Chapter 8 Auction, Eldest Sun Yan?
Li Yanran, who had been shopping for a day, was finally tired and returned to her house with Li Feng.
"Stuffy gourd, do you say that Miss Ben is handsome to capture that thief today?"
Li Feng glanced at Li Yanran and nodded.
I have to say that what the other party did today really impressed him.
"That's right, let's continue tomorrow, Miss Ben, be in charge of Shuai, you are responsible for shouting 666!"
"Lao Li, let's go to the East Market tomorrow, you go and inquire about what's interesting in the East Market, Miss Ben has to do a good job,"
Li Yanran had long been accustomed to Li Feng's stuffy gourd, and she didn't expect him to be a good man, so she continued to speak on her own.
At dawn the next day, the two of them left the house in disguise again and headed for Dongshi.
Compared with the many vendors in the West Market, there are many fewer people in the East Market, but the stores in this place will be larger, and the corresponding prices will be higher.
For the same Hu cake, the west market may only sell for one penny, but the east market will sell for three wen, and even more for five wen.
The corresponding price will be raised, and the meat content of the service and Hu Cake will also be improved.
"What's that?"
The two of them were walking on the street of Dongshi, and Li Yanran's eyes suddenly lit up, because she found something that she couldn't even think of.
A group of donkeys, draped in linen, are tied to the outside of a store.
"Rent a donkey?"
Li Yanran was full of question marks, what is this?
"Two sons, but you want to rent a donkey?"
Li Yanran was looking at the donkey in a daze, and Xiao Er hurriedly came over to greet her.
"Rent a donkey?"
Hearing this, Li Yanran was completely stunned, can you still rent a donkey in Chang'an City?
Could it be that the Tang Dynasty was so advanced? I'm afraid this is not the earliest Didi donkey, this is too good at playing.
"This son, Chang'an City is ten miles away from east to west, and nine miles from north to south, although the East City is not big, but the coolies have to wear out their feet when they walk down, not to mention those wealthy sons and children of official eunuchs, so most people who travel will rent a donkey to travel."
Seeing Li Yanran's appearance, Xiao Er also took the trouble to explain.
"And how do you rent this donkey?"
So that's the case, Li Yanran opened her mouth to ask about the price of renting a donkey, after all, it is better to expect Li Feng to expect the donkey to speak.
"Childe, our donkeys here are very cheap, only 50 wen per 20 li, if you rent two donkeys at once, I can also give you a discount, how about 48 wen for 20 li?"
Xiao Er did not despise Li Yanran because he was a child, in his opinion, everyone is the same, after all, if you can come to Dongshi to shop, you have some extra money in your pocket.
"And how do you calculate how many miles a donkey has walked?"
Hearing that it was actually charged according to the number of kilometers, Li Yanran was stunned again, isn't this the principle of taxis in later generations? According to the billing, it is too advanced.
"Childe, I don't know, our donkey walks slowly, and it takes half a day to walk twenty miles, so it is clearly said that it is billed by the mile, but in fact, it is still billed according to the time of return, and the return of fifty wen in half a day, and the return of one day is one hundred wen, I say this, you understand."
Xiao Er carefully answered the situation of the charge for Li Yanran, after all, they are honest, and they are engaged in long-term trading, and it is impossible to cheat people because the other party is a child, and break their reputation.
"I see, then come two donkeys, Li Feng, give money."
Li Yanran also nodded at Xiao Er, the other party didn't mean to look down on her at all, that posture was very similar to some luxury store clerks in later generations, giving priority to service, which made her very comfortable.
"One end."
Li Feng directly took out fifty copper coins and threw them to Xiao Er.
"Two sons, you also need a deposit, half-run."
Xiao Er counted the copper coins, confirmed the number, and then asked the two of them again for the donkey's deposit.
Li Feng frowned, but still took out a half-run copper coin and handed it to Xiao Er.
"Thank you for your patronage, this is a contract to rent a donkey, please keep it, and you can exchange it for your deposit at that time."
Xiao Er took the contract and handed it to the two, and the transaction of renting a donkey was completed.
"Little Er, is there anything interesting in this East Market?"
Li Yanran rode on the donkey and asked.
Although I asked Li Feng to inquire about what is interesting in the East Market yesterday, the places that Li Feng inquired about are all cultural and antique shops and the like, so what's the use?
Li Yanran felt that she had a hole in her head before she went to these places, not to mention that there were a lot of this thing at home, even if she didn't have it, she wouldn't have taken a second look, after all, she couldn't understand it.
Those things at home, if she wasn't afraid that the old lady would be angry, she would have changed them to gold, silver and jade long ago.
"I heard that Yaxing has just recently come from Lingnan Road to conduct a slave auction, and there are many beautiful women among them, if the two little sons are interested, they can go and have a look."
Hearing this, Xiao Er blurted out directly.
"Slave auction?"
Li Yanran couldn't help but be stunned, as a new youth who grew up in the new era, this word was too far away from her.
"Of course, if the two sons don't like this, there is a sideshow troupe in front of the tooth line, which is very interesting, you can go and take a look."
Hearing Li Yanran's words, Xiao Er felt that he had said the wrong thing, and he introduced Mao's slave market to the two hairy children, isn't it uncomfortable.
"Okay, thank you, little brother."
Li Yanran nodded, directly clamped the donkey with her legs, and left the donkey rental house and walked forward.
