Chapter 20: The Slave Traders
But fortunately, there is a cheap apprentice, thinking of this, Yang Zilu looked at Yu Yu with ill will.
Yu Yu couldn't help but shudder, and asked with some cringe, "Master, ...... you Is there something you can do? ”
"There's a tavern in front, where do you buy a pot of wine and drink it slowly, where are you waiting for me, I'll go buy something!" Yang Zilu pointed to the tavern and said with a grin.
When Yu Yu heard this, he was reluctant in his heart, but he just wanted to protest, but he was glared at by Yang Zilu and forced to swallow the words that had reached his throat back into his stomach. Yang Zilu knows the truth of one hand with radish and one stick in the other. coughed, smiled and said comfortingly: "Yu Yu! You've been with me for a while! ”
"Hmm!" Yu Yu was dissatisfied with the answer, and he didn't know what his master meant by this.
"I think that sincerity is not bad, I will teach you a set of martial arts when I go back!" Yang Zilu coughed and pretended to be old-fashioned.
"Yes! Thank you, Master! When the royal guard heard this, his eyes lit up, and he threw any dissatisfaction into Java. As for not being able to go shopping, there will be opportunities and time in the future, but I don't know when the next time to learn martial arts will be.
But soon Yang Zilu had a headache again, where did this martial arts come from? Tai Chi that you see a lot? I'm afraid that the imperial view does not have such a deep realm, and I can see the power of Taijiquan. Besides, Yang Zilu is just in vain! Others, I also know that the world's martial arts are fast and unhurried, forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and it's a big deal to teach him a set of chaotic swordsmanship (a flurry of dances?). )。
With the money, Yang Zilu was also in a much better mood, scooped up a handful of Ge coins into the hemp bag, put them in his money bag, hummed pop songs, and slowly walked around the East Market. And Yu Yu is like a peasant under the landlord during the Republic of China, carrying a big bag of money that seems to crush his waist with a miserable face, and going to the tavern to spend a morning with a pot of wine.
"Huh! There's actually a jewelry shop here! Yang Zilu's eyes lit up, and he thought of Zheng Dan and Yiguang. took a step and was just about to go inside to buy some gifts for the two of them, but Yang Zilu couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied when she thought of Zheng Dan's pranks on him these days. But then he thought that Zheng Dan and Yiguang saved him, and Zheng Dan gave him a place to live. Yang Zilu patted his forehead, sighed and said, "Yang Zilu! Yang Zilu! You're a man, be generous! ”
After Yang Zilu thought about it, she walked into the jewelry store, fortunately, not only the female surname was shopping in the jewelry store, but also some of the male surnames. However, most of them are villagers who are dressed up like Yang Zilu and sell things from outside the city.
However, the owner of this shop and the shopkeeper are also quite good at doing business, and they are not treated differently because they are from the countryside. Seeing Yang Zilu coming, a shopkeeper walked over quickly and asked with a smile, "What do the guests want to buy?" ”
"I'd like to buy some necklaces, well, jade pendants!" Yang Zilu groaned for a long time and spoke.
"Oh, please come here, this is the goods from the Chu Kingdom! They are all made of the finest jade. The shopkeeper said enthusiastically, of course, this is also the ingredient of the wallet he saw Yang Zilu bulging.
The jade pendants introduced by the shopkeeper are full of exotic customs, the jade pendants are very simple, usually carved with a phoenix, Xuanwu, white tiger, green dragon and the like, but Yang Zilu looks at the phoenix like a pheasant, Xuanwu like a turtle, the white tiger like a dog, and the green dragon like a lizard. There are also deer, flowers, and the like. But it's all rough, but at least it doesn't make people feel like a phoenix has changed into a pheasant.
However, after walking around, Yang Zilu found that these jade pendants are already relatively good, at least the jade pendants of Yue Country are more coarse, and the animals can allow you to carve a four-like out. Yang Zilu spent sixty yuan to buy two jade pendants, which were carved with lotus flowers and white rabbits.
I went to the front to buy some rouge again, but Yang Zilu didn't expect that there was already rouge at this time. After asking the shopkeeper, I learned that rouge was actually the first to be invented in his homeland, Yan Kingdom, which he advocated. It was just called 'Yan Fat', of course, the rouge in his hand could not have been transported by Yan Guo, it was a commodity of Wu State. Yang Zilu found that Yue was really backward, and it seemed that many things were imported from other places, and the local goods were average.
"Huh? Where are you doing? Surrounded by so many people? Yang Zilu walked and suddenly found a place surrounded by many people. Yang Zilu couldn't help but walk over curiously, squeezed into the crowd, and found that it was a place to sell slaves.
More than a dozen slaves, tied to a stake, ragged and with their heads bowed. Or numbness, or anger. The slave trader worked hard to introduce his goods.
Yang Zilu saw it, and her original curiosity went all of a sudden, and her heart was full of sympathy. But he knew it was something he couldn't change. Slavery lasted until the end of the Republic of China, and it was weakened for many years. As fierce as the United States, a civil war is about to break out.
Yang Zilu had no intention of watching the excitement, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly saw a slave of about twenty-three or four looking at him, although he was similar to other slaves, his clothes were ragged, his face was vegetable, and his body emitted a foul smell similar to rotten eggs. But unlike ordinary slaves, his eyes are bright and unyielding.
Yang Zilu's heart moved, pointed to the slave, and asked the slave trader directly, "How much?" ”
When the slave trader saw Yang Zilu's offer, his eyes rolled, and he stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "Son, you are really eye-catching!" Ten thousand dollars! ”
Yang Zilu didn't say anything more, just turned around and left.
"Eight thousand! Only 8,000 dollars! When the slave trader saw Yang Zilu turn around and leave, he immediately panicked, and immediately reduced the price by two percent.
"A thousand dollars!" Yang Zilu froze, and at the same time gave the slave trader a finger. It made the slave traders cry and laugh a little.
"Five thousand!" The slave trader gritted his teeth, looked like cutting meat, and spread out the five fingers of his right hand.
"One thousand one hundred dollars!" Yang Zilu added a finger and said.
"Three thousand! It can't be less! The slave trader gritted his teeth.
"Twelve hundred dollars!" Yang Zilu raised the price again, but it made the slave traders grit their teeth even more.
"You might as well grab it! 1,200 dollars to buy a Xu Mi! "The slave trader gritted his teeth.
Yang Zilu touched his chin and said, "I'll pay 1,500 yuan a dollar, and I don't want another penny!" You see that his face is dark, I guess there is some kind of disease, I don't want him to die and I have to ask a doctor to come, and you see that he is as thin as firewood. I still have to buy some meat for him to replenish his body, and he has to raise it like an uncle during this time! Don't you need any money? To say the least, it costs two or three thousand dollars. Besides, it's not me who exposes your bottom line, you have been selling here for a long time, how many Xu Mi have you sold? Otherwise, you will pay for him to be a healer! ”
(Note: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, slaves were called Xu Mi, and doctors were not called doctors or Langzhong, but doctors were called doctors, and doctors were classified as craftsmen.) )
