Going to immortality inexplicably

Chapter 86 Slave Market
Tiehua also raised her little hand.

There was no other way, everyone else had spoken, and Tiehua could only bear the huge pressure and look at her own small book to speak.

"Tiejia Village Embroidery and Clothing. Find some people with superb embroidery skills to make some beautiful clothes."

Tiehua was actually very uneasy. In the past, she liked to learn Kung Fu like a boy on Kutao Island. She did not practice the needlework that women should be proficient in at all. She felt that picking up a small embroidery needle was completely She didn't wield the soft whip happily, and although she didn't have a serious master to teach her martial arts, she loved martial arts, taught herself and secretly learned it, and finally she was able to master it a few times.

It's just that the kung fu that I have figured out by myself is not very good, and the female celebrity is terrible.

Now that it's time to put his talents into play, Tiehua realizes that he doesn't have any really good skills.

Originally she didn't dare to speak, but Brother Gray's words gave her confidence.

Yes, if you don’t have anything to do, you can find someone to do it for you.

So, she slightly changed her speech and asked someone else to do it.

Fortunately, following Fan Xiaoxiao and under the guidance of Teacher Fan, her martial arts improved greatly. She was forced to read for several months and learned a lot of words. Now she can basically understand some simple books. Compared to when she was on Taro Island, she has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Fan Xiaoxiao also gave Tiehua a thumbs up. Tiehua lowered her head shyly, but she felt happy because she received Teacher Fan's affirmation.

Because Kongling Mountain is very dangerous, Tie Dan and Tie Shi may not be able to go up the mountain to quarry stone. This makes the stone paving art they proposed unable to be adopted, and the traditional craftsmanship of Tiejia Village cannot gain a foothold on Kongling Island, which makes them a little frustrated.

The blacksmith craftsmanship of iron wire is not yet unique, so the blacksmith shop is just a proposal and cannot be implemented.

"How about we go to the slave market and see if we can buy some skilled slaves?" Tieli suggested.

Tieli was also inspired by Brother Hui's speech. He had no skills at all, but he was still good at managing slaves. The women in his family were all under his control. The slaves were all subordinates of the master. How dare he Earth-shaking?

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Many common crafts are monopolized by some big families, and many of those craftsmen are slaves of these big families. The big families will not let these people go easily.

However, not all the slaves traded in the slave market were locals. Many of them were brought from other places by slave traders, and there were also some skilled people.

Of course, slave traders have dealings with those big families. Generally, when they get slaves from other places, they will sell those who have skills to the corresponding families based on their specialties, leaving some who have no skills. People, they then sell it openly in the market.

The value of these openly sold slaves is generally not high, and most people who buy these slaves go back to work as odd jobs.

This is the situation on Taro Island. I wonder what will be different on Kongling Island?

Several people looked at Brother Hui in unison.

Brother Hui instantly understood what everyone meant and immediately stood up uneasily.

"There are slave markets in the southeast and northwest cities of Ethereal City. If you want to buy slaves, you can go and have a look."

"However, the slave market is very chaotic. Those young and middle-aged people with skills have long been reserved by some families. Most of the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. It is estimated that it will be easier to find people with skills among these people. Disaster."

Sure enough, it turned out to be similar to Taro Island.

Tiedan and others all showed almost the same expression.

"How much do you know about this Jiebao?"

Fan Xiaoxiao took out the long black Jiebao and asked everyone present.

Tiedan and others were a little confused because there was no such thing as Jiebao on Kutao Island.

"How do you clean clothes on Taro Island?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked again.

"It's very simple. We dry some silt from the river and mix it with fish oil to clean the clothes."

Tiehua replied with some uncertainty. She felt ashamed again because she had not participated in this kind of labor in the whole process and was not completely sure whether this method was true.

Sludge plus fish oil?No wonder it stinks so much!

Fan Xiaoxiao believed in this method almost immediately, otherwise why would this Jiebao smell so bad?
Tiedan and the others showed shocked expressions. They had never washed their own clothes and had no idea how the women washed their clothes, let alone how they cleaned out the stains on their clothes.

"Wouldn't the clothes stink? If not washed, they might not stink so much." Fan Xiaoxiao asked.

"I actually don't know, because I have never washed clothes by the river." Tiehua buried her head in shame, and her voice was so low that only she could hear it.

In this world where men are superior to women, women who cannot do housework will be despised by all men.

