Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist - Chapter 78

On the way back, Song Dashan held Li Mo’s arm with one hand, and put his arm around Li Mo’s waist with the other, carefully protecting it, as if Li Mo was a fragile porcelain doll.

Li Mo couldn’t laugh or cry, and patted Song Dashan’s arm to persuade him: “Dashan, don’t be like this, I’m just pregnant and not sick. I don’t need to be so careful.”

Song Dashan said: “Why don’t you need to be careful? The doctor can say, the fetus is unstable in the first three months, so be careful.”

Li Mo sighed and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to talk to Song Dashan. This person became this cautious look just after being excited in the medical hall. She has said that this is not necessary for several times, but he just doesn’t. listen.

Forget it, let him go.

When Li Mo and Song Dashan returned to the shop, sister-in-law Qin came up first and asked eagerly, “How is it? Isn’t it?”

Li Mo smiled and nodded.

Song Dashan grinned and said happily: “Sister Qin, Li Mo is pregnant and has a baby!”

Sister-in-law Qin was also happy, and she took Li Mo’s hand and nodded straight, “Okay, this is really good news, come in quickly, you didn’t eat anything just now, I will make you something delicious, you want to eat Why tell my sister-in-law, sister-in-law will do it for you.”

Song Dashan remembered that Li Mo had vomited everything in his stomach before, and followed Qin’s wife’s words and said, “Yes, yes, you have to eat something, lady, what do you want to eat?”

Li Mo was actually not hungry at all and didn’t want to eat very much, so he shook his head, “I’m not too hungry, I don’t want to eat anything now.”

Sister-in-law Qin disagreed, “That’s not okay, you don’t want to eat it. The kid in your stomach still wants to eat it. You must eat something. Sister-in-law knows that you may not have any appetite, so let’s go and make some sour noodle soup for you. , Pregnant women generally like to eat.”

Li Mo touched her abdomen, thinking that she really had to eat, and nodded, “Well, I’ll trouble my sister-in-law.”

Sister-in-law Qin waved her hand, “What’s the trouble? Go sit down and rest, I’ll be fine right away.” Then she went to the kitchen.

Song Dashan helped Li Mo into the room and sat down, “Would you like to sleep for a while?”

Li Mo shook her head. She couldn’t sleep in broad daylight.

Song Dashan did not reluctantly, just said: “Even if you don’t sleep, you have to take a good rest. Don’t go to the front for beauty treatment in the afternoon. Your body is important.” After thinking about it, he said: “It’s not today. You can’t be tired in the future. , You are two bodies now, don’t be like before.”

Li Mo thought of the previous business and pursed his lips.

The business in front is not busy every day, and the beauty can only be done by her alone. Although she can just sit and do her hands, it is tiring at the end of the day. Before, she could not take it seriously. Now that she has a child, she can no longer be as tired as before.

It seems that she has to reschedule.

The most important thing now is to hire more people.

There are only three people in the shop. It’s not easy at first. Everyone’s affairs are full, and there is no time to do other things. Now she is pregnant again, and the amount of labor will definitely be greatly reduced, Song Dashan Her current mind is also on her, so that the manpower in the store is absolutely insufficient.

Not only do she need to increase staff for other things, she also needs someone to take over her beauty and makeup work. Otherwise, when she has to take care of the children and can’t spare time, the business in this shop will not continue.

In fact, she had thought about the issue of bringing apprentices before, but there was no suitable candidate, and the second shop had just gotten on the right track. Everything was still in a semi-chaotic situation, and many things needed her to consider, and there was no time to mention it. On the agenda, until today, it is time to officially start to face this issue.

Li Mo has actually planned to train Sister Qin for makeup and beauty. The reason is that Sister Qin said that she would never marry again in this life. She only wants to raise the tiger, so she will not be burdened by the family in the future. She has been working with her all the time, and she doesn’t have to worry about the beauty staff leaving for other reasons; and sister-in-law Qin is very young, with very clever hands, very suitable for beauty.

Therefore, she only needs to recruit two more people to take over the previous job of Qin’s sister-in-law.

The problem is that these two people are not easy to find. What she needs is a woman, and a woman who can stay in the shop with all her heart. There are many people in this world, but very few meet her requirements. I was lucky to find a sister-in-law Qin before. It is rare and suitable, but where should we go to find two more suitable sister-in-law Qin?

