Chapter 282: A Thorny Problem

Judging from the books, there is a lot of money in and out, accounting for almost half of the year's benefits, but the destination is extremely vague.

There was even a line of instructions on the side of the account book that I couldn't even read.

I couldn't figure it out, put down the account book, looked at the couch where he was lying down, and saw that he was sleeping soundly, and I was really embarrassed to disturb him.

Tianfang told me that he hasn't been able to rest well since he arrived in the national capital, and it's rare that he sleeps soundly here, and I don't want to wake him up.

With a large amount of accounts unaccounted for, at least for now, I can't account for this booklet.

I felt a little tricky, looked down at the accounts and thought about it for a while, but decided to move this account separately first.

When the rest is done, maybe my brother will wake up too, and I'll have to ask him about it then.

The entry and exit of the silver money of the Meixian Pavilion for a year is in front of me, no matter how easy and smooth the way I think they make money, the entry and exit of medicinal materials is not a small amount, which is enough to arouse people's vigilance!

Several thoughts passed through my mind, and I couldn't help but wonder if the reason for the departure of the bookkeeper who had returned to his hometown had something to do with this?

Once my thoughts got to that point, the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

But the problem that I can see, can't the master behind the Meixian Pavilion see it?

He couldn't even see that he could be in charge of such a big store, how could it be!

Could it be that he inherited the ancestral business, even if he is a mediocre talent who does not know how to operate, he will inherit it naturally?

I vetoed this possibility, as the accounts given to me were recent. If he doesn't know how to operate, he can't do it well.

A person's success is definitely not just an ingredient of luck. It is also inseparable from his own efforts.

Meixian Pavilion is operating well, especially when it comes to medicine, you must know that medicine is a project related to people's livelihood in addition to food, where can ordinary people operate?

I feel that this matter can be big or small, because it involves accounts, and if the senior brother is not clear, he still has to ask his friend, the biggest master of the Meixian Pavilion!

My brother and I don't have the right to decide. All you can do is remind people.

I believe that the depth of the water behind it is not something that I, a passer-by in the capital of Sealand, can see and understand!

Removing the most difficult problems, the rest is not a difficult calculation. In addition to the fact that some of the account books mentioned to me by Kai Tianfang have already been calculated, my concentration process has also made my accounting faster.

About two hours later, I had read most of the account books I was holding.

Turning his head to look at the couch resting in the corner of the room, Tianfang had already opened his eyes and looked at me motionlessly.

He watched intently. There was something in my eyes that I didn't understand and didn't want to understand.

"Senior brother!" I fixed my mind and called out to him. "When did you wake up and why didn't you tell me?"

A smile flashed in Tianfang's eyes and said, "I see that you are so attentive and serious, I'm sorry to disturb." ”

How did he steal my words?

I looked at him speechlessly, and lowered my head to stack the accounting books neatly, except for the one that had problems and put it aside alone.

I'm going not to talk to him about it just yet. "Senior brother, I want to go down and take a walk, and even now, I'm dizzy."

His gaze swept over Tianfang's face. I whispered, "Senior brother, you are waiting for me here. I'll tell you about the pharma when I get back. "Finished with all the accounts?" Tianfang asked me, and I nodded, "I'm almost done." “

Tianfang waved his hand at me and said, "Xiao Ling'er, remember not to go out and run around, come back early." “

I walked to the door and glanced at him: "It's getting dark, where can I run!" ”

"Besides, I won't leave this place, just walk in the courtyard below."

I closed the door and walked in the direction of the stairs, and I was startled by the fact that someone flashed out of some corner in the middle of the road!

"I'm sorry, but what do you need? I'm the steward here. ”

With a hint of apology in his eyes, he arched his hand at me.

Charge? I looked up at him, a middle-aged man about the same age as the shopkeeper of the winery, and an ordinary face.

It should be the steward of Meixian Pavilion, I secretly speculated.

"You've come just in time!" I suddenly remembered what the maid I had sent away had said to me, and I took advantage of this opportunity to send the other party to the door, just in time to ask.

