Zhou Ying looked at Miao Dazhi in surprise. Although she didn’t know why he rejected Miao Xiaoyu, she didn’t want to kill a child’s interest.
Therefore, she advised him, “Although there is a saying that you should love what you do, if you don’t have a strong passion for it, you will be a layman for the rest of your life and never reach the level of a master.
“However, if she’s really passionate about her career, she would wholeheartedly devote her life to research and creating something new. It would also give her a happier life.
“Taking the easiest example, cooking.
“If a person is passionate about cooking, even if she doesn’t have the talent, she would devote her entire being to learning it. She would also actively study and create new dishes.
“However, without a deep passion, she would just learn the bare minimum and not be interested in improving herself. No matter how talented she would be in that field, she would be average.
“Therefore, if a child wants to learn something, we should encourage them. Only after learning would the child know if it was suitable for them.
“If she can really learn well in the future, how about I make a flowerbed for her?”
Miao Dazhi pondered for a moment and looked at Miao Xiaoyu. “Are you sure you want to learn gardening? After you start, you can’t give up halfway.”
“I want to learn!” Miao Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up.
“Alright, from tomorrow onwards, you’ll follow me.” Miao Dazhi nodded.
“Alright, I’ll tell you all my requirements.” Zhou Ying smiled.
“I only have two requirements for you all. One is loyalty. There is only one outcome to betraying your master, and that is to live a life worse than death. “The second is diligence and neatness.
“I won’t punish those who slack off. I’ll only deduct your monthly salary. It’ll be 100 coppers per discovery, and there’s no limit to that.
“In other words, if this month’s salary isn’t enough to cover your deduction, your next month’s salary will be deducted until you get diligent.
“Butler Niu and Mother Qiu will keep an eye on everyone in the future.
“Of course, I’m not inhumane. If you’re really sick, you can take a sick leave and not get their monthly salary deducted for the day.”
“Yes, Mistress.” Niu Fugui and Mother Qiu replied at the same time.
“Alright, get to work. Niu Deli, come with me.”After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she led him to the main courtyard.
Niu Deli was surprised by her beckoning and followed Zhou Ying nervously.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Zhou Ying brought him directly to her study and took out an account book. “This is the account book I keep. Take a look and record our accounts in this format in the future. It’s also convenient for me to check the accounts.”
Niu Deli finally let out a sigh of relief. He was still afraid that Zhou Ying would have an opinion of him, but it turned out that she wanted to test him.
He took the account book and looked at it seriously. After a moment, his eyes lit up because Zhou Ying’s tabulated accounting method was simple and clear to understand.
Not only was it easy to remember, but it was also very convenient to calculate the final bill.
After studying carefully, he replied, “Mistress, I’ll remember this method. From today onwards, I will strictly follow your format.”
Zhou Ying nodded and took out some more account books. “These are all the accounts in the residence. Go back and study it and make a budget for next month.”
“I understand.”
“Yes, give me an answer in three days. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.
“Remember, you only have one chance. I hope you can seize it firmly.”
“Yes, I will do my best to finish my apprenticeship as soon as possible.” Niu Deli answered and picked up the account books, leaving quickly to study them.
After he left, Zhou Ying asked Shizhu to call Kuihua over. She told Kuihua, “Later, choose the same materials you are wearing and make two sets of spring clothes for each newcomer.
“In addition, Niu Lirong will be in charge of serving tea. As for Xiaxiang and Qiuxiang, you can make arrangements for their designation.
“I’ll leave this courtyard to you in the future. I hope you’ll take responsibility and don’t disappoint me..”
