or doctors, but were called doctors, and doctors were classified as craftsmen.)
