Chapter 330 Determined to Win
The two went out from the back door and came to the street.
The crowd was bustling, and most of the women on the street wore heavy makeup, which could still be vaguely seen even under a layer of colorful gauze.
"If you're walking by, don't miss it. This is the place where Aquarius slave girls are bought and sold. Dear guests, if you've come to our Cloud City, are you interested in taking an Aquarius slave girl home to warm your bed? Aquarius slave girls are capable of both housework and housework, and their charm in bed is extremely captivating. They can't be compared to those boring women in your homes..."
The crowd laughed.
"Among this batch of goods, there's also a noblewoman from Aquarius. She's absolutely worth the money. She's stunningly beautiful, hot-tempered, and slender. Come and take a look, come and choose. The price isn't expensive, just the price of a snail. Gentlemen, even if you have to pay a little between your fingernails, you can still afford her..."
There were three layers of people surrounding this place, which was quite a lot.
He squeezed forward to the west and also helped Liao Jiu squeeze out a spot.
Both of them are tall and skilled in martial arts, so it is no problem for them to get a good position.
I saw a sexy scene right in front of me.
Many women sat half-naked on the platform, all dressed like women from Aquarius, with colorful veils and bright clothes, with parts deliberately cut off, exposing either their thighs or their arms.
Some of the women looked frightened, while others smiled ingratiatingly at the men who were watching.
This is a place where people are traded. The status of women in Aquarius is extremely low. They can be bought and sold at will like livestock. Especially those Aquarius women who are slaves, sometimes they are not even worth as much as a livestock.
The birth rate of women in Aquarius has always been higher than that of men. Da'an still has a system of three wives and four concubines. Regardless of whether they are wives or concubines, they all follow the man who is the head of the family. There are many women in Aquarius, and both wives and concubines can be bought and sold, and treated as family property. If you have money, you can buy a wife to warm your bed. If you have no money, you can sell your wife to eat. It is a common practice.
Therefore, in Aquarius, the sale of women is legal and prevalent.
Neighboring countries also often transport women from Aquarius to be traded.
The boss who was hawking his wares was a squinting-eyed man, and he had a few younger brothers standing around watching over the women on the stage.
The squinting man saw the new faces of Liao Jiu and the other man and greeted them warmly, "These two gentlemen look very handsome. Do you want to buy a female slave from Aquarius Country to warm your bed or serve as a maid? It would be very convenient..."
Liao Jiu remained calm.
Xiangxi looked like someone who had seen a lot of things. "We just came here to watch the fun. We didn't bring enough money, and the wives at home are very fierce."
The people around laughed.
Everyone seemed to understand and agree with it.
The slanted-eyed man continued to laugh, "From what I heard from you, I knew you were joking. If you're being ruthless, you have to use ruthless methods. Leave it outside and play with it for a few months. When you're done playing with it, you can sell it off without anyone noticing..."
"What's the point? Why should I spend money to buy it? I go to the brothel every day. There are many Aquarius women in the brothels here. I can get something new every day." Xiangxi replied casually.
The slanted-eyed man chuckled, "My dear, how can it be the same? The women in the brothels are ridden by thousands or tens of thousands of people. How can they be as clean and neat as the ones you buy yourself? You can even let her bear a child for you. Besides, if you buy her, she will be a property and can be resold. Going to the brothel a few times will make the money go down the drain, right?"
Although Xiangxi and Liao Jiu were not convinced, it aroused the interest of other people around.
"Boss, what are the prices today? The prices are right. I'd like to buy one or two to take home and try them out. By the way, can I try them out today?" It was obvious that he was a regular customer.
The slanted-eyed man went to greet the other guests. "The price is determined by status and beauty. The cheapest is ten taels of silver, and the most expensive is no more than a hundred taels. There will also be a trial period. The same old rules apply. If you like something, you pay half of the deposit first, and then you can try it out as you please behind the curtain behind the stage. If you are not satisfied with the trial, half of the deposit will be refunded..."
"Okay! I've got my eye on that yellow-haired girl, yes, the one with the birthmark on her arm..."
"Master, this is a little girl. Twenty taels of silver. If you pay half of it as a deposit, she will be yours."
Suddenly, people started to make a fuss.
It's just a layer of curtain between us, and it's barely visible. What's the difference between that and doing it in public?
Many people were so excited about it that they even borrowed money to pick people.
Some of the women on the stage were afraid, while others had already accepted their fate and were trying to find a good buyer by flirting with the well-dressed and kind-looking men among the crowd of men in the audience.
In an instant, several men brought women into the backstage to do things, and all kinds of obscene sounds and words were heard one after another.
This will lead to better business ahead.
There were dozens of women on the stage, and in a short while, only a few were left.
Suddenly, a few more men joined the crowd and pointed at an old, disheveled woman working as a handyman at the side of the stage. They said, "Boss, how much is this? I want it."
The squinting man said, "This is a mute handyman, and he's quite old. If you want it, five taels of silver... I'll give it to you."
This woman was a beggar woman he accidentally caught on the street. She was old and mute, so she couldn't be sold for much money. Fortunately, she was hardworking and could work, so he kept her.
The odd job woman became anxious and murmured and gestured, saying that she didn't want to be sold and would do the work.
The squinting man thought, "Five taels is too cheap. Ten taels, if someone knows how to work, I can buy him back to take care of the elderly and children. He'll be a good hand..."
The visitor did not bargain and just said, "Okay." The implication was that he did not care about the price at all and was determined to get it.
Liao Jiu nudged Xiangxi's elbow and said, "Take it, no matter how much money it is."
Xiangxi widened his eyes. The master didn't like those gorgeous girls on the stage just now, so how could he be interested in this old woman who did odd jobs?
Do you still want to compete with others?
He only dared to complain in his heart, and quickly said, "I want to buy her for twenty taels."
The squinting man suddenly perked up. Hey, a random old beggar woman caught on the street is so valuable? Could it be that he was wrong? Is there something special about her? Well, her figure seems to be okay...
"I'll offer thirty taels." The buyer also looked at Liao Jiu and the others.
They were in disguise at this time, so no one could recognize them. So, Xiangxi said again, "Fifty taels."
The buyers looked at him coldly, "One hundred taels."
"One hundred and ten taels!"
Xiangxi just needs to raise the price. How can he let his master fail to get the person he wants to buy?
