Chapter 113: Big Fish and Small Fish
There is a grass platform in the corner of the market, where the whips in the hands of several shirtless men crackle, but there are few onlookers.
It turned out to be a few traffickers, known as "cuckoos" in the lingua franca of the Borderlands. The walker shouted and paced back and forth, and five or six wooden stakes were tied to unclothed slaves, mostly young women, but also some underage children.
"Take a look at the newly arrived geese! The price is cheap, Tong Su is not bullied, as long as the eldest brother has the money, she will do any job! "The lines are still simple and rude, similar to the graduate tutors of some universities, straight to the point, as long as you are willing to take off, the paper will protect you!
"Brother, how do you sell it?" Zhou Yu stood under the stage and hugged his arms to inquire, at this time the onlookers were sparse, and finally a patron didn't dare to be careless, so he bent over with a smile.
"Which one do you like? Uncle! How about this one? Look at this waist, look at this face, let me tell you, uncle, you are picking up treasures. You can't meet a few of these high-quality goods in a year! The leader-like walker squatted on the platform and pointed to the "goods" tied to the central pillar of the platform with a whip.
Zhou Yu pretended not to be satisfied, shook his head and sighed, and laid out that this was not the dish I wanted. Bargain, this is a routine. If you can't come up and say you're satisfied, then the only thing to do is to stretch out your neck and make a big cut.
"Too skinny, too skinny! Anything else? ”
"Too skinny? What about this? This plump, does the uncle like this? Walking Juan pointed to a tall and stout woman, the woman's mouth was stuffed with a thick linen, her eyes were angry and wide as if she was about to breathe fire, Zhou Yu immediately understood why she had special treatment - tied up stronger than others, it is estimated that she is a ruthless character, not beaten and dishonest.
"This won't work, this fierce and vicious, buy it back and beat me to death! No, no, no! ”
"Uncle is really hard to serve, so how about this?" The leader pointed to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in the corner, thin, withered, unkempt, and underage at first glance. A pair of eyes stared at these potential "buyers" in the audience in horror, obviously she had already heard her companions say that it might be better to be sold than to be sold, and that feeling of life being worse than death would not be understood without experiencing it.
"Damn, this... Wouldn't it be too small? ”
"It doesn't matter if you're small, sir. Hold it up and it's big! ”
I'll go, you're really an expert, Zhou Yu scolded secretly.
"Alright, it's not too early, so I'm not going to play dumb riddles with you. How do you sell these goods? Zhou Yu waved his hand, not going to make a cough with him.
"Which one are you talking about, sir?" Zhou Yu's words made the leader of the Juan Walk confused. Yes, when you enter the mobile phone store, you ask how much it is, I know which model you always want?
"Uh, I mean... Pack! Zhou Yu rubbed his chin and said.
"Packing, packing? What does packing mean? The leader was puzzled.
"Packing is wrapping rounds, rubbing piles, oops, it's all wanted!"
"All wanted? Oh my God! The leader of the Walking Crane exclaimed, stood up, and looked at his three accomplices with joy. It seems that these brothers have been busy for a day and have no business, and they are going to call it a day and come home to pull noodles, but they didn't expect a God of Wealth to come to the door, and a sister fell from the sky!
"Master, you are my grandfather!" The leader turned around and squatted down again, he almost wanted to lie down and talk to Zhou Yu. After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply jumped off the platform and stood opposite Zhou Yu and stared at him for a long time.
"Do you really want it all?"
"Do you sell or not? Mother-in-law and mother are like a girl? ”
"Ahh Wo Ri is an immortal board, and today he can be regarded as a pot! ”
"Count, how much?"
"I have a total of five fish here, three big and two small!" Zhou Yu guessed that the "fish" in his mouth was the pronoun of these slaves.
"Thirty for each big fish, twenty for each small fish. I'll do the math... The leader saw that he had not graduated from elementary school, and the whip was thrown on the ground, frowning, breaking his fingers, and counting with all his might, almost taking off his shoes.
"One hundred and thirteen in total! I've got you covered! Zhou Yu gave him a blank look.
"Oh, yes, yes, a hundred and thirteen! Uncle, you are a cheerful person, the small one will wipe you with a change, and you will be charged one hundred and two? ”
"Why do you call this erasure? One hundred and three becomes one hundred and two? Zhou Yu was obviously not very satisfied.
