Chapter 35 Selection
Tao Xiangdai is a capable person. At this time, it was just after the New Year's Festival, and the buying and selling markets were still deserted, so she sold most of the things entrusted to her in one day's work, and got a total of 130 yuan. She made a profit of more than seven percent at once.
This is the first time Tao Xiangdai has done this, after all, after several times in Bianjing City, no one can be as relieved as Wan Wan to let her take things away and sell them directly. The money was made with less effort, and she wanted to hold on to the fat of Wanwan more and more.
Even if he can't handle the wedding gift, the chief catcher still has an egg-sized red blood jade in his hand. Whoever sells such a treasure by his hand will have a hand full of ointment. Grab a handful and it will flow into silver.
What's more, in half a year, this famous master will be the prince and wife of the Dingbei Hou Mansion. Now that she is in control, she is in charge of the business of the future Dingbei Hou Mansion. Although it seems that there is a door like Dingbei Hou Mansion, the affairs of people who need teeth are generally looking for official teeth. But if you want to buy and sell people, they often don't like to pick and choose in the official teeth.
Tao Xiangdai put the seven surplus money into her waist bag. When he raised his eyes and saw that it was past noon, he prepared the fragrant tea and fruit early, instructed people to clean the teeth up and down, and waited for Wan Wan to come.
At dusk, Wan Wan really arrived. As soon as you enter the door, you will go straight to the topic. Tao Xiangdai had already prepared properly, and as soon as she clapped her hands, two teams of little girls came in with their heads hanging down, standing in a few rows neatly.
Wan Wan and Tao Xiangdai were both in the house, but those little girls were standing in the courtyard. The courtyard is very large, so it seems that the number of people is a little scarce.
Wan Wan was stunned for a moment, she felt that such a big tooth line should not be the only one with these people. "That's all?"
Tao Xiangdai's heart immediately lifted, these were all carefully selected by her, and Master Ming couldn't even see any of them.
I have to say that this is another misunderstanding. Tao Xiangdai is a competent and professional tooth woman, and she chooses it in advance for the sake of the guests. The number of people has always been like this, neither too many to dazzle the guests, nor less to make the guests feel the pleasure of no choice. But Wan Wan's psychology is a little different, she likes it the most, and the more the merrier. She thinks it's better to pick the one she wants.
Tao Xiangdai called the second group of people a little apprehensively, and the two groups of people standing in the courtyard at the same time seemed to be a little large. Wan Wan stood at the door and looked, only to see those little girls in rows like Xiaochun onions, but they all slumped their shoulders and hung their heads very low, as if they were trying to shrink their sense of existence. Only a thin little girl is particularly conspicuous, although she also hangs her head, but her posture is extremely upright, and she is almost standing on tiptoe, and her whole body is full of energy.
Wan Wan walked out of the house, walked straight to the little girl and asked, "They can't hide, why are you coming the other way?" ”
This little girl is the little sister who begged Tao Xiangdai yesterday, and she bowed to Wan Wan before replying: "Lord Hui Ming, maybe it's because the little sister is more difficult to sell, so the little sister cherishes every opportunity." ”
This reason is so novel to hear, "Why is it difficult to sell, isn't it that you are stupid?" ”
Xiaomei was a little anxious on her face, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaomei doesn't dare to say that she is the smartest, but Xiaomei is the most diligent and studious. The little sister dares to say that the needle chisel is red, sprinkled with flowers, and the little sister is the best one here. ”
Wan Wan asked again: "Do you know how to comb your hair and makeup?" ”
The little sister didn't know why the chief catcher would ask about combing her hair and makeup, but she quickly replied: "You are good at it." ”
Wan Wan looked at the little sister around, turned her head to look at Tao Xiangdai, and walked over to explain without waiting to ask Tao Xiangdai: "Aside from her appearance, the little sister is indeed excellent." It's just that the little sister has one condition: if you want to buy her, you have to buy it with her brother. Her brother has a good temperament, but he ...... It's scary. ”
Wan Wan said: "I think this little girl is very good, and I called her brother to meet her." ”
Tao Xiangdai hesitated slightly, and cautiously tentatively said: "Little sister, this child is beautiful, but her brother looks like a ghost, ...... adults?" ”
Wan Wan has been afraid of evil ghosts, what kind of evil ghosts she has never seen, even she herself has been able to transform into evil ghosts. So she waved her hand, "Just call." ”
Seeing this, Tao Xiangdai dared to persuade more, so she directly ordered the rest of the little girls to retreat first, and asked someone to call the little sister's brother.
