Chapter 134: Auction
Rome is an interesting country, and many scholars believe that the decline and demise of the Roman Empire was partly due to open sexual attitudes.
In Rome, chicken women can be seen everywhere, and men will not be restrained in spending all day and drinking, because of the existence of slaves, having children is only a burden for the family and does not help, so some Romans are not interested in having offspring at all, plus they like to bathe in public baths, the fertility rate has plummeted, and finally because of the lead water pipes, the life span is not long (the average life expectancy of the nobles in the later period is about 25).
As a result, the Romans in the later period could not even find their own men who could serve as soldiers, and the legions were all foreigners, and various problems arose one after another, and finally perished.
Therefore, when Senatia said this, everyone just laughed, and it was a well-known fact that Gally Beach liked men.
"95 gold ori!" Gary Beach added the price again: "This is the final price, for you, he is not worth the price for a long time." ”
The corners of Senatia's eyes jumped, 95 Orie is also a lot of money for her, which is completely beyond the price of ordinary slaves, and the beautiful female slave she bought before was only 80 Orie!
“100!” Senatia took a deep breath and decided to gamble, at most 40 ori would be wasted, and the slave could be sold if it was sold again, but if the fat pig increased the price, she would have to give up.
Gary Beach smiled, he saw Senatia's thoughts, and knew that this was the other party's reserve price, and he decided to add a little bit of Giorri to let everyone know that I, Gary Beach, was not easy to mess with: "One hundred and zero. ”
Zhao Yu saw that this fat pig still had to make an offer, and he was angry, is your mother finished? Is Lao Tzu so attractive to men? It's disgusting! He wouldn't want to be bought by Gary Beach if he killed him now, so he immediately thought of a plan, and began to convulse all over, spraying saliva outward in his mouth, staring at Gary Beach with his eyes, and his face was red, as if he had an epileptic seizure!
“。。。” Gary Beach, who hadn't finished shouting the price yet, was really stunned, what was the situation? Is this slave sick? I drop God, I don't want him anymore, don't infect me!
The auctioneer was also stunned, just said that you are in good health, you are like this, aren't you smashing our brand? So who will dare to buy our slaves in the future? So he hurriedly remedied: "God, what's wrong with you, why don't you tell us when you're sick!" Why should the damn thing deceive us! This transaction is voided, we will not cheat customers! ”
The people in the audience were also dumbfounded, it was really a twist and turn.
"Wait!" Seeing this opportunity, Senatia hurriedly spoke up: "You actually took sick slaves out to be sold as good slaves, thinking that I am a bully? ”
"Of course not, Lord Senatia!" The auctioneer jumped to his feet anxiously: "We won't do such a thing!" We've checked all the slaves, and we don't know what's wrong with him! ”
At this time, seeing that the goal had been achieved, Zhao Yu stopped the performance and pretended to be weak, don't scare the beauty away... Well, in fact, Senatia would have turned around and left if it weren't for that diamond.
"I don't care, it's the responsibility of your slave shop if something like this happens, my father will be interested in talking to you!" Senatia was pressed.
The auctioneer wiped his sweat, an old man they couldn't afford to provoke, gritted his teeth and said: "Look at this, this transaction is invalid, your offer is not counted, and we will compensate you a high-quality slave, free of charge!" The choice is yours! The same goes for Lady Gary Beach! ”
"It's like I'm taking advantage of you." Senatia, who was indeed taking advantage, pretended to say: "Then so be it, so what do you do with this slave?" ”
"Of course it's sold as waste!" The auctioneer gritted his teeth, this damn slave cost them two good slaves!
"I think he's really pleasing to the eye, 10 Quaurie, I bought it." Senatia said lightly.
The auctioneer's heart was dripping blood, a slave who didn't know what disease could be sold for 20 ori, this woman cut off half as soon as she opened her mouth, and he couldn't refuse: "Okay, deal!" ”
After some negotiations, Senatia won a big victory, took Zhao Yu and all the female slaves to the branding place, and labeled them as slaves, while Gary Beach, who had selected a strong male slave, stared at Zhao Yu's ass, shook his head and sighed.
In this world, Roman slaves were to be branded with red-hot metal, and the content of the seal was generally the initials of the master plus the initials of the city, while in a large family like Senatia, the slave had a special seal, and the content was the family name of Oria and Senatia.
Although Zhao Yu was very repulsive, he had no choice but to write the account on the head of the system, the red metal was attached to the back of the neck, and there was a snort, and the cyan smoke was accompanied by the smell of meat, which made Zhao Yu feel painful and disgusting, fortunately, the body repair of this scar system could be removed, otherwise Zhao Yu would not agree even if he gave up the task.
On the way back, Senatia couldn't help herself, she didn't forget her goal: "Slave, what's your name?" ”
"Zhao." Zhao Yu said, very unhappy with Senatia's attitude, it feels really uncomfortable to be a slave.
"What a strange name, bring me what you have in your hands and I'll take a look." She doesn't care about a sick slave.
"What? Is this one? Zhao Yu handed over the fake diamond to Senatia, this is bait, and it has reached its mission, but he still pretended not to know its value, and said: "This is what I picked up in prison, this stone is shiny and beautiful." ”
"It's pretty good, and now that the stone is mine, I'll give it back for buying your waste." Senatia stuffed the diamond into her arms as if nothing had happened, but in fact, she was crazy with joy in her heart, and her heartbeat exceeded 180!
Bet right! Such a large, long, neat and beautiful, ingenious diamond is a rare treasure that Senatia has never seen in his life! Just this small grain, she thinks it can be sold for 10,000 gold ori, even if the Roman emperor may not have it!
Zhao Yu looked at Senatia's appearance of picking up a big bargain, and felt funny in his heart, he also understood that the main reason was that diamonds could not be cut and processed at that time, and they were all natural shapes, which could only be cut in the 14th century.
Senatia, who got such a treasure, looked at Zhao Yu much more pleasantly, and didn't care if he had any diseases, so he arranged a job for him to clean the stables.
Senatia's mansion is in the center of Carthage, covering a large area, there are dozens of slaves in the family, most of them are women, cleaning and taking care of the horses is a very easy job, so she used to be a female slave doing it, and now she is happy to hand over the work to Zhao Yu.
So, on the second night of the crossing, Zhao Yu slept in the stable, with a thick layer of hay, although there was also a smell and mosquitoes, but it was much better than the first night.
