Chapter 78 - 78 Slave Seals
78 Slave Seals
Master Zhou was stunned.
He was furious when he saw his staff member looking at him.
“What are you waiting for? Go get a bucket of water to wash her face!” As he spoke, he whipped him with the short whip in his hand.
Trash! This was his first time taking over a business and he didn’t know what was going on. Did he not know to remind him? How embarrassing.
“Yes!” The staff member did not dare to dodge and took the beating. Then, he quickly went to the side to fetch a bucket of water.
In a short while, he came back with a bucket of water.
Then, he scooped a ladle of water and splashed it on the woman’s face. Then, he carelessly wiped her face with a piece of cloth.
Her face was revealed.
She looked delicate and pretty, and she definitely did not look more than 20 years old.
“23 taels!”
“24 taels!”
“I bid 30 taels!”
…
The bidding quickly continued.
A look of satisfaction flashed across Third Master Zhou’s eyes.
When a middle-aged man bid 41 taels, no one else bid higher.
“Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?” Third Master Zhou asked in annoyance.
He thought to himself, what a bunch of f * cking poor people! Only 41 taels of silver for a young woman?
There were discussions in the crowd, but no one called out the price.
The farmers who came to buy a wife were not willing to pay so much money. After all, looks were not that important to bear children. A young one was enough.
Ren Yazi was interested. He thought he could teach her, and sell her to a rich family as a maid or something. However, if it was more than 40 taels, their profits would be limited, and it wouldn’t be a good investment.
The only one who was struggling was the madam of the brothel.
She liked her looks and her age.
However, even slaves were not willing to go to her. In the past few years, many had died after she brought them back.
It was still a gamble to spend 40 taels of silver.
Master Zhou’s gaze swept across the faces of the customers and noticed the madam’s expression.
Then, a cruel look flashed across his eyes and he suddenly pulled the woman over.
Then, he ripped her clothes apart.
“AH!” the woman cried out in surprise, and her hands quickly covered her chest.
But her fair skin was already exposed.
There was a commotion among the spectators.
“42 taels!” The madam finally called out the price.
Although she was a little thin, she could bring in a lot of customers with her fair skin.
“43 taels!” The middle-aged man who had just called out the price frowned and shouted.
He had been married-in son-in-law for more than ten years, and now that his wife had died and he had money, he would buy a beautiful woman and enjoy life.
“44 taels!” The madam glared at the middle-aged man.
“45 taels!”
The madam looked conflicted.
“Fine!” She finally said angrily.
Third Master Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at his subordinate.
He immediately struck the gong.
“Deal!” He said loudly.
The middle-aged man quickly left happily.
Lin Xiaoyue saw the middle-aged man go to the side to pay the money and take the contract. Then, he had the staff members from the Zhou trading company brand the word “slave” on the woman’s shoulder.
As soon as the hot iron touched her shoulder, the woman cried out and fainted.
No one paid any attention to her. Everything was already back to normal.
Seeing the middle-aged man carrying the woman away, Lin Xiaoyue continued to look at the stage.
Once this word was branded on the shoulder, one was officially a slave.
