As the head snake of Anyang County, there is basically no place in this county that Yu Zhaocai is not familiar with, even if he is not familiar with it, people are also familiar with him, so as long as Yu Zhaocai appears, the boss of this tooth shop will come out to greet him in person.

Of course, because there is more than enough money, the "supply" will also introduce the best and cleanest, Cheng Xi finally took a fancy to a family of four, a middle-aged couple, originally the family was by the river, unfortunately suffered from flooding, the house and fields were all flooded, the family was completely lost, in order not to starve to death, had to voluntarily sell into the tooth shop.

Originally, this middle-aged couple was capable, and the fifteen-year-old eldest son was also tall and strong, and he must be a capable worker, and there were many people who liked him, but this family had a requirement before selling themselves, that is, if they wanted to buy their family, their family was unwilling to separate.

But their youngest son is only two or three years old, and many people have taken a fancy to them, but because they don't want a two or three-year-old son, the shopkeeper of the tooth shop originally had some friendship with this middle-aged man, and he would not force them, so he let them stay, just hoping that they can also find a satisfactory owner.

Cheng Xi listened to the origin of this family, but he was quite satisfied, a family with a human touch, if he treated them well, he would not betray his master, as for the two or three-year-old child, he happened to have a companion with a hundred years old.

It turns out that the hundred-year-old likes to play with Cheng Qiang's kid, but his father doesn't want to see the hundred-year-old, and Cheng Xi rarely takes the hundred-year-old over, but the hundred-year-old is a child in the end, and it is impossible for him to play with him every day, and it is not bad to find a companion for the hundred-year-old.

After reporting the price, Cheng Xi knew that it was really not cheap to buy a subordinate, and the cheapest should be the little maid, which was indeed only about a few taels of silver, and some were even cheaper, but most of them were little girls with thin faces or physical defects, ranging from a few years old to a teenager, and at first glance it was a long-term malnutrition, and some sick Cheng Xi was worried that he would not live long.

Those little maids looked very pitiful, Cheng Xi frowned, and listened to the boss of the tooth shop explain to her, "This slightly smarter, good-looking girl, human traffickers generally don't send it to us, and if they send it to those places, they will sell it at a good price, and the ones sent to us here are some crooked melons and cracked dates, and then most of them are poor men who can't marry a daughter-in-law, save a few taels of silver, and will pick one back to be a daughter-in-law, so that they can have a child and pass on the lineage." ”

Looking at those young girls, looking at her pitifully, although Cheng Xi is very sympathetic to the plight of these children, but she is also helpless, born in such a society, she is just an ordinary woman, in her own current situation, it would be good to live by herself, but she does not have the ability to save the world.

The little girl is cheap, but those normal strong laborers are not cheap, even the price of those normal middle-aged women is much more expensive than those little girls, Cheng Xi finally understands that this person is not someone who can afford it, just this family bought it, and it actually cost Cheng Xi a hundred taels of silver, which made Cheng Xi's heart ache.

Yu Zhaocai originally planned to pay for Cheng Xi, but he didn't expect Cheng Xi to take out a hundred taels of silver tickets, thinking that Xu Sanlang, who had just left for a long time, was not too surprised.

Regarding Xu Sanlang's departure again, Yu Zhaocai didn't ask much, as Cheng Xi said, the less you know, the better, and the more you know, the more dangers there are.

He didn't know where Xu Saburo went, but he knew that Xu Saburo was afraid that he wouldn't come back for a while, and he remembered that on the day Xu Saburo came back, he called him alone and asked him to help, take care of Cheng Xi and Bai Sui, if it wasn't because he was going to leave for a long time, he wouldn't have to ask him so much.

Yu Zhaocai didn't ask much, and nodded very simply, but Xu Sanlang left him an address of Fucheng, saying that if he was in trouble in Fucheng again, he could go there to find someone to help.

Cheng Xi bought the family surnamed Cui, the middle-aged man in charge of the family is called Cui Fu, Cheng Xi looked at the age should be a little younger than her father, so he called Uncle Fu Aunt Fu, the eldest son is called Cui Jiaping, and the younger son Cui Jia'an, although this name is ordinary, the meaning is very heartwarming.

The youngest son An An is well-behaved and sensible, he looks good, he is very pleasing, although the clothes on his body are old, they are clean, and he is the treasure of the family at a glance, but he is much happier than when Cheng Xi first saw him at the age of 100.

When they took the Cui family back to their small courtyard, the Cui family looked at the courtyard, but they were taken aback, originally thought that the master was a rich lady with a solid background, so she spent a hundred taels to buy their family, but this dilapidated small courtyard, a few rooms, is really the courtyard of their future master?

