Lao Gao glanced at Lu Ting with some consternation, quickly responded respectfully, and then went with Shopkeeper Li to pick someone.

said that it was a pick, but he didn't say what kind of person he wanted, and he didn't ask for it, obviously, this was a test to see if he could guess the master's mind.

If you do it well, you will gain greater trust in the future; If it is not done well, it is difficult to say, the deed of sale has not changed hands.

"Childe, how do you let him pick it, if it doesn't suit his heart, what should he do?" Fuzhi saw Shopkeeper Li going to make new tea, and couldn't help asking.

Buying a slave is a big deal, and it would be bad if you picked someone who was lazy and gluttonous, and who kept to himself.

When Fu Zhi spoke, the Chilian lady, who had been following beside her, also pricked up her ears, obviously interested in this issue.

Lu Ting gently put down the teacup in his hand and said casually: "Let him pick and choose, not let him buy it, see how he looks." ”

So that's the case, Fu Zhi nodded in a sudden understanding.

At this time, the shopkeeper Li came in with a pot of freshly brewed tea, and while changing the tea for Lu Ting, he said, "It's cold, Lu Gongzi, try this pot of freshly brewed tea." ”

Lu Ting picked up the teacup, blew it, took a small sip, and said casually: "This tea is good." ”

After being praised by Lu Ting, Shopkeeper Li felt very embarrassed, and said a little proudly: "Huoshan Yellow Bud and Liangshi Spring, this tea tastes better than the water from the well and the canal." ”

Huoshan yellow buds plus good stone springs?

Lu Ting just said politely, but he didn't expect Shopkeeper Li to take it seriously, and couldn't help but taste it again, it's really good, this tea is indeed better than his own brewing, and he couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper Li, what is the origin of this good stone spring?" ”

Shopkeeper Li was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Lu is the first to arrive in Chang'an, right?" ”

"I only arrived a few years ago, and I don't know a lot about Chang'an." Lu Ting said honestly.

At this time, Lao Gao had not yet picked a good person, and the shopkeeper Li said enthusiastically: "Master Lu, Chang'an City is so big, with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands, water is a big problem, and most of the water used by ordinary people is canal water and well water. ”

"Gongzi also knows that the canal water, there are pedestrian boats, and there are people who occasionally throw pollution, the water quality is average, as for the well water, all kinds of sewage in Chang'an City infiltrate each other, like the water in the palace, all send special personnel to take mountain spring water from Ziwuling, which is more than 100 miles away from Chang'an, and the dignitaries and nobles also have special personnel to carry water to Ziwuling for daily needs, but Ziwuling is too far away, ordinary people can't afford it, and those spring water eyes are also occupied by dignitaries."

"Fortunately, about twenty miles south of Chang'an, a mountain called Liangshi Mountain, which is also a vein of the Qinling Mountains, there is a spring named Liangshi Spring on the mountain, the water quality is clear and sweet, many people in Chang'an deliberately go to Liangshiling to get water, not to mention, use the spring water of Liangshi Spring to make tea and boil soup, the taste is much better than well water."

Lu Ting said with some sudden realization: "So that's the case, shopkeeper Li, I have learned." ”

When I lived in Chengfu, I felt that the tea was good, after moving out, the same tea just couldn't boil the same taste, I had a lot of things, and I didn't care, I felt that Chengfu had a person who specialized in making tea, and the tea art was very good, and the temperature and soaking time were well mastered, and now I understand that the root is on the water on which the tea is boiled.

By the way, I saw a wooden cart process early in the morning, and I was a guest at the time, so I didn't ask much, it is estimated that the spring water was transported back from outside the city.

It's quite exquisite.

Lu Ting looked at the tea in the teacup, and quickly had an idea in his heart.

While speaking, several mermaids rushed in, and Lao Gao chose a good person.

Lao Gao saluted Lu Ting: "Childe, the person you want has been selected, the old slave has been selected, please slap the palm." ”

"I've seen Lu Gongzi." A middle-aged woman and two maidservants saluted Lu Ting together.

Lu Ting raised his eyes and saw that the woman was about thirty-four or five, with a somewhat thin figure, wearing a coarse cloth dress, she looked a little shy when she saluted, and she looked very kind, the two maids were one big and one small, the big one was about twenty, she looked rough and rough, and the younger one was estimated to be only about fourteen or fifteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows.

Without Lu Ting opening his mouth to ask, Lao Gao took the initiative to introduce: "Son, the cook's name is Mei Niang, she has been in the kitchen for more than ten years, she has held two spoons, and she is good at boiling soup and snacks; Two maidservants, the eldest is called Erya, twenty-one years old this year, and the younger one is called Xiaoqing, fourteen years old this year, they are domestic slaves, they have been trained since they were young, and they are proficient in female red, needlework, and housework. ”

"Okay, that's it." Lu Ting made a decision on the spot.

