Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

As he spoke, he gently pulled over a woman who looked a little nervous and had gentle eyes. Her eyes revealed an unconcealable pride and love: "This is my wife. She has a pair of skillful hands. The food she cooks is fragrant and makes people linger. Her embroidery is even more delicate and exquisite. Every stitch and thread contains her thoughts and emotions."

Next to the woman stood a little boy about six years old, with a round face and eyes as bright as stars. He was naive and cute, and although a little shy in front of the crowd, he was still innocent and lively.

The man pushed his son forward, his tone full of pride: "This is my son. Although he is still young, he has already learned many household chores, such as sweeping the floor and making a fire. He is really a diligent and sensible child."

This introduction was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Seeing this, everyone started talking and began to talk about their own strengths and skills.

Then, a woman who was about fifty years old, with a kind face but a bit of vicissitudes in her eyes, said softly: "Master, I used to be a cook in a wealthy family. I am proficient in cooking all kinds of dishes and my cooking skills are excellent. Unfortunately, my family suddenly suffered misfortune. For the sake of my family, I had to reluctantly sell myself into a slave to ensure food and clothing for my family."

In the corner, a plump girl with rosy cheeks mustered up her courage, straightened her back, and shouted in a clear and firm voice: "Master, I am proficient in embroidery. I can make any cloth come alive with my flying needle. In addition, I am strong and healthy, so working in the fields is no problem!"

Her words showed both confidence and a vision for the future.

The Zhang family was quite curious about this plump girl with comprehensive skills. It made people wonder how such a clever and powerful girl could end up in such a situation.

"Why were you sold here?"

Zhang Mingyi asked softly with a look of concern and confusion in his eyes.

The girl lowered her head after hearing this, her cheeks flushed, her eyes flickered with shyness and gloom: "There are many people in our family, and my brothers and sisters are crying for food. I was born with a big appetite, and my parents are worried that they can't bear such a burden. In desperation, they have to..."

When she said this, her voice gradually became low and she lowered her head even lower, as if she didn't want anyone to see the barely noticeable tears in the corners of her eyes.

The matchmaker knew in her heart that the girl's appetite was truly staggering, almost comparable to that of two strong men.

Although many buyers were attracted by her skills, they were deterred by her astonishing appetite.

If I continue to delay, the cost will be very high, so I decided to take this opportunity to sell her at a lower price to avoid causing greater losses.

Xu Liyun's eyes lingered on the four people in front of her again, and then she turned to look at Zhang Wuya and Xiao Youniang beside her, asking in a somewhat inquiring tone: "What do you think? Do these people meet our needs?"

Zhang Wuya was gentle and obedient. She gently held her mother's arm and answered softly, "It's up to you, Dad. I think each of these people has his or her own merits and are all good candidates."

Xiao Youniang proposed a more practical suggestion: "Why not buy them all? The little boy is smart and can give Mingyi a companion to study with in the future. As for the girl..."

She leaned close to Xu Liyun's ear and lowered her voice, "Her appetite is indeed a consideration, but since she is so capable, why don't we take this opportunity to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision."

Her words contained both rational analysis and a bit of sympathy and understanding.

The girl heard this and had a premonition in her heart.

Past experience taught her that when her secrets were revealed, it often caused buyers to back off.

The matchmaker had taught her many times how to conceal her appetite in order to improve her appearance. However, her sincerity and unwillingness to deceive put her in a deep conflict and struggle.

When the couple heard what the Zhang family was talking about, their faces suddenly lit up with joy.

In the past, they were either chosen by their masters as husbands alone, or just as a pair of laborers, and very few people were willing to accept their family of three at the same time. This time, the generosity and tolerance of the Zhang family was undoubtedly a ray of light in their destiny.

Seeing this, Renyazi immediately put on a flattering smile, and his words were full of flattery and fawning: "My dear sir and madam, it seems that you two have already made up your mind? Have you decided on these four excellent servants? Hey, this strong and lovely fat girl, would you like to consider it? I can give you a big discount, five taels of silver, how about it? Look at her physique, she will definitely be able to do twice the result with half the effort!"

Zhang Laoer calculated quickly in his mind that this price was indeed very attractive. He recalled that when he first bought Xiaoqiu and Xiaotao, the price of each of them was as high as ten taels of silver.

"Well, in addition to these four, I would like to pick another strong man and two hardworking women. My family is in urgent need of manpower."

"Okay, okay, Master, take your time to choose and just give me your instructions."

The smile on Ren Yazi's face was as bright as a blooming flower. Not only was the transaction today large in amount, but he also successfully solved the problem of that troublesome fat girl. It seemed that the shopkeeper's reward was just around the corner. A large sum of money could also be saved on the kitchen's daily expenses. It was truly a double happiness.

Xu Liyun examined the people in the market shrewdly, and finally fixed her eyes on two young but extremely clever girls.

Although these two children are still young and look no more than seven or eight years old, their bright eyes and agile movements reveal intelligence beyond their age, and they must be very fast learners.

The little girl slowly walked towards a thin man standing in the corner.

He was thin and his clothes were a little shabby, giving people the feeling that he would fall down if the wind blew.

The young lady approached quietly and asked with concern: "Do you have any skills? Or do you know how to farm?"

There was a hint of worry between her brows, obviously worried that the other two were old and if they were bought back, she would have to take on the responsibility of supporting them in their old age soon.

The man was introverted and not good at speaking. Faced with the sudden concern, his eyes unconsciously lowered and he seemed a little overwhelmed.

He hesitated for a moment, raised his head reluctantly, and answered in a low and slightly hoarse voice: "I don't know how to farm, but if you are willing to give me a chance, I am willing to learn. I am willing to work hard at anything."

Seeing this, Xu Liyun's eyes flashed with a sharpness. She asked directly and decisively: "So, what are your specialties or advantages? Why did you fall to the point of being sold by human traffickers?"

As an experienced housekeeper, Xu Liyun is well aware that the background and character of every person who is about to enter the family must be thoroughly investigated to avoid inviting wolves into the house in the future and bringing unpredictable disasters to the family.
