If it wasn’t for the fact that he and his son had bookkeeping experience, and the Zhou Trading Company wanted to sell them at a high price, the entire family would have been sold off.

This time, they were sent to Nan’an County, and the Zhou Trading Company planned to get rid of them.

If no one bought them, it would be useless no matter how much he begged.

Therefore, they had to satisfy the young lady in front of them so that she would buy them.

This was the only way for their family to stay together in Qings.h.i.+ Town.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for doctors to examine them and their families. They haven’t contracted the disease.” Third Master Zhou said.

After all, the slaves were also the a.s.sets of the Zhou Trading Company. If they brought infected slaves, it would also be a loss for the trading company, right?

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Then, let’s do a test. If you have skills, then you can stay.” She said.

The father-son duo’s faces lit up as they hurriedly bowed to Lin Xiaoyue and thanked her.

Lin Xiaoyue then asked Zhao Fu to bring a pen, paper, and an abacus.

Then, she asked Manger Liang to help come up with the questions.

The two of them smiled and agreed.

Soon, paper and pen arrived.

Manager Liang and Old Master Zhou gave them questions.

After answering the questions, the two of them even tested the three of them on their abacus skills.

Judging from the speed of the abacus calculation, the father and son performed well.

After that, Lin Xiaoyue asked Manager Liang and Old Master Zhou to help check the answers.

As expected, the father and son answered better.

The third accountant knew that he had lost.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was about to announce the results, his heart was on tenterhooks.

“Not bad. Ge Long is first, Ge Lu is second, and Luo Song is third.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

The father and son heaved a sigh of relief.

Luo Song’s face was pale.

He knew that they were in a difficult situation, but wasn’t he as well? He didn’t want to be split up with his family!

Thinking that the Liu family needed more than two accountants, Luo Song quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and waited for the final result.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at their expressions and was satisfied with their performance.

The father and son weren’t smug even when they did well.

And Luo Song did not lose his composure in front of her because of his poor performance.

“The manor is currently in need of manpower, so you can all stay.” Lin Xiaoyue finally said.

The three of them were surprised.

Then, they looked ecstatic and quickly thanked Lin Xiaoyue.

“Thank you, Miss!” Then, they all knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

If they stayed, they wouldn’t have to be separated from their families!

Lin Xiaoyue asked them to get up.

“The responsibility of the accountant is very important. I arranged for you to manage the accounts in the manor so that you can supervise the accounts on my behalf.”

“Loyalty is my first requirement for you. As long as you have bookkeeping skills, it will be fine. But as my accountant, ability is only one aspect. What I value more is loyalty.”

The three of them trembled.

“We will never resell our servants. There will be punishments for those who disobey the rules.” Lin Xiaoyue said in a deep voice.

The danger in her tone made the three of them not even dare to breathe loudly.

Once they became slaves, their lives would be in the hands of their masters. How could they betray her?

“Yes, Miss!” The three of them quickly replied.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

Then, she told them which manor they were going to.

After that, she asked Zhao Fu to take them away.

Then, the dishes were served in the main hall.

Lin Xiaoyue invited everyone to take their seats.

At the dining table, Old Master Zhou and the others finally ate the braised meat.

Old Master Zhou ate heartily.

After Third Master Zhou and Manager Liang ate the braised meat, their eyes lit up and they continued eating.

“With chili and braised pork, it’s even more delicious.” After eating two more pieces of braised meat, Old Master Zhou could not help but say.

“It’s indeed delicious! I’ve never eaten such meat before!” Third Master Zhou added.

“It tastes so good. How did you make them?” Manger Liang also felt that he couldn’t stop eating.

If Ruyi Restaurant served such a dish, their business would definitely improve.

“Are you interested in doing this braised meat business? How about working with Ruyi Restaurant? Or, you can sell the recipe to us.”

Third Master Zhou and Old Master Zhou looked at Manager Liang.

That’s right. If the braised meat was served in Ruyi Restaurant, it would definitely be sold for a lot of money..