Li Mo was in a headache.

“Dashan, is there a suitable person like Sister Qin in the village?” Even though he knew it was impossible, Li Mo asked.

Song Dashan knew that Li Mo was thinking about recruiting people, and he also agreed to recruit two more people in the store, so that Li Mo could relax a lot. However, he no longer knows a suitable candidate like Qin’s wife. After all, most women are inseparable from families and mouths. As for the town, he is not familiar, let alone find the right person.

Watching Song Dashan shook his head, Li Mo sighed and began to think carefully about where to find talent.

Song Dashan thought for a while and said, “Why don’t we post a recruitment notice to see if there is any suitable.”

Li Mo shook his head, feeling wrong. There must be someone to apply for the job posting, but her shop involves too many homemade secret recipes, such as balm and beauty products are all made by her. The staff in the shop will inevitably see their own production methods, so they are hiring. You need to be very careful about it. If you recruit someone with bad intentions, it’s easy to reveal her production methods.

And if there is no problem for the staff in the store, there is another way besides hiring someone like Sister Qin, and that is the method Li Mo refused before-buying people.

She didn’t want to buy people before, because she felt it was awkward to buy people as goods, so she found sister-in-law Qin from the village, but now she is not able to do it. Now she is pregnant and the shop is heavily staffed. Insufficiency, it is time to increase the manpower. Finding someone to buy someone and holding the deed is actually the safest way at present.

Although I am a bit uncomfortable, it can only be done so far.

Li Mo said to Song Dashan: “Dashan, it seems that we have to go to the Yahang to buy two people back.”

Song Dashan immediately understood Li Mo’s thoughts, thought about it, and nodded, “It’s true that you can’t find someone like Sister Qin, and you can only do that.”

Li Mo looked at the time. It was just not long after noon, and it was still too early, so I might as well take advantage of today to see if there is a suitable candidate, and settle down earlier and relax earlier.

So, under Li Mo’s soft and hard soaking, Song Dashan had to promise Li Mo to accompany her on a walk after eating the sour noodle soup.

There is only one tooth shop in the town, not too far from the shop.

When Li Mo and Song Dashan walked in, a man who looked like a steward immediately greeted him and asked with a smile, “Do you want to buy someone? What kind of one do you want to buy? We have them here. You must be satisfied. .”

Li Mo didn’t rush to speak, but glanced at the teeth at random.

Not far away, there was a steward who was taking a group of people in rags to the backyard. In the middle of the yard, there were several rows of people, both men and women, young and old. At this moment, a man was standing in front of them, as if I’m choosing. This should be the one who came to Jamaica to buy people.

After scanning, Li Mo replied to the person in charge next to him: “We really want to buy people, we want to find two women, able to work, and have a better hand and feet.”

The steward smiled and said: “The two will come with me. We have a lot of people here. You can pick it out.” The group of people who brought Li Mo and Song Dashan to the center asked them to choose.

The man who had just picked someone had already been selected, and went through the formalities with the steward, and the rest of them stood there and continued to be picked.

Li Mo ignored the faint discomfort in his heart, and carefully looked at the people in front of him.

The people in front of them are men, women and children. The youngest seems to be only five or six years old, and the oldest seems to be fifty or sixty years old. I don’t know how they got here.

However, Li Mo couldn’t help these people out of sympathy. She only had two women today, so all men were excluded.

Li Mo wants to find someone who sells snacks and tea in the leisure room, so she needs a woman who looks good-looking, articulate, and knows how to collect money. This condition screens out a large number of people, and only four are suitable. People.

The person in charge asked the four to stand in front.

Li Mo asked the manager about the origin of the four women.

The steward saw that Li Mo was not like a messenger. He was naturally attentive and gave Li Mo a detailed account of the origin of these four people.

“This is a girl from a big family in the city. She was sold by the wife of the house. It is said that it was because of hooking up with the master.” The steward pointed to the first woman who was about 20 years old and looked good.

This woman’s experience is similar to that of the original, because she was sold for hooking up with the male owner.

Li Mo took a closer look at the woman, she was indeed good-looking, she was of good figure, and she looked smart, but she didn’t plan to ask for it, because such a person was uneasy, so she didn’t dare to use it.

The steward pointed to the second, skinny woman and said: “This is because the family fled out of the flood in the hometown. If you can’t get on, you will sell yourself as a slave.”