"My lord, this stall is about to close, you see I don't want a high price. When business is good, the big fish will cost fifty-one, and the small fish will have to sell thirty. You see, we all work part-time, and we can't explain to the boss when we go back. Zhou Yu believes that there are few people in this industry who can do it, and it must be an industrial chain, some people tie up, some people watch, some people manage, and some people sell.
"Cheaper!" Zhou Yu pretended to be a little impatient, and looked up to find the moon, which meant that Lao Tzu still had to go home for dinner!
"One price, one hundred and one!"
"No, ninety!"
"Ninety is too low, one hundred!"
"Eighty!"
"Ninety!"
"Deal!"
After Zhou Yu shouted out the deal, the leader of the Walking Juan scratched his scalp, what is it? Who shouted ninety? Who shouted the deal? Playing these numbers games, he is a good opponent of the Grand Duke.
The Governor turned around and motioned for Masha to take out the money, and Masha took out a cowhide bag with a hundred grains of gold sand, counted out ten of it and took it away, and the rest was in the leader's hand.
"Uh, uh, uncle, can't you add more? Don't take the ten of them? The ringleader's eyes stared directly at the golden sand in Masha's hand, and he smiled flatteringly at your uncle.
Zhou Yu didn't care about him, coughed dryly, turned his head and nodded his head and motioned for Marsha to put the ten gold sand back in the bag.
"There is no shortage of money, a hundred is a hundred! But I have to ask you a question! Zhou Yu pulled the sleeve of the leader, and the kid leaned his ear over in play, he understood that the God of Wealth wanted to bite his ear.
"Where did you come from?"
The leader was taken aback when he heard this, and covered his mouth with his hand and looked at Zhou Yu in surprise. No, your wealthy grandfather Bi is familiar with it at a glance and actually asks this layman's question? But after thinking about it, his consternation was replaced by calm, maybe people didn't care about the way they came but wanted to find out if the goods were clean or not. In this world, rich people have a habit of cleanliness, and no one wants to buy a chicken plague and foot-and-mouth disease maid to go back to warm the bed.
"Well, don't worry, this lord. Our brand is a brand, the quality of the supply has always been guaranteed, after-sales three guarantees, ten days of return, door-to-door pick-up! Generally speaking, the goods of our go-juan are divided into three roads, namely the knife road, the rice road and the rich road. As the name suggests, this knife path is a prisoner snatched from a war; Milu was bought by poor families who couldn't eat, and exchanged their children for money to buy rice and butter; Fulu was a maid in the royal city or the noble priest's house, who had committed a mistake and was thrown out of the streets and taken in by us well-wishers. ”
"Your batch of goods, the three big fish are all rich roads, very clean, you go back to eat slowly, eat with confidence, eat sick small bags return and replace. Those two small fish are rice roads, although the color is a little worse, but it is no problem to dry some groceries! ”
Oh, it turned out to be such a knife road, rice road, and rich road, Zhou Yu pinched his chin and nodded, but didn't say anything. Turning to Bolarda, Marsha, and Bamble, he nodded to them and motioned for them to receive them.
"Slow down, master! The lord often comes! The leader's mouth couldn't close, and the money bag in his hand was swept up, and it flew up a foot high. Behind him, his accomplices pounced, and several people scuffled together.
"My lord, what are you buying these fish for?" On the way back to the inn, Borada was a little puzzled. He was a master of his craft in Kuzsia, and although he was in his twenties, he was a perennial wanderer, and he was not surprised by the business of these cuckoos and fish.
"You don't think I'm really going to eat fish, do you?" Zhou Yu glanced back at the five "fish" that were held by Bamble and Marsha, and the hemp rope was tied into strings.
"Don't eat? What do you buy without eating? ”
"There was a man named Oskar Schindler in the world I lived in, and he liked to pay for human life, and his people thought he was crazy. But in fact, only the wheel of history can adjudicate his righteousness. Bolada you remember that a moment of life is also life, and to save one person is to save the whole world. Zhou Yu knew that he was weak and could not save all the fish, but since it was fate, he would cross a few people if he could, and he would die without regrets.
Originally, Zhou Yu's worldview in the Borderlands was immature, and the origin of the revolution he was bent on making trouble was from overthrowing the oppression of all evils, but in order to achieve this goal, he admitted that he was a little too extreme, too high, and went high, so there were many innocent lives who died because of his so-called righteousness, such as Samanda, Dakuan, Nika and those brothers who died in battle.
