Du Yuniang said to Xie Shi: "I will leave three people behind, I don't know if I can test their skills." ”

Xie nodded, "Please." ”

Du Yuniang found a basin, boiling water, flour and a chopping board.

"There's flour here, so you can go up and mix the flour in turn." Du Yuniang said: "There is no rule on what kind of face you want to meet, you can just play as you like." ”

The faces of the seven people moved slightly, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't expect Du Yuniang to come up with such a way by surprise.

Du Yuniang pointed to the person standing on her left hand side and said, "Let's start with you!" ”

The man stepped forward, first cleaned his hands, then tested the temperature of the water, and let the boiling water prepared in advance for a while before starting to make a face. She is no different from ordinary women who make pasta, first pouring a small amount of water into the basin, then stirring the dough with chopsticks until it is flocculent, and finally starting to mix the dough and buckle it in the basin.

Du Yuniang nodded, and said, "Next." ”

A second woman stepped forward, a little shorter and stocky, and rolled up her sleeves first, and then she quickly folded her face. This man worked much faster than the first man, and seemed to have the strength to hold the handle, and with each blow, he could shake the board twice, and the dough was quickly reconciled.

Then came the third, the fourth......

Du Yuniang watched the whole process, silently recorded their performance and the state of the dough they kneaded, and when the seven people kneaded the dough, Du Yuniang let them stretch out their hands again.

The fourth man on the left-hand side had smooth hands and no extra flour. And her face is unusually smooth and elastic. Du Yuniang glanced at her meaningfully, with a shallow smile on her lips.

The man was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and still kept his head down.

Du Yuniang knew in her heart and let Chang's and Xie's enter the house.

"Grandma Xie is really a capable person, and what she brings is very useful."

"I can't afford to be praised by my wife, I don't know which three my wife looks up to?" Du Yuniang said before that she wanted to leave three people, and Xie kept it in mind!

Du Yuniang reported the three people in her photo.

Xie Shi was a little surprised, "You didn't take a fancy to Fang Lan?" This really surprised her, she thought that Du Shi's eyes were poisonous, and she could see Fang Lan's craftsmanship!

"Fang Lan?" Du Yuniang smiled, "I don't know which one?" ”

"It's the fourth one on the left, the one with a mole on the corner of his mouth." Xie said: "You should have seen it at the time, she didn't have any flour in her hands, and she looked like she could work." ”

Du Yuniang thought for a moment before she said, "Grandma Xie must also know that I run a dim sum shop, and I sell rare things. I have apprentices, and the people in the shop can only do some chores, but those who have too big hearts can't do it. ”

Xie Shi had a little unhappiness on his face, but he still maintained his etiquette, "You mean that Fang Lan has a big heart?" Isn't it appropriate to judge a person just by one side? ”

And when Du Shi said this, he was clearly questioning his own vision.

Chang's was slightly angry, thinking that this Xie family has always been a well-behaved person, but now this is to stand up for that slave?

"Grandma Xie, dare to ask, that Fang Lan, but she sells herself?"

Xie Shi was slightly stunned, "How do you know?" ”

"The origin of this Fang Lan, Grandma Xie should still inquire carefully! Her origins are not simple. Du Yuniang thought about it for a while, and simply said, "I just asked them to knead the dough, just to see their skills, the other six people are all good at cooking, but they don't know anything about the noodles." If it is strictly required, they and the noodles that come out are basically unqualified. To tell you the truth, such a person is relieved to use, but that Fang Lan, just a harmony, leaked too many things. ”

Xie shook his head, still not understanding.

"The attention to the noodles can be great, the earliest simple truth, pay attention to the three lights, that is, the basin light, the face light, the hand light! If you think about Fang Lan's performance just now, you should know what I mean! As soon as the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. Her face-to-face technique, without ten or eight years, is not at all. ”

Xie Shi's face turned white suddenly, "I understand what you mean, I will give you an explanation for this matter." ”

Du Yuniang smiled, "It's harmless, Grandma Xie doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

After all, the other party didn't succeed.

Chang's also understood at this time, daring that Fang Lan was arranged by someone with ulterior motives!

Xie said: "There are no rules, there is no circle." ”

Du Yuniang didn't speak anymore and asked about the price of the three people before.

