Chapter 050 Egg Beating
Although Shi Jinxiu doesn't treat people in the third room very much on weekdays, this time she can't help but cheer for the third aunt.
There are some things that she can say, but the effect of saying them is far less than that of the third aunt who is in a concubine relationship with the eldest aunt.
Sure enough, Li's face changed in an instant.
But for the sake of the so-called face of the concubine, Li smiled very embarrassedly: "I'm afraid this matter still has to be considered in the long run......"
"No need! I didn't agree much at the beginning, but I reluctantly agreed when you patted your chest and said it so wildly," Lu Shi retorted very shamelessly, "But I didn't think that it had not been half a month before such a moth appeared, I think it is better to buy each one as before!" ”
She didn't bother to talk to Li about the silk fan anymore, but flicked her sleeves and left.
"Auntie, since the third aunt doesn't approve of the unified side dishes in the big kitchen, then we don't need the big kitchen to deliver food in the fourth room!" As long as the three rooms are different from the big rooms, they can choose the situation that is most beneficial to them.
Thinking that the food cost of the third room is twice as high as that of the fourth room, Shi Jinxiu struck while the iron was hot: "It's just that I don't understand, the third room only has one more Aunt Wen than us, why is their food money fifty taels more than ours?" ”
Li was stunned when he heard this.
The four heads of the Shi family were not separated, except for the princess who moved out of the second room, the other three heads all lived in the Changxing Marquis's mansion.
The amount of silver each month for each head of the house was determined by Mrs. Shi at the beginning, and no one has raised any objections over the years, so the Li family has also been following Xiao Gui Cao.
"When my grandmother set this rule, it was compared to the number of people in each room, but over the years, every house has been imported, and I am afraid it will be inappropriate to follow the old rules." Shi Jinxiu said slowly, "Don't say anything else, my mother is pregnant now, and it's not too much for one person to eat two servings, so it's more expensive than Aunt Wen in the third room, right?" ”
Saying that, Shi Jinxiu paused: "And the lobby sister, they have been married for so many years, and I don't know if the third aunt knows that the eldest aunt has not reduced her share of expenses......"
Li's face was embarrassed.
She thought no one knew about it.
Since the eldest daughter Shi Hongsleeve got married three years ago, the Li family has not lost her share, but secretly subsidized it to her daughter every month.
She always thought that she had done this unknowingly, but she didn't know how Shi Jinxiu knew.
And the most important thing is that this matter must not be known by the people in the third room, otherwise I don't know how the Lu family will make trouble with him.
The Li family, who wanted to settle the matter, had to promise Shi Jinxiu with a smile: "The eldest aunt knows about this matter, and I will deal with it." ”
Shi Jinxiu knew that as a junior, he couldn't be too aggressive, and the third aunt Lu had left, and without her momentum, he wouldn't be able to make many waves.
Besides, with the "reminder" she just made, it is impossible for the eldest aunt to be too "fair".
The most important thing is that she came today to teach a lesson to a slave like Yan Pozi who looks down on people with low eyes.
Now that Yan Pozi is still next to the board in public, her goal of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys has been achieved.
Shi Jinxiu, who knew that she would accept it when she saw it, retired from the Li family, and when she walked out of Meihai Garden, she felt that everyone's eyes on her had become different from before.
After this uproar, coupled with the resolute opposition of the third room, the matter of unifying the side dishes by the large kitchen had to be finally abandoned.
On the second day, the eldest lady in charge of the feed had to distribute the money from each room again.
"Huh? How is it thirty taels more than before? Yulan took the silver sent by the big house, and panicked as if she was holding a hot potato.
Jane's, who was sitting cross-legged on the big kang near the window to help people embroider the quilt, moved her body with some difficulty, her belly was getting bigger, and her movement became more and more inconvenient: "Is it a mistake by the people in the big house?" Do you want to send it back? ”
Hearing this, Shi Jinxiu, who was helping her mother divide the line, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, her mother was really virtuous and kind all her life, and she didn't want to take advantage of others.
"Mother, this is what we deserve in our yard." Shi Jinxiu had no choice but to persuade, "The eldest aunt said, you are now a double person, and one person eats two people to make up, so you should spend more than before." ”
"Oh? Is that so? Out of trust in her daughter, Jane never doubted Shi Jinxiu's words, so she asked Yulan to put away all the silver.
Not long after, Du Juan, who was sent by Shi Jinxiu to inquire about the news outside the house, hurried back, and Shi Jinxiu quietly left the main house when he saw this.
"Girl, I really asked you to guess it, that Xixiangtang has launched a new product, the shop is crowded, I lined up all morning, and finally bought such a small bag." The cuckoo took out a small paper bag, and the words "Xixiangtang Poinsettia" were printed on it, "This time they are really dark!" In this way, a pack of incense that was less than one or two taels was sold for ten taels of silver! ”
The cuckoo complained to Shi Jinxiu.
Shi Jinxiu listened, but sneered in her heart.
In the past, Xixiangtang deliberately sold Mu Nianhua at a low price in order to grab business with Xinxiangge, but now that a new product has been released, it is natural to earn back the money that was pasted in before.
Shi Jinxiu opened the paper bag carelessly, but what he smelled was the familiar smell of "Crane Yannian".
The corners of her mouth curled slightly.
It looks like the fish has taken the bait.
Shi Jinxiu threw the bag of "poinsettia" back to Du Juan: "Find a sauerkraut jar and seal it!" Don't open it up. ”
"Huh? Such an expensive incense should be sealed with a sauerkraut jar? The cuckoo was a little confused when he heard this.
"Let you seal it, you will seal it, don't be reluctant! In a few days, there will be a good show. Shi Jinxiu winked at the cuckoo.
The cuckoo didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the girl's gourd.
She had to go to the small kitchen to ask Chen's mother for a jar of pickled cabbage, and sealed the bag of poinsettia in it.
Unexpectedly, two days later, something happened that caused a sensation in the entire capital: the poinsettia sold by Xixiangtang suddenly stinked!
The indescribable taste makes you vomit even the last night's meal.
How can people endure this?
Therefore, everyone covered their mouths and noses and endured the discomfort, and found Xixiangtang with a stinky poinsettia and asked for a return, but they didn't expect the smell in Xixiangtang to be even more unpleasant, so that the shops on the entire East Street could no longer open their doors for business.
When did the money shopkeeper who has sold incense all his life encounter this kind of thing?
He had no other way than to ask people to send a carload of stinky infrared outside the city.
