After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 362: Nanny Wang

Ye Erlang had an idea and invited Zhang Yaren to get in the car and go take a look.

When they arrived at the place, Zhang Yaren led Ye Erlang into the house.

"Manager Ye, look at these girls. They are definitely good at their jobs."

Ye Erlang took a glance and pulled Zhang Yaren to look at the two people at the stove.

These girls are not very old and they don’t fit in anywhere.

If he keeps it at home, his wife will tear it apart. If he keeps it in the store, at most he can help with cleaning.

Besides, he was frightened by the famine and wanted to save any money he had in case he might need it in the future.

Zhang Yaren couldn't persuade him, so he stopped talking and took his men to the innermost room.

This group of people were sold out by a family of officials. When the master of the family committed a crime, even the servants could not be saved.

On the way there, Zhang Ya introduced the old couple's situation.

The old couple had no children, and they wanted to be sold together to find a good family so that they would have a place to live in their old age.

Ye Erlang had an idea in his mind that not many people would buy such old items.

It is not very cost-effective if you buy it as a couple.

When they reached the innermost room, Ye Erlang took a look and was very satisfied.

The couple dressed very neatly, their clothes were clean and tidy, and their hands had no nails.

The woman's hair was wrapped tightly with a cloth. Her clothes were white, but they were washed very clean and had no wrinkles at all.

Ye Erlang only looked at their appearance and had a higher opinion of the two in his mind.

After entering the room, the old couple looked at Ye Erlang with hope.

A lot of people came these days, but no one wanted to buy them.

Ye Qing saw that the two of them were older than Zhou and younger than Li, and they looked very strong.

"Two elders, I heard that you are good at cooking. What can you cook?"

The old couple looked at each other and introduced themselves.

"I am in charge of the food for several masters in the mansion. I can prepare home-cooked dishes as well as dishes for banquets."

The old woman also talked about what she is good at, "I used to mainly make postpartum meals, and I can also make home cooking."

When Ye Erlang heard about confinement meals, he was a little excited.

His wife is about to give birth, and the family really needs someone to take care of it.

There are many people in the family, and his mother would definitely be overwhelmed if she were the only one to cook.

It's just that they are both old and can't do this for a few more years.

Ye Erlang hesitated a little and went back to the front yard with Zhang Yaren.

"Brother Zhang, how much are these two people?" Ye Erlang asked the price first.

Zhang Yaren also saw Ye Erlang's reluctance, "Ten taels of silver for two people, this price is really not high."

Zhang Yaren was afraid that the two men would be stuck with the deal, so he didn't raise the price much and even lowered it a little.

The old couple can eat a lot in a day, so feeding them one more day means wasting one more day of food.

Ye Erlang was still hesitant, but thought that the old woman could help with cooking at home and talk to Li when she was free.

The old man asked him to roast meat jerky in the store and help train a few apprentices.

Besides, ten taels of silver can be earned in a month if business is good.

As for accommodation, they can be allowed to live in the long-term workhouse.

A row of houses was built there, and the old couple lived there freely.

Ye Erlang gritted his teeth and decided to buy it. At worst he would get scolded when he got back.

"Can it be cheaper?" Ye Erlang bargained habitually.

Zhang Yaren said bitterly, "Shopkeeper Ye, this price is for you at a loss. You know the market, one person can sell for ten taels of silver."

Ye Erlang thought it made sense, so he took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.

Zhang Yaren took the money and urged the old couple to pack up their things and follow Ye Erlang home.

I’m afraid it’s too late and Ye Erlang will regret it.

Since Ye Erlang had decided to buy it, he was thinking about how to tell his family, after all, no one in the village had bought the person yet.

Ye Erlang thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution, so he finally decided to tell the truth.

When they got home, it was already dark. Ye Erlang first sent the people to the farmhands' room.

There was an empty room over there with a bed and a mat, but no bedding.

Ye Erlang sent them there, let them choose two unoccupied rooms, and asked them to clean up first.

Ye Erlang went home to get bedding for them and took them to have dinner in the city.

When Ye Erlang arrived home, the whole family was waiting for him in the yard.

"Erlang, have you eaten? I'll make something for you." Zhou felt sorry for her son.

"Mom has eaten. Stop busying yourself. I have something to tell you."

These words aroused the curiosity of the people in the yard, and they sat back down, waiting for him to speak.

Ye Erlang still had something to deliver, so he just told them about the purchase of two people and also repeated their basic information.

After saying that, he lowered his head and prepared to be scolded. After waiting for a while, he did not receive the scolding as he expected.

Ye Erlang looked up at everyone, and Ye Qing was the first to react.

"Do we not have to cook anymore? I've wanted to hire someone to cook for a long time, but I'm afraid my parents won't agree."

Zhou opened her mouth and swallowed the curse.

Their family is growing and there is a lot of work to do in the fields. If they find someone to help with cooking, she can also work more in the fields.

Boss Ye felt that he was a little old, but then he thought that this age was just right and there was no need to avoid suspicion, and no one would gossip about him.

Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li didn't say anything. Now that Boss Ye is the head of the family, they listen to their son.

"I think this is a good idea. In the future, there will be someone at home who specializes in cooking, and you can let go and do the cooking."

Boss Ye and Wei Xin had no objection. Ten taels of silver was really not a lot.

Boss Ye seemed to have thought of something, "In the village, don't say you bought someone, just say you hired someone."

Boss Ye was worried that someone in the village would tell others, so he didn't let them tell anyone.

After everyone discussed it, Zhou packed up her things at home and prepared some bedding and daily necessities for the old couple.

You also need to prepare some pots, pans, and utensils, as they also need to live.

Ye Erlang breathed a sigh of relief. His family members thought about it more carefully than he did.

Ye Lao Da and Zhou followed Ye Lao Er to deliver the things. They saw that the old couple cleaned the house in a short time and had a much better impression of them.

"Madam Wang, Uncle Wang, we are here to deliver something to you." Ye Erlang did not go in, but shouted at the door.

People living in other rooms heard Ye Erlang's voice and came out to help unload things.

There were many people working, and half a truckload of things were quickly brought into the house.

Boss Ye introduced Old Third Xu to the old couple, telling them they could look for him if they had any problems in the future.

Xu Laosan also respected the two elderly people and promised to take care of each other.

Zhou entered the room and greeted the two elderly people.

"Madame Wang, the man outside is my son. I know about your situation. You can rest at home for two days before you go back to work."

Nanny Wang was somewhat touched. "Madam, thank you for giving us a bite to eat. We will definitely work hard in the future."

It was the first time that Zhou was called "Madam" and she was unable to react for a moment.
