Xiao Chu's words made Master Xiong not know how to respond, he is a smart person, and it is precisely because he is smart that he knows that he doesn't know how to deal with those words, and Xiao Chushu can find fault with them. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This eldest lady of the Xiao family, who has long been not called the Xiao family's branches, how could she think that she is a person with sharp teeth, and the current Xiong master feels unprecedentedly manic. The salute was still there, but he didn't know how to agree, and his stiff salute was only exchanged for Xiao Chusu's resignation and disdainful sarcasm. With a mocking sound, Xiao Chu said in a sneering manner.

"These Diao farmers have teamed up to trick me, just to harm you, indeed, Miss, I just came to Yuanzhou, but I really don't know what happened to this Yuanzhou for a few days, so I won't talk about whether this deception is or not. Whether it is deceived or not, I am not interested, what I want to talk to Master Xiong today is what this large amount of silver needed by the branch in the past few years, what is the use. ”

After the words fell, Xiang Zhu had already retrieved the account book from the old farmer's hand, and then handed it to Xiao Chusu. Flipping through the account book and jumping directly over the wages, Xiao Chuxuan took the account and pointed at the main bear, pointing at one of them and saying.

"The matter of wages, both parties hold their own hands, Miss, I have confiscated the wages given by your tea field, so I don't know about this matter, and I don't plan to talk about this matter at the moment. However, the bear master, although the salary matter does not want to explore the Qingming for the time being, but this one, I don't know if the bear director can explain it to me. ”

Pointing to the one on the top, because it was far away, he felt that under such a distance, Master Xiong was afraid that he would not be able to see what was written on it, so Xiao Chuxuan simply asked Xiang Zhu to send this account book to Director Xiong. just sent it, but the account book was not handed over to Master Xiong, but held in the hands of Xiang Zhu, so that Master Xiong could see clearly what she was referring to.

Looking at the heavy face of Master Xiong, Xiao Chuxuan knew that he had thought about it, and immediately looked at it and said: "The matter of wages will be put aside for the time being, because Miss didn't see it in person, so I don't want to talk about anything." But what I'm curious about right now, I wonder if Master Xiong can give me a satisfactory explanation? After all, I can see this with my own eyes in the tea field. Not only did I see it with my own eyes, but I also felt it with my own eyes, and that memory is really fresh and tight. ”

Xiao Chuxuan asked not about the side at this time, but about the housing and food in the tea field. These two items are included in the details every year, and he borrowed these two items and some side needs and asked the Xiao family for a lot of silver taels.

It is easiest for both sides to talk about this kind of thing once, because there is no evidence, it is difficult to find out for a while, but those things that really have to be put on the table every day are not good nonsense.

Xiao Chu pointed at what this article meant, and when he looked at the details listed by himself on the account, he had already cleared it. His face was no longer depressed, but flashed white at that moment, and when he saw the sudden white complexion, Xiao Chu smiled and said.

"To repair the house, all the food and clothing needed every month add up to six thousand taels of silver a year. Since it is six thousand taels, it is five hundred taels in a month, and sixteen taels and six dollars in one day. Sixteen taels of silver, in addition to deducting other needs, is to spend five or six taels a day on the food of tea farmers, which is also less. How many tea farmers are there in this tea field, but there are only about 500 people, and the cost of eleven or two taels a day, is it possible that the silver of these eleven or two taels is not enough for ordinary food? Not to mention that the old man mentioned it, you also asked them for five wen for this daily food, even if they didn't give you the five wen, you have to spend twenty-five or six wen on them a day. These twenty-five or six texts, one day, the bear master will buy me such food? ”

As the words fell, the people spoke, and Firefly walked in from outside the house, with two broken dishes and a broken bowl with a broken corner on the tray in her hand. On the plate, there were two brown rice wotou of yellow beige, and the other smaller plate and the bowl contained a small plate of pickles and half a bowl of vegetable soup that looked like mud and water and could not be colored.

Carrying such a thing into the inner hall, it was to see, the eyebrows of the firefly grass had been twisted to the limit, not to mention the few people who had tasted this food. After watching the fireflies carrying the tea farmer's food to the inner hall, Chu Heng Chu Rui's complexion changed suddenly.

This thing, the two of them have been eating it for several days in a row, and they really didn't poison this thing, and they both felt that their lives were hard enough.

