Chapter 135 Buying People 2

   "If this was not introduced by Uncle Liu, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong place." Gu Chengrui shook his head with a smile.

   Zhou Ying gave him an angry look and said, "You know it well?"

   "The image of the TV is too impressive." Gu Chengrui hurriedly raised his hand.

   Hearing what she said, she also remembered those old maids in TV dramas, especially the women in war movies who stood on the street and donated their hands.

   Soon Granny Ma led a group of people in, both men and women, young and old, and even babies.

   It seems that the mother-in-law Ma is still a good person, otherwise she would not have raised a baby.

   Then he thought about the abnormal place, how could there be a baby for sale in the tooth shop, and he asked directly: "Mother Ma, what's the matter with them, why are they still carrying a baby."

   "Forget it, I was pregnant two months ago, but I can't accept it. They are official slaves."

   "Official slave?"

   "Yes, from the south, it is said that there are illicit salt sellers in the clan, but I don't know the specifics."

   Zhou Ying heard what she said, and immediately thought of the Gu family thing, it seems that it should be the same person.

   Now, it’s not bad to come to Gu’s house just to raid the house, but if he is really charged as an official slave, he will never be able to make his mark.

   At the same time, Gu Chengrui also thought of it, and was immediately afraid.

  The official servants of the Ming Dynasty were not servants only for the official family, but people who were even lower than ordinary deceased people. It can be said that they were equivalent to slaves, livestock, and people who died and no one cared.

   The key is that apart from the official amnesty, the slaves will be slaves from generation to generation, and there is no freedom at all.

   Zhou Ying steadied her mind and asked, "Are they all official slaves?"

   "No, there's only three of them left, and nothing else."

   "That's good." Zhou Ying got up and said, then glanced at everyone and said, "Whether male or female, those who know how to cook take the initiative to stand up. The cooking skills I am talking about are not just about cooking, but at least those with unique skills."

   Her words fell, and two women and one man sparsely stood out.

   "No?" Zhou Ying asked again.

   Then another man stood up in the crowd, but he was hesitant, and it could be seen that he was very tangled.

   Zhou Ying pointed directly at him and asked, "What's the matter with you, will it happen?"

   "Yes, I was a cook before, but..."

   "Look at our worthless allegiance, right, first tell me where you were a cook?" Gu Chengrui said here.

   "It was done in a big family in the capital before, and it was sold because it offended people."

   "We want to open a restaurant, do you want to do it or not?"

   "Open a restaurant." The man's eyes lit up immediately.

   He really doesn't want to enter the manor. If he has a harmonious family, he will be fine.

   But he was too bad, and he was afraid of ruining his craftsmanship. It would be best if he could enter the restaurant.

   thought of this and nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to bring my wife and children."

After    finished speaking, a woman and a seven- or eight-year-old boy were pulled out from the crowd.

   "Okay, stand aside first." Zhou Ying glanced at the two of them and nodded after confirming that they were clean and tidy.

   With two men and two women, she didn't want to hire any more cooks, so she stepped forward and picked three neatly dressed young men and said, "Mother Ma, just a few of them."

"You were introduced by Lao Liu, and I won't play tricks with you. The three women are 12 taels each, the five strong laborers are 12 taels each, and the child is counted as 5 taels." Granny Ma said this. Pointing to his fingers, he calculated, "A total of ninety-five taels."
