Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 129 Adding more manpower (seeking pink)

"Well, my mansion is really short of a few people. I think these two little girls are pretty good. I don't know if you can't agree on the price, or there is something else."

"Ah, this, this..." Boss Wang regretted for a moment that he shouldn't have lowered the price too low. If he bought it at their five taels of silver, he could immediately sell it to Mr. Mu for 20 taels each.

He felt remorseful and anxious, but he still didn't dare to lie in front of Mu Ai, "Master Mu, to be honest, these two little girls haven't reached an agreement yet, and the price of these two is five taels. The two girls are too young to be worth the price, so they just froze here."

Mu Ai nodded, and glanced at the two little girls, one of them was obviously smarter, and immediately ran over and knelt down, crying, "My lord, I beg you to buy me and sister Qiu for five taels of silver." , both my grandfather and her mother are sick, and we are just waiting for this money to grab medicine and save our lives. We both know how to work, chop wood and cook vegetables, and eat less. Half a dollar a day is enough for dry illness. My son, please buy it It's us." As he said that, he began to kowtow, and the little girl named Qiu'er also realized at this moment, and quickly knelt down with her.

Their fathers looked at each other, with some hesitation in their eyes, and wanted to scold their daughter, but they didn't know what to say for a while, so they could only sigh long. The voice contained helplessness, contradiction, and hardship, which made the people around watching , My heart sank for a moment.

Mu Ai signaled Xiao An to help the two little girls up, and said to the boss Wang who was looking a bit ugly next to him, "Boss Wang, I really like these two little girls, so I might as well cut off a deal from Brother Wang." I'm really sorry, how about this, you help write two deeds, and I'll give you ten taels of silver to moisten your hands. Then I can choose a few people from you, how about it?"

Boss Wang was secretly annoyed, but after hearing Mu Ai's words, he immediately smiled and said he dared not dare, but he didn't say he didn't want money.

Mu Ai sneered, turned around and said to the two middle-aged men, "I bought your daughter, 20 taels of selling money each, death contract. Do you agree?"

The two men saw that he was wearing a brocade gown, the hair ring on his head, and the jade ornaments on his waist. They knew that he had met a wealthy family, and when they heard that the price of selling himself was 20 taels, they were both a little moved. But thinking about those women in the village who usually gossip about the private affairs of the big family, and fearing that it would be a bad thing for their daughters to be bought, they couldn't bear it, so they hesitated for a while.

Among the onlookers nearby, there was a quick-talking one who shouted, "What's wrong with these two guys, just now they begged Mrs. Wang for five taels of silver, but now the young master just gave him 40 taels of silver and he took Joe instead."

A few words made the two of them turn red, but they still refused to speak.

She didn't expect them to be like this, but Mu Ai was very happy.She vaguely guessed what the two of them were hesitating about, which also showed that they were not the kind of cruel people who completely ignored their daughter for money, but now that there are so many people, she couldn't say it bluntly, she was a widow.

I had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, I bought your daughters back to be my little daughter's personal servants. They come into my house, and they will not be treated badly for four seasons clothes, food and drink, and they will be paid every month. One or two months' money. As long as they obey the rules and take good care of my daughter, they can go home every few months after a year or so. Do you have any worries?"

The two men agreed when they heard that Mu Ai said that she was looking for a personal maid for the youngest daughter. Moreover, she promised in front of so many people that she would be treated so well when entering the mansion. Immediately knelt down and kowtowed again and again in agreement.

"Okay then, Boss Wang, I'll trouble you to write two deeds of sale."

Why can't Boss Wang say it badly? Not only did he get ten taels of benefits, but Mu Ai wanted to buy other people from him, so he warmly invited her into the yard to serve tea, and Mu San led the two fathers and daughters away. behind.

The crowd watching the excitement, seeing that the main character has left, dispersed while talking about this generous young man. Those who live in poverty should envy the two little girls. They are lucky to be bought by such a family. Not to mention, even for that one or two months of silver, I am afraid that a good and strong laborer will not be able to earn it even if he works hard for a month.

Boss Wang was anxious to make a deal for Mu Ai, and when the servant girl finished serving tea and snacks, he immediately wrote two death deeds, asked the two little girls and their father to press their fingerprints, and Mu San took the five-two-official silver coin Son, each family gave four.

The two little girls sent off their respective fathers wiping their tears, and stood timidly by the side with their heads bowed.

Mu Ai picked up the teacup slightly and touched his lips, put it down after finishing the etiquette, and asked Boss Wang to call out all the people in his place to choose.

Boss Wang secretly regretted it again, if he had known that this kind-hearted Mr. Mu was coming to patronize him, he would have bought more old and weak people back, wouldn't he have made an extra hundred taels of silver.But now it was too late to look for it, so I had to suppress these petty thoughts, and honestly drove out the twenty-odd people who were locked up in the two wing rooms.

