The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 179

Obtaining Fu Shi's instructions, Luo Baocheng made a special trip to Fucheng, found a familiar colleague, selected four daughters-in-law from his colleagues, and picked eight girls who were about eight years old, and pulled him directly to the place in a car. Great wilderness for them to choose from.

He Tao's requirements for his daughter-in-law are that she is not a native of Nanshan County—the farther away the better, she has experience in raising children, she is healthy, hardworking, clean, obedient, and stable. the second item.

He Tao couldn't help feeling the wonder of the word "fate", but also had to sigh what is called "habit becomes natural". After experiencing the first buyer and the incident of abandoned babies, her heart hardened. Little girl, although she also has the feeling of "these people are so pitiful and I want to treat them well", but she doesn't even have the slightest thought of equating them with Nianzu, Nianzong and Yousi.

The candidates for this time were all trained by human teeth. Luo Baocheng had a good eye for people, and selected these people among the best. He Tao felt that all of them were good, so he decided to keep all these people.

Luo Baocheng smiled until his eyes were narrowed into a line, and he specially reminded He Tao that these people will have to be named again after they are bought.

It took He Tao a lot of brainpower to name these twelve people.

The daughter-in-law who takes care of Dongzhi is called Mei Niang, and the four girls are called Xiaobing, Xiaoshuang, Xiaoxue, and Xiaoyu in order of age. Lan, Xiaolu, and the remaining two daughters-in-law are Zhuniang and Juniang.

He Tao bought not only people from Luo Baocheng, but also specially asked him to help find a residential building drawing of a "big family".Originally, she didn't have much hope. Daqi's family prejudice is very serious. It is impossible for ordinary people to enter the gate of rich and noble families. .

Out of curiosity, He Tao asked him, "Uncle Luo, how did you get this blueprint?"

Luo Baocheng said with a smile: "It's easy to say, we definitely won't be able to enter if there are people living there, but it's easy to talk about an empty house. My friend happened to have a house for sale in his hand, and he has a geomancy in his hand." It’s a picture, so I asked someone to draw a picture of it…”

"What I want to sell is that I have this in my hand?" He Tao became interested as soon as he heard that the real estate was for sale.

"What, are you interested?"

"Have you visited it? How is it actually? Which street is it?"

"I really went to see it. This drawing was drawn when the house was first built. After so many years, there have been many additions and subtractions in it, but generally there is not much difference. I think it looks like it has just been renovated. A few years later, the location is close to the government office, I heard that the yard owned by the previous magistrate, he bought it from a wealthy businessman in Fucheng, and now it is selling for 4000 taels of silver..."

"Oh, I don't dare to take these people's hands." As soon as He Tao heard that he had something to do with officials, businessmen, etc., his interest disappeared.

However, she has always thought about buying a property in Fucheng, because there is the best academy in Shunan Prefecture - Qingyun Academy, just like modern people buy houses in school districts, she also wants to plan ahead and buy a set for her "son" to keep away. Not to mention, Nianzong might be able to use it in a few years.

She said to Luo Baocheng: "Uncle Luo, if it's convenient for you, please tell your friend and ask him to pay attention to see if there is any house for sale near Qingyun Academy. Anyone can come in, and if it's suitable, save a room for me."

He can also get a commission for introducing business, so why not do such a win-win thing, Luo Baocheng happily agreed: "It's a small matter, let me take care of it."

After sending Luo Baocheng away, He Tao acted like a landlady and lectured the 12 people.

"I don't ask you much. The most important thing is to be obedient. As long as you can do this, you can do whatever I ask you to do, and everything else will be easy to talk about. You have all been trained by human teeth, I should know in my heart what I can do with your contract of prostitution. To put it bluntly, your life is mine, and I have the final say on whether to fight or kill. Are you all clear?"

"Your servant understands!" The 12 people replied in unison, their voices trembling obviously.

He Lian, who was standing next to her, also looked at her curiously, wondering why the usually gentle elder sister would say such cruel words so easily.

What kind of job does He Tao feel that managing domestic servants is the same as a company boss managing employees. Although she has never been a boss or even a small boss, but if she puts herself in her shoes, being obedient is always the most important thing. important.

She used to read novels a lot, and the most incomprehensible thing was how an unfavored master would be ruled by a slave.She felt that this kind of situation could only explain one problem, that is, the decision-maker was incompetent, or the decision-maker ordered it on purpose.A master is a master, a slave is a slave, and no matter how capable a slave is, he is still a slave.Just like a good boss, he can reuse a capable employee, but he will not let this employee take over and be his master.

In terms of population, Great Wasteland is really no different from a small company, except that the company is for profit, and she controls a team dedicated to spending money. However, it doesn't matter, the management principles are always the same Well.

Who should do what and what should not be done should be clearly stated in advance, and the punishment for failing to do well or doing what should not be done should also be clearly stated. Things, even if everything is stable.

As for the specific regulations, she still had to think about it.

