Chapter 114 The shop is surrounded

There are not many people in Yaxing, but a few Yaboya people gather together to chat and eat melon seeds.

  As soon as Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu explained their purpose of coming, Yapo immediately stood up, patted himself with his hand, and said with a smile: "What kind of servant do you two young masters want to buy?"

  "It happens that new people have just arrived here. They all worked in wealthy families and are very smart."

  "Take us to see it first." Ye Anyian said.

  "Okay, you two, come with me."

  As Ya Po said, she stood up and led the way, leading the two of them into a shabby-looking house inside Ya Hang.

  The room was not big, but there were twenty or thirty people crowded inside, both men and women.

  Ye Annian took a glance and saw that the men were all thin and had a bright red pregnancy mole on their face or around their eyes, forehead, or chin, and he knew that these men were all young men.

  There were too many people in the room, so the two stood at the door and scanned the faces of these people one by one.

  The Yapo thought that they were not interested in it, so she said hurriedly: "If you want to buy it back for strength work, there are all men in the next room, and some of them have a lot of strength."

  Ye Annian shook his head and asked Ya Po to call these people out and stand in rows in the courtyard.

  After walking back and forth a few times, he raised his hand and nodded at six people. Yapo's eyes lit up as she looked at them, thinking that these two people didn't look very rich, but they ordered so many people at once.

  But before she could be happy, Ye Anyian spoke: "Is there anyone among you who can read? Come forward."

  After he finished speaking, only three of the six people took a step forward.

  Ye Anyian asked the three illiterate people to go back, and then said to the remaining three people: "I will give each of you a piece of wood and some woodcarving tools later. Make a wooden top according to my requirements. I will Just the one who does the best."

The three of them immediately cheered up upon hearing this. They held the wood and carving knife and looked at Ye Anyian attentively.

  Ye Anyian taught them the lesson and asked them to do it.

  The wooden spinning top is the simplest and most basic, and it can also show a person's hands-on ability.

  Upon hearing this, Ya Po next to her immediately cast her eyes on Ye Anyian again, looking up and down carefully.

  Recently, there has been a rumor in Tianshui Town that there is a young man named Ye who is very good. He won the first prize at the carving banquet of Quedenlou on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but refused the banquet of the shopkeeper of Quedenlou. It is said that on that day, there were people from Anxing County The official master was there, but the young man didn't show any respect at all and took his husband and left directly.

  He is seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome and good-looking, with superb carving skills and can make various wood-carving gadgets.

  Hiss, the more we look at them, the more they look like each other.

  Ya Po was staring at Ye Anyian in a trance when Jiang Zhu unexpectedly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Does it look good?"

  Jiang Zhu had a smile on his face, but Ya Po broke into a cold sweat: "No, it's not."

  She knew that her behavior just now was very rude. For a person who deals in human trafficking, it is always rude to stare at people like this.

  "I just saw that this young master looks... somewhat familiar. He looks like the young man who won the first prize at the Carved Flower Banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival Night. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

  Knowing that she didn't mean any harm, Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows: "You have good eyesight."

  Ya Po was overjoyed, it turned out to be that little brother Ye!

  This attitude immediately became more attentive: "You two take your time, choose slowly! If there is no one you like among these people, there will be several girls and boys who will be sent over in a few days!"

  After saying that, he personally moved two chairs over and asked the two of them to sit and pick them, while he stepped back with great discernment.

  The three chosen ones were all cutting wood seriously. Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu sat aside and chatted about things in the shop.

  But at this moment, standing at the edge of the losing team, a dark-looking boy suddenly called Ye Anyian.

  "Old...two bosses, I, I want to give it a try too, okay?"

  Ye Anyian heard the sound and came over. This boy was a little shorter than him, with a tiger-like appearance, wheat-colored skin, and a figure that was not as slim as the other boys. Although he was not fat, he did have some tendons on his body, and he looked like he had been doing rough work all year round.

  "Are you literate?" Ye Anyian asked.

  "If you know how to read and write, I can also settle accounts!" The little brother quickly agreed.

Ye Anyian gave him a piece of wood and wood carving tools: "Then you give it a try."

  "Okay! Thank you boss!"

  After waiting for almost half an hour, the four of them finished their work one after another.

  Ye Annian checked them one by one, and was a little surprised that among the four, it was this tough-looking guy who did the best job.

  The wooden top was not only cut into a straight shape, but the edges and curved surfaces were also polished smooth. Ye Anyian put it on the ground and tried to spin it, and found it quite easy.

  "It's up to you." Ye Annian decided quickly and asked Ya Po to get his deed of betrayal.

  Then he asked: "What is your name? How old are you this year? What kind of work have you done before?"

  "My name is Yu Hu. My previous owners all called me Brother Hu. I am fifteen this year. I have done everything, chopping wood and lighting fires, plowing the land for the owner's family, serving the young master of a wealthy family, running a shop and working as a waiter. I learned carpentry from an old carpenter for a few months." Brother Hu scratched his head and smiled at Ye Anian, showing a small pointed tiger tooth.

  Ye Annian frowned slightly, Brother Tiger was quite smart, and even though he was young, he knew how to read people's eyes. But why would such a person move through so many different families, only to end up in Yahanglai again?

  Seeing his hesitation, Ya Po, who was hiding aside, came over and said, "Young Master Ye has good vision. Brother Hu is a capable man and there is no problem with him."

