When Fan Cuiliu was sold, she was already married and had a daughter, and her daughter was also married. Originally, the people who sold her to the tooth bank like this, the family could redeem it with money. Of course, if she herself has money, she can also redeem it with money.

But it is a pity that she has no money. Her husband is in charge of her family. When the husband sees her being sold, and she is not young, he does not want to use money to redeem her. And her daughter wanted to borrow money to redeem her, but before she could borrow money, she was sent away by the tooth bank. So far, she has not had the opportunity to contact her daughter, and there is no way to contact her.

After Yang Haiyan knew about her situation, she didn't know how to describe them. Whether it was Hong Xuexi or Fan Cuiliu, they were both pitiful people.

In fact, here, many masters rarely sell their servants. Generally, they will only release the deed of betrayal when the servants die of old age. Because the servant will know more or less about the master's affairs, and only by holding the servant's deed of prostitution, can the servant's mouth be controlled.

Yang Haiyan: "You guys will live here in the future. I plan to do business with the shop in front. Aunt Fan will help me manage the shop, and Uncle Hong will drive the car and manage the yard." Hong Xuexi is 32 this year, and Fan Cuiliu is 38 this year. So there is nothing wrong with Yang Haiyan calling them uncle and aunt. After all, she came from modern times. Even in this imperial society, the politeness of modern people is engraved into the bones.

Uncle Hong and Aunt Fan: "It's Madam."

Uncle Hong: "Madam, can I go back and see my family when we clean up the yard?"

Yang Haiyan: "Okay." After speaking, she took out a tael of silver, "Aunt Fan, you can take the silver here, you can fill it up if there is any shortage here, and you and Uncle Fan's lunch will be handled by yourself. After the cleaning here, you will Come and find me in the family room of the military camp, I live in..."

Fan Cuiliu: "Yes, ma'am." Holding a tael of silver, she was a little nervous, but she also knew that this was Yang Haiyan's test for her. How can someone who has been a cook in a big family be stupid? She also just wanted to work hard with the master's family, hoping to contact her daughter if she had the chance.

Yang Haiyan followed Ya Granny to see who the yard bought. It took a lot of time. It was noon now, and she went back to the family room. Although I ate alone at noon, I couldn't be vague, but unfortunately there was no food at home. So she bought broccoli, pork belly and a tomato directly on the platform for 20 yuan. She made a scrambled broccoli with pork belly and a scrambled egg with tomato. All she buys is the portion of one dish, because there is no broccoli and no tomato in this world.

However, if you don't have it, you may not be able to plant it. As for the seeds, they are said to be bought from foreign merchants or found on the mountains. This is a border gate, and there are many merchants from different countries, so there are seeds of different vegetables, which will not cause suspicion.

After lunch, Yang Haiyan went to the Tang family's house and told her that she would not need to come to the house to wash the quilt and fetch water in the future, and leave such matters to Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong.

Yang Haiyan doesn't feel embarrassed about the existence of the status of a servant. She has gone through the book to this kind of society ruled by imperial power. Besides, everyone is equal in modern society. She is not a fool. So she adapts well. Of course, she will not be like the powerful people of this era, treating the servants as real slaves.

For Yang Haiyan, Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong are subordinates. She is the boss and they are employees.

Some time ago, she was busy adapting and making money, but now Yang Haiyan has adapted and has money, so she has to think about how to make her life better and safer in this era.

If you want to live better in a place, you naturally have to have a deeper understanding of this era. What I learned from the novel is really too one-sided, and it is only related to the heroine Yang Dahua. However, the author sketched the novel, and now she is the person in the novel. For her, this is a world, and what the author did not write, this world will automatically be generated.

It is better to understand the country than to understand the world. To understand this country, of course, is to understand the history of the country and understand the laws of the country. Even in a society ruled by imperial power, the power is greater than the law, but the law can sometimes protect people.

So after leaving the Tang family's house, Yang Haiyan went to the study again and bought the history of Qiguo and the Code of Qiguo.

This country is called Qiguo. The Qiguo Code contains all the legal provisions that Qiguo has issued. Although it is a thick one, it is actually incomparable with modern law books. You must know that in modern times, there are many kinds of criminal law, civil law, constitution, intellectual property law, etc. There are too many laws, but Qiguo has only one code.

Yang Haiyan came back with a book and saw Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong at the door of the courtyard.

Seeing her coming back, Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong were about to call when Sister Lu came out of the yard: "Haiyan, are you back? These two have been here for a while. They said they were looking for you. Do you know them?" She didn't. Malicious, two strangers suddenly came to the family room. She was also worried about Yang Haiyan's accident, so she came out to stop Yang Haiyan on purpose.

Yang Haiyan: "I know, they are servants I just bought from the Jamaican Bank. Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong, these are the wives of Captain Lu Bai." Yang Haiyan said that they were servants bought from the Jamaican Bank, and did not mean to insult, Rather, it states the facts.

