Okay, I'll take a look first, and I'll tell you if it's something I like. ”

"Please!" Shen Yayu bowed slightly and made a gesture of please, leading Guo Mianmian to the five mothers-in-law to be picked.

The five mothers-in-law were all between forty and forty-five years old. At this age, it should be the time for children and grandchildren to enjoy their families, and for various reasons they are forced to sell themselves into slavery, just to get enough food and not starve to death on the streets.

The poor people in the world don't know how many, Guo Mianmian has no fun asking about their troubles, so he walked around the five people without moving, and finally pointed out the two neatly dressed mothers-in-law with no black mud in their fingernails, and asked: "Do you know how to do laundry, cooking, sprinkling, and sweeping?" ”

The two mothers-in-law who were named said honestly: "Yes, will." ”

Guo Mianmian nodded and looked at Shen Yayu who was waiting on the side: "These two look good, but it will be difficult to choose for a while, can you let them go to the kitchen to show their skills?" ”

Shen Yayu quickly said, "Yes, there is a kitchen inside." ”

The two mothers-in-law have just sold themselves and have no experience of working for the master's family, so one of the mothers-in-law surnamed Hu had the courage to ask Guo Mianmian's taste, and also said the dishes she was good at cooking, and tried her best to dump herself in front of Guo Mianmian's eyes.

Guo Mianmian ignored Mrs. Hu's question, and only let her do what she was good at, and told another taciturn mother-in-law surnamed An to do the same.

Hu and An Ermin were very angry, and soon selected the existing ingredients and began to wash and cut them.

Guo Mianmian stood at the door of the kitchen and investigated carefully, inadvertently asking them about the reason for selling their bodies, and without waiting for Hu and An to cook the dishes, they already had a suitable candidate in their hearts. When the two dishes were ready, she just took two bites with chopsticks, and then pointed to the mother-in-law surnamed An and said to Shen Yayu: "It's her!" ”

Mrs. An knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to Guo Mianmian: "Thank you, lady!" Thank you, lady! ”

It's no wonder that Mrs. An is so excited, you must know that they are too old and don't have much ability, and the big families who can buy slaves generally look down on them. Yaxing will not take risks for fear of being smashed in his hands, and will not sign a deed of sale with them.

In other words, the dental store only provided them with temporary shelter for them to eat and drink, and when they did have someone to ask for it, they took a cut of the money from the sale.

If these mothers-in-law are not bought within a month, they will not only have to leave the dental store, but also have to pay for the food they have eaten in the dental store for a month, and then they will only wander and beg, and their lives will not be as good as livestock.

An Pozi looks average, and even says that she is a little ugly, plus she is introverted and doesn't like to talk, she has been in the dental store for almost a month, and no one is willing to buy her. Seeing that a month is approaching, and no one wants her anymore, she will have to live on the streets, and now that Guo Mianmian is willing to buy her, there is only gratitude left in her heart.

Guo Mianmian didn't know the reason for this, and when she saw that Mrs. An's reaction was so big, she was frightened, and casually helped people up: "In the future, if you do things honestly, you will thank me, if you don't do it well, I will sell you too." ”

"Yes, yes, the old slave knows, the old slave knows." Mrs. An hurriedly responded, but her heart was completely calm.

She doesn't have great skills, and her big hope after coming to Yaxing is to find a kind master to do things honestly, and she doesn't have any thoughts on the side. The master's willingness to help her personally shows that the master is a kind person, and she will be fine if she is obedient.

Seeing this, Guo Mianmian felt a little more freehand in her heart, and asked Shen Yayu about the value of Mrs. An.

Here is a reminder that the weight unit [jin] found in the text adopts the contemporary base system, so it is ten, not sixteen ha, and one catty is equal to ten taels

An Pozi did not sell herself to the tooth shop temporarily, and the value was the same rule as the tooth shop, in case someone shouted the price indiscriminately and ruined the reputation of the tooth shop. An ordinary mother-in-law like Mrs. An is far less valuable than a girl who is six or seven years old and can be trained from a young age, most of them are between five and eight taels of silver.

