Going to immortality inexplicably

Chapter 87 Buy, buy, buy slaves

Ya market is crowded and very lively.

On more than a dozen wooden platforms stood neatly rows of people waiting for a price. The slave traders were busy greeting those who came to see the slaves. Each slave trader also maintained several subordinates. In order to maintain order around his own wooden platform, there are still some idle gangsters who have nothing to do and stand aside to watch the fun and point at the people on the platform.

Although some people have been skipped by the big family, and most of the people left behind are the old, weak, sick and disabled, those idle gangs who have nothing to do still like to watch such excitement.

There were also some gangsters who mingled with the crowd to see if there was any chance to steal some money.

Fan Xiaoxiao calmed down and put aside some unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

Their purpose is very clear, which is to buy a group of skilled people, regardless of skill.

Lao Yuetou parked the beast cart, and several beast carts following him also stopped one after another. The slave trader who was nearest immediately greeted the cart drivers.

A driver pulling an animal cart is not worthy of the slave trader's fawning, but the driver does not come to buy slaves himself, the customers he pulls are the real owners who come to buy slaves.

Who knows how much money they brought and how many slaves they planned to buy. As long as the coachman just said a few words, he might be able to let people directly decide which house to look at first. And if a family has enough slaves, they can all be bought at one house. Maybe.

Therefore, rickshaw drivers like Lao Yuetou are still very popular in the tooth market.

Those who are closest to each other say hello first, and those who are a little further away immediately follow suit, each one more enthusiastic than the other.

Of course Lao Yuetou knew the thoughts of those slave traders. They didn't value themselves, but they only valued the customers he brought. To be precise, they valued the money in their pockets.

He didn't say anything, he just responded honestly to the enthusiastic slave traders one by one. He had no choice but to offend those people.

Lao Yuetou and the drivers of several beast carts stood guard next to their respective beast carts. Brother Hui jumped out of the car and led Fan Xiaoxiao and others to look at the slaves standing on the stage.

"Brother Hui, Brother Hui, long time no see. Where did you get rich recently?"

When the slave traders saw that Lao Yuetou did not guide the customers, but Brother Hui came with people, their enthusiasm immediately turned to Brother Hui and threw Lao Yuetou out of the sky.

"Brother Hui, come and take a look. I have new goods that just arrived yesterday. There are all kinds of goods."

The nearest slave trader kept greeting Brother Hui, but his eyes were fixed on Fan Xiaoxiao and his group.

Brother Gray is just a little gangster, and his most capable job is to serve as a guide for some outsiders. Those people are the real customers who are ready to buy slaves.

Tiedan and others are a little nervous. Although they have visited several shops in the past few days, they are still nervous for no reason in this tooth market that sells people.

There is also a tooth market in Taro City. Due to the inconvenient transportation of Taro Island, few outsiders are trafficked. Most of the slaves who are bought and sold are locals, just some of the lowest-level civilians who cannot live a sustainable life.

Many people can no longer survive. It is common for them to sell their children. If they have no children to sell, they will eventually sell themselves.

As for the secret plundering, it was not uncommon. If they hadn't been united by a Tiejia Village, I'm afraid many people would have become slaves.

Therefore, traveling in this tooth market will make them suppress their nervousness, even Tie Li, who usually escapes, is no exception.

The bustling tooth market is very lively. The slaves for sale are locked in iron cages to prevent them from escaping. Although it is basically impossible to escape, catching one of them will make the tooth market more chaotic.

Fan Xiaoxiao and the others were not in a hurry, they just looked at the people standing on the wooden platform quietly. Their selection criteria was that they must have at least one skill.

No matter what kind of skills you have, maybe you can’t use them now, but maybe you will be able to use them in the future?
There are very few young and middle-aged people, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are very few young girls.

Most of the young girls who are clever and handy are picked up by some big families, and the remaining ones either look a little slow or have some disabilities.

Fan Xiaoxiao's mood became heavier and heavier. She didn't care about the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. She just hoped that there would be some truly skilled people among these people.

As long as you have skills, you can train and guide others even if you are not in good health.

So, she bought twenty children. These children were both boys and girls. It was not that they had superior skills, but that they were healthy and had strong plasticity.

These children are very cheap, only one tael of silver each.

Because a big family is not willing to raise such idlers, it not only wastes food, but also teaches them skills.

The children were sent one by one to the beast cart they rented, and Fan Xiaoxiao and the others continued to select slaves.