After a short time, the one who had gone to summon the man turned back, followed by a young man with a hunched body. Wan Wan took a closer look, and her heart suddenly shook. Ugly! It's really ugly. The demons are three points more handsome than him.
The little sister didn't dare to come out of her nervous atmosphere, and the young man tried even harder to bury his face in his shoulders.
Tao Xiangdai was even more nervous than the brother and sister, and secretly scolded herself for being soft-hearted yesterday. What if this one is upset? She quietly observed Wan Wan with the peripheral vision of her eyes, only to see that Wan Wan's face did not show a trace of panic, but only looked at the young man for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know how to raise horses?" ”
The young man paused, followed by a bow and said, "Yes!" The adults and the small ones can raise horses, cattle, donkeys, ploughland, tiled houses, slices, carpenters, ....... ”
Tao Xiangdai saw that he was a little rude and coughed lightly, and the young man suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Tao Xiangdai smiled dryly and said, "This kid's name is Ah Qi, and he is also an all-rounder. ”
Wan Wan nodded and asked, "What is the origin?" ”
Tao Xiangdai was stunned, and immediately reacted that she was asking the origin of the little sister and siblings, and suddenly explained with joy in her heart: "It's pitiful, Ah Qi has been rejected by the villagers since he was born because of this appearance, and his parents had to raise him in a ruined temple outside the village. Later, the little sister was born, their mother had a difficult birth, and within two years their father also died of a serious illness. The little sister was said to be a relative, and no one dared to raise her.
The villagers did not allow the brother and sister, so Ah Qi hugged the little sister all the way to beg for food for a living. Just a few years ago, my little sister came to me. ”
Tao Xiangdai didn't say the rest of the words. That year was her first time as a tooth person, and I heard that my little sister said not to sell her body for money, but to ask for an extra bowl of rice every day to give her brother a life. thought that he had picked up a big bargain, and happily accepted the two brothers and sisters. I didn't expect that Ah Qi, who was so dirty that he couldn't recognize his appearance, would look like this after washing it clean. This incident is the first shame in her tooth life, and it really taught her a lesson to make her more cautious and cautious in the future.
"That's them. Pick a cook. ”
A sentence pulled Tao Xiangdai back from her memories, she looked at Wan Wan in disbelief, and saw her turn around and walk back to the house to pick up the tea cup and drink it slowly, and she couldn't help but admire it in her heart.
Sure enough, it's always the catcher. This guts! Seeing Ah Qi, he can still eat.
Immediately, Tao Xiangdai was overjoyed, and the two siblings were able to sell it, and the money-losing business she originally thought was turned into a money-making business. Thinking about it carefully, the two brothers and sisters have known that it is difficult to sell over the years, lest they will block her, and they are rushing to do all the work in Su Ri. In the end, she earned it.
The little sister and Ah Qi were even more overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again to thank them. It was still Tao Xiangdai who killed with one look, and the two of them restrained their emotions and stood aside excitedly.
Choosing a chef is more troublesome, and everyone needs to make a specialty dish for Wan Wan to taste. Fortunately, the number of cooks is not more than that of the little girls, only a dozen.
Wan Wan took a look and saw that most of the dishes on the table were light and elegant, and only three dishes were not thick or light, and the two sides were suitable.
Ming Wanwan is a native of Shuzhong, and her taste is heavy. It's no secret. Wan Wan knew in her heart that the cooks who made light dishes were the same as the little girls who shrunk their necks, and they were not happy to be chosen. Wan Wan is also not willing to pick someone who is unwilling to go back, and she simply calls herself to block her heart.
So she discarded the light dishes and only tasted the three dishes with the right shades, and chose the one she liked the most.
Tao Xiangdai pointed to the first dish, "My lord, that dish is made by the chef who is good at cooking." ”
Wan Wan shook her head, pointed to the dish she had chosen, and said, "That's it." The contract is counted as silver. ”
Tao Xiangdai was stunned again, that's all! Don't see anyone?
In the end, she is a very professional tooth person, although she was surprised in her heart, she quickly closed the deed and counted the silver. He also made a list of the things that Wan Wan had entrusted to sell, and settled the money once. After everything was handed over properly, the three servants lined up, and Wan Wan saw what the cook she had chosen looked like. I saw that she was very young, not much older than her little sister. Festive face, round figure.
Wan Wan looked at the person she had chosen. Well, the fat is fat, the skinny is skinny, the ugly is ugly.
