Feng Shao Ling sat leisurely in the armchair, not even raising his eyelids. Speaking too much with these small families of Black River County seemed beneath him.
He waved his hand, and two stout tooth women rolled up their sleeves and began inspecting the "goods" one by one, mostly checking the mouth and teeth, and pinching the hands and feet to judge if there were any injuries.

The tooth women were trained to have sharp eyes, preventing the seller's family from lying, passing off laborers as maids skilled in feminine arts, thus raising the price.
