The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 2 Huang Rong, met the young master

Standing at the door were a man and a woman.

The man looked to be about forty years old, with a fat figure and a bulging belly that had stretched out his clothes.

The woman looked to be sixteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, except for her big eyes, which sometimes flashed with a cunning look, giving her a lively and lively look.

While standing at the door of the tavern, the woman glanced at the middle-aged man next to her and lowered her voice: "Be careful what you say, otherwise, what will you do if you get poisoned and suffer a puncture in your intestines in a few days?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he quickly bent down and said, "I understand, I understand. Please rest assured, heroine."

But because his belly is too big, the middle-aged man's bending action looks extremely awkward.

After receiving the instructions, the middle-aged man stepped into the tavern under the signal from the woman's eyes.

When his eyes were on Li Changqing in the tavern, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

"Master Li."

In the tavern, Li Changqing slowly turned his head and looked around when he heard the sound coming from the door.

When he saw the two people entering the tavern, Li Changqing was slightly stunned.

He stood up slowly and gestured with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Zhou."

Zhou Yongfu, whose surname is Zhou, is a middleman in the tooth shop in Hanshan City. He specializes in slave trading and the recruitment of maids and attendants.

It is somewhat similar to the talent agency in the previous life.

But the difference is that in Hanshan City, the business of slave trading and servant recruitment is monopolized by Yahang.

Previously, Li Changqing entered the dental shop in order to ask the people at the dental shop to help find a maid and waiter in the store.

After letting Zhou Yongfu sit down, Li Changqing first glanced at the woman beside Zhou Yongfu who bowed her head and said nothing, then poured hot tea and handed it to Zhou Yongfu and asked, "Is Shopkeeper Zhou coming over now?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yongfu first took a sip of tea, then raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Of course it's for Young Master Li."

As he spoke, Zhou Yongfu pointed to the woman next to him and said, "Didn't Young Master Li look for a maid here at the Dental Clinic before? Just as Young Master Li left, a foreigner sold his maid to him to make money. Come to Yahang."

"I saw that although this girl is not particularly beautiful, she is good at being quiet and quiet. She just meets your requirements, Mr. Li, so I brought someone directly to Mr. Li's side."

After listening to what Zhou Yongfu said, Li Changqing turned his head and looked at the woman next to him.

In the sight, the woman may have known that she was about to be betrayed, and she lowered her head and sobbed softly.

Seeing this, Li Changqing thought for a while and then said: "I wonder how much Shopkeeper Zhou wants?"

Zhou Yongfu said with a smile on his face: "It's the same as the previous price. If the young master wants to recruit people, the typical price is three yuan a month. If the young master wants to buy people directly, the price will naturally be high. Same."

Finally, Zhou Yongfu glanced at the woman and said: "But the young master also knows that Huichun Tower in the city has been requesting a lot of people recently. Every time there are new people in Yaxing, they are directly booked by the people from Huichun Tower."

"Although this girl is not pretty, she is well-behaved and some customers will like her. If this girl's contract of prostitution is still in the teeth, she will be afraid if the people in Huichun Building find out about her."

Although the following words were not finished, the meaning could not be more obvious.

Hearing this, Li Changqing sighed in his heart.

A year ago, a Huichun Restaurant suddenly opened in Hanshan City.

Not only was it large in scale, but the flowers played there, and the beauties from Persia, caused the business of other brothels in the city to get worse and worse until they were annexed.

After that, it was not easy to find a maid in the dental shop.

Just like Li Changqing now, the dental clinic has been waiting for a month, and only one person was sent to him until today.

Although from Li Changqing's point of view, Zhou Yongfu had the motive to squeeze more money from himself, the situation was true.

In this regard, Li Changqing asked: "If I want to buy her deed of sale, how much does Shopkeeper Zhou want?" Zhou Yongfu smiled and raised his hand, interlacing his two index fingers to make a "ten".

Here in Hanshan City, one tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to spend three months frugally.

Ten taels of silver is already a huge sum of money for ordinary people.

However, ten taels of silver can buy a maid, and the price is quite reasonable.

After pondering for a moment, Li Changqing turned his head and looked at the woman beside him.

"Is there anyone else in the family?"

Facing Li Changqing's question, the woman said in a weak voice: "There used to be a father, but now I don't know where he should be."

"Can you do the usual housework?"

"meeting!"

"Can you cook?"

"I will too!"

After some simple questioning, Li Changqing nodded and looked at Zhou Yongfu and said, "Did Shopkeeper Zhou bring the contract of betrayal with him?"

Zhou Yongfu smiled and said: "Of course!"

With that said, Zhou Yongfu reached into his arms and took out a deed of betrayal and handed it to Li Changqing, obviously he came prepared.

After taking the deed of betrayal and opening it, Li Changqing whispered, "People from Bingzhou. Sixteen years old. Huang Rong, eh?"

However, when he saw the name of the woman next to him on the deed of prostitution, Li Changqing raised his eyebrows lightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

But when his eyes were on the woman sobbing softly beside him, Li Changqing shook his head again.

"Is it a coincidence?"

After muttering in his heart, Li Changqing got up and went back to the backyard to get ten taels of silver and handed it to Zhou Yongfu.

After accepting the money, the smile on Zhou Yongfu's face became more sincere.

But as if he thought of something, the smile on Zhou Yongfu's face suddenly froze, and then he cupped his hands and said: "The contract is completed, this girl will be Mr. Li's from now on."

After saying that, Zhou Yongfu said to Huang Rong beside him: "From now on, you will be Young Master Li's."

Hearing this, Huang Rong nodded slightly and said to Li Changqing: "Huang Rong, I have met the young master."

When Huang Rong's voice fell, Zhou Yongfu breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed his words.

"But this woman's luggage is still at the dental store. Could you please let her come and pick it up later, so as not to be thrown away as junk by the clerk at the dental store tomorrow."

Li Changqing nodded and said, "I understand."

After hearing this, Zhou Yongfu just stood up and cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first."

"Walk slowly!"

After sending Zhou Yongfu away, Li Changqing looked at Huang Rong, who was still bowing her head and saying nothing, shook her head and said, "Follow me!"

"Oh!"

After hearing what Li Changqing said, Huang Rong followed Li Changqing obediently.

However, when Li Changqing was walking in front with his back to Huang Rong, he didn't realize that Huang Rong behind him was also holding his hands behind his back, walking briskly on both feet, and raising his head high.

His big, smart eyes were full of cunning and pride, but where was the slightest bit of cowardice that had just appeared?
