Chapter 241
"I want to hire two long-term workers." Fat Miao'er suggested.
"Why hire long-term workers?" Li Xiaodao looked puzzled.
"Now my second brother and I go to the town to go to school every day. The eldest brother works in the county. The third brother learns business from Uncle Li. My sister does most of the housework. She also has to study medicine with Grandpa Li. It's a bit of a delay. .”
"Besides, our rice is about to mature and needs to be harvested. I don't want to bother grandpa and them anymore. First, they don't want money, and second, they are very busy." Fat Miao'er explained.
"It's okay, I can do it, don't waste money." Liu Ye'er waved her hands repeatedly.
"Fat Miao'er is right. I agree with her." Wei Shu raised his hand.
"Ye Er, you have indeed paid the most for this family, you have worked hard." Li Xiaodao said.
"Yes, Ye'er is the most credited. She does all the laundry at home." Compass interjected.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fat Miao'er, don't say that, I don't work hard, I can do what I can for you, I am very happy." Liu Ye'er said with some moist eyes.
She believes that she is the person who has made the least contribution to the family, and now she is so recognized by everyone, which makes her heart moved.
"Sister, don't say that, we are a family, and everyone is very important." Fat Miao'er said solemnly.
"Yes!" Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu and Luo Pan spoke in unison.
After that, the five of them looked at each other and burst out laughing "haha".
"It's better to hire a long-term worker than to buy two servants. With the contract in hand, we can use it smoothly and use it at ease." Compass suggested.
"Buy someone?" Fat Miao'er asked suspiciously.
She is a modern cat. In her opinion, buying and selling people is against the law, so she never had this idea.
"Yes!" Compass nodded heavily: "Let's go to the dental clinic in the county tomorrow, just find someone."
"Isn't it worth a few taels of silver to buy someone?" Liu Ye'er asked.
"It's just to start spending more money. After buying it, the monthly fee is much cheaper than that of a long-term worker, which is very cost-effective." Luopan explained, and these are what he learned from shopkeeper Li recently.
"Then how many shall we buy?" Li Xiaodao asked.
"Buy two, one is for our mother-in-law, we wash and cook, clean up the house, and the other is a strong laborer, who can do farm work and run errands." Compass replied.
"I think it's okay." Wei Shu nodded.
"Yes!" Fat Miao'er, Liu Ye'er, and Li Xiaodao also nodded.
Several people chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
……
The next day.
After lunch, Compass drove the donkey cart and took Fat Miao'er to the county. After meeting Li Xiaodao, the three of them went to the tooth shop together to find Ren Yazi.
Li Xiaodao put his hands behind his back: "We are going to choose one to serve as a maid, and one to be a strong laborer. You will hand them over to others, and we will have a look."
"The important thing is to be honest." Li Xiaodao added.
"Success!" Ren Yazi responded happily, and shouted to the side: "Everyone come out, everyone comes out, here are the guests."
"Smooth! Be quick! Hurry up!" Ren Yazi waved his hands.
As soon as the voice fell, a large group of people rushed over.
There are men and women, old and young, all of them are in ragged clothes and have dull eyes.
Looking at Fat Miao'er and the others with timid eyes, but also with anticipation.
Fortunately, the faces of these people are not bad, they are not sick, it can be seen that the people did not treat them harshly in terms of food.
After Fat Miao'er looked around, he looked at Li Xiaodao and Compass.
The two were also silent.
Ren Yazi observed the words and expressions, his eyes were full of light, and he could probably guess that Fat Miao'er and the others were buying for the first time and had no experience.
So he asked, "Guest, what age do you want to find a servant, do you have any other requirements?"
"Such as needlework, cooking, arithmetic, and literacy?" Ren Yazi listed them one by one, and then said, "The price is different for each person. The more you know, the higher the price."
"But customers, don't worry, our servants here are the cheapest, and they are all recorded in the government, so there won't be any problems." Ren Yazi assured.
No matter if it is a landlord, a gentry, or a wealthy family, when they come to pick people, they all like to pick those with clean backgrounds, and no one wants to let someone who has been abducted enter the house.
If you are not careful, you will be sued.
The three of them looked at each other when they heard the words, and the compass came forward to explain the request that they had discussed at home yesterday.
"My mother-in-law should be able to wash, cook, and do needlework. She should be in her thirties!"
"A strong labor force needs to be in his 30s. He has quick hands and feet, is diligent, and has good eyesight. It is best to know a few more words."
Ren Yazi, after a little thought, called out two people.
These two are a man and a woman respectively.
The man is of medium build, and his body is very straight. Although the woman's clothes are torn, her hair is neatly combed. The two stand together, looking very well-behaved.
Ren Yazi introduced, "These two are a couple. The woman is good at cooking and needlework. She used to be in charge of the small kitchen at the master's house."
"The man is his husband. He has physical strength and can read a little."
"Their former master committed a crime, and the two of them were sold here." Ren Yazi explained the origin of the couple in a few words.
Compass looked satisfied in his heart, turned his head to look at Fat Miao'er and Li Xiaodao, and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Xiaodao didn't say a word, but looked at the couple with sharp eyes and scrutiny.
Under Li Xiaodao's gaze, the two of them remained motionless, obviously with good mental quality.
Fat Miao'er nodded indifferently. People can only understand by getting along with each other. Now I can't see anything.
"Okay, that's it for them." Li Xiaodao agreed.
After introduction, the three knew that the man was Zhu Qiang, 35 years old this year, and the woman, Zhu Qiang's wife (Zhu Chen's), was 34 years old.
They also have a daughter who was bought by someone a few days ago. Coincidentally, the buyer's home is in Qingyang Town.
After some haggling, the three bought the couple for 19 taels.
Looking at this scene, Fat Miao'er sighed silently, people are not as good as cows!
Just like bargaining when buying livestock, the people who are sold are pitiful and pathetic.
But this is the ancient times, the ancient times with distinct levels, if you have no money or power, you can only suffer from hunger and bullying.
Before Li Xiaodao and the others met her, they were no better than these people, the only thing they could do was freedom!
After paying the money and getting the contract, the three of them took Zhu Qiang and his wife out of the dental office.
"Fat Miao'er, Abacus, there is still something to do in the yamen, so I won't accompany you back. Be careful on the way." Li Xiaodao warned.
"Okay!" Fat Miaoer and Compass nodded.
After speaking, Li Xiaodao turned and left.
"I'll call you Uncle Qiang from now on, how about Aunt Qiang?" Fat Miao'er looked at the two of them inquiringly.
"No, no, how dare you call yourself an uncle or aunt in front of the master." Zhu Qiang and his wife waved their hands again and again.
