Chapter 12 Buying and Selling in the Human Market
When they arrived at the village, Wang Daming and Ma Chenggang got out of the carriage. Immediately, a bunch of uncles and aunts gathered around. Tried to come forward and pull at his clothes. These people shouted, "Come to my side, come to my side!"
On the side, Ma Chengzhen was angry and stroked his hand and shouted a few times: Get out.
These uncles and aunts scattered in a hurry.
Wang Daming didn't know what was going on, looking at this messy situation, like pulling people to the hotel at the exit of the train station in his hometown.
Ma Cheng turned around and explained to him: "These are the old Sister Gui Gong Gu in the Qinglou, who is old and ugly, and can no longer serve in the Qinglou. Hongjiu Commercial Bank can only send them here. But the real good goods will not be in their hands. These people have been in the Qinglou for a long time, and they talk about people when they see people, talk nonsense when they see ghosts, and they don't pay for their lives. ”
Wang Daming nodded and followed Ma Cheng into the gate of the village.
As soon as you enter the inside, the lively and fishy smell comes to your face. Looking inside, it was crowded with people. Only human heads can be seen. All kinds of shouting and bidding came and went. He didn't expect that the human market would be so lively.
Follow the road squeezed out by Ma Cheng and go inside, and enter a larger pavement.
Ma Cheng shouted: "Old Yu, it's time for big business."
A stout man came out the back door of the shop. This man's face does not look old, but his temples are gray. This old Yu laughed: "Why did Xiao Chengzi come to me today?"
Ma Cheng said: "This is my friend, I just bought the house of the Xuanwu Gang Bai Protector. No, I'll bring him to you. You have to be kind and pick out some good goods. ”
Lao Yu said: "What else can I worry about here." He turned his head and shouted to the back door, "Jiu'er, bring those new goods out." ”
After a while, a teenage girl led a dozen people out from behind. These people are old and young, and the only thing they have is that their eyes are relatively dark.
Ma Cheng said: "Old Yu, introduce me." ”
Lao Yu arched his hand at Wang Daming: "These goods are all from Phoenix City, and they have nothing to do with Stormwind City." So these goods have already accepted their fate and will not run. And although they are all from Phoenix, they are not from the same place, and they don't know each other. ”
As a modern person, Wang Daming has only been here for a few days. The whole concept of morality has not yet changed. Seeing these people standing there like goods and being picked, he felt a pang in his heart. I didn't have the heart to choose carefully, I just wanted to buy it back quickly.
"I want a butler, four guards, two maids, and two cooks, and if you think anyone is up to the task, stand up for yourself. ”
These people listened to Wang Daming's words, looked left and right, and finally a person who looked strong stood up, and after the first person stood up, the people behind also followed Hula and all stood up.
It's hard to pick.
Wang Daming counted, there were 15 people in this group, and only 9 were needed according to his own plan. But it's not easy to choose depending on the situation. After thinking about it, he said:
"I have been a butler and raise my hand. ”
Hearing Wang Daming's question, a gray-haired old man raised his hand, and then a middle-aged uncle also raised his hand. The old man looked at the middle-aged uncle, then put his hand down and sighed.
Wang Daming didn't care, and continued: "Raised hands as a guard"
At this time, a whole 8 men raised their hands, Wang Daming looked at it carefully, there were all fat and tall, but the exposed arms were all obvious muscles, and the blood vessels were bursting.
He continued, raising his hand as a maid.
Three petite girls raised their hands.
Then Wang Daming asked again if he could cook, and a middle-aged woman raised her hand.
The three girls and the middle-aged woman were not good-looking, even a little ugly.
Only one woman with her head bowed did not raise her hand.
Wang Daming said to the woman: "Why don't you raise your hand, what will you do?"
The woman raised her head, and at first glance at the outline, Wang Daming felt that this woman's appearance was not bad. If you look closely, the woman's face is covered with pimples, and she suddenly becomes extremely ugly.
The woman spoke in a very good voice: "I can teach people to read, I can draw, I can play the piano, I can dance"
The woman spoke eagerly.
Wang Daming turned his head to Lao Yu and said, "Lao Yu, I want all these 15 people, how much silver." ”
When Ma Cheng heard him say this, he was very surprised, and felt that he really had so much money that he had nowhere to spend it.
Lao Yu laughed happily: "Wang Gongzi is really refreshing, 10 of these 15 men, 9 strong laborers, 10 taels of gold per person, and the old man is half price, 5 taels." There are 5 women, the 3 younger ones are also 10 taels, and the other two are a giant ugly and one is old, which is counted as 5 taels a. ”
Ma Cheng said to Lao Yu on the side: "Lao Yu, you don't pay attention to it, you dare to open such a high price for such crooked melons and cracked dates." Don't take your own sign down. ”
Lao Yu immediately replied: "Xiao Chengzi, you can't say that, these are all from Phoenix City." If you inquire outside, are there any goods from Phoenix City here? There were more than 100 people who came here at the beginning, and there are only a few left here, can it not be expensive? ”
Wang Daming stopped Ma Cheng from opening his mouth, took out two golden tickets and handed them to Lao Yu and said, "Okay, a total of 135 taels, hurry up and hand them over." ”
Lao Yu said: "Brother Wang, I have made up your friend." ”
After speaking, he turned around and took out a white medicine bottle from the cabinet and handed it to Wang Daming. "These people have all taken chronic poison, and this is the antidote to the toxicity. There are 100 capsules in it, and as long as they take one pill a month, they are no different from normal people. After eating this bottle of medicine, you can still spend some money to buy it from me, it's very cheap. ”
Wang Daming turned the medicine bottle upside down, looked up and said to Lao Yu: "Is there an antidote that can solve all the toxicity at one time?" ”
Lao Yu stared at him for a while, and suddenly laughed:
"Of course there is an antidote, but this antidote is a secret that my Yu family does not pass on."
"I'm just going to buy an antidote, not a prescription, you're worried about it. Say the number, how many are willing to sell. ”
Lao Yu said with a smile:
"The antidote should be one pill a day, three days in a row, that is, three pills per person. 10 taels of gold. How many do you want?"
Wang Daming calculated, 15 people, 3 per person, 45 pieces, 450 taels. More than 3 times more than the price of the buyer.
He took out 4 more golden tickets, and calculated that he could still recover 15 taels. So much money has been spent, so be more generous.
"There are 15 taels left, you can find a non-toxic cook to make up for me, and by the way, help me bring them all to my house, the address is No. 1 Yiwu, North District. ”
Lao Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely safe for you." ”
Then he went back to the cabinet and took out another light green bottle and handed it to Wang Daming:
"There are 50 special antidote pills here, and 5 more will be given to you. Then he shook the six golden tickets in his hand: "Then I won't send it, go slowly, Brother Wang"
Wang Daming and Ma Cheng squeezed out of the stockade again, boarded the carriage, and drove in the direction of the inn.
On the way back to the inn, neither Ma Cheng nor Wang Daming said a word. It wasn't until he arrived at the inn that Ma Cheng said to him: "Brother Wang, if you need anything, you can come to Ying'an Commercial Bank's Haoli to find me, just over there on Qinglong Street." As long as it's in Stormwind, I can do it. ”
Wang Daming waved his hand at Ma Cheng, turned around and entered the inn.
