Leah was puzzled by Su Xiu's lack of understanding of her recruitment standards.
But since he asked, Leah naturally told him everything.
"I…"
Su Xiu resisted the urge to curse, and his forehead was filled with black lines.
He had told Bill yesterday not to get sick-
In other words, it was fine as long as it was not sick.
In the end, Bill directly changed it to recruiting a 'young and beautiful virgin'.
Was he recruiting a maid or a harem?
"Is there anything about me that you're not satisfied with?”
Leah saw that Su Xiu had not expressed his stance for a long time and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"There's no such thing."
Su Xiu shook his head helplessly. She was already here. He couldn't chase her away, right?
"As you can see."
Su Xiu sorted out his words and said," This house of mine is quite big, so I need some maids to clean it. If you really want to apply for the position of maid, I have no reason to refuse.”
"Then,"
Leah heaved a sigh of relief. She stood up from the sofa and bowed slightly." Guian, Master.”
"Don't be anxious."
Su Xiu shook his head and stopped her." I have something to tell you in advance."”
"What?"
Leah became a little nervous again, her fair fingers nervously pinching the corner of her skirt.
"Don't be nervous."
Su Xiu waved his hand and said," I just want to ask, what kind of salary and treatment can you accept?”
"Are you asking about this?"
Leah suddenly relaxed and continued," The weekly salary of an ordinary maid is nine shillings. However, due to your strict requirements, there might not be many maids applying for the job. So, in terms of weekly salary…"
Leah said nervously," I hope it's twenty…no, fifteen shillings. What do you think?”
"Twenty shillings?"
Su Xiu rubbed his chin.
A dairymaid's weekly wage these days was nine shillings.
A miner's weekly salary was 30 shillings.
A maid's weekly salary of nine shillings was considered normal.
As Su Xiu's conditions were too special, Leah's request for a raise was not too outrageous.
Oh, by the way-
The weekly salary of a new sailor who brought the British into the army was 12 shillings, and it would increase by one shilling every year.
The salary was less than half of a miner's, and the treatment was even worse than that of an ordinary maid.
"Fifteen shillings,"
Leah carefully corrected him.
Twenty shillings a week might be too much, so she was satisfied with only fifteen shillings.
After all, she had to give something up.
If the gentleman in front of him didn't agree, then, that ten shillings wasn't impossible.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Su Xiu waved his hand, but the girl's heart turned cold.
What did he mean by not going through so much trouble?
Would he not apply for her?
"Twenty shillings a week, it'll be easier.”
Su Xiu casually said, but it made the girl's heart, which had been half cold, regain a trace of hope.
Thank you for your generosity, Master."
Leah was extremely excited and looked at Su Xiu with gratitude.
To Su Xiu, 20 shillings a week was just a pound, nothing at all.
Bill's injection cost a thousand pounds, enough to hire Leah for twenty years.
Twenty years was enough to buy off the most beautiful years of a young girl.
"Don't thank me yet."
Su Xiu reached out to stop her and said seriously," Twenty shillings a week is not for nothing. As you can see, you are the only maid in this house for the time being. Therefore, your workload may be twice or even three times that of others.”
"Of course, Master."
Leah said without hesitation," This is what a maid should do.”
It didn't matter if it was tiring, as long as the salary was high enough.
" Then, one last question."
Su Xiu looked at the girl with interest." Leah, are you or your parents descendants of nobles?”
The reason why he asked this question.
It was because the young girl clearly had a good upbringing.
Whether it was taking a seat or saluting, every action showed the attitude of a noble.
“……”
Leah's eyes suddenly dimmed as she whispered," No, Master. I'm just the daughter of an ordinary farmer.”
"I see."
Su Xiu nodded in understanding and did not continue to ask. He changed the topic and said," This is also my first time hiring a maid. If you have any other requests, you can raise them."”
"I didn't ask for it, Master."
Leah shook her head gently and said," But according to tradition, you need to provide us with two sets of maid outfits to change into. At the same time, you will also be responsible for your accommodation.”
"No problem."
Su Xiu thought for a moment and said casually," As for accommodation, you can just pick a room on the first floor. I haven't prepared clothes and bedding for the time being. You can take a look at what's missing here. I'll give you money later to buy it.”
"As for eating."
Su Xiu thought for a moment and slowly said," Because there's no chef for the time being, so..."
"No problem."
Leah immediately said," I can be the cook.”
Leah's voice became softer as she spoke." It's just that the food I make might not satisfy you, Master.”
"No."
Su Xiu shook his head." I mean, if you want to eat, go to the restaurant opposite.”
"Eh? Opposite?"
Leah recalled the street she came from and hesitated." I remember that it was a high-end French restaurant…"
She had never eaten French cuisine before, but high-end restaurants were usually very expensive.
Her weekly salary was not even enough for the simplest meal there.
"No, it's not expensive."
Su Xiu looked at the obedient silver-haired girl beside him and deliberately said in a teasing tone," Alina, I think Frank should be very happy to provide us with three free meals, right?”
"Of course."
Alina stuck out her tongue." Father won't refuse.”
It was just three meals a day, not worth much.
Compared to Su Xiu's treatment fee for Alina, it was not even worth mentioning.
"Eh?"
Leah hesitated.
According to the owner, the silver-haired girl in front of him seemed to be the daughter of the restaurant owner?
But if that was the case, why was she here?
"Ding!"
At this moment, the doorbell rang again.
"Master, I'll open the door."
Leah quickly got into character. She bowed and immediately walked towards the door.
When she opened the door, a large group of people appeared at the door, giving the girl a fright.
"Um, who are you looking for?"
Leah nervously half-closed the door, ready to close it at any moment.
"Who are you?"
A middle-aged man with a big belly also looked at the girl in shock.
He remembered that Su Xiu had come to London alone.
"Oh!"
The middle-aged man suddenly understood." You're Su Xiu's new maid, right?”
"Leah."
Su Xiu, who was in the room, heard the voice outside the door and immediately said," He's my friend. Let them in."”
Su Xiu raised his eyebrows. Look, isn't the money giver here?