Anyway, she holds the lives of these people in her hands. With such an innate advantage, if she still can't control these people, she is really incompetent!

At present, the first decision she needs to make is to arrange accommodation for these twelve people.Rooms are limited!

He Lian's house was released to Mei Niang and five people with Dong Zhi, she took Zhu Niang and Ju Niang to live in the kang room in the east room temporarily, Nian Zu moved to live with You Si as the concierge, and his room was reserved for Lan Niang The five of them lived with Dong Ye, and they managed to arrange the twelve people by moving around.

Fortunately, it was summer and not winter, so people could sleep on the mats on the ground, and there was no need to prepare mattresses, otherwise, it would be a trouble.

After settling down, He Tao gathered the family members together again, and let the new servants meet one by one, and at the same time decided on their respective titles. Called Master Si, Fu Shi and her are naturally the master and wife.

"Little sister, the work in your hands, I mean the work in the small courtyard, the laundry and cooking, will be given to Zhu Niang and Ju Niang in the future, and the sewing work will also be handed over to them. From now on, you only need to take care of them. Just one."

He Lian said happily: "Okay, then I will be the manager!"

He Tao smiled and nodded her forehead, "Yes, you are the manager!"

"Frost, snow, rain, red, orange, blue, and green, the eight of you will follow from tomorrow, um, your master goes to the backyard to learn martial arts. You are not only the girls' girls, but also their bodyguards and guards. You study hard and do things well , in the future, I will not treat you badly."

"Yes, ma'am." The eight little girls answered in unison, and a few of the bold ones exchanged glances quietly.

After a rough arrangement, each went to work first, He Lian led her newly-baked servants Zhu Niang and Ju Niang to the kitchen, and Fu Shi led the eight little girls to the backyard.

He Tao asked Mei Niang and Lan Niang to take Dongzhi and Dongye to the amusement house respectively.

Mei Niang and Lan Niang picked up the twins.The twins were a bit suspicious of their birth, and they swayed left and right in their arms and kept struggling, and then kept reaching out to He Tao to call "Mother", He Tao had no choice but to let them put the twins down, and then walked with a girl by the hand Front.

Mei Niang and Lan Niang were worried that He Tao felt that they could not take care of their master well, so they looked worried and followed behind tremblingly.

He Tao talked to them as they walked: "They are now learning to walk. Don't hold them all the time and let them walk more, otherwise they will never learn. Also, learning to walk will inevitably lead to falls. Don’t rush up and hug them sometimes, coax them to stand up first, don’t be too coddled.”

Materially, one can be pampered and rich, but spiritually and character-wise, the same policy cannot be used. As for the latter point, He Tao himself is still unable to do so.Both she and Fu Shi tend to soften their hearts - how many people can harden their hearts when facing their own treasure?She felt that it might be smoother to hand over the child to the servant woman, because the servant woman has no feelings for the twins, so it would be smoother to execute.

Mei Niang and Lan Niang nodded, "Yes."

After entering the playhouse, He Tao prepared the drawing paper and ink for the two girls to create by themselves, while she explained the twins' living habits to the two nurses in charge: "They wake up around the clock every day, and when they wake up, they will definitely You have to get a few sips of goat milk first. You have to get up earlier than them. Go to the kitchen to get the boiled goat milk, let it dry out, put it into this milk bottle when the temperature is about the same, and then put it in this copper pot to keep warm. After they wake up, they will hand it to her. After washing up, let them play in the small yard by themselves. After breakfast, they will be taken to the main room. You don’t need to feed them. They have their own special wooden bowls and wooden spoons... Let them drink warm water every half an hour, and you can’t eat snacks outside of the three meals. If you have to make a fuss, you can give them fruit... After lunch, take them to take a nap after playing for a while, and just take a nap Half an hour...they must play in the water in the afternoon...they must be put to sleep before the hour of the hai hour at night, and they must hug the little rabbit when they sleep, this thing must not be lost, and they must listen to people read, hey, you guys Can you read?"

Both Mei Niang and Lan Niang shook their heads. Both of them grew up in poor families and couldn't even get enough to eat. How could they be literate!

He Tao patted his head and said, "Well, I will teach you to recite an article when they draw in the afternoon. Generally speaking, they will fall asleep after listening to a few hundred words. It doesn’t take too much effort to memorize it by heart.”

"Yes, ma'am."

"You all know how to make clothes, shoes and socks?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"You guys will make the clothes for the two of them in the future. You Miss He will give you fabrics and other things regularly. Dongzhi and Dongye are young, and the clothes don't need to be embroidered or anything, as long as they fit and are comfortable. Soon we will build a new yard, and then you will have to take care of everything in the yard. The eight little girls will be dispatched by you. Of course, they are still useless now. They have to go to the big backyard to learn martial arts every day. In short, the two of you are the personal butlers of the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss, I will assign people and things to you, and I will be the first to call you if something happens, understand?"

The two of them replied respectfully: "Your servant understands."