Because of Fang Lan's matter, the price given by the Xie family is very fair. Du Yuniang had no objection and paid directly.

Xie handed over the deed of the three to Du Yuniang, and asked, "I don't know what kind of rough mother-in-law my wife is looking for?" I'll pick and choose carefully. ”

Rushing to sell well, probably to make up for previous mistakes.

"Good health, Wu Kong is strong, of course, the most important thing is loyalty, no family care, the best."

Xie nodded, "I'm going to disturb my wife today, I don't know when it's convenient tomorrow, I'll bring someone over when I get there." ”

Du Yuniang said: "It's still this time in the afternoon!" ”

Xie nodded and agreed, "Excuse me, I'll take people away." ”

Du Yuniang got up to see her off.

The one named Fang Lan, knowing that Du Yuniang didn't pick her, was so shocked that her jaw was about to fall, she didn't know what she thought, her eyes were full of horror, she turned around unwillingly, and wanted to plead in front of Du Yuniang, but she was quickly restrained by Xie's eyes.

Xie really hated this Fang Lan at this time, she thought that Fang Lan had a poor background, so she accepted her, how could she have thought that she actually harbored evil intentions! Now I can't keep myself faceless in front of the main family!

Xie is not a soft-hearted person, those who do their job are not only ruthless, but also have connections at the yamen, and ordinary people can't afford to provoke them at all.

Fang Lan is just a slave who sells herself, even if she has a backstage, but her deed is still in the hands of the Xie family! Once the matter is revealed, can she have a good end?

Xie didn't want to make a fuss in the Yang family, she stared at Fang Lan viciously, so frightened that Fang Lan went limp and didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

Soon, a strong mother-in-law entered the courtyard, blocked Fang Lan's mouth, and dragged her out directly.

Xie Shi then confessed to Du Yuniang again, "Disturb my wife!" ”

Before, these mothers-in-law were waiting outside, for fear of disturbing the main house, but now there is an unconscious Fang Lan, so naturally the mother-in-law has to escort her down.

"Walk slowly!"

Du Yuniang sent everyone away, and then turned around and talked to Chang.

"Mother-in-law, thank you for this today." Chang's found a reliable person, and came over to support her, she had to miss the other party's good.

Chang Shi smiled, "Are you still polite to me?" Okay, I won't stay, I have time, let's talk again. ”

Du Yuniang really didn't have the heart to accompany her, so she said, "I'll send you!" By the way, stepmother, why don't you have anyone with you? ”

Chang smiled, "I'm not one of those noble wives, I still have to follow people around me, don't worry, it's just a few steps, it's okay." "In Wuyan Town, there are not many people who dare to blatantly offend Weiyuan Dart Bureau.

Du Yuniang kept sending Chang to the door before turning around and going back to the courtyard.

The three people who had just been bought seemed to be very nervous and didn't know how to face Du Yuniang.

Du Yuniang called people into the house and asked the three of them to take turns to introduce themselves.

Where did the three of them pass by this, they all looked at each other, and their hearts were up and down.

Du Yuniang said: "Don't be nervous, just tell me what your name is, how old you are, and what you will do." ”

Someone took a step forward and saluted Du Yuniang and said: "The slave maid is called Wang Xiucao, and now Chinese New Year's Eve, I used to work in the kitchen and give a hand to the mother-in-law who is in charge." ”

This kind of errand is also called two spoons.

Du Yuniang nodded, this person was not tall before, but he had a lot of strength.

"Yes, I see you have a lot of strength."

The man nodded, "The slave was born in poverty, and was sold by his father and mother before he was ten years old. ”

Du Yuniang asked her again: "Have you ever been married?" ”

Wang Xiucao nodded and said, "The man of the slave maid was originally the coachman in the house, but he died of illness, and the slave maid did not remarry. ”

A poor man, too?

"Do you have children?"

Wang Xiucao shook her head, her husband died less than a year after she got married, and she was given the reputation of a kefu and never married again. She was afraid that her 'unlucky' would make Du Yuniang unhappy, so she didn't say these words.

Du Yuniang was very satisfied with her lack of concern, and asked her to step back and talk to another person.

