Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 191 Dealing with a Matchmaker
Even though Jiang Chuyue spoke arrogantly, she was still extremely cautious when it came to actual actions. The identity of this county magistrate was vague, and even Xiao Yihao's people had not been able to please him, so she had to be even more cautious.
Fortunately, I was familiar with the shopkeepers of the grain shops and knew that they all had some real skills under their command, otherwise I would not have been able to run the grain shops for many years without any problems.
"Boss, I have an important task for you to do." Jiang Chuyue went to the owner of the grain shop and blurted out the purpose of this trip.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper really believed that she was the boss. Although he felt strange, he did not question it. "I wonder what important job Boss Jiang has?"
"Find a way to send someone to keep an eye on the magistrate's movements."
After these words came out, the shopkeeper stopped breathing and stared at Jiang Chuyue with horror. He swallowed hard and regained some rationality. "Boss Jiang, are you saying that we should send someone to keep an eye on our county magistrate?"
"Yes." Jiang Chuyue's serious expression made the shopkeeper doubt himself: Is he overthinking? Is this county magistrate really nothing to be afraid of?
As soon as this outrageous idea arose, it was suppressed by the shopkeeper. Their county magistrate had been entrenched in the town for many years and could be said to be the local emperor of the area. Their businessmen were eager to curry favor with the county magistrate.
Jiang Chuyue actually asked them to send someone to keep an eye on the county magistrate?
"Boss Jiang, this is not a good idea. If the magistrate finds out, the people we sent out may not be able to come back." The shopkeeper wanted to persuade him again.
"Just go with peace of mind. You don't have to follow too closely. It's enough to know roughly where the magistrate went and what he did." Jiang Chuyue was also aware that the risk of this incident was extremely high. The shopkeeper was hesitant and unwilling to agree because he didn't want to get involved in any trouble.
"The most important thing for the people we send out is to protect themselves. How much information they can get out depends on their luck. If they are discovered, I will be solely responsible for it."
Things have come to this point, and no matter how reluctant the shopkeeper is, he has no choice but to nod and give in.
"There is one more thing." Jiang Chuyue's trip was not just for the matter of the county magistrate. Seeing that the world was about to fall into chaos, she had to train some people of her own to avoid being isolated and helpless when the world was in turmoil.
"Boss Jiang, just speak up." He even agreed to send people to keep an eye on the county magistrate. What could be more terrifying than this?
"I want to pick some people to train, but when I went to find a matchmaker, all the good seedlings had already been picked." The remaining seedlings didn't have much talent, and Jiang Chuyue really didn't want to spend so much time and effort on this.
Since she wants to train people, she naturally has to choose the best ones, and time is running out.
"What's so difficult about this?" When the shopkeeper heard about this, he knew what was going on and quickly promised, "I'm very familiar with that matchmaker. I heard that she just got a batch of good ones. If it's not too much trouble for Boss Jiang, would you like to go over there?"
Jiang Chuyue nodded her chin slightly, indicating her agreement.
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked the servant to harness the carriage and personally invited Jiang Chuyue to get on the carriage. In order to avoid suspicion, the shopkeeper sat in the front of the carriage and went directly to the matchmaker's residence.
Before the carriage stopped, the matchmaker heard the noise in the house, stood up and looked out. When she saw it was the shopkeeper, she hurried over to greet him.
"Oh, isn't this Shopkeeper Zhang? I haven't seen him for so long!" The matchmaker and the shopkeeper were old acquaintances, and they spoke to each other in a very familiar manner.
"Yes, it's been quite a while since we last met." The shopkeeper was talking to the matchmaker, and he did not forget to signal the servant to ask Jiang Chuyue to get off the carriage.
The matchmaker naturally also noticed Jiang Chuyue, a person whom even Shopkeeper Zhang treated with great respect.
"This person looks a little unfamiliar, who is he?"
"This is the current owner of the grain shop. I am just helping Boss Jiang to run the business of the grain shop." When the identity of the boss behind the grain shop was revealed, the matchmaker knew that this person must not be offended.
"So it's Boss Jiang. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you and didn't come to greet you in person." The matchmaker had a very good eye and a quick mind. She knew why Boss Jiang and Manager Zhang came after just one look.
"You're welcome. Manager Zhang and I came here because we have something to ask you." Jiang Chuyue smiled slightly, looking like a very good-tempered person.
But a person who can become the boss behind the grain shop and be respected by Manager Zhang can definitely not be an ordinary person.
The matchmaker saw it clearly and naturally knew that these people did not like flattery. "I guess Boss Jiang is selecting some suitable people to serve and train?"
As she spoke, she paid attention to the expressions of Jiang Chuyue and Shopkeeper Zhang. Seeing that they looked calm, without any dissatisfaction or impatience, she knew that she had guessed right.
"It just so happens that a new group of people have arrived here. Why don't you follow me in and pick some, Boss Jiang?"
Jiang Chuyue came here for this purpose. Seeing that the matchmaker was quick to speak and act, she naturally did not waste any more words and said, "Thank you for your help."
I quickly followed the matchmaker's pace and followed her around to the backyard, where I discovered that there were many young girls, men, and small children of all kinds locked in the shed.
Jiang Chuyue knew at a glance that the matchmaker was not lying.
"These are all top-quality goods. I had planned to send them to those companies tomorrow to let them pick them out first. But since you, Boss Jiang, have come in person, I'll naturally give you the first priority." The matchmaker was accustomed to dealing with wealthy businessmen, and she had to be extra courteous when dealing with these people.
It became a habit, and when facing Jiang Chuyue, he couldn't help but bring the habit out.
Seeing Jiang Chuyue frowned, the matchmaker hurriedly asked, fearing that she would be displeased by Jiang Chuyue, "Boss Jiang doesn't like it?"
Nowadays, famine is rampant and food is particularly important. The matchmaker knows very well that when the world is in chaos, the price of food will be even more expensive. At this time, you must not offend the owner of the grain shop.
"No." Jiang Chuyue's expression turned cold. It's not that she looked down on them, but she couldn't help but feel sorry when she heard that the matchmaker treated these children as commodities.
They are all living people, but for various reasons, they have fallen into the situation of selling their bodies and are eventually bought and sold like commodities. They have no control over their life and death, which is really sad.
But this is the way the world is. Even if Jiang Chuyue wanted to help them, there were simply too many people in the world and she couldn't help them all.
With her brows lowered and her emotions controlled, Jiang Chuyue signaled the matchmaker to open the lock on the shed, stepped into the shed, and personally selected about seven or eight people who were suitable for martial arts training. There were also a few particularly pitiful children, and Jiang Chuyue also felt compassion for them and wanted to take them away.
"How much money do these people need?"
"Boss Jiang has a really good eye!"
