Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 464: Selection Criteria

They all thought that it would be great if they could be chosen. With their looks and means, they might have the opportunity to serve this noble man in the future and become a noble themselves.

Their peeking and glancing did not escape Zheng Sisi's eyes.

She walked to the front and said, "My family is a farmer. I will buy people today based on fate. If any of you are willing to follow me, those who meet the requirements can consider standing over there."

Zheng Sisi casually pointed to the empty space next to her, and then said according to her own selection criteria: "Is there anyone who can read? If you are willing, you can stand over there."

As she finished her words, six people, three of whom had just peeked at Sheng Zhen.

"Those who can cook, please stand over there." As instructed, more than a dozen people stood up.

"Those who can make snacks, please stand over there." Six more people came out.

"Those who can do needlework and embroidery, please stand over there." This time, eight people stood up.

"Those who are strong enough to do the rough work, please stand over there." Everyone was puzzled. Is it okay as long as you are strong? This time, more than a dozen people stood up.

"........."

The manager of the dental clinic nearby was so happy to see so many people chosen that his teeth were showing.

After Zheng Sisi finished shouting, she asked them to stand still and then stretched out their hands for her to check.

She picked out those with long nails, those with dirt under their nails, and those who were dressed slovenly, and then she picked out the three women who were peeping at people.

Zheng Sisi pointed at the remaining people and said to the dental office manager, "We want all of these. Please go through the formalities."

The dental shop manager nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll help the girl with it right away."

At this time, there was a commotion among the selected people. Two women stood up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The older woman said, "Young lady, please be kind and buy my granddaughter as well. As long as you buy my granddaughter, we can do more work and eat less. Young lady, please."

The two looked at Zheng Sisi with tears in their eyes, begging her to buy her granddaughter together.

The manager of the pawnbroker was furious, as such bundled sales were a taboo in the pawnbroker's office. Either they would agree in advance that the sales would be between one family only, so as not to cause resentment among the buyers. However, this situation was rare, as the items were always sold individually.

The manager was afraid that these two people would ruin the big deal, so he planned to whip them, but Zheng Sisi stopped him in time.

"Manager, what's going on?"

The steward put away the whip and apologized, "Young lady, this is what happened. These two are a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they also have a granddaughter, but she is only eight years old and has not yet reached the requirements, so I did not arrange for them to come out. I did not expect these two unruly women to make trouble. It is my fault that I did not discipline them well. Please forgive me, young lady."

Zheng Sisi saw that the two men were wearing patched clothes that were washed white, but very clean. They must be diligent people. She said, "Manager, bring her granddaughter up to see."

When the pawnbroker saw that the nobleman did not blame them, he quickly went to the back room and brought out a little girl. The eight-year-old girl was skinny and small. When she came out and saw her grandmother and mother kneeling on the ground, she quickly knelt down as well.

After kowtowing to Zheng Sisi, he said in a crisp voice: "My dear, please buy Huaer. Huaer can work and eats little. It will be worth it if you buy Huaer. Huaer doesn't want to be separated from her grandmother and mother." After he finished speaking, tears began to flow.

Such a young child should still be in the arms of his parents, but now he is forced to be sold and separated from his family. It can be seen how scared he is. Zheng Sisi could not do such a thing to separate flesh and blood.

She squatted down and said, "Since Hua'er said that it's not a loss to buy it, then I'll see how to make sure I don't lose money. Work hard, the girl is waiting for you to make money for me."

The two adults understood what Zheng Sisi meant, and quickly pulled Hua'er to kowtow to express their gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. Thank you for your kindness!" Hua'er also kowtowed seriously.

Zheng Sisi said to the dental office manager, "We can go through the formalities now, right?"

"Wait a minute, why do you buy a kid like this who can't do anything instead of us?" The speaker was one of the people who were kicked out and peeked at Sheng Zhen.

Zheng Sisi turned around and looked at her: "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

The girl lowered her head under Zheng Sisi's gaze, but still said stubbornly: "I just don't accept it. I obviously meet the requirements, why don't you choose me and choose a little girl instead?"

Zheng Sisi chuckled: "Okay, then I tell you, I hire people to do things, not to make things difficult for myself."

After that, she turned around and said, "Qingmu, the rest is up to you. Rent a carriage and take the people back."

Then he left first, and Sheng Zhen followed closely behind, with a smile on his face that was not too obvious.

Everyone in the yard was left standing there quietly, and they only came to their senses after the two men left the yard.
