Chapter 111 Buying a Maid
Chapter 111 Buying a Maid (First Order Request)
Seeing Ye Yunqi looking at the door plaque, before Ye Yunqi could ask any more questions.
The waiter then introduced the shop kindly: "Our shop is called Jinyufang. Although gold and jade are beautiful, they are hidden in mud and rocks. Only when the time comes can they be shed from the mundane world and show themselves."
"This is the name of our store, which means that the people we sell are just temporarily trapped in the mud, waiting for the right person to help them turn into gold and jade."
Chu Yao and Chu Lin looked at each other, and Chu Yao joked, "What if my master buys it back and it doesn't become gold and jade?"
This is just an expectation, and certainly not a promise.
The waiter's response was familiar: "After all, among these mud and stones, most of them are mud and stones. Whether they can become gold and jade is also a matter of chance and fate."
The waiter followed Ye Yunqi into the hall. Compared with other slave trading places, the hall here was spacious, bright and clean, and there were no ragged beggar-like slaves.
There are signs hanging everywhere on the three walls of the hall.
Ye Yunqi looked up and saw the sign that listed various types of servants.
On one side are written various types of male slaves, such as war slaves who guard the house, serfs who are good at farming, miner slaves who are good at mining, pastoral slaves who are good at raising animals, and so on.
On the wooden table below, corresponding to the sign above, there are booklets with specific appearances drawn on them and detailed information written on them.
Many customers were browsing and making preliminary selections, and some store waiters were serving them.
There were also customers who were interested in the slaves and followed the waiter to the backyard to check out the specific conditions of the slaves.
On the other side, there were also labels and booklets of female slaves, which were roughly the same as the information Meng Jingyang had previously inquired about, and were divided into different grades.
Ye Yunqi was just about to flip through the booklet when the waiter pointed his finger and led him upstairs: "Senior, please follow me. What do you need?"
"Just to buy some maids."
Going upstairs, there are elegant separate VIP rooms. Ye Yunqi followed the waiter into the VIP room.
The VIP room is elegantly and luxuriously decorated, with wisps of elegant fragrance filling the air.
I saw a beautiful young woman waiting here for a long time. When she saw Ye Yunqi, she stood up to greet him.
She walked up to Ye Yunqi and bowed politely: "Greetings, senior. I am the third shopkeeper here. You can call me Hong Mudan."
Red Peony, as its name suggests, is as graceful and elegant as a fully bloomed peony.
She was wearing a bright red brocade gown, somewhat like a cheongsam, which perfectly outlined her curvy figure.
A light blue belt was tied diagonally around her waist, with a crystal clear sapphire tassel hanging diagonally below the belt.
As Red Peony stepped forward to greet her, her waist, which could be held in one hand, became even more eye-catching.
Following the sapphire tassels, one's eyes went down to the slit of the cheongsam, where two tender white thighs were staggered, dazzling the eyes.
Ye Yunqi took a closer look and found that the person in front of him had already reached the fifth level of Qi training.
Obviously, even if a cultivator at the first level of Qi training works as a waiter, his attitude towards mortals and cultivators is still different.
When ordinary people come here, they are led in and allowed to look around. If they see something they like, the waiter will take them to inspect it in detail and choose to buy it.
The monks will not stay with the mortals, but will go to the VIP room on the second floor.
Ye Yunqi followed Hong Mudan's lead and took a seat. He said calmly, "You're welcome. I came here just to buy a few maids. It's just a small business."
Hong Mudan personally poured Ye Yunqi a cup of fragrant tea. The tea was clear and fragrant, mixed with the fragrance of Hong Mudan, which had a unique flavor.
Hong Mudan smiled sweetly: "The size of the business has nothing to do with it. It is an honor for Jinyufang to entertain guests like you." Then she took out three booklets with her bare hands. As Hong Mudan introduced, they were, in order, ten taels for an ordinary person, thirty taels for a beautiful woman, and a hundred taels for a well-educated, well-mannered, wealthy daughter or official.
Ye Yunqi originally wanted to say that he didn't care about appearance, but when he opened the booklet with the price range of ten taels, only two words came to Ye Yunqi's mind: village woman.
The pictures in this booklet are not paintings like those in traditional Chinese painting, but more like photographs from later times.
The women inside looked like they had been malnourished for a long time. Their hair was dry and yellow, and their bodies were thin. They were not pretty at all.
Ye Yunqi closed the booklet silently.
Turning to the thirty-two level, she is indeed worthy of the word "beautiful".
As Ye Yunqi flipped through the books, he asked, "Is it possible that these people have spiritual roots?"
Hong Mudan shook her head and said, "You don't know, our people in Jinyufang have all tested their spiritual roots. Those you can see don't have any spiritual roots."
"If the distinguished guest needs a servant with spiritual root qualifications, they usually choose from the Jinyufang in Beixianji, but we also have a booklet here, you can take a look."
"Those colleagues outside who don't have the strength will not test their spiritual roots. However, if a distinguished guest needs a spiritual root slave, it is more cost-effective to buy it directly from the Jinyufang."
Ye Yunqi flipped open the booklet and saw that the worst servant, who was worth as little as a village woman, had a spiritual root of the lower ninth grade, and needed two spirit stones.
As for those with good looks, they have to pay an additional price, five or even ten spirit stones.
Those with higher spiritual roots will have to pay a higher price.
There must be a reason why Jinyufang dares to mark such a high price. Just as Hong Mudan said, if you go outside to buy slaves for the sake of spiritual roots, the probability of detecting spiritual roots is only one in ten.
Ordinary cultivators like Ye Yunqi have to exchange spirit stones for silver, and after buying them, they have to pay to test their qualifications.
It is definitely not as cost-effective as just spending spirit stones to buy the tested products at Jinyufang.
However, Ye Yunqi’s savings are still limited now, and he is also a bit obsessed with looks.
In the end, Ye Yunqi still selected two maids from the price range of one hundred taels.
Originally, Ye Yunqi only wanted to buy it at the thirty-two taels level and didn't want to use any more spirit stones.
But when he flipped through it casually, he saw the looks of these two people and it was really hard for him to give up.
Finally, thinking that I had made some money today, I just bought them all.
A girl with an oval face named Jiaojiao, who was extremely delicate, or in the words of later generations, a standard internet celebrity face.
Her facial features are extremely delicate, like a template for plastic surgery, with a pair of big peach blossom eyes, double eyelids, long eyelashes, and a straight nose.
She is 1.75 meters tall and has a pair of long legs like a model.
Ye Yunqi's heart was extremely moved. At a glance, it was as if he saw the lover in the future who only existed on the screen.
The other one is called Yueyue.
If the one in the front is an internet celebrity face, then the Yueyue in the back is a model of Chinese classical aesthetics. She has the style that amazed Ye Yunqi throughout his childhood and appeared in some old TV dramas.
Her face is round and full, like the bright moon, her skin is whiter than snow, she has curved willow-shaped eyebrows, big watery eyes, and a cherry mouth under her small nose that is red without any makeup.
It’s great to cultivate immortality!
Ye Yunqi sighed and pointed out the two people on the booklet.
