Chapter 217: Big Purchase (3 more updates)

The men varied in age, with the older ones looking worn and forlorn. Upon hearing Xie Zhinuan's words, they all lifted their eyes to look at her.

Having been shuffled from one place to another, they were the most lowly of slaves, bought and sold, drained of all their utility, until at last, they were sold to this county. They never dared to dream that in the remainder of their lives they might find peace or that someone would treat them as human beings.

"Miss Xie, about these people..."

Xie Zhinuan nodded slightly, "I hear you all have culinary skills?"

Actually, not everyone should, and even if they did, it might not be very good.

However, she would need many hands for the tasks ahead. Having bought these people now, if she trained them well, they could be of great use in the future.

"Where do these people come from? Is there a route guide available?" Xie Zhinuan asked.

"We have it!" Lian immediately ordered someone to fetch it.
