Gu Yundong calculated the time. It was really today.
“In the afternoon? Where?” The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to N0vel..Bjn.
Liu An replied, “Yes, early in the morning, at Jinxiu Restaurant in the city.”
The Liu family was mainly in the business of restaurants. Jinxiu Restaurant was the largest restaurant in Fengkai County. Of course, the Liu family also had various shops under their name. They sold snacks, pastries, and even groceries.
“Alright, I understand. We still have something to do now. We’ll go over at noon. Tell your young master to keep a seat for us.”
Liu An hurriedly asked, “Miss Gu, what’s the matter? Do you need my help?”
Gu Yundong thought about it. Liu An was more familiar with the county. She could save some effort by asking him. She asked, “Do you know which broker shop in the county has a fair price? Is the broker’s reputation good?”
Liu An was stunned. “Miss, you want to buy servants?”
After looking around, her gaze finally landed on a family with the surname Tong.
According to Granny Cao, this family of six used to be servants of a large family in the county city. That family had moved away some time ago and could not bring many servants with them, so they sold a portion of them. The Tong family was among them.
It was said that in the previous master’s house, the Tong family was also diligent in their work. However, they did not know how to suck up to their master and could not get close to the master’s house, so in the end, they were not taken away.
The Tong family had an old man and a mother. They were both 46 years old this year. The couple had two sons. The eldest son was 30 years old and had married a woman. He had a 14-year-old daughter.
What surprised Gu Yundong was that this daughter was very strong, even though she ate a lot.
The younger son was twenty-five years old. It was said that he had a wife before, but that wife found him boring. In the end, she climbed into the bed of the young master of the family and became his concubine.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yundong roughly knew why this family had been sold by the previous owner.
This concubine must have put in a lot of effort.
Gu Yundong asked them a few questions. For the time being, she did not feel that there was anything bad about them, so she bought them.
Because they were all strong laborers and were healthy, the six of them had cost 70 taels of silver on Gu Yundong, and that was because Granny Cao had given a discount..
