Chapter 1768 I don’t know what to do

Looking at the situation in the center of the venue, everyone in the room had different expressions.

The girls had obviously seen what was happening before them and looked unsurprised; Gregory's eyes were wide open and his mouth was almost drooling.

Xiao Peng and Kaxin did not look happy at all, and were even shocked.

No wonder they were checked for communication devices and guns as soon as they came in - the scene in front of them was too shocking: a man dragged a woman with a rope to the center of the boxing ring, the woman's hands were tied together with a rope, and there were shackles between her feet, but she was naked!

The woman in the room explained to Xiao Peng, "This is also the marketing tactic here: only one woman comes out at a time, and no one knows what kind of woman will appear next, so each one can be sold at a high price. Come, let me toast you a glass. You're lucky to come here. I heard there are quite a few good goods this time. Even if you don't buy, you can still take a look. It turns out there were men for sale! But they're gone now. It's a pity, because back then they only sold young men."

Kasim asked, "Why are there no men?"

The girl next to him replied, "A Nenets tribe in Tambey bought a man, but that guy massacred the entire village that night. Since then, there have been no men for sale."

After hearing this, Kasim frowned and said, "Why haven't I seen news reports about such things?"

After hearing this, the girls burst into laughter. "Where is this? Vorkuta! A place 99.9999% of Russians won't visit! If you go to Moscow now, I'm afraid more than half of the people there haven't even heard of us. We have our own rules of survival here. Just like it's shown above!"

Xiao Peng listened to their conversation, his eyes fixed on the venue. The girl tied up with ropes was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her development hadn't even fully developed.

It wasn't until I arrived in Russia that I realized the girls there weren't all "big breasts" as people say online. In fact, according to Xiao Peng's observations, most Russian girls are probably B cup or smaller. This percentage is especially high in Siberia... A person's body shape is directly related to their nutritional status.

How many fat people were there in China when it was poor in the early years?

The bidding on the spot was not fierce. Even though the host was shouting out the prices eloquently, in the end a Nenets man bid for 40 kilograms of antlers and no one else bid.

At the auction, one kilogram of deer antlers was discounted by 500 rubles, which meant the girl only got 20,000 rubles? That's less than 1,800 yuan and 250 euros?

Isn't this too cheap? Selling a living person like pork is about the same price, right?

Gregory explained, "Actually, this 'bride market' is mainly to build relationships with the Nenets. They have a lot of valuable goods, but the Nenets here are very xenophobic and don't want to do business with Russians. So we use this method to attract the Nenets to come and do business with them. The Nenets do have goods."

Xiao Peng agrees with this statement.

Although the nomadic Nenets people live a primitive life, they are really rich!

Just like those herdsmen in Inner Mongolia who raise thousands of cattle and sheep, do you dare to say that they have no money?

Reindeer meat is not expensive, costing only 200 rubles per kilogram, or about 7 or 8 yuan per catty. A single reindeer can fetch at least 100 to 200 kilograms of meat. By this calculation, reindeer meat is not expensive at all, costing only about 10,000 to 20,000 rubles.

Therefore, the Nenets people do not kill deer to sell meat. Basically, they only kill deer to entertain guests or during festivals. Moreover, if they kill deer, they will only kill those weak and infertile female deer. They can only kill a few in a year. They really do not make money from selling deer meat.

They sell furs from other wild animals, such as wolf skins, sables, etc. Their deerskins are basically accumulated by themselves.

Their main valuable possession is their antlers.

Reindeer are one of the two most unique species of deer: musk deer, which lack antlers of either sex, and reindeer, which have antlers of both sexes. The remaining antlers, over 40 species of deer, are only male. Reindeer antlers, which shed in winter and regrow in spring, are the Nenets people's greatest treasure.

Deer antlers are not worth much at the auction house, but if you sell them outside, you can sell them for at least several thousand rubles per kilogram!

Ahem, this means Santa Claus doesn’t exist—because reindeer during Christmas don’t have horns.

Gregory said, "It used to be difficult for us Vorkutans to get deer antlers, venison, and milk from the Nenets. But since the 'Bride Market' came into being, we can now trade with the Nenets, and we can make some money from the venison and milk business. Now, life is better for us in Vorkuta. As a Vorkutan, I'm truly grateful for this 'Bride Market.' They say our lives will improve with the expansion of Sabetta Port, but who knows? For now, we still rely on the Nenets and the Bride Market."

One of the girls said, "Xiao, Kashin, I know you foreigners here might feel uncomfortable. After all, you came here from so-called 'civilized society,' but please believe us, the tens of thousands of Vorkutans who remain here truly owe a debt of gratitude to the 'Bride Market.' Many outsiders have seen the Bride Market and expressed dissatisfaction, but nothing has happened so far. The reason is that if someone truly disrupted the Bride Market, they would be acting against all of Vorkuta."

She said this to explain to Xiao Peng and Ka Xin, and also to warn them not to do anything extreme or irrational.

After hearing this, Xiao Peng fell into deep thought: I'm afraid what this girl said is not groundless.

Such an obviously criminal act has been going on here for so long, and yet the police are unaware of it? Isn't the police chief here too? I'm afraid it's true, as the girl said: this is something that everyone in Vorkuta supports. If this thing gets messed up, it could really turn into a situation where the entire city is at odds with it.

Kasim reacted quickly. He asked Gregory, "Why is this girl so cheap?"

Gregory said, "This girl is too thin! According to Nenets custom, women with big buttocks who are able to bear children and work can be sold at a high price."

Kasin asked again: "Then why are there so many skinny girls here? Wouldn't it be enough to sell fat girls?"

Gregory explained, "This is for the wealthy locals here. But this girl is too plain looking, so no one is bidding on her. I'm afraid those people are waiting for the better ones later."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng looked at the girl on the ring. She was not ugly!

Ka Xin glanced at Xiao Peng and said, "Boss, what should we do?"

This really stumped Xiao Peng - he didn't know what to do!