In view of the fact that An Pozi has no special skills, and she will not be able to do anything, it is very difficult to get rid of it, and the tooth line is set at the bottom price - five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver is very cost-effective, Guo Mianmian didn't even pay back the price, Yiyue took out five taels of silver and handed it to Shen Yayu. Seeing this, Shen Yayu immediately took them to the yamen to settle the deed of sale of An Pozi.

Shen Yayu was an acquaintance of the Yamen, and soon got the deed of sale of An Pozi. As for Mrs. An's five taels of silver, the only thing An Pozi could get was three taels of silver, and one or two and a half cents was the rebate for Shen Yayu and Mrs. An's cooking expenses for nearly a month.

Guo Mianmian was not surprised, businessmen pursue profits, and the continuous business of the population is a huge profit; Guo Shu smacked his tongue, and his favor towards Shen Yayu instantly fell to zero.

Shen Yayu seems to be kind, but in fact it is very eye-catching, and he can see through Guo Shu's mind at a glance. He didn't answer anything, and said to Guo Mianmian kindly: "Guo Niangzi is a pleasant person, buy someone to buy property another day, and hope that Guo Niangzi will take care of one or two, and the contemptible person will make Guo Niangzi freehand." ”

Guo Mianmian porridge deals with clever people, and this time the business is also very comfortable, and when he heard this, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Naturally, I also hope that the leader of Shen will give me a good price for this poor person, so that I can also get the cheapness of the leader of Shen." ”

Not surprisingly, next year, the family will buy a field property, and then it will be necessary to ask Shen Yayu for help. Now put this on the bright side, it can be regarded as befriending the other party in advance.

Shen Yayu was overjoyed, a fine light flashed in his delicate eyes, and he smiled even more kindly: "It should be so, the contemptible people are waiting here for Guo Niangzi to come to the door." ”

As a farewell to Shen Yayu, the Guo family brothers and sisters took Mrs. An to the ox cart and went straight to the residence of Yunxiao Academy.

On the way, Guo Shu glanced at Mrs. An, who was sitting silently at the back of the car, and asked her sister-in-law in a low voice: "What's so special about this mother-in-law, if I, I will choose Mrs. Hu." Hu Pozi looked at her as good as she could speak, and her consciousness was also drawn, and she looked at the geometry compared to this. ”

Guo Mianmian glanced at his eldest brother: "We are looking for someone who cooks and washes clothes, it is enough to be honest, what do you want to do so pleasing to the eye." ”

Mrs. Hu is a good woman, that is, she has a pair of eyes looking at the restlessness, and she doesn't look like a person who will do things with confidence. She said that her husband disliked her, and he divorced her because he fell in love with a younger and more pleasant widow, who knows if it was true?

Instead of choosing a stirring spirit who is about restless, it is better to choose an Pozi who can be seen through at a glance and is easy to control.

Guo Shu listened, or he didn't know his sister's intentions, in his opinion, if there was a better one, it would be cost-effective to choose the better one. My sister always has her own way of doing things, and he didn't continue to ask any more questions.

……

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and the Mu family has been talking about the family for a long time, and when he saw the eldest son and eldest daughter, he was very happy, especially after learning that An Pozi was the one who was bought by the eldest daughter to replace herself, and she said a few "yes" in a row.

The mother and wife got together and chatted for a while, seeing that the sun was about to rise overhead, and in half a time, Guo Yu's uncle and nephew were about to return from school to eat, Guo Mianmian grabbed Mu Shi, who was about to stand up and cook, and pointed to the kitchen and handed over to Mrs. An: "You will make lunch, just make a few dishes with the ingredients that the old lady bought in the morning." ”

Mrs. An urgently needed to gain a foothold in the Guo family, and when she got the first thing assigned by her master, she hurriedly responded: "Yes, big girl." With that, she bowed her head and retreated.

