"This order costs forty-one gold coins; we have to deliver it to your door!"
The capable woman next to him was tidying up her stall. She peeked out from behind the curtain, saw her sleeping daughter, felt relieved, and then turned to look at the man.
"Are you trying to scam me into doing work for free again without paying me? Don't forget what happened to your brother last time!"
The man glanced around, pulled the woman behind the curtain, and took the money bag.
"Look, those eleven Imperial Gold Coins were a deposit they paid!"
The woman opened the bag, took out a gold coin, and examined it closely.
Exquisitely crafted, featuring the emperor's portrait, it is indeed a genuine imperial gold coin.
The woman asked again in a low voice, "Is it really a forty-one gold coin order?"
"Of course it's true! We'll earn over a dozen gold coins after this shipment, and with our savings, we can buy zero-pollution amplification food in the main city. Then our daughter will be saved!"
They couldn't restore their daughter's wings with medicine, nor could they use the treatment pod, so they could only rely on zero-contamination food that increased her life points.
The woman wiped away her tears. Finally, her daughter was saved!
The man hugged his wife and patted her on the back.
"Don't cry, don't cry. If we treat this big client well, they might come to us for everything they need in the future! So let's pack up and get this done as soon as possible."
[Medicine < Treatment Chamber < Food with 0% Contamination]
The itinerant vendor and his partner quickly packed up their stall; the man carried the goods, and the woman carried their daughter on her back.
"I told you earlier, was it really necessary to go through all this trouble to buy a storage button? A small one would have been fine! Look at you now, carrying all these bags, it's so inconvenient."
The man chuckled, "Space buttons are so expensive, we'll save every penny we can for our little girl!"
Meanwhile, the noble lord continues his stroll through the streets.
She soon arrived at her second location of the day, the slave market.
There is a slave trade in the wasteland, and the lord is planning to buy some specialized personnel. She has a big project to do... such as... heating the houses with heated brick beds. In addition, there must be hot water in the territory during the winter, so she plans to renovate the bathhouse and the hot water facilities in the territory.
All slaves were required to have a skill.
Upon entering the slave market, one is immediately struck by the stench. Orcs are confined in iron cages, where they eat, drink, and relieve themselves, and each person exudes a numb expression.
Qin Yiyi held a fan to cover her nose. The slave trader who entered immediately came forward to greet her when he saw her clothes and the guards accompanying her.
"This way, Miss! How could those filthy slaves possibly win your favor!"
The slave trader opened a mechanism, revealing a staircase to the second floor. Qin Yiyi stepped up and found the second floor to be much cleaner. Although the orcs locked in cages were still emaciated, they were all clean, and there was no dirt inside the cages. They must have been kept here for display during the day and locked in individual slave rooms at night.
She had heard Sid say that slaves had no human rights.
"I need slaves with skills."
The slave trader glanced at the two tall guards behind Qin Yiyi and gave a knowing smile.
"What kind of skill does Miss require? Do you want a man, a woman, or both?" The slave trader beckoned people to lead over a group of muscular orcs with exposed upper bodies, and then brought over a group of women dressed in transparent gauze.
Sid coughed, but Kraken wasn't interested at all.
Ah~ I really want to go back and eat right now!
[Yiyi said she's going to make something delicious, I'm so excited! I wonder what kind of delicious food she'll make!]
Hearing Sid's cough and looking at the men and women in front of her, Qin Yiyi clenched her fists and her face turned red.
My Lord!
My lord likes it so much!
Hehehehe~
She admired it for a moment, then swallowed hard.
Seeing Qin Yiyi's expression, the slave trader smiled and said, "They are all specially trained, and each one only costs 100 gold!"
Qin Yiyi: "I'm talking about artisans. What nonsense are you spouting? Do you even want to do business anymore?"
Her face showed a mixture of anger and rage. One hundred gold coins per person was equivalent to the price of a house! Ten people would be a thousand gold coins, and she would have to sell countless seaweed rice rolls!
hateful!
The market premium is too high! Look at those pecs, that's the quality! Maybe she could save up and buy a few more with better value later? She doesn't do anything; her main selling point is that they're pleasing to the eye!
The slave traders quickly waved their hands to replace this group of people, and then brought in another group.
A woman with a child was pulled to the front.
The slave trader frowned: "Why didn't you separate the children? How could a wretched child have any skills? Take him out!"
The woman held the child tightly.
"I will never be separated from my daughter, please! I will do anything you ask me as long as I am not separated from my daughter. I can work twenty hours a day!"
The slave trader chuckled: "These days, most laborers in the territories work twenty hours a day just to earn a bite to eat. You're carrying a child who can't do anything. Look at how little he is. I think your child is only three years old, right?"
"They are born with good looks, but they need to be raised for ten years before they can be sold. With food so precious these days, people would be grateful if they were willing to raise them for about five years."
"Separate the mother and daughter; don't delay our distinguished guests!"
The thugs who came from the scene came over and dragged people away.
Qin Yiyi lifted her skirt and walked in front of the woman.
"If I want to live with my daughter and not be separated, there has to be some value to it, right?"
She looked at the woman; she was quite pretty, with delicate skin. Even in such an environment, the woman kept her and her child's fingernails clean, and... her clothes and hair were much cleaner than those of ordinary slaves.
A woman who can remain neat and tidy even in such an environment.
The woman glanced at Qin Yiyi, who was dressed in a black dress and high heels, looking incredibly elegant for this era. She also wore a veil and a black hat, and had lace gloves on her hands.
Rich and wealthy.
Most importantly, she's a young woman, not one of those stinky men.
She immediately kowtowed to Qin Yiyi.
"I know tailoring, embroidery, and needlework. These are skills passed down from my ancestors. If you are willing to have me and my daughter, I am willing to give you all my skills and obey your orders. The clothes I make are very beautiful. The ladies of noble families in the Chaotic Territory all wear my clothes."
She could sit and dress for the ladies of wealthy families.
In the end, he ended up like this, and the culprit is probably still that face.
Qin Yiyi didn't even lift her eyes, speaking lazily.
"It's hard to find clothes that fit, so I'll just treat this as a gift so I can make clothes whenever I want. How much is this bundle of one big and one small?"
