Nongmen Space: I pampered the first assistant villain

Chapter 48 Market
This was Xia Xiaoqiao's first visit to an ancient market.

Both sides of the road are full of goods, and the yelling is constant.

There are car fish sellers, and the tails are neatly arranged on the car, and the sunlight reflects a little bit of shimmer.

Please choose by yourself.

Not far away, there are wooden barrels filled with water, and there are fish jumping in the water.

Just heard a clatter——

"Hey, my fish!"

A big carp weighing five to six kilograms kept jumping up with its tail on the road, causing people around to burst into laughter after exclaiming.

"Your fish is not bad, it's fresh enough."

"Boss, give me one."

Soon someone paid the money, and then the merchant sent buckets of live fish to various houses.

In addition, there are shops selling breakfast and game, which are really lively and have an antique atmosphere.

"Call-"

With the sound of Lu Dashan falling, Yaxing is close at hand.

"Cough, brother and sister, here we are."

Xia Xiaoqiao nodded. This dental shop has a good face, the yard is clean, and there are quite a lot of people coming and going.

Because the tooth shop not only does the business of buying and selling slaves, but also acts as an intermediary for later generations.

Like renting a house, renting a shop or something, and doing dental work.

"Yo, so she's a talented lady?"

After seeing Lu Jingyuan's famous post, the people in the tooth shop had a good attitude, "I don't know what kind of girl the lady scholar wants to buy? I'm not an old lady, I'll blow it off. The girls under our hands are all very agile and diligent. Know how to serve people, let’s say Zhou Juren who goes out in our town, the girl he serves personally is from us.”

When she said this, Xia Xiaoqiao looked uncomfortable.

What does it mean to be able to serve others?

And Zhou Juren, could it be Zhou Mingzhu's father?

Still serving personally?
Well, you don't have to think about it to know what's going on.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoqiao didn't speak, the matchmaker thought she was embarrassed, and when she was about to speak, she was blocked by Lu Dashan.

"Ma'am, we're not here to buy girls today."

"Ah? Then what do you buy? Buy a nursing home?"

Seeing that she wasn't here to buy a girl, the matchmaker obviously wasn't as enthusiastic as before.

This town of Ququan is not big, so naturally there are not many officials and famous people. The nobles who can order servants must be students with famous names if they are not officials. People, civilians are not allowed to order slaves, nor take concubines.

This is the reason why so many people want to get fame even if they have a sharp head.

"Neither,"

After Lu Dashan finished speaking, the toothmaid looked puzzled and said: "You don't buy girls, and you don't buy housekeepers, so what do you buy?"

"Are there any tea farmers here who know how to grow tea?"

As soon as Xia Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the matchmaker's eyes widened instantly, "Tea farmer?"

"Hey, my talented lady, what kind of place are we here? There is no tea garden in a hundred miles. Where did the tea farmers come from? No, you should go look elsewhere."

Until the two of them went out of the dental clinic, the prostitute still made complaints about it with an unhappy face.

"It's really unlucky to buy tea farmers this early in the morning, isn't it crazy?"

Lu Dashan's face darkened in anger, "You man"

"Okay, cousin Dashan, what are you fussing about with her?"

Xia Xiaoqiao frowned and said: "When I came here, cough cough, my husband told me when I came here that I was here to try my luck, so forget it, is there any other place besides here?"

Lu Dashan pondered for a while and said: "Yes, there is, that is—"

"how?"

Lu Dashan said with some hesitation: "The brothers and sisters should not go to that place—"

Obviously not a good place.

But Xia Xiaoqiao had never seen anything in the world, so she said firmly, "Go."

Lu Dashan had no choice but to drive Xia Xiaoqiao away in an ox cart.

However, An Nai couldn't help but asked curiously, "Sister and brother, you said that it is really okay to grow tea in the mountains?"

"What's wrong, no matter the climate or conditions, it is especially suitable for growing tea, not suitable for growing food at all. Besides, tea is a cash crop, and the tax imposed by the court is only three points, which is more profitable than food. You I often walk outside, don’t you know the price of tea?”

Xia Xiaoqiao had done all these homework when she was at home, so it was clear to say at the moment.

"Of course I know, but my grandfather said that selling private tea is a serious crime."

Lu Dashan was very distressed, but Xia Xiaoqiao sighed helplessly: "What is the old calendar? Now the court has issued a new regulation. Merchants can only sell tea after getting tea from the government, and we are Tea farmers, just need to register and wait for the tea merchants to come to collect the tea. Why do you need to sell it yourself? If you don’t believe me, go ask Lu Jingyuan?”

This is what Lu Jingyuan told her personally last night.

No wonder the old man Lizheng said so much, but he didn't say a word, he just advised people to drink tea, hum, insidious.

And when Lu Dashan heard that Lu Jingyuan said it himself, he believed it instantly.

There is no way, as the only scholar in the village who has been admitted as a scholar, everyone has natural confidence in him.

Not only that, Lu Dashan is also a quick-witted person, and he is already thinking about whether his fifty acres of mountain land can grow tea.

However, finding tea growers is the most urgent task.

Now he was even more anxious than Xia Xiaoqiao.

Soon the city will arrive.

Compared with the bustling scene of the vegetable market before, this place is obviously much deserted.

Looking around, the eyes are full of desolation.

Many people were kneeling on the ground, some were tied by ropes, some were in ragged clothes, and some were locked in cages.

There are adults and children, old people and women.

Their eyes were dull and lifeless, while the eyes of the people in the cage were like beasts, eager to kill them.

Lu Dashan usually dare not come here, and now he is even more frightened.

"Siblings, how about—"

Before he could finish speaking, a man with scars all over came over, "Hey, little lady, what do you want to buy?"

"We can buy whatever we want? Don't we need to look at our status?"

"Hey, those who can be used as servants naturally have status, otherwise, if you buy it back, you will be caught and it's none of my business?"

Xia Xiaoqiao glanced at him expressionlessly, "Are these people willing to be slaves?"

"Hey, look at what the little lady said, if you can live well, who wants to be a slave, isn't there no way?"

The scarred man stepped on the stool, played with the dagger while continuing to smile and said: "Then, the girl over there, her parents are dead, she voluntarily sold her body to bury her parents, and the whole family over there, The family was hit by a disaster, and they fled all the way to famine, and in the end there was nothing to do. The whole family sold themselves for a bite to eat, and there, the original owner’s family committed a crime.”

It is rare for a man with a scar to meet a girl who is fearless like Xia Xiaoqiao, so he introduced her to her patiently, and finally said with a smile: "I, Wang Lao Wu, is a serious businessman. don't-"

"Don't worry, everything that comes out of my hands is clean and clean—"
