There's a Space Man in the Village [Rebirth]

Chapter 108

Some people are proud of the spring breeze, and some people are stumbled. This year, there are two talented people in Huangxi Village, but they are famous in the radius of 100 miles.

After the ancestor worship feast in the village, various invitations came one after another, and matchmakers from each village came one after another, hoping to befriend or marry these two young and promising scholars in their village.

Huo Zhuyuan's enthusiasm for these people is very measured, and he was not carried away by the momentary glory of being a scholar in the examination.

Except for the party posts sent by Master Li and his classmates, the rest of the town members pushed them politely and politely. They either reviewed at home or went to the factory to help his father and elder brother work.

In his free time, he also likes to chat with Huo Chengyi, and is very interested in some management systems of Huo Chengyi's factory and store.

Huo Chengyi is not stingy, he taught him some modern ideas, and how much he can learn depends on Huo Zhuyuan's own ability.

On the other hand, Liao Bocai, on the other hand, would go no matter who sent an invitation in the town.

After the exam, he would hang out at the banquets of various foreign masters almost every day, and he was simply proud of himself.

The one he went to the most was a family outside the family named Sun. The reason was very simple. This Sun family was the object of Liao Hongyu's remarriage this time.

It is said that the Sun Yuanwai is not only older, but more interesting is that the Sun family is also the nemesis of the Liu family.

Moreover, after the Sun family came to the village to recruit, the shopkeeper of a shop in the Liu family was dug into the corner.

The people in the village do not understand the simple thinking, they only sigh that Liao Hongyu has a good life and is so wealthy after marrying once and twice.

But when Huo Chengyi heard these gossips, he couldn't help sighing that Liao Hongyu was really a femme fatale.

There are so many Yuanwai masters in the town who are not good to marry, but they want to marry Sun Yuanwai. As soon as the marriage is decided, the Liu family loses a shopkeeper. This is either revenge or another bargaining chip for Liao Hongyu to marry the Sun family.

I have to say that Liao Hongyu is really skilled, and he is not soft-hearted at all.

Huo Chengyi can think of this, and Liu's family has been doing business for so many years.

I was so angry that I wanted to hit the wall, and I regretted that I had given birth to an unsatisfactory prodigal. I shouldn't have relented in the first place, and I should have sold this cheap hoof!

But now it's too late for the Liu family to regret it. Who would have thought that Liao Hongyu would have such a scheming.

And Huo Chengyi went to Jiang Fatzi's place immediately after sighing.

He and Liao Hongyu also had a holiday. This woman can trick the Liu family now, and maybe she will cause him trouble that day, so she must be careful.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, but be afraid of what happens. It's best to take precautions before everything happens.

Huo Chengyi didn't tell Xiaobai about these things.

Xiaobai is more than six months old now, twins are prone to premature birth, and people who are pregnant are the most thoughtful, so Xiaobai knows that he must be worried about cranky thoughts again.

Not only did he go to Fatty Jiang's place, but he also rushed to go to Master Li's place.

This woman, Liao Hongyu, was a little bit more poisonous than he expected. Before, he didn't want Liao Bocai to become the magistrate of Tongniu County, but now he absolutely cannot.

...

After finishing these trivial matters, Huo Chengyi began to consider buying a few servants to come back.

Aunt Miao and his mother-in-law helped to take care of the house, but the shop of 'Huoji Seasoning' was so busy.

Everything was planned well before, but I forgot about recruiting people.

At present, he and Zheng Tianjun are basically busy with everything in the store. The uncle's lobby brother and Zheng's second child, Uncle Zheng, have arranged to go to the factory and the building site respectively, and there is no reliable manpower to help.

There are still a lot of things in the village waiting for Huo Chengyi to arrange, but after the seasoning shop opened, he had to run to the town every day, and he couldn't get away at all.

So finding two juniors is an immediate solution.

However, it is a good idea for workers, but it is difficult to find reliable ones. After much deliberation, Huo Chengyi finally decided to buy a few servants.

The person who buys is not necessarily completely fine, but at least it is more reliable than a simple employment relationship.

He doesn't need how smart the people who work are, but the premise must be loyalty, otherwise he is too busy with things, and it is impossible to watch in the store anytime, anywhere.

If you want to grow your business, loyal and reliable subordinates are indispensable.

Xiaobai is going to give birth soon, and by the way, buy a few people to serve and come back.

After discussing with Xiaobai about buying slaves, Huo Chengyi took advantage of taking Xiaobai out for a breather to go shopping, and went to the tooth shop together.

Since he wants to serve the people in the buyer, he naturally has to let Xiaobai pick the one that is comfortable for him.

Tongniu County's tooth shop is easy to find, not far from the county office.

It is natural for the Yaxing to open its business here. First, the teeth dealers are also afraid that there will be too many slaves in their hands to rebel, so there is a yamen to help them feel at ease. .

"Is this lord wanting to buy a servant girl? It just so happens that we have a group of servants who sell from big families. Would you like to take a look?"

The tooth dealers in the tooth line are all good-looking, and they come up to say hello excitedly when they see people.

