I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 499 The Cannon Fodder Who Died in Exile (17)

"Guest officer, this woman's surname is Shen. After marrying into her husband's family, her husband was a gambler and died not long after. She took care of her in-laws at her husband's house until the death of her parents-in-law. Because she had no children, her family would not accept her." She, her husband's family also kicked her out. So now she just needs to find someone who can give her a bite to eat. Selling herself is not much money, just eight taels. She has been taking care of her in-laws at home before, so It is still possible to cook, and it is also quick to work, it is definitely a good helper."

After hearing this, Shi's father looked Mrs. Shen up and down, but didn't pick up on Mrs. Shen's words.

When the matchmaker saw Shi's father's appearance, her heart turned cold.

This Mrs. Shen couldn't have smashed her hands, right?

The matchmaker was right about Mrs. Shen's life experience, but she concealed a little bit.

That is, although Mrs. Shen can cook and work quickly, she has one biggest shortcoming, that is, she can eat.

After staying with her for several months, the amount of food she ate every day was three times that of her own.

When I thought about how long would I have to support Mrs. Shen if she couldn't be sold?

If she continued to eat like this, no matter how much money she earned, she would still be poor.

But if she wanted to sell the person for a good price, she couldn't make the person so hungry and emaciated, then she couldn't sell it even more.

The most important thing is that her heart is not cruel enough.

Coupled with the time that Mrs. Shen stayed at her house, she was really diligent and quick to work.

But I can't stand the fact that my family has so much food, let her make it!

The toothmaid's heart, following Shi's father's eyes, went up and down.

Just when Shi's father turned his head, the prostitute blurted out, "Five taels, guest officer, I only charge you five taels of silver for Mrs. Shen."

Father Shi, who originally wanted to make a decision to buy it, suddenly choked and watched the matchmaker remain silent.

However, the look on her face that she thought there was something wrong with Mrs. Shen made the matchmaker see her, and couldn't help feeling guilty.

The matchmaker braced herself, stretched out her little finger, gestured and said: "Guest officer, don't worry, the servants who are sold from me will definitely have no problems. This Mrs. Shen has no other serious problems, that is, I can eat a little bit."

Father Shi originally thought there was some other problem, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment. If Mrs. Shen can eat it if the matchmaker is willing to drop three taels of silver, how far can she eat it?

"Is there anyone else, I'll take a look!"

Shi's father didn't reject it outright, he just thought about it and tried to pick and choose.

Hearing Shi's father say this, the prostitute knew that the matter was very serious, she sighed secretly, and called other women out to show Shi's father.

After Shi's father looked over the next few women, his brows frowned slightly, or they didn't look very honest, after all, when he looked over, his eyes were still rolling.

And when he was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at himself, and when he saw the clothes that Shi's father was wearing, Shi's father couldn't help but frown when he secretly curled his lips.

It seems that these women must have done something wrong and were kicked out of the mansion.

And just by looking at it, it was obvious that the prostitute didn't teach them how to be honest servants.

Of the remaining two, one was too young and looked a little frivolous.

The other one looked honest, but the dirt in the crevices of the nails made Shi's father feel a little disgusted when he saw it.

After picking and looking, it turns out that Mrs. Shen is the best.

At least her hair is combed meticulously, her appearance is docile, and the gaps between her nails are clean.

Forget it, eat as much as you can!

When she heard that Shi's father bought Mrs. Shen, the matchmaker was very relieved.

The smile became much more sincere, and after she accepted the money, she went to the yamen and handed Mrs. Shen's deed of prostitution to Father Shi.

Mrs. Shen followed Shi's father back to the village obediently, met Shi's mother and Shi Jiang, and also called Mrs. and Miss, and quickly took over the housework and started doing it.

With such a discerning eye toward Mrs. Shen, my father was relieved of his worried thoughts.

Unfortunately, he relaxed too soon.

After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Shen cooked three dishes, one soup and one pot of rice. The three members of Shi's family ate a small bowl of rice and some noodles. I thought there were too many leftovers, and I was afraid they would have to save them until tomorrow. Eat leftovers.

Shi's mother was thinking about asking Mrs. Shen to cook less rice tomorrow, and then she witnessed a miraculous moment.

When Mrs. Shen saw that the hosts had finished their meal, she hid in the kitchen, took out a basin, poured all the leftover food into the basin, and chewed it all together with the rice cakes at the bottom of the pan. Broken and eaten into the stomach.

Originally, I wanted to tell Mrs. Shen, but when I walked over, I happened to see the food in the big bowl held by Mrs. Shen decrease and disappear little by little, and the jaws of the three members of the Shi family almost dropped.

Shi Jiang felt that he was watching a live eating and broadcasting show.

It took a long time for Shi's mother to close her mouth, and then gave Shi's father a hard look.

How could their family afford such a servant who could eat?

Father Shi didn't expect that Mrs. Shen's food could be eaten to this extent.

Sure enough, women's advantages cannot be taken advantage of.

Originally, he thought it was three liang of silver cheaper, but according to the way Mrs. Shen eats, how much food would it cost?

Mrs. Shen finished eating in big gulps, and when she looked up, she saw the new master's family of three staring at her dumbfounded.

Suddenly, my hands trembled in fright, and the basin fell to the ground with a bang.

Fortunately, the pot is relatively strong, and the floor in the kitchen is solid, so it didn't break.

But even so, Mrs. Shen felt that she might encounter a job crisis on the first day she arrived at the new master's house.

Thinking that if I was sent back to the prostitute again, I am afraid that the prostitute would not want to support me anymore.

Mrs. Shen shivered, knelt down and said: "Master, madam, this servant will not dare to eat like this again next time. It's just that I was so hungry during this period, I couldn't hold back my mouth, so I ate the rest of the meal From now on, slaves and maids will only be able to eat one bowl of rice a day, please don’t drive slaves away.”

While talking, Mrs. Shen kowtowed to Shi's father and Shi's mother.

Although the ground is muddy, Mrs. Shen did not mix it with any water. After a while, Mrs. Shen's forehead became black and blue.

Shi's mother, who originally complained that Shi's father was not reliable in his work, couldn't help but softened.

Take a step forward to stop Mrs. Shen from kowtowing.

"Okay, it's just eating some food, so you don't need to look like this. However, you have been hungry for too long and overeating rashly, I'm afraid it will be bad for your health. It's best to take your time, don't If you support yourself all of a sudden, the gain outweighs the loss."

Hearing Shimu's soft-spoken words, Mrs. Shen burst into tears.
