Creating a Different World - Chapter 2501
[Chapter 2501 Slave]
Everyone has curiosity, and when something new appears, it is easier to arouse this psychology.
In addition, Jia Zhengjin taught Ashley and the other two interesting ways of selling, and the stall was soon crowded with people, and countless pairs of curious eyes stared at them.
Broadleaf vegetables and soybean oil are easier to sell.
Because broadleaf vegetables can be eaten raw, they taste good. You can try them on the spot, and those who have tried them are very satisfied. And the price is quite cheap. You
can open the lid and smell the soybean oil, and its quality is also easy to judge, especially the oil is clear and has no impurities, which is a feature that other oils in the town do not have. It feels much cleaner and makes people feel more at ease.
Only the wild water chestnut rice is not bought by many people. First, the people here don’t know what rice is, and second, the hard grains make everyone feel like gravel, and they doubt whether it is food.
Faced with this situation, Zion and others were at a loss. ,
If the wild water chestnut rice can’t be sold, do they have to take a whole truck home?
Faced with this situation, Jia Zhengjin immediately made a campfire with small stones and placed it behind the stall. Put the wild water chestnut rice in and cook it directly on the spot, and serve the fragrant and crystal clear wild water chestnut rice.
The onlookers can see the scene of the cooking on the spot. In their eyes, Jia Zhengjin put the rice into the pot on the campfire and boiled it with water.
The cooked wild water chestnut rice is fragrant and the taste is very tempting.
Someone suggested that they try it, and Zion agreed immediately.
The first person who tried it soon showed a surprised expression and praised it again and again.
Although it was a little uncomfortable to eat rice for the first time, it cannot be concealed that the taste is excellent. Especially with raw broad-leaved vegetables, the effect is doubled.
If there is one, there will be two, if there are two, there will be three, and if there are three, there will be countless.
When passers-by tasted it one by one, they confirmed that the wild water chestnut rice was a very good food, and the price was not high, half the price of the staple food they ate every day, which immediately caused a rush. It
didn’t take long for the three trucks of goods to be snatched away, and even many customers who couldn’t buy it asked anxiously if there were any more and whether they would come back tomorrow.
This made everyone excited. Zion immediately responded that he would come to the town again tomorrow to continue selling rice and buying vegetables. Friends who didn’t buy today will be given priority tomorrow.
Make a lot of money. Today’s net profit is four silver coins, which was unthinkable in the past.
This money can buy a lot of things.
Jia Zhengjin converted it. The copper coin here is about one dollar, the silver coin is one hundred yuan, and the gold coin is ten thousand yuan.
In other words, today just by selling three trucks of goods, they made four hundred yuan.
This made Zion and others very excited, and a little regretful. Before coming here, you should ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to squeeze all the big-leaf beans into soybean oil, so that you can sell more! This time is experimental, and the soybean oil brought is only a little bit. It seems that I have to be bolder next time. This money is too easy to make!
“With so much money, we can buy a lot of good things!”
“What should we buy?”
“We must buy a bag of salt, so that food will taste better!”
“I think we need to get more seasonings.”
“Should we buy new farm tools?”
“We don’t need to buy that, right?” Heiman was about to say something when Zion glared at him. He immediately remembered and changed his words, “Can’t we make it?”
Everyone looked at Jia Zhengjin.
Jia Zhengjin nodded immediately.
“Then let’s buy some vegetable seeds? We can grow more vegetables!” Ashley suggested.
“That’s a good idea!”
They looked like country bumpkins who had never seen the world when they came to the city and made a few hundred dollars by selling agricultural products.
There was nothing they could do about it, after all, they were used to hardship.
In fact, if they really wanted to spend it, these few silver coins would not be enough.
Of course, Jia Zhengjin would not break their good mood.
Everyone discussed and pulled forward all the way, looking around to see what could be bought in the market.
When passing by a certain place, they heard the sound of whips “snapping” accompanied by heartbreaking shouts.
There was a crowd of people in front of them, gathering somewhere to watch.
“What’s going on?” Jia Zhengjin asked curiously after hearing the noise.
Zion looked at the source of the sound and quickly understood. He whispered to him, “That’s the slave market over there. The sellers should be punishing disobedient slaves.”
“Slave market?” Jia Zhengjin had seen a lot of them on Mosu Star.
“Do you want to go over and take a look?” Zion asked in a low voice.
Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment and nodded.
So they walked towards the slave market and soon squeezed into the crowd.
Sure enough, there were wooden cages in the place surrounded by the crowd. However, there were no wild animals or poultry in the cages, but humans of all ages, men, women, and children.
Some people who looked very rich were bargaining with the staff in front of the cages, and on the other side, a strong man with a whip was whipping an old man with his skin torn.
The old man was beaten so hard that he wailed and begged for mercy, but the strong man did not show any mercy.
“They are all family members of serious criminals,” Zion explained in a low voice in Jia Zhengjin’s ear, “the kind that commits unforgivable crimes, and their family members will be sold as slaves. In fact, if we are caught, we will suffer the same fate, or even worse, so we must be cautious. The slave is probably too old and weak to be sold, and he may be beaten to death and then abandoned in the wilderness.”
Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly and looked at the reactions of the onlookers. Except for a few people with pity and sympathy, most people were just watching the fun and some even cheered.
This situation is also normal. Jia Zhengjin has seen a lot of it on Mosu Star.
Under the crazy whipping of the strong man’s whip, the old slave’s wailing became softer and softer, until he could not make any sound in the end, and his bloody body lay there motionless.
The strong man whipped a few more times, checked the condition of the slave, called a few staff members, took a bag and put it in, carried it on the carriage and pulled it out of the city.
There were several other bags on the carriage, which should all be filled with slaves.
“Go and have a look!” Jia Zhengjin found that the slave was still breathing, but he was too badly injured. If he was not saved, he would surely die.
In this world, it costs a lot of money to treat such injuries. No one is willing to spend so much money on a lowly slave. In this case, they are basically thrown outside to die.
However, for Jia Zhengjin, it is easy to treat their injuries. Just go to the forest and get some red herbs, and they can be completely cured.
Although they don’t know what Jia Zhengjin is going to do, everyone resolutely carries out the orders of “Her Royal Highness the Princess”, so the team followed the slave transport vehicle in front and soon arrived outside the city.
Walking all the way to a remote and desolate place, the staff carried the dying or dead slaves down, threw them into the mountains and forests, and walked away.
When they left, Jia Zhengjin immediately ordered: “Go and have a look, take back those who are still breathing, and they will be free labor if they are saved!”
