Jiang Jiao frowned and asked, "Why? These two are tall and strong, the most powerful among this group. Moreover, they have no families to hold them back, which makes them quite good."
Gu Jinli lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Jiang Er, we fled the famine together and saw some who were desperately hungry and had consumed red meat. These two have eaten red meat, and keeping them will bring disaster to the Soybean Oil Workshop."
In Great Chu, consuming the flesh of children in times of dire hunger is referred to as eating red meat.
"What? These two have eaten red meat." Jiang Jiao was shocked.
When buying workers, he had paid attention, never daring to buy any famine victims whose eyes were too red or whose faces were too red. But these two seemed to have a normal complexion. How could they have eaten red meat?
Gu Jinli asked, "Uncle Jiang Er, how many people did you buy this time?"
To start the Soybean Oil Workshop, he would definitely need more than just twenty-some people.
