Chapter 193: Muscle Knots
Generally speaking, if a family is sold together, they will be broken up and sold to different places, and if you are lucky, you will go to a large family, so that you will have a guarantee of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and if you are unlucky, you will have to do hard work day after day if you are not hungry.
Basically, as long as they sell themselves into this kind of place, the family does not dare to hope to be bought by the same buyer, and when they enter here, they only hope that they can find a good owner's house with better luck, and it is enough to have food and a shelter from the wind and rain.
Jiang Yan beckoned to her mother-in-law, and a detached and polite smile appeared on her face: "Old sister, since the matter of buying and selling human beings is in your charge, what kind of selling method is this family?"
I'm also the old patron of Shangguan's shopkeeper, and my sister doesn't offer high prices, you name the number, if I think it's suitable, I'll buy it together. ”
Jiang Yan's initial impression of this family of three is still good, although only Song Tao is a strong laborer, but there is also a lack of women in the family.
Just can help cook, as for the children, you can also accompany Xiaodouzi and Xiao Wu, if you can't do it, you can also assign Xiao Si and Erbi to be scholars, and there will be nothing to do.
"The eldest sister is telling the truth, since you have the heart to want this family, my sister and I will naturally not make a random price, our general strong labor here is twelve taels, the young woman is about nine taels, the children are cheaper, six or seven taels, this family of three counts you twenty-seven taels."
After the autumn harvest, the number of refugee beggars in the entire county and town has increased significantly, and more and more people sell themselves, so the price is much cheaper, and Jiang Yan is an acquaintance of the old owner, and the woman does not dare to open a high price.
Jiang Yan frowned and looked at the family of three who were still kneeling on the ground.
Twenty-seven taels buy a family!
is still the kind of person who signed the deed of sale, the kind of death deed, which is equivalent to being someone else's slave in this life, and people in this era are too worthless, thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
But thinking of Xiao Wu and Erbi at that time, she sighed in her heart, if she hadn't found it immediately, maybe the two children would have been sold somewhere, and she still remembered that the two children had only sold four taels of silver together.
"The price is expensive, this child looks only seven or eight years old, there are so many scars on his face, there is only a handful of bones left in the thin one, he is sick and crooked, and he doesn't know if he can raise it or not, you still need six taels, and no one may want you to give it away alone."
Lao Wu's cold and hard voice interrupted a few people, his majestic and sturdy body took a few steps forward, his eyes lingered on the child, there was no superfluous expression on his face, but everywhere he expressed his dissatisfaction with the offer of the mother-in-law.
Jiang Yan bought someone for the first time, but Lao Wu is an expert in this area, what he said is always right, her face sank, and she immediately cooperated: "Old sister, don't lie to me, I just met with their family, don't think that we know each other and give me random stuff." ”
Lin Dong and Lin Nan also immediately stood up cooperatively, with a face full of displeasure.
"That is, if we want to buy people, we must have the strength to work, this kid can't do anything, and he will have to raise him for a while to work when he goes back like this."
"That's it, Mrs. Yan, you can quote again."
Although the family is rich now, the two of them have been poor since they were children, and they can save if they can, and they will build a house next, and there are more places for the family to use money, so they can't just be huo.
The lady hurriedly smiled: "What I said is that this child is indeed thinner than other children, so let's do not offer a price, twenty-seven is counted as twenty-five taels, this price is low enough, as long as this family of three gives a full meal, everyone can go to the ground." ”
Jiang Yan nodded: "Then thank you, old sister, it's an acquaintance after all, since it's fate, then I'll take it all." ”
After speaking, she beckoned to the old lady again, this time the lady finally understood what Jiang Yan meant, picked up the tea on the stone table and drank it all, and did not forget to smash it twice after drinking.
Jiang Yan saw that she had drunk all the tea, a touch of fierceness flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face was a little more sincere, she turned to Song Tao's family and said: "Since it has been negotiated, your family of three will follow me in the future, and you have been here for a long time, Lao Song, to see if there is any strong labor with good character, I will pick a few more people." ”
Bang bang bang!
After a few more neat and solid sounds, Song Tao couldn't help crying, thinking that their family didn't need to be separated, his choked voice said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I'm going to pick someone for you! ”
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly pressed the back of his stupid son's head, and the family stumbled a few more in a row, until Jiang Yan asked them to get up again, and Song Tao hurriedly pulled his wife and children to stand up.
He wiped away his tears and walked to the group of people behind him, their family had been here for a long time, and they were familiar with these people, not to mention that they knew everything, but they basically had an understanding.
After all, they are now both commodities, and they can be said to be competitors to each other when facing buyers.
Sometimes when he encounters rich and powerful patrons, he will even fight, so at this time he can come to pick people instead of the main family, and many familiar or unfamiliar people can't help but look at him expectantly.
His eyes lingered on this group of people, this was the first task given to him by his benefactor, he must choose a strong labor force that is honest and healthy, and must not live up to the expectations of his benefactor.
A thin young man in the crowd who was only skinny and skinny was glued to Song Tao's eyes, and the expectation in his eyes almost overflowed with substance, but when he thought of his monkey-like body, he couldn't help but worry.
Song Tao naturally saw him, his eyes fell on the young man, and he wanted to talk to him several times, but in the end he could only feel guilty, and his eyes firmly chose someone else who was stronger.
The young man seemed to know this, and smiled faintly at Song Tao, as if he had accepted the facts.
"Benefactor, I have chosen everything, these people have helped people build houses before, and they have also farmed with the landlord's family, these two have also stayed in the martial arts hall before, they are strong, honest and duty, in addition to being able to work, they can also protect their benefactors."
Song Tao led him to pick five young adults, ranging from their teens to their thirties, all of whom were tall and tall.
The strongest one was wearing a big coat, the green tendons on his arms were protruding, the muscles on his body were varied and knotted, and the biceps shoulders and backs were bulging with an exaggerated and amazing sense of strength, as if they could burst out at any time.
Jiang Yan walked over and looked at a few people, these five people have ordinary facial features, but their muscles are obvious, not like ordinary croppers, and standing together at the same time makes people feel very oppressive.
In addition, Song Tao said that there were two people in the martial arts hall, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that they could buy it, and if someone made trouble in the store, they could also suppress it by force.
