Chapter 84 Buying a Slave

Chapter 84 Buying a Slave ([-])

Daxuan looked at him carefully, but didn't speak, the surrounding was silent, only the sound of kowtow was heard.

Grandma Chen took a look at Daxuan, thinking that the young lady disagreed, so she kicked the boy in the face, "You don't know what to do, it's your luck that the high officials see you, and you want to drag your family with you, and they owe you money." Just like a debt collector, get out of here quickly," then turned to look at Daxuan with a smile on her face, "Miss, don't be fussy with these poor ghosts, he's not smart, most of them are strong men, Just pick and choose."

Daxuan's face was sullen, the boy was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he couldn't get angry after being slapped in the face. Slumped on the ground.

"It's just him," Da Xuan said coldly, "along with his family."

Granny Chen immediately smiled, "It's 50 taels for a group of six," she calculated, since she is so easy to talk, she must be easy to cheat.

Daxuan glanced at Granny Chen's ferocious face like a door god, "Don't bully us because we don't understand the market, a servant can only be two taels of silver at most, and you are asking for ten taels of silver now, it seems that this business can't be done, I have to find another house, Humph."

When Chen Po heard this, her complexion was even whiter than the pink on her face, "It would take three or two at least, but it can't be less."

"Two liang of silver a piece, if you disagree, I will go to the opposite door, so don't delay everyone's business," Da Xuan said.

Granny Chen gritted her teeth bitterly, "Okay, everyone, you can help with the business if you need it in the future." She thought she was being taken advantage of, but she didn't think that a girl is better than anyone else. Although she earns less than business, she still earns money.

"Hurry up and pack your things and follow us," Da Xuan glanced at them.

The two girls were overjoyed, but they didn't move. Amei explained, "We don't have anything. We can leave with you as long as the official takes the bond of sale."

It was only then that Daxuan realized that there was such a thing as a contract of sale.

The boy hurried to the backyard and took his father, mother and brother out, and the family kowtowed heavily to them three times.

Daxuan couldn't accept people kowtowing all the time, so she could only tell them to get up quickly.

Granny Chen gave them a dark look, these heartless people, my old lady gave you free food and drink for so long, and in a blink of an eye, I can't wait to please the new master.

The time when they got home was about the same as the usual closing time, and it was the same sunset glow. Daxuan put them in the side room. There were three rooms in the side room, and one room was just divided between the two. Yao Yangyan boiled water for them to take a shower. Changed their old clothes for them, and after taking a shower, they all stood in the yard, waiting for the distribution of the new owner.

Yao shi was cooking in the kitchen, and Zhu Sanmin followed suit. They thought it would be best to entrust Daxuan with the assignments, so Daxuan stood in the yard and listened to them talk about what they were best at.

Ah Mei can do general work, while Ah Ting can do all farm work. A typical good girl, but the plague is prevalent in their place, and all relatives and relatives are dead. Begging all the way to Qingzhou, and then sold to tooth dealers.

And the youngest of the family, the elder of the Mo family is called Mo Tai, his mother-in-law is called Chen Shi, the eldest son Mo Daniu, and the youngest son Mo Xiaoniu. Due to the severe drought in Dezhou, the family has no crops. The family has no food. The relatives were also extremely poor, so they drove them out. When they met a tooth dealer, the tooth dealer promised to give them work and food, so they signed a contract of sale. Although they were considered to have food, they really fell into the hands of Mrs. Chen. .

It turned out that she was still happy, Daxuan said in her heart, with enough food and clothing, a harmonious family, no homelessness, no hunger or cold.

"Old Mo, Aunt Chen, and Mavericks," Daxuan said to them, "from now on, the three of you will be responsible for housekeeping, cooking and cleaning, while Amei, Ating and Da Niu, you will come with us to help in the store. Each of the four sets of clothes has two sets in summer, and each month costs one or two taels of silver," Da Xuan paused after she finished speaking, thinking that there was nothing to add.

At this time, a young and clear voice sounded, "Big sister, do I have monthly money? I really want to earn money to provide a good life for my parents," but his eyes were full of hope and fear, afraid of her. Teach him like the old woman did.

Daxuan heard that her heart was extremely soft. Although she was only ten years old, she was already twenty years old in her heart. There was no reason not to feel distressed when facing a sensible and well-behaved child.

It's just that before she spoke, Mo Lao who was next to him scolded him, "The child talks nonsense, and if he talks again, he will beat him up." Then he apologized to Daxuan in fear, "The child speaks without restraint, Miss, please forgive me." Once he comes back, our family will definitely work hard."

"Xiao Niu," Da Xuan said softly, "You also have a month or two of money, but you have to be good and don't let your parents worry, okay!" Da Xuan squatted down like coaxing a child. A kid in his teens looks quite funny, because although the calf is small, it is still six years old.

"Sister, I will be obedient," Maverick nodded solemnly.

Here, Mr. Mo and Mrs. Chen had tears in their eyes, saying that they would kneel and kowtow when they met a nobleman, but Da Xuan coaxed them over by scaring them.

The meals in the kitchen have been prepared. Since Daxuan traveled here, the family basically eats white rice, good meat and dishes, and today is no exception. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried pork with peppers, stewed pork ribs, and a big plate of each dish , as the population increases.

Mr. Mo and the others dared not eat the food when they saw the food, saying it was too good. Mrs. Yao and the others were fine all the time. They ate together, but Mr. Mo refused to say anything. How could a servant serve with the master? Have to wait for them to finish before eating.

Daxuan's affection for this family increased, and she didn't force it. She opened another dining table and shared the dishes, each eating their own food, so they were willing to eat obediently. After the meal, Aunt Chen and A Ting rushed to wash the dishes, Yao Shi also knew that they were honest people, so if they didn't want to eat free rice, they could let them.

It is good to have someone at your disposal. In the morning, when everyone came together, Aunt Chen prepared breakfast and waited for them. Aunt Chen was very good at cooking, pancakes, fried rice, and soup. Everyone shouted that it was delicious.

The work in the store was also assigned to the three of them. Daniel was in charge of loading and closing orders, A Ting washed the dishes, and Amei cooked the noodles.

"Prepare five bowls of noodles," Daniel said at the door.

Ah Mei cooked the noodles right away, Liu Haitao added to the fire, and Yao Yangyan taught from the side, as if he had become a master chef.

"Amei, every time you set the bowl first, it will be faster," Yao Yangyan corrected her mistake earnestly.
