Buying People

Gulan looked at these people with satisfaction. The tallest among them was estimated to be nearly 1.85 meters tall, and the shortest was not as tall as her. Although there was numbness in their eyes, they were still firm and did not waver. The most important thing was that they were quick to react and their lower body was stable, which showed that their kung fu was really good. If yes, she will definitely ask for both, but she still need to learn more about them before asking.

"Young master has a good eye and has picked out only the best. What do you decide? Will these people stay?" The broker came forward to flatter.

"Yes, that's okay, but I want to know if they are from the same household?" If they are all from the same household, it will be a bit difficult to deal with. They can easily pretend to obey and deceive the owner if they stick together.

Who can be a broker? He are experienced and understand the young master's concerns as soon as he hear it. He said hurriedly: "Don't worry, young master, these criminal slaves are not from the same family. When they rush into the government office, they will all be disrupted. The kind of thing you think will not happen."

Hearing this, Gulan looked at Gao Xing and saw him nod. He knew that the broker had not lied, so she felt relieved.

"Stay." said Gulan.

"Okay," the broker smiled brightly, and then began to sell hard, "Sir, take a look at the others, they are all good, they come from wealthy families and know the rules, you can just bring them over and they can start working."

"Is there anyone who knows how to cook? It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman."

Thinking about the idea of ​​opening a restaurant, if there are really good cooks among these people, I can hire a few more people. Instead of hiring others and worrying about everything, it would be better to use people I have trained myself.

Moreover, Gulan didn't want to be trapped in the restaurant and deal with oil fumes every day. She wanted to make money but didn't want to work herself to death. She had lived for more than half of her life and it was time for her to have some leisure time.

"Yes, yes, yes." The broker's eyes lit up and he quickly pulled out two men and three women from a crowd of people. One of the men was older, around 40, and the other was younger but also around 30. The women were of average age, but all looked to be around 40.

"Sir, they were all cooks before. There should be no problem with their cooking skills." The broker sold his products with all his might.

Being able to be a cook for a wealthy family, his cooking skills must be pretty good. If there is nothing wrong with him, Gulan really wants to keep him. She smiled at the broker as a response and walked up to these people. Their clothes were old but looked clean, especially everyone's hands. Gulan took a special look and found that except for one woman, the spaces between everyone else's fingers were clean even in this environment, which showed that they were used to cleaning. As a chef who deals with food, cleanliness is the first priority, so the woman with dirty hands was directly eliminated and at Gulan's signal, she was pulled back to the team by the broker.

"Tell me what you can do?" Gulan said, looking at the two men and two women with sharp eyes.

"Sir, I am good at frying, deep-frying, roasting and stir-frying." The oldest man was the first to reply, and he also looked the most stable among the few people.

Gulan nodded and looked at the other man, "What about you?"

"My lord, I'm a good cook and I'm also good at making cold dishes." The man was a little timid and didn't dare to look at Gulan. He whispered.

Gulan nodded lightly and then looked at the remaining two women.

Without waiting for Gulan to speak, they hurriedly introduced themselves. One of them is good at making soup, which she said is very good, and the other one is good at making pastries and noodles. Moreover, the woman who is good at making noodles and the oldest man are husband and wife.

In the end, Gulan left behind a couple of cooks and another man. Although the other woman did not seem to have any major problems, she gave Gulan a bad impression. She looked rather cunning, and most importantly, she kept secretly looking at her when she was answering. Although it was very metaphorical, it did not escape Gulan's eyes.

However, a small problem occurred afterwards, which happened due to a couple of cooks who stayed behind. Unexpectedly, their two sons, daughter-in-law and grandchildren were also in the crowd. The couple knelt down and begged her to let their family stay.

To be honest, for servants like this who come with family ties, generally not many can be accepted unless a wealthy family needs a lot of them. Although criminal slaves have no right to choose, most buyers will still consider it. No one wants to break up a family, and generally they will not choose such people. The main reason is that they are afraid that the purchased person will not be dedicated and caring.

It's not that Gulan couldn't consider it, considering the several mountains under her name, the many wastelands and hundreds of acres of fertile fields, all of which need people to cultivate and manage.

...She really can't do it.

She knew very little about farming. She only knew some theory, such as planting seeds and watering them. As for how to take care of the crops, she was not very clear. It was not her forte.

Looking at the couple of cooks kneeling on the ground, Gulan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's meet them first."

Seeing that Gulan did not directly refuse, the cook and his wife were overjoyed.

...As long as the master is willing to see, there is hope.

Upon seeing this, the broker quickly asked two couples in the crowd to come out with their children.

The two couples each brought two boys. Guland took a look at the children and found that they were not much different in age from Daya and Erya. The two couples looked neat and tidy. Although there was uneasiness in their eyes, they looked like honest and decent people. The two children are of suitable age and can stay with AnAn. The yard work can be left to their parents. With the land in the backyard and the hundred acres of fertile farmland, it is impossible to keep idle people. After thinking about it, Gulan nodded to the broker.

A few more people were brought along, and the broker was delighted. He hurriedly reminded the cook and his wife who were kneeling on the ground to thank their new masters quickly. The couple was also overjoyed. After being reminded, they quickly kowtowed to Gulan to express their gratitude, along with their son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. They were truly grateful to the new master for not separating their family.

Looking at the people kneeling down in a flash, God knows how much effort Gulan put in to restrain herself from reaching out her hand.

She knew in her heart that since she had come to this world, she had to learn to adapt to the local customs. Kneeling was a very common thing here. And since she had decided to buy someone, the master had to act like a master. Only with enough deterrent power could her subordinates be obedient. The occurrence of masters being devoured is not uncommon in any period.

Gulan: "Get up, no need to thank me, what I need here is someone who works hard and protects the master wholeheartedly, otherwise I will not be soft-hearted."

Gulan looked at the people who stayed behind coldly and said some words to warn them deliberately, as a wake-up call to them.

Seeing the nervousness on the faces of the chef's family and several martial slaves, Gulan was satisfied.

Then she said to the broker, "They are the ones. Let's calculate the price."

"Okay, then I'll calculate the price for the little one. Sir, you know that the price of an adult male is already high. The normal price is twenty taels. The seven people you selected earlier are popular martial slaves, so the price is higher. Thirty taels per person..."

After saying this, the broker looked at the thin young man in front of him with some trepidation. Although the courtyard was nice and big, it was still far from that of a real wealthy family. To buy so many people at once and cost so much money, to be honest, even though he has seen so many people, he was a little unsure.

Only when he saw the thin young man nodded did the broker feel relieved. He knew that the person who could make the prince speak personally would not be an ordinary person. He must not care about this little money.

"That's good. The two children are too young to do much work, so the younger one will be as an extra. Together with the money from the three women selling their bodies, the total is three hundred and thirty-five taels."
