Gu Yundong calculated the time. It was really today.

“In the afternoon? Where?”

Liu An replied, “Yes, early in the morning, at Jinxiu Restaurant in the city.”

The Liu family was mainly in the business of restaurants. Jinxiu Restaurant was the largest restaurant in Fengkai County. Of course, the Liu family also had various shops under their name. They sold snacks, pastries, and even groceries.

“Alright, I understand. We still have something to do now. We’ll go over at noon. Tell your young master to keep a seat for us.”

Liu An hurriedly asked, “Miss Gu, what’s the matter? Do you need my help?”

Gu Yundong thought about it. Liu An was more familiar with the county. She could save some effort by asking him. She asked, “Do you know which broker shop in the county has a fair price? Is the broker’s reputation good?”

Liu An was stunned. “Miss, you want to buy servants?”

“That’s right.”

“Miss, you’ve asked the right person. The Liu family has interacted with a few brokers in the city. The most fair one is the official broker Hulu Alley in the city. There’s a Granny Cao among them, and the people she trains are not bad. She has a conscience. She tells the identity and background of the servants clearly. She won’t hide it from you. As for the price, it’s a little more expensive than those private brokers, but it’s worth it.”

Gu Yundong knew what to do. “Alright, thank you. I’ll go to the brokerage first and come to the restaurant later.”

“Then I’ll go and reply to Young Master. Miss, take your time. If you need anything, feel free to come to the restaurant and look for my Young Master.”

Liu An drove the carriage away. Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan discussed for a while and went straight to Hulu Alley.

If there were no suitable ones over there, it would not be too late to take a look at the others.

Hulu Alley was very lively. Although it was called an alley, the road was very wide. Their carriage could directly rush to the entrance of the brokerage.

When Gu Yundong came down, she immediately said that she was looking for Granny Cao. The people inside knew that this was most likely introduced by an acquaintance and they immediately went to look for her.

Granny Cao was in her forties. When she came out, she did not waste any time. She brought Gu Yundong to the backyard.

Then, she called everyone out and let Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan take a look first.

Gu Yundong’s main purpose in buying people was to help refine the white sugar. Furthermore, she would sign a death contract.

After looking around, her gaze finally landed on a family with the surname Tong.

According to Granny Cao, this family of six used to be servants of a large family in the county city. That family had moved away some time ago and could not bring many servants with them, so they sold a portion of them. The Tong family was among them.

It was said that in the previous master’s house, the Tong family was also diligent in their work. However, they did not know how to suck up to their master and could not get close to the master’s house, so in the end, they were not taken away.

The Tong family had an old man and a mother. They were both 46 years old this year. The couple had two sons. The eldest son was 30 years old and had married a woman. He had a 14-year-old daughter.

What surprised Gu Yundong was that this daughter was very strong, even though she ate a lot.

The younger son was twenty-five years old. It was said that he had a wife before, but that wife found him boring. In the end, she climbed into the bed of the young master of the family and became his concubine.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yundong roughly knew why this family had been sold by the previous owner.

This concubine must have put in a lot of effort.

Gu Yundong asked them a few questions. For the time being, she did not feel that there was anything bad about them, so she bought them.

Because they were all strong laborers and were healthy, the six of them had cost 70 taels of silver on Gu Yundong, and that was because Granny Cao had given a discount..
