The agent had recommended ten people, and she picked six out of them. All of them seemed like the right choice at that time.

Actually, it did not matter if they were wrong choices, either.

If they found that any of the maids were like how Liu Yan was in her initial stage, when she did not do any housework, Qiao Xuan would still not worry too much. She could just sell them and find better ones.

Qiao Xuan had already told them what they should do. She did not need to give them any lecture. She only summoned Taotao and Qi, who came to her side. “Your Fifth Brother will be heading into town today with me and we will buy some mutton. Let’s eat mutton kebabs tonight. How does that sound?”

Taotao and Qi’s eyes started sparkling. They nodded constantly.

“Yeah, okay, okay!’

“There is not much chili powder and pepper powder at home, we will grind some more today. By the way, grind some dried ginger powder, c.u.min, and cloves, too!”

Qiao Xuan smiled and said, “You lead Chunyu and Chunfen to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, and let them chop them into kebab sticks after cutting the bamboo. Each of them will cut twenty pieces. You take them there, tell them how to cut it, and let them do the rest.’

Qi and Taotao were a little confused. They were fast and they could do everything flexibly.

But since the Fifth Sister-in-law said so, then she might have a reason for it. So they nodded.

Then Qiao Xuan said to the six maids, “Heard that? Each person cuts 20 pieces, and holds the cut ones in hands, don’t confuse them with others. I will check them when I come back.”

The six maids nodded.

Qiao Xuan added. “Our family doesn’t have much housework, and my mother and sister-in-law do the work by themselves on weekdays. As for you, you just need to help. In this way, six of you will work in three shifts, two in one shift, and one shift a day to help with the work. Those who are not on duty can go back to the house to rest or do needlework. If there is something to do, whoever is called will go.”

The six maids nodded again.

It seemed like a proper arrangement. The six maids felt a.s.sured and did not think that it would be messy as before.

They were not the type who wanted to serve masters or madams in high-ranking families so that they could become excellent maids in the future. After Qiao Xuan bought them, they could tell what their new mistress and master were like, after living in the province as well as experiencing the trip on the way home.

They felt lucky that they had a great mistress who was neither stingy nor strict, nor throwing temper at her will, and who offered them much food and clothes generously.

Most importantly, though they did not dare to peep at the encounter between Auntie Mao and Qiao as well as Shao Yunduan, they heard everything clearly.

Their mistress and master were nice and treated them well but they were definitely not weak.

So, the maids respected and admired them, and they would not cause any trouble.

Even though they might have had some strange idea before, the idea was long gone.

Qi and Taotao led Chunyun and the maids to chop bamboo. After that, they were offered breakfast, before going to chop them further into pieces.

The brother and sister were drooling for the oily and tasty mutton kebabs.

With six more maids at home, the breakfast portion needed to increase.

Qiao Xuan said to Ms. Fang with a smile, “Mom, If you make steamed buns, porridge, and noodles at home, let them eat it. For daily cooking, let them cook two dishes and one soup. Fry two dishes but let the quant.i.ty be more than usual, and serve them in another bowl..
