Chapter 273 The Silly Guy Who Can Eat
The man with yellow teeth listened for a long time but couldn't understand what the two were discussing, so he could only sit patiently to the side.
At this point, you absolutely must not disturb her, otherwise, given Ms. Lin's temperament, she might simply refuse to buy, and the deal will fall through.
An Shaoyao secretly watched Lin Yuesha from the side. She thought she was a difficult master or a housekeeper, but she didn't expect that the young lady of that family had come to choose people herself.
Moreover, this young lady seemed very pragmatic and did not reopen old wounds, which put An Shaoyao at ease and made her feel more favorably toward Lin Yuesha.
“Miss Lin, the climate in the North is not suitable for building greenhouses with glass; those things are too delicate.”
The family of three arrived in the North. During their journey, they heard people say how desolate the North was, and how heavy the winter snow could collapse the roofs, let alone a glazed tile roof.
In the winter in the north, there are only a few kinds of vegetables to eat, all of which can be stored in the cellar for easy preservation. The rest are pickled and occasionally taken out to eat with porridge, or stir-fried with some dried chili peppers. It's not like the south.
"So, do you have any suggestions?"
Lin Yuesha nodded. Even if the glass greenhouse could be built, she didn't have the money. Investing several thousand taels in a greenhouse and not growing any vegetables would be too much of a loss, and she didn't have that kind of ability.
This year, my family opened a vegetable garden in Chenjia Village. After planting the seeds, the village helped with the management, which is also a testament to the effectiveness of the clan's land.
Lin Yuesha plans to grow a variety of green beans, dry them in the sun, and then make braised pork with dried green beans in winter. This dish can only be made to its essence by using dried green beans.
"The stone houses also have floor heating, and firewood is burned continuously in winter."
For ventilation, we used Korean paper windows; when the weather was nice and the sun was out, that was all we could do.
An Shaoyao used to be a master at growing flowers. Vegetables are not as delicate as flowers, so they should be easier to grow, except that they are in the north and require higher temperatures.
Even so, the investment in firewood was still a large sum of money.
In the past, they hardly spent any money on firewood in the village; they exchanged it with the produce of the estate and the villagers. If they were to build a greenhouse in their mansion, they would have to consider the cost of firewood.
An Shaoyao couldn't resist and quickly did some calculations, which made Lin Yuesha nod repeatedly, saying that she was a thrifty person.
"good."
Lin Yuesha looked at the yellow-toothed man, this family of three, and she bought them.
No matter what mistakes you made in the past, having experience with housewarming dishes is more important than anything else.
As for the location for growing greenhouse vegetables, Lin Yuesha thought it over and decided to buy a small estate.
Just then, Jiang Baozhu mentioned that she didn't really want to interact with her neighbors and wanted to move to a slightly quieter place.
"Yellow-toothed man, do you have anything else suitable? Mention it, three people aren't enough."
After finalizing the purchase of the An family of three, Lin Yuesha looked at the man with yellow teeth and asked.
What kind of day is today? Is he having a stroke of good luck? Better to be lucky than early. There are still two yellow-toothed men stuck with him.
Seeing Lin Yuesha at this moment was like seeing his benefactor.
Lin Yuesha sensed something was wrong. Could it really be true?
"Yes, it really exists."
Yellow-toothed Man grinned from ear to ear, thinking about the two good-for-nothings he was about to lose. He had to sell them off even if it meant paying a discount.
The brother and sister are both simple-minded, tall and strong, but they also have a big appetite.
"No problem with work, chopping wood, boiling water, doing odd jobs, and even hunting, it's just..."
The man with yellow teeth felt a little embarrassed; it seemed unethical to always rip off one customer.
"What is it?"
Lin Yuesha's brow twitched; she had a feeling that what the yellow-toothed man hadn't said was the key.
"He can eat a lot; one person can eat the equivalent of three."
Actually, there were five, but the man with yellow teeth carefully concealed it, afraid that revealing it would frighten Lin Yuesha again.
Fortunately, people nowadays are not picky eaters. They don't need to eat white flour steamed buns; they can enjoy brown rice and black flour just the same. If there is no meat, they can eat some vegetables, or even pickled vegetables. The two siblings are not picky eaters.
"These brother and sister are unfortunate. They lost their parents, and their relatives took over their house and land. They tricked the two into coming to the prefectural city to work, and then sold them off."
The brother and sister had no idea they had been sold. When they found out, they happily accepted it, thinking that as long as they were fed, it was only right for them to work hard.
The man with yellow teeth was also very upset. He had no idea that the two had been scammed. He had bought them because he thought the brother and sister could work.
“Miss Lin, if you are looking to buy a estate, I, Huang, also have some suitable small estates for you to choose from. If you do buy an estate, consider this brother and sister as a bonus from me, as you are supporting my business.”
The man with yellow teeth gritted his teeth; if he continued raising them, he feared his rice jar would run dry.
Lin Yuesha sighed, "Why are we getting involved again?"
She felt that Huang Yaren might not be telling the truth, but in the future, with the estate growing grain and her own Chenjia Village having land, and since her family wouldn't sell the grain, they would have enough to eat, and the servants would eat more. As long as they did their best, she could accept it.
Furthermore, after buying the estate, people are needed to do the work, and the brother and sister are excellent strong laborers.
After a moment's thought, Lin Yuesha nodded in agreement.
The man with yellow teeth was overjoyed, his grin stretching from ear to ear. This slightly annoyed Lin Yuesha. What was with this expression of having successfully tricked someone? She hadn't even left the door yet and could back out at any time, but the man with yellow teeth didn't even know to restrain himself.
"How about we just give up the brother and sister?"
Unable to bear seeing the yellow-toothed man so smug, Lin Yuesha deliberately cleared her throat and said.
"Miss Lin, you..."
The man with the yellow teeth immediately closed his mouth, his expression a mixture of crying and not crying.
"Alright, consider it an extra bonus."
Lin Yuesha realized that the man with the yellow teeth was deliberately introducing her to unsellable women, seeing her as a easy target. He probably thought it was because she looked too kind.
"There's one more person who's suitable."
After saying that, the man with yellow teeth felt embarrassed.
This man is a skilled bodyguard, quiet and reliable, but he has never been able to sell himself because of a scar on his face that disfigures him.
Another reason is that the price is relatively high, costing fifty taels of silver.
"People also judge buyers by their appearance; if someone looks too fierce, it's hard to sell them."
However, Huang Yaren assured him that this person was definitely not a criminal, had decent character, and at least had no conflicts with his servants; he was just quiet.
"That's alright."
Lin Yuesha still believed in Huang Yaren, and indeed, in the countryside, someone with some martial arts skills was needed.
As Huang Yaren said, they were hard to buy; no one wanted to be a slave under a life contract. Lin Yuesha's trip was just a coincidence.
The An family consists of three people: a strong brother and sister, plus a scarred-faced bodyguard, making a total of six people—quite a formidable combination.
Lin Yuesha was very satisfied with this. She had brought money with her this time, all of which was advance payment from Jiang Baozhu. However, Lin Yuesha decided that she would pay for the people herself.