Cheng Xi looked at the few people who were stunned at the door, and introduced his situation with an embarrassed smile, "That, this yard is rented, it is a little narrow, you have to be wronged for a while, and after a while, you will change to a larger yard." ”

Cui Fu was stunned again before he spoke, "What did Miss say, since Miss bought us with money, we are Miss's subordinates, where is the reason for being wronged or not." ”

When he heard Cheng Xi's voice at the door, he had already rushed out of the house, and when he saw that there were several strangers at the door in addition to his sister-in-law, he looked at Cheng Xi a little cautiously, and didn't dare to come to Cheng Xi's side.

Cheng Xi beckoned to Bai Sui, and Bai Sui came to Cheng Xi's side, and then Cheng Xi squatted down, pointed to the child who was about the same age as Bai Sui, and said, "Bai Sui, this is Brother An An, I will play with you in the future, you take Brother An An to visit our yard." ”

Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Bai Sui's face was happy, and he lost his restraint just now, went over and took An An's hand and said, "Brother An An, I'll take you to see the small house I repaired." ”

Aunt Fu watched the two children go hand in hand to a tree in the yard, and said with a smile, "This little master is well-behaved, I don't know what it is?" ”

Cheng Xi didn't answer Aunt Fu's question for the time being, but beckoned them into the house before he began to introduce his situation.

After listening to Cheng Xi's introduction, the Cui family was very surprised, but they were also very happy, although the conditions of the main family that bought them were not very good, but the people seemed to be good, they spoke politely and did not treat them as people, and the population was even simpler, and they did not have to worry about dealing with the intrigue in everyone's house.

Their requirements are not high, as long as the family can be together, can be fed, clothed and have a place to live, they will be content.

There are two rooms and a kitchen in the house, one is occupied by Cheng Xi at the age of 100, and there is a Xiong Da Xiong Er to live in, there is no way, Cheng Xi can only discuss with Aunt Liu, clean up a firewood room with a pile of sundries, and let Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu take Xiao An to live in, and Brother Ping can only make do with Xiong Da Xiong Er first.

Knowing that this courtyard is still shared with others, and there is another family living there, it surprised the Cui family again, how poor their master is.

Cheng Xi thought, now that the weather is not hot, it can still be settled, if the weather is hot, I am afraid that there will not be so many people crowded in this small courtyard, so I began to pay attention to whether there are rental yards around.

After that, I really heard that there was a yard to rent, just near this yard, which was about the same size as their current yard, and the yard was also a little dilapidated, and the market next to it was relatively close and noisy, so it was never rented out.

Cheng Xi thought that the production of this fat sausage should be expanded, and the operation space of this yard is too small, and there are many people living there, so there is definitely no way, so he discussed with Aunt Liu, rented the yard over there, and simply moved the production of fat sausage to that side.

As soon as this production expanded, the money earned also increased, and it was almost twenty taels a month before, and twice as much was almost forty taels, even if the rent of the yard over there was ten taels of silver a month, it would be ten taels more, and this account was calculated, of course Aunt Liu had no opinion, and readily agreed to Cheng Xi's proposal.

Just do it, plus now there are more people, after the yard over there was rented, within a few days, the fat sausage processing was moved to the yard over there, Uncle Fu and his son and the Liu family also moved over there, and the yard here is finally not so crowded.

Since Uncle Fu and the others came, Cheng Xi didn't need to intervene in the fat intestine business, and all the housework at home was taken over by Aunt Fu, Aunt Fu was a capable person, just this little housework was at hand, and Cheng Xi was usually not allowed to interfere at all.

In this way, Cheng Xi is idle, so he plays with the two children from time to time, teaches them to read, or takes them out for a walk, and when the two children play by themselves, Cheng Xi flips through the books.

Recently, Cheng Xi went to buy a lot of books and came back, since the last time I went to Yipinxuan, the shopkeeper remembered Cheng Xi, every time Cheng Xi went to Yipinxuan, the Wu shopkeeper personally entertained, knowing that Cheng Xi was literate and liked to read, Wu shopkeeper even looked at Cheng Xi, and he was familiar with it when he came and went, and then Wu shopkeeper had any good-looking or interesting books, and he would generously lend them to Cheng Xi.

After turning a lot of books, Cheng Xi probably knew what kind of dynasty he was in, this dynasty was called the Great Zhou Dynasty Cheng Xi originally knew, the land area is vast, the agricultural country is a big country, and the feudal society where men are superior to women is also pursuing the hierarchy of "Shinong Industry and Commerce", and ordinary people are in a state of struggling with food and clothing.

In this era, the information is backward and the area is vast, and there will be a problem that cannot be solved, that is, there will often be wars with those surrounding countries, but these years have been small fights, and it does not affect the status of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a great power on this continent.