"Hey, this woman is polite and good, and she looks like she is also an insider." Mu Shi looked at An Pozi's back and couldn't help but praise it.

"I have been trained in the dental shop, otherwise it is easy to get in the way of the eyes of the master, and if you are not lucky, it will even bring tiredness to the dental shop." The original body was in the hands of human teeth, Guo Mianmian knew the doorway in the tooth shop very well, and easily answered with his mother.

After hearing this, Mu Shi happened to think that his eldest daughter had sold her body and suffered, and her heart suddenly ached, and she had more pity for Mrs. An: "She is also a thin person, so our family will treat her better in the future!" ”

Guo Mianmian was a little helpless, thinking that she might remind her mother-in-law: "Mrs. An is a subordinate bought by our family, just don't treat her harshly, if you are too good to her, I am afraid that she will not be able to put her position clearly, and she will not have to think about it, so it will hurt her." ”

The people's morale is unpredictable, whether it is the original body or herself, she has seen a lot and knows how to look at a person properly. Now An Pozi is disciplined and self-conscious, and she is grateful to her family in her heart. If they treat her as family, no one knows if they will raise her heart after a long time.

Mu has lived dozens of years older, and he has seen many people and things. In the past, I had the advantage of pity for Mrs. An, but now when I heard my daughter say this, I thought that my previous thoughts were inappropriate, so I quickly changed my words: "Then what should I do, I will not treat her harshly at the mercy of our family." ”

Guo Mianmian smiled and said his proposal: "Mrs. An has just arrived at our house, I am afraid that some things are not very clear, if it is convenient for my mother, I will tutor her for a while, and if there is no problem, let her stay here to take care of the daily life of the younger brothers, so that you can rest assured." ”

Mu Shi glanced at the kitchen and whispered: "There is nothing disadvantageous about mother, even if you don't mention mother, you want to do this." When your little brother arrived at the link, his mother didn't feel at ease and handed him over to an outsider to take care of. Kunkun and Xiaoshan are little dolls again, and I'm afraid that they will be fooled! ”

Did the mother and son think of going together, Guo Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Mother, don't be too nervous, now the second brother also lives in this courtyard, at least for two to three months, and he can usually watch some of them, and he won't teach the younger brother that they will suffer." ”

It's okay not to mention Guo Lin, but when he mentions Mu's family, he can't help but complain: "He's a busy man, he can't even see a shadow when he goes out early and returns late every day, who dares to expect him." ”

When Guo Mianmian heard it, he didn't know what to say. I feel sorry for my second brother's hard work, and I happen to use this method of complaining to say it, alas, I don't understand!

It didn't take long for Guo Yu's uncle and nephew to return with a meal. Knowing that the newly bought An Pozi would take care of herself instead of her mother (grandmother), the three uncles and nephews did not react much, but they showed reluctance in their words.

Mu was reluctant, but she wouldn't stay in the city to cook continuously, so she could only be comforted dryly, and forced each other's reluctance to suppress it.

Four dishes and one soup were served on the table, and An Pozi stood aside nervously waiting for the master's criticism.

In fact, Mrs. An doesn't have to be nervous at all, Guo Mianmian and the others have lived a hard life in the past, the rice is not hard like a stone, and the salt in the dish will not kill people, so they can eat it fragrantly.

What's more, Mrs. An has a few ordinary ingredients, and the four dishes and one soup she makes are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, although the taste is not particularly good, and it is not even as good as Mu's, it can also be called a sweet purpose, at least the amount of food of Guo Yu's uncle and nephew is no different from the past.

Guo Mianmian's first test for An Pozi's configuration is such an easy history. This made An Pozi breathe a sigh of relief, and glorified the master she had met to be well fed.

Inquiring about the second brother's study progress is also something Guo Mianmian has to do, and he didn't go back the next day. is that there is one more An Pozi, and the rented small courtyard is not enough to live, or she is with
