Chapter 138 Buying People
"Mumu, come and take a look, how about this shelf?" Next to Su Dingguo was a ready-made shelf.
"Grandpa, is this done?" Su Mu looked at the shelf and found that it was exactly what she had thought.
"Let me show you one first. Is this one okay?" Su Dingguo asked.
"That's the shelf! Thanks, Grandpa!"
"Then make the rest of the shelves in the same way." Su Dingguo patted the shelf that was used for both storage and displaying vegetables.
Now that the problem of shelves has been solved, all that remains is to deal with display, placement of items, hiring clerks, and management.
Su Mu has also learned about some servant buying recently. Servants are also registered separately, and the more you register, the more expensive it is.
When I came to the government office, I wanted some official help so that I could have more security.
"Miss Su is here?"
"Master Fang, are you all right? I came here to find Yazi to buy some servants."
"What kind of servant does Miss Su want to choose?"
"It would be best if he can read and write and manage accounts and math." Su Mu said. After all, what she wanted to buy was someone who could be a manager, and these were basic conditions.
Lord Fang pondered for a moment and introduced a human trafficker, "He should have a group of new recruits recently who can meet Miss Su's requirements."
"Thank you, Master Fang."
"No problem, it's my job."
Su Mu went out and came to a street full of human traffickers. There were many people sitting or standing on both sides of the street. He found one of the human traffickers according to the address provided by the entruster.
"Miss Su." When the human trafficker saw that it was a girl, he immediately knew that this must be the girl that Lord Fang was talking about.
"What kind of servant does Miss Su want to buy?" The human trafficker came closer.
"I want to find someone with stronger abilities."
"Then please come over here, Miss Su. These are all top-class servants." The top-, middle-, and lower-class servants all stood separately for the guests to choose from.
"Is there anyone who can read and write and is good at math?"
Seven or eight people stood up. Su Mu looked at these people. They were men and women of different ages.
Almost everyone in the upper class can read, but there are some who are not good at math and have to give up.
A man in his forties started to promote himself, "Miss, please choose me. I am very literate and have been the owner of several shops. My accounting ability is unquestionable." The man talked eloquently and wanted Su Mu to buy him.
Su Mu listened silently without interrupting, because 006 was chattering anxiously in her mind, [Host, this person is not a good person. I can feel from the scan that he is lying and not honest at all. ]
"Okay, I understand. Thank you 006."
Ren Yazi also wanted to speak, but didn't know how to say it.
"Okay." Su Mu interrupted his boasting. This man didn't sound honest.
The man was a little unhappy about being interrupted and could only shut up reluctantly.
"006, what do you think of the woman next to her?" Su Mu asked 006 in his heart.
[I can feel that she is a righteous person. ]
The woman that Su Mu was talking about looked to be in her thirties, and her temperament was quite different from others.
"What should I call this person?"
"Miss, my surname is Du and my name is Er Niang." The woman said gracefully.
Su Mu nodded and looked like someone who could be in charge.
"Have you ever been a steward?"
"Miss, I have always been the manager of the shop." The woman introduced to Su Mu several shops that she had managed before. They were all shops that Su Mu had heard of and were well managed.
Then why was she sold out?
"you?"
The woman saw Su Mu's confusion and explained, "Due to internal reasons of the previous owner, all the women in the shop were sold."
She briefly explained the reason. The master's family had married a new bride whose family was powerful and the master would always rely on that woman. In order to make the master feel at ease, all the female managers were replaced.
Su Mu was really speechless. What was the owner thinking?
"006 What do you think of her?"
[Host, she is still okay. ]
"Okay, it's your turn!"
The trafficker was delighted, "Miss Su is a top-class servant, and she has many skills. She needs 20 taels of silver."
"Okay." Su Mu readily paid the money and got the indenture contract.
Renyazi kindly reminded Sumu, "Fortunately, you didn't choose that man. Although he is capable, he is slick and lazy. He has been sold back several times."
"Thank you."
"It's okay. Miss Su, come to me next time if you need anything."
Su Mu brought Du Er Niang to the shop, "Er Niang, this is the shop I'm about to open, you just need to continue to be the manager here."
"It's Miss."
"I'll give you a salary every month."
"Miss, this is not possible. How can a servant get paid?" Du Er Niang waved her hands repeatedly.
"It's different here. You can live here peacefully. By the way, do you know anything?"
"Miss, I can do laundry, cooking, and mending. I can do all the daily chores, and I also know some martial arts."
"You also know some martial arts!" Su Mu was surprised, but few women would learn kung fu.
Du Erniang smiled bitterly, "My boxing and kicking skills can only protect myself, not very good. As a woman, I must be able to protect myself."
As a female shopkeeper, she faced a lot of troubles, but the master did not care about their safety as long as they could make money for him.
She could only be forced to secretly learn some kung fu for self-defense. Even her previous master didn't know about this, and she didn't know why he inexplicably trusted this girl.
"You are really great! You don't have to worry about these problems here. There are two rooms here and you can choose one to stay in." Su Mu took her to the backyard.
"The shop is not open yet, and we need to continue to organize it in the next few days."
"Miss, leave it to me. I can watch over it. I have experience."
She has learned a lot of skills as a housekeeper over the years, including how to handle and receive some people and things, and she is fully capable of doing so.
"Okay, most of the daily necessities in this house are complete, but I'll need you to do the laundry and cooking."
"Miss, these are nothing. You have been very good to me. These are what I used to do." Du Er Niang said gratefully.
In the past, they didn't even get any wages, and it was very good to get some tips occasionally.
"I'll give you some silver first so you can buy some clothes for yourself."
She can prepare daily necessities such as pots, pans, and utensils, but she really doesn't know how to choose clothes for others.
"It's okay, Miss. I have enough clothes to change." Du Er Niang didn't want to trouble the young lady anymore. She was so kind.
"No need, since I bought you, you must at least have enough food and clothes to live with me.
I give you the money. It's up to you whether you want to buy ready-made clothes or make them yourself by buying cloth." Su Mu put the money directly into Du Erniang's hand.
