The time-traveling lady is too fierce
Chapter 147 Buying People
Shi Dalang and Li Qiuge left the house and got on the carriage. "Let's go to the brokerage now. I want to buy some people," Li Qiuge said to the driver while sitting in the carriage.
"Madam, there is a pawnshop in our East Market whose owner is a very honest person and the people he buys have clear backgrounds." The driver knew Yundu City very well.
When Li Qiuge proposed to buy someone, Shi Dalang did not object. She wanted to choose someone, so she could choose someone. As long as she was happy! After a while, the carriage stopped at the door of the pawnshop. Shi Dalang got off the carriage first, and then helped Li Qiuge get off.
After entering the dental shop, the boss hurriedly came up to greet them, "Oh, it's the master and the lady, please come in, please come in! I wonder what brings you here today?" Wen Liu, the boss of the dental shop, said.
Li Qiuge smiled and said, "We want to buy some servants." The boss nodded repeatedly, "No problem, no problem. The people here have been strictly screened and their backgrounds are guaranteed to be clean. Do you think there are any that you like?" Wen Liu looked at Shi Dalang and Li Qiuge. They had extraordinary temperaments and he would definitely be able to buy a few more. He must make the deal today!
The boss led them to a group of people standing in a row for Li Qiuge to choose from. Li Qiuge looked at each person carefully, while Shi Dalang silently observed her reaction.
Li Qiuge looked at the group of people Wen Liu had called over. Among them were old people, young people, and middle-aged people. In short, there were dozens of them! Their clothes were all tattered.
There were also a few people who looked like butlers nearby, selecting people who wanted to buy.
Li Qiuge couldn't help feeling sad as he watched. His eyes were drawn to the group of people in front of him. They were wearing all kinds of clothes, some were shabby, and some were wearing more gorgeous clothes. Their expressions were different, some had serious faces and seemed to be in deep thought; some looked anxious and their eyes were wandering.
Among the group, several businessmen were talking to the manager of the brokerage firm, their voices sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, and occasionally accompanied by some gestures. The guys on the side were busy carrying goods, their faces revealing fatigue and hard work.
Li Qiuge noticed that there were some people standing silently in the corner, watching everything around them, as if waiting for something. There was a kind of desire in their eyes, perhaps they were looking forward to a good business, or looking for some opportunity.
The whole dental shop was filled with a noisy and tense atmosphere, with people coming and going, each busy with their own things. Li Qiuge felt this atmosphere, and a sense of curiosity surged in his heart.
"Boss, I don't want those who made mistakes in the mansion and were sold out. I want a few accountants, and cooks and cooks who can cook. Can you recommend a few to me?" Li Qiuge hated the maids in the mansion who climbed into other people's beds, and she hated the gossiping old women even more!
"Madam, I understand what you are thinking. Please look at those maids over there. They were all sold by the mansion and are being chosen by those masters as concubines. The group of people I give you, although they are dressed in rags, have clean backgrounds. They are all old men! They all came this month!" Wen Liu answered seriously.
Li Qiuge nodded and said to the group of people, "Those of you who can do accounting and writing, it would be best if you have worked as accountants." Then Li Qiuge saw five or six middle-aged men in their forties or fifties walk out of the dozens of people. Then three or four young men in their twenties walked out.
"Tell me, you all have been accountants for several years, or you have some special skills, and why you are here." Li Qiuge said to the group of people.
The four or five middle-aged men looked at each other, and then an older man came out and bowed deeply to Li Qiuge!
"Madam, my name is Wei Zhong. I am from Shanxi. I have worked as an accountant for a wealthy family in Shanxi for more than 20 years. I was sold to my employer when I was young. Because my employer's son became an official and was exiled for corruption, we servants were also sold by the officials. The bosses of this dental clinic know this!" After saying this, Wei Zhong also became sad!
"Madam, he was indeed sold by the government, and he has never made any mistakes." Wen Liu meant that there was nothing wrong with his character, but he was implicated by his employer.
"Oh, since the dental firm is guaranteeing it, I can naturally trust it. What about your family?" The man is in his forties or fifties, so he must be married!
When Wei Zhong heard Li Qiuge's question, he knelt down immediately! "Madam, our whole family has been sold out and we are now in this pawnshop. The two in front are my sons! The one with the two little girls next to them is my wife! Madam, if you are willing to buy our family and keep us together, we will be willing to work like slaves for you!" At this time, the two young men that Wei Zhong pointed at also knelt down, and the woman with her two daughters also knelt down and kowtowed!
The two young men just listened to their parents' teachings yesterday. If they meet a good family, they should not worry about their parents and just pursue their own future. Even if they are destined to be servants, it is good enough if they can live a good life!
The two sons were unwilling to be separated from their parents. They refused to listen to their parents no matter what and were even beaten by their parents!
"This Yundu City is prosperous, but which family would be willing to buy a family like ours as slaves? Let's just give up this thought. Your mother and I hope that you can meet a good owner in the future who will buy you away so that you don't have to suffer! As for your two sisters, you'll have to leave it to fate. If you're lucky, you'll be bought as maids. If you're unlucky, you'll be bought as concubines. That's fate!" Wei Zhong's wife hugged her two daughters and cried!
Wei Zhong Zhou's wife used to be a laundry worker for her employer. Her two daughters were still young, and they also followed their mother to wash clothes and cook. His two sons, on the other hand, followed him as apprentices.
So the two sons are doing a good job of settling accounts now. I had planned to tell the boss in two years to let his two sons try other shops, but I didn’t expect something went wrong a few months ago!
When Li Qiuge asked about his family, Wei Zhong suddenly felt hopeful!
"How long have your two sons been learning accounting? Can they handle it independently?" Li Qiuge asked.
"My two sons have learned accounting from me for 7 or 8 years. They are doing quite well. The boss can give them a test!" Wei Zhong said nervously.
"I've studied for 7 or 8 years, so it should be about the same. My skills are not particularly complicated. The main thing is to be able to read and do accounting. What about your wife? What can she do?" Li Qiuge looked at his wife again. Zhou looked quite honest, and the rough skin on her hands showed that she was used to working.
"My wife helped with laundry in her former master's house, and also helped with cooking for the servants in the kitchen. The two daughters are still young, and they all help their mother, but they are very sensible!" Wei Zhong was afraid that Li Qiuge would dislike his two children!
