The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

Chapter 3: Filling the belly makes you happy. Limited funds make it difficult to choose slaves.

The boy rubbed his chin, thought about it seriously, and snapped his fingers: "Ah, what a coincidence! There is an auction at Xishikou today." He looked at the sky and said, "It started around the end of the month, so hurry up now Go, it’s too late!”

After leaving the pawn shop, Duan Qingqiu searched around without saying anything. When he found the white smoke on the opposite street, he immediately smiled, cheered up, grabbed a pair of younger siblings and went straight to the stall.

The three of them stood in front of the cauldron. Duan Qingdong held his growling stomach and repeatedly sighed, "It smells so good." Duan Qingxia also swallowed quietly.

There is no need to be hungry or greedy. It is just a habit of being patient, and over time, greed will disappear.

While the stall owner was busy, he greeted: "The wontons made by the little old man are very fragrant. They are full of fillings and thin in skin. They are guaranteed to be delicious. How many bowls would you like, sir?"

"How to sell it?"

"The big bowl costs eight cents, the small bowl costs six cents."

Duan Qingqiu said happily: "Okay, here are three bowls..."

"Sister! Even if you have money, you can't spend it randomly." Xiaoxia stamped her feet and gritted her teeth, "If you really have to spend it, I, I... don't like eating wontons, so just buy two bowls."

"Eat with confidence." She patted her sister's shoulder and said to the stall owner, "Here are three bowls, the big one!"

Only when you are full can you have the strength to work. With Dr. Duan's golden mind, how can she still starve to death?

"Okay! Three big bowls of fresh meat wontons——"

It's really a big bowl. The fat little wontons are squeezed one by one, floating in the clear white soup, constantly exuding aroma, plus chopped green onion, shrimp and other ingredients. Just looking at it makes me salivate. For those who haven't seen the meaty taste in a long time For people, it is simply a top-notch meal!

While the second sister was still in a daze, the younger brother couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and took a big sip, then spit it out, fanned the tip of his red tongue and shouted: "It's so hot, so hot!"

Duan Qingqiu quickly asked the stall owner for a bowl of cold water and asked Xiaodong to soak his tongue in it. After the heat dissipated, he observed for a while and said, "Fortunately, there is no blistering."

Otherwise, without ice, vitamin C or vitamin B2, my silly brother may be in pain for several days.

Then, he asked for an empty bowl, scooped five or six into it, and placed it in front of Xiaodong: "Eat it."

After doing all this, she slowly began to enjoy the bowl in front of her. Just after she swallowed one, she felt the focused eyes next to her. She turned around and saw that her second sister was staring at her blankly.

"what happened?"

Duan Qingxia shook her head: "No..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but my sister seems... a little different.

Duan Qingqiu shrugged his shoulders. After eating two or three wontons, he smacked his lips and felt that there was not enough flavor. The wontons were indeed genuine, but they were too bland. There were no other condiments except a little saltiness.

"Uncle," she said sweetly, "Do you have any spicy food?"

"What the hell?" The stall owner poked his head out of the white mist, "What the hell?"

"The hot peppers are red and pungent. If you taste it directly, it will tingle from the tip of your tongue to the base of your tongue." She wondered if it was called a different name and described it in as much detail as possible, "Anyway, if you add a little bit, it will taste better." Very fragrant!”

After hearing the description, the uncle was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "Girl, don't dare to add things randomly, you may kill someone!"

"..." Okay, just pretend she didn't say it.

After a while, the three siblings had finished the three big bowls of wontons. Touching her round belly, she said with satisfaction: "It's time to go to Xishikou."

"Sister, are you planning to buy a servant to go back and help with the farming?" Halfway through, Xiao Xia suddenly realized what she was doing, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Yes, why didn’t she expect that the reason why their family was so poor was because they had no labor at all? If there was a strong and capable slave who could sow land in the spring, cut rice in the summer, pick fruits in the autumn, and fish and pickle vegetables in the winter, how could it be possible? Worried about livelihood?

"Well, not bad." Duan Qingqiu said with reserved appreciation.

This slave bought back is of great use. Not only can it work, but it can also be used as a shield. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

Duan Qingdong raised his little face that was greasy from eating and said crisply: "Then why don't we go earlier? Aunt Zhang said that you should buy things early. If it's too late, the good ones will be picked away and only the leftovers will be left. Some crooked melons and cracked dates!”

"Hey, Xiaodong knows how to use idioms." She smiled and tapped her forehead with her finger, "Idiot, have you never heard of a saying, 'You get what you pay for'? The better the one, the more expensive it is. What's in your sister's pocket?" With these few copper coins, I can only make do with cracked dates.”

"Oh." The boy held his head, not understanding why his sister always likes to knock him on the head in recent days, but...how to put it, he prefers the way he gets along with her now compared to the silent sister before. .

Also, the way my sister looked when she scooped wontons for him just now was so gentle.

While they were talking, the three of them arrived at Xishikou. The surrounding area was deserted. It was obvious that the auction was coming to an end.

Duan Qingqiu didn't say much, and took his younger siblings to sit down opposite the stands. He took out a pack of fried melon seeds he bought on the way and cracked them among them. At the same time, he cast his eyes on the large cages behind the stands and glanced back and forth.

There were only four people left in the cage, one woman and three men.

Naturally, women don't consider it, but men... The one on the left is very thin and looks like a consumptive ghost. I don't know how many days he can live. The one on the right is quite strong, but his eyes are not straight. Although he is carefully hidden, Judging from her ability to recognize people, which she has developed over many years of hard work, this person is definitely not a good person.

Of course, there are good ways to cultivate good things, and there are ways to deal with evil things. Anyway, I bought it mainly for work. No matter if he has a Bodhisattva heart, can he still turn the world upside down?

As for the one in the middle, she crossed it out in her heart at first glance.

Not only was he dirty, but for some unknown reason, his whole face was swollen like a pig's head, and he was quite tall. He was huddled next to the cage aggrievedly, but if you look closely, you will find that his left arm hangs unnaturally, and A large section of the pants on his right leg was torn, and the exposed part was bloody and bloody.

All in all, this is a seriously injured, semi-wasted man who no one with any sense would buy.

Therefore, in comparison, she prefers the one on the right.

Boom! After the gong sounded, the middle-aged man who presided over the auction pulled the woman out first. Although she looked ordinary, she was younger than her. After several competitions, she was successfully sold for 500 yuan.

A vulgar man grabbed the woman's hair and said cheerfully: "Little girls, go home with me, wash and cook for me and have a baby!"

"Woo..." The girl covered her face and sobbed, but her fate was such that she couldn't resist.

Once the deed of sale falls into the hands of others, it is like being marked for life. Unless the owner goes to the government to eliminate the slave status, it can only be regarded as an item for the rest of his life. If he escapes to the end of the world, he can be captured openly and disposed of at will.
