Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 893
"Me too. I started embroidering dowry years ago. If my grandfather hadn't passed away and had no money to buy a coffin, why would I be so far away from home to see people's faces..."

"..." One person took the lead, and the rest also spoke.Some defended themselves, some murmured and complained, and some echoed repeatedly. For a while, the hall became lively again.

Fang Xiaofu was a little dumbfounded, can an embroidered handkerchief be sold for two cents?Can you embroider two pieces a day?How about showing off with just such a small amount of money?Who dares to give you better embroidery?
"How cheap is an embroidered handkerchief?" She couldn't help but look back at Yuan Sanniang and Lin Dujuan.

"Back to Mrs. Third, if it's not that her workmanship is too poor, she was cheated by the embroidery shop, or she delivered to the second-hand or third-hand receiver, or a shopkeeper." Lin Dujuan replied quickly.

"It's also possible that the quality of the embroidered cloth provided by the recipient is not good, and the price is low." Yuan Sanniang also explained.

Fang Xiaofu nodded, and asked them to get some embroidery cloth and needles and threads, to try the skills of these nine people.

"Stop arguing, you guys. I'll give you a chance to show off your abilities in a while. If you get on the stage, I'll keep you. If you still can't satisfy me, you don't need to say anything. Go find someone else."

Fang Xiaofu raised his hand and clapped his palms violently, stopped the chattering voices below, and expressed his opinion.

Looking at these girls who still don't know what the rules are, she really can't tell if she hates them or is used to them.

She seemed to see those little girls who were blocking the door of her courtyard and asked to do handbag work. Although they were all anxious and easy to be instigated by others, it cannot be said that they were all bad.

As for the nine people here, although they were unwilling to be expelled and went against their masters, it cannot be said how bad they are. They just think that they are fighting for their own interests, and their starting point cannot be said to be wrong.

Of course, in this era, those who do not follow the rules will definitely suffer.If she can't keep them today, there might not be a better fate waiting for them after they return to Guanya.

Considering their age, and the consequences of their actions just now annoyed the officials, Fang Xiaofu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In this era, there are many kinds of official tooth management projects. In addition to direct sales, there are also transaction methods such as employment and leasing.

For example, Yuan Sanniang and Lin Dujuan are hired, and there is no direct exchange of contracts. Instead, they sign a contract after negotiating a cooperation. After that, in addition to the owner's commission, they also have to pay a certain commission to Guanya.

If there is no deal, they will only exist on the list of officials as resources, which will not affect their lives. Once there is a deal, the officials will notify them immediately.

But before the transaction, there is naturally no wages. If money is needed urgently, they can only choose the way of buying and selling to get cash from Guan Ya.This kind of business is divided into living contract and dead contract.

The contract of living will discuss the time limit and value and talk about different prices. After the time is up, as long as you pay a little more handling fee to the government to cancel your contract of sale, you can restore your freedom.

Of course, if the time limit is up or if there is a dispute with the master's family within the time limit, Guan Ya is also responsible for assisting the Yamen to file a case for trial, or to help him regain his freedom.

Of course, although these are the duties that Guanya should perform, a thank you to Guanya is definitely necessary.People who offend the officials are not good for you, both common people and rich people know this truth.

And the 67 people who came to interview today can all exchange their physical contracts directly, and the physical contracts received from Guan Ya are all already contracted, so there is no need to make another trip and spend extra money to transfer the documents.

It is with the guarantee of these authorities that official teeth can still stand firm in the era of rampant private teeth, but they mainly exist in county towns, and in farther places, especially in rural areas, private teeth are still the majority.

There are also many private teeth under the official teeth to consolidate and expand their territory.It is this kind of monopoly operation, from buying back the population from the hands of the people to selling it to the main family, there have been layers of account sharing between them.

Taking today's living deed of 20 taels and dead deed of 50 taels as an example, it is not bad that the sold family can get three tiers of cash.

Because of this, ordinary people would not sell their daughters under the age of ten unless they were really unable to survive, because daughters under the age of ten were not worth much at all.

Those who can be worth one or two taels are not bad, but in poor mountain villages, it may not be enough to buy and sell.But the more you go to the town, the more expensive it is, and the best age is ten to fifteen.

This is the best age for girls in this era, and it is also the best age to be trained. Whether it is to be a maid, enter a brothel, or fill in a house for someone, it is the most suitable age.

Therefore, the selling price is the highest at this age.

Li Quan did not tell Mrs. Third that what she thought was the least demanding was actually the highest.He also wanted to get to the bottom of the master's family through this time.

After receiving the embroidery materials, the nine girls immediately sat down on the chairs under Fang Xiaofu's arrangement, and started embroidering flowers earnestly without thinking about what to say.

The soft embroidered cloth made their hearts flutter, and the beautiful embroidery thread made them almost dazzled.Such joy cannot be ignored by those who have embroidered countless pieces of cloth in the past.

Even if there is only this chance, they want to show all the strength they have.

Time passed by, because the materials and requirements provided by Fang Xiaofu were not something that could be satisfied with a handkerchief worth two cents, so everyone could only wait.

Seeing that the girls who were noisy just now can work quietly and seriously, Fang Xiaofu is already satisfied in his heart. As for what they can embroider, it doesn't really matter, as long as they have a basic foundation.

She looked at the sky and whispered a few words to Ziya, Ziya got up and went to the official side to wink at the official, then glanced at Li Quan, and walked out the door first.

The officials at Guanya understood, and they walked out with a look of joy on their faces. Ziya finally told Fang Xiaofu's decision when they reached the side room.

"Although these girls are not well-behaved, they are still serious when they embroider. My Fang family doesn't want to embarrass anyone too much, so let's buy them together."

"The master is a kind person!"

"My master is refreshing, our official teeth are also easy to handle."

Guanya Guanshi did not expect that the last nine people would also be found. He was thinking of going back and selling them to the drunken red building so that they could learn a lesson.

But the transaction went well, and they lost all anger in their hearts. They laughed and praised the Fang family's generosity, and one of them took the deed paper, and the other took the abacus and started to settle the accounts.

Ziya smiled, said a few polite words on the scene, and asked Li Quan to exchange the money for the deed paper.

Li Quan murmured to himself while taking the bank note. The 5000 taels sent by the Wenfu were quite useful these days, but now he has to pay more than 600 taels at a time. Can he make a counter-offer?
