When Zou introduced himself, he kept looking at Song Qiu without any trace.
I saw that although this girl is young, she looks very successful, has a kind appearance, and is easy to get along with. She should be a very good master.
Hearing her asking herself this question, Mr. Zou paused and said, "I also want to ask the girl, what does she do? Why did she buy us back?"
Song Qiu smiled and said: "I have opened a shop in the town, and the shop needs people to work."
Zou understood it as soon as he heard it.
Working in a shop is not like struggling in a deep palace, nor is it like the troubles and troubles of a wealthy family, which is quite good.
For the rest of my life, I think it would be nice to stay in a shop and work.
After thinking for a few moments, Mrs. Zou nodded, took half a step forward, and bowed respectfully, "As if I have met the girl before."
Her real name was Zou Baoya. After entering the palace, her nanny, who taught her the rules, changed her name to Ruyi. She was very kind to her and she also liked the name.
Now that home is no longer her home. After being Ruyi for eleven years, she can still be called Ruyi, and it will be fine from now on.
When Song Qiu saw her like this, he grinned and waved for Zou and Yang to go over to her. Then he looked at Zeng Yapo and said, "I don't want anyone who can read, but I can still do it if I'm younger."
A working girl?"
As soon as Zeng Yapo heard this, she understood that she didn't need personal maids to serve her, but she needed to be able to do things. These girls with excellent rules fell into her eyes.
She quickly went through the remaining young girls in her mind, and then said: "There are two of them. They are from the village below. They were sold by their families. They have never served anyone before. Although I
They were taught the rules, but they weren’t very good after all. They’ve been here for almost two years, and they haven’t been bought yet, but they work hard, so I kept the two of them working in the kitchen to help with the cooking.
Something like that, there is a job in hand, and they can stay safe."
"Just wait, I'll call someone over for you and you can see for yourself."
With that said, he stood up and took the others who were not selected back to the back.
After a while, he came back with two little girls.
One is taller, with a round face, a bit chubby, and two dimples, which looks quite pleasant. The other is thin and looks like a bean sprout. His face is also small, about the size of a palm, but his facial features are straight.
Decorous.
Zeng Yapo sat down and told Song Qiu about the two of them, "This is Xi Mei'er. She is sixteen this year. She was not so lucky when she came. She eats a lot, and her work is no worse than that of men. She can eat and do anything.
I quite liked her, and I wasn't harsh on her. I could eat as much as I wanted. I thought that if no one bought it, it would be good for me to stay in the dental shop.
The other one is called Zhaodi. She is fifteen this year. Look at her. She is so thin and has put on more weight than when she first came here. She is like a cat. She dare not eat more. Maybe she was starved at home in the past.
She is so used to being hungry that she doesn’t even dare to pick up meat when she sees it. She actually runs faster than anyone else when working, for fear that I will dislike her, and she is used to judging her face.”
Song Qiu listened and looked at these two girls. Just from their expressions, they could tell a lot about their personalities.
This younger brother, with such a name, became so thin, and was betrayed by his family. I think life was not easy in the past. It is normal for such a timid person to be timid. As long as he does things honestly, he will be fine.
"What do you think? If you think it works, it will be a blessing for them to have you buy it back." Zeng Yapo said.
One is sixteen and the other is fifteen, so they are of the right age.
Song Qiu thought that having four people in the shop should be enough. When the time came, she would transfer Yang Dalian to help with the business. Yang Dalian was good at boxing and kung fu. With him in the shop, the safety of the women's families could be guaranteed.
.
On the surface, I can ask my eldest brother to help take care of me when the time comes, so I don’t have to worry about anyone causing trouble.
At that moment, Song Qiu nodded and said, "Okay! I want it."
After hearing this, Zeng Yapo was also very happy for the two girls. She hurriedly waved to the two people to give Song Qiu a big gift. She also told them to follow the girl in the future and be obedient and do things honestly so as not to lose Zeng Yapo's face.
Xi Meier and Zhaodi were somewhat attached to Zeng Yapo. When they learned that they were going to be bought away, they were very reluctant to part with her and immediately shed tears.
But I know that Zeng Yapo is dedicated to their good, and if she says this girl is good, then she must be good.
Both of them were obedient and went forward to give Song Qiu a respectful salute. Ximei'er was more talkative and nodded together for Zhaodi: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, we won't embarrass you. We will."
Follow the girl well, serve the girl, listen to the girl, and do things honestly!"
Zeng Yapo was also a little sad because the eyes of the two little girls were red. After all, they had been together for two years.
But she didn't show it on her face and said coldly: "Okay, okay, why are you crying? Why don't you stand next to you girls?"
After saying that, he turned around and told Song Qiu the prices for several people.
Zou sold herself, and she didn't get a penny out of it. She was so familiar with Song Qiu, and she didn't open her mouth very much. She only accepted two taels of silver. Originally, considering that Zou was a palace maid, she could have sold it for seven or eight taels of silver.
.
In addition to the two Ximei children, Zeng Yapo only paid the original price for buying them, three or two each. After raising them for two years, she didn't ask for a penny more.
Including the Yang family, the four of them together have ten taels of silver.
Song Qiu gave the money, obtained the deed of betrayal, and left the Yahang with the four Zou family members.
It was already dinner time, and Zeng Yapo wanted to stay with Song Qiu for dinner before leaving, but Song Qiu refused.
After leaving the dental shop, we found a small restaurant nearby. Six people sat at a table, ordered a few dishes, and had lunch.
Then, Song Qiu led a few people directly to the shop in Ankangfang.
The location of the shop is on the street where you turn left after exiting the market and pass by Wu Ji Grain and Oil Shop.
Shopkeeper Wu happened to be at the door of the shop, saw Song Qiu, and took the initiative to greet Song Qiu with a smile.
Song Qiu smiled back and joked: "Shopkeeper Wu, do you have enough rapeseed oil this time? I'll make some later!"
This is what happened last time when Song Qiu came to buy grain and oil. Song Qiu asked for fifty kilograms of rapeseed oil, but the goods he bought at that time were not delivered, and there were only twenty kilograms of rapeseed oil left in the shop.
In the end, Song Qiudan had no choice but to buy some more soybean oil.
Shopkeeper Wu was teased like this, but he smiled more warmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Song, I will control how much rapeseed oil you want this time! Haha."
"Okay! Shopkeeper Wu is busy now, I'll come back later." Song Qiu said, and the mule cart continued to move forward.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at the two women and two little girls sitting on her mule cart, and saw that she was coming from Pingkangfang again, so he guessed that she had gone to the Zeng Family Dental Shop, and that she had bought another person.
He couldn't help but sigh. In just half a year, he never thought that a little girl whose clothes didn't fit him would achieve what she has now.
Fortunately, he always does business with his heart in mind, does not look down on superiors and inferiors, and treats everyone equally.
Fortunately, he liked the little girl at that time, so he gave her a big discount when doing business, and also gave her generous gifts.
Otherwise, if things like this hadn't happened, why would Song Xiaodong's family come to him now? Even last time when there was not enough rapeseed oil, she directly added soybean oil without even saying to buy it elsewhere.
His is not the only grain and oil shop in town.
It's not just a family across the street.
Shopkeeper Wu thought and glanced across the street. The situation of Li Ji's Grocery Store was getting worse day by day.
I heard it will be transferred soon?
Well, he keeps an eye on the opportunity and will take it when the time comes and expand his business!
