Female-to-male: I live on farming

"Madam, please make do with this for now. When I make money in the future, I will buy you jade."

Lu Youqing was playing with the silver hairpin Qin Ke gave her. Hearing this, she looked up at him and smiled, "I don't care about that."

It doesn’t really matter whether the gift is valuable or not. To her, the person who gives the gift and the intention behind it are more important than material wealth.

After visiting the jewelry store, Qin Ke bought some cakes. He had never tasted ancient desserts, so he bought some as well.

Carrying the pastries in one hand and holding Lu Youqing's hand in the other, they finally arrived at the Human Market. Qin Ke thought about what he had asked the human trafficker last time to help keep an eye out for people with carpentry skills. Such a long time had passed and he didn't know if there was any news, so he went in to ask.

"I haven't met this guest recently," the man shook his head, and then suddenly leaned close to Qin Ke's ear and whispered, "But a few days ago, a man who knows martial arts suddenly came here. He volunteered to sell himself as a slave. Do you want him?"

"Oh?" Qin Ke raised his eyebrows and became interested as soon as he heard it.

Seeing that he was interested, the human trafficker explained the whole incident to Qin Ke.

It turns out that this man's name is Lei Zhong. He was adopted by the escort agency since he was a child. He learned martial arts and has been escorting with the escort agency since he was a child. Who would have known that half a month ago, when he was escorting, he was intercepted by bandits when passing by the foot of Luming Mountain.

The escort agency had been traveling around for many years and was experienced in the underworld. Everyone in the agency knew some martial arts and rarely got into trouble. But who knew that the robbers were so insidious that they sent a few children and women and children to pretend to be refugees and sneak into their team, and secretly put drugs in their tea.

It was not until a group of people pulling the darts reached the foot of the mountain that the robbers jumped out.

Taking advantage of the effect of the drugs, they intercepted their escorts and even spared the people in their escort agency. Lei Zhong was injured in the arm during the last escort mission and did not go with the escort, so he stayed in the escort agency to look after the house. Who knew that something like this would happen?

When Lei Zhong got the news and rushed to Luming Mountain, his master and fellow disciples had already been left dead in the wilderness. He was so grief-stricken and angry that he collected their bodies by himself.

Before he could even bury them, the escort's family came to his door and demanded that they pay for the losses caused by the loss of the darts, otherwise they would take Lei Zhong to the government.

Lei Zhong was outnumbered and had no choice but to sell the escort agency's shop and other belongings. After paying for their losses, he was left with little.

In order to allow his fellow brothers in the escort agency to be buried in the ground, he had no choice but to sell himself.

"So you're saying that his request is to let him bury his fellow disciples in coffins first?" Qin Ke guessed that this was similar to the situation of selling oneself to bury one's father that he had heard about in his previous life.

"That's right. He said he doesn't want a penny, as long as he helps bury his fellow apprentices. The installation fee is not a small amount of money. Many families were interested in him, but they gave up when they heard this condition."

Lu Youqing knew that most families bought slaves just to guard the house or do odd jobs. Some of them did have good skills, but there was really no need to spend so much money on them.

"I wonder if we can take a look at each other first?" Lu Youqing could see that Qin Ke was interested, and in fact, she was also a little tempted.

Someone who is good at martial arts and values ​​friendship and loyalty is exactly what they need right now.

"Of course, wait a moment."

Not long after, Ren Yazi was seen leading a tall and strong young man with a square face like a Chinese character slowly towards them.

Seeing his steady and powerful steps and his resolute and calm face, Qin Ke's heart, which had already been moved, became even more settled.

"How many coffins do you need? Do you have an idea of ​​how much silver it will cost to give them a proper burial?" Lu Youqing went straight to the point.

"I have thirteen fellow disciples and they are now all settled in the City God Temple in the suburbs. I need twenty-five taels. As long as you let me settle them down, my life will be yours." Lei Zhong spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, with his back straight.

Upon hearing this number, Qin Ke finally understood why no one would buy him. Nowadays, an ordinary slave only cost five taels of silver. For example, Han Qi's price was five times higher.

After Lu Youqing pondered for a moment, she looked up at Qin Ke. Qin Ke understood what she meant, so he took out thirty taels from his pocket and threw it to her.

He caught the silver that Qin Ke threw over, frowned and looked at Qin Ke: "It's too much."

"Use these extra things to pick out better coffins for your fellow disciples." Qin Ke put his arm around Lu Youqing's waist with a smile, and told him their home address.

"When you finish what you are doing, come find me in the village."

Lei Zhong stared at their backs thoughtfully, clenched his fists around the silver in his hand, and imprinted the faces of the two men firmly in his mind.

"Aren't you afraid that he will take your money and leave without saying goodbye?" After walking onto the street, Lu Youqing glanced at Qin Ke and said with a smile.

Qin Ke turned his head and looked at her with a smile, staring at her with wise eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.

"Can't you guess it, ma'am?"

Lu Youqing lowered her head and stared at her toes, and said softly, "Yes, people like him value friendship the most. As long as he feels that he owes you something, he will follow you wholeheartedly. This is much more useful than a contract of sale."

"This shows that my wife and I are in perfect sync. Besides, even if we guessed wrong, let's just consider it as a good deed."

The two returned to the stall chatting and laughing. At this time, Li Nanqiao and Han Qi were packing up the stall.

"Is it sold out?" Qin Ke glanced at the empty carriage.

Li Nanqiao put the board back in the car and said happily, "Yes, someone just bought all the remaining five watermelons."

"Well, today's results are good," Qin Ke waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll treat everyone to lunch."

Several people got into the car happily, and Qin Ke found a bun shop and treated everyone to a meal of buns.

They returned home only after eating and drinking. In the evening, after Li Nanqiao and the others returned, Lu Youqing and Qin Ke sat in the bedroom to settle the accounts.

They had nearly a hundred watermelons in the car today, including the ones Qin Ke secretly put in from the space. Excluding those for tasting, they sold a total of 112 watermelons, with a total income of 56 taels.

The daily income was more than fifty taels, which even the knowledgeable Lu Youqing was a little surprised.

Qin Ke estimated that the yield of one acre of watermelon is about 8000 kilograms. On average, one watermelon weighs about 10 kilograms. In other words, one acre of land can produce about watermelons, so the yield of five acres of land is basically more than .

Even according to their current pricing, these few acres of watermelons can earn more than two thousand taels.
