Gu Chengrui was very happy to see this.

You sc.u.mbag. Zhou Ying kicked Er Zhuang in a huff.

Afterward, s.h.i.+zhu returned to the carriage and poured the chicken soup and rice she had specially prepared for Er Zhuang.

When Er Zhuang smelled the chicken soup, he immediately rushed over and wagged his tail as he wolfed it down.

Just as they were about to enter the courtyard, Head Fangs son ran over and greeted them. Master, Mistress, its really you. I thought they were talking nonsense.

Didnt you go back to your hometown?

We didnt manage to. How is the manor now? Gu Chengrui asked.

Its going well. The new rice has been planted, and those melon seedlings and vegetables are also growing well.

Also, the cole and cabbage can be picked.

We cant sell the ones that are too small, so eat them for yourself.

Well start selling those vegetables that are ready in another half a month.

Understood. Ill go do my work then. After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Zhou Ying looked at Gu Chengrui and asked, What do you think of Xiao Fang? Can he be the head of the manor?

There is no problem with him managing the fields and accounts, but managing people is still a little too soon for him. If it wasnt for the support of Head Fang, Im afraid he wouldnt have been able to hold on.

In other words, there are people who are not convinced of him managing them?

Yes, its a young man called Lai Xi. Hes literate and knows how to do accounts. He has good relations.h.i.+ps with others and looks like he can handle things. The main point is that he knows some martial arts.

Martial arts? Where did he learn it?

He said that he learned it from his uncle. His uncle used to be the guard of the Gu Residence.

So, hes an old acquaintance. Call him over to test him.

You want to?

Do you still remember the two small shops I bought in South City? One is for Zhou Dong to start his snack shop, and the other is for us to run ourselves.

However, we had yet to find a suitable person to manage it. Perhaps Xi could give it a try.

What about the people from our hometown

Those from our hometown have a strong accent. Getting used to here will take at least a year and a half.

Besides, the restaurant needs a lot of people. Even if they came, it might not be enough.

Alright, lets do as you say. Ill bring you to him. Hes in charge of the vegetable fields near the greenhouse now. After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he brought her to the shed.

Although it was no longer needed, Gu Chengrui still planted a lot of vegetables there. It was mainly used to keep their firewood, as storing them in a large compound was much more convenient.

As soon as they left, Er Zhuang couldnt be bothered with his meal anymore. He immediately rushed out and followed them.

The two of them smiled and ignored him.

When they reached the place, Gu Chengrui called Lai Xi, who was setting up a cuc.u.mber rack.

When Lai Xi saw the two of them, he quickly bowed. Greetings, Master and Mistress.

No need to be so polite. We just want to talk to you. After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he went to where Chen He and the others were resting and sat down.

Oh. Lai Xi followed them nervously. After they sat down, he asked, May I know why you are looking for me?

I heard that you know how to keep accounts. Zhou Ying commented.

Yes, I can keep track of the daily accounts.

Zhou Ying quickly understood what he meant. The bookkeeping he was talking about was the most primitive bookkeeping method she had seen before.

To put it bluntly, he would just write down everything without any special format.

Do you have a ready-made account book? Let me see it.

Please wait a moment. I have to go home to get it. After saying that, Lai Xi turned around and ran away.

He returned a while later with a booklet covered with sweat. Mistress, please take a look. This is my familys account book..
