A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 119 Teeth
There are two types of carriages.

One is commonly used by wealthy families when traveling and has a more complicated craftsmanship; the other is used by servants in wealthy families and has a very simple craftsmanship.

The servants often used a small carriage with curtains in front and back.

What Boss Jiang wanted was to have curtains in front and back.

After he agreed on the style with the middle-aged man, he paid a deposit of two taels first. When he came to pick up the item ten days later, he would pay the remaining eight taels of balance.

An ordinary small carriage costs only five taels of silver, but the Jiang family wants to make a big one, which is equivalent to two ordinary carriages, and the price is only half as expensive.

But this price is also acceptable to Boss Jiang.

After the people from the horse shop measured the size of the cart, Boss Jiang drove the cart and took his daughter to the West Market.

There were a lot of pedestrians on the road at this moment, so Boss Jiang couldn't help but slow down the speed of his carriage.

Jiang Yunjin sat in the carriage, looking around with curiosity.

Seeing everything is fresh.

The car gradually slowed down, and Jiang Yunjin's attention was attracted by two people on the street.

There were two women.

A girl wearing a pink jacket and skirt, with a pretty face but a very arrogant personality, which completely destroyed her pretty face. At this moment, she was arrogantly scolding the woman standing next to her.

The woman was wearing a grey coat and skirt, her body was covered with patches and her cheeks were dirty, but her beauty could not be concealed.

At this moment, she was carrying a small basket on her arm with a lot of small items in it. When she saw the woman next to her wanted to buy something, she could only lower her head helplessly and listen to the woman's scolding.

When Jiang Yunjin passed by the two people, she memorized their appearances. She never had a good impression of spoiled and willful women.

On the contrary, the one who swallowed his anger in silence was a little surprising.

What was surprising was not that the other party swallowed his anger, but that a look of unwillingness to admit defeat flashed in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, it was clearly captured by Jiang Yunjin.

interesting.

It was half an hour later when they arrived at the West City Slave Market.

Boss Jiang came to a place marked as a slave trading company, which was the largest slave market.

As soon as he entered the pawnshop, a smart servant came forward to greet him. He did not look down on him because he was not dressed luxuriously. Instead, he treated him very warmly.

Boss Jiang also mentioned the purpose of his trip.

When the waiter heard that they were there to buy someone, his eyes lit up immediately and he treated Boss Jiang and his daughter more sincerely.

The servant welcomed them into a private room, served them tea, and then asked the father and daughter to wait for a while.

Soon, the door of the box was pushed open again, and an elderly matchmaker walked in.

The matchmaker smiled when she entered the room, and silently looked at the two of them. Soon the smile on her face became more sincere.

"Sir, are you planning to buy a few servants? Do you want both maids and servants?"

"I want to buy four servants and two guards. If there is a skilled maid, I can hire one! The servants must be smart, and the guards must also know martial arts!"

Boss Jiang stated his request.

The matchmaker listened with a smile on her face. After hearing that Boss Jiang's request was so simple, she promised it immediately.

Then the matchmaker took the father and daughter to the backyard of the matchmaker's shop.

At that time, there were three rows of men standing in the backyard, and there were also a few servants in dark clothes standing nearby, watching the group of people.

When the matchmaker arrived, the servant walked up to her and whispered a few words to her before stepping aside.

"Sir, take a look. If you like any of them, just pick them out. If not, I will ask someone to bring another batch."

After the matchmaker finished speaking, Boss Jiang carefully looked at the group of people in front of him. Almost all of them were men. They were pale and thin, and their clothes were full of patches. When they saw Boss Jiang looking at them, their numb faces became more energetic.

They all longed for new owners to buy them.

After taking a look around, Boss Jiang shook his head at the matchmaker, obviously not interested.

The matchmaker was not angry and immediately ordered someone to bring up another batch.

They have no shortage of talent in the dental industry.

Among the people he brought the second time, Mr. Jiang selected two who were obviously capable of working.

Then the matchmaker asked someone to bring up two more teams and picked one person from each team. Like the previous two, they were both good workers who could do the job.

I don’t know if it’s because Boss Jiang has a vicious eye, but the four servants he chose were all indentured to death.

After the servants are selected, the next step is to choose the guards.

Guards are the most popular these days.

The matchmaker said that one guard would cost twenty taels of silver.

Boss Jiang said frankly that money was not a problem, but he wanted a death contract.

After learning what a death contract was, Boss Jiang started thinking about making a death contract.

A death indenture is one that can never be redeemed.

This kind is the safest.

When the matchmaker saw that Boss Jiang was a rich man, she immediately agreed and quickly ordered her servant to bring a group of strong men.

Afterwards, Boss Jiang picked two people to compete with each other in boxing and kicking, but without exception, they were defeated by Boss Jiang.

Boss Jiang doesn't have any advanced martial arts skills, but he does have practical experience accumulated from many years of hunting.

Those who couldn't defeat him in one move were almost all ignored by him.

It was not until he met someone who could fight him to a draw that he was satisfied and took the two of them.

Finally, there are the maids.

After thinking for a while, Boss Jiang asked the matchmaker, "As for the remaining matchmakers, I'll ask you to recommend some. You've traveled a lot and have a lot of experience, so you'll definitely be able to help me find the right one!"

Boss Jiang complimented the matchmaker, which made her smile happily.

After Boss Jiang praised her like that, someone actually wanted to recommend the matchmaker.

"What a coincidence! This morning, a family wanted to sell their property. There was an old mother, a young couple, and a child in the family. The whole family was sold for only ten taels!"

As the matchmaker spoke, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

Seeing this, Boss Jiang asked, "What's going on? What's the inside story of this family?"

"It's all caused by natural disasters! Many places have suffered from severe droughts, and my family can't even eat. I originally came to Beijing to visit my relatives, but they had already moved away. And my grandson happened to have a high fever, so I had no other choice but to sell my whole family! I only have one request, that the family not be separated!"

If a family is not separated, it will be a headache for the matchmaker.

The wealthy families are extremely strict in selecting people. First of all, there are few people they like, let alone those with families.

The matchmaker was always worried that she would end up with a bad deal, and thought that if she really ended up with a bad deal, she might as well just stay in the matchmaker.

Who would have thought that today I would meet someone who was looking for a wife, so I simply recommended this person to Boss Jiang.

After hearing this, Boss Jiang thought for a moment, then lowered his head and asked the girl standing next to him. After getting the girl's consent, he spoke to the matchmaker.

"But I need to take a look at the person first. If the whole family is honest, then I will buy it."
