I really admire this woman in my heart.
This kind of physical strength is too much for a man, let alone a woman.
This Madam Shen is really not a mortal.
Shen Shuangshuang didn't know this and drove the donkey cart happily home.
She received a total of more than twenty-eight taels of silver for this batch of goods.
With this money back, the frames, shelves, jars, boxes, etc. she has purchased for the workshop these days, after deducting the wages paid last month, will be considered a return on investment.
Well, just in this situation, the existing frames and boxes at home may not be enough.
Well, I need to stock up on more cans...
Wow, all the money she earned was spent on purchasing equipment...
That’s it, invest once and use it for life. Just spend it!
So, after Shen Shuangshuang returned home, he went to the carpenter's workshop and the porcelain shop.
noon.
On the Shen family dining table.
"How about we invite two people to our home?" Shen said suddenly.
Shen Shuangshuang looked at her mother-in-law in surprise.
"Master Yin still needs two thousand kilograms of fermented bean curd. You have so many things to do all day long, how can you find so much time to make fermented bean curd?"
"Besides, chili pepper and Sichuan pepper powder are needed to make bean curd. The ones I collected at home are almost used up, and I have to find time to make a new batch."
"It's just the two of us at home, I'm afraid we'll be too busy."
"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang responded.
"I wanted to hire people before. But this time I don't want to hire full-time workers."
Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
"Mom, I want to buy two servants back. This way they can not only take care of you and Ling'er, but also help with some work at home."
She is now running around every day. When she comes home, she not only has to make bean curd and the like, but also cooks and washes the dishes, giving her almost no rest.
Her mother-in-law's situation wasn't much better than hers.
If you can buy someone back, you can at least get rid of the housework.
Shen was a little surprised.
"If you buy someone, the price is not cheap." He said.
Saying this means that there is no objection.
"I've asked, mother-in-law Shi Liang, if a teenage girl who can do things is not picky about her appearance, it should be within fifteen Liang." Shen Shuangshuang said immediately.
She plans to buy two people.
The mother-in-law does housework, and the girl helps her mother-in-law with household chores.
Shen's eyes were hesitant, but she still felt that hiring a permanent employee was a good deal.
"Just buy a mother-in-law and leave her the housework at home. Then, hire an extra long-term worker to come to our house to help." He said.
"Buying a person is not a small matter. When you buy someone back, we have to take care of their food and housing. Moreover, even if you buy someone back, you have to give them some monthly money."
Shen Shuangshuang smiled and nodded.
"Sure! Then buy a wife first." He said.
"I'll go to the dental shop this afternoon and ask them to keep an eye on it for us."
Only then did Shen respond.
After the meal, Shen Shuangshuang packed up and went out.
More than a quarter of an hour later, we arrived at the largest tooth shop in the west district of Shangyang Town.
In fact, they have a dental shop near Deep Water Lane, but there are very few slaves in the small dental shop.
She then ran further away and came to Dayaxing to choose someone.
As soon as Shen Shuangshuang entered the tooth shop, someone from the tooth shop came to greet her.
Knowing that she was here to buy someone, Yaren was very enthusiastic.
"What kind of people do you need, Madam? We just have a group of people here, men, women, old and young. They can be bought back to work as hard labor or as servants."
"Just choose a mother-in-law to go back to do housework. You can show me first." Shen Shuangshuang said.
"Okay! Madam, please come this way!" Yaren invited Shen Shuangshuang to the backyard.
On the way, I asked about Shen Shuangshuang's situation and needs.
"Wait a minute, ma'am, I'm going to call someone." When they arrived at the backyard, Yaren said quickly.
"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang responded.
Not long after, Yaren came over with two women.
The clothes on both of them were a little torn, but they were kept clean.
It should be to leave a good impression on the future owner.
"Haven't you met my wife yet?!" Yaren said to the two wives.
The two women quickly saluted Shen Shuangshuang.
"I've seen the lady!" The posture was very standard. Shen Shuangshuang guessed that there should be training at Yahang.
Shen Shuangshuang glanced at the two women, and then looked at Yaren.
"Let's talk about their situation." He said.
A smile appeared on Yaren's face.
"yes."
"The surname of the one on the left is Zheng. He is forty-two years old and is from Xichuan County. He sold himself out six months ago and joined our dental shop in Xichuan County. Because we couldn't find a suitable owner in the local area, we came here all the way. Yangzhen.”
When Zheng was called, her head was lowered, looking nervous.
"The surname of the one on the right is Qian. She is forty-five years old and is from Yong County. She was resold to the dental shop by her previous owner. Because she was from Shangyang Town before, she applied to be transferred to our dental shop."
"Ma'am, you are polite!" Mrs. Qian bowed to Shen and Shen after hearing Yaren introduce herself.
"The old slave used to serve in the master's house. Although he only did the work of the kitchen, his cooking was very popular with the masters of the house. Occasionally, he could walk around in the front yard and listen to the lectures of the old lady and the ladies. I don't know what my wife's home is. How many people are there?”
Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Qian.
"There are only three people. I don't have any other servants in my family. I just want to find a wife to go back and do the housework at home." He said.
As soon as these words came out, Qian's face showed disappointment.
Zheng on the side also looked a little disappointed.
Shen Shuangshuang felt a little helpless and was prepared not to be able to choose anyone today.
When buying someone, you have to be willing to do it, right?
Seeing that Qian didn't look at him and Zheng lowered her head, Shen Shuangshuang sighed and stood up.
Seeing this, Yaren quickly asked Shen Shuangshuang to wait.
Then he walked to Zheng's side.
"What are you doing? If you go with this lady now, you and your family can at least stay in Shangyang Town. If you don't leave, the shopkeeper will sell you in three places tomorrow. By then, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life. But don’t even think about seeing me again!”
Yaren's voice was very low, but Shen Shuangshuang could hear it clearly even though he had special powers.
He thought to himself, it turns out that Zheng is not alone.
As soon as Yaren finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng became nervous.
"Mother—Mother, stay here!" she shouted anxiously to Shen Shuangshuang.
Shen Shuangshuang turned back.
Then she saw Mrs. Zheng kneeling down towards her.
"Madam, please do me a favor and buy all three of us."
"I - my husband can read and do arithmetic. I - my daughter is very hard-working and can do any job!" After saying that, Ms. Zheng kowtowed to Shen.
Shen Shuangshuang looked at Yaren.
Yaren smiled sheepishly.
Tell the situation.
It turns out that Zheng's family members are also in the dental industry, and they sold themselves out together with her.
It was because they were unwilling to separate and had never met anyone willing to buy their family of three at once that they stayed in Yahang for more than half a year.
But staying in Yahang is not a long-term solution. Not only does Yahang not only have good food and clothing, but also arranges a lot of work for them.
Of course, if Yahang is willing to continue to take him in, the Zheng family will not be willing to leave. (End of chapter)