It wasn't until he lost Nika that he really realized a problem, every life is so fresh and beautiful, and everyone has the right and freedom to live. On the way to righteousness, it would be good if you could pay attention to every little flower around you that is about to wither, even if it is only a few drops of water. Countless of these little flowers survived, accumulating a lot of sand into a tower, perhaps realizing his original intention, and the victory of the revolution is no longer so important.
Because, thinking about winning and losing, winning or losing, is a kind of utilitarianism in itself.
When I arrived at the inn, it was difficult for Marsha.
"Governor, let's just have two rooms, how can we live with five more people now?"
"Won't it be over if you open a few more?"
"I just asked the shopkeeper, and it's already full. Not to mention the guest rooms, even the firewood room is full. Masha was crying, he didn't want to make a bunk.
"My lord, why don't you do it. I'll squeeze with Bamble and Masha, and you'll be proud of the equinox for a while, with these fish! ”
"What? Damn, you ungrateful thing! Zhou Yu slapped Bolada on the back of the head. But there is no better way to do this, forget who makes Lao Tzu have to fill his head, I'll lay the floor.
Back in the room, Zhou Yu asked the shopkeeper to send some dumplings and wine and food, although it was cold rice and cold dishes, but the big fish and small fish gobbled up, ten fingers went into battle, and they ate one by one without raising their heads and not opening their eyes. The Metropolitan Governor sighed, Walking Juan, Walking Juan, can you have a little work ethic in business, can't you sell the fish after you have fed it?
"Old, sir! We're done! The tall and thin woman wiped her mouth tremblingly and said.
"Well, I'll finish it when I'm done. What's the matter, are you still asking me to clean up the table? ”
"No, that's not what you mean, slave, slave is trying to ask who you want to sleep tonight?" The tall and thin woman blinked at him suspiciously, obviously she had been trained before, and she was still clear about the needs of her buyer.
"Waiter, waiter? Roll the calves and play with the eggs! Zhou Yu scolded, picked up the futon from the bed, spread it on the ground, covered his head, and turned his back to the five girls.
The five girls stared wide-eyed, overwhelmed. What's the situation with this master, he won't be physically disabled, right? In other words, if you don't have a physical illness, why buy fish?
Suddenly, Zhou Yu, who was lifted open in front of him and his hair was messy like a chicken nest, turned around angrily and asked, "What are your names?" ”
"Master, slave Saliya!" The tall and lanky woman said.
"Korya!" The burly woman replied.
"Willy!" The short-haired woman who had been sitting in the corner reported her life.
"Sandro!"
"Panini!"
It turned out that there were two underage children, one named Sandra and the other Panini. What the? Are you familiar with the name Panini? Seems to be from KFC? Don't be funny, return KFC, here are the hometown meatloaf that can make Zhou Yule snot bubble.
"No, no, no, there are too many names for me to remember for a while, and it's easy to mess up. Well, since I bought you, I have the right to change your name. Your name is Rose, your name is Narcissus, your name is Lily, your name is Jasmine, your name is Cuckoo! Remember? Together, you are five golden flowers! Originally, Zhou Yu wanted to call them Chunlan, Xia He, Qiu Ju, Dongmei and Nightshade. Later, I felt that it was a little too Chinese, especially that Qiu Ju might have to cause some trouble in the future, so I gave up.
"And, remember. I'm not called Grandpa, and I don't have a surname Bi! Rose, you will be their head in the future, and you will greet you for big and small things. Don't talk about the bedtime, I'm not interested. Oh no, I'm not used to making peace other than free love, do you understand? ”
The five of them shook their heads in unison.
Forget it, it doesn't make sense with you wild girls, Zhou Yu continued to pretend to sleep under the quilt. Alas, Nika, where can I find an empathetic woman like you? I really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, only because I am in this mountain.
With some maids waiting, Zhou Yu thinks it's pretty good. I finally lived the days I longed for the most when I was a child, and I came to stretch out my hands and eat to open my mouth, and these maids were really good at serving people, but sometimes they made the Metropolitan Governor feel very uncomfortable. It was very unpleasant not to have to do anything by yourself, and it was very unpleasant to even go to the toilet with someone following you.
At noon on the second day, Zhou Yu had just finished lunch and was closing his eyes in the house to recuperate, Rose had just made a shoulder and neck for him, and Lily was going to have a Thai style again. She's sturdy and can do a bit of hard work.
"My lord, news is back." Bamble whispered from outside the door. Zhou Yu knew that the news he said was the news fed back from the intelligence point in the city.
