The two men quickly discussed it and decided to buy the four servants and their death indentures.
So Jiang Sui went back and told Nanny Qian directly that for the two hundred taels, these four people would belong to her from now on.
Nanny Qian didn't expect Jiang Sui to be so generous that he was actually planning to buy a death contract. She thought she would at most buy a living contract.
Does this mean that this Ms. Jiang is a hidden wealthy woman?
By buying four people at once, she could earn a few more taels of silver as hard work fee, and she smiled even more happily.
As soon as the four servants heard that they had found their permanent master, they, who had originally kept their heads down and dared not look around, exchanged glances with each other.
They don't know whether to be happy or sad, because they are not sure what the character of their future master is like and how he will treat them. They don't ask for a good life or to go to a rich and powerful family, they just hope that the master can be kind to them so that their life will be better.
If I were too picky about everything and had a bad temper, I really don’t know how I would get through the day.
After working like slaves for so many years, they have seen all kinds of personalities of their masters and are really scared.
Aunt Qian first introduced Jiang Sui one by one:
"These two are a couple, the male's surname is He, the female's surname is Zhuang. The other two are a couple, the male's surname is Wang, the female's surname is Li. You can call them whatever you like."
"All of you, come and meet your future mistress and master."
At the call of Nanny Qian, the four servants came over together and knelt down to kowtow to Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan.
Nanny Qian pulled Jiang Sui and asked her to sit on the chair under the eaves. This girl was very formal. After that, she even asked Xiao Hechuan to come and sit with her.
Xiao Hechuan refused, and Jiang Sui also felt it was unnecessary.
However, the four servants still kowtowed obediently and said in unison:
"Meet the master of the house, meet the mistress!"
This is not possible. They are not the heads of the Xiao family. Father and mother Xiao are the most important.
"Get up, pack your things, and come with us. I'll tell you about my family's situation on the way." Jiang Sui didn't say any more nonsense. If he wanted to lecture them, he would do so behind closed doors when he got back.
You still have to establish your prestige. You can't let them think that you are young and have no temper and are easy to control. You have to use both kindness and force.
"yes!"
The four of them went to pack their things, and Jiang Sui took out the banknote and signed the receipt to confirm the indenture.
After a series of procedures, the four of them had packed up, each with two large bags.
It's not easy to carry so many things. The pawnshop has a carriage for rent. Anyway, I have spent so much money, so I don't care about the second few cents.
He rented a carriage and took them directly to the workshop, so that they could tidy up their future residence and clean the yard.
Jiang Sui is truly a master of time management and never wastes any time.
On the way, she made it clear to the four of them that the carriage was only so big, so Xiao Hechuan could only sit outside with the coachman.
It was also the first time for the four servants to ride in the same carriage with their master. They were truly flattered. Normally, they didn't even have the chance to leave the house, let alone ride in the same carriage with their master.
"From now on, the four of you will live in the workshop. There are four rooms, and you can choose how to live. The remaining two will be used as storage rooms. There will be a kitchen and other things. I will give you a fixed living allowance every month, and you can buy vegetables and cook three meals a day. During the day, you will make noodles and dry noodles. The reason why I bought you home is that I hope the secret recipe of my noodles will not be leaked. I dare not use it on ordinary people. I also hope that you can work for me steadily and don't have any crooked ideas. If the formula is leaked, I will sell you without hesitation.
I have a good temper and am easy to get along with. I don't have any strict requirements for you. My only requirement is that you keep the workshop clean and wash your hands when making things. After all, they are for people to eat. If they are not clean, it will easily make people get sick, right?
As for the other rules, I will tell you slowly later. First clean up your living place, and then live a down-to-earth life and work hard. I will not treat you unfairly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."
The servants did not dare to raise any objection. After all, they were slaves who worked like oxen and horses, so they had to do whatever their master said.
But when they heard that the master would let the four of them live by themselves and cook three meals a day in the future, it sounded quite exciting. It would make them feel very free. They would not be locked in the backyard as usual, with endless clothes to wash and firewood to chop every day.
When we arrived at the yard and opened the door, we saw a spacious courtyard, which was enough for us to display our skills. We would then send the millstone over, teach them how to extract sweet potato starch, and then tell them the subsequent procedures.
Producing and selling by oneself is too labor-intensive. The Xiao family only has so many people, and even if one person is split into two, it will not be enough.
"There are four rooms. You can choose yourselves. I will buy bedding and daily necessities and send them to you later. If you need anything, you can also tell me in advance. In short, relax a little and don't be too restrained or afraid. We are all easy to talk to. As I said before, as long as you do your job well and don't have any bad thoughts, I guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
The master Jiang Sui still had enough aura. His serious expression and intimidating tone made Xiao Hechuan stunned, but he thought he was so cute.
Usually she is well-behaved and soft, and looks like she is easy to rub, but I didn't expect that she has sharp claws. I thought she was a little rabbit, but she turned out to be a little fox that only bites people.
He might have overlooked the fact that even a rabbit will bite when it is angry.
After explaining these things clearly, I watched them choose their rooms. There were two couples, and one chose one side, with a yard in the middle, which provided good privacy.
The remaining two rooms will be used to store sweet potatoes and serve as warehouses in the future. Apart from that, the kitchen and bathroom in the yard are fully equipped, and the furniture is 70% new. Only some pots, pans, and daily necessities need to be purchased.
Letting them stay in the yard, Jiang Sui went out with Xiao Hechuan to the street to buy bedding, pots and pans for them. Now that they had bought the people and found a workshop, they had to take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It is spring now and the weather is still a little cold, but it will warm up soon, so the quilts and other things I bought are of moderate thickness.
There were so many pots, pans, and other miscellaneous items bought from the grocery store that Jiang Sui asked the store assistant to bring a cart to the workshop and let them sort them out themselves.
In addition, she also bought a bag of 30 kilograms of coarse flour, 30 kilograms of brown rice, and 30 kilograms of cornmeal for them to eat as staple food. If four people have big appetites, they can eat for a long time.
