"Don't just laugh, I have something else to inform you."
Li Zheng's expression was serious.
"What's going on, Uncle Lizheng? It's scary to be so serious!" Gui Hua Niang joked.
"Ahem!" Li Zheng cleared his throat.
"Well, Xiao Changhe's family has a big tiger with a white forehead and eye-catching eyes. Everyone should be careful when entering his house in the future.
Especially for those who have evil intentions and want to climb the wall in the middle of the night, think about whether they can defeat the tiger. "
Li Zheng finished speaking in one breath, and the crowd became excited.
What?
Xiao Changhe’s family raises tigers?
The tiger is the king of beasts, how can he be manipulated by others?
I passed by his house yesterday and didn't notice it at all!
Seeing that everyone was a little uneasy, Li Zheng said again:
"You are just worried about each other. I have kept this tiger for several months. If it had not obeyed, it would have come out to bite people long ago.
Isn't this always good? I just want to remind you, don’t have any evil thoughts just because the Xiao family is rich. "
"Uncle Li Zheng, let's see what you said, what kind of evil thoughts can our fellow villagers have?"
"There is no best!" Li Zheng said: "Today I have formally greeted you. If anyone crawls into the Xiao family in the middle of the night and is killed by a tiger, the Xiao family will not be blamed."
"How scary! Who dares?"
"He is the first person in Qinghe County to raise a tiger at home!"
"His tigers actually don't eat people. It doesn't matter if they don't eat people. They raise so many rabbits and they haven't heard of tigers harming rabbits. Isn't this tiger a grass-eater?"
…
Everyone discussed in low voices.
Most of them are more curious than afraid.
In the crowd, a short man clenched his fist and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Xiao family.
Mrs. Lin hired an ox cart to enter the city in the afternoon.
She had been riding in a horse-drawn carriage all her life and had no idea what it was like to ride in an ox-cart.
When I sat down for the first time, I didn’t expect it to be quite stable except for the slight irritation in my butt.
Accompanied by Xiao Song and two girls, she went to Moon Bridge in the west end of the county.
Here, all the prostitutes looking for work gathered together, and slowly it became a certain scale.
According to the old lady, when it comes to buying someone, you either have to do it early or you do it late!
Hurry early and you can buy some good-looking ones.
Whether it's a maid or a servant, if the master likes something beautiful, he will rush there early to pick it out.
If you rush late, you can meet some with good physical strength.
It's been a tiring day, but if you still have energy at this point, it's probably because you're in good health and there's nothing wrong with you.
The Xiao family has a lot of work, and Ye Luoxin's basic requirement is to be diligent and capable.
So she specially found this time to come out.
The old woman had a calm temperament, and she seemed to come from a wealthy family. As soon as she appeared, she was surrounded by those people.
"What are you looking for, madam? There are several people here. Madam, would you like to come over and take a look?"
"Ma'am, are you looking for a maid? Look at these two girls at my house. They are so pretty!"
Seeing the old lady shaking her head, another person quickly said: "Madam, are you looking for a capable servant?
Although the person in my hand is a bit older, he is smart and capable. It is most suitable to buy it back and have a look at the front door. "
Mrs. Lin looked in the direction of his finger and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties sitting on the ground with a blank expression and dull eyes.
I don’t know if it’s because of taking medicine or if it’s just like this.
The old lady thought to herself: This man is so thick-skinned that he dares to lie about things that can be revealed at a glance.
If such a person takes it back to look at the gate, whether the things can be guarded or whether the gate can be lost is a question.
She continued walking forward and saw two young men in ragged clothes squatting there under the eaves of a house, sharing a steamed bun.
The buns are a bit dark in color. But both of them ate with gusto.
Just by looking at their smiles, you can't tell that they have reached the end of their rope and need to sell themselves.
The old woman walked over and asked the two men, "I see you have straw marks on your heads, but you want to sell your body!"
One of them raised his face and looked at the old lady: "We don't sell ourselves, we only do long-term labor for others. After making money, we have to go home and marry a wife!"
"How much?" the old lady asked.
The man stretched out a hand, clenched it into a fist, and said, "Ten taels of silver!"
Seeing that the old lady didn't speak, he thought that the old lady had misunderstood, and quickly said: "Ten taels of silver per person."
The old lady said: "Your price is not low! If you dare to ask for such a high price, there must be something special about it.
You should tell me whether you are worth these ten taels of silver! "
The young man ate half of the steamed bun in his hand, wiped his hand on his clothes, and then stretched it out to the old lady:
"Look at my hands. They look like they are good at farming.
Let me tell you this, there is nothing our brothers can’t do in the fields. Others can produce two to three hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes from one acre of land, but the sweet potatoes grown by me will cost at least four to five hundred kilograms! "
The old lady didn't believe it: "If it is really as powerful as you said, then there must be many people rushing to get it. How come you are here?"
The young man scratched his head: "I was originally a long-term worker, but there was a severe drought over there, and the employer's family went out of business. You said it won't rain today, who can take care of it, but the employer blamed me for this." On the head.
I ran away from his house in anger, and no one else in the village dared to use me.
There is no other way, I can't afford this food, so I have no choice but to go out to make a living.
But don’t worry, I’m definitely a top performer at work! "
"What about the person next to you?" the old lady asked again.
"Is he as capable as you?"
The young man responded quickly: "You know it, he can do it better than me! Except he doesn't know how to talk, he can do everything else."
The old lady was quite satisfied with the two young men.
Young and in good shape. He looks smart and has experience in farming.
"My family doesn't have much land, but I need you to do spring planting and autumn harvesting. You can do whatever work comes up at home.
As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely not miss a bite! How about it? Do you want to come? "
This was the first time for Chen Er to see such a happy employer.
"Okay, why not!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the man next to him: "Brother, do you think it's okay?"
The man also nodded!
