These four people receive monthly wages, and also seasonal clothing.
The household staff are settled, leaving only the shopkeeper and accountant positions at Lian's to be filled.
Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing, the father and son, were very attentive and introduced several shopkeepers and accountants for Lian Manman's selection, all with relevant work experience and good reputations. Finally, Wu Lang and Lian Manman chose a shopkeeper named Chen Ping'an, who lives in a neighboring county. Chen Ping'an had previously worked as a shopkeeper in a restaurant in the county town, being upright and an excellent speaker. They also chose an accountant with the surname Feng.
The shopkeeper at Lian's receives a certain amount of monthly silver, additional festival gifts during three major festivals, annual leave, and end-of-year bonuses based on the shop's profits. The accountant receives similar, though slightly less than the shopkeeper.
