Prosperous Pastoral: Sweet Pet Peasant Wife

Chapter 206
Well, this Mrs. Liu is really making the best use of her.In this regard, human resources are also utilized to the fullest extent.

When Mrs. Liu heard the knock on the door, she also put down the bowl.Welcoming them out of the door, they saw that it was the Wan family's mother and daughter. Her fat eyes were narrowed into a line.

"Hey, it's shopkeeper Wan's. I mean, it's early in the morning. Where did the wind blow our house so brightly? Co-author, it's Sister Wan, you want to come." To be small.It's just that among peers, it's a sign of respect to call others "sister and brother".

At this time, Mrs. Liu called Wan's family like this to show the other party's face.

Wan's also hurriedly politely said, "How dare you be the elder sister of shopkeeper Liu, I just heard that you have a good character and good conduct. So I brought my daughter to pick out a few servants. Our family still lives for ten days. In the countryside, the people who are usually selected are probably those who can work."

After listening to Wan's request, Mrs. Liu looked at Han Chuxia with a smile on her eyes.

"That's right, as my mother said, as long as you can do the work, our family is no better than Li's house and everyone in the city. Finding someone is also in the middle class. Are we now, haha... just need Know how to work, people are not stupid, just look okay."

This time, Mrs. Liu understood.

She turned around and led several people into the backyard.

"Hey, my people are still here. The weather in the north is not very good recently, and many people can't survive. So there are not too few people here. Take a look, if you find something suitable, you can pick away."

Han Chuxia took a look, ah, my dear.The people in this backyard are really crowded.

Roughly counting, there are no less than a hundred people.It seems that they are still family-friendly people.

Others got together in threes and twos and were chatting with each other.Seeing a boss coming, these people looked eagerly.Some lowered their heads, looking shy and embarrassed.

But if you think about it, who is willing to be a slave of human beings?However, Han Chuxia had her own calculations in her mind.

She and Mrs. Liu, who was still accompanying her, seemed to have no intention of revealing their favorable conditions.

"My family is actually looking for some permanent long-term workers in disguise. Those who don't sign that kind of slave contract only need the big guys to do their jobs well and be practical. I will pay them every year. If they do well Yes, there are other rewards. Of course, after a long time, everyone gets along better, and the benefits in the future are needless to say."

"You said... don't sign a contract? Is this still buying a slave?" Mrs. Liu was a little puzzled, she really didn't understand what this young mistress did.

Han Chuxia smiled slightly. "Humans, it's not like a document for a contract slave will be held by someone else, and each other must have their own hearts, isn't it?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at Wan's admiringly, "Sister Wan, your daughter is using reasoning to persuade people. Yes, she looks quite good."

"Hehe, this method is only suitable for my current promotion stage. As for the specifics, the facts must be done according to the individual's family. Auntie, just don't misunderstand."

"Where can I misunderstand, you girl is thoughtful, what am I misunderstanding?"

Although the two said such things, they did not hide it from the people present.

Many of the people at the scene were not fools, and they were all listening with pointed ears.When they heard that they didn't want to accept the family as slaves, everyone was excited.When walking to the side, an old man suddenly knelt in front of Han Chuxia.

"Grandma, I, our family is willing to work with you. Don't worry, I will do well."

When Mrs. Liu saw the old man, she was taken aback for a moment.Immediately followed Han Chuxia and nodded. "Speaking of it, your conditions are the most suitable for this family. Because this family is the one who is the least willing to sign a slave contract, the reason why I take them in is also because of them... little elf girl, brother He is gentle and refined, and can read and write. If it hadn’t been for the disaster and the lack of care from relatives, how could this family come to me.”

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Liu felt sorry for the family.

"Oh, listening to what Grandma said, you kind of sympathize with this family."

"It's hard not to sympathize. For scholars, my wife, I have always respected them very much. Unfortunately, this child's life is not very good."

"It turned out to be like this. Can you call this family to me to have a look?"

Han Chuxia hurried forward to help the old man up.

This man was dying, and when he was helped up, the old man's body was still shaking.It was obvious that the man was hurt.

"Old man, let me see how your family is doing first!"

"Ah, good."

After a while, the family got together.After the old and the young got together in this family, Han Chuxia understood a little bit why this family couldn't be sold until now.

Because, just the old ones, there are three of them.

This family is not only the old couple who kowtowed just now, but also an old man who is 80 or [-] years old and whose eyesight is not very good.

In addition, there are five and a half children.

