Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 57 057
The two returned to the deserted courtyard where they changed their clothes before.

Mu Yu was not in a hurry to change back into his clothes and put things into the space, but stroked his chin with a thoughtful look.

Yang Erlang just watched quietly and didn't disturb her.

Mu Yu thought for a long time, and finally found the idea that flashed through her mind when she was at the grocery store.

I am worried that the people on the way to escape from the famine will be unbalanced and difficult to control, so why not buy some slaves?
The slaves of ancient times dared not disobey the orders of their buyers.

Although there are also phenomena of evil slaves deceiving their masters, they are very few in the end.

Generally speaking, a reliable friend is better than a servant, a servant is better than an unreliable acquaintance, and an acquaintance is better than a stranger on the road.

There are only a few of them, and there is no way to develop more in a short time, so they can only attack the servants.

"Erlang, I have an idea, we can buy some servants, so that we can feel more at ease on the road."

Yang Erlang thought for a while, looked at the sacks containing old grain and bran on the ground, and said,
"We don't have any money, but we can use food to replace people. But, how many people do you want to replace?"

When Mu Yu was asked, he also thought about this question, right, how many people should be replaced?
Two or three are too few and have little effect, and twenty or thirty are too many and cannot be replaced.

Well, about ten would be fine.

"Only ten, almost enough."

Yang Erlang didn't speak immediately, but lowered his head and thought again.

"Our food can probably be exchanged for ten people, but these ten people also need to eat and drink, which is not a small expense.

Counting those people who might follow us in the ruined temple, I am afraid that food and water will not be enough. "

This is indeed a problem.

Mu Yu made a rough estimate, "It should be barely enough, let's go and see the situation first."

"it is good."

Mu Yu kept the grain and bran, and put the rest into the mustard space, and then the two headed towards the nearby tooth store.

She had visited this area carefully before, so of course she knew the shops nearby, and it happened that there was a dental shop not too far from here.

You don't even need to see the sign to know where you are.

When approaching the tooth shop, there are many small tooth people selling slaves on the nearby streets, and many people are planting straw signs to sell themselves.

Mu Yu was surprised, the last time she came to investigate, there were not so many people, but at that time she always avoided people, and of course she would not come close to people when she saw them.

Except in the ruined temple, she hadn't seen so many people for a long time.

She originally wanted to take a look here, but it turned out that these people were far more eager than her, and dozens of pairs of eyes were all looking at them, making it a bit overwhelming.

No, to be precise, more eyes fell on the sacks containing grain in their hands.

Faced with these covetous eyes, Yang Erlang pushed her lightly, and said in a low voice,
"Go to the dental store first to understand the market, and then look at these."

Mu Yu nodded, now is really not a good time to stay.

The two turned into the dental shop at the end of the street.

As soon as they turned in, those prying eyes were separated, and the two of them immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

The dental assistant immediately walked towards the two, his eyes fell on the sack from time to time, his eyes were full of shrewdness, but not as naked as those outside.

"What kind of servants do you two come to the tooth shop to buy?
We have all kinds of products here, and we guarantee that you can buy what you are satisfied with. "

Mu Yu briefly glanced at the situation in the yard, and knew that what the guy said was right, there were really all kinds of people here, from male to female, from old to young, strong and beautiful.

It just depends on whether people can afford to pay.

She recovered herself and said to the fellow,

"We want to buy some servants who can look after the home."

The guy smiled, "We have a lot here. It's not stable recently. Many people come to look after the house."

Then, turning the subject again, he said,

"The servants who guard the house are divided into three classes with us.

This class is the best, tall and strong, and most of them have the time to be around, which is very rare, and usually they are booked by rich families when they show up.Of course, this is also the most expensive.

This second class is also good, the physique is not bad, and it looks neat, the price is less than half of the first class, and it is the most popular.

The third class is relatively not so good, heck, of course it is still good, and the bad ones can't get into our dental clinic at all.

You can rest assured that the hands and feet of these three classes are tall, short, fat, and thin, but they are not so well-proportioned, but they are cheap, and there are quite a lot of people who use them.

Take a look, which grade you want to buy, how many do you want, I will call someone to show you a real look. "

After the buddy finished speaking, he observed the reactions of the two of them. Although he knew that most of them would choose the third class, he still had to introduce what should be introduced. Maybe it would be successful?
In fact, the ones that have been sold recently are all of the third class. The first class were bought by half of the members of the Wang family who fled the famine and went south. .

Merchants who do not have a big business all buy third-class ones, just for the sake of cheapness, and most of the time, they are indeed similar in use.

Mu Yu and Yang Erlang looked at each other, they had no choice but to choose the third class.

As for the question of how many they want, we have to consider how many they can want.

"I wonder what the price of the third class is?"

"In the past, it was always five taels of silver, but now that the times are bad, they are sold for three taels.

If it is exchanged for grain, the second-grade old grain will cost [-] catties, the better old grain will cost [-] catties, and the bran will cost upwards of [-] catties. "

Mu Yu and Yang Erlang looked at each other. To be honest, the price was quite high, but not too high.

After all, at this time, this kind of sale is to buy out a person's life.

The guy is also a good person. He has seen many guests before, and he can tell what the two of them are thinking at a glance, and said,

"Ham, this price is really not expensive, it's a good deal, think about it, don't you?"

Mu Yu pretended to be tangled and hesitant and said,
"This is too different from what we thought, let's go look elsewhere."

Yang Erlang nodded in cooperation.

The guy sees this kind of situation too much, so he immediately asks him to stay,
"Don't, don't, we are the dental shop with the biggest reputation and the best reputation recently, and the servants who go out here are absolutely obedient and easy to use, and they are guaranteed to buy.

Although the ones outside are cheap, they are not reliable. What if they run away?
It's okay to run away, but what if he still seeks money and kills him? "

Seeing that the two of them were not very old, the buddy deliberately made his words serious in order to frighten them.

But Muyu really doesn't like this,
"Ah, I've never heard of such a thing, and it doesn't happen much in the future, of course we want good ones, but we don't have enough money.

The family told me that we had to buy five or six people to go back, but the food we brought was only enough to buy three from you.

Those outside will be cheaper..."

After finishing speaking, Mu Yu was about to drag Yang Erlang to the outside, with a decisive attitude, originally thinking that he would first come to understand the market, so he didn't necessarily have to buy here.

When the guy saw that they were coming for real, he was a little anxious for a moment, lowered his voice and said quickly,
"These are also negotiable."
