The father and daughter went back and told Wu about their plan to buy servants, which was overheard by Liu Sheng and Wang Ermao.
The group of men immediately knelt down, begging Liu Sisi to buy them.
Seeing that the shop's customers were all looking this way, Liu Sisi led them to the back of the shop and spoke to them.
"Liu Sheng, what I want to buy are servants with a death contract, which means that your descendants will also become servants in my family in the future."
“You guys can work as temporary workers at my shop and earn your own money.”
"If you don't want to work for me anymore, you can use the money you've saved to get married and have children. You don't have to be a servant."
“Boss, we understand, but we don’t want to leave. You’ve been so good to us. Where will we find such a good boss if we leave?”
“We’re all orphans anyway, so as long as we can follow the boss and have enough to eat and drink, that’s enough for us. We don’t ask for anything else.” After Liu Sheng finished speaking, the others all nodded in agreement.
"Have you thought it through?" Liu Sisi asked again.
"Yes!" The group nodded firmly again.
Once the decision was made, Liu Dashi led them to the government office to sign the contract, and after they had officially paid the taxes, they completed the formalities.
After returning, Liu Sisi gave all seven of them new names.
Liu Sheng's surname was originally Liu, so he didn't change it. The others were called Liu Da, Liu Er, Liu San, and so on up to Liu Liu. The last one was called Xiao Liu, and they all changed their surname to Liu.
It is an honor to be given a surname by one's master.
"Thank you for bestowing a name upon us, Miss," they all shouted in unison.
Now that they've become master and servant, they've changed their address for their master to "Miss".
Previously, the shop only employed temporary workers and didn't actually need so many people. Liu Sisi kept them all so that they could all earn money.
Now that they are all household servants, they will definitely be used separately. Liu Sisi transferred Liu Sheng, Liu Da, and Liu Er to the new shop in the county town.
We don't know how the new shop is doing yet, so we'll use these few for now, and buy a few more if needed.
She first asked Liu Sheng and the others to tidy up the shop properly, and then went out with Liu Dashi.
"Father, let's go buy some tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks for the new shop," Liu Sisi said to Liu Dashi after getting into the carriage.
"Alright! Daughter, sit tight, we're off." Liu Dashi drove the carriage away.
He's getting more and more energetic, and his life isn't just getting better and better; he's practically enjoying the blessings of several lifetimes.
The father and daughter first went to the place to make the signboard, and asked the craftsmen to make a new signboard. They decided on the name and style, and the name was "Chensi Food Workshop Main Store".
Then I went to a furniture store and ordered a lot of tables and chairs, asking the store to deliver them to my shop.
On the other side, Gu Lingchen finally received Liu Sisi's reply and happily opened the letter.
The first thing you see is a few large characters: "Happy New Year, Mr. Gu!"
"That's it?" Gu Lingchen read the letter carefully from beginning to end. "That's it? That's all?"
"Sheng, did you pick up the wrong one? Why are there only a few words on it?"
"No, Your Highness, how could I have taken the wrong one? This is the only letter that came from Jinshan County," Asheng quickly replied.
After listening, Gu Lingchen sat down in a chair, somewhat disappointed, and muttered to himself, "Didn't this girl have anything else to say to me? Why did she only write such a few words?"
After saying that, he picked up his sword and went to the training ground to practice his swordplay. He wielded the sword fiercely, and his face was frighteningly cold.
Ah Sheng followed behind and looked at the letter with a few crooked words that his master had thrown on the table. He thought to himself, "It must have been written by Miss Sisi. Otherwise, who would write such ugly words?"
"It seems that the master is unhappy again, so Miss Sisi won't write any more."
I have to think of a way to appease my master again. I thought to myself that the Second Prince is usually quite normal, so why does he become so neurotic when it comes to Miss Sisi?
He had a sudden inspiration.
"Got it!!!"
"Your Highness, look how difficult it is for Miss Sisi to write these few words, yet she still insists on writing them for you herself. This shows how much she values you!"
“It’s not that Miss Sisi doesn’t want to write more, it’s just that she can’t write many words yet! It’s clear that she has tried her best for you.” Asheng said to Gu Lingchen, who was practicing sword dancing.
Gu Lingchen, who was practicing his swordplay with great skill, paused upon hearing this, and then sheathed his sword.
He went back to his palace, folded the letter, and put it away.
He gracefully continued reading, as if he hadn't been the angry person just moments before.
Seeing that his master had finally been appeased, Ah Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood silently to the side.
After Liu Sisi and Liu Dashi finished buying all the things they needed for their new shop, Liu Sisi wanted to stroll around the county town to see what was selling the best.
I also need to consider the local situation and come up with some fresh and attractive food to sell in the new shop.
"Dad, you go back first, I'll wander around the county town."
"Okay, then don't stay out too late, go home early," Liu Dashi knew his daughter's abilities and didn't stop her further.
Liu Sisi first went to a restaurant to see how the food in the county was.
As soon as she entered, the waiter saw that although she was a girl, she was dressed quite richly, so he greeted her with a smile.
She ordered two dishes: Kung Pao Chicken and scrambled eggs with scallions, along with a bowl of rice. Since she hadn't eaten lunch, she finished both dishes in no time.
The food was alright, nothing special but not bad either. It's a fairly well-known restaurant in Jinshan County, so the taste was acceptable, but the portions were a bit small.
Having eaten and drunk her fill, she planned to visit other shops and buy some decorations for the new shop.
Liu Dashi just bought all kinds of furniture, tables and chairs, because she wants to decorate her new shop to make it look nice.
Just as she finished buying the decorations and was happily walking down the street carrying them,
A middle-aged man's voice came from behind. Judging from his clothes, the man was quite wealthy.
The man called out, "Daughter, stop right there! I'll never scold you again. I'll treat you well from now on. Come back with me now."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi looked around; there were no other girls nearby. "Daughter? Are you calling me?"
The middle-aged man reached Liu Sisi, grabbed her arm, and dragged her behind him, talking to the onlookers as he went.
“This is my daughter. She insisted on being with a poor boy. I disagreed, so she ran away. Please make way, I’ll take her back and discipline her properly.”
"What the hell? How old am I? Can't you come up with a plausible excuse?" Liu Sisi realized that she must have encountered human traffickers.
