Malatang's business is becoming more and more stable, and it has gradually had a number of regular customers, although it is not as popular as before, but the business is still very good.

Seeing that Ming's mother was able to turn around alone, under Aunt Peng's worried gaze, Mingxiu began to behave again.

Of course, this is still based on the fact that Xie Zhan took the money to buy the drawings, so she has the capital to think of something else.

"Mother, we can go and ask the price to see if we can open a food shop in the city."

Ming's father is very stable, even if Mingxiu doesn't go to see it for a long time, it's fine.

It's not that there is no one who comes to the door to make trouble, but Xie Zhan has already ordered Jing Zhaoyin's matter, who dares not to obey?

Basically, all the troublemakers were solved by the officials, and what Ming's father had to do was just occasionally stuff some errand money when the officials came to help.

Father Ming was actually busy making things for a large part of his time, so much so that he didn't really want to stay in the shops in the city now.

He has told Mingxiu more than once that if he wants to find someone to watch the shop, he can just do carpenter work at home with peace of mind.

Anyway, the things in the field have been almost renovated, and the rest of the sowing and watering is done by Ming Mu.

Hearing his father talk about this, Mingxiu remembered the matter of buying people again.

What is needed in the shop is a talent who is in charge of his own side, such a person often has a lot of thoughts, that is, he has the ability, and Mingxiu also has to be careful about whether the other party will have two hearts.

It shows that the heart of the villain is good for anything, after all, wealth is moving, and there will inevitably be hidden dangers for a long time.

Instead of recruiting, it is better to buy people directly.

But Mingxiu didn't go to the slave market too many times, so she thought about buying everyone who needed it at once.

In this way, you can save a lot of things at home.

The matter that was decided early on, the family had no opinion.

Ming's mother closed the stall early, and after asking Aunt Peng to bring back their small cart, the mother and daughter went straight to the slave market.

In these years, it is easy to buy someone, but Mingxiu's requirements are a little rare.

She wanted men and women who could read.

It's okay for a man to say, but for a woman......

Even in ordinary peasant families, there are not many women who know how to read, let alone those who can't survive these days and can only sell themselves into slavery.

After shopping around the slave market, Mingxiu only found two little girls who knew how to read and looked pleasing to the eye.

"Xiu'er, what are you doing buying a little girl who can read?"

Ming's mother really can't see the idea of a transparent show, and the man who wants to read is still easy to say, after all, he has to send a few people to take care of the store for Ming's father.

The woman......

Even if Ming's mother herself is a woman, she also admits the importance of women's literacy, but she doesn't understand why Mingxiu requires the subordinates bought by the family to also recognize words.

In her opinion, those girls' families are all doing chores at home, and it is really unnecessary to read or write.

"Naturally, I bought it back and became a cook." Mingxiu also didn't understand why Ming's mother was puzzled, "Mother, you can't always spend your whole life in the kitchen." ”

Ming's mother has been busy all her life, and now she is old and has not enjoyed any blessings, she has been working all the time, Mingxiu is a daughter, where is there nothing to worry about?

But there has been no good solution before, after all, the conditions at home are there, that is, everyone has to work, otherwise they will not be busy at all, and there is no way to guarantee their livelihood, so how can they enjoy happiness?

Now that she can live a good life, of course Mingxiu wants to make Ming's mother more comfortable and live a leisurely retirement life with all kinds of flowers and vegetables.

“…… Okay. ”

Ming's mother actually didn't think that cooking was a tiring job, in fact, she enjoyed a tiring life, which made her feel fulfilled and felt that she was still a useful person even when she was old.

But in the end, it was her daughter's carefulness, and Ming's mother couldn't bear to refuse.

In the end, the mother and daughter bought a family, there are elderly mothers-in-law, middle-aged Han women, and young girls and children, and a few juniors who showed Ming's father the storefront, all of whom are literate, Mingxiu looks pretty good, although these people can't be on their own now, but if they are trained for a year or two, Ming's father should be able to retire.

Finally, there is the young girl who can read.

There were only five suitable ones in the entire slave market, and when they went out, they looked restless with wandering eyes, so they bought three.

Literate slaves are much more expensive than non-literate ones, but looking at the value for money, Mingxiu didn't say anything.

After taking these people to buy cloth and food, he rented two more cars and brought them back.

When the group arrived home, many villagers from Peony Village came out to see the excitement.

Their family has only moved here for a short time, and they basically don't know each other, and they don't even know the basic conditions of the Ming family, but they only know that the couple moved over with a girl.

Now that their family is so rich, some families with many children are moved.

Mingxiu's appearance is good, and the conditions of the family are even more favorable in Peony Village, when she first moved here, many people inquired about her relatives, and most of them were dispelled by Ming's mother's words.

Now seeing that their family is actually a landlord-like figure, those who have been dissipated have begun to live again.

Such a rich family, even if one son is sent out, other sons will still be able to get rid of it in the future, right?

In the past few days when they have settled down in their house, the number of people who inquire about Mingxiu has begun to increase again.

But that's all for later.

Mingxiu and Ming's mother brought people home, and they needed to make their own clothes and bedding, but fortunately, the beds were ready-made, otherwise they would only have to lay them on the floor for a few days.

Girl's needlework is a compulsory course, not all girls in every family can not learn needlework like Mingxiu.

A simple futon couldn't have been easier for these girls.

After the bedding is ready, he can also assign people to help Mingmu cook.

When the young daughter-in-law saw that the master's family was going to cook, she was very frightened.

"Madam, let the slave cook, Madame go and rest."

Where do these subordinates have the blessing of eating the master's craft?

I just came, and no one knows what the temperament of this owner is, but don't you have to be careful?

Ming's mother looked back and chuckled, "It's okay, let your mother-in-law light the fire, and you can do it next to you." ”

This daughter-in-law has no name, only Sanniang, and her mother-in-law is the same, only called Yuan Pozi, and her name is unknown.

In addition to the people who often follow him, Mingxiu has no intention of changing the name of every subordinate.

Although Sanniang was frightened, she didn't dare to resist the master's wishes, so she could only accept it worriedly.

Even if Ming's mother is kind, she doesn't have the heart to cook for these subordinates, so she let the kitchen out after making her family's meals and let Sanniang operate it by herself.

Compared with Mingxiu's desire to cultivate those little girls to be cooks, in fact, Ming's mother is more inclined to Sanniang.

It's easier to have a foundation than to start from scratch.
