etent doctor this time!At this point, Li Yuanchun stopped struggling. Fang Jinshu took out the silver needle. To make sure Li Yuanchun was in a good state and could share her sensations, she asked Li'...Upon arriving at the venue, a number of young servants were waiting outside the main gate of the manor to greet the guests.

Regular customers came in with ease, no need for servants as they waved them away. For new customers, it was still better to have someone guide and explain things.

When Fang Jinshui and her group arrived, a little servant smiled and introduced himself.

"Welcome, honored guests. My name is He Si, a servant assigned by the manor to welcome you."

"Would any of you esteemed guests require me to guide you"

Fang Jinshi and Zong Yu looked at each other, though they didn't speak, they both nodded in understanding.

They only knew about the Recruitment Ceremony through hearsay, having no idea what it was really like. It would be helpful to have someone familiar with the place lead them and explain things.

"Then I'll trouble you, young man."

Fang Jinshu strode forward and was very generous, giving the servant a silver ingot weighing five taels.

Although the guests at the manor were all wealthy, no one had ever been so generous to the little errand boy who led them around. The errand boy, who had been leading guests around for years, was stunned.

When she came to her senses, the smile on her face was radiant, and her service attitude skyrocketed, becoming much more enthusiastic than before.

"My guest, please be seated. Which one of you would like to begin"

Silver still held immense power. After entering the manor, He Si continuously introduced them to various rules and regulations within the manor. As they passed by any location, he provided a detailed explanation, leaving nothing for Fang Jinshu to inquire about.

Those who came to our mountain villa to participate in the grand gathering of talents can generally be divided into three categories. The first category is buyers, and the second category is sellers.

But there are also big differences between sellers and sellers.

"Some vendors specialize in this trade. They have many slaves on hand, allowing customers to choose based on different qualities, of course, the price varies as well. The higher the quality of the slave, the more they can do and the more valuable they become."

"Looks too."

"There are also some people who are both sellers and commodities, coming to the Grand Recruitment Assembly to set up stalls and sell themselves."

"Distinguished guests, please be aware that these street vendors' contracts are not binding for life. They have a limited duration and cannot be transferred."

"That is to say, if you buy them back and don't want them anymore, you can only wait until the deadline is up and let him go free, so choose carefully."

These people usually possess some unique skills. Ordinary people are not qualified to set up stalls.

Yu Lian was very curious.

"Since these people are all free individuals with unique skills, they shouldn't have a shortage of work outside. Why would they come to the Recruitment Fair and sell themselves"

The little servant smiled and replied, "Of course it's for the silver."

These street vendors’ prices aren’t cheap. Selling a few years of their freedom can bring in a large sum of money, faster and simpler than looking for odd jobs outside.

Yu Lian asked again, “What specific skills will they have”

This question stumped the little maid, she helplessly replied.

"There are many vendors at the booths inside this convention. Just have a look around yourself and you'll know."

Yu Lian just nodded, it seemed that there were still many interesting things to see at this grand gathering. However, the feeling of people being treated as commodities for sale made her feel uncomfortable.

While the two were talking, Fang Jinshi kept looking around the manor. There were a few rows of houses and pavilions halfway up the mountain in the distance. She pointed at them and asked.

Where is it What place is it

The maidservant turned her head and replied.

"Oh, that's the guest room."

"Guest room"

"Yes, the open time of the Recruitment Meeting for Talents is three days in total. Many people came here to attend it. The manor naturally provides guest rooms for all distinguished guests."

"However, staying in the guest rooms costs money, but if you buy over five slaves, you can stay for free."

This villa is on the other side of Kyoto city. It took nearly half a day to get here by carriage from the Jinxiu Villa. If you have to come and go on the same day, it would be quite rushed.

Since the grand event would last for three days, they were not in a hurry to go back.

"Distinguished guests, there's no need to rush your check-in. Why not take a stroll through the exhibition hall first and see if any slaves catch your fancy If you purchase five, you won't have to pay for your accommodations."

Fang Jinshi nodded.

Okay, then let's go for a walk first.

This talent recruitment event was much more lively than they had imagined. The venue was set up like a large market, though the main commodity was people. With so many visitors all at once, there was naturally a need for food and drink.

Therefore, there are also stalls selling food and drinks at the venue. It's lunchtime now, and there are still quite a few people eating inside.

Yu Lian touched her stomach, "Sister-in-law, we walked for a morning, you must be hungry too. Why don't we have something to eat first and then go shopping"

Fang Jinshu nodded in agreement.

"Alright, we'll have some food to build up our energy before we start exploring. Let's eat first."

Although she had ready-made food in her space to fill her stomach, it was inconvenient to take it out here. If people saw her pull out a bunch of food and drink out of thin air, she would probably be caught as a monster.

And if they stayed like that, not eating or drinking, people would find it strange too.

In order not to attract attention, Fang Jinshu led Yulian into the small restaurant introduced by the maidservant.

Here the environment is a little better than the stalls outside, it looks cleaner in terms of hygiene. When the servant boy entered, he greeted the shopkeeper here familiarly.

He probably gets a commission for bringing customers here to eat.

The maidservant saw that the Fang Jinxiu was staring at him, she blushed and nervously scratched her head.

“Seeing that several distinguished guests are dressed so finely and generous in their spending, I wouldn't take you to those dirty and run-down eateries.”

Although the prices here are a bit higher, the cleanliness and sanitation service is also good.

"Little things, just enough to make a living."

Yulian only reacted after hearing the maidservant's words, "Oh! You actually brought us here to earn another introduction fee, right!"

"You dishonest thing."

The little servant, upon hearing this, immediately became flustered. "No no no, I haven't been dishonest! If esteemed guests are unsatisfied with this place, you can always look elsewhere and choose a different eatery to dine at."

Fang Jinshi grabbed Yulian's hand.

"Forget it, he didn't trick us."

"Those few shops around here are too dirty. I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to eat anything there."

That's it.

They're not short of money for food anyway.

"Well, you should thank my sister-in-law for her kindness, or else this lady would take you out and make you look good!"

These servants, under the banner of serving guests, have made an unknown amount of silver from who knows where. If left unchecked, what pits await them in the future

Fang Jinshu whispered to Yulian, "Don't be angry. My brother and I guessed that Yuan Xiang's people might also come here to buy and sell manpower. So it's best not to draw too much attention to ourselves. It's better to have one less thing than one more."

Yu Lian heard her sister-in-law's explanation and stopped.

"Fine, I won't hold a grudge against him."

"Let me see what goodies there are here."

She got up to look at the menu. Fang Jinshu waved her hand at the maidservant, who hurried to the side and waited.

After looking over the menu, Yu Lian returned with a dark face and sat down angrily.

"Sister-in-law, this is a black shop!"

"Do you know how much a dish of stir-fried greens costs here"

Fāng Jǐnxiù raised an eyebrow. "How much"

"Thirty coins per plate! It's even more expensive than a roasted chicken, it's simply outrageous.