Mu Ai looked at them one by one, and picked two half-year-olds who were about 11 or [-] years old. They were both handsome in appearance and fluent in answering questions. She thought that she could work as a waiter in the shop in the future.In addition, among the five or six younger boys, two around [-] years old were selected, one was dark and stable, the other was fair and delicate, but their eyes were also clear and clean, and they were going to be reserved for Dayu to be his servant and book boy. .Changle and Yiran stayed in the store to help, and there was no one to do laundry and cleaning in the house, so all the girls were asked to stretch out their hands, and picked out two [-] or [-]-year-old girls with clean fingers and ears come out.

"Okay, just these six people for the time being, Boss Wang, let's make a price." Mu Ai sat down again and started to talk about the price.

Boss Wang thought that Mu Ai would buy more than a dozen people this time as last time, but he didn’t expect to buy six. He was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, six is ​​not a lot. With the relationship, maybe there will be a big business in the future.

Immediately with a smile, he went up to refill the tea himself, and said, "It's not the first time Mr. Mu has come to take care of a small business. How can my boss Wang make Mr. Mu suffer. Well, these two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys It’s hard work, and the old price is 20 taels. These two eleven or twelve-year-old girls are only 12 taels. The two older girls are 15 taels, so the total is..."

"It's 94 taels in total." Mu San waited for him to calculate slowly, and directly said the amount of silver.

Boss Wang immediately praised in amazement, "This steward is really a genius, he can count so quickly. As expected of being in Mr. Mu's house, everyone is a talent."

Mu Ai smiled, accepting his flattery, and said lightly, "He is the shopkeeper of my store, so it's better to count."

"Oh? That little one really doesn't know Taishan. This little brother is still a shopkeeper. I don't know what kind of shop Mr. Mu has opened. When the little one has a chance, he will also go to support Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu doesn't want it." It’s good to despise the small and low status.” As soon as Boss Wang heard that Mu San was the shopkeeper, his tone immediately became more enthusiastic, and the number of people who resold from him every year was [-] if not [-], how could he still remember Mu San? It was he who bought it from the south at a low price with only two cakes.

"How could it be? I run a dim sum shop called Food for the Sky. Boss Wang has time to try it. The taste is not bad."

"Food is the sky?! Oh, it turns out that the dim sum shop that has become popular in the city recently was opened by Mr. Mu. The small one is really negligent, and he still serves such cheap dim sum. It really makes Mr. Mu laugh." Boss Wang immediately called people to leave After the snack was finished, Mu Ai reached out to stop him, and said, "Boss Wang, don't be busy, let's get down to business first. These six people are 94 taels of silver, plus the ten taels I promised just now, the total is [-] taels Mu San, give the money to Boss Wang for inspection."

Mu San immediately took out the money, but Boss Wang refused to ask for four taels, and Mu Ai didn't argue with him, so he thanked him immediately and asked Mu San to drive the car to bring the eight people back to Suiyuan for resettlement. , he doesn't need to take care of the rest, it's more important in the store.She walked back slowly with Ouyang.

One of Boss Wang's subordinates who just came back from the outside saw his boss being so polite, so he couldn't help leaning forward and asked, "Brother, what's the background of this person? He looks familiar."

Boss Wang watched the carriage turn the corner, and said in a deep voice, "The last time this person visited our business, you were not at home, and she bought a dozen people. I just found out today, I really lost my mind. This person is the righteous sister of Boss Xiao of Xiankelou. The 'food is the sky' that caused a sensation in the city recently is her property. It is said that even the governor went to congratulate her .”

"Boss Xiao's adopted sister? Ah, is she a woman?"

Boss Wang raised his hand and closed his brother's chin, and said as he walked back, "If this person comes again in the future, if I'm not here, you all have to look at me and take care of me."

"Yes, yes." The man agreed dazedly, and followed the yard all the way.

Besides, when Mu Ai and Ouyang were walking on the street, it was the end of the first lunar month, the weather started to warm up slightly, and the snow on the roadside showed some signs of melting.

While walking, Mu Ai browsed the shops on both sides of the street, thinking of the children waiting for her to go back in Suiyuan, she went to an embroidery shop and bought some purses with unique patterns and exquisite embroidery, and added two more for Dayu and Xinger. A set of ready-made clothes will be taken care of in the old house during the winter solstice. Suiyuan also has its own busy areas. Suddenly there are two more children, and the clothes will not be available for a while. It is better to buy a few ready-made sets and wear them first.

After coming out of the embroidery village, the two went back to eat, and Mu San was warmly greeting the guests.Mu Ai didn't stay too long, and asked Ke Xin to pack a box of candy and a box of snacks. Ouyang carried them as usual, and then went back to Suiyuan two streets away.
