"If it wasn't for Uncle Liu's introduction, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong place." Gu Chengrui smiled and shook his head.

After hearing this, Zhou Ying gave him an angry look and said, "You know it well?"

"The picture on TV is so impressive." Gu Chengrui hurriedly raised his hand.

Hearing what she said, she also thought of the bustards in TV dramas, especially the women in the war movies, who stood on the street and waved their hands to donate.

Soon Granny Ma led a group of people in, including men, women, children, and even babies.

It seems that this Granny Ma is a good person, otherwise she wouldn't be raising a baby.

Then he thought about the abnormality, how could the dental shop have babies for sale, and asked directly: "Grandma Ma, what's the matter with them, why do they still have a baby with them?"

"Don't mention it, I was pregnant two months ago, but I can't accept it, they are official slaves."

"Official slave?"

"Yes, the ones from the south say that there are illegal salt sellers in the clan, but I don't know the details."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Ying immediately thought of what happened to the Gu family back then, and it seemed that they should be the same people.

Now that I think about it, it's a good idea to come to Gu's family just to steal the house. If he is really used as an official slave, he will never have a bright future.

At the same time, Gu Chengrui also thought of it, and was immediately afraid.

Daming's official slaves are not servants who are only used by officials, but people who are lower than ordinary dead contracted people. It can be said that they are equivalent to slaves, animals, people who no one cares about when they die.

The key is that apart from the amnesty of the officials, the generations will be slaves, and there will be no freedom at all.

Zhou Ying calmed down and asked, "Are they all official slaves?"

"No, there are only three members of their family left, nothing else."

"That's good." Zhou Ying got up and said, then glanced at the crowd and said, "Regardless of men and women, those who know how to cook will take the initiative to stand up. What I mean by cooking is not just knowing how to cook, at least someone who has a unique skill in their hands."

After she finished speaking, two women and one man stood out sparsely.

"Is it gone?" Zhou Ying asked again.

Then another man stood out from the crowd, but he was hesitant, and it was obvious that he was very conflicted.

Zhou Ying pointed at him directly and asked, "What's the matter with you, will it happen?"

"Yes, I was a cook before, but..."

"Look at our worthless allegiance, right? First, tell me where you were a cook?" Gu Chengrui said here.

"I did it before with a big family in the capital, and I was sold because I offended someone."

"We want to open a restaurant, do you want to do it or not?"

"Open a restaurant." The man's eyes lit up immediately.

He really doesn't want to enter the mansion anymore. If it's a harmonious family, it's okay, but if there are many disputes, he'll live in fear every day, for fear of being taken advantage of by others.

But he was afraid of ruining his skills for someone who was too poor, so it would be best if he could enter a restaurant.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Fine, but I have to bring my wife and children with me."

After finishing speaking, a woman and a seven or eight-year-old boy were pulled out from the crowd.

"Okay, stand aside first." Zhou Ying glanced at the two of them and nodded after making sure they were clean and tidy.

With two men and two women, she didn't want to hire any more cooks, so she went forward and picked three young men who looked neatly dressed and said, "Grandma Ma, just a few of them."

"You were introduced by Lao Liu, and I won't play tricks with you. The three women are ten taels each, and the five strong laborers are twelve taels each. That child counts as five taels." Granny Ma broke off at this point. Counting with his fingers, he said, "Ninety-five taels in total."
