Li Xiang was really anxious, and immediately went to implement his idea, and returned to the slave market with Oman and Wang Baguio.

Looking at the crowd in the market, Orman said to Li Xiang, "There are at least a thousand slaves here!" It's definitely not an easy task to select first-class players from so many slaves, right? ”

Li Xiang scratched his scalp and sighed: "It seems that it is indeed a little difficult. ”

Wang Baguio on the side said, "Do you want to choose a good bow from the slaves here?" ”

"'Juke'?" Li Xiang thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "Oh! Not bad! It's just that Rome is not called a bow here, it's called a player. ”

"'Player'?"

Li Xiang nodded and said: "There are many people here, which is a good thing, which can increase the chance of selection, but at the same time, it also increases the difficulty of selection, and I want to carefully select twenty-three players who can play high-level players from thousands of people, and it is definitely not too much to describe it as 'looking for a needle in a haystack'!" ”

Wang Baguio smiled and said, "It's a little harder, but it's not as exaggerated as you say!" ”

Li Xiang clapped his palms and said, "That's right! How could I ignore you, your mother has been in the big game for many years, and she must have a unique way to select players, right? ”

"There is definitely no 'one-size-fits-all approach'."

"No?" Li Xiang's heart suddenly became half cold.

Wang Baguio smiled and said, "But there is a popular method. ”

Li Xiang immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said, "'Popular method'? Fast! Tell me about it. ”

Wang Baguio said: "In our big Han, choose a bower, oh! That is, the players, the most popular method is..."

Li Xiang hurriedly said, "... What is it? Hurry up and talk about it!"

"It's with your eyes..."

Li Xiang thought to himself: If you don't need to see with your eyes, do you still rely on your nose to smell and your ears to listen? So, the interface said, "... What to see? ”

"Look at the legs."

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment and said, "'Look at the legs? I thought: What can I see just by looking at my legs? According to this little woman, could it be that international stars like Ronaldo and Messi have been able to dominate the football world for more than ten years because of their 'natural legs'?

Wang Biyao said: "Based on the valuable experience passed down from our ancestors, the leg shape alone is enough to select a first-class player. ”

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Is it true?" How does it feel like you're kidding me! ”

Wang Baguio said solemnly: "I am very serious. ”

Li Xiang put away his smile and said, "I'm sorry! Maybe I'm so lonely! ”

Wang Baguio smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that the gods would be so modest!" ”

Li Xiang smiled secretly and said, "To tell you the truth, I really don't have any experience in selecting players, and it seems that I can only count on you to help me." His right hand patted Wang Baguio on the shoulder.

Wang Biyao rubbed her shoulders and said, "Ouch! Please don't put too much pressure on me, okay? ”

The two smiled at each other.

Li wanted to translate Wang Baguio's so-called "leg viewing method" into Latin to Auman.

After hearing this, Orman also felt very incredible, and wanted to see it with his own eyes, so he followed the two of them to search and find between the thousands of legs of thickness and thickness, length and shortness, black, black and white and white.

***

A pair of thick legs caught the eyes of the three of them at the same time.

Li Xiang said to Wang Biyao: "These legs should be good, right?" ”

Wang Baguio shook her head.

"Why? These legs are thick and strong enough! ”

"This kind of leg is commonly known as 'elephant legs', although it looks thick and strong, but in fact it is strong on the outside and weak in the middle, I don't believe you look up."

Li Xiang looked up and saw that this slave was covered in fat, sweating profusely, and even panting was thicker than ordinary people, which confirmed Wang Biyao's point of view.

Orman pointed to the other pair of legs and said, "What about this?" It's fine enough! ”

Wang Biyao looked at it, and then said: "This is a 'hemp pole leg', I know at a glance that it must not work, if he is really allowed to play, it is estimated that he will run for less than half an hour, and even his leg will be broken." ”

"It's not that exaggerated!" Auman looked up and realized that this slave was absolutely "super skinny", a real 'skinny and bone', and it was estimated that three or four winds could make it difficult for him to move, five or six winds could make it difficult to move an inch, and seven or eight winds would definitely make him "wind and people".

Li Xiang teased: "Think about it! At that time, the players were not sent off for a red card for a foul, but were carried off the field because of a broken leg. ”

All three laughed.

***

The slave traders muttered to themselves when they saw the strange behavior of the three men, for they had never seen or heard of a buyer who cared so much about the slaves' legs since the slave market was built! Could it be that in addition to looking at teeth, there was a method of selecting slaves from the Gentiles? Or do these three have some personal fetish at all? Huh! Only God knows!

If a reader asks, did the ancient Romans really select slaves by looking at their teeth? The answer is yes, because, "Good teeth, good appetite, good health!" Eat it! ”

***

A pair of legs that looked pretty good appeared in front of the eyes of the three of them.

Li Xiang said to Wang Biyao: "These legs look okay, not too thick and not too thin......

Auman said, "... That is, it is not an 'elephant leg', nor is it a 'hemp leg of a hemp pole'. ”

Wang Baguio said: "It's a pity that it's 'radish legs'." ”

"'Carrot legs'?" Li Xiang and Auman said in unison.

Wang Baguio explained: "Not bad! 'Carrot legs' are also divided into 'carrot legs' and 'white radish legs', and the legs in front of you belong to 'white radish legs'. ”

Li Xiang's eyes immediately stood N radishes of various kinds, including white radish, green radish, purple radish, and carrot, and of course, some new varieties of radish, such as water radish and cherry radish.

Li Xiang saw that his eyes were dizzy, and he rubbed his eyes, and then he came back to his senses from the pile of "turnips", and thought: Is this a slave market or a radish market?

Wang Biyao continued: "'Radish legs' have a certain explosiveness, but the endurance is often insufficient, and players who are forced to withdraw from the game because they don't know their physical strength are generally 'radish legs'. ”

"Wow! How can it be so hard? The legs are too thick, they are too thin, and they are not thick! Li Xiang sighed as he spoke.

"To pick good players, patience is a must." Wang Baguio said.

"Good! Just listen to you, I'll be patient. Li Xiang regained his spirits.

Li Xiang and Auman didn't know how many legs they had chosen, but they didn't pick the one that satisfied Wang Baguio.

Wang Biyao also saw that Li Xiang was almost about to lose confidence, so she comforted: "There are still many people!" There is still a chance. ”

"I also know that there is still a chance, but I am dizzy now, if I continue to watch, when I close my eyes at night, all I dream of is legs."

Wang Baguio smiled wisely.

Li Xiang continued: "In my opinion, such a difficult task can only be entrusted to you. ”

Wang Baguio nodded and said, "Okay! ”

***

As a result, Li Xiang and Auman were like two students who were humbly taught, closely following "Teacher Wang" and listening carefully to his teachings.

"The emperor lives up to his wishes", and finally a few days before the sunset, Wang Baguio and the two "apprentices" carefully selected nearly 40 people among thousands of slaves with the most popular "leg viewing method" in the Qin and Han dynasties, and then after the "master and apprentice" three people and the discussion, in order to meet the standard number of participants in the "Rome Cup", 23 people were finally selected.

But when it came time to pay the slave traders, Li Xiang made a difficulty, because he simply did not have the economic strength to buy twenty-three slaves in one moment.

However, there has never been a practice of renting out slaves in the slave market, so the slave merchants felt that it was really difficult to operate at first, so they politely declined, but with Li Xiang's rich experience in business negotiations for many years, he finally persuaded the slave merchants to rent the twenty-three people at a rent of one dinaris per person per day.

It was for this reason that the slave rental industry, a spin-off of the slave market, was born.
