Bai Kui was referring to two middle-aged men who looked relatively strong. Although their bodies looked good, they had been rubbed for a long time and their spirits were very low. Their eyes were dull.
Hearing Old Yutou's quotation, he frowned and tried to back out, "Sixty taels for the two of us together? Old Yutou, this is my first time helping you with your business. If the actual price you give me is this price, , then we have nothing to talk about, you can keep those two people, I can’t go to any dental shop to pick two powerful young people for sixty taels."
It's not easy to do business with humans and animals. There are many people watching the excitement around, but very few people actually pay for them.
Seeing that the soon-to-be-negotiated deal was about to be gone, Old Yutou smiled and said, "Boss Bai doesn't know something. If you go shopping outside, there will definitely be cheaper ones, but what you want is something that can be beaten and carried. Then I dare you." You can't find someone more suitable than what I have here. Both of them have real skills. They don't have a hundred taels to talk about outside! Bring them back and raise them for three to five days, and they'll be full of energy immediately. It’s not a problem to do chores in the home care home, just keep it for you and save your worries! If you really want to buy it, I’ll give you an extra five taels of silver! It’s the lowest price!”
Bai Kui pretended to hesitate, looking back and forth at the human sacrifices for sale on the shelf. After a while, he reluctantly nodded his chin towards the embarrassed little girl tied in the middle, "In this case, I will give you sixty taels. How about taking that one with you?"
"Hey, I'm not doing business like this. I know you for five taels, but you're planning on sacrificing my life worth a hundred taels of silver. Boss Bai, you're not sincere, aren't you?" The corners of Old Yutou's mouth twitched, and he suddenly lost his voice. Interested in continuing the conversation, he picked up the gavel and prepared to continue beating the gong.
Bai Kui calmly stretched out his sleeves and chuckled, "It's worth a hundred taels of silver? Just her? Bai's eyesight is still there. That girl is a fiery person. The injuries on her body are from resistance, right? Otherwise, she can't be gagged and bound." On the stage. Look at the fierce look on her face. If she really sells it and hurts the customer, according to the rules of the black market, I'm afraid you will have to lose everything, old fish head. Okay, you can keep it. When I wait for a hundred taels of silver, I'll go look elsewhere."
Old Fish Head, "..." The mallet was frozen there and couldn't knock it down.
The black market has black market rules, one of which is that if the customer is not satisfied with the goods sold here, they can take them and return them within the specified time limit.
The human animals here will be tamed before being put on the stage. Only after they are tamed can they be dared to be sold, but there are some who cannot be tamed no matter what.
The girl on the stage is the untamable master.
He has taken out food three times, and each time it was sold and returned on the same day.
It's okay to just return the product, but the biggest fear is that she will injure the customer. Not only will he, the seller, have to refund the product, but he will also have to pay for the customer's medical expenses out of his own pocket.
"Eighty taels for three people! If you want, take it away and let me earn some money for running errands!" He gritted his teeth and said cruelly.
The man who had walked a few steps away turned back with a slight smile on his lips and said calmly, "Deal."
…
When leaving the black market, according to the rules, the group was sent out blindfolded.
At the intersection leading to the nearby town, the cloth belt covering his eyes was taken off.
Bai Kui handed over the two newly bought porters to his men, and then led the silent girl to find an inn in the town. He asked the waiter to help him buy a clean girl's dress and prepare hot water for the girl to put in. Take care of it yourself.
The inns in the small town are small and old, and the wooden boards on the floor have a sense of age.
The wooden barrel in the middle of the guest room has been filled with hot water, and at the end of October in the chilly autumn weather, it is slowly spreading to a scalding temperature.
The door was closed and bolted.
Feng Lin took off his sloppy clothes, got into the barrel, and sank himself into the hot water. It took a long time for him to surface. His peach blossom eyes opened and turned red.
There are water droplets rolling down from the eye sockets and eyelashes.
She stayed in the room for half a day. When she walked out of the room, the water in the barrel had already turned cold.
After leaving the room, she turned into the next door. The man was wearing a black brocade robe and sitting at the table. He had broad shoulders and narrow waist, a tall figure, and a strong face with a calm expression, just like when they first met.
It seems so close, but in reality everything is measured.
"Let's eat. The food just served by the store is hot." The man glanced at her and motioned for her to sit over.
Several dishes were placed on the table, and they were indeed still hot and steaming.
Feng Lin pursed his lips and went over, sat down opposite the man, took chopsticks and ate quietly.
"Thank you." She lowered her eyebrows and opened her lips, her voice slightly hoarse, "I thought you didn't intend to save me."
Bai Kui glanced at her slightly red and swollen eyes, without saying anything more, "I will pay more than a hundred taels to buy you directly. Businessmen in the black market will talk nonsense when they see others. If the old fish head sees that I want to buy you, he will The price will go up a lot, so it's not cost-effective. I just happen to want to buy a helper, so it's just a coincidence to help you, just for the sake of meeting me by chance."
"..." Feng Lin raised his eyes, and there was a little life in his gray eyes, "Even if you buy it directly, I won't lose anything. I will pay back the money."
"Sorry, this is my habit. In business, I pay only when it is reasonable."
"..." The grievances accumulated in his stomach while taking a bath were instantly expelled, and Feng Lin wolfed down his rice bowl.
The food in the inn is not exquisite, just ordinary home-cooked food.
But Feng Lin felt that the taste was indescribably good. She had not had a good meal for many days.
She will never forget this experience in Lingdong. "When I go back, I will take advantage of that black market!"
Bai Kui smiled and did not comment on her words.
The little girl has too little experience, but she has the ability to take down the black market. Does she know where the black market is?
He bet that she couldn't find it even if she dug three feet into the ground.
While the little girl was having dinner, Bai Kui counted the time and found that he had spent most of the day. According to the planned itinerary, he should have been on his way to Boilai at this time.
"I have already paid the room fee. You can rest here for one night. There is a carriage and horse racing station in the town. After you have slept well, you can rent a carriage and go home tomorrow. Little girl, don't wander outside alone. I will follow you. As I said, there are a lot of bad people out there." Bai Kui took out a piece of silver from the wallet at his waist and put it on the table, then stood up and prepared to leave.
As soon as I lifted my feet, my sleeve was grabbed by the little girl, "Where are you going?"
"Of course we're going to do business." It's already a matter of friendship when we meet by chance to meddle in other people's affairs. Do we still want to stay and play house with her?
He, Bai Kui, is not that free.
"Where to do business?" The little girl asked tightly without letting go.
"Imported."
"It's not safe for me to travel alone, so let's go with you, and I'll go abroad too!"
Bai Kui turned around and narrowed his eyes.
Remember to eat but not to fight?
Does he look like a good guy?
