Chapter 105 Buying a Servant, the Big Boss Covers It
"Indeed." Jiang Zhi nodded and said, "Both A Ce and A Zheng are busy, and we need trustworthy people to buy and sell in the store."

"Early tomorrow morning, my brother will go find the matchmaker in the county, and bring back two smart and capable servants, so that Erlang Ye and the younger sister will have time to do their own things." Jiang Yu included this matter in his plan. Knowing that the two eldest children of the Ye family cannot help in the store, if they had known earlier, they would have hired someone earlier.

Now their shop has just started, and they can't find someone they can't trust. If they want to find peace, it's the most practical way to buy someone.

The next day, Jiang Yu really brought back two servants, a man and a woman. The people from Xuanzhou next door whose family was ruined by the drought last year were sold to Xin'an County.

Compared with Dongdu, servants need three hundred guan to buy it.But in the small Xin'an County, thirty guan is enough.

The two didn't know each other at first, but met on the way to be sold, and then got acquainted.

In the backyard of Fumantang, Jiang Zhi sat on a chair and looked at the two brought back by Jiang Yu.

"Tell me what's special about you."

Both of them are not too old. The man's name is Huo Qi, he is 20 years old this year.The girl's name is Yuzhen, this year.

The woman was married and conceived a child, but she was killed by a bad mother-in-law. Only her old mother was left in her natal family. She was cornered by the drought and finally starved to death.

What a poor man.

But Jiang Zhi never hires people regardless of their background, only whether they are useful or not.If the life experience is miserable, then it’s fine to use it once or twice, and arrange it for welfare arrangements, but if you keep using it to kidnap others morally, then it will be a matter of character.

"When I go back to the shopkeeper, the younger one is called Huo Qi. He does everything from farming and chopping firewood at home. He can endure hardships and is not afraid of being tired. He just needs to eat."

"My name is Yuzhen. I know how to embroider as a female worker. I don't have any hobbies on weekdays. In addition, the maid can cook some food."

"Are you literate?" Jiang Zhi asked the two of them.

"I can't read." The two said in unison.

Jiang Zhi asked Ye Xiaomei to take out a pen and ink, and recorded all the basic information of the two of them, including their hometown, family demographics, date of birth, preferences, what they did before, etc., and locked them in Jiang Zhi's small box together with the deed of sale. Inside.

"The two of you must have suffered a lot along the way, and I will not change your names. Yuzhen can cook, so she went to the kitchen to cook a table enough for five people. As for Huo Qi, there are many people in the backyard." The firewood hasn't been chopped, so go chop it." After Jiang Zhi ordered the two of them to get up and go to the counter, it was noon and no one came to buy candies.

After the two got the order, they felt that their lives had moved forward again. After they were sold, the first master they met seemed strict, but in fact they had a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. This is already a blessing in misfortune.

Yuzhen looked at the various ingredients in the kitchen. On the way to the kitchen, she saw a small field in the yard with vegetables growing in it. It seems that the owner's family is very good at living.

"Little sister, are you satisfied with these two?" Jiang Yu put one hand on the counter, looking at Jiang Zhi who was sealing the candy with glutinous rice paper.

"It's okay, the fly in the ointment is that neither of them can read. It's better to teach "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Characters"."

Jiang Yu also thinks it makes sense, it is best to be able to read and write, so as not to be deceived.

It also happened before that slaves were illiterate and were deceived by others, so that they turned over the crime of murder, which caused great trouble to the master's family.

Even if you don't know all of them, at least you know a few of them to avoid being cheated.

At this time, two handsome men came to the door of Fumantang. They were Li Jintian and Ouyang.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Jiang, I heard from the people below that there is a sugar shop in Xin'an County, and the owner behind the scenes is a woman. The sugar is also different from other places. The whole body is crystal clear and white. I thought of you at that time, but I didn't expect it to be true." You drove it." Li Jintian looked up to the sky and smiled.

Thinking of the white sugar that Jiang Zhi sold to him back then, his heart began to bleed again.

After inquiring about it this morning, I found out that the white sugar here is 45 yuan a tael, and I could buy it for [-] yuan a tael, which is almost double the price.

This statement must be retracted!He was at a loss.

Jiang Zhi came out from behind the counter, blessed her body, and Jiang Yu beside her also saluted.

"Official Li, official Ouyang." Jiang Zhi turned her head and looked at Jiang Yu to move the stool out. Jiang Yu nodded slightly, moved tables and chairs for the two, and served tea by the way.

"Yesterday, a scholar sent me four mints. The taste was very strange. After asking, I found out that it was from Fumantang, so I came here with Brother Li." Ouyang also explained the reason why he came here.

Jiang Zhi felt that they were too polite, so she came here as soon as she came, and even explained why she came, which seemed to show her high status, but in fact she was just a commoner, and she was nothing in front of these two people.Jiang Zhi took out a small plate of rock candy, mint candy and nougat from behind the counter, and brought them in front of them.

"Our shop's signboard, this is nougat, please two officials to taste it." After Jiang Zhi introduced it, she walked up to Jiang Yu and said, "This is my elder brother. The name is Yu, and the name is Gongming."

"Gongming! What a good word!" Li Jintian praised after eating a piece of nougat.

"The housewife can afford to open this sugar shop, thanks to my elder brother's help." Jiang Zhi added the importance of Jiang Yu.

Just as Li Jintian expected, no matter how powerful Jiang Zhi was, she was still just a woman. She was able to open a shop in such a short period of time, and she must have someone to help her.

Fumantang went to the government to file a record before opening the shop and obtained permission, but this matter was not under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, so Li Jintian didn't know.

Fortunately, it was Jiang Yu who was busy, otherwise Jiang Zhi would be in trouble when going to the county government. Chen Xiancheng and Ouyang were in charge of this.

Judging from the fact that the mountain spring water was blocked until now, Chen Xiancheng must still regard Jiang Zhi as a thorn in his flesh.

Even if he once came to the house for dinner.

Ye Xiaomei tried her best to bear the bowl and chopsticks for him.

Since the candies they bought last year were not finished, Li Jintian and Ouyang only wanted some nougat and mints.

Jiang Zhi has limited energy to make candies by herself, so the daily quantity of candies is limited and they will only be sold out.

Two officials came today, and Jiang Zhi couldn't collect the money, so she wrapped a bag for each of them, saying it was a gift.

Ouyang is a big shot who can cause a sensation wherever he goes. He and Li Jintian went to Fumantang's shop at noon and drank tea and chatted.

Although the reception of officials had to be so polite, the county magistrate and Ouyang officials were too familiar with the pretty Jiang Zhi, as if they had just met him.

So the news that Fumantang was standing behind the county magistrate and the magistrate was spread, and it was widely spread.

Invisibly, those flies in the dark that were ready to move did not dare to act without authorization.

Standing behind this Fumantang turned out to be the county magistrate and Ouyang officials.

Who can afford this?
Jiang Zhi didn't know all this, she never thought of such a bad thing.
