Chapter 43 A discerning eye
No matter whether it is the velvet antlers and deer blood collected earlier or the Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng collected later, they are all rare treasures. The most rare thing is that these things are of good quality. After he prepares them and resells them, he can make back his money with a profit.
The shopkeeper's eyes were smiling so much that they became slits. In order to share his joy, he gave each of his shop assistants a reward of 50 cents. After receiving the reward, the shop assistants all smiled happily and worked even harder.
Lin Chuyi, who was leaving, naturally didn't know about the shopkeeper's reward. She was wholeheartedly carrying out her next plan.
She spent three hundred taels to buy an empty house near the county town. Although the location of the house was relatively remote, it was large enough and had three courtyards.
After completing the transfer procedures at the government office and obtaining the house deeds and land deeds, Lin Chuyi went to the Yahang.
The so-called "Yahang" is the place where people are bought and sold officially. Most of the people who are bought and sold are the families of criminals, or the maids and servants of officials. Others are those whose families cannot afford to support them and thus sign the indenture to sell themselves voluntarily or involuntarily.
Lin Chuyi selected a housekeeper and two cooks from the Yahang and bought their indentures for six taels of silver.
They were originally servants employed by officials. Later, their masters encountered trouble and their entire family was wiped out. These servants were then distributed to various places and sold again.
When they first arrived in Qingping County, they were still a little arrogant. After all, they came from big cities and knew many rules. They should be able to do well in such a small place.
Who would have thought that after two or three years, people around them had left one after another, but still no one wanted them. Gradually, their spirits were worn down and they just hoped to leave that place one day.
When Lin Chuyi went there that day, she asked the old lady to call out all the people in the group and activated the skill "Insightful Eyes". The basic information of the group of people standing in front of her then floated in front of them in text form.
This was the third time Lin Chuyi used this function. The first time was on Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng, and the second time was on Lin Jinxiu.
After using the skill of identifying pearls with keen eyes, the other party's name, age, personality, preferences, specialties, achievements and talent points will be displayed.
The two children’s current hobbies are very simple. Like many children of the same age, they cannot avoid eating, drinking, playing and having fun. Their specialties and achievements are currently unknown.
Lin Wuyou's talent points showed two stars for martial arts and four stars for imagination. Lin Chuyi felt that she could be trained to be a writer, and perhaps she could become a literary master in the future.
Lin Cheng's talent points showed three stars for business and four stars for officialdom, which was also the decisive factor why Lin Chuyi wanted to send him to take the imperial examination.
Talent points only show the top two or three potentials of an opponent. Although talent cannot determine everything, it is true that choosing the right path can help you avoid many detours.
It just so happened that he himself had the same intention, so Lin Chuyi naturally had no reason to object.
As for Lin Jinxiu's love for embroidery, her talent points show two stars for embroidery and four and a half stars for business, which means that Lin Jinxiu's talent for embroidery is average and she may never reach the level of an embroidery master in her entire life.
But her business talent has reached four and a half stars, which is only one step away from the full five-star level. Perhaps she can take another path to save the country indirectly.
Lin Chuyi also has preliminary plans for Lin Jinxiu's future, but it is too early to say this now.
There were as many as twenty people standing in front of Lin Chuyi, all of whom were selected by the old woman according to Lin Chuyi's requirements.
At this time, a lot of basic information was displayed on their bodies. Lin Chuyi looked at them one by one in silence.
The people standing opposite Lin Chuyi were a little surprised when they found out that the person who came to select the person this time was just a child.
Generally, those who come to select people are elderly housekeepers. Some wealthy families will even ask the maid to bring people to their house for the master to choose.
This was the first time they had met someone like Lin Chuyi who was looking for someone at his age, so they couldn't help but feel a little curious about Lin Chuyi.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone who received the order from the old lady quickly put down what they were doing, tidied their appearance, and gathered in the main courtyard.
The old woman led Lin Chuyi out of the house, stood on the steps, looked at the people below, and waited for Lin Chuyi's selection result.
When Lin Chuyi was looking at them, they were also observing her. Some people saw that although the clothes Lin Chuyi was wearing were new, they were not made of precious fabrics, which showed that her family was not well off. They felt that there was no future in following such a master, so they lowered their heads and hid backwards inconspicuously, fearing that they would be chosen by Lin Chuyi.
Lin Chuyi understood what these people were thinking, and she didn't want to care about anything. People go to high places and water flows to low places. This is human nature, and she can understand it.
People with different ideas cannot work together. They didn't want to go with her, and she had no intention of taking them away. Lin Chuyi walked straight past those people and picked Jin Manlou standing on the right and the mother and daughter Tian Jinlan and Tian Xiaoxi standing in the back.
None of the three had expected that they would be chosen, and they all looked at Lin Chuyi with joy. As for the others who were not chosen, some were happy while others were disappointed.
Lin Chuyi no longer had the heart to watch any further, and followed the woman back to the house to get the money in exchange for the contract.
In addition to the six taels of money that Lin Chuyi gave to the old woman and the other three people for selling their bodies, he also gave the old woman one tael of money for her hard work.
The old woman also came to the rescue and briefly described to Lin Chuyi what she knew about the past experiences of these three people.
Lin Chuyi acted as if he was listening attentively. The more the old lady talked, the more excited she became. However, the origins of the three people were simple, and she had finished telling them all in less than a cup of tea. The old lady was still not satisfied with what she had said, so she simply started to recommend other people to Lin Chuyi.
Lin Chuyi could only shirk responsibility by saying that there were enough people and they would talk about it next time if they needed anything. The old lady had no choice but to give up.
Maybe the old lady felt that Lin Chuyi got along well with her, so when Lin Chuyi and his friends left, she went to see them off in person, and even told Lin Chuyi to come again next time to please him.
When Lin Chu heard her tone, she sounded just like the madam of a brothel in a TV drama, and she was a frequent visitor there. With this association, Lin Chu got goose bumps all over his body. He responded with a few words and quickly took his people away.
While Lin Chuyi was handing over to the old lady, the three of them went to pack their luggage, and each of them was carrying a package.
There weren't many things in the package, just two sets of clothes for each person and some personal belongings. Things like bed sheets and quilts were public property and they had no right to take them away.
Lin Chuyi glanced at their bags, turned around and asked them to follow her. She was going to take them to her newly bought house.
The fact that she chose these three people must have their own strengths.
Jin Manlou is thirty-three years old this year. At the age of sixteen, he took over his father's position and became the steward in charge of kitchen purchases for the master's family. He has a straightforward and stubborn personality and often offends people unintentionally, so he is still a steward after working for more than ten years.
The reason why Lin Chuyi chose him was because his talent in arithmetic reached three stars. If he could be trained well, he could be made the accountant in the future. If he could figure it out, he could be the chief butler.
