Chapter 289
The three of them drank wine and broke up the meeting.
Erlang pulled Lan Niang to discuss: "I'm thinking about buying a house and coming back." According to my mother, they bought the next person like this. The cooking that I bought back to cook, as well as our tea garden, also have to be watched. I also have to collect mountain goods. You're going to give birth too. Within a year or two of the birth of the child, you are afraid that you will not be able to free your hands. If we buy them back, we can also make it easier. ”
"How much does that cost?" Lan Niang asked.
Erlang smiled and said, "I also buy five or six people." But not so many women. We don't have much work in our family. The woman bought too much and went home for rice. In this way, it will be more expensive, I inquired, about a hundred taels. ”
"So expensive?"
"It's still cheap. If you buy it, you have to raise it. I'm going to buy the death deed, and buy it back, and my ancestors have been slaves of our family for generations. You don't have to pay for it yet. The subordinate who buys the live deed is cheap, but he has to pay the wages. It's better to buy the death deed directly and buy it out in one go. Jiro said excitedly.
Lan Niang took out the money box and gave it to Erlang. Erlang counted out a hundred taels of silver, and put the money box for Lan Niang.
With the money, Erlang Meizi went to the tooth line. A tangled face in the selection of people. According to his money, he can buy a family of six, an old couple, a son and a daughter-in-law, and two little grandchildren.
Only the son and daughter-in-law are in the prime of life, and they are all thin and weak. The two little grandchildren are only about five or six years old, and they can't do any work at all. The old couple is still in their fifties. At this age, he is about fifty years old, and he is almost dying. It's really a toothache to choose, and Erlang hasn't decided yet.
The person in the tooth shop will look at the face, and another introduction: "If you don't like it, there is still one here." A family of three. You have a look at this. ”
Ya Po showed the booklet to Erlang and said, "This family of three also costs a hundred taels of silver." The old man is forty-five years old and can catch a car. His eldest son was twenty-five years old, and he was in the prime of life. His youngest son was ten years old and could run errands. You add some money, I have an eighteen-year-old girl with a death contract of twenty taels here. You buy it back and give it to your eldest son as a daughter-in-law, and when you give birth to a son, you can have a slave again. What a bargain! ”
Erlang yelled: "One hundred and twenty taels only buy four people!" ”
Ya Po smiled and said, "That's not how the account is calculated." This old man will be able to do it for years. This is still in the prime of life. This little one will be able to do it in two years. What a good labor. If it's too expensive, you can buy it for a family of six. ”
Tangled and entangled, Erlang sighed: "It's too expensive!" ”
Ya Po smiled and said, "If you buy this for a family of six, I will give you five taels of silver cheaper." If you buy this family of three, you can buy another girl. I'll give you ten taels less. But for the contract, you have to pay for it yourself. ”
Erlang glanced at Ya Po and said flatteringly: "You are less careful about the family of three." If you have less than ten taels, I will go to the yamen, let alone ten taels, twenty taels will be pasted in. Yamen, you have a way, do something good. You are less than five taels, you go to the yamen, you run. You're capable. ”
"Okay." Ya Po should take a bite.
Erlang suddenly felt a little cold.
Sure enough, it's cheap and not good! The girl, who was said to be eighteen years old, looked to be eleven or twelve, and was short and thin.
Erlang pointed and said, "She's eighteen years old, you lie." ”
"She's just short, ugly, and skinny, so she gave you twenty taels of silver to take away." Otherwise, I can give you a discount. Ya Po said confidently.
