"What tomorrow? I want it now!"

Several male customers were dissatisfied. It was a rare opportunity for them to eat something different and delicious, but it was gone before they could even take two bites. They were so angry.

"Sir, we really don't have any today. How about this? You can make a reservation. After you make a reservation, I'll reserve it for you tomorrow. How about that?"

This is a good idea. If you make a reservation, you can be sure that it will be available tomorrow.

As soon as Xiaofu finished saying this, dozens of people made reservations, some of which were reserved for their families to eat together.

Some people thought they were clever, thinking that if the Tea House was gone, there was another one in Wenzhu County. They could just go buy it there, and at least they could still eat it today.

Unfortunately, when I went to another store, it was sold out. Delicious food is naturally in great demand.

Lin Ting thought that his price was too high and was afraid that it would not sell, but now he doesn’t have to worry about this problem at all.

If someone plants it in large quantities next year, it won't be able to be sold at this price, so now is the time for her to make money, and she should make it well.

After observing the Tea House, she turned and left, feeling at ease only after finishing all the things she had planned for the day.

She first went to the human tooth market to buy some skilled people to watch over the farm and do the work for her.

Originally, she wanted to hire some people, but her house had been robbed before, and the governance of this era did not reach her ideal level, so she decided to buy a few people back home.

As long as she has the indenture, she is hers.

She did what she said and drove her carriage directly to the human tooth market. She had been here before. The girls in Huayan's shop were the ones she and Su Nuannuan came here to buy teeth from.

As soon as the human trafficker saw Lin Ting coming over, he immediately turned around and came forward to greet him.

"Oh, isn't this Madam Lin? Are you here to buy a maid or a servant? I have a batch of newly arrived goods, all of them are very pretty."

Lin Ting bought more than a dozen girls last time, but he was a big client of the human traffickers. This time Lin Ting came again, and she was so excited.

Nowadays, not every family can buy someone home every day, but there are people who come every day to sell their children.

"Do you have any strong men here who are skilled and in good health?"

When the human trafficker heard this, he was so happy that he clapped his hands holding the handkerchief.

"Oh, Madam Lin, isn't this a coincidence? I just received a batch of goods yesterday. They are from other places. I heard that a wealthy family got into trouble and all the servants were sold."

Generally, wealthy families would sell their servants to faraway places, where it would be best if no one knew them and they didn’t want others to gossip about them.

Lin Ting was not surprised at all that Wenzhu County could receive these prisoners.

"Let's go take a look first!"

"Mrs. Lin, come with me."

The people in the human tooth market were like commodities, locked in cages, all of them unkempt and dirty.

Whenever someone comes, they will walk to the edge of the cage, like commodities, hoping to be bought and live in another place.

Although Lin Ting couldn't bear it, she had to do her best.

"Mrs. Lin, they are just in front. Look at those men. They used to be guards. They all have some skills."

Lin Ting looked over and saw a large cage filled with more than a dozen young men, each of them tall and mighty.

There was also an old man in his forties or fifties, who was calm and composed. Compared with these young men, he was the most conspicuous one.

"They all look bad, why is there a skinny old man here?"

These people eat worse than dogs in the human tooth market, and they all look terrible.

"Don't worry, Madam Lin. I wouldn't lie to you about this kind of thing. Just sit here and watch. I'll let these people show you their skills, and then you'll know."

The human trafficker brought a stool for Lin Ting to sit on, and then several people surrounded the cage, each holding a stick in their hands.

In this situation, if people inside don't obey, they will be beaten or starved.

"You guys, show us your best skills, or I'll make you pay."

The people here cannot eat their fill. The human traffickers understand one thing: when people are full, they will have a lot of thoughts on their mind, but if they are not full, the only thing they think about is eating.

The people in the cage also knew that even if they escaped, they would not be able to find work as slaves. It would be better for them to be bought back and do hard labor. At least they could breathe the good air outside and have something to eat.

There were twelve people in total, and each of them showed off their skills. Compared with his own Sanda skills, Lin Ting might not be able to defeat these people.

When there were still two people, Lin Ting heard a little girl behind her calling her in a low voice.

"Madam, madam..."

Lin Ting turned around and saw a sick old woman and two children locked in a cage behind her.

The boy looked about ten years old, and the girl behind him was only three years old. Their facial features were good, but they were all dirty and smelly.

"Madam, my grandfather doesn't know martial arts, but he can do accounting. He used to be the chief steward, so he's not completely clueless..."

Lin Ting nodded to the girl, and then waited for the guards to finish their presentation before turning to the old man.

The old man stood there with his head down, not moving a muscle.

Lin Ting looked at the human trafficker, and the human trafficker was also looking at her. If this old man stayed here for too long, he might die of illness, and she would be at a loss.

If this old man had not been included as an accessory when bribing these guards, she would not have spent money to buy him back.

"Move, gesture twice, hurry up..."

The human trafficker urged the person inside, but the person inside looked at the cage behind Lin Ting and didn't move.

Lin Ting's eyes did not move, and she turned her head slightly to look behind her. She probably understood that the man who used to be the housekeeper was worried about his family.

After all, a woman behind Lin Ting fainted, and she might be sick.

The person inside still didn't move, and his eyes were empty, as if there was no hope.

The human traffickers came in, raised their sticks and were about to hit him, but the little girl behind Lin Ting grabbed the corner of her clothes, her eyes full of pleading.

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Ting stood up, walked to the side of the cage and said, "Stop hitting me. If you hurt me, I'll have to treat it."

Upon hearing this, the human trafficker burst into laughter and waved his hand to call the person out.

"Mrs. Lin, I knew you were a connoisseur. I won't cheat you. These guards are thirty taels of silver each. As for the old one, I'll give him a cheaper price of twenty-five taels. What do you think?"

Lin Ting had bought a girl last time, and this price was indeed the market price.

Lin Ting glanced at the person in the cage. It seemed that he didn't really want to go with him.

Lin Ting negotiated a price with the human trafficker. She asked him to wait for a while and walked into the cage and stood in front of the old man.

The old man just looked at her, then knelt down on his knees in front of her, his tone full of pleading.

"Madam, please take my two grandchildren away. I just want to stay here with my wife. I am old and useless."