Li Mo asked, “Are all the family selling as slaves here? Who are there?”

The steward replied: “Her husband and two sons are left in our teeth.”

The woman watched Li Mo and asked her. It is estimated that there will be a play. She immediately knelt down and begged Li Mo, “Madam, our family is very diligent. You can buy us. We can do any work. Please don’t let our family. People separate.”

Seeing that the woman begged again, she stepped forward and kicked, and said angrily: “I have said this many times, so I don’t want to say this again, don’t you listen!”

The woman was kicked to the ground, but she still got up and continued begging not to let her family be separated.

Li Mo estimated that this woman begged every buyer so much, and that was why she was never bought back.

However, Li Mo can understand her feelings about wanting to be with her family, but she cannot be such a good person. Because she wanted women, but three of the family members were men, but two of them were children. It was useless for her to buy them back.

Li Mo said apologetic in his heart, and said to the manager who still wanted to do something: “Don’t fight the manager. I’m eager to pick someone. Where is the third girl?”

The third is a little girl who is about twelve or thirteen years old, with disheveled hair, dirty and thin face, but her face is still beautiful, her eyes are dark, she turns from time to time, she looks like a smart girl, and she is The girl who has not been overwhelmed by life.

The steward watched Li Mo asked the girl, and didn’t care about the woman just now, and hurriedly said: “This is also because of the disaster in her hometown, and then she was sold by her family for money, but…” The steward said hesitated a bit. , But still hesitated and said, “But this girl was sold with her grandma, she also wants to be with her grandma, otherwise she wouldn’t want to leave.”

What the steward didn’t say was that someone had taken a fancy to this girl before, but the girl also begged others to buy her grandma together, but if they didn’t want to, she made a fuss and didn’t want to leave, so that they finally stopped buying. They beat this girl fiercely, and even got hungry for a few meals, but this girl is not afraid and will still ask for it next time.

Sure enough, in the next second, the girl scrambled to look at Li Mo with **** and white eyes: “Madam, can you buy my grandma together? We can all do a lot of work. She can’t stay here as an old man. , Please, ma’am.”

Li Mo did not speak for a while, but continued to look at the last person, a young woman, but those eyes did not have the hope of a young man.

The person in charge said: “This was sold to us by other people, and it was shipped from a long distance. Something happened when it was sold, and it finally came to us. We are not clear about the specifics.”

Li Mo nodded to express understanding.

After reading all four of them, Li Mo thought about it carefully in his heart, and had a decision in his heart, let’s just the third little girl.

Li Mo asked the manager carefully about the little girl. He knew that the girl’s hometown was far away and the family had left early. There was nothing to worry about here, and she became more satisfied. Finally, she asked the manager: “This girl’s grandma is Who? I want to see.”

Looking at things, Li Mo seemed interesting, his eyes brightened, and he immediately pulled an old woman out of the crowd and brought him to Li Mo, “Madam, this old woman is the girl’s grandmother.”

They didn’t want this old woman at the beginning, after all, who would want to buy this old woman would suffer. But the family didn’t seem to want to take the old woman to escape together, so they gave it to them for free without saying anything. They only charged the girl’s own money, so they didn’t want to suffer and brought it back together.

But this old woman is really not easy to sell. Many people are too lazy to ask, so that he is scolded by the boss. It would be great if he could be sold together this time.

Li Mo looked at the grandmother of the girl who was brought to her and found that she was not too old, she was probably only in her fifties, and her hair was only a little white. But it is not surprising that children are born early in this era. The grandmothers are actually not very old.

Li Mo asked the girl’s grandma: “Can you wash, cook, and clean?”

The old woman’s eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she nodded hurriedly: “Yes, I can do everything, washing, cooking, and taking children with me. I’m a good hand in everything.”

Li Mo was originally planning to buy two people. One would sell snacks and tea in the lounge to maintain the order of the lounge, and the other would be responsible for washing, cooking, cleaning, and cleaning. The latter, the old woman, could do it. Buying them together will save trouble.

So in the end, Li Mo spent fifty taels of silver to buy the girl and the old woman together, and brought them back to the shop.

Not only were their teeth happy, but the girl and the old woman were also extremely happy. They thanked Li Mo very much for letting their grandparents and grandchildren be together.
