Hearing Yan's words, the shopkeeper with a sad face immediately smiled and said a lot of flattering words to Yan, as if others would not see how excited he was.

He has been troubled by the fact that this family of three can't be sold recently, but he didn't expect someone to help him solve this problem today, so that his money would not be wasted.

This is not a small amount of silver, and it cost him a full twenty taels to buy this family.

You know, he can only earn a few taels by selling an ordinary girl, how many girls do he have to sell for these twenty taels to earn back?

In the past few years, there have been disasters everywhere, and many families can't afford to raise so many children, so they can only pick a few and sell them to reduce the burden on their families.

Sooner or later, the daughter belongs to someone else, and if she sells it early, she will be considered married.

Therefore, in this tooth shop, there are the most girls from poor families, and part of the income comes from these girls.

Their line of work is not as simple as it seems.

When collecting people, you should have a sharp eye, not only to see the value of these people, but also to be able to distinguish whether they are forced and whether they come from a clean way.

is different from the kind of black tooth that relies on pit abduction to deceive people and has a low cost, he is a serious tooth line recorded by the government, if he accidentally receives those who come from the wrong way, he will close the door at the least, and lose his head at the worst, but he dare not be careless.

Because these people come from a clean road, the price is naturally more expensive.

If the price is too low, few parents will be willing to sell their daughters for that little bit of silver, it is better to grit their teeth and raise them themselves, and when they grow up, they can earn some dowry.

But also because of this world, he has a steady supply of goods in his tooth shop, and he no longer has to go to various places to collect people in person as before.

Even with it, the cost of collecting people is not much lower than before.

If it was before, twenty taels would have to be sold for more girls to earn it.

"Madam, you are really a bodhisattva." I really couldn't find the shopkeeper for the reason why Yan's parents bought Lin Zhou's parents, so he could only comfort himself with the reason that this lady was kind and couldn't see the family of three separated, after all, he really didn't know what two waste people could do.

Lin Zhou's words didn't take him to heart at all, who could eat the food cooked by an ugly monster, and who could count on a porter at the foot of the slope to guard the door.

As for saving money, although it is true that three people can save some money by buying together, but there are no good goods when they are cheap, and buying them home is also to raise two idlers, so it is difficult to say whether they can save it.

"Ma'am, do you need another concierge and a cook?" The shopkeeper thought about it, and decided to persuade the Yan family to buy some more people, if the two of them were overwhelmed, it would be better to have a replacement, "After all, it is still a little unreliable to only expect the two of them to serve you." ”

Yan was indeed as the shopkeeper thought, and he was reluctant to see the child's family of three separated, so he agreed to buy Lin Zhou's parents.

It's just because of his kindness that he had the idea of raising the couple at home for Lin Zhou, and he didn't think about letting them do any heavy work, and he usually just needed to fetch water and sweep the floor.

Just as Yan was about to nod and agree to the shopkeeper, he heard Lin Zhou shouting: "Madam, you really don't need to buy another person, my father and mother can definitely do it." ”

Lin Zhou is not stupid, no matter why the Yan family bought his parents, but if it is useless, no one wants to raise two outsiders at home for no reason.

Therefore, if you want your parents to stay by your side forever, you can only let them reflect their own value.

If she buys two more able-bodied people to go home, then his parents will never have a bright future, and they will have to be raised like wasters, and sooner or later they will end up being kicked out of the house.

"Lin Zhou, don't be ignorant, this lady has already promised to buy your family, you don't want to be grateful to Dade for not saying it, and you still want to interfere with her decision." The shopkeeper was furious, and he was about to make another business, why did Lin Zhou come out to stir up the situation again, he glared at Lin Zhou angrily, "You don't want to think about it, how can you talk here?" ”

"The porter and the cook can do it obviously for my father and mother, why do you want your wife to buy two more?" Lin Zhou raised his chin, "I think you want to make money and want to go crazy, and you want to trap her when you see that your lady is kind-hearted." I have been bought by my wife, and I am a member of her family, how can I watch my master being deceived? ”

"You...... You ......" The shopkeeper held back the fire in his belly, and he didn't know how to vent, at this time Lin Zhou had been ordered, he couldn't dispose of him at will like just now, he could only endure his anger, "It's not up to you to buy it or not, everything has to be up to this lady." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, the eyes of a room of people fell on Yan.

"This ......" Yan didn't know whether to buy it or not at this time, so he could only look at Xia Yan like a help, "Yan'er, what do you say?" ”

Xia Yan saw the confusion in Yan's eyes, and hurriedly smiled: "Mother, I don't think it's necessary, these two people are very good, there is nothing wrong." ”

"Miss, ...... you" Hearing Xia Yan's words, the shopkeeper's face was not good.

Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open? These two don't look like people who don't have any problems, okay.

With such a big scar and that limping walking posture, I think there is nothing wrong with it, is this young lady blind?

But he could only think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it.

There is no one in this world who can't get along with money, for the sake of business, he can only endure the doubts, and persuade again: "Madam, this young lady of your family is still young, and I am afraid that she does not understand much, so you had better decide for yourself." ”

Whether his daughter understands or not, Yan still knows.

She didn't listen to the shopkeeper's persuasion, just looked at Xia Yan quietly, and after getting her a "reassuring" look, Yan smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "No need, just listen to my daughter, don't buy it." ”

Seeing that he had lost a business for no reason, the shopkeeper sighed distressedly, and at the same time stared at Lin Zhou fiercely, as if he was going to eat this troublemaker.

But Lin Zhou was unmoved, and calmly walked aside with his father and mother.

The shopkeeper felt that Lin Zhou was simply his nemesis, how much more anger he could make by selling him, but fortunately he finally sold him today, otherwise he might be angry with him that day.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's mood was slightly better,

Thinking that there was a big business ahead, he quickly sorted out his emotions so that he could cheer himself up again.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper, who had calmed down, to beckon, and a man in his twenties, who looked ordinary, but who seemed loyal and honest, walked up.

After the man stood still, the shopkeeper saluted Yan and said, "Madam, this is the bookkeeper you want." ”

"This ......," Yan looked at the man, "isn't it a little too young?" ”

"Madame, rest assured, that although this bookkeeper is young, he began to learn to manage accounts at the age of fourteen. It's been a full decade now, and as early as two years ago, I was able to take the lead and manage the accounts of a few shops. ”

After listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, Yan was relieved. Thinking that there was no second bookkeeper to choose from, he nodded and bought him.

Then I picked a rough woman with a hunchback, and this time the buying plan came to an end.

"Madam, this girl, ten taels a piece, you bought two, twenty taels." Seeing that everyone had bought it, the shopkeeper picked up the abacus and played, "Lin Zhou is thirty taels, his father and mother are five taels, and the three of you buy it together, and I will count thirty-eight taels for you." The bookkeeper is fifty taels, and the rough mother-in-law is ten taels. These seven people are a total of one hundred and eighteen taels, I will give you a discount, you can give one hundred and fifteen taels. ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't ask for much, Yan nodded, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and some broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the money, and after a little bit, he waved his hand and summoned all the people selected by the Yan family, and said with a smile: "Madam, we have both people and goods, do we need us to help you send these people back?" ”

Although he was amazed that he could deliver to his door here, his home was not close, so for the sake of insurance, Yan still asked: "My home is in Bianxi Village, which is a little far from here, can you also deliver it?" ”

"Madam, to tell you the truth, it was not our tooth shop that helped you give it away, but the coachman who cooperated with us. No matter where your home is, as long as it is not out of the range of Qin County, it is on the Wubi Mountain, they dare to send it, but you need to pay for the car when you get to the place. ”

Yan understood that it was not a free gift.

But thinking that the seven people's own donkey cart could not be pulled, and these people were either old people and children or injured, and it was really cruel for them to walk such a long way, he nodded and agreed that the shopkeeper would help call the coachman.

After a while, a wide carriage stopped at the door of the tooth shop.

After discussing with the coachman, the coachman agreed to send the men back at a price of 200 yuan.

It's not that he wants too much, it's that these seven people sit in the car, which slows down a lot.

What's more, he has to waste the whole day on the road, and he can't take over other business, and he may even have to stay in the car overnight to get back to the county seat smoothly.

While waiting for Xia Huai to take Xiao Hei, Xia Yan suddenly remembered the system task he hadn't completed yet, so he turned around and entered the tooth shop again, found the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, I want to ask if you sell shops here?" ”

"Miss, you're in the wrong place." As soon as he became the shopkeeper of a big business, he was in a good mood, so he patiently explained to Xia Yan, "We are people, specializing in human trafficking. Miss, if you want to buy a shop, you have to go to find Fang Yazi. ”

Hearing that there was no shop for sale here, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel lost, and just as she turned around and was about to leave, she heard the shopkeeper calling her: "Miss, if you are in a hurry to buy, I know some Fang Yazi, I can help you introduce them." ”

"Thank you so much." Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Xia Yan hurriedly agreed, "Wait until I go home first to settle these people, and then come back to you in a few days, then I will trouble you." ”
