Begging woman
The demon began to wander from stall to stall. The black market is just one stall after another. The stall demon has long been familiar with it, and there is no strangeness. The demon takes a fancy to a stone and begins to bargain with the stall owner. The demon saw that this stone was a spiritual mine, and what ore it was, the demon didn't know. The demon has not learned this course of ore identification yet, but he feels that this stone has an aura.
The demon asked the stall owner, "How much?"
The stall owner replied: "2,000 taels." ”
The demon asked, "Do you know what kind of stone this is?
The stall owner shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
The demon thought to himself, "I don't know, how can you know." "You don't know anything, and you shout so high." ”
The stall owner said, "How much do you give?"
The demon said, "200 taels." ”
The stall owner said, "This stone has an aura. ”
The demon said, "It's because of the aura that I gave you 200 taels." If you don't have aura, you think you can sell it!"
The stall owner didn't know the goods, and he didn't want to sell less, so he said, "Add more." ”
The demon said, "210 taels." ”
The stall owner laughed angrily, but he also wanted to sell this stone, which was heavy and occupied a position, so he said, "1,000 taels." ”
The demon put the stone down and left.
The stall owner immediately said, "800 taels." Seeing that the demon ignored him, he hurriedly said, "500 taels." ”
The demon replied, "250 taels." ”
The stall owner thought to himself, "You're a 250." He said, "The minimum is 300 taels." ”
The demon stopped, thought for 2 seconds, then stepped back and said, "Give me a bag of stones." 300 taels. Just find a bag. ”
The stall owner also understands that this stone is not easy to hold in his hand, and it is easy to carry it in a bag. But you have to use your own bag. When he saw a bag on the side of the stall, he pointed to it and said to the demon, "Where is there a bag, I don't have a bag." ”
The demon went to ask the stall owner. The stall owner saw the demon buying stones and knew that the demon was genuinely buying something. So he picked up the bag and showed it to the demon, and said, "This bag is very good." It is leather, with a large volume, which can be carried and dragged solidly. The demon looked at it carefully and pinched it again. I learned that this bag is two layers of leather inside and outside, and there is also a layer of extremely soft alloy wire woven in the middle. "I don't know what it is? This bag is of good quality, but it's not good-looking, it's not black, it's very dirty. The demon thought to himself.
"How much?" the demon asked the stall owner.
"1000 taels. The stall owner replied.
"Your pockets are black and not slippery, the old hat is very old, and the style is not new, so it doesn't look good at all. And I only buy a stone for 300 taels, I spend 1000 taels to buy a pocket of 300 taels of stones, am I crazy!!" The demon said angrily.
The stall owner also felt that 1,000 taels was too high, so he lowered his voice and said, "This thing is strong." 500 taels. ”
The demon said, "Up to 300 taels." With a pocket of 300 taels for 300 taels of stones, I felt balanced in my heart. ”
"Okay, okay. Sold you. The stall owner said helplessly.
The demon used two 300 taels to buy a stone and a pocket. The demon put the stone in his pocket, carried it on his back, and continued to walk around the stall.
The demon took a fancy to a chain in front of a stall again. It is made of skin, alloy wire, and any silk of the plant, and is 2 meters long. The demon pulled it and felt that it was solid, much better than the chain that cost 10 taels of silver before. So I asked the stall owner, "How much?"
The stall owner said, "1,000 taels." ”
The demon asked the stall owner again: "Do you know what this thing is? Why is this place cut off? The aura has not been returned 1,000 taels, rob it?"
The stall owner said, "500 taels." ”
The demon said, "100 taels." ”
The stall owner said, "450 taels." ”
The demon said, "150 taels." ”
The stall owner said, "400 taels." ”
The demon said, "200 taels." ”
The stall owners were confused: "300 taels." ”
The demon said, "Deal." ”
The demon bought a chain for 300 taels and gave it to the spirit hammer.
The demon saw a lute in a stall again. "After a long time, I came out, still holding the pipa and half covering my face" This poem demon has been studied. "Look at what it looks like for a beautiful woman to hold a lute. "The demon thought.
The demon picked up the lute and looked closely. The entire body of this lute is cast and forged in fine alloy, but the part of the box near the hand is cut, and the four strings are also cut and hung. The grooves, the pins, the passes, and the four strings are all made of alloy with aura. This is not an ordinary instrument, but a weapon. The workmanship is excellent, and the craftsmanship is well worth studying.