Mei Niang is a little shabby, and her spirit is not very good, but she is very clean, although there is only a very cheap wooden hairpin, but her hair is neatly combed, and her clothes are also very clean, where she stands is neither humble nor arrogant, obviously she has confidence in herself, Lu Ting recognized her at the first glance of her.

In this environment, it is certainly not much worse to maintain personal hygiene and image.

Er Ya doesn't seem to be shrewd enough, rough hands, and suitable for doing some heavy work;

Xiaoyan looks very clever, and the person is also delicate, suitable for serving the master's daily life.

Like this kind of slave shop, when the slaves are not sold, most of them live together, and they will be familiar with each other, Lao Gao has been a housekeeper, just now I heard the shopkeeper Li said that Lao Gao has been here for three months, but two and a half months are recuperating from injuries, he must know the roots of these three people.

Shopkeeper Li clapped his hands and said: "Lu Gongzi not only sees people accurately, but also uses people without suspicion, these four people are all good candidates." ”

"The person is good, Shopkeeper Li can't sit on the ground and start the price." Lu Ting said jokingly.

Shopkeeper Li waved his hand and asked the four slaves to be brought down, and then he said: "Lu Gongzi is not an outsider, four, pack 120,000 yuan." ”

"The transaction is 120,000 yuan." Lu Ting only thought about it for a moment, and quickly responded cheerfully.

Now there are frequent wars, the market is not worried about slaves, the price is not high, a young and beautiful maidservant, the price ranges from 20,000 to 40,000, and the old high is worth 50,000 yuan, that is, Mei Niang, Er Ya and Xiaoqing pack 70,000 yuan, among which Xiaoqing is young, delicate, and still a virgin, the price will not be less than 40,000 yuan, and Mei Niang and Erya add up to only 30,000 yuan.

Before coming to Luoren's shop, Lu Ting took a small turn, and the general market still knows, 120,000 yuan is equivalent to 120 yuan, if it is sold normally, the price will not be lower than 160 yuan, and there is obviously the face of Changsun Chong in it.

took advantage of it, and then bargained it would be petty.

Shopkeeper Li didn't expect Lu Ting to be so cheerful, so he said yes and immediately asked people to go to the municipal office to go through the delivery procedures.

Dongshi has a perfect municipal office, Shopkeeper Li has a background, and he can be a person, and the procedures are very fast, only two quarters of an hour later, Lu Ting has four more deeds of sale.

It took one hundred and twenty yuan at once, and Lu Ting calculated that there were still a little more than one hundred and sixty-two yuan of all the belongings.

The day before yesterday, there were more than 1,200 yuan, and the money was piled up like a hill at home, and Fu Zhi was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, for fear that a gentleman on the beam would steal the money, and the money would come and go faster, and most of it would be lost all at once.

There were too many people, and the original rented house couldn't live in it, Lu Ting thought about it, bought some cleaning supplies in the market, and directly brought people back to the new house that had just been transferred.

Back at the new house, Lao Gao, Mei Niang, Er Ya and Xiao Qing stood in a row, and Lao Gao, who was standing on the left, said, "Please give Lang Jun a name and instructions." ”

Just now, Gongzi was an honorific title, but now that he has sold himself, he wants to change his name to Langjun.

When adding a mouth to the house, the first thing is usually to instruct, explain the rules clearly, and change the name to show the authority of the new owner.

Lu Ting nodded, looked at the four of them, and quickly said, "Lao Gao, Mei Niang, your name has been called for so long, I guess you are used to it, so use it." ”

"Xie Langjun." Lao Gao and Mei Niang said gratefully.

Although the name is just a code name, it represents the owner's respect and love for himself.

When you meet those owners who don't care, you can directly give a number, Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, or Big Red, Two Red, Three Red, etc.

"Xiaoyan will be changed to Siqi, and Erya will be changed to Pomegranate." Lu Ting casually came up with two relatively nice names.

Si Qi and Pomegranate hurriedly saluted: "Xie Langjun gives the name." ”

The two were very satisfied with the new name and hurriedly thanked them.

After changing his name, Lu Ting turned his head and said to Lao Gao: "Lao Gao, this house is newly bought, and it hasn't been cleaned properly, you take someone to clean it up, and you will live here at night." ”

There are too many people, I can't live, it's appropriate to move here, I heard the shopkeeper Li say that today is an auspicious day, suitable for adding a mouth, entering the house, as a young man in the new era, Lu Ting is holding the day as good as hitting the day, and he will move in tonight.
