Along the way, Ah-Dai kept chattering to Xia Xun about the three commodities he wanted to buy: iron, jade and slaves.
After exhausting all his knowledge of iron and steel, Ah-Dai talked about jade stones again: "There are many types of gemstones, such as cat's eyes, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, etc. But to say that they are marketable in the Central Plains, it should be
Is it yu stone? When it comes to this yu stone, the sweet and yellow yu stone is the top grade, the mutton-fat color is the inferior grade, and the emerald green color is the third grade..."
In the Ming Dynasty, the sweet and yellow color was the top quality, and the mutton-fat white came second. Modern people value white and light yellow, mainly because white is rare, but at that time, the sweet and yellow color was considered beautiful and expensive.
Duan said again: "This sweet yellow color is also steamed chestnut color. Its texture is as moist as beef milk. It is more expensive. But if I want to buy the finished product, the price will be high. I will take you back to see Yu Pu first. How good is your luck?"
It's so good, maybe I can choose a few good ones, and if they are all beautiful after being cut out, I'll be rich!"
Xia Xun heard this interestingly, and really gained a lot of knowledge, so he said: "In that case, why don't we go and see the jade stone first?"
Dumb shook his head repeatedly: "Master, if you look at jade stones at night, it's easy to see flaws, but women are different. There is an old saying, never pick a woman by candlelight, and don't pick a piece of cloth by candlelight. That's what it says
For this reason, under the light, you can easily overlook their flaws, so if you want to buy a female slave, it is better to choose during the day!"
After hearing this, Xia Xun hurriedly said: "No, no, no, what I want to buy may not necessarily be a female slave. Let's take a tour of the entire slave trade!"
Dumb reminded: "Master, the slave who makes money is a slave with beautiful appearance and voluptuous figure!"
Xia Xun smiled and said nothing. He just wanted to pick some of all kinds of people, men, women, young and old, of all races. If everyone was mixed together, he would not be so conspicuous. He didn't care whether he made money.
.
Passing by a tavern, the door was open. Inside, there was a barbarian, who has gradually disappeared in Europe in recent decades, playing the balalaika and singing: "Look, compared with the morning, the night is so shameless, so shameless."
There are so many sins, indulgences and uncultured behaviors in the drunkenness.
On May Day, after their parents and others have gone to sleep, young people drink cider from barrels, they dance, they eat gluttonously, and they seduce young maidens into the woods, where neither stables nor smocks nor padlocks can stop them.
If you live in a fire, if the fire is too close to the dry wood, bad things will always happen. When the girls walk out of the woods facing the sunshine, less than a third of a hundred people are still innocent..."
Xia Xun only thought that the yin bard's voice was pleasant, but he couldn't understand what he was singing. But Ah-Dai obviously understood. He covered his mouth and chuckled with pleasure. (Hands, beat. Update.
super fast)
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because of his stupid master, of course, this was just what he was thinking, and he didn't say it out loud. After his stupid master entered the slave market, he actually didn't like to choose female slaves, but wandered around the circle of male slaves.
That's all. Many of these slaves were resold here as prisoners of war and other reasons. Many of them were strong laborers, but his master actually picked a blacksmith, a builder, and a sailor!
There is actually an accountant who looks very frail!! There is actually a black slave!!!
Oh my God, my God!
Dui was so angry that he fainted from his employer's stupid behavior. He really thought about his employer. If his employer bought these people back but couldn't sell them at a good price, he would feel sincerely ashamed of his dereliction of duty. This
It would ruin his good reputation in Talbgur. He protested to his employer almost angrily, but Xia Xun agreed without hesitation and asked him to help select a few female slaves with high potential for appreciation.
, and he was too lazy to continue walking.
Ah-Dai had no choice but to put Xia Xun in a tavern. The newly bought slaves were sitting under the eaves in front of the shop. Ah-Dai was not afraid that they would run away. Once the escaped slaves were captured, they would be beaten to death and no one would care.
Even if they escape here, they have no way to survive. Being a beggar in a place like this is no more comfortable than being a slave.
Ah-Dai made up his mind to select some outstanding slave girls for his employer, and had already recovered the losses of the few slaves his employer had bought at his own initiative. Xia Xun and Liu Yujue were sitting in the tavern, eating.
Enjoy local-style dishes and taste local wine. Various wines sold here include pepper wine, huā pepper wine, mulberry wine, etc. The most popular one is of course wine.
After about half an hour, Ah-Dai rushed back excitedly and shouted: "Master, master, come on, I found two top-grade slaves. They have extremely hot bodies. They can kill people with just a swing of their waists."
My soul is hooked, those slender and strong big tui are so sexy, I will definitely sell them at a good price if I take them back to the Central Plains."
Xia Xun sat at ease and said with a smile: "Come on, let's take a sip of wine to moisten your throat. Is it really as good as you say?"
Ah-Dai took the wine handed over by Xia Xun and drank it in one gulp as if drinking water. He smacked his lips, tasted the taste greedily, burped and said, "Yes, sir, it's really true."