"The slave's name is Jiang Xiaoxing, and she Chinese New Year's Eve two today." Jiang Xiaoxing's body is a little thin, she looks weak, and her personality is also harmonious.

"You're married, aren't you? Should there be children too? ”

Jiang Xiaoxing shed tears before speaking, "The slave maid had a hard life, gave birth to three daughters to her husband's family, was disgusted by her mother-in-law, and became a cousin. My father and mother are gone, and my brothers don't care about me, so I can't help it, so I sell myself into slavery......"

In this world, how can she, a divorced woman, live? In order to survive, he had to sell himself.

Du Yuniang felt bitter in her heart, and felt a little more pity for Jiang Xiaoxing and Wang Xiucao.

Wang Xiucao looked at Jiang Xiaoxing with some sympathy, the fate of the two people is the same, but it is a little different.

"What about you?"

The third person stood up and said: "The slave's surname is Dong, because she is the third in the family, she is called Dong San, and she has six out of twenty this year." ”

Du Yuniang was slightly shocked, this Dong San looked old, obviously less than thirty, and looked even older than Jiang Xiaoxing.

"Are you married?"

Dong San shook his head, "The slave will never marry in this life, and I haven't thought about marrying anyone." ”

Dong Sansheng had a very stubborn face, she combed her hair in a low bun, and her expression was tough, as if nothing in this world could affect her.

This is also the reason why Du Yuniang chose her.

"Okay, I already know your situation." Du Yuniang said: "I think you also know that I bought people to put them in the shop and let them help do things!" I don't have high requirements for you, duty, loyalty, diligence, as long as you do these three things, you will be qualified. I will not treat her badly to those who are loyal to me, in addition to the monthly money every month, two sets of clothes a year, and I will also arrange your pension problems. ”

When the three of them heard this, they all looked incredulous, and even Dong San showed a surprised expression.

After being a slave for so long, I haven't heard of any master who will provide for the slaves! Except for those nurses with heads and faces, mothers-in-law, how dare ordinary people think of this dignity?

Du Yuniang said: "You don't have to doubt what I said, I don't need to lie to you at all." As long as you do things for me wholeheartedly, twenty or thirty years later, I will arrange you to retire in Zhuangzi, provided that I want your loyalty! If not......"

How many of the minions who betray their masters have a good end?

The three of them hurriedly said yes, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

My wife is not very old, but there is a majesty in her! They are all people who have experienced ups and downs, and it would be great if they could have a place to settle down! Where else do you dare to think about anything else?

The deed is held in the hands of the master's family, and if you don't want to die, don't you have to control your heart?

"I like to be quiet on weekdays, so I'll arrange for you to live in another house first, and I'll talk about the specific things tomorrow."

The three of them hurriedly said yes.

Du Yuniang took the person to the house at the mouth of the alley.

Liu Xing'er curiously circled around the three people, "Fifth sister-in-law, is this your newly bought subordinate?" ”

What are you doing here?

Du Yuniang said the cause and effect, and said: "First arrange them to live in the wing room here, and other things will be talked about tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xing'er has no heart and lungs, and thinks it's good! Anyway, everyone is a woman, and there is nothing wrong with it.

She had forgotten about Huo Qing.

"Xing'er, you take them over first and let them rest for half a day."

"Okay, come with me!"

The three of them hurriedly saluted and followed Liu Xing'er to the wing.

Du Yuniang went home by herself, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Yang Zheng standing in the courtyard, as if waiting for her.

"Scheduled?"

"Let's do this for now!" Du Yuniang said: "Although it is very close, it is still a little inconvenient. ”

The two talked as they walked and went into the house together.

Du Yuniang drank two sips of water, felt a little cooler, picked up the fan on the table and fanned it a few times, and asked, "Brother Yang, do you think you have arranged Huo Qing to go somewhere else?" "It's so inconvenient for him to stay here.

Yang Zheng said: "Liu Xing'er is impulsive, if Huo Qing didn't look at her, she wouldn't know how many troubles she would have caused!" "The most important thing is that two people can only have feelings if they have more contact!

"But it's a little inconvenient right now." Du Yuniang herself doesn't like a lot of people, but the family bought people, so she has to settle them, it's not suitable if it's far away, it's really nerve-wracking!
