Chapter 41: Buying Slaves

"Wang Jiang, Wang Jiang......" A series of shouts made Wang Jiang's ears deaf.

"Oops! Little Ancestor...... Don't shout, the wolves will be called by you in a while. Wang Jiang said playfully.

Yuhe ran out of breath and ran from the first floor to the second floor, "Go...... Don't give me poverty, Miss asked us to be responsible for recruiting the second shopkeeper in the hot pot restaurant, five men and five women, I heard Miss say that you have done it in a restaurant before and have experience, Miss means to let you be in charge of this. ”

He and Yuhe are the same age, and they like to quarrel when they have nothing to do, and Yuling always says that the two of them are happy enemies.

"Did Miss really say that?" Wang Jiang was moved in his heart, the young owner of his family still remembered what he did in the restaurant, and only Zhang Yuan said a word about this in front of her, and the young owner remembered it.

Wang Jiang replied loudly: "Don't worry, the small one will definitely recruit a good one for the young owner, and he will not disgrace his mission." ”

The two walked towards the hot pot restaurant in a hurry.

A job posting stands in front of the store......

In just a moment, many people gathered around to ask......

The two of them had a decent record, cross-examination, and selection of people, and they went there in an afternoon......

On the other side, Yu Ling received Nangong Keqing's instructions to go to the Renyazi sales market and select a few slaves to be partners in the hot pot restaurant.

Yuling is the most cautious and the most knowledgeable at people, she is respectful and orderly in her bones, and the people she picks out, Nangong Keqing is the most assured.

A fat woman with five big and three thick faces greeted her with a flattering face, don't look at her how she looks, but, she is also the most good at looking at people, at a glance, you can see that Yuling is a girl from everyone, wearing a first-class big girl costume, if you don't look carefully, you think it's a young lady.

"Girl, dignitary? We have everything here, clever and sensible, diligent and capable, and good-looking. "Fat woman highly recommended.

"Bring everyone out and let me see ......," Yu Ling began.

"Wait...... People are coming right away. After turning to leave, after a while, a row of girls with tricks was brought out.

The fat woman smiled and said, "How is it...... What kind of do you want, I will recommend a few to you, old woman. ”

Yu Ling was silent, swept over in rows, and kept looking...... These women are also pitiful, and they are sold to the market in the mood for love.

The girls were unkempt, few were clean, and several of the younger ones were afraid to look directly with their heads down.

"Lift your face for me, don't hang your head one by one......" the fat woman scolded.

Yu Ling couldn't get used to hearing her shouting and scolding, so she frowned and said, "Okay, I'll see for myself." ”

Yu Ling stepped forward and asked a few words briefly, pointing to a tall girl in the crowd, "She." The perseverance on this girl's face made Yu Ling feel that she should be good.

Yu Ling pointed over one by one, and the fat woman dragged people out one by one, and the average age of the seven or eight girls selected was about eighteen or seventeen years old, and the oldest was twenty years old.

The fat woman is about to go crazy, such a big stroke must be from everyone, the fat woman laughed so much that the flowers and branches were spreading, and the flesh was like a wave.

"Are there male slaves?" Yu Ling asked.

The fat woman was so excited that she almost didn't lose her breath, "Yes, yes...... You wait. ”

After saying that, he trotted all the way back to the boat and muttered a few words to the people inside.

I saw the fat woman pull out a row of slaves with chains tied to their hands and feet from the large cage in another warehouse.

Although Yu Ling was calm, his heart still trembled uncontrollably when he saw that the tall men were chained with iron chains and their faces were dirty.

Fortunately, the young lady had the foresight to transfer three guards from the third prince to accompany her, otherwise this bunch of men would really be difficult for her.

In the end, Yu Ling only chose four people, and he looked honest.

Yu Ling put a group of people into two carriages, and then paid three hundred taels of silver to return to the hot pot restaurant.

Fortunately, there is a backyard and house in this shop, although it is not as big as the medical hall, but it is enough for a few slaves to live, a total of two and a half rooms, each room has two beds and bunks, one room can live four people, Nangong Keqing made two wardrobes in each room, a set of tables and chairs, this is completely in accordance with the decoration of modern university dormitories, the space has been well utilized, and you can live comfortably.

Yu Ling customized more than forty sets of uniforms from Nishang Pavilion, of course, these were all designed by Nangong Keqing, and according to her, the uniform clothing.

At this time, Yuhe and Wang Jiang also finished recruiting, and selected four men and four women, Wang Jiang took the words of the young owner as a holy decree, and thought about the upper owner wholeheartedly, and investigated these individuals from the bottom to the bottom.

