It is not easy for farmers to drink wine, so no one will be willing to drink in large gulps, just a little sip.

Xiuxiu couldn't help but giggle when she looked at the two of them frowning and pursing their lips because of the spicy wine.

Lin Ruan rubbed her head and beckoned everyone in the Zhou family: "Come, everyone eats vegetables, otherwise it will be cold in a while." ”

When the meal was over, it was already half an hour later, and Lin Zhong and Uncle Zhou were both drunk.

Lin Ruan didn't worry about letting Lin Zhong continue to guard here at night, and wanted him to go back to his house to sleep, but he was not happy, patted his chest and said that he was not drunk, and he could take care of the things in this yard.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be very drunk, Lin Ruan had to go with him.

Early the next morning, when Lin Ruan made breakfast and went to call Lin Zhong, he was still snoring profusely.

Xiuxiu lay on the side of his bed and shouted for a long time, but he didn't wake up, but was sprayed with a mouthful of stinky wine.

"Sister, Daddy stinks."

Xiuxiu pinched her nose in disgust, her little brow knotted.

Lin Ruan smiled and pinched her nose and carried her to Zhou's house.

"Auntie, I have to go to the county today, so please help me keep an eye on it. The leftover meat from yesterday is enough to eat at noon today, and I have kneaded all the steamed noodles, and I can steam them when the noodles are opened. ”

"Cheng, you can go to work with peace of mind, I am watching at home, and I can't go on a bad trip."

Lin Ruan thanked him with a smile and confessed again, "If my father wakes up, please trouble my aunt to make him a bowl of sugar water to drink, that one can relieve his headache after drinking." ”

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she shook her head helplessly.

"When your uncle got up in the morning, he also had a headache, and he was lying crooked in bed at this moment, and I will make him a bowl in a while. According to me, leave them alone, people who are dozens of years old can't even open their mouths. I didn't listen to any persuasion last night, I had to drink, obviously the amount of alcohol was so shallow, and I had to slap my swollen face and become fat. It's time for them to have a good pain. ”

Lin Ruan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

After coming out of Zhou's house, Lin Ruan went straight to the county seat.

She's going to buy someone at the Tooth Shop today.

Coming from the end of the world, she has no resistance to spending money to buy people. I even think it's reasonable.

She doesn't believe in loyalty for no reason, and only by holding the other party's life and death in her own hands can she guarantee that person's absolute loyalty.

When he arrived in the county, Lin Ruan went directly to the previous tooth shop.

As soon as Zhang Yapo saw Lin Ruan, she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, "Miss Lin is here, hurry, please come inside." ”

As he spoke, he shouted at the guy in the house, "Hurry up and serve tea to Miss Lin." ”

Lin Ruan entered the room and sat down on the chair, and Zhang Yapo sat on the chair next to her, smiling and asking; "What does Lin Ruan want to add when he comes back this time?"

"Add a few subordinates, I wonder if Ya Po has any use here?"

"Yes, yes. What does Miss Lin want, you can learn it from my wife, and I will guarantee that you will find a satisfactory one. ”

At this time, the man brought the tea, Lin Ruan took it, brushed the tea leaves floating on the tea soup with the lid of the cup, and then wiped his lips.

Putting down the teacup, he said slowly: "I need to be good at cooking, there is no limit to men and women, and there is no age limit, but the hands and feet must be clean, and the work must be neat." In addition, I also need a few errand boys, and the sweet-eyed work will come to trouble. Just a few conditions. ”

Zhang Yapo smiled and clasped her palms, "Well, I'll bring the right person, girl, you choose it yourself." ”

Lin Ruan nodded and asked Zhang Yapo to arrange it.

After a while, Lin Ruan was invited to the backyard, where a group of slaves of various ages and ragged clothes were already standing.

These people are numb, yellow and thin, and their hair is like grass, and they look like they have been malnourished for a long time, but the clothes on their bodies are quite clean, and they are not as dirty and smelly as Lin Ruan imagined.

Zhang Yapo smiled and said: "Miss Lin, look at it, the people who meet your conditions are here, you can ask them face to face, and then make plans." ”

Lin Ruan looked at those people and said in a loud voice: "Those who are proficient in cooking, stand up." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and six people stepped forward.

Of the six, five were women in their thirties and forties, and only one was a man in his early forties.

The man was so thin that he coughed from time to time.

Lin Ruan looked at the people carefully, and asked, "Tell me what you know." ”

A shrewd-looking woman stepped forward and said, "If you go back to the girl, the slave is good at pastry white cases, as long as it is a famous snack for the girl, the slave and the maid will make it." ”

Lin Ruan nodded and let the other woman speak.

"Slaves and maids are good at medicinal food."

"The slave is good at Huaiyang cuisine."

……

All five women reported their strengths, and now only the man remained.

"What about you, what will you do?"

The man half-bowed his waist, "If you go back to the girl, the small red and white cases are quite good." ”

Lin Ruan smiled, "But the people of Shudi? ”

The man's waist didn't dare to straighten for half a minute, "Back to the girl's words, exactly." ”

Lin Ruan smiled and nodded, "That's okay, it's you." ”

I thought that if she picked someone, Zhang Yapo would be very happy, but who knew that she had a sad face.

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows: "Ya Po, is there anything wrong with this person?" ”

Before Zhang Yapo could speak, the man coughed a few times and fell to his knees with a plop, "Girl, little courage, beg the girl to be kind and buy the villain's family together." The villain swears that he will repay your great kindness as a horse back then. ”

Lin Ruan looked at Zhang Yapo, "What's going on?" ”

Zhang Yapo glared at the man dissatisfiedly and explained apologetically.

"Miss Lin, this person's name is Jiang Yiping, a servant of a Shu merchant's family, the former owner was in trouble, and most of the servants were sold. His daughter-in-law contracted the disease on the way to be resold, and she has not recovered, and she has dragged a pair of children, and he is also a dead man, and he does not want to be separated from his wife and children, so these hands have changed hands several times and come to me. ”

After Lin Ruan heard this, he turned his head and asked Jiang Yiping, "What disease does your daughter-in-law have?" ”

Jiang Yiping's face was full of sadness, "It's not a serious illness, it's just that I'm infected with wind and cold, but because my body has always been weak, and I can't afford to treat her, so I haven't been getting better, and the more it drags on, the more serious it gets." ”

Lin Ruan looked at Zhang Yapo and asked her if she was real.

Zhang Yapo nodded, "It's really just a cold, but his family's body is too bad, and it has dragged on for so long, so it's not easy to treat." ”

Lin Ruan asked again, "How old are his two children?" ”

"My daughter is nine years old, and my son is seven years old. They are not very old, but the old woman sees that they are two sensible people who have been guarding their mother. ”

Jiang Yiping lay on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Ask the girl for mercy and buy the villain's family, the villain's family vows to repay the girl's kindness with a grass title." Ask the girl to have mercy and buy us. My lady is also very good at cooking, and her skills are better than mine. ”

He had to find the Lord's house for the family as soon as possible so that he could get out of this tooth shop. Only by going out from here can his mother-in-law have a chance to live.