"No, as long as you wash the washed clothes in the river a few times, the smell will disappear."

Brother Hui answered on behalf of Tiehua, because he had helped his grandma with housework since he was a child, and her grandma helped others wash clothes. He was often there to help, and he knew the process very well.

The eyes of Tiedan and others all turned to Brother Hui. A man who knew a woman's work so clearly subverted their understanding.But then I thought about Brother Gray's specialness. He has no parents, only a grandmother and a sister. It is normal for him to do some women's work.

"So that's it." Fan Xiaoxiao nodded and suddenly understood some principles.

It seems that the silt plays a big role in it, so the odor of Jiebao cannot be dissipated.

However, washing it with clean water several times can speed up the dissipation of this odor.

So, is there still this kind of sludge in the soap?Or do you add other things to combine the odor, and then the odor disappears naturally?

This is a chemical reaction, and it should be true in theory, but I don't have the specific formula and can't do experiments.

It would be great if you could buy someone who knew how to make Jiebao in the slave market. With such a person, as long as you provide him with some ideas, it should be easier to solve some problems.

Alas, in those novels with built-in systems, the protagonists change their destiny with the help of an incredible system. Why don't I have such a system?
Maybe call the system and the soap will fly out on its own!
Now that we have the physical objects, let the relevant personnel study it. Is mass production still far away?

"Did you not wake up?" the old man's joking voice sounded, and Fan Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up.

"Well, let's go to the slave market tomorrow and see if we are lucky and can we buy some useful people."

So, the next day, the group hired three more beast carts and went to the nearest slave market.

It is said that recently, it is also five streets away.

The slave market is also called the tooth market. The tooth market closest to them is not the largest in Ethereal City. It is just because of its proximity that they chose this place as their first stop.

Because they often rent cars, there are already several beast carts guarding here every day. They guard wherever they are anyway, and people like Fan Xiaoxiao give money generously, and they are not as arrogant as those nobles, and those nobles are always picky. Therefore, Fan Xiaoxiao and others are more recognized by the coachmen.

Because they were already somewhat familiar with the coachmen, those coachmen also liked to chat with them all the time.

"Lao Yuetou, is there anyone good at the nearest tooth market that I can buy from?"

Lao Yuetou is the driver who pulls Fan Xiaoxiao and Tiehua. He is a middle-aged man in his 40s, but his face is covered with wrinkles and his hair has turned gray due to being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.

In Kongling Island, people over 40 years old are already senior citizens.

Lao Yuetou took Fan Xiaoxiao and the others to the inn from the first day they entered the city.

Yes, he was the first driver to pull them, and he came to pull them almost every day. Now they are already acquaintances.

"I heard that a few bosses in the tooth market have brought a batch of new goods. They were just picked out by the big families yesterday. They should be officially launched today. If you are lucky, you might be able to buy some good ones."

Ethereal City talks about slaves just like talking about a certain commodity, not like talking about people at all.

Brother Gray has been helping to make bookshelves these days, and also helping to run around. Of course, he is not as clear about some of the new information in Ethereal City as the beast cart driver.

"It seems you are really lucky to be able to make it to the first day this batch of goods is on the market."

Brother Gray, who was sitting next to the coachman, also echoed.

The beast cart rumbled forward, and because there were few people in the morning, they quickly reached their destination.

The Ya Market is actually a huge square with no stores at all. The slave traders gathered the slaves they brought together in one place, then built a one-meter-high wooden platform, and pulled the slaves to be sold on the wooden platform and lined them up. , anyone can choose.

Wait until this row of people is almost selected, then pull another row of people up.

A dozen slave traders have already set up wooden platforms in the square, and rows of slaves have been neatly arranged on those wooden platforms.

It was the first time that Fan Xiaoxiao was shocked when he saw live people being pulled onto a wooden platform and displayed like goods.

At the same time, she also felt her own powerlessness and insignificance.

The old man asked her not to meddle in mortal affairs, but she knew that even if she wanted to meddle, she would not be able to solve the real problem.

What can she do?Rescue all the people on these wooden platforms?

and then?
Did she take these people away?
How can it be?

Will there be no slave trade forever if these people are rescued?
Even if this square is destroyed, the tooth market in Ethereal City cannot be destroyed.

This is determined by a country's system. One person's strength is too insignificant when facing a country.

Tiedan and the others are ordinary people. They need to gain a foothold in Ethereal City and it is impossible for them to challenge the state machinery.
