In view of the changes in his future plans, Gong Jian chose the small shop with a backyard. After all, his focus in the future must have shifted from doing business to studying.
In his plan, the hot pot business, although due to limited conditions, the hot pot food will definitely be affected in the summer. But because it is a new thing, everyone will be more curious, so this year's income
, it must be quite considerable.
Then there should be no problem in ensuring your family's life.
Although Gong Jian has not yet decided what to sell for that shop, he plans to buy the servants of the family later. Of course, this was also introduced to him by the middleman who sold his house.
In addition to being an intermediary for buying and selling houses, that person also does some business of buying and selling servants.
After listening to his eloquent introduction for a long time, Gong Jian agreed with him. According to that person's original words, it was very safe and convenient for the buyer's servant to come back.
"Brother, look at this. The men can let them take care of the shop, while the women can take care of your family's life in the back. And as long as they sell their lives, in the hands of the master's family, these servants will work wholeheartedly.
There will be no double-mindedness."
For some reason, Gong Jian felt a little disgusted when he heard the man talking about the contract to sell his body. But he also knew that although there were no people selling themselves into slavery in Chenjia Village, in the town, wealthy families had many servants.
of.
And those people, whether it is a dead contract or a living contract, will sign the sale contract from the moment they sell themselves. For these people, the sale contract is the best restriction for them.
Although Gong Jian was a little disgusted by the word "contract", he thought about it. If those people came to work as servants in his house, it would actually be a very easy thing. None of his family members are cruel and cold-blooded, and regard human life as a priority.
A careless person.
On the contrary, their own family members were willing to be kind to others, so the people they bought did not have to worry about being mistreated. On the contrary, Gong Jian was a little worried that his family members would be bullied by evil servants because they were not used to using slaves.
He mentioned it to the person in the house, hoping that he would pay attention to it. He wanted to choose a family that was more peaceful and honest. It didn't matter whether the family was old or young.
Gong Jian thought more long-term. Since he felt that he wanted to take the examination for merit and fame, and his second brother was often away from home while studying, then the only people who would be at home regularly were Gong Jian's parents and younger sister.
He was very worried about the daily life of those three people. So buying a family, even if it was just for companionship, would make him feel a lot more at ease.
When the agent heard what he said, he was so happy. The young man's request was too simple. You know, it is difficult to sell a family with an old man and a young man.
But this young man didn't care. He only asked those whose character should pass the test. Instead, he said he didn't care about buying servants. This would be the case.
This young man is also generous in his approach. His request is a good opportunity for him to deal with some stagnant goods. After all, others find this kind of house troublesome, and most owners are not willing to buy it.
The middle man suppressed his excitement and quickly agreed to Gong Jian's request. The middle man even enthusiastically accompanied Gong Jian to the county government office and completed all the procedures for the house. He also made an agreement with Gong Jian.
Okay, after their family moves to the county, they will bring him servants that meet his requirements.
After Gong Jian arranged things in the county, he didn't want to delay any longer. But it was already ten o'clock in the evening when they came out of the county office. If it wasn't too late and he couldn't rush home all night, Gong Jian would definitely hire someone
Car ride home.
Because that kind of person also had a business related to Gong Jian, he was very enthusiastic and introduced to Gong Jian that there was a night market in the county that night. If Gong Jian had nothing else to do, he could go shopping.
This was a good opportunity for everyone to prepare New Year's goods before the end of the year. Gong Jian did not expect that he would catch it by chance. He had nothing else to do now, so Gong Jian decided to go shopping in the county at night.
night market.
The night market is located on the main central street in the county. Although it is called a night market, it actually means that vendors are allowed to set up stalls on the central street for two hours at night.
It was Gong Jian's first time to visit this kind of night market. Both sides of the street were already occupied by small vendors. Most of them were selling food and gadgets.
In the past few days in the county, Gong Jian had almost bought all the New Year's goods. So he walked around with a wandering mentality. Gong Jian was not interested in the food sellers on this street.
No. He actually stopped in front of a small vendor selling beads and flower jewelry.
Thinking of his little sister at home, Gong Jian planned to buy her two fresh beaded flowers. I think girls like these things.
After buying the pearl flowers, Gong Jian felt a little confused. He had already prepared the New Year's goods at home, and at this time he really didn't know what else he needed to buy back. He looked at the bustling crowd next to him, but he felt that he had something to say.
An inexplicable feeling of alienation.
It was as if he was the only deserted and lonely person in this lively crowd. He was incompatible with the world around him.
Just when Gong Jian was still immersed in this strange feeling, suddenly, he seemed to be pulled by something, and turned around numbly. His legs seemed to be out of control, and he walked in one direction on his own.
past.
Gong Jian walked numbly through the bustling street, and soon turned into a quiet alley. But he himself seemed to be still in a dream.
Whenever someone walked by, they would look at him curiously. This young man, who looked a little lost, didn't know what kind of blow he had encountered, but he kept walking forward with straight eyes.
Most people were just curious and took a look or two. After all, this young man was just walking around blankly and didn't do anything more outrageous.
But when several young people walked by Gong Jian, one of them noticed something unusual about Gong Jian. He stopped and wanted to check, but was stopped by his companion. "We have to go to the night market.
,What are you doing stopping here?”
The scholar-like young man was a little worried. He pointed at Gong Jian's back and said to his companion: "Did you see that person just now? He is a little strange."
His companion glanced at Gong Jian in confusion. "What's weird? Isn't he walking well?" (To be continued)