"Did you arrange for someone to wait outside the door or something?" I stared at him and asked, "I can't hide the slightest movement from you in my room, what are you going to do?" ”

There was a hint of displeasure in my tone, and I looked at him and frowned.

"You misunderstood, this is all what the boss meant," Guan was stunned by my questioning in advance, and then said earnestly to my gaze, "We want to pay attention to your movements here, and we must arrange anything in time." ”

"If you say that, I have to thank that one? Is it your pavilion master? I asked.

The head of the steward should be the one who can be the master of the house, I am a newcomer to Meixian Pavilion, and I don't know how they set up high and low positions.

The steward standing in front of me was stunned when he heard this, then thought about it and said with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Sort of! ”

His answer sounded a little weird.

Although I was a little surprised, I didn't think much about it, and then asked him, "Your pavilion master is light and doesn't see anyone, right?" He has a good relationship with my brother? ”

I just want to take care of things, I'm worried that there is a problem with the accounts just now, at least I have to inquire about the relationship between the other party and Tianfang to think about what to do.

I hope I have a bottom in my heart and don't fall into a situation where I am too passive.

In case they get into trouble because of this, I can take the blame.

The steward looked at me with wide eyes, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "The relationship is very good." ”

I said in my heart that it was good, no wonder I asked the sky before accounting. He packed the ticket and told me that if he made a mistake, it would be his!

It turned out to be an excellent friendship, and I suddenly felt a lot less pressure on my shoulders.

My mood changed, and I suddenly felt a little hungry. The food in the wine shop was greasy and greasy, and I couldn't raise my appetite, and when I walked back and was busy for half a day, I felt even more hungry.

I glanced at the steward embarrassedly and said in a slow tone, "Where's the kitchen?" I want to check it out. ”

The steward asked, "What do you want to eat, I'll tell the cook to do it right away." ”

"No, no, you're busy, I just want to see for myself."

It's getting dark. Cooks have to rest, don't they?! I sent the steward away and stayed in the courtyard for a short time.

The front yard and the back yard of the Maisen Pavilion are separated not only by a high wall, but also by a forest. That's why the movement in front of me is blocked, and it will never affect the cleanliness of the backyard.

I looked up at the night sky, and at this hour, the festivities by the lake must have dispersed. Those who were involved also returned to the palace. The next focus is on tomorrow's expedition to the Northlands.

I'm afraid that people in many places in the palace won't be able to sleep well tonight, just packing up and making arrangements before leaving is enough for them to be busy!

The palace has always been like that, the busiest people are the people at the bottom, and the serious masters of the eight hundred only need to move their mouths, and they are very idle.

I sat quietly on the stone steps of the garden for a while, then got up and dusted myself off and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

Before I entered the kitchen door, I smelled the aroma coming from the house.

I glanced in slightly surprised. No one seems to be there.

I walked in and saw the table in the center. The table was full of dishes, and there were nine dishes in total.

After a closer look, I approached the table and looked again, and it was clear that no one had touched the dish!

I stared at the dishes on the table in confusion and noticed that something seemed wrong in the room!

As soon as the wind swept away, there was a slight snoring sound coming from the stove.

As I walked over, I found one of the attendants asleep against the foot of the wall by the stove.

Before I could call him, the man woke up, and he opened his eyes and woke up.

He looked at me sleepily, and quickly rubbed his eyes and said, "Aren't you the one who came with Gongzi, the little junior sister of Gongzi?" I met you in the morning. “

The attendant was so nervous that he stuttered a little when he spoke.

I looked at him with some amusement and said, "Yes, I am." "Why are you asleep here?" Are you from Meixian Pavilion? Always working as an errand boy in the backyard kitchen? “

He stood up and saluted me.

After a brief inquiry, I pointed to the table and asked him, "How can there be a table of untouched dishes on the table, who left it?" ”

"Since I don't eat or clean up, I just leave it there, it's really strange to look at."

