Chapter 193 Muscle Knot
Generally speaking, if a family is sold into housing together, they will be broken up and sold to different places. If you are lucky enough to go to a wealthy family, you will be guaranteed basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you are unlucky, you will have to live without enough food.
Doing hard work day after day.
Basically, as long as they sell themselves and enter a place like this, the whole family does not dare to expect to be bought by the same buyer. After entering this place, they just hope that they will be lucky enough to find a good owner, have food to eat and shelter from the wind and rain.
place is enough.
Jiang Yan waved to her mother-in-law, with a distant yet polite smile on her face: "Sister, since you are in charge of the business of buying and selling people, how do you sell this family?
After all, I am also a regular customer of Shopkeeper Shangguan. Sister, please don’t charge a high price. Just tell me the number. If I think it’s suitable, I’ll buy them all together.”
Jiang Yan's initial impression of this family of three was good. Although Song Tao was the only strong worker, the family also lacked a woman.
It just happens that I can help with the cooking. As for the children, they can also accompany Xiaodouzi and Xiaowu. If that doesn't work, they can be assigned to Xiaosi and Erbi as book boys. They will never run out of things to do.
"Sister, you are telling the truth. Since you are determined to have this family, sister, I will not raise the price randomly. The average strong labor force here is twelve taels. A young woman is about nine taels. Children are cheaper, six or seven taels.
If you have both, this family of three counts as your twenty-seven taels."
Na Po grinned, her yellow teeth glaring suddenly in her smile. After the autumn harvest, the number of refugee beggars in the entire county and town increased significantly. More and more people sold themselves, so the prices were much cheaper. In addition, Jiang Yan was his old employer.
I am an acquaintance and my mother-in-law doesn’t dare to ask for high prices.
Jiang Yan frowned and looked at the family of three who were still kneeling on the ground.
Twenty-seven taels buys a family!
It's the kind of person who signed a life contract or a death contract, which means that he will be someone else's slave for the rest of his life. People in this era are too worthless. Thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
But when she thought about Xiao Wu and Er Bi at that time, she felt sad. If they hadn't found them immediately, the two children might have been sold somewhere, and she still remembered that the two children were sold together for only four taels of silver.
"The price is too high. This kid looks only seven or eight years old. He has so many scars on his face. He is so skinny that he has only a handful of bones. He looks sick and crooked. I don't know if he can be well cared for. You still need six more."
Two, even if you give them away alone, no one will want them."
Old Wu's cold voice interrupted several people. His mighty and sturdy body took a few steps forward, his eyes lingering on the child. There was no unnecessary expression on his face, but he expressed his dissatisfaction with Ya Po's quotation everywhere.
.
Jiang Yan was buying someone for the first time, but Lao Wu was an expert in this field. What he said was right. Her face darkened and she immediately cooperated: "Sister, please don't lie to me. I only met their family by chance.
, don’t try to trick me indiscriminately just because we know each other.”
Lin Dong and Lin Nan also immediately stepped forward in cooperation, with displeasure on their faces.
"That is, if we want to buy someone, we must have the strength to work. This child can't do anything. It looks like he will have to be raised for a while before he can work."
"That's right, Granny, please give me a new price."
Although the family is rich now, they have been accustomed to being poor since they were young. They save as much as they can, and they have to build a house next. There are many places for the family to spend money, so they cannot spend it carelessly.
The old woman quickly apologized and smiled: "What I'm saying is that compared with other children, this child is indeed a little thinner. So, I won't make a price. Twenty-seven will be counted as twenty-five taels. This price is low enough.
Now, as long as this family of three is given a full meal, everyone can go to the fields."
Jiang Yan nodded: "Thank you, sister, after all, we are just acquaintances. Since we met by fate, I will take them all away."
After saying that, she waved to the old woman again. This time, the old woman finally understood what Jiang Yan meant. She picked up the tea on the stone table and drank it all in one gulp, not forgetting to smash it twice.
When Jiang Yan saw that she had finished drinking the tea, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face became more sincere. She turned to Song Tao's family and said, "Since the agreement has been reached, the three of you will follow me from now on."
Well, also, Lao Song, you have been here for a long time. Let’s see if there are any strong workers with good character. I will select a few more people.”
Bang bang bang!
After a few more neat and solid ringings, Song Tao couldn't help crying. Thinking that their family would not have to be separated, he choked with emotion and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, my benefactor, thank you! I'll go pick someone for you right now!"
After saying that, he hurriedly pressed the back of his silly son's head. The family kowtowed a few more times with tears of gratitude. It wasn't until Jiang Yan asked them to get up again that Song Tao hurriedly pulled his wife and children to stand up.
He wiped away his tears and walked up to the group of people behind him. His family had spent a lot of time in this hut, and they were quite familiar with them. They didn't know all of them, but they all had a basic understanding.
After all, they are now both commodities, and when facing buyers, they can be said to be competitors.
Sometimes when he meets a wealthy and powerful customer, he will even get into a fight, so at this time he can come and choose someone on behalf of the owner, and many people who are familiar or unfamiliar can't help but look at him expectantly.
His eyes lingered on this group of people. This was the first task entrusted to him by his benefactor. He must choose strong laborers who were honest in their duties and in good health. He must not let down his benefactor's expectations.
A skinny young man in the crowd fixed his eyes tightly on Song Tao, the expectation in his eyes almost overflowing with substance, but when he thought of his monkey-like body, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Song Tao naturally saw him, his eyes fell on the young man, and he wanted to ask him a few times, but in the end he could only choose someone else who was stronger with a guilty look on his face and firm eyes.
The young man seemed to have known this for a long time. He smiled faintly at Song Tao and seemed to have accepted the fact.
"I have chosen my benefactors. These people have helped others build houses and farmed land with the landlord's family before. These two have also stayed in martial arts schools before. They are strong and honest. In addition to being able to work
, and can also protect the benefactor.”
Song Tao led him to select five young adults, ranging in age from ten to thirty, and all of them were tall and tall.
The strongest one was wearing a large mandarin jacket. The veins on his arms were protruding, the muscles on his body were flexed and knotted, and his biceps shoulders and backs bulged with an exaggerated and astonishing sense of strength, as if they could explode at any time.
Jiang Yan walked over and looked at a few people. These five people had ordinary facial features, but their muscles were obvious. They did not look like ordinary farmers. Standing together at the same time made people feel oppressive.
In addition, Song Tao said that there were two people in the store who had stayed in the martial arts school. Jiang Yan suddenly felt that she could buy them all. If someone made trouble in the store, she could suppress them with force.
