The fourth prince’s in-laws?
Shen Yuan asked, "Is it the Cheng family?"
Fei Xi said: "Yes, it is the Cheng family. The master told you about this, right?"
Shen Yu'an did not explain. Fei Yanche had never told her these things. She knew all this based on her memories before coming here.
However, Shen Yu'an was still somewhat confused about Fei Xi's statement that Fei Yanche had no money.
Fei Yanche is naturally not the kind of person who has money but cannot even feed his soldiers well.
So there is only one possibility, that is, there is really not enough money.
However, the original book said that after Fei Yanche escaped the pursuit of the court and recovered from his injuries, he secretly took over many profitable businesses.
Although his fate is different in this life, this person's thoughts should not change much.
Fei Yanche should have many other ways to make money besides the bookstore she knew.
So what's going on?
Before Shen Yu'an could ask, Fei Xi explained, "It's not that there's not enough money. Miss Shen doesn't know that there's not enough food in this peaceful place. There's not much food on the market right now, and the price of food is soaring. Even if you have money and want to buy it, you can't buy it."
"Miss Shen also knows that there are many of us. In order to feed the brothers, we can only buy the old grains. As for vegetables and meat, we can save as much as possible. Anyway, it's enough to eat enough."
Shen Yuan nodded and asked, "What are the prices of various grains on the market now?"
Fei Xi told all the news he knew in detail, and Shen Yu'an just kept note of what Fei Xi said in his heart.
After a while, the three of them arrived in the town. Shen Yu'an first took them to the grain shop in the town to check the situation.
The situation is just as Feixi said, the price of food is rising.
Shen Yu'an didn't buy any food. He asked about the price and then walked out of the store.
The waiter behind him grumbled, "Tsk, he's dressed respectably, but after asking around for prices, he didn't even buy a pound of food."
Fei Xi followed behind Shen Yuan and asked, "Miss Shen, where else are we going?"
Shen Yuan walked in the direction he remembered and said, "Find a human trafficker to buy a few men and bring them back."
Fei Xi said: "Miss Shen, are you looking to hire someone to do something? You can send anyone on the mountain as you please."
Shen Yuan glanced at him and said, "Buy a few people to help with cooking and washing clothes, and also buy a few to guard the house. We won't need the people on the mountain."
Her mother and her second and third aunts all had tasks to do in the workshop. After working all day in the workshop, she still had to do laundry and cook when she got home, which was really too tiring.
Therefore, it would be easier to buy a few people to take back.
Seeing Shen Yu'an say this, Fei Xi didn't say anything else.
However, Sanlang, who had been following silently, felt a little confused when he heard what Chen Yu'an said about the people on the mountain.
But he didn't ask much, because before leaving, Shen Yu'an warned him not to say anything wrong or cause trouble when he was outside.
But he still asked about the purchase of people: "Sister, where will we live after we buy someone? Although we have many houses, there are not many empty rooms."
When Mr. Ji arrived, the last empty room was gone.
Shen Yu'an thought carefully for a while, and the idea of buying these people came to him suddenly. He indeed had no place to live for them.
She said: "Now is the hottest time of the year. After we buy them back, we will build a few thatched houses first, and then build a yard next to our house for them to live in."
This time, Shen Yu'an planned to buy two maids to cook, and then look for a few more who looked capable of guarding the house.
Passing by a vegetable market, Shen Yu'an first asked Sanlang to buy some vegetables and meat.
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the dental clinic.
Shen Yu'an led the two of them inside. Guarding inside was a middle-aged man who looked shrewd.
The broker came up to them quickly and said enthusiastically, "Dear guests, you want to buy someone."
Fei Xi replied, "Yes, bring your people out quickly for our girl to see."
"Okay, sir, please come in."
The broker happily led the people in, and then brought out a yard full of people, all of whom had signed indentures to sell their bodies.
They all had a gloomy look on their faces, as if there was no hope for the future.
"Young lady, take a look and see if there is anything you like. Many of these have worked in wealthy families before. Once you buy them back, they will be able to start working right away. You don't need to bother training them."
Shen Yuan looked at the people standing in the yard and asked, "Do you think you are a good cook?"
The people standing in the yard looked at each other.
Do you think you have good skills? Then you can just rely on your own words! It is better to be sold than to stay in this dental shop.
Immediately, several people stood up, three women and one man in total.
Several women rolled their eyes, but Shen Yu'an said nothing.
She looked at the man and asked, "Do you have a kitchen?"
The broker said, "Yes, yes, yes! Girl, do you want them to show off their skills on the spot?"
Chen Yuan looked at the women with wandering eyes and said, "Words are not enough, so it's better to let them show their skills, so that I don't have to buy them back and then sell them again."
As soon as Shen Yu'an said this, one of the women really became a little discouraged.
There are no women in this world who can't cook, but the food they cook is just enough to not kill you, and it certainly can't be called delicious.
Chen Yu'an signaled to Sanlang to take out the prepared vegetables and meat, and the broker also led everyone to the kitchen.
In addition to vegetables and meat, on the way here, Sanlang also bought a lot of seasonings such as Chen Yu'an, and now they are all neatly placed on the table.
Chen Yu'an said to the four people who stood up, "The ingredients are all there, just cook what you are good at. There are enough seasonings, so don't be stingy."
There were three pots in the kitchen and another pot in the yard, just enough for the four people.
The man and one of the women washed their hands before handling the food and rolled up their sleeves.
The other two people just picked up the ingredients on the table and started working.
Shen Yu'an looked at the two people who knew to wash their hands before cooking, and he gave them extra points in his heart.
The woman whose eyes rolled around just now still had dirty hands. Although the other woman's hands were relatively clean, her dusty sleeves rubbed against the meat when she picked up the meat, and her nails were also dirty.
When Sanlang saw this, he wanted to remind them to wash their hands first, but was stopped by Shen Yu'an.
