Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 503 Sudden Killing Intent (2)
The market order was gradually restored, the grain and oil store opened, and people immediately returned home to pick up cloth bags.

There was a long queue at the gate of the food store.

"Father, don't sell me, I really don't eat much, I can take my brother with me!"

A seven or eight-year-old girl cried loudly and was carried by a rough man. She struggled hard and begged, "I won't eat candy anymore, I'll give it to my brother, woo woo!"

"Losing money, sell you so that your brother can have enough to eat!"

The rough man is determined, and there are not a few people who think the same as him. They sell their sons and daughters, but the number of daughters is obviously several times that of their sons. At this time, we can see people's patriarchal thinking again.

There are a few families who are not short of money, and there are poor men in the surrounding villages who have never been able to marry a wife. As long as they use food, they can exchange for a beautiful yellow-flowered girl.

These women are just like vegetables, they are selected by the visitors. If they are good-looking, they can be sold for a good price, and if they are stupid, no one cares about them.

"As long as one hundred catties of grain, I will sell my daughter!"

An old man was squatting on the ground smoking a pipe and pot, his whole body was covered with tattered patches, he wiped his tears, gritted his teeth, and finally roared.

"Haha, no one will take your daughter's money!"

People passing by sneered a few words, that girl was born to be big and thick, she could be eaten at first glance, and the war will start this year, and every family has no food left, so buying such a stupid girl will eat up the whole family's food in one meal.

"Father, why do you want to trade me for food?"

The girl didn't know why, so she took her father's arm, "Let's go home, I have to go to the river to fetch water. I have to go into the mountains to see if I can catch a rabbit."

"You can't get enough to eat in our house, father wants to entrust you to a good family."

The old man couldn't help crying bitterly, his daughter could eat, she was strong, and she was filial, even if he starved to death, he would not sell his daughter.

But there was no food left at home, and my daughter had to eat a few big steamed buns for a meal, so the family couldn't afford it!

The old man used one hundred catties of grain to set up a threshold. If he could afford the grain, his family had a strong foundation, his daughter could work in the past, and she could eat half full.

Maybe it was because of her eyes, Mo Yan liked this fat girl very much the first time she saw her, and she asked without thinking, "This old man, can one hundred catties of grain be exchanged for her?"

The old man didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to ask, he was holding the mentality of "pie in the sky".

When the people around saw that someone was coming forward, they immediately gathered around to watch the excitement.

"Well, this lady, the little girl has great strength and can work. She holds two buckets in one hand, and is good at washing, cooking, and feeding pigs."

After the old man finished speaking, his face turned red. He rubbed his hands. Seeing that the lady was dressed elegantly, she must be from a wealthy family. How could the family raise pigs? He was afraid that if he said something wrong, his daughter would lose a good opportunity.

"Ma'am, I can still hunt rabbits in the mountains and catch fish in the river."

The fat girl vaguely understood her father's good intentions, and took the initiative to fight for it, "Madam, why don't you buy me, I only eat six steamed buns per meal."

Mo Xiang opened her mouth wide, even Li De didn't eat six steamed buns, it's still enough for a meal.

"No, three is fine."

Fat girl scratched her head and smiled, there must be no less, otherwise it will be so uncomfortable to be hungry and unable to sleep at night.

"Ma'am, the youngest is Zhang Quan. This is my daughter, Fat Ya. Her home is in Dahe Village outside Fuyang City. She is the first one to enter the village."

As soon as the old man saw that he had a family, he immediately reported his family. There are two sons in his family, both of whom are married.

"Well, I want her."

Mo Yan pointed at Fat Ya, it's good to have such a maid, it doesn't matter if she is stupid, and she doesn't let Fat Ya go to march and fight, as long as she can work, be obedient, and do her job.

In the end, Mo Yan gave Zhang Quan two bags of grain and 20 taels of silver, and signed a death contract with Fat Ya. She promised that as long as she was in Fuyang, she would let Fat Ya go home and have a look at it every once in a while.

"Miss, do you want to change her name again?"

Mo Xiang's cheeks twitched, if she really brought this maid back to Beijing in the future, she must have an elegant name.

"Sister Mo Xiang, why do you call Madam Miss?"

The fat girl saw that although Mo Yan looked young, she was combing a woman's hair.

Mo Xiang was embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain to the stupid girl, so she spread her hands helplessly.

The surroundings were messy and noisy, and some people even made a big deal to grab the business. Some middlemen from other places seized the good business opportunity and sold dozens of little girls at a very low price.

After training, these little maids are sold to rich families as maids, worth at least 20 taels, and the cost of training is less than three taels of silver.

Those who look handsome and juicy may be sold to Hualou in the future.

So, sometimes, it's really not a good thing to be pretty without a backer.

The weather is hot, and Fuyang County after the rain is like a huge steamer.The traces of rainwater on the ground have already dried up, and the soles of the feet are scalding hot when they step on the ground.

Mo Yan waited in the shade of a tree and asked Mo Xiang to inquire about the current grain price.

There are only a few bags in stock in the yard, most of which are brown rice mixed with sand, and it takes two quarters of an hour to wash the rice.

The weather is hot, and the food can only be made for one meal, otherwise it will easily become sour.

Zhang Quan is a kind person. He heard that there is a shortage of workers in Mo Yan's house, so he has someone who can introduce him.

"Ma'am, our neighbor is Aunt Zhao who is very skilled!"

The fat girl smacked her lips, as if she was reminiscing about the food Aunt Zhao made. Aunt Zhao's man went to the south to serve as a soldier, and she was the only one with a son and a daughter at home. Life without a man was extremely miserable.

"Zhao's sister used to work in a restaurant in the city, but later she married into our village. She is a good worker, and her cooking is at the level of a chef in a restaurant!"

After Zhang Quan finished speaking, he tapped the cigarette pot. He realized that he had said something wrong, and made up his mind, "I have never been to a restaurant. I heard from the landlord in our village that there are weddings and funerals in the village. Aunt Zhao is always in charge of the cooking." .”

Zhang Quan didn't want to part with his daughter, and didn't leave. He wiped his sweat with his sleeve, looked down at his shoe with his toes exposed, shrunk, and looked embarrassed.

This is how poor people come here, but he suddenly felt that his outfit was desecrating the noble lady in front of him.

The cook can't just look for it. Mo Yan has just arrived in Fuyang County and is not familiar with it. It is more reliable to find a native countryman. She nodded and asked Mo Bing to investigate Aunt Zhao's identity behind her back.

A group of people came to the county government office, preparing to put on the fat girl's contract of prostitution.

The common people gathered around the gate of the yamen, asking the county magistrate to give an explanation. Now the price of rice and noodles has skyrocketed, which is several times the original price. If this continues, they will starve to death before the war between the two countries begins!
