Chapter 4 Stewardship

said that it was an account room, but the second wife seemed to put all the account books in her own room, Su Li also took the opportunity to look at the second room of the house, compared with the courtyard of the big house, the size is about the same, but when you enter the main room, it is completely different, the furniture is Beijing-style, a full set of Huanghuali, and a piece of it is pasted, looking at it is expensive goods, Su Li seems to have to re-estimate the family's property situation.

The keys to the ledger warehouse were handed over, and Su Li glanced at it, and it turned out that there was a circle inside it.

"Brother and sister, what is this?" Although Su Li is lazy, it doesn't mean that she is stupid, and although Su Lao Niang can't cook, she has been a good tailor for ten years and an accountant for nearly 20 years, so the Su sisters have been following Lao Niang in the garment factory since they were young, and they have nothing to do to help do some hands-on work, and they can do needlework; When the old lady became an accountant, the sisters began to learn to plan and count money, and sure enough, the old sister also became an accountant. With such an experience, Su Li understands better than ordinary people that the money must be settled when paying the account, otherwise it will only be herself who is unlucky.

"My brother-in-law is not as elegant as my sister-in-law, and I can read and write." She became impatient, Su Li was dizzy, she didn't know how to read and was still a housekeeper? After a long time, she smiled and put the account book back on the table, "That's good, how many ingredients are in the warehouse, what is the daily ration of each room, and what is the monthly quota in the kitchen, my brother and sister give me a list, and the account book will be remembered from today." ”

"You ......" She was angry, but in the face of Qiu's mother, she endured it, picked up a bunch of keys and walked out, Su Li asked her to give her a new account book and followed. She noticed that Qiu's mother had taken the old account book, but she didn't see it.

After ordering the warehouse, checking the account, and seeing several mothers in the kitchen, Qiu's mother was leaving, thinking about it, she glanced at Su Li and smiled. Su Li was a little frightened, but she could only hold on.

"Big lady, it's noon, do you want to make snacks?"

"Do as it was!" Su Li wanted to quit and think about the morning snack, but she stopped again, "What do you eat in each room at noon?" ”

"The old lady only entered some horses and **** at noon, and added a few pieces of snacks; The second lady ......, the girl will hand a note in there, and the minions will do it. The steward smiled, and someone behind her pulled her clothes, and she came to her senses, "The eldest lady is generally the same as the old lady, if the eldest lady wants to eat something, just tell Sister Xiaohong to shout." ”

"The old lady still cooks at noon! Dim sum is not a good thing to eat. The second wife and the girl should be careful according to the quota. As for me, the old lady's case is halved. Su Li smiled and prepared to withdraw.

"Big lady!" The steward was a little embarrassed, Su Li stopped, she didn't say anything, why was she embarrassed like this?

"Say it!"

"The fixed amount of silver for the girl and the second wife...... On weekdays, the old lady and the eldest lady save a few mouthfuls in their mouths, but if the eldest lady wants to do it according to the quota...... "The housekeeper sweated down, Su Li nodded.

"I save it in my hospital, but I can't do it with the old lady. As long as the second wife and the girl are not excessive, you can leave them alone. Su Li didn't want to quarrel with the two of them at this time, so the steward nodded in embarrassment.

Lunch is still made under the personal guidance of Su Li, if according to the old practice, I am afraid that the silver is still not enough, Su Li bought a house with her own salary loan in modern times, and she is a very good master of life, plus her work in modern times is to put it bluntly, the production housekeeper of the unit, the mind has long been self-contained, and after looking at the kitchen for a while, I know their division of labor, but I still feel a little messy, call the steward, re-arrange, the person who washes the vegetables is only responsible for washing the vegetables, and the side dishes are only responsible for the side dishes, and the cook is only responsible for doing it. Each has its own responsibility, because it is divided, and everyone is responsible for their own part, and the speed is faster.

And then there is the side dishes, when she was there, the second wife and the girl's girl came to the word, ordered the food, the steward did not dare to agree, looked back at Su Li, Su Li just quietly wrote down the food they wanted, and thought for a while, "The two of you went back to talk to the second wife and the girl, I just took over the inner kitchen today, many things have not been sorted out, and I don't know if there are any materials that the second wife and the girl want, we will do our best, please don't complain." ”

"The eldest lady is holding chicken feathers as an arrow? It's not a big deal, the girl just wants to eat this bite, and the eldest lady has to make it so difficult, the girl goes back to the old lady, how should the eldest lady deal with herself? A girl shouted helplessly, Su Li laughed, alas! It's not easy to take care of something when she enters the house, but she is from a management background, and this little battle is also in front of her.