The demon asked the stall owner, pointing to the part of the pipa that had been cut, "What about the next part?"
The stall owner shook his head: "No." ”
The demon asked the stall owner, "How much?"
The stall owner replied: "1000 taels." ”
The demon said disdainfully: "A rag that can't be repaired, you want 1,000 taels, it's really like the money is straw paper." If it weren't for the fact that it could be disassembled and sold as scrap. I don't even bother to ask you. The demon shook his head and turned to leave.
The stall owner hurriedly said, "500 taels." ”
The demon didn't look back, raised two fingers, and replied: "200"
The stall owner said, "400 taels." ”
The demon replied, "Up to 300 taels." ”
Because of the large size of this bad pipa, it really can't be sold for much money, and the stall owner also wants to get rid of it, and the tickets cost 100 taels, and the tickets will be earned back. "Okay, okay. ”
The demon paid another 300 taels to buy a broken pipa. The demon thought: "Today's 300 taels is very close to me." Look at the next thing, it's still not 300 taels of deals. ”
The demon took a fancy to three more things, but 300 taels no longer had anything to do with the demon. People ask for 3,000 taels, 4,000 taels, and 5,000 taels respectively. No bargaining. It's not that the demon can't afford it, and he has tens of thousands of silver tickets on him. Because Zhao Laosan often educates demons and demons, he should be low-key and low-key in doing things for others. The demon is an obedient and good boy, so the demon only dares to buy things below 300 taels of silver, including 300 taels.
After the demon finished shopping in the black market, he walked to the door, and saw Zhao Laosan, Zhang Ben was already waiting at the door, nodded to each other, and waited there for Li Yufeng and Li Yuhe, two brothers and sisters.
30 minutes later, Li Yufeng and Li Yuhe, two siblings, also came out. With a more excited look, it seems that he has taken out a lot of things. Now the question is how to get back to the city. No one robbed you on the way here, people didn't know what you were doing, and when you went back, others knew that you came out of the black market. Discuss a way to get back safely. The black market gate is not daring to rob, and the city gate is not daring, the black market is about 2 miles away from the city gate. There is only one mile left in the middle and there is danger halfway through. Decided to open the way for the demons, Li Yuhe, Li Yufeng, and Zhang Ben followed in turn, and Zhao Laosan postponed and ran back to the city as fast as possible, without delay. Because of Li Yuhe, Li Yufeng, and Zhang Ben's martial arts are poor.
The five of them put their things in order, tied them tightly, and put their weapons in the easiest place to be allocated. The demon handed the chain he had just bought to Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe, and Zhang Ben said, "Hold on and I'll drag you to run." "Zhao Laosan won't be arrested. The demon shouted, got up, and the five of them rushed to the city gate, and the road went smoothly, no one grabbed anything, blocked it, and ran to the city gate, and everyone was at ease.
No one robbed them because everyone else regarded Zhao Laosan, who was following at the end, as a fast catch, and escorted the four thieves, bandits, and robbers who were tied together with ropes back to the yamen. The speed of running is so fast, who can tell the difference, whether the rope is tied to the hand or grasped in the hand. Who doesn't have nothing to do, to provoke something to catch fast.
The five of them discussed going back to the inn where the demon lived first to clean up the harvest. The main thing is to show off how good my vision is, and the things I buy are good and cheap.
Except for Zhao Laosan, the other four people sat on the floor of the demon's room, placing the things they bought in front of them, and everyone watched.
Zhao Laosan once took a fancy to a dagger with aura, and asked for 4,000 taels, so he gave up. So I didn't buy anything and didn't participate in the onlookers. This dagger demon also asked, and 4,000 taels also gave up.
Zhang originally bought a set of women's sexy underwear, which was very delicate and beautiful, full of temptation, and spent 100 taels of silver, saying that it was for his wife. Zhao Lao understood in three seconds, and smiled ambiguously at Zhang Benben. Demons, Li Yufeng, and Li Yuhe are all students in the academy, they don't understand, and they don't react.
The demon bought the ore with aura and the tattered pipa, and everyone couldn't understand it. Looking at the demon and hoping that the demon would explain.