The young lady and the young master must have suffered a lot of hardships in the tea field this time, and the maids and maids are all clear, but no one expected that their young lady and young master would be eating this kind of thing to live these days, and the face of the bamboo in the current box was extremely ugly, even Xiao Shou and Xiao Huan, their faces were twisted. I began to think about what kind of dishes I had to buy for the young master in the past few days, so that I could comfort the young master for the inhuman suffering he had suffered in the past few days.

carried the food into the inner hall, and did not send the food all the way to the eldest lady's side, but stopped at the side of the bear master. The pestle stood beside Master Xiong, facing him, so that he could see more clearly what was in his hand, Xiao Chuxuan said.

"These things, I think it's not clear to Master Xiong, but don't worry, Master Xiong is not clear, but coincidentally, I can be very clear about these things. Not only is it very clear, but I can also tell you very responsibly that the daily food of these tea farmers is not only fresh in the ordinary sense of memory, but also a lifetime, and I am afraid that it will not be unforgettable. ”

The tray went to the bear master and made up a few points, and an indescribable smell directly choked into the bear master's nose, looking at the bear master's frowning eyebrows, Xiao Chu said: "According to the silver that the bear master opened his mouth to ask the Xiao family, this day will be twenty-five or sixty-six Wen, Miss I have never used the silver, and I don't know what the twenty-five or six Wen can do, but I can consult the people who know it on the spot, and see how much food the bear master can buy in the past few years just for this piece of silver from the Xiao family." ”

After saying this, Xiao Chu looked at Xiang Zhu and asked, "Xiang Zhu, how many buckets of rice can you buy for these twenty-five or six Wen?" ”

"Back to Miss's words." Glancing at it, Xiang Zhu said: "Now the market price of rice grain is about 13 Wen, and this bucket of rice is enough to feed about ten people. If it is calculated according to 256 wen a day, don't say that there are only about 500 tea farmers in this tea field, that is, there are more than 500 tea farmers, and they are also white rice bowls and rice that they can afford. ”

The market price is unclear, but the price of this rice and grain is clearly on the table, and no one can fake it. As soon as Xiang Zhu's words fell, Xiao Chusu also nodded, and his eyes could be regarded as moving from the bear master to the food in the hands of the fireflies, Xiao Chusu said.

"These foods on the hands of the fireflies, or are they specially sent by Miss I sent someone to the tea field to get them, and they are the same batch as the ones I ate this morning, and they are fresh? Master Xiong, do you want to accompany Miss to taste it? ”

As soon as the words fell, the food in his hand directly asked the firefly to hand it forward, such a disgusting thing just by looking at it, how could the bear master, who was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains, endure it. Just looking at the vegetable soup that was like muddy water, he didn't know what was being mixed up, and he felt evil, let alone drink it.

Looking at the food handed to him, Master Xiong subconsciously took a step back, and it was this gentle retreat that made Xiao Chusu look in his eyes and say.

"It seems that our bear master is not an ordinary noble, this tea farmer should eat every day, is it not in the eyes of the bear master, even close to smell and feel wronged by your nose? Or does the bear master feel that this thing is really disgusting to look at, this kind of thing, which is something that people can eat? ”

Since the bear master couldn't touch the tea farmer's food, Xiao Chusu didn't force him, beckoned to the firefly to serve the food, and took one of the nest heads that I didn't know if it had a musty smell, Xiao Chusu broke it open and said.

"The consumption of twenty-five or six wen per person a day is enough to buy two buckets of rice alone, and the rations of the twenty-odd strong guys are still the kind that are full. But now Master Xiong has bought me such food that you don't even eat? Then should I ask, where did these silver taels go? But it's all in the pocket of the bear master? ”

Greed is a big taboo, Xiao Chuxuan's last smile asked Zhiming Xiong about his greed for money and silver, and deceived the owner. Although the bear is called the principal, he is actually a guy who takes the salary to do things, if he embezzles a lot of money from the owner, he can escort the evil things to the law. At that moment, Master Xiong's heart was also trembling, and looking at Xiao Chu's contemplation of the inspection, Master Xiong was busy saying.

"Miss, I really haven't embezzled silver taels privately, every penny of silver I asked the Xiao family for is used in the tea field."

