Liu Huan checked the time and went to the classroom. The girls from yesterday were already seated inside. When they saw her come in, they all sat up straight and said, "Teacher Liu has arrived."

Liu Huan greeted everyone with a smile, "Good morning, everyone. Did you all understand what I taught you yesterday?"

Some of those who knew the material stood up and said, "Master, I've got it. I'll recite it for you."

The others were also eager to show off in front of Liu Huan.

It's clear that everyone was working hard, except for a few women dressed in very fancy clothes who couldn't even recite half of it, and started getting stuck at number five.

Liu Huan smiled and said, "As you all know, you are the first batch of trainees. There are many more waiting behind. I said yesterday that if I came to check today and half of you didn't know it, you didn't need to come. So please, those of you who can't recite it, go back. It seems you weren't here to learn sincerely."

The men froze, stood up, and looked at Liu Huan with disdain. "Who do you think you are? Do you know who we are?"

“That’s right. My cousin’s niece works as a steward in the princess’s mansion. Who do you think you are?”

“I may not be much, but I can still make this decision.”

Several guards entered, carrying knives: "Please come in."

Those few people reluctantly got up and left. When the others saw that those people were really asked to leave, they began to feel fortunate that they had carried them the night before.

Even if you can only memorize a dozen or so.

"I will definitely do what I say. Since we are learning before others, we must cherish it."

"I can tell you clearly now that I will be the one to evaluate everyone in the end. The top five people who do well in each training assessment can go directly to the designated shop to work. If you want this opportunity, you have to work hard."

Everyone was very excited and hoped to be in the top five.

One of the girls, who was about ten years old, had her eyes light up when she heard this. She was wearing tattered and patched clothes and had dark skin, but her big eyes were bright and dazzling.

"Okay, today I'll teach you how to go from twenty to fifty. It's actually very simple. The key is to find the pattern. You can use coins from home to memorize it."

The training lasts for one month, followed by an assessment.

The assessment covers memorizing numbers, addition and subtraction within ten, the quick learning methods taught by the various supervisors, as well as communication skills and etiquette.

Liu Huan served as the chief examiner, and those who tried to bribe him were eliminated.

In the end, the top five included a girl in her early teens and four women in their twenties or thirties.

"Alright, now that the assessment is over, those of you who came in fifth place and below, please leave. I'm sure it won't be difficult for you to find an easy job again."

The assessment for this matter even included a certificate. With this certificate and the princess's influence, anyone with the ability should be able to find a job.

Training others is costly and time-consuming, so we can only teach the simplest things first, which is enough for service-related jobs.

Liu Huan checked the names of the remaining five people one by one.

"Sun Xiaohua"

"This servant is here."

Liu Huan looked up and saw that it was a girl who looked to be about ten years old.

“There are no slaves here. You and I have an employment relationship. I pay you to do things, so you don’t need to call yourselves slaves.”

"Feng Niu"

"exist"

...

After confirming the list, Liu Huan said, "A newly opened restaurant is looking for waiters. If you're interested, you can sign a contract with me tomorrow and start working. But let me make this clear: working for me will require you to be out in the public eye."

"If you are willing to go, go to Chunhui Tower in the west of the city tomorrow. If you do not arrive by Chenshi (7-9 AM), it will be considered as a voluntary withdrawal."

All five people thanked them excitedly and left. Sun Xiaohua, who came in first, ran quickly into a dilapidated alley.

Seeing a hunched old woman carrying things in the distance, she quickly went forward and took the things from her.

"Grandmother, didn't I say I was coming?"

"Little Flower is back. How was your study today?"

Sun Xiaohua happily replied, "Grandma, I came in first place! I can go to work tomorrow, and then I'll have money to buy medicine for my little brother."

"That's great! You must do a good job and not lose this position."

“I know my grandmother, and I cherish her very much.”

Liu Huan returned in a carriage driven by Changbai. Su Wan greeted her with a smile and asked, "Master Liu is back?"

"Yes, Master Liu is hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Su Yi came out, glanced at her, and said, "Go wash your hands first, you can eat now."

"Stone got home pretty fast today, even before me."

Stop being silly and eat first.

When Guan Chang came home in the evening, after the family finished eating and were in the yard, he asked, "Huanhuan, how are your friends doing?"

"They should all be going tomorrow, no problem. I'll tell them the precautions when I get there tomorrow."

"Sure, the store will open in a few days, so we need to let them familiarize themselves with the process as soon as possible."

"OK"

Since the county started organizing the training courses, many people have been watching to see what kind of results they can achieve.

The scouts returned and reported that the person who taught them the script of the Western Regions scoffed, saying, "I studied for so long and still couldn't learn it. How could a bunch of women possibly learn it?"

Now that it's over, people are wondering if they'll be able to find jobs.

The next day, Liu Huan went to Chunhui Tower, where four people were already waiting outside.

"You're here so early?"

"If I can't sleep, I might as well not sleep."

Once the door was opened, she led everyone inside. The restaurant was very large, with three floors.

Liu Huan led them inside and began to explain the precautions, "This is my brother-in-law's restaurant, which will open in a few days. You must remember one thing: the kitchen is a no-go zone, and no one is allowed to go in."

"This is a contract, in triplicate. It needs to be filed with the government. If any clause in it is violated, compensation will be made according to the contract."

Liu Huan explained in detail, "If there are no problems, those who want to stay can sign."

The four men took their contracts and pressed their fingerprints on them without hesitation.

Liu Huan then guided them through the process, and after lunch, embroiderers came to their homes to take their measurements and make clothes.

"These past few days you've come here every day to familiarize yourselves with the process. If you have any problems, just ask Manager Guan, and he'll take care of them for you."

After giving them his instructions, he made a point of giving them other things before leaving.

The fifth person finally arrived a day later, but was driven out by the steward brought by Guan Chang.

"You can leave now. You didn't come that day. My master said he doesn't need someone who doesn't keep his word."

The woman cried and said, "I'm so sorry, there are too many things to do at home, so I thought I'd tidy up at home first. It's not open yet, so it won't affect anything if I come now."

The shopkeeper snorted coldly: "Do you think this is child's play, where you can come whenever you want?"

He then looked at the other people in the store and said, "You're all the same. If you have something to do, ask for leave. If you dare to skip work without permission, you're fired immediately."

"Yes, yes, I've got it."

The woman started throwing a tantrum, saying, "You promised that if we made it into the top five, we'd get jobs. What do you mean by that now?"

The shopkeeper, too lazy to say anything more, simply closed the door.

Only then did the others realize that, compared to these people, Master Liu was actually gentle.

So every day I carefully memorized the process and the names of the dishes in the store, and tasted the various dishes made in the kitchen.