"Where are we going? Acrobatic troupe? ”
Li Feng grabbed the reins of the donkey and looked at Li Yanran on the donkey.
"Go to a vaudeville class, go to the tooth shop."
Li Feng knew that Li Yanran decided that even if ten donkeys couldn't pull it back, he could only obediently lead the donkey towards Yaxing.
Entering the range of Yaxing, Li Yanran found the high platform in front of her early, and there were more than a dozen women in ragged clothes standing on it, who were pointed at by the people below like goods.
"Let's go."
Li Yanran pointed with her hand, and Li Feng could only lead the donkey and walked over.
"There are a total of ten people here, all of them are refugees from Lingnan, and they have just signed a contract to sell themselves into slavery.
Although these women are in tattered clothes, they are all beautiful faces, and they are all young ladies before, as long as they recuperate a little and raise them for a while, they can restore their original appearance. ”
The person in charge of the auction is a professional tooth man in the tooth shop, looking at the crowd below, he directly picked up the small face of a homeless person with his hand and showed it to everyone.
"Don't talk nonsense, just wait, let's get started."
A middle-aged man who seemed to be smiling looked at the woman on the stage with bright eyes, urging the tooth man to start quickly.
"You see that this master is in a hurry, I won't talk nonsense, these ten women, each with a starting price of three times, a total of thirty times, let's start."
The tooth man is not angry at all, after all, he is a professional, if he can't stand this anger, this business will not be able to do it for a long time.
"Thirty consistent."
"Thirty consistent Wu Baiwen."
The people below consistently bid half-through, and the person who spoke at the beginning couldn't help but pout.
"A group of dirt buns, my Jin Yulou will be fifty times on Thursday"
"Jin Yulou?"
The person who directly bid for fifty teeth was also stunned, but he was also relieved to hear the name of Jin Yulou.
Jin Yulou is also outstanding in Chang'an's Fengyue place, and there are countless sons and daughters who spend money there every night.
Although the price is fifty taels, the wealth that these ten women can bring them is much more than that.
"How about it, I'll bid fifty times, does anyone want to rob me of Jinyulou?"
Jin Yulou's Thursday glared at the audience with beads of his eyes, a group of dirt buns, consistent, half-consistent bidding, and he really didn't even deserve to lift his shoes.
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be depressed, ordinary people are better to watch the excitement, but the snake people in other Xiaoqinglou are already eager to eat Thursday's meat.
"Hiss, let's go, let's go."
"It's just, I can't afford to mess with it, I can't afford to mess with it."
Hearing this, a few people who were still in high spirits just now instantly chose to give up.
Jin Yulou can be so big, there must be people standing behind him, the people don't fight with the officials, they can't afford to provoke, and they don't dare to provoke.
"Childe, what should I do, this Golden Jade Building is not easy to mess with."
On the edge of the crowd, a snake man spoke to the young man who was being guarded by two guards.
"Why is Jin Yulou not easy to mess with? Who is behind them? ”
Childe looked at the woman on the stage, her eyes were full of camouflage, and she didn't listen to the snake man's words at all.
"General Jin Wuwei Zheng Xuanfeng."
The snake man frowned and reported directly to the backstage of the Golden Jade Building.
"Zheng Xuanfeng, I thought it was a member of the imperial court, a dog, these women, this son must be taken, otherwise what should Xuanhualou do?"
Hearing Zheng Xuanfeng's name, Childe didn't care at all.
"My Xuanhualou bid seventy times."
"Seventy?"
Hearing this price, the tooth man was directly stunned,
If these ten people are sold at the usual price, they can almost be sold for about 60 yuan, and now in the majesty of Jinyulou, he is ready to sell it cheaply, but he didn't expect a big Kaizi of 70 yuan to pop up.
"Seventy? I heard me right, I'm afraid this person is not the trust found by Yaxing, and he wants to pit Jinyulou, right? ”
"Xuanhualou? Have you heard of it? ”
"I haven't heard of it, it is estimated that it is also a dragon crossing the river, otherwise it would be impossible to compete with Jin Yulou."
Everyone focused their eyes on the son who shouted the price, and the price of seventy yuan has exceeded the value of these women, and they still have to compete with Jin Yulou, which is very powerful.
"Did you hear that, there are really fools who are not afraid of death, who dare to steal business from my Jinyulou?"
Thursday stared at the man coldly, his eyes were full of coldness,
Dare to grab things from him Jin Yulou, I'm afraid I really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is.
"Boy, give you one more chance to withdraw your offer, I don't think it happened."
As the snake man spoke on Thursday, several thugs beside him also slowly walked towards Childe.
"Isn't it just a little Zheng Xuanfeng? Why do you still want to threaten me with this? Zhang Si Zhao Wu, call me. ”
While Childe was talking, the two guards had already rushed to Thursday's side like the wind, and they all fell to the ground with three strikes and five divisions.
"Boy, if you have the ability, you will leave your name."
Thursday knew that he had kicked the iron plate today, but he still didn't coax it at all, and asked the other party's name and surname.
"Want to know the name of the master? I'm not afraid to tell you that the master's surname is the eldest grandson, and his single name is a goose. ”
Childe kicked Thursday's body and snorted coldly to tell the other party to hurry up and get out.
"Eldest grandson? The son of the eldest grandson's family? ”
