Shen Xiaoyu hadn't done anything about buying a maid, but he still went to the tooth dealer to take a look.

The tooth shop in Kyoto City is very large, and it is not just a slave sale, but a little girl from a good family who wants to be a maid or something in a big family, and she will also come to hang up her name.

There were many dealers who came up to solicit customers, so Shen Xiaoyu asked, "I want to find two innocent maids." ”

The dealer had a beard, and at first glance he knew how to do business, so he said, "Is the maid that the son said good-looking, or is she rough and working?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu heard it: "Is there a difference?" There are good-looking and capable! ”

The big dealer smiled, stroked his beard and said, "This little boy may not understand that big families are not looking for maids just to work, they can also find some good-looking maids for their own enjoyment!" ”

When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he immediately said, "Please give me two who are not very good-looking and can work!" "What are you kidding, she doesn't dare to recruit young and beautiful cooks!

When the dealer heard this, he said, "Cheng, Childe, wait a minute!" Then he turned and went into the back hall.

Shen Xiaoyu took advantage of this kung fu to look around, the people around him were all slaves, and the little girl from the innocent family would not be placed outside like goods. The air in the tooth shop didn't smell very good, she wrinkled her nose, and wanted to leave as soon as she finished recruiting.

The dealer soon brought out four or five little girls, both old and small, and their clothes, though all coarse cloth and plain colors, were at least dry and quiet.

Shen Xiaoyu took a look, and picked two people who were a little older than her, although their hands were not white, but they could work at a glance.

"Childe picked?" The dealer said: "The girls of our good family can only be hired, and I only charge 30% of the commission for the first month." ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, the guarantee of the fee was reasonable, and then he signed the paperwork with the two girls, paid the boss, and led the people home first.

They were about to walk out of the door of the tooth shop, Shen Xiaoyu heard a miserable scream, and was so frightened that he hurriedly looked back, but this sound was too miserable, not like a good movement.

Shen Xiaoyu followed the sound and looked over, and saw that a slave was about to hold the hand of a trader, and the scream was made by the dealer.

The people next to him also looked over, and some of them were also traffickers and said, "How many are these bites today?" Who would dare to use such a slave? ”

Shen Xiaoyu asked, "What will happen to the slave that no one dares to use?" ”

The dealer said, "Throw yourself half to death, such a slave is too wild, even if he is reluctantly sold, when the time comes, he will get back into trouble." There are a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto City, and no one can think about having a good life if they provoke anyone! ”

Shen Xiaoyu understood, hiring a maid and buying a slave are not at the same level, buying a slave costs a lot of money, and no one can afford it.

Shen Xiaoyu saw the excitement and wanted to leave, but when he turned his head, for a moment, his eyes met the slave.

The slave's eyes looked at Shen Xiaoyu like that, and Shen Xiaoyu felt a pang in his heart, remembering when he went to the Qin family to sell himself for some food. At that time, I was very urgent, I hoped that Mrs. Qin could buy herself, and I hoped that I could exchange food so that her father would not starve to death.

Shen Xiaoyu took two steps, and looked back again, the slave was not very old, younger than her, dark-skinned, and at first glance he was not from this dynasty, I heard that the people in southern Xinjiang were dark-skinned, and some captives in southern Xinjiang were sold as slaves.

But she didn't have the money to buy people, even if she was soft-hearted, she was powerless.

"Boss, when do you think this slave will be thrown away?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, even if she can't buy it, can she "pick it up"?

The boss said: "He even bit the trafficker, it is estimated that it is almost today, he was beaten half to death, and then thrown into the wasteland outside the city, whether he is dead or alive depends on God." Tsk, you said he couldn't think about it, he had to be so stubborn! ”

Shen Xiaoyu asked, "When will you throw it?" ”

Then the boss looked over: "Are you ......?" ”

"It's fine." Shen Xiaoyu was afraid that if she talked too much, she would pass the word between the dealers, in case the one over there didn't throw it away, how could she pick it up? Hurry up and leave first with the hired maid.

The boss watched Shen Xiaoyu leave, then shook his head and smiled: "How can this cheap be so easy to take advantage of?" "If the slaves don't obey, some of them will be miserable!

Shen Xiaoyu returned home with the two maids, and when he entered the door, he said: "In addition to me, there is also a lady and a son in our family, your main task is to serve a good lady and a son, I don't need anyone to serve here." ”

When the two maids entered the door, they looked east and west, and Shen Xiaoyu asked: "My name is Shen Xiaoyu, and there is a housekeeper named Fu'an, and the master's surname is Qin." What do you both call them? ”

The one who looked a little dark and thin said, "Slave Chunfen." ”

The white and fat one said, "Slave and maid red dates." ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, I'll take the two of you to see Madame and Gongzi first." ”

The two maids were led to Qian Yuemei's eyes, Qian Yuemei glanced at it, her eyebrows moved, and she said, "Isn't there anything more thoughtful?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu was embarrassed, Chunfen and Red Jujube were not ugly, at most they were simple.

"No matter how good it is, it's not a good hand who can serve people, these two are better." Shen Xiaoyu explained.

