Hui Ya flipped through the account book of the small kitchen in her hand, slowly looking at it page by page. Because my mother was sick after arriving in the capital, the small kitchen was managed by Dong Cheng's family in the first few months, and then it was handed over to Xiao Zheng's after Xiao Zheng's came.

Hui Ya has been looking at it since she had a small kitchen, and there are 20 catties of pork, two chickens, and two ducks in each room every day

Four fish, two catties of milk, five catties of eggs and a share of various green vegetables. In addition, firewood, charcoal, rice, flour, and beans of all colors are delivered from the large kitchen, every day.

"There are so many dishes on this day, and they are only the dishes of each master." Hui Ya was stunned, Hui Ya was not clear about the head of the house next to the Zhao Mansion, but if she was at home, she would definitely not be able to eat so much meat and vegetables.

Not to mention anything else, how much pork is in twenty catties, Miss Qianjin, who has never been in the kitchen, may not know, but Huiya has been cooking for a long time, and how many people can eat as many meals as possible, this is clear.

A large plate of braised pork uses only two or three catties of pork, and the meals on the table of four people in their own family do not account for much of this kind of meat, so naturally they can't use twenty catties of pork. There are also chickens, ducks, fish and the like, which are not seen all at once on weekdays, where have these things gone, Huiya's eyebrows raised slightly, and she decided that in addition to writing some Chen, she must also go to the kitchen to see.

Early the next morning, Hui Ya took the rich family to Moxiang Courtyard, and seeing that her mother hadn't gotten up yet, she was ready to go to the small kitchen to see the situation of the meat and vegetables delivered.

Moxiang Courtyard is a small three-entry courtyard, although it is three-in, it occupies an area similar to Guanghe Hall. The first entrance is the main hall for entertaining guests, and the wing room used as a study. The second is where Hui Ya's father and mother live, and there is a private library in the warm pavilion of daily living, because she has just moved to the capital for more than a year, and Mrs. Zhao is not in good health, so the things brought back from her hometown are still locked in the private library and have not moved.

The third small courtyard is the place where the maid lives on weekdays, the small kitchen plus the firewood room, the utility room and the like, the place is not small, but because of the large number of people, it is quite a messy feeling that it is busy every day.

"Second Miss, are you really going to go to the kitchen?" When the rich family heard what Hui Ya said, they said with some hesitation, "The small kitchen in the backyard is a bit messy, I'm afraid of bumping into you." ”

"It's okay, don't I often go to the small kitchen in our yard on weekdays, why didn't you see me crashing into me." Hui Ya waved her hand, said indifferently and walked back, because she was at home and wanted to go to the kitchen to see, Hui Ya did not wear any expensive clothes, only an orange soft satin skirt, with a cotton robe, it was very convenient to walk.

When Hui Ya walked to the hall, she was just in time for the big kitchen to bring food to the small kitchen, and the rich family was afraid that the coarseness would make the mother-in-law rude, so they collided with Hui Ya, so they gently stopped it. Huiya also felt that her past was not very good now, as if she was checking the accounts, so she stood in the hall with a smile and watched.

The sturdy mother-in-law carried the big basket through the back door into the courtyard where the small kitchen was located, and as soon as she put the basket full of meat and vegetables on the ground, she shouted, "Come on, come on, collect the vegetables!" ”

"Okay!" The lady in charge of the small kitchen hurriedly ran out, looked at the basket covered with a lid on the ground, and said with a smile to a well-dressed mother-in-law next to the rough mother-in-law, "Hello Grandma Sun, today's food is still fresh?" ”

"Where do you get fresh vegetables in this winter, not to mention that you don't have many second house masters, it's enough to eat these." The one who was called Grandma Sun didn't lift his eyelids, and said slowly, with contempt in his tone, which made Huiya's heart a little bored.

"Yes, what Grandma Sun said is, the little one will be sent to you!" The lady in charge of the kitchen didn't even dare to open the food basket, so she stamped a stamp on the food delivery stick, which was considered to have accepted the dish.

After sending away the grandmother who delivered the vegetables, the lady in charge of the kitchen came back, she hurriedly opened the vegetable basket, took out a piece of pork of about five or six catties, took out a chicken and two fish, and when she looked at it again, there were only cabbage and potatoes left in the basket, which are the most common and cheapest vegetables in winter.

"The grandmother-in-law who suffered from the plague actually deducted vegetables and vegetables to such a point!" When the lady in charge saw such vegetables, she was angry, and stood at the kitchen door with hatred and scolded.

"Oh, my little ancestor, you just make a little quieter, if the second lady hears it, it will be uncomfortable again, right?" An old woman who was collecting firewood next to her hurriedly stood up and persuaded, "Look at this and give such a big piece of meat, the masters will have three meals, and there are only four people in total, which is enough to eat." ”

"Enough to eat? Yes, the masters have enough to eat, we don't have a bite, and we are all cheap to eat in the big house! As she spoke, the lady in charge was so angry that tears were about to fall.

"Mother-in-law, when did you say that this day is a leader, the eldest lady is too bullying, they are all slaves of the Zhao Mansion, why can her minions eat and drink spicy food and still support dozens of people in her mother's family, we can't even drink the northwest wind here!"

"Be quiet, be quiet, you're afraid that you won't hear it in front of you, anyway, someone will help fill it in, why are you in a hurry!" The mother-in-law said with a deep face, "Let's wait, my aunt and grandmother don't subsidize us on weekdays, so we don't have to worry about it, but now the second lady is in charge of the kitchen, and I don't know what the wind direction is, so wait......" The mother-in-law spoke, and the cat bent down to continue to sort out the firewood.

"Alas, it's infuriating!" The lady in charge stamped her foot and asked the rough lady to take all the meat and vegetables into the kitchen. There was no sound in the courtyard all of a sudden, only the mother-in-law, who was in charge of firewood, suddenly chopping wood.

Huiya stood in the hall, her eyes widened, she didn't expect that under the nose of her mother, under the nose of the so-called shrewd and capable Xiao Zheng, the second room was so bullied by the big house.

Twenty catties of pork, only less than one-third of it, chicken, duck and fish are halved, and there are not even fresh vegetables. This, this, this...... It's infuriating.

"Second Miss, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, this matter still has to be discussed in the long run." The rich family looked at Hui Ya's angry appearance, and couldn't help but pull Hui Ya's sleeve and told her not to be impulsive.

The rich family's time in this house is not short, although they have not taken care of the kitchen, they also know the situation. Mrs. Zhao is a picker, if she wants to say that she can do this deduction of meat and vegetables, but she shouldn't do it so obviously, it is possible to put less fresh green vegetables in winter, and it is possible for chickens and ducks to choose a smaller one, but such a **naked only gives less than half of the things, which seems to be too abnormal and too much.

"Hmm." Hui Ya nodded, there must be a demon when things go wrong, today is the first day I took over the small kitchen of Moxiang Courtyard, if it is like this, it will hurt the harmony of the big room and the second room, but the fisherman will not know who it is.

"Let's go, let's go back and see what good meals the cook can make at noon." Huiya took a deep breath and turned around neatly and walked back. (To be continued.) )