The attendant looked at me and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's all made by the son, and I was busy for a long time and received the news and said that I went out." "The dishes made by Childe are put there, how dare we take them casually," the waiter smiled bitterly, "Besides, no one dares to eat it, so we have to leave it alone." ”

I looked at him with wide eyes, and suddenly remembered a scene on the street.

Tianfang suddenly appeared, and the appearance of the attendant who accompanied me out was spitting, and my heart suddenly became clear.

After a moment of silence, I whispered, "Do you sleep in the kitchen at night?" “

The attendant smiled: "What's the matter, but the rice is still warm on the stove, I took care of it before, and no one came when I waited." ”

He lowered his head and blushed and said, "Later, I was too sleepy, and it was warm next to the stove, so I accidentally fell asleep." “

"What do you tell me to do?" The squire scratched his scalp and looked at me. "No, you go down first, it's dark and it's time to rest."

The attendant thanked me, turned and ran away.

I retreated to the table and sat down silently, staring intently at the dishes on the table

The steward hurried back to the side room next to the garden, and saw his partner drinking tea slowly, stepped forward to grab his teacup and said, "Let me tell you, the junior sister who met Childe just now." "Why are you stealing my tea?" The other looked at him dissatisfied, and backhanded to snatch back his own teacup. ”

"What kind of tea are you drinking," the steward who spoke put the teacup on the table, "It's strange, she actually asked me if the relationship between the pavilion master of our Meixian Pavilion and the prince is good." ”

"Our Pavilion Master?" The person who answered the call was stunned and said, "Did she see the chief manager?" ”

"Definitely not, what she asked is the pavilion master, where did we come from, isn't the pavilion master and the prince that" The steward stroked his chin and said, "It must be that the son is hiding from his little sister and not telling the truth." ”

"Hey, it's a joke between brothers and sisters, young man, it's not strange to play harder."

"But I saw that his junior sister didn't know anything about it, and was completely kept in the dark."

The man who answered stood up and walked to the table, retrieved his snatched cup, and refilled the tea.

He put it to his lips and took a few sips and said, "Then what are you going to do now?" "You've mentioned it to me, how dare I ask and do it casually, I just think it's strange to come back and talk to you." "You've got acquainted with each other this time."

I walked around the kitchen twice, and my eyes couldn't take my eyes off the dishes on the table, and I felt a complicated feeling churning in my heart.

Turning around and walking to the stove, I remembered what the attendant had just told me, and the rice was still warm on the stove, so I couldn't help but reach out and lift the lid.

When I found the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, I turned around and got some rice from the pot and walked back to the table.

The dishes on the table were already cold, and two of them were originally cold.

The weather on winter nights is still quite cold, and if you want to talk about the taste, it must not be as good as when it was just cooked.

But I think it would be a bad feeling in my heart to let such a table of dried vegetables wait until dawn tonight to be dumped!

I sat at the table, my chopsticks moving over two plates of cold dishes, and then on to the other plates.

The rice is a little hot, so it won't be too unpalatable with cold dishes

I came out of the kitchen and saw someone standing above me at the corner of the stairs looking down at me. "Senior brother." I whispered to him.

Tianfang seemed to have completely woken up, and the whole person was much more energetic, and he stood on the stairs not far from me, looking at me all the time, with a smile on the corner of his lips. "How did it take so long?" He asked. "Hey, I walked around the yard and talked to the attendants, but I felt bored, and I was very hungry, so I ran to the kitchen to find something to eat."

Tianfang looked at me with deep eyes and said, "Did you find it?" "Senior brother, what you said this," I covered my mouth and laughed, "Meixian Pavilion is a big store anyway, and it earns so much in a year. ”

"Can't you find food in the kitchen in the backyard, and you can be so hungry that I, a guest, can't you?"

I said in a playful tone: "I'm full of food, and the taste is good, it's hard to be a chef, so it's a pity not to eat a table of dishes." "Senior brother, you woke up just in time, let's go back to the house, I want to ask you, about the accounts of Meixian Pavilion."

I walked up the stairs to Tianfang's side, stretched out my hand and pushed him forward and said, "Hurry up, don't delay time, I still have something to do." (To be continued......)
