For a brokerage firm to operate nationwide, even if it doesn't serve a single client, it still needs a good reputation. Otherwise, if other brokers exploit its weaknesses, the end result will simply be that it is swallowed up by them.
So Yue Jiuyue calmly followed the matchmaker to choose people. After all, the matchmaker said that these were rare talents, and she would be letting down this sudden stroke of good luck if she didn't take a few back!
"Madam Lin, everyone is here. Why don't you take a look and see if there's anyone you like?"
The matchmaker looked at the large family lined up in front of her, a dozen or so people in total. She wondered how many of them Old Madam Lin would take a liking to. The higher-ups wanted the family to stay together if possible, but if that wasn't possible, she was willing to pay extra money.
"Hmm, they all look pretty good!"
Do you have any needlework skills?
Does anyone know how to soothe a baby? The baby is less than a year old and quite fussy.
Is there anyone who knows how to grow flowers?
Does anyone know how to raise pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, as well as horses, dogs, and cats?
Do you young men know how to farm? Can you endure the hardships of farming?
Who knows how to grow fruit trees? Does anyone know how to make dried fruit, preserves, or fruit wine?
Yue Jiuyue asked a series of questions, and the family opposite her looked at each other, then one by one, people answered in hushed tones:
"I'm good at needlework, and my embroidery skills are pretty good."
"I can also do needlework, though not as well as my sister, but I can also grow flowers!"
"I know how to raise horses."
"I will raise a cat."
"I can make dried fruit."
There were fourteen people in total, and nine of them stepped forward. Two of them knew how to grow flowers, four knew how to do needlework, three knew how to raise horses, one knew how to raise cats, and one knew how to make candied fruit. Some people knew two skills, and some only knew one. Of course, this was only because they only needed these skills. I believe they must have many other talents, such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and tea.
The remaining five were all teenagers.
So, what kind of treasure is this family? And how did they end up in this situation? Is it really because nobody cares about them?
"this……"
Yue Jiuyue was still thinking about how to phrase it when she saw the matchmaker immediately offer her a discount.
"Madam Lin, you've come here quite a few times. You've made many trips back and forth trying to find a suitable needlework teacher for your granddaughter. I know you're a meticulous person and not the kind of person who settles for less."
It's rare to see you so satisfied with them, and they certainly meet your requirements. Is this alright? Could you buy the whole family? I'll give you a discount; if you buy the whole family, these five little ones will be yours for free!
Yue Jiuyue: ≡ ̄﹏ ̄≡
Adding a touch...
This was the first time she had ever seen a matchmaker forcefully give something away; after all, it was all money!
So, what exactly is the inside story?
Yue Jiuyue's curiosity was piqued.
Of course, curiosity aside, she was just a peasant woman. She could listen to gossip, but nothing else mattered. She was the kind of person who was so curious that she wouldn't have enough lives to get to the bottom of things.
"Hey! Those boys and girls, they're all grown up and they've eaten their fathers out of house and home, but they can't do any work. If I take them back with me, wouldn't that just be adding to the family's burden? No way! No way!"
Yue Jiuyue waved her hands repeatedly, indicating her disagreement.
She came to buy people to work at home, not to do charity. She already has two mouths to feed at home!