It's top quality, if it weren't for the special conditions they proposed, it would have been bought by someone else, and I wouldn't be able to grab it."
Xia Xun asked curiously: "Conditions? Buying and selling slaves just requires money. What conditions did their master put forward?"
Dumb shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, they are free people, not other people's slaves. They sell themselves, and that slave auction house only gets commissions from them."
At this point, Liu Yujue saw that he was thirsty and had already poured him another glass of wine. Duan thanked him, sat down on the stool next to Xia Xun, took a sip of the wine, and said with great interest: "That's it, it is said that
They were robbed by thieves, and they originally lived in Kuxian!"
Kuxian later became Jiangkuqa County, and before Kuxian, it was called Qiuci. Ah-Dai said excitedly: "Those two girls are very beautiful and are very popular at auctions, but the conditions they proposed are too harsh.
, so many buyers have retreated."
Xia Xun asked curiously: "What conditions did they put forward?"
Duan said: "Speaking of which, they are quite affectionate and righteous. When their family was in trouble, an employee of their ranch helped them escape with all their might. However, both the employee and his wife were killed by horse thieves, leaving only
The next little girl, it is said that the employee has relatives in Shazhou, so the condition for these two beauties is that the person who buys them must be a merchant from Shazhou, or a Hu merchant who will sell goods to Shazhou soon.
"
"Oh?" Xia Xun's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Dumb didn't pay attention at all and continued to talk: "They said that if they wanted to buy them, they would have to take them with them, the little girl who lost her parents, and the remaining loyal servant until the little girl was taken away.
The girl is sent to her relatives' home in Shazhou. As long as she agrees to this condition, she can sign a deed of sale at a lower price. Sir, you need to be more careful. This group of Shazhou merchants has just arrived. If someone from them also visits the slave market, be the first to do so.
In front of you..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Xun stood up as fast as lightning and asked quickly: "Where are they? Take me to see them!"
Dumb was stunned, then stood up and said: "Master is interested, I will take you to see it!"
Xia Xun turned to Liu Yujue and said, "You stay here and look after the people we bought. I'll be back soon!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Master, master, this is it. Look, they are still on the stage!"
In front of a slave auction stage, there were many slave buyers and onlookers crowded together. Standing on the stage was a fat man, who was introducing loudly in the local language at the top of his lungs: "Look! Look! How enchanting.
Beauty, this chest as tall as snow-capped mountains, waist like snake, these slender and powerful breasts, enchanting eyes, if you buy them, you can enjoy endless pleasures, or you can make money by changing hands.
A lot of gold coins, look! Such a hot girl is still innocent, a rare good thing!"
It's March in spring, but the weather here is still relatively cold, but the two beauties on the stage are wearing very sexy and voluptuous clothes.
They only wore a pair of corsets, exposing their snow-white and soft lower abdomens; their chests were stretched tightly, and the two towering breasts were constantly trembling as they walked, as if they might jump out of their bodies at any time, making the men squirm.
Swallowing. Their lower bodies are tied up in gauze skirts, and their toned, slender, straight and round breasts are looming in the split gauze skirts, and sometimes their attractive skin or moving curves are exposed.
There are a bunch of copper bells on the ankles of their naked feet. When they walk gracefully, the bells on their feet will make a pleasant sound. This outfit is no different from other beautiful slaves in the auction, but it is rare.
It's their temperament. Their faces are all covered with thin veils, and their golden hair is tied behind their heads. There is a noble temperament in their graceful movements, which shows that they must have a good background.
The slave owner shouted at the top of his lungs, his mouth was dry, and he stepped aside to drink water. Immediately, someone on the side of the stage played soft, lingering, exotic music, so originally he was just showing off himself along with the fat slave owner.
The two beauties with graceful figures walking around on the stage began to dance to the music.
Their dance is full of provocation, but also has a kind of superior elegance and arrogance, which makes people involuntarily desire to conquer, and the melancholy look in their blue eyes like the sea from time to time is to seduce men.
When the waist twisted in a snake-like rhythm, many men couldn't help but scream strangely. Some people kept rushing to the slave owner to ask about the price. However, after learning about the other's harsh conditions, they angrily
Back off.
Seeing Xia Xun staring at the stage intently, with his mouth slightly open, as if he was drooling, Ah-Dai couldn't help but smile smugly: "Master, these two slaves are pretty good, aren't they? Hehe, they must have a very good background.
Well, now I am in trouble. Such a woman not only loses the elegance and charm of a lady, but also has the liveliness and docility of a slave. This is a gift for men. Once she gets on the bed, hehehe...
,**ah!"
Xia Xun didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on the stage, and his breathing was quickening. When Ah-Dai saw it, he couldn't help but start planning for Xia Xun dutifully: "Oh no, seeing how greedy he is, once he buys these two beauties, he will
It’s very possible that I’ll just stay and enjoy it for myself, I’m worried! Is this Han guest here to make money?”
Xia Xun stared closely at the stage, suppressing his excited voice, and said to Ah-Dai word by word: "I'm going to make a decision about these two women!"
