The escape system takes me to dig for treasures
Chapter 238 The steward is here (page 12)
The man named Chen's face froze and he had to take a few steps back.
There were no visible injuries on the body of the man named Zhang. Unlike the others next to him, the whole family had their eyebrows flying and their heads lowered.
The man named Zhang straightened his back and raised his face, but his eyes were on the ground, not looking directly at Jiang Li.
"It used to be that when the master was an official, he was responsible for managing the accounts of the master's shop, the servants in the mansion, and the expenses of the mansion..."
Jiang Li listened to it all, and only picked up a small part of it. The most important thing was to observe the facial expressions of several people.
The Zhang family seems to be more well-behaved, while the Chen family has its own little thoughts.
After almost finishing questioning the man named Zhang, he also named the woman behind him, as well as his two sons and one daughter.
The man surnamed Zhang and his mother-in-law looked to be thirty-two or thirteen years old. Their two sons were both tall and strong, looking to be fifteen to seventeen years old, and their daughter was also thirteen or fourteen years old.
The woman is literate, can do needlework, and can cook. The daughter can also cook and light a fire, but her needlework is worse.
The two sons also know some words.
After Jiang Li asked, she turned around and nodded to the shopkeeper, and was about to go out.
The family surnamed Chen suddenly became anxious, "Girl, our family is much more capable. If you choose me, I will definitely make your money back soon!"
Jiang Li ignored it, and the man named Chen started to curse.
The two sons behind the man surnamed Zhang looked at each other after swearing. The two brothers stepped forward and covered the mouth of the man surnamed Chen, and slapped him in the stomach.
The shopkeeper and the waiter looked at them and saw that they were sensible, so they didn't care.
Jiang Li and the shopkeeper came to the counter, "Let's go to the one with the surname Zhang. Please give us a price!"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The family named Zhang has three strong workers, and the price is not cheap."
Jiang Li didn't say anything, and the shopkeeper stopped being pretentious and said, "Sixty taels of silver for five people."
This price is actually not bad, mainly because Zhang committed a crime and his hands and feet were dirty, otherwise the price would have been higher than this.
Jiang Li readily gave the money and took the person away.
The shopkeeper sent a man to help Jiang Li deliver the goods.
Everyone in the Jiang family knew that Jiang Li had plans to buy someone.
There was no room for them to live in the house, but the three large tile-roofed houses built on the pig farm came in handy.
The family of five had nothing but a set of clothes they had worn for who knows how many days.
"You guys clean the house first. I'll bring you a change of clothes when I go home, and I'll buy you clothes later."
Jiang Li asked a woman from the pig farm to take them to familiarize themselves with the environment, and then went home first.
After I found a set of clothes for the five members of their family and came back, water was boiled at the pig farm, and the five members of the family took turns to wash up.
I found some food for them at the pig farm to fill their bellies first.
"I'm going to our house for dinner today, and I'll give you detailed assignments then."
Jiang Li said to the five of them.
It was already afternoon when we brought people home from the city, and the pig farm was not as busy in the afternoon as it was in the morning.
The pig farmer took them to get acquainted with them. After walking around for a while, the sun was setting in the west.
Manager Zhang's mother-in-law took the initiative to find Jiang Li and asked what she was going to cook tonight, "Miss, would you like to take me home first? We can start preparing dinner at this point."
The pig farmer took them for a walk. They didn't just look at the pig farm. They also asked the pig farmer who was the population of the Jiang family and got a rough understanding of the Jiang family.
Therefore, the mother-in-law of Zhang's manager knew that it was almost time and all the Jiang family members who had gone out to work and study would be back.
"Okay, then I'll take you and Xiaocui back first."
Jiang Li nodded.
Over there, Mr. Jiang was explaining his business to Manager Zhang.
Manager Zhang's two sons followed and listened.
These are what they need to understand.
Jiang Li also hoped that they could get started as soon as possible, so she did not interrupt them.
Taking advantage of this time, she also had to think carefully about how to arrange work for them.
Jiang Li brought Manager Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter Xiaocui to the house. He was not in a hurry to let them work. He first took the mother and daughter to familiarize themselves with the layout of the Jiang family.
After all, mother and daughter will often come here to help.
Zhao will no longer have to do the laundry and cooking at home.
After getting familiar with each other, Zhang's mother-in-law began to prepare dinner quickly.
Xiaocui is also very efficient at work. One mother and daughter wash and chop vegetables, and the other lights the fire.
Originally, according to Jiang Li's prediction, it was a little late for her to bring the two of them back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they finished cooking, Zhao and Jiang Songshu came back with Jiang Baishu and Tieniu.
Jiang Youli came back long ago.
Soon after, Mr. Jiang came back with Manager Zhang and his two sons.
The house suddenly became crowded, and there was definitely not enough room to sit at one table.
I had no choice but to take out the table where the stall was set up, build a table, and piece it together to make it work.
When Manager Zhang and his family saw that Jiang Li and his family actually asked them to join them in eating together, they quickly waved their hands, "You can't do it, you can't do it. This is against the rules."
The Jiang family looked at each other. They didn't know what it was like to eat in a wealthy family.
The main reason is that although they buy people, in the Jiang family's view, the Zhang family is only temporarily employed by the family, and they are not regarded as their own property, and there is no distinction between high and low levels.
In their hearts, the Zhang family had no choice but to temporarily settle in their own home for the sake of food.
"It's okay, just serve it to the table and eat. Our family doesn't have such rules."
Mr. Jiang persuaded.
Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu were more knowledgeable and said to Manager Zhang, "Sit down, we won't talk about this in private."
After hearing Jiang Li's words, Manager Zhang hesitated for a moment, then turned to his mother-in-law and children and nodded.
The master has spoken, so naturally he listens to the master.
So the family of five sat down next to him.
The Zhang family was surprised to find that although they all came from farmers' backgrounds, they were very disciplined when eating, and no one talked at the dinner table.
The Zhang family, who had been worried at first, slowly felt relieved. Unexpectedly, they could feel at ease and eat their meal slowly.
Manager Zhang's two sons are just old enough to eat. Ever since their father committed a crime and the family was betrayed and their future is bleak, they have never had enough to eat.
The two of them finished a bowl of rice quickly, leaving the dishes on the table untouched.
Seeing them eating so fast, they didn't dare to move while holding the empty bowls.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Go and beat it again after you finish eating. There is still rice in the pot!"
The two brothers looked at their father, and Manager Zhang's face darkened slightly, "When you come to the master's house, of course you will do whatever the master says. Listen to my wife and don't look at me!"
The two of them went to get food with their heads lowered, but they were very happy in their hearts.
But even if Mrs. Zhao had spoken, it is estimated that the Jiang family had not finished eating yet, and the two of them came out after finishing less than half a bowl.