For the two of them, they didn't feel insulted, they were indeed bought servants, and their thoughts were deeply rooted in their bones.

Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong: "Hello Madam Lu." The centurion was also an official in their hearts.

Sister-in-law Lu was stunned and almost lost her memory. Yang Haiyan actually bought someone? This...this...for a while, she didn't know what to say.

Yang Haiyan said again: "Sister-in-law, I bought a shop in the downtown area. I plan to buy snacks, and I will also subsidize my family."

Sister-in-law Lu: "This...is that so, then I wish you a prosperous business." She didn't know what to say before she regained her senses.

Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

On the other side, the eavesdropping mother Zhang originally wanted to watch the play. She thought Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong were poor relatives of the Qin family, because their appearance was so deplorable, but she heard that Yang Haiyan bought the servants, she He was stunned for a while, and then snorted again. A prodigal wife actually bought a servant, such a daughter-in-law is unacceptable. But I remembered that the dim sum made by Yang Haiyan was really delicious, and I felt sour. I prayed in my heart, hoping that her business would be bad.

Naturally, Yang Haiyan didn't know what she was thinking, so she took Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong into the courtyard and asked them to go to the study: "My husband and I live in the family courtyard of the military camp, my husband is called Qin Fang, and he is the centurion in the military camp. The yard in the busy city will be used for you to live in later, the shop will be used for dim sum business, and the yard at the back will be for you, and you will be given 200 yuan per month per month.” The servants who signed the deed of sale are all provided with food, housing and clothing. Yes, with 200 yuan a month, you can save two and a half silver a year, so the monthly rate is not low. At least in this kind of town, this month is not low.

In this regard, Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong have no opinion.

Yang Haiyan continued: "Aunt Fan's daily job is to make dim sum. I will teach Aunt Fan how to teach dim sum. When Aunt Fan is familiar with it, you can make it yourself. Just a little bit. If the recipe is leaked, I will not show mercy."

Aunt Fan immediately showed her loyalty: "Madam, don't worry, the slaves will not reveal the recipe."

Yang Haiyan nodded. In fact, she didn't care whether this recipe would be leaked, but she couldn't say that, Li Wei still wanted it. She added: "Besides, my yard work is also handed over to Aunt Fan. Every day I have no dishes, cooking, washing clothes, etc. Aunt Fan also does it first, and I will continue to look for suitable servants."

Aunt Fan: "Yes."

Yang Haiyan said to Uncle Hong again, "Can Uncle Hong drive the donkey cart?"

Uncle Hong: "Madam Hui, yes."

Yang Haiyan: "Then I'll buy a donkey cart later, and I'll keep it in your yard. From now on, you'll have to deliver meals to my husband at noon. I'll also buy two milk-producing sheep. Grazing, in the future, the matter of herding sheep and mowing the grass will also be handed over to Uncle Hong, that's all for now."

Uncle Hong: "It's Madam."

Then, Yang Haiyan took Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong to buy a donkey cart, added supplies to the yard where they lived, and bought two clothes for each of them, spending a total of 10 taels of silver.

This shop is empty, but it was originally a food business, so it needs to be renovated. Yang Haiyan asked someone to decorate it. Her decoration was very simple, following the decoration of a modern milk tea shop. There are four long tables, two on the left and right, each with four stools. Half of the counter is the counter, on which are cakes, biscuits, soybean cakes and other desserts, milk tea can be prepared inside the counter, and next to the counter is the cashier.

This kind of decoration is very simple, as long as you clean the inside, whitewash it with lime again, and then put it on the table and chair counter.

After leaving the shop, Yang Haiyan took Aunt Fan to the vegetable market. Uncle Hong went home to see his wife, and came back in two days. Because the tables and chairs were made to order, the opening was not so fast.

The vegetable market bought vegetables, and Yang Haiyan asked Aunt Fan to cook in the evening. I made a braised fish, fried potatoes with pork belly, tomato egg drop soup, and served it with my own kimchi. The main dishes are brown rice and sweet potatoes. Looking at Aunt Fan's skilled movements and the amount of oil poured, you can be sure that she was made by a big family, because only the cooks who have done it are willing to use oil. Anyway, it's not her own oil. Not distressed.

When it was time for dinner, Qin Fang came back and saw that there was one more person at home, he was stunned for a moment. After Yang Haiyan explained it to him, he didn't say anything more. First of all, this is his wife's own money, and he will not interfere. Secondly, his daughter-in-law is good at craftsmanship, and he thinks it is good to use the money to buy a shop and do a little business.

Although the status of merchants is very low, the imperial court has a definition for merchants. Only if they are more than worth the business value and pay more taxes can they be designated as merchants. Like his daughter-in-law, he has nothing to do with businessmen.
