As for Xiaozhi, he would eat at home in the morning and evening, and only eat at the Academy or outside the Academy at noon. 400 wen a month was more than enough.
He was too young and she was worried that he would spend too much.
As for Qing’er, she had previously given him a monthly allowance of 2 taels of silver. However, he was sensible and might have to participate in the examination next year. It would not hurt to give him more.
Anyway, he wouldn’t spend it recklessly. There was a high chance that he would save it up.
Only the servants were left. Even if she was harsh and did not give them any money, no one would dare to say anything since she bought them.
However, she felt that it was unnecessary.
After all, the servants of wealthy families who sold themselves would also receive a monthly salary. It was just that the monthly salary was not that high. After all, they lived and ate in the owner’s house.
Anyway, she had money now, so there was no need for her to be so mean.
She was prepared to train them up.
Zhao Fu was surprised.
They were servants, but their monthly salary was actually higher than the Young Masters.
It was understandable.
After all, the Liu family had few people.
“Yes.” Zhao Fu replied, feeling quite happy.
When Old Master Zheng was around, other than Dabao, they all had monthly salaries.
However, ever since Old Master Zheng passed away, First Master and First Madam took charge of the family. The eldest Miss said that with the Old Master gone, the family’s income would be reduced, so they would not give out monthly salaries.
They had to buy the things that the master should have bought for the servants.
In the end, the little money saved by them was all gone.
After that, when their entire family was sold, the little money left was all taken away by First Madam.
The only belongings they had were the clothes that they were wearing.
Fortunately, the weather was not as hot these days. In addition, it had not been long since they left the Zheng family. Otherwise, they would not have been able to look as neat as they did to meet their new mistress.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhao Fu.
“You should go too.” She pretended not to see the smile on Zhao Fu’s face.
“Yes, Miss.” Only then did Zhao Fu leave.
After Zhao Fu left, Zhou Shi smiled and walked towards Lin Xiaoyue.
He grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s hand and led her to the backyard.
“Yue’er, I’m really impressed! You’ve used both kindness and toughness to control them.”
Zhou Shi pulled Lin Xiaoyue into the room and then sat down by the bed.
“Hehe, don’t flatter me.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to Zhou Shi.
“Did anyone from the Zhou Trading Company respond?” She looked at Zhou Shi nervously.
This was the most important thing.
Although she felt that she was confident about this matter. She was not 100% sure.
If the Zhou Trading Company didn’t intervene, Ruyi Restaurant wouldn’t be so easy to deal with.
She didn’t want to earn a few thousand taels of silver and hand over the chili and spicy cabbage recipes.
Madam Zhou looked at Lin Xiaoyue and smiled. “What do you think?” She looked like she was teasing Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue was anxious.
“Aiya, don’t tease me! Tell me!” Lin Xiaoyue felt her heart skip a beat.
“Of course it worked!” Zhou Shi smiled.
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted.
“Thank you!” Lin Xiaoyue gave her a bear hug. Zhou Shi was surprised.
Then, she quickly regained her senses and patted Lin Xiaoyue’s back with a smile.
She thought to himself, “she must have been worried about this all along.”
“Quickly tell me everything that happened after you returned to your mother’s house. I want to hear all the details.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled brightly.
“Sure.” Zhou Shi nodded.
She then told Lin Xiaoyue everything.
It turned out that after Lin Xiaoyue left the Hei residence, Zhou Shi took the spicy cabbage and asked the servants to ride the carriage back to the Zhou family.
Then, she told Old Master Zhou about the situation.
Old Master Zhou was very shocked after hearing this. After asking Zhou Shi, he tasted the spicy cabbage.
Then, after a moment of hesitation, he took her to see Third Master Zhou.
After that, Third Master Zhou also tried the spicy cabbage. He even asked the chef to stir-fry some shredded pork with the spicy cabbage.
After hearing about the details and tasting the spicy cabbage, Third Master Zhou immediately said that he would visit the Liu family in three days.
After that, Zhou Shi mentioned to Third Master Zhou that the Liu family wanted to buy some workers.
At this moment, Zhao Fu, who was standing beside Third Master Zhou, volunteered him and his family.
When Third Master Zhou heard that, he agreed in order to show his sincerity..