She turned her head, looked at the list, and pondered, "The second wife ordered a honey partridge, the girl ordered a pheasant slice soup, partridge and pheasant I just saw, without these two flavors, change to honey chicken wings!" Make four copies, one for each room, and I'll copy it down later. The egg custard ordered by the girl and the plum soaked by the second wife were made in two copies, and one was sent to the old lady, saying that the second wife and the girl were filial. Do the rest as usual! ”

The steward looked at Su Li in a daze, she didn't expect to be so good at kung fu, the two most expensive dishes were replaced by home-cooked dishes, and what was even more outrageous was that this eldest lady didn't pay attention to the words of the two big girls at all.

Su Li didn't have time to think about it so much, the queen of the kitchen was already raising chickens, so she let the side dishes kill them quickly, took blood to make blood tofu, washed the chicken feathers and put them aside, and no one was allowed to throw them away; The chicken wings were removed, and the wings were taken and sent to the kitchen for people to use for flooding, and the tips and roots of the wings were put aside for later use; After taking a few large bowls of chicken offal, Su Li's brain moved quickly, thinking about how to make the best use of it.

"What do you do on weekdays?" She decided to ask for professional advice first, and the steward glanced at her.

"It's all scraps, just send it to the kitchen for people to eat."

Su Li sighed in her heart and thought, "Take off the meat carefully, put the chicken rack and chicken skin together to make soup." Take the chicken thighs and set aside. And these, take the chicken stomach or something off to make lo-mei, and then leave some for chicken noodles at noon, and send the rest to the kitchen, don't spoil the good things. ”

The steward was stunned when she heard this, she didn't know this, it's just that this is in the house, but the rich family, why do they eat these? But when the eldest lady said it, she listened.

Su Li didn't know what the rules were in the house, but I heard that the old lady only used dim sum at noon, and it was still two meals a day, and the rest of the time was a dim sum. In the middle of the day, I don't pay much attention to a few large plates, but I want to be exquisite, under Su Li's control, each room is actually about the same, among the four honey wings in each room, it is the main dish, the old lady and the girl add an egg custard, and then add two vegetarian fried dishes. There were chicken noodles, so I didn't make soup. Su Li's taste, although she doesn't know how to do it, she is still very confident in the taste, because many dishes are the same, so one pot is stewed, and the chef doesn't dare to be sloppy.

Dinner had to be formal, and the old lady had two cold dishes, four hot dishes, and two bowls, for a total of eight dishes; Su Li and the second wife were halved, but the second lady sometimes came back to eat, so she was the same as the old lady; The girl should have reduced the main dish more than Su Li's daughter-in-law, but the second wife said that the girl was a delicate guest and couldn't be compromised, so she and Su Li could also order their own food. Su Li listened to the steward's reply, and smiled secretly in her heart, yes, I can see that the master of this mansion is the worst in this house. She called the housekeeper to her room, set a list for dinner, and then sat down at the table, the dish was already a little cold, the noodle soup was Liu Ma smart, as soon as the noodles were delivered, she hurriedly fished out the noodles and spread them on the plate on the side, put the soup in the warm basket to warm up, saw her come and sit down, picked some noodles and put them in the bowl and poured the soup on them.

Su Li didn't eat anything in the morning, she was a little hungry at this time, she didn't eat after eating two bowls of noodles, and she didn't touch the dishes on the table, she stood aside and watched it, and she had no appetite to think about it.

There were still noodles on the plate, and she looked at Mother Liu and Xiaohong, "How do you cook your meal?" ”

"The master's diet is made by the inner kitchen, which is the one you manage, and the people in the house like us also have face, and it is better to do it in the inner kitchen than the outside kitchen; There is also a large kitchen, when the old lady and the second master have a banquet, they will invite the chef from outside. In fact, there is a small kitchen in each room, and the master has silver for his own use to make some supplements. Mother Liu said carefully.

Su Li didn't make a sound when she heard it, she felt a little weird, this arrangement was still inappropriate, she had to think about it carefully. Look at the dishes that haven't been touched, "What to do with what I can't use on weekdays, you two are from my house, I want you to eat together, and I'm afraid that people will see it, so I can't bear to let you eat what I'm leftover." Is this good, Mother Liu, when the food is delivered, you can divide two portions, put them in the side room, and then go to the big kitchen to get your food and come back to eat? ”

"Ma'am!" Xiaohong seemed to be about to stop again, and Su Li smiled and waved her hand.

"I also know that my identity is actually not much better than you, and there are only the two of you next to me, eating is nothing, just a mind, with a bite from me, there is a bite from you."