Nangong Keqing came to the backyard, and after the slaves were washed and dressed, they were all in good spirits, a beautiful boy with water! Nangong Keqing was very satisfied, walked to the front of the team with his hands behind his back, looked at the dozen or so purchased slaves, and said, "Which of you eleven people has family members and relatives."

For a while, more than a dozen slaves looked at each other, helpless, and Nangong Keqing waited for them very patiently...... At this time, a girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old came out of the team trembling......

"Who is in the house, and where is it?" Nangong Keqing tried her best to lower her voice so as not to scare her.

The little girl looked at Nangong Keqing's beautiful eyes and replied, "The slave has an uncle and an aunt."

Nangong Keqing thought to herself how this was abducted! "Want to go back? If you want to go back, the lord of this county will give you two pieces of silver to wrap around, and the deed of sale will be returned to you. ”

Not only the little girl was shocked, but all the slaves were shocked, is this a fairy descending to earth? Is it really here to rescue them?

The little girl's lips moved, but she couldn't help but be tempted and asked, "Will you really let the slave go?" How can you let us go so easily after you bought us! ”

Nangong Keqing raised his head and announced loudly, "The lord of this county never makes a wish, and if you have family members and relatives to go to, you can go, and the travel expenses will be sent away." ”

One of the tall maids asked, "What about those who have no family to run to?" Did you buy us for money to let us go? ”

"If you don't have a family to run to, you can stay and come to my shop to help, you can receive one or two taels of monthly money every month, including food and accommodation, festivals and rituals, and red envelopes at the end of the year, if you are willing, come and sign a contract, you think about it." Nangong Keqing sat on the chair and drank tea slowly, but the corner of her eye was observing them.

Even the slaves she bought are not necessarily good, and if there are those who have been deceived, she should do good deeds and let them go home.

I saw that the little girl knelt down with a "poof", "The slave and maid don't go back, and they will still be sold by their aunt when they go back, and their fate in the future may not be better than now." She knew better than anyone else that if she met a bad master, she would die if she said that she would die, and that she might die at the hands of a human tooth without being sold, or if she was sold to become a prostitute, and that the life of a slave was the least valuable.

"You've thought it through." Nangong Keqing helped the little girl up, they were all pitiful people.

"Please give me a name." The girls who are bought will be given their names by their masters, and their intentions are to start anew.

Nangong Keqing thought of the two girls of the rain generation, so she said casually: "It's good to call it snowfall?" "It's poetic when there is rain and snow!

"Miss Xie's name." The little girl got up and stood.

"What about the others......?"

"If the slave doesn't want to stay, can you really return the deed of sale and let the slave go?" The tall girl asked.

Nangong Keqing glanced at her, without waves, "Yu Ling......"

Yu Ling stepped forward, handed her deed of sale to her, and gave her two taels of silver, "Let's go!" ”

"Why?" The tall woman was amazed.

Nangong Keqing took a sip of tea and said lightly: "If you can't be loyal, don't do it, I don't leave anyone here who wants to leave." However, if you decide to stay, you will not be disadvantaged. ”

The tall girl clasped her hands into fists, made a charlatan, and turned to leave.

Nangong Keqing raised her eyebrows, she is still a child of the rivers and lakes, these slaves are really what kind of people have them!

"The rest are willing to stay? While it's still too late. He glanced around and said, "I said that if you stay, you must be faithful, otherwise my methods will make your life worse than death." "She only keeps loyal people, and if she has two hearts, sooner or later she will cause trouble, so she simply let them go, and they should all do good.

"Slave, slave is willing to stay." Of course, they are willing to stay, there is a monthly money to get, which is more than the monthly money given by some official subordinates, their slaves are not good at home and are resold, or the family debts are sold for low debts, even if they take the deed of sale, they still can't solve the problem of food and clothing, for the low-level people, freedom is a luxury, and the basic rations are the most important.

Ten people carefully put the contract boy into their arms, some of them were literate, holding the contract and looking at it carefully, and couldn't help but be excited when they saw the welfare.

Nangong Keqing observed that there were five or six who were still literate, she put them in the ordering service, and the others were running to the hall to pass the dishes, and she gave them names, all of which were with snow, like what Yingxue, Yanxue, Xuejiao, Winter Snow, Cold Snow, and the snow children of a water and water were almost not called snow, sledding.

And the manservant's name has a "new" word, the name is: Xinsheng, Xinyi, Xinxing, Xinlong, the four of them together are prosperous business, I have to feel that this name is too commercial.

No wonder Chongyang squirted out a mouthful of tea when he heard these names.
