Chapter 274: Buying Slaves (I)

When I entered the shop, there was no one in the shop, and there was only one person in charge.

However, as she stepped in, she heard the screams that were often scattered from the innermost part of the shop, and it was estimated that the slaves were in the deep courtyard of the shop.

And the steward, who had been sitting at the table, saw two little girls coming in, and they were holding a child.

Looking at their clothes and dresses, he could see at a glance in his eyes that the two girls in front of him must be daughters and maids from large families.

After confirming their identities, the brains in charge immediately smiled, and then got up again to greet the two of them.

At a glance, he saw Gu Anning standing in front of him holding the child, and looking at the two of them, he immediately determined that the girl holding the child was the master.

"This young lady, welcome to our store. The contemptible person's surname is Li, and he is the steward here, you can call me Li's steward.

Girl, I don't know if there's anything I can do for you? ”

Gu Anning looked at the man in front of her with a smile on his face, she didn't want to do more nonsense about the business, so she said, "I came to add some subordinates to the house, I don't know if Steward Li, you have any good people to choose from?" ”

Originally, I wanted to buy some people to the house, but if you want to buy a house or a shop, it would be good.

He had a lot of mortgages or debts or deeds that others were anxious to get rid of and sold to him at a low price, and if he could sell a house or shop, he would definitely make a lot of money.

However, in this aspect of slaves, as long as there are enough of them, he will earn more.

Thinking of this, the steward, who was originally a little disappointed in his heart, returned to his original smiling appearance.

"It turns out that this young lady wants to add some subordinates to the house, and if you choose me here, then you have chosen the right one. None of the slaves I trained were disobedient, and most importantly they were never returned. We dare to say that we are the number one in this town. ”

What he said was almost true, and sometimes, among some slaves, there were several slaves who were unwilling to give in, and even tried to escape when they had the opportunity.

For these stubborn slaves who want to escape, he has a way to make them obedient.

Therefore, the subordinates who went out from him can be described as extremely obedient.

Looking at Steward Li's boasting, Gu Anning just nodded, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

Among these businessmen, they all like to boast that the things in their shops are powerful, and even if they don't have them, they are all blown out, and they are still blown as high as they are, and they can't be too convinced. In this regard, Gu Anning has long been accustomed to it.

I said it so badly only when I saw that the girl in front of him just nodded slightly, and the expression on her face did not change at all, and after a while, he was inevitably a little discouraged.

"Girl, I've just trained a batch of good slaves here, and I'll take you to pick and choose."

"Okay." Gu Anning didn't talk nonsense, just nodded in response.

So, the steward called a servant to come here to guard the shop, for fear that he would miss a deal of business when he took the girl in front of him to choose slaves, and it would not be cost-effective.

After giving the order, Steward Li nodded to the girl in front of him and said, "Girl, please come with me." ”

Then he went to the wall and lifted the curtain that hung on the wall, and waited for the girl in front of him to follow.

Gu Anning walked in with Qiu Yue, and when she saw that both of them had entered the curtain, Steward Li put down the curtain in her hand.

Through the curtain, Gu Anning saw a large pool on the ground in front of her, and there were ornamental fish in the pool.

In front of the pool is a row of densely packed rooms, and to the left of the pool is a small fenced corridor that leads to the row of houses.

"Girl, come over here." As he spoke, Steward Li led them to the left, and then stepped onto the corridor that led straight ahead.

Walking through the corridor, you will see a large courtyard with many people dressed in burlap, some of which are even torn. Among them were men and women, and even children.

In front of them was a man of fair countenance, who was constantly teaching the manners used in the homes of the great families or how to address the lords of the house.

Beside the slaves, several men with fierce faces had whips in their hands, and if anyone was disobedient or had learned something wrong, he would give them a whip so hard that they would tremble and some of them fall to the ground.

Looking at this cruel scene, Steward Li, who came in, was already accustomed to it, and his heart had long been unable to rise the slightest wave.

Seeing that these people were working hard, Steward Li was very satisfied, and then clapped his hands and said, "Stop!" ”

Now I can bring the guests with my own hands, and I need to use them in the courtyard for a while, so I will let these people wait for them first, and wait until the guests have selected the next person before coming out to continue training.

Those who were teaching or supervising received orders from Steward Lee, and then they all instructed a group of slaves below who had not yet been trained to gather under the eaves on the side, and continue after a while.

"Ah Gu, come here."

At this time, Steward Li beckoned to a man with a fierce face.

The man who was called out quickly rolled up the whip in his hand and put it on his waist, and then walked towards Steward Li.

"Steward Li, what are your orders?"

When the man came to Steward Li, he saluted him.

Looking at Ah Cheng, who was saluting him, Steward Li put his hands behind his back and said, "You go and gather all the trained slaves." ”

"Yes, Steward Lee."

The man named Ah Cheng said, and then came to a large room. The room was lined with rows of rudimentary wooden beds, on which were men with a hungry face.

"There's a young lady outside to pick someone, you all be smart, and if you are picked, you can get out of here."

As soon as the slaves inside heard this, their originally depressed emotions immediately rose, and they all quickly lined up inside to cheer up.

As the man in charge of guarding this place said just now, if the lucky ones can be selected by the young lady outside, then they can get out of here forever.

They couldn't wait to leave this nightmare-like place.

Seeing that one or two of them knew each other like this, Ah Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then walked out with them.