  "Don't worry, I know all the details of the people who come into my hands. He was born to a wealthy family in Anxing County, and he worked for the owner's family since he was a child. Later, when the family declined, he left him. Everyone has been sold out. He just hangs around outside, but as you can see, no one wants a guy who looks like this."

  Also, most servants who want to do menial work choose men who can do more work if they have the strength. No one wants a boy even if he is stronger, and they are afraid that he will not be careful when doing fine work.

  "The last owner was an old carpenter in our town. The old carpenter had evil intentions and had evil thoughts towards Brother Tiger. Brother Tiger crippled the old carpenter, found out the deed of betrayal, escaped, and gave himself to Even if you sell it, you will be miserable." Ya Po sighed.

  Knowing Yu Hu's background, Ye Anyian felt relieved and bought him directly.

  With five taels of silver, Mrs. Ya received it happily and sent the three of them out of Yahang with a lot of thanks.

  Ye Annian looked at Yu Hu's tattered clothes and took Jiang Zhu to buy two replacements first.

  The three of them came out of the clothing store. They didn't go far when they saw Zhao Dazhao, who was sent by Wen Heng to guard the West Street store, running over in a hurry.

  When Zhao Da saw the two of them, he couldn't even breathe, so he said: "Boss Ye, Boss Jiang! You two should go back quickly! Then...then the Zhou family surrounded the shop with people!"

  "What is Zhou doing? What is he doing around the shop?" Ye Annian frowned.

  The shop was rented by Wen Heng, and the lease was signed for one year. How dare Zhou Zaiqian bring someone to cause trouble?

  "Where is your second young master?" Jiang Zhu asked.

  Zhao Da: "I should have brought people over here by now!"

Hearing what he said, Ye Annian felt that something was wrong. Wen Heng only left two people to guard him. Zhao Da ran out to find them, so who was going to notify Wen Heng?

  "Qian Er went to find your second young master?"

  "Yes!" Zhao Dahuan answered loudly.

  As a result, Jiang Zhu raised his hand and hit Zhao Da on the head: "Idiot!"

  Zhao Da rubbed his painful head, not knowing why he was beaten.

  But there was no time to explain to him now. Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu hurried back to West Street with Yu Hu and Zhao Da.

After walking through Clay Figure Lane, I turned a corner and saw a large crowd of people gathered in front of their shop.

  Those people were wearing coarse cloth and carrying hammers and sticks in their hands, and they all looked fierce.

  The leader was a man in his fifties, not very tall, but a bit fierce-looking, with a scar on his forehead. He was talking condescendingly to someone with his hands behind his back.

  "Old lady, please mind your own business. You're already old. Who's to blame if you bump into me?"

  "Then tell them all to leave!"

  Granny Qian's voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Zhou Zaiqian, my shop hasn't even opened yet, and you bring people to smash it up, you have no conscience!"

  "Hey, you have wronged me, I haven't asked them to do it yet!"

  "Then what do you mean?" Granny Qian asked, "You brought so many people and blocked the whole street, how can we do business?!"

  "You two are the only ones on this street. How many people can come here all year round? It's still business. Qing Niang, take the old lady away quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

  Qing Niang: "You gathered together to make trouble. If you don't leave, I will report you to the police!"

  "Go, I heard that Magistrate Fang hasn't left yet. Go quickly and see if he will catch me!"

  Zhou Zaigan walked proudly and said to the thugs surrounding him: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Drag these two people away! I'll smash the shop!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the thugs with sticks pounced on him.

  "Everyone stop it!"

  Jiang Zhuduan shouted and rushed out with Ye Anian. The thugs made way for the two of them.

  "Hey, Brother Nian is willing to stand up." Zhou Zaiqian looked at the visitor with a half-smile.

  Ye Annian ignored him and turned around to see Granny Qian moving a stool and sitting in front of his shop, with Qing Niang standing guard beside her. Both of them looked calm, and they did not retreat at all in the face of so many vicious thugs. I couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in my heart.

  "Mother-in-law, you and Qing Niang should go back first, we are here." Ye Anyian said.

  Granny Qian did not get up: "These people are unreasonable. I am sitting here today. If any of them wants to do something, they must step on me first!"

  Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Ye Anyian had to ask Qing Niang to take care of Granny Qian while he talked with Zhou Zai.

  "The shop is rented by Wen Heng, and I also work for the Wen family. If you want to destroy the shop, you will touch the Wen family's things."

  "Come on!" Zhou Zaiqian was not that easy to fool, "Brother Nian, take a good look at the lease and what is written on it."

  "The Zhou family rents out shops and never allows tenants to move out! Wen Heng has rented a shop and doesn't do business, so he asks you to do it? That's not okay!"

  After he finished speaking, he took out his share of the lease and threw it to Ye Anyian.

  Ye Annian took it and looked through it from beginning to end, but couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

  Zhou Zaiqian laughed, turned to the back of the last page, pointed to the line of small words at the bottom and said, "Did you see it?!"

  This was clearly his method of deceiving people. Ye Anyian turned coldly: "How do you want to solve it?"

"Today, either you clear out everything in the shop yourself, or ask my people to help you! This shop is rented by Wen Heng, so let him open the door and start business."

  "If you want to open a shop, here..." Zhou Zaiqian raised his hand and pointed at the five empty rooms next to him, "I still have some here, you can rent the others yourself."
