Chapter 169: Qiu Lian reckons accounts

On the second day, Qian Yuning was in the hall listening to the chief steward of the big kitchen, Mama He, the second steward reported to Mama and the two purchasing mothers-in-law, Ma Pozi and Wang Pozi, and Qiu Lian was counting and asking some questions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qian Yuning suddenly discovered that Qiulian did have a talent for managing bookkeeping, and could ask things that he had never thought of before, such as this year's rain is more than last year's, the price of vegetables should be reduced, and pork is expensive, so you have to see a few more before buying. The two buying mothers-in-law were asked by her and their faces turned white and red, and they hesitated for a long time before they said, probably because their own accounts were wrong, and they begged Mrs. Ning to be tolerant for a day, and when they go back today, they will calculate it carefully, and report it tomorrow.

Qian Yuning knew in his heart that these two purchases were probably a little tired, but now that it was the time to employ people, it was inconvenient to pick out and say, knock it out, and see if they could change it, if they couldn't change it, it would not be too late. After sending away the two mothers-in-law, Qian Yuning reprimanded Mama.

Mama Xiang was a little aggrieved, this Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Wang had a good relationship with her on weekdays, and after she was promoted to the second steward of the big kitchen, the two of them surrounded her and flattered her. After Mrs. Ning San asked her to be the second steward of the big kitchen, she said that she wanted to buy and ask her to watch it, and Mama He was a little involved in this matter, so naturally she should not have the final say. Xiang Mama thought about it, and replaced it with someone she could trust, so she chose Ma Pozi and Wang Pozi, but she didn't expect these two people to make her faceless in front of Mrs. Ning San this time, Xiang Mama was so angry that she wanted to scold, and she couldn't wait to go back to the big kitchen to pump the two of them immediately, so she had to endure listening to the training.

Seeing that Mama Xiang was afraid, Qian Yuning herself said that the saliva in her mouth was dry, she took a sip of tea, she said coldly: "Mama Xiang, you are now the second manager of the big kitchen, you should learn from Mama He to be a little more hungry, don't be reckless, if you are not careful, you will calculate an extra tael of silver for everything every day, and two hundred taels in this Hou Mansion will flow out in vain in one day." Mrs. Hou Ye trusts me and tells me to take care of the big kitchen, I can't live up to it, you can do it yourself! Don't kneel here, go and see, and ask them to settle the accounts for me. By the way, Qiu Lian is the big girl next to me, from now on, you can take her with Mama, let her give you a start, and it is good for one more person to come up with an idea to keep an account, so as not to be confused and deceived by some of the ill-intentioned minions below. ”

Xiang Mama hurriedly kowtowed yes, Qiu Lian put down the brush in her hand, stood up and walked over to help her up, her voice was crisp, and she said with a smile: "Mama, get up quickly!" Qiu Lian will depend on you to take care of it in the future. With that, Qiu Lianying bowed down and bowed to Mama Xiang.

Xiang Mama glanced at Mrs. Ning San, waved her hand awkwardly and pulled out a smile and said to Qiu Lian: "Where, Miss Qiu Lian can torture the old slave, you are the right-hand man in front of Mrs. Ning San, and I want you to mention more in the future." ”

Mama He was like a wooden stake on the side, not saying a word, just lowering her head and hooking a weird smile at the corner of her mouth.

Qian Yuning put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said, "Then let's go, Qiu Lian, I'll take you to the big kitchen to have a look." ”

Qiu Lian bowed to Mama He Mama a few times, Qian Yuning walked in front, Qiu Lian and Xiaoman came forward to help, just out of the door, I saw Osmanthus Huo running over in a hurry, and reported: "Third lady, it's not good, the winter snow in the peach orchard is about to fight with them, you go and take a look!" ”

Qian Yuning frowned and asked, "What about Dongxue?" ”

Osmanthus jumped to her feet and said, "Dongxue and Aunt Shen's maid Lifu have a fight, third lady, go and take a look!" ”

Qian Yuning was a little angry: "This Shen family is so bold, unexpectedly, hum!" Qiu Lian, you go to the big kitchen with Mama He and Mama Xiang first, and I'll go to Taoyuan to have a look. ”

Qiu Lian asked with some concern: "Third lady, why don't you go with you!" ”

Qian Yuning twisted his eyebrows and said, "No need, you can go by yourself!" She then instructed Xiao Man, "Xiao Man, go, call a few stout mothers-in-law from the flower house, tell them to hurry up, and I'll go first." ”

Xiao Man nodded and responded, "Yes, Third Lady, the slave will go." Then he said to Osmanthus who was standing aside: "Sister Osmanthus, you come to serve Mrs., I'll call someone." ”

"Oh, oh! Good. Osmanthus hurriedly stepped forward to support Qian Yuning, and the master and servant hurriedly went to the peach orchard.

Xiaoman also turned around and ran to the flower room, Xiang Mama and Qiu Lian were still standing there looking at the back of the third lady in the distance, He Mama glanced at them casually, and said, "Sister Xiang, what are you still doing in a daze!" Let's go, let's hurry up and bring Miss Qiulian over to do a good job of the errand assigned by Mrs. Ning San, otherwise, you and I will have to eat another meal. ”

Xiang Mama reacted at this time, and hurriedly said to Qiu Lian on the side: "Oh, that's good, Miss Qiu Lian, then let's go, we have to get the account on the purchase right today, it takes some effort!" I'm going to have to trouble you this time, you see, we don't know how to count, and we have to come with you. Xiang Mama smiled flatteringly at Qiu Lian.

Mama He saw it and pouted on the side, she was really a stupid and stupid.

Qiu Lian Dao was very polite, went up and took the initiative to hold Xiang Mama's hand, and said: "Xiang Mama, don't say that, torture my little girl, you are an elder, I and Osmanthus are a year, you are your junior, in the future, what is the use of my Qiu Lian, you always command." Everyone is doing things for the third lady, it must be done, it is always right to be careful, the purchase of this big kitchen, the loss of silver is a trivial matter, if the master loses face, it is not us who are slaves. ”

Xiang Mama grinned and said: "Yes, yes, Miss Qiulian is knowledgeable but different, when you were burning the fire under our big kitchen stove, I didn't think you were like a fire girl, you should be a first-class girl, hehe, my wife didn't look away, you see, this time the third lady didn't appreciate you." ”

Qiu Lian smiled, didn't say anything, helped Xiang Mama to walk forward, Mama He followed behind, very unhappy, and secretly scolded Xiang Mama: "Sycophant, even a little maid can be sticky, it's really embarrassing." (To be continued.) )
