Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 458: Choosing Servant 2

I thought to myself, "It seems that this young man must also be an expert."

Xu Han didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the house, and Lu Chuan hurriedly followed.

Shopkeeper Wei was very tactful and did not follow in, which gave the two room to discuss.

Xu Han asked directly, "What do you think of the people I just asked?"

"My wife has a very good eye. Those guys are hard-working and down-to-earth, not like those cunning and treacherous people. In my opinion, they are all acceptable."

Xu Han raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "So you want all of them?"

"Just take them all. There's so much work to do at home anyway. They'll always be useful if you buy them."

"That's easy for you to say. There are so many people here! Where are they going to live? We don't have room for them to live in our house right now."

"That's easy. The mountain is so big, and we can just build houses for them on the open space in the valley opposite.

And this way they won't live in the same yard with us, so they won't bother us when the time comes."

Xu Han thought about it for a moment and decided that it was possible, so she agreed.

But Lu Chuan also continued, "Why not pick a few smarter ones from the group just now? Don't you still need to do business then? You'll always need someone to help you."

"That's fine, I'll pick it all at once and save myself the trouble of coming here next time.

And the newly bought house also needs people, so if you add it up, it’s going to be a lot of people.”

"Well, if we can't find anything good here, we can go to a private dentist later."

"Well, let's go, let's finish choosing and go back early. I've been busy all morning and I'm tired."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she walked out first and said directly, "Among the people I questioned just now, are there any who regret it now? If you regret it, please speak up quickly. If you don't speak up now, you will have no chance in the future."

Those people all shook their heads. Seeing that no one regretted it, Xu Han said to the shopkeeper beside him, "They all want it."

Then he selected two old women and a very clever woman, as well as a young man and two strong laborers.

Of course, these people were selected from those who had just stood up. As for those who retreated, the shopkeeper had already asked them to go back.

At the same time, he also had a look of disappointment towards them, cursing in his heart, "What a bunch of shallow-minded people."

To be honest, these two owners are definitely not bad. Although they were bought back to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, the shopkeeper always feels that this is an excuse. It is fake, absolutely fake!

It's impossible that such a large sum of money spent on buying shops and houses is used for farming!

Although these two people were dressed in ordinary clothes and had no servants around them, their temperaments were different from others and they were obviously rich people.

Moreover, in such a disastrous and chaotic time, how could an ordinary person survive and have so much money?

But the shopkeeper was indeed wrong about this. Xu Han and Lu Chuan were really just ordinary farmers.

After Xu Han made her selection, she turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Let's go with them."

There were 21 people in total, including two brothers, a family of 11, a woman, a teenager, and of course the six people who were chosen at the end.

When the shopkeeper saw Xu Han confirmed, he immediately said to them, "Why don't you go and meet the new owner quickly?"

After hearing this, the others all knelt down in unison. Although Xu Han was not used to this, she did not say anything at the moment. She only said, "Everyone, get up. Work hard in the future, and I will not treat you unfairly."

Logically speaking, Xu Han is the head of this family. In this dynasty, men do not take care of the backyard, which is usually managed by the mistress of the house.

So after confirming these people, Xu Han said this in a bland way, but it sounded different to them, as if the mistress of the house was lecturing them!

Lu Chuan also cooperated very well and listened to Xu Han talking without interrupting her the whole time, giving Xu Han enough face.

After everyone paid their respects to the host, they waited on the side. Xu Han and Lu Chuan followed the shopkeeper and Wei Yaren into the house and began to discuss the price.

Xu Han was the first to speak, "The shopkeeper just said he would give me eight slaves. Does that still count?"

The shopkeeper nodded quickly, "Of course it counts."

"It's fine as long as it counts. Now let's calculate the extra price together."

"It's like this. According to the current market price, a contract of sale is about five to ten taels. Madam has just selected 21 people in total. Minus the 8 people just now, there are 13 people left.

In consideration of the fact that you two have taken such good care of my business, I will give you five taels of silver for everything. Do you think it’s okay?”

Lu Chuan said at the right time, "Don't forget, shopkeeper, there are two children aged three or five, and a 10-year-old child here.

Not only that, there are many women here, and there are also many elderly people. Even if we calculate all of them at five taels of silver, it is still not appropriate! ”

Lu Chuan's tone was not very good when he said this, and one could even hear a hint of impatience in his voice.

The shopkeeper quickly apologized with a smile, "Hahaha, don't we still have room for negotiation?"

Xu Han was not stupid. She was spending her family's money, so naturally she would try to save money in any way she could.

As for the eight people's indentures that the shopkeeper mentioned as a gift, since he did not specify what kind of people they were, Xu Han assumed that they were all the most valuable young and strong men.

As for the remaining elderly, weak, women and children, their prices are naturally not as high as those of young men. In this case, isn’t this price inappropriate?

Xu Han said directly, "How about this? All the houses, shops and the deeds of these people are for a flat price of 7650. Do you think it's okay? If it's okay, we can go and get the red deeds now."

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but then he thought, if he lost such a big customer because of these ten taels of silver, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Besides, I just gave away several hundred taels of silver, so why would I care about these ten taels of silver now?

After the shopkeeper figured it out, he nodded to the two of them and said, "Okay, let's do as you say, Madam Lu. I hope you can take care of our business in the future."

Xu Han smiled and said, "Of course. If I need anything again in the future, I will definitely look for the shopkeeper first."

When the Wei Ya people saw that the deal was done, their faces almost turned into chrysanthemums with a smile, and they thought to themselves, "Such a big deal, the monthly salary must be quite a lot, then the whole family can pool together and buy a store. The current house prices are so cheap, it's a good time to buy one.

When times get better, I can make back the money quickly just by collecting rent.”

Thinking of this, he smiled even more happily. Xu Han, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a little creepy in his heart. This smile was really... hard to describe!