"Every penny of silver is used where it should be used, so I can't figure out whether it is the bear lord who is doing too much, and I don't know what is going on outside. Or the bear is also like me, idle at home in the boudoir, ignoring the outside of the window, and even the market price outside is not clear. Twenty-five or six wen per person a day, but this kind of food is purchased, if these are the things that the bear master said should be used, then I have to think about whether the bear master has the ability to do things. ”

The head of the Xiao family came with him this time for Qian Yin, and Master Xiong knew about it, but he never thought that Xiao Chuxuan would be so straightforward. This sentence clearly has the meaning of return,

Returned.

This tea field has long been regarded as his own thing, and his whole life has been poured here, if Xiao Chu really returned it to someone else to take this position, how could he swallow such a decision. Not to mention the side, it is the fat meat that the Xiao family's tea field can't gnaw on, and he can't say anything from his own hands.

Don't talk about wages, because wages are difficult to check, but directly from the side of the physical objects available, directly doubting his ability to do things. This humble and outrageous head of the Xiao family is really a terrible person.

If the salary is only or on the side, he can still quibble with his mind, but if it is the daily food provided to the tea farmers, he really does not know how to justify. After all, the eldest lady has personally stayed in the tea field, and she has also used the daily food and residence of this tea farmer.

Rao is the master of this bear who has been cunning for many years, and when he is facing the tea farmer in Xiao Chusu's hands to eat, he can't say anything back for a while. Xiao Chuxuan was stunned, just looking at it like that, and the brown rice nest in her hand had already told her to crush it with her fingertips and scatter it on the ground little by little.

Yellow-flour brown rice, even if you knead it with your hands, you feel so hard that you knock it, let alone bite it and swallow it into your stomach.

Gently grinding the nest, Xiao Chu said shyly: "Miss, I don't know the price of money and rice, but no matter how I don't know the fireworks in the world, I should also know that those silver taels can't afford to buy such food and those people can't live in a residence." Allocate so many silver taels in a year, but get such a thing, Master Xiong, you say this is because of the ability to do things? Or is it a side cause? ”

If it is not that one, it will be unfavorable for the bear master.

This sin suffered by Cha Tian was by no means an interesting thing for the young master of the Xiao family, because of the suffering that Cha Tian suffered, he had already breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Especially when he entered the Xiong Mansion just now, the arrogant and condescending appearance of the Xiong master made them even more unhappy, and now looking at his complexion, the mood of the two young masters can be regarded as better.

Raised the newly built tea and took a sip, Chu Heng closed his eyes and tasted the tea, but it was Xiao Churui on the side, and the whole person leaned forward. He only sat halfway in front of him, looking at the bear master who was standing there and didn't know how to agree, Chu Rui smiled.

"Yes, Master Xiong, you reach out to the Xiao family every year to ask for two taels of silver, just this amount is considerable, that share of silver is not to say that a town like Yuanzhou, that is, Kyoto, is enough to play for a long time. That a lot of silver, but can only buy these pigs and dogs are not necessarily happy to sniff things, the bear master's handling of things really makes the young master I worry. ”

Shaking his head and slamming his tongue a few times, Chu Rui continued: "A lot of silver has only been exchanged for these, isn't it that the price of rice in this far continent is as high as the sky, and those silver taels are not enough for expenses?" Or the Diao farmers in this tea field are really rampant, and if they are not happy to live in a new house, they like to live in a low house that can't turn over the stench. Don't you like to eat fresh food, so you like to eat these moldy foods? ”

No matter what, for the main business of this branch, it is the tea farmer who is ruthless, and everything in this tea field is because of the tea farmer. Xiao Churui's words, if you want to say that the irony is much heavier than Xiao Churui's I don't know how much, with his eyes rolling up from time to time and his dislike in his eyes, it is even more serious.

Where did the money go? Xiao Chuxuan asked about this matter, but where did the money go, and how to ask Master Xiong to give a reasonable but incorrect answer under such a direct inquiry. Just when Master Xiong lowered his head and said nothing, the butler who was waiting there for a long time knelt down at this time.

Trembling and kneeling on the ground, his hands on the ground and half of his body almost touching the ground, while trembling and kneeling, while choking his voice, the housekeeper knelt on the ground and said.

"Big ...... Miss...... Spare your life, Miss. (To be continued.) )
