Chapter 2 Slave House 2
Malouf knew something very clearly and his eyes became lively.
I want to advise him not to spend money frivolously, I also want to suggest him to find a job, and I even want to keep him helping in the store.
Purchasing slaves with the family separation fee is undoubtedly the stupidest choice. Only a young man who has just received a huge sum of money would do such a ridiculous thing!
But these were quickly suppressed by the thought of making money.
The store needs business, needs to sell the slaves who eat, and needs customers.
I also need money to pay off my debts.
"The slaves we have here may be a bit expensive, but the beautiful female slaves will definitely be more expensive."
Maloof wanted to know how much silver the noble boy had in his pocket. If he could know the exact number, he would definitely be able to make more money from this transaction.
Lawrence sat on the bench and said with a smile: "Of course, if you can afford it and I like it, then I will buy it. If you can't afford it, forget it."
Maloof and Lawrence quickly tested each other, and after waiting anxiously for more than twenty minutes, the door inside was gently opened.
Mai Rui quickly walked out, followed by several beautiful women wearing clothes similar to those of noble ladies.
The clothes on these women all look very nice, better than those worn by Lawrence's sisters-in-law.
Lawrence's sisters-in-law also had to work, and most of the time they wore simple clothes. Only when they were not working would they wear beautiful clothes that they could not bear to wear.
Soon Lawrence's eyes were on the first woman's chest and face.
This is a blond beauty who looks cold, quiet and noble. She is about 20 years old. Her blond hair hangs down behind her. She has a plump and fair figure. She does not look like a slave girl at all, but more like a female noble or a daughter.
Although she was in such a backward area, Lawrence was sure that this woman was more sexy and charming than any other star.
Compared with her, the female slaves in the back seemed like ordinary things.
Maloof looked at Lawrence's eyes and quickly said with a smile: "This is Helen, the earl's daughter captured from the southern kingdom. She has given birth to two children. She is definitely a top-notch product! For only two hundred silver dollars, she can It’s yours!”
Most of Lawrence's desire quickly disappeared, and his eyes returned to rationality.
He glanced at the beauty again and found that she seemed to have been used to this for a long time. She was looking at the ground quietly, as if she didn't feel anything.
"Unfortunately, I don't have that much silver. I don't think even the Earl's family will have such a large amount of money for family division."
Of course Malouf knew this and asked, "How much silver do you have?"
Lawrence was still a little reluctant to part with it. He glanced at the beauty again and quickly said in a tangled voice: "How much silver is the minimum?"
Malouf said seriously: "One hundred and twenty!"
The slave trade in the city was not controlled by the nobles, but the merchants themselves.
The nobles couldn't pay attention to everything, and they had no interest in coming to the slave center to select slaves.
Moreover, many slave merchants had their own armed forces and were responsible for selling various goods for the king and nobles.
The exact number of people in the Luofen Kingdom is unknown, but there are probably tens of thousands of people gathered here in the royal city, including slaves captured from islands, bandits, and the army, etc., who will all come here to exchange for money.
The so-called earl by the slave traders should be the lords of towns with tens of thousands of people in the south. Nobles who can have their daughters kidnapped actually do not need to worry about the other party's retaliation.
Even if it is revenge, it doesn't matter. As a barbarian, the Luofen Kingdom is not afraid of war.
Lawrence took one last look at the beauty and found that the beauty still had a calm expression.
"I can't afford this." Lawrence looked behind the beauty, "Change it, and I'll look at the rest."
Mai Rui quickly pulled the beautiful woman to the side. The second beautiful woman he pulled over like a clothes hanger was a quiet beauty who looked like a businesswoman.
"Hello, sir, I'm Ulla. You only need fifty silver dollars to buy me. I haven't given birth to a child yet, but I can wash clothes, cook, clean housework, and can do arithmetic."
Miss Wula was very proactive and said kindly to Lawrence: "My hometown has been burned down by thieves. You don't need to worry about me escaping. Besides, I am also very good at serving people. I will definitely satisfy you!"
Mai Rui added: "Ula has no strength for work, but she has a good brain and can calculate the price clearly."
Malouf said calmly: "You can take your time when doing work. You can go up with more strength."
