Chapter 197

At this time, it was almost a few years ago, and the business of Yaxing was not good. The man named Cai Wulang was also happy when he saw the business, and he happily invited them to his home while introducing them constantly.

Lian Fangzhou listened to each other, she still had an instinctive disgust towards such people.

"I don't know what kind of people Jane and Miss Lian want to buy? It's not me, I have what you want!" Cai Wulang patted his chest and assured.

A Jian smiled and said, "Can we see everyone?" As he said that, he handed over a piece of silver with about three or four coins, "It's time to work!"

Cai Wulang saw that they were not big households in the city, nor were they the rich and the country gentlemen in the township. He was not very happy to hear Ah Jian's request, but before he could say the unwilling words, he was shoved into his hand by Ah Jian. After paying the money, he squeezed the weight with his hand and was satisfied. He swallowed the reluctant words, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Wait a minute, I'll call everyone here. Come!"

There are a total of two people in Yuhe County, with Cai Wulang as the elder, and he also has three apprentices under him to help manage. It also has the largest population.

Not long after, Lian Fangzhou and the others heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the yard outside. Looking out, they could vaguely see a lot of people of different heights standing in the yard, about thirty or forty people. Men and women were all dressed in white washed indigo blue clothes, with their heads down, looking a little bleak.

After a while, Cai Wulang came in and asked with a smile: "Jian Ye and Miss Lian don't know why they bought someone to go back? It happened that I just came here two days ago, there are men and women, whether it is a Little servant or girl, they are all smart and capable!"

Lian Fangzhou and Ajian looked at each other and said with a smile, "We country people don't need any maids and servants, we lack farming! If there are suitable ones, I will pick a dozen or so and go. Just forget it!"

"That's it!" Cai Wulang nodded, then smiled again: "As long as you have the strength, anyone can do a job as simple as farming! I'll call someone in to show you, and I'll do it right away. Call five or six, what do you think?"

"Come on!" Lian Fangzhou smiled.

Cai Wulang said "Hey", then got up and went out, waving his hand at the apprentice outside and giving an order, and still came back and sat down to accompany him with a smile.

After a while, another apprentice of Cai Wulang led five or six people in line, lined up in the hall in order of height and low, lowered his hands and lowered his eyes, it seemed to be very rules.

"Master Jane, Miss Lian, these young men are all in their twenties. They are strong and work a lot. What do you think?" Cai Wulang smiled and swept his eyes to those people. He shouted in a low voice, "Raise your heads! Keep your chest up, and keep your spirits up!"

Lian Fangzhou and Ajian didn't say anything. Lian Fangzhou turned to Qin Feng and Su Ziji and said with a smile, "Go and see if it's suitable or not."

Qin Feng and Su Ziji agreed and went forward.

Cai Wulang frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied, but didn't say anything.

Qin Feng and Su Ziji circled around those people and asked a few words, "What did you do before?" and "How long did you do it?" Yunyun ordered them to stretch out their hands to take a look, and then walked back.

Cai Wulang hurriedly asked with a smile, "How is it? Are they all good?"

Qin Feng glanced at Lian Fangzhou and said with a smile: "It's good, but it's not suitable for farming."

Cai Wulang gave an "oh" and sighed: "Forget it, let's look at the next batch! In fact, you pay too much attention to it. As long as you are healthy, there is nothing suitable for farming..."

If it weren't for the amount of money rewarded, and if they bought it for a dozen people, Cai Wulang would be a little impatient.

Qin Feng and Su Ziji did not directly respond to his words, but smiled and said that they would choose carefully.

Among the six people just now, there are two eyes that keep rolling around, and at first glance, they are not loyal, how to get them? The remaining three, one is a concierge, one is an errand runner, the concierge is too lazy, the errand runner is too active, and the other is too slender.

Qin Feng slowly said the reason for not picking them, Cai Wulang was secretly surprised, and he couldn't say anything more.

After about an hour or so, all the people in the yard were selected, and finally Qin Feng and Su Ziji selected fifteen suitable people. Lian Fangzhou said that there were only twelve, and the two of them picked out three more.

However, only twelve, Cai Wulang is also very happy.

Then they picked a family of four, a married couple of thirty-six and seven with one son, one daughter and two children. The man was named Zhang Xiaojun and the woman was Li Sumei; the daughter was about the same age as Lian Fangzhou, named Zhang Xiuer, and the son was two years older than Lian Che. , called Zhang Liang.

This family can just do some household chores such as cleaning the yard and cooking, otherwise the problem of feeding the twelve workers will not be easy to solve. You can't let the third aunt do it every day.

Sending out these many people at once can save a lot of rations. Cai Wulang is in a particularly good mood, and the price he offers to Lian Fangzhou is also very fair-mainly because Qin Feng and Su Ziji's picky eyes are too sharp, which made him feel in his heart. I don't have the bottom line, and I don't dare to ask for a price.

The final transaction price was 8 taels per person for 12 people, and the family of four totaled 33 taels - as long as it was Zhang Xiu'er, it was worth 14 taels.

Looking at Zhang Xiu'er's beautiful face, fair skin, and slender figure, Lian Fangzhou secretly scolded Cai Wulang for being dark-hearted, and he knew what he was thinking without asking.

Zhang Xiu'er's mother, Mrs. Li, and her father, Zhang Xiaojun, were so nervous that they turned pale, fearing that Lian Fangzhou would not want Zhang Xiu'er.

Hearing Lian Fangzhou nodding in agreement, the couple and Zhang Xiu'er both let out a big sigh, and Li slumped to the ground with a low "ah" sound. Girl! Thank you for your kindness and great virtue!" It made Lian Fangzhou feel sad for a while.

After buying the people, it was already in the middle of the application period. Lian Fangzhou asked Qin Feng and Su Ziji to lead the group to the tea shop at the gate of the city to wait. He, Lian Ze, Ajian, and Li Shi and Zhang Xiu'er were called. To buy the daily necessities to settle these people.

Clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, blankets, etc., as well as buckets, basins, etc. must be prepared. Otherwise, how will these people live when they go back? When I came out of the door of Renya, I had nothing but the clothes on my body, but I was empty-handed!

There are also pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, grain, rice and noodles, etc. I have to buy them together. I won’t be able to do it tonight. I will buy some steamed buns, cakes, etc. from the street to go back for dinner, and I will have Li tomorrow. Get up and make breakfast!

These things are trivial and trivial, and there are many kinds of things. Rao has two more people to help, and it still takes a lot of time to buy them all.

The donkey cart brought by himself could not fit at all, so Lian Fangzhou hired two more donkey carts, which was barely able to fit.