The scholar's family seemed to have just gotten married.The little daughter-in-law was holding a baby in her arms, and she was timidly and silently looking at Han Chuxia, her face flushed with embarrassment.It seems that the person is very delicate, but... the one who is looking for with a baby is looking for the owner, or someone else.Han Chuxia looked at the half-grown children with genuine anxiety, and looked at her group of people while sucking on her milk.The little baby is close to one year old.

However, this also needs to be brought.

The scholar also looks very thin.

However, such a thin person, who can't lift his shoulders or carry him on his back, doesn't seem to have much use for such a person except for eating.It turned out that the girl who opened the door earlier was also inside.At this moment, the little girl looked at her eagerly.

"Grandma, I can work. I can work better than many men."

From the looks of it, this is a second girl.

Han Chuxia smiled at her, and then turned his eyes to the youngest who was not far away.This child is not much older than Xiao Liu, probably only about ten years old.

The other three, the whole thing is just a little bit.

How can a family like this work?Ugh.

"Young Mistress, I can knit and embroider, as long as you give me work, I can do anything."

The little girl was still chattering and asking for credit.

Han Chuxia didn't feel impatient, but looked at her with a smile, "What's your name, little girl?"

"My name is Zeng Zhen. You can call me Xiao Zhener. My brother may have done his studies. If he hadn't been hit by a disaster this time, he would have been able to go to the exam to become a scholar. It's a pity that he didn't make it. However, my sister-in-law is too. What a nice person, she can read silkworm weaving and the like."

Han Chuxia laughed when he heard it.

"Grandma, what is the plan of this family?"

When Grandma was asked, she was embarrassed again.

"They are not slaves, they say they want to eat. But there are also requirements, that is, they hope that they can be used by that scholar for the exam at the right time."

This time, Han Chuxia completely understood.

Provide a scholar, and then have to deal with the next exam and the like.This is a costly job.

"Madam, it's not that I don't want to be a slave, but if I become a slave, it is said that I can no longer take the imperial examination. My child is a rare scholar in a hundred years. If I don't study, I am ashamed of my ancestors. "

"People in the country have always attached great importance to the words of their ancestors. This old man's family is also full of demons." Hearing this, Wan Shi understood a little bit.

"Okay, I get it, I want this family. Grandma, your hard work expenses, as well as the accommodation expenses, I will pick two candidates for rough work in a while, and then I will settle it with you, okay?"

That Mrs. Liu didn't expect that this would really happen, so she quickly responded, "Okay, there's no problem. You guys, go to the side and wait, so you can go live with your relatives in a while."

Wan's eyes rolled, trying to persuade, but finally held back.

The big girl acts according to her own plan.

Seeing that she was not the one who spent money recklessly, thinking about it this way, she obediently stood here and only watched how Han Chuxia would choose people.

There are still many people who have not come and who have been trained.According to Mrs. Liu, this group of people is just a group of refugees she took in in Nanshi.As long as they are given a bite to eat, if there is a host who is willing to pick someone, and then give some money at will, and settle the meal payment and the like, she will just take them away.

Han Chuxia didn't expect to be so worry-free and money-saving when she came out to pick someone this time.After all, it's just some food money, it's really not expensive.

Of course, Mrs. Liu's so-called food money, if she is sensible, she won't just give others some food money.

In fact, the meal money actually needs to be given more.But no matter what, the money is much cheaper than serious buyers.

This time I picked it for work.But Han Chuxia didn't want to just pick on those people who looked big and round.

She picked someone for work.Second, it is better to be able to penetrate a little bit.

After all, if you just have strength, he can't understand it for a long time, and such a talent is also... suffocating.

They came to a pair of two people who looked like brothers.

Han Chuxia looked at the man who was wearing only a belt and tattered trousers.

"Apart from farming at home, are you interested in other things?"

"Mrs. Hui, I used to watch people in the village doing carpentry work, and I was interested. However, they don't want to accept apprentices, so I can only watch." The slightly thinner one replied in a murmur, and Han Chuxia nodded. , and did not say anything else.Looking at the slightly taller person, "What about you, have you ever thought about learning anything?"

The tall man scratched his head, "I also thought about learning to be a mason earlier, but I don't know how to learn it very well. I am a good hand at work, and I don't eat much."

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

Han Chuxia also laughed. Looking at this man, it was obvious that he could eat, but judging by his muscles, he could also work.This time, Han Chuxia was a little torn, should he choose this person, or not.Obviously, this person is only suitable for rough work, if he is asked to do rough work...