Qian Yuemei sighed, and said, "That's it, anyway, I've not been here for long, if it weren't for Mama Su's age, I would have brought her along, and I would have saved these troubles." ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, and said, "Madame, just use it for the time being, if it's not comfortable to use, let's find a clever one." ”

After coming out of Qian Yuemei's, Shen Xiaoyu said: "Madame doesn't live here for a long time, but Madame should be especially careful here, Madame is more demanding, don't make Madame unhappy, everything else is fine." ”

Chunfen and Red Dates both nodded, and followed Shen Xiaoyu to the courtyard where Qin Huaijin lived.

Qin Huaijin looked at the two maids Shen Xiaoyu was looking for, smiled and didn't say anything else, and said: "I don't have to serve too much, the main thing is to serve my mother's side, I usually don't call you, and you don't use my yard." "It's okay for him to be blessed.

Shen Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then took someone to arrange a place to live first, and the two of them lived in one room, which was also spacious.

At this time, Fu'an shouted: "Little fish girl? In which hospital? ”

As soon as they heard that it was the girl who shouted, Chunfen and Red Jujube hurriedly looked at Shen Xiaoyu.

"Ah, I'm a girl, just pretending to be a man." Then he smiled and went out of the yard first, seeing that Fu'an was looking for her.

Fu'an walked over and said, "There's a cook at the door." ”

"Yes, there is a cook!" Shen Xiaoyu said, and then ran to the door.

There was an uncle in his forties standing at the door, and when he saw Shen Xiaoyu coming, he said, "I heard my daughter say that my son's family is looking for a cook?" ”

"Yes, what do you call uncle?" Shen Xiaoyu asked.

"My surname is Hu!"

"Then call it Uncle Hu, let's go to the kitchen to try two dishes first!" Shen Xiaoyu said, there was no nonsense at all.

Uncle Hu nodded and followed Shen Xiaoyu.

On the way to the kitchen, Shen Xiaoyu saw that Uncle Hu's legs were indeed a little problematic and he couldn't walk too fast.

"What's on your back?" Fu'an asked.

"It's all my business, I'm used to it, it's easy!" Uncle Hu said.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Uncle Hu got busy, the kitchen was cleaned up by Shen Xiaoyu in the morning, and the family was just bought back by Fu'an, Uncle Hu first boiled water to scald the pots and pans, and then began to cook the pot and stir-fry.

Shen Xiaoyu watched from the side, she always felt that people who could cook turned over a big spoon were powerful. Uncle Hu's cooking is not the same as Qin Huaijin's, Qin Huaijin's cooking is slow simmering over low heat, and Uncle Hu is turning the spoon over a big fire, and the sparks are bubbling up.

One meat, one vegetable and one soup, Uncle Hu quickly made it, Shen Xiaoyu took a look, he looked very good, and he was not a loss to the people in the original restaurant.

"Try it first, you don't need to put so much oil in the restaurant when you eat at home, and it's easy to eat too much." Uncle Hu said with a smile.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, and then said to Fu'an, "Send it to Madame first?" "People in this family, as long as Qian Yuemei doesn't pick, others basically don't pick.

Fu'an nodded, and sent the dishes directly first, and Shen Xiaoyu also took Uncle Hu to Qian Yuemei to wait for the result.

Although the Qin family has good eating and drinking conditions, no matter what the cook says, he can't compare to the people who came out of the Kyoto City Tavern, and naturally he has nothing to say after tasting it.

"Alright, let's talk about wages!" Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile, take care of food and housing, and pay wages for a month, Uncle Hu is a local, unless there is something, he will not take leave, and he will stay.

"Uncle Hu also has to cook Chinese New Year's Eve food before leaving, or he will ...... at home," Shen Xiaoyu made a request.

Uncle Hu is also a happy person, he used to be in the tavern, and he couldn't be idle during the Spring Festival, Shen Xiaoyu's request was nothing.

"Done!"

Shen Xiaoyu went to arrange Uncle Hu's residence, and said as he walked: "Our family is estimated to be at home with Mrs. and Fu'an housekeeper after the New Year, I have an errand in the Ministry of Industry, and I have a shop to manage, our son-in-law is usually willing to help people fight a lawsuit, and the results of the big exam will come out after the year, and our family is basically not at home, you can cook and you can eat." ”

"Okay boy." Uncle Hu responded happily.

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Just call me a girl at home, and call me a son outside." ”

Uncle Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "No wonder, just now I thought that this son was more delicate than his daughter!" I made a note of it! "I remembered that my daughter said at home that the family didn't want a young girl to be a cook, and he was also a person from the past, and he already had a guess in his heart.

After everything was settled, Shen Xiaoyu was finally able to go back to his room to rest for a while.

On Qian Yuemei's side, Chunfen and Red Dates both went over to serve, seeing that the New Year was coming, and the yard at home was also going to be cleaned up, Shen Xiaoyu had prepared a lantern and could hang it at any time.

Qin Huaijin went to Shen Xiaoyu's courtyard to speak, and asked: "Seeing that the New Year has passed, the eldest prince will not go home for the New Year, and the lady is also there, what should I do?" ”