The demon explained, "The reason I bought that ore was to practice my hands. Because there is a course in the next semester, the content is how to identify ores with aura, and process, deepen, and forge ores with aura. I bought that tattered pipa because I wanted to learn, study its production process, and at the same time dismantle some scraps. Because there are a few parts with aura that can also be worth a hundred taels. I bought that bag to hold the spirit hammer, and my spirit hammer was too big and conspicuous, so others couldn't see it when it was in the bag. As for the chain, it is used to tie it to the back of the spirit hammer and use it as a chain hammer. ”
Li Yuhe took the chain and looked at it, and said: "This chain is alloy wire, supplemented by leather, and mainly gold wire." This rattan is produced in the south, tough, lightweight, and has a certain hardness, supplemented by alloy wire to improve toughness and hardness, and leather is intended to improve friction and prevent hand slippage. All alloys are not good, too hard, too heavy, and not easy to control. Even if it was cut off, it was worth 800 taels. It should be that the whip has been cut off, and the rest is broken. ”
It dawned on everyone.
Li Yufeng pointed to his pile of medicinal herbs and said, "This is a hundred years of ginseng, a 30-year-old astragalus, and a 10-year-old atractylodes. "Everyone is not interested, because Li Yufeng understands it alone. This medicinal material has no popularity, only those who know how to understand it.
Li Yuhe is a pile of wood, vines, fruits, and seeds. And the people were more confused. Li Yuhe explained: "I am a second-level planter and need to make something. But my favorite thing is to grow flowers, grass and trees. ”
Li Yufeng added: "Our family has a few mountains, planted a lot of herbs, trees, and others, which are in charge of Li Yuhe. ”
Li Yuhe said embarrassedly: "It's the second uncle who is in charge, and I'm only responsible for a small part." ”
The demon asked, "You need to hire people to grow medicinal herbs, right?"
Li Yuhe said: "Weeding, watering, shading, etc., although it is not heavy physical work, but the place is large, and many people are needed." ”
The demon asked, "Do you need people now, do you have any requirements for those who need them?"
Li Yuhe said: "You need people at any time." Live without getting tired. Ordinary people can do it with a little guidance. ”
"I saw a woman in her 30s at the pier with two children around 10 years old begging there. Miff was killed by the water thieves. If you want to find something to do, others can want her, but don't want those two children. The woman didn't want to leave the two children, so she had to take them with her to beg. Would you like them? Her request was to take the two children to eat with them. ”
Li Yuhe: "Where are the people?" The little girl's heart is generally soft.
The demon replied, "I saw it at the docks yesterday." ”
Li Yuhe said eagerly: "Go." Check it out. ”
Demons, Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe left Zhao Laosan, and Zhang was gone.
Zhang Ben sighed: "Young man." He turned to Zhao Laosan and said, "It's better for us to be brothers." Young people have a world of young people. "Asked the innkeeper to order some dishes, and asked Qingtian for wine with Zhao Laosan.
The demon took Li Yuhe, and Li Yufeng found the woman with 2 children begging at the dock.
Li Yuhe said to the woman: "Auntie, our family grows medicinal materials, and we need to find someone to take care of them." Would you like to go?"
The begging woman saw the demon next to her, and she knew that she had brought a lot of steamed buns to their mother and daughter yesterday. He said, "I am a farmer in my hometown." But take my two little children and feed them, not sell them. I don't need to be paid. ”
Hiring is not the same as servitude. The hired have personal liberty and must be paid, while the servants have no personal liberty and cannot run, and if they are caught, they will be killed.
Li Yuhe emphatically said: "It's employment. Not to buy. You have freedom. Would you like to go?"
The woman said, "Thank you." Then he said to the demon, "Thank you." "I know it's the Demon Gang.
The demon followed Li Yufeng, Li Yuhe took a pair of children, and a woman entered the gate of Li's house before saying goodbye. From the moment I saw this woman with two children yesterday, the demon was very depressed, until after doing this, the demon felt refreshed.
Back at the inn, the demon saw Zhao Laosan.
Zhao Laosan said: "Zhang has already left. There is an organization in Yangcheng that inquires and sells all kinds of information. Zhang had already paid an advance payment of 200 taels to this organization to inquire about the situation of everything and all the mines in Yangcheng. There will be information in three days. ”
The demon said, "Uncle, you find out how to contact this organization that sells information, and inquire about the situation of the Li family." Don't tell Zhang Ben about this. ”
