Su Wan didn't know yet that the name of his house collided with Jiang Yu's.
In the letter from the eldest brother, he only wrote a delivery letter and sent it to No. 28, Furong Lane, Kyoto. He did not mention that it was also called Furong Xiaozhu.
The main reason is that Kyoto is so big and there are so many residential houses. It would be difficult to find them based on their names, so the alleys and house numbers are clearly marked.
The kitchen hadn't been cleaned up yet, and the firewood hadn't been delivered yet, so we couldn't start a meal for the time being. Su Wan simply took the family to a restaurant to discuss buying slaves.
"Now that the residence and workshop have been decided, the top priority is to clean up the workshop. Then I plan to go to the dental shop to buy some people to come back to work. If I hire someone, I'm afraid the recipe will be leaked. It's not safe, so I might as well just do it. When we buy slaves, the deeds of sale are in our hands, and they dare not betray them, so I want to ask everyone's opinion."
Su Wan's worry is not unreasonable. If you ask someone to do something, there is no restriction on the contract, and there is no guarantee that those who are greedy will not do anything for profit.
But having the deed of sale in hand is equivalent to restraining them. They don't dare to make mistakes, and they don't dare to make themselves, or even their descendants, slaves for the sake of profit.
These people who were born into slaves only want to get rid of slavery all their lives. No matter how bad it is, if they meet a better master, they can live a dignified life.
Su Wan will be a good boss and will give them the dignity they deserve.
"You are the boss, you can handle this matter yourself, we have no objection."
Mother Su didn't understand this either, so she couldn't express her opinion.
"Wan Wan, you have thought it through. Indeed, to be on the safe side, it is more practical to hire someone to come back and work."
Su Yi thought this was a good idea. Anyway, their family was not a vicious family, so they would not treat them badly.
"Yes, uncle will help you keep an eye on them while you're away. If anyone dares to reveal anything, I'll be the first to break his legs."
Su Wan said from the beginning that she would leave the affairs of the workshop to her uncle, while she ran around to open up business channels.
She is determined to spread the goat milk soap business all over the country.
"Second brother, third brother, what do you think?"
Su Chen and Su Mu haven't expressed their opinions yet, Su Wan wants to hear their opinions.
"Wan Wan, you can do whatever you want. I don't understand business matters." Su Chen scratched his head and replied sheepishly.
He only does hard work like running errands. If you ask him to settle accounts, he won't be able to do it.
"Now that you have thought it through, go ahead and buy it. But you must be optimistic about your character. Don't buy someone with bad character. I will accompany you to pick it up and check it for you!"
Su Mu feels that the idea of buying slaves to work is right, but you must keep your eyes open when choosing slaves. Some people are born with bad qualities and hide them well. If you are not careful, you will be deceived and if you stay around, there will be endless troubles. .
Su Wan nodded. The second brother is a very sensible person. He makes people reassuring in his behavior and actions.
…
Su Wan has already entered the dental clinic for the third time. He brought his second brother Su Mu to the dental clinic early in the morning.
Only this time, she was here to buy someone, so she had to go to the right.
The person who received them was a middle-aged woman who had put on weight, had a shrewd face, and had a bad tooth. She was called Grandma Yang.
“My lord, if you want to choose a slave, do you want a male slave or a female slave?
Is there any age requirement? Are there any requirements for appearance? Are you doing fine work or rough work? Do you want someone who is good at gardening, or someone who can cook in the kitchen? "
There are also things to pay attention to when selling slaves. Those who do the fine work and serve them closely, and those who look more dignified, will be sold more expensively.
The cheapest is rough work, doing some sweeping, washing and cooking, and there is no requirement for appearance.
Su Wan naturally wanted to choose young people. Young people have good brains, work quickly, and are mainly motivated.
"The younger one, the one who works carefully, has to be strong, has a good temper, there is no requirement for appearance, as long as he has a job in his eyes, and the other one has to have a good mind and not have bad intentions. Two men are required. I want three slaves.”
Nanny Yang wrote down Su Wan's requests one by one, then took Su Wan to the backyard, moved stools for her and her second brother, served tea, and sat under the eaves.
This is like a large staff dormitory, where all the sold slaves are.
Usually when no one buys, they will help Yahang with work. The men are interested in building the house, and the maids are interested in taking care of the house and planting.
When new houses are built in Yahang, the labor force comes from here, so they should not be left idle.
But doing these things is really tiring, so every day they look forward to being bought by a good family and having a stable and leisurely job.
Aunt Yang called dozens of people out, and the men and women lined up in two rows. They were all selected according to Su Wan's requirements. They were good-tempered, neat and young.
The youngest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest is in his early twenties.
Su Wan asked them to introduce themselves one by one. Those who didn't show timidity and those who didn't stutter were all left, and then they selected them carefully.
After a round of screening, there were still twelve left, seven women and five men.
The reason why I wanted to buy two male servants was because I thought they could do some hard work in the workshop.
However, selecting flowers, distilling flower dew, drying flowers, and packaging are all delicate tasks, so a few attentive maids are needed.
For the time being, she will buy five and bring them back. She usually has her uncle and others to help her, and she will also go to the workshop to help. She will need so many people in the early stage, and if there is not enough in the later stage, she will buy a few more.
Su Mu asked the remaining people one by one about their backgrounds, how many people were in their family, where they were from, and where they had worked.
In the end, I picked those with simple family relationships and few brothers and sisters.
If there are fewer things at home, there will be less trouble and it will be simple and error-free.
There are three maids, one named Mang Zhong, one named Guyu, and one named Xiaoman. They are all fifteen years old and have ordinary looks.
However, through the understanding just now, these people are not timid, and they are also smart.
The main reason was that their parents worked in wealthy families. Su Wan thought that they should be smart people because of their words and deeds.
Rich families have many rules, so they should know what they should and should not inquire about.
The two men were brothers, one was sixteen and the other was eighteen. Su Wan saw that they were strong and strong-looking, and at first glance they were not the kind to be scheming.
The elder brother's name is Dashu, and the younger brother's name is Xiaoshu.
Men can't be too clever, as long as they have strength.
Work more and ask less.
Their names are all named according to solar terms, which is quite interesting.
Finally, Su Wan and Su Mu decided that these were the only ones, and they discussed the price with Nanny Yang.
The prices of these are all in the middle range, not expensive, but not cheap either.
Sixty taels each, a total of three hundred taels.