Lawrence looked at Ulla, then quickly looked at the next one.
Although I think it's okay, the money in my pocket limits my thinking.
Maloof realized that Lawrence didn't like this Ulla, and quickly said: "The price of Ulla can be lower, what do you think of forty silver dollars?"
In fact, Ula has already been returned once, which is a second acquisition.
Although you have made a profit, if you can sell it, you can continue to make money.
The last time Ulla was sold, she was tied up and returned within two days. The owner didn't like this kind of useless woman and wanted to return the product if it caused trouble.
Lawrence said nothing and looked at the third and fourth.
"This is thirty silver er!"
"This is twenty silver er!"
After four, there was nothing else. This slave house did not seem to keep many beautiful slaves.
Such slaves, which are worthless and useless, are not easy to sell in this area.
Many barbarians do not reject anyone who comes, and they like her as much as they like, but those who are willing to spend a lot of money on beautiful women can be said to be very few, almost none.
"There's nothing I like. I like slaves that are clean and pretty, but the price shouldn't be too expensive, and it's better to be younger."
Lawrence stood up to leave. After sitting for more than an hour, he gradually calmed down.
Take one last look at the beautiful woman named Helen. From now on, you can only have this kind of slave girl in your dreams.
Malouf was a little anxious, and quickly thought of something, and said quickly: "Please wait, there is another slave!"
After hearing this, Lawrence stood where he was and asked directly: "How many coppers?"
Malouf said directly: "Fifty copper ru will be enough!"
Coppers are used as the unit for low prices. Just like when calculating one's salary, some people like to say how many K, some say how many yuan, and still others say how many thousands.
Lawrence did some calculations and found that fifty copper er was about 6 to 7 silver er.
One silver er can stay in a hotel in the city for a month, and fourteen silver er is equivalent to a year's food and lodging expenses.
From a slave's perspective, the money Lawrence received was a huge sum.
But looking at it from the perspective of an aristocrat, the money earned by working for more than ten years is really not worthy of the efforts made over the years.
"Let's see, it's still a bit expensive." Lawrence had plenty of time and wanted to take a few more glances at Helen.
Maloof quickly asked his daughter to bring someone, and within a few minutes he brought a quiet blond girl.
The girl looked to be in her teens, with striking long blond hair tied into a ponytail suitable for work. However, she was thin and looked thin and nervous. Her eyes looked at the busty beauty nearby from time to time.
Malouf said directly: "This is Sophia. Although she has lost some weight, she has no problem with her work. She has been very obedient since we captured her and has never escaped."
Lawrence was not surprised. If Maloof could open this store, he must be someone trusted by the hunting team, and he was more likely to be a member of it.
"What do you think of her?" Maloof asked Lawrence for his opinion.
After thinking for a while, Lawrence nodded quickly and said: "Yes, but the price will be lower. I don't have such good living conditions for her to grow up slowly. She will definitely not have as good food as here, nor can she afford beautiful clothes. Clothes will get dirty quickly, and fifty copper er is too expensive."
Maloof felt that what Lawrence said was right, and he was not a fool, so he recommended: "Then you can buy Ulla. Ulla is very sensible and her body has matured. You can buy her clothes for twenty Yin'er will sell it to you!"
Lawrence did not have twenty pieces of silver.
He didn't want to say that he had no money, so he said to Sophia:
"Buying directly is already the best thing, but it is meaningless, because appearance and status lead to value far beyond its own value. As long as you have a discernment and select things with potential from unknown and cheap goods, I think this That’s the future that matches me.”
"I'm optimistic about her. I can buy her future for fifty copper rupees!"
Maloof saw that Lawrence was willing to spend money on such a young girl, so he could only sell it to him.
This Sophia was arrested together with Helen. Malouf discovered that Helen often took care of this girl, as if she was related to her.
But he didn't care about what was going on here.
Originally, I didn't want to sell Sophia before selling Helen, but now that I'm short of money, I naturally sell whatever I have.
No matter how obedient Helen is, she is still a slave, and she is the slave owner.
Soon it was time to pay, and Lawrence exchanged silver for copper.
Maloof quickly sold the little girl Sophia, and Helen quietly returned to prison without any objections from beginning to end.