Huo Chengyi didn't talk much, and directly stated his request.

"I want two strong laborers who can work, literacy is the best, and I want a woman who can cook, and a little brother who is about the same age as my husband. Do you have any here?" The

strong laborer went to the store and cooked The rice-in-law and the younger brother stayed at home to serve and help.

After hearing this, the tooth seller quickly thought about the candidates in his mind, and beckoned them to sit down and drink tea, and quickly went down and brought a few people up.

A middle-aged man, a robust young man in his twenties, a middle-aged woman, a teenage brother, and a child of eight or nine years old.

Judging by the similarities in their faces and their trembling actions, they should be a family.

The introduction of the tooth seller is also true.

"My lord, it's hard to find strong laborers who can read and write. This family is the most suitable. They were sold by a big family in the county and county. Yes, the cooking skills are good..."

There are not many literate people here, and those with a little culture will not be too bad.

So if you want to buy a strong worker who can work and can read, it is just a matter of luck, and the tooth seller has to think for a long time before finding this suitable place.

"Now we only have this guy here who can read. If you want to buy the price, we won't charge too much. The total price is 40 taels. What do you think?"

According to the price of the dental office, a strong worker has 10 taels, and the one who can read is 20 taels. The female brother is 8 taels.

The tooth dealer now only needs 40 taels, and he took the initiative to reduce it by a few taels. This transaction is not cost-effective.

"Man in charge, according to the rules, you are making a loss in this transaction..."

Huo Chengyi looked around at the family of four in front of him, did not immediately nod to buy it, and smiled.

"Master said, you might as well tell the truth to you if you are young, you will be fine, don't worry, the main reason is that the family is not allowed to sell it separately, and the small one is helpless, so if you want to buy it, you can take the child away together. ." The

tooth dealer honestly explained, in fact, he was really helpless.

Generally speaking, this family is easy to pass up, and the servants from the big families in the county town are all rushing for it in a small place like Tongniu County.

However, this family of four is too stubborn. If they want to sell, they must sell them together, otherwise they will not be separated if they hit the wall.

But the people who come to buy it all want to buy it back to work. The child in this family is only eight or nine years old, and he looks sick. He must be raised when he buys it back. No one wants it. It has never been possible.

Now most of them meet Huo Chengyi's requirements, and he also expects the price to be cheaper to send people away, otherwise he will waste food if he keeps it.

"Master, in fact, it's definitely worthwhile for you to buy this family. This lady will also deliver the baby. Your husband will definitely be able to help a lot when he gives birth..."

In order to quickly send away the few food wastes, tooth The vendor is racking his brains to persuade.

The woman also nodded honestly, "Master, the little lady has experience in two or three..."

The fact that she would deliver a child was a matter of Huo Chengyi's heart.

He looked at the demeanor and hands and feet of several adults, and lowered his eyebrows and his hands with calluses. He was obviously an honest servant who was used to his work.

Although the child looked sick, his eyes were bright, and he was still very godly. He could buy it back for Xiao Loach and Da Ya to carry a schoolbag and be a book boy.

After thinking about it, Huo Chengyi finally looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Do you know how to do abacus?"

"Yes, I am very proficient. In the past, when the housekeeper collected bills and looked at the shop, he always brought a little boy, Dong Qi... "..." The

middle-aged man looked honest and honest, but his eyes were actually very good. As soon as he heard his words, he knew where he wanted to buy people, so he quickly nodded and replied.

He also took the initiative to tell his name, obviously very much hope that Huo Chengyi can buy them.

Dong Qi was a servant when he was a child, and he was very good at observing words and expressions. The two of them seemed to be relatively gentle people, and they would have a much better life with such a master.

Men can read and write, and women can also deliver children. Even if the others can only do manual work, it is very cost-effective to buy a family of four for forty-two.

"Okay, let's go through the formalities."

Huo Chengyi pondered that he was satisfied, and took out the money very readily.

The tooth seller took the money and smiled brightly, and Li Suo hurried down to write the deed of betrayal, for fear that he would go back on it.

Because the Yaxing was close to the Yamen, the procedures were handled quickly.

The kung fu tooth seller with a cup of tea came back with the official seal of the deed.

Huo Chengyi carefully looked at the terms of the sale contract and made sure that there was no problem, so he took people away.

Before leaving, he suddenly saw a few mighty men tied with ropes standing in the corner of the Yaxing lobby, his eyes lit up and he stopped.

"Those in charge, are those slaves?"

Although slaves and servants are both prostitutes, they are fundamentally different.

The servants are destined to sell themselves for a living in their own country, and the slaves are the prisoners of war in other countries.

These slaves have a lower status than the servants after being sold, and each slave's face will be marked with the word 'slave'.

But in contrast, slaves are more loyal, because they have the brand of slaves on their faces. Even if they run away, they are still caught as slaves, and there is absolutely no chance of freedom from human rights and resistance.

However, there are few slaves, only when there are wars. Now that the world is peaceful and no wars are fought, where did Yaxing come from?