It’s not enough to just have children, you have to have adults who are really good at crafts.

Young children are the main force of their future, but before that, they must find the right teacher for them.

However, although there are many adults left in the dental market, there are not many who are truly skilled.

I finally managed to buy five girls with sound hands and feet. When I asked them what they knew, two of them said they knew how to cook, but their cooking skills were not particularly good.

The other three girls said they knew everything and worked hard without complaining.Female beauty is an essential skill for women, just like everyone is born with the ability to eat.

Hearing such words, Tiehua quietly buried her head. She suddenly realized that she was really not a qualified woman.

The price of the five girls was 20 taels each. Fan Xiaoxiao did not counter-offer at all, just gave the money and took the girl away.

The two young men who were beaten to death were said to be prisoners who had committed serious crimes. The slave traders originally had an attitude of picking up bargains, but they did not expect that the two men wanted to escape along the way, and were beaten until they were left with only one breath left.

Looking at the two young men who didn't know how long they could live, the slave trader only asked for five taels of silver each.

It wasn't that Fan Xiaoxiao had any sympathy, but when he asked the two young men what skills they had, one said he could make jiebao and the other said he could do carpentry.

Because they communicated in a low voice, the slave trader did not hear the content, otherwise he might regret it.

Because yesterday when the big families came to select people, the two young men were silent.

Fan Xiaoxiao suppressed her excitement, let Tieshi Tieshi put the two young men on the beast cart, and then continued to visit the tooth market.

Two middle-aged women in their 30s, who were already showing obvious signs of aging, said that their men used to be blacksmiths, and they had been working nearby for a long time and had mastered the craftsmanship and skills of blacksmiths.

These two women also have five taels of silver each.

Three women in their 40s have become old women. They said that they once worked as gardeners in the homes of small nobles, but they are now older and were sold to slave traders at a low price.

Gardener is not a great skill on Kongling Island. Many big families have surplus gardeners, so this skill is not strictly controlled. No big family is willing to accept these three old women, so the slave traders sold them to them at a low price. Fan Xiaoxiao has two taels of silver per person.

An old man with a slightly disabled leg, who is actually only in his 40s, and a middle-aged man with a slightly disabled left hand. They are masons. It is said that they can use mud to build houses and stoves. Aren't these early masons?

Many people are good at this kind of masonry work, and many people build their own stoves in their homes, so the control is not very strict.

Because of his disability, the two of them had a total of six taels of silver.

A relatively good-looking young man huddled alone in a corner.

He seems to be in good health and has no disabilities. Why wasn't he chosen by the big family?

It turned out that this was a declining noble son, just a minor nobleman. Because of the sudden change in his family, he was left alone.

The slave trader thought he had picked up a treasure, but he didn't expect that your young master was good at nothing except drawing and writing. The big family bought slaves for manual labor and did not intend to raise a young master, so no one paid any attention to him.

"20 taels of silver." The slave trader held out two fingers.

"Ten taels." Fan Xiaoxiao bargained expressionlessly.

"make a deal."

The slave traders seemed to be afraid that Fan Xiaoxiao would regret it, so they immediately sent him to them.

Fan Xiaoxiao secretly pouted, a phoenix on the ground is really not as good as a chicken.

An old man with some gray hair actually whispered that he could make clothes cleaning products made of mud mixed with fish oil. Fan Xiaoxiao bought him without saying a word.

An old man with disabled legs said that his ancestors had been fishing on the beach for generations, and that fishing was nothing. Who grew up on the beach didn't know how to fish?Sunable salt is definitely a strictly controlled skill.

Of course, the old man communicated quietly with Fan Xiaoxiao alone. If the slave traders heard about it, he would definitely be sent to a family that specializes in controlling salt exposure.

And a disabled old man like him who is about to die still expects his big family to provide for him until the end of his life?

As long as he enters the door of that big family, he will never survive the next day.

Fan Xiaoxiao was a little sad. These people were actually treasures, but they were not accepted by some big families because they were old and disabled.

Big families want to control their own family business and control their skills very strictly, but they will not provide care for those who have worked hard for them all their lives, but will send them all away, even if they die. Let them die in their families.

These old people have long recognized the nature of those big families, so when the big families come to pick people, they will remain silent. They would rather wait for opportunities here than go back with those big families.

The hope of staying here is also very slim, but if you get to those big families, you might soon become fertilizer in other people's gardens.

"Please, please, can you, can you, take me away?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Several people stopped and looked at the source of the sound with some surprise.
