People who work in the brokerage industry have no compassion for others left.
Although Yue Jiuyue felt sorry for the other party, in this day and age, the only way she could help them was to buy them. At least she could guarantee that she would be a good owner.
Of course, sympathy aside, the reason she wanted to buy from the other party was because she found him quite pleasing to the eye and thought he seemed honest and reliable.
As for whether the other person is honest or not, we'll find out after spending some time together. If the other person isn't honest, we can just send them back.
Although she had the illusion of being drunk, she figured she should do as the Romans do. She would definitely buy more servants in the future, and she would get used to it sooner or later.
After all, there are many pitiful people in the world. As long as the other party is honest and law-abiding, she can even give many pitiful people a home. Farming requires a lot of people, and her small workshop, which she has not yet opened, needs even more manpower.
Why am I suddenly having this strange feeling that I'm a jerk, wanting to give every girl a home...?
Holding the indentures of the mother and her two children, Yue Jiuyue led them away from the brokerage firm.
She had originally planned to go to the county town, but it was a bit inconvenient to bring the mother and three of them. So Yue Jiuyue decided to just wander around the town and maybe she would find something unexpected.
Yue Jiuyue went to the general store first, and asked about any seeds she didn't recognize. She actually found out some good things from them.
"Are these lotus seeds?"
Lotus seeds are edible, lotus roots are edible, the lotus flowers grown from them are beautiful, and lotus leaves can be used to make porridge. Every part of the lotus is a treasure!
"Huh? What are lotus seeds? I don't know either! These were all sold to the shop by a merchant a long time ago. That man originally planned to continue north, but he heard bad news from his family when he got to this area, so he had no choice but to come to Huandong Town and sell everything to the shop cheaply. He didn't even say what it was."
The shop assistant was completely bewildered. What were lotus seeds? He was telling the truth; he really didn't recognize those seeds, and neither did the shop owner. They had been sitting there unsold for a long time, and the shop owner was already regretting his momentary "kindness."
"How much is it? If it's too expensive, I won't buy it."
Yue Jiuyue was also afraid that the general store would take advantage of the scarcity of these plants and sell them at high prices. Although these ornamental plants were indeed quite expensive at this time, ordinary people wouldn't buy these flowers and plants that were neither edible nor drinkable, right?
"Well, you know, ma'am, that the things these rich people use, no matter how cheap they are, are still very expensive for us ordinary folks. Ma'am, why don't you look at something else? Look at my soybeans, they're plump and round, not a single one is bad. The tofu made from these soybeans will definitely be delicious!"
The waiter was afraid of being scolded if he revealed the price. Selling overpriced items in a shop in town would make these clueless old ladies think he was deliberately trying to rip them off. Little did they know, how could a mere waiter dare to do that? This shop wasn't even his!
Yes, it belongs to his family, to his father, not him. That makes sense.
"I don't buy soybeans, and I don't buy mung beans. Just tell me straight, what's the price of these seeds that I've never seen before? I think this adds up to less than half a pound. The most expensive grain was only twenty-four coins a pound. Even if this is doubled, would you sell it for twenty-four coins?"
Upon hearing Yue Jiuyue's strange calculation method, the waiter was so astonished that he couldn't close his mouth.
