Chapter 155: Aunt Bai's housekeeper

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

After last night, Bai Zhi had obviously understood what it meant to be a man's words that could not be trusted, so she just lifted her eyelids and didn't show much enthusiasm.

Lu Zhiyuan touched his nose, was this being nakedly ignored by his little aunt!

"Ahem!"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "My lord, are you uncomfortable in your throat, I will let the kitchen boil some rock sugar pears to moisten your throat." ”

Look at how empathetic it is, Lord Lu was moved, and coughed twice, "You have a heart." ”

Bai Zhi wanted to laugh, but she didn't hold back her laughter, she raised her eyelids and said, "You just said that there is a good way?" ”

Lord Lu thought to himself, Aunt Bai was such a duplicitous character, but he didn't continue to tease her, so he didn't have to spend some effort to coax her if he was really annoyed, so he said with a straight face, "You said that the manager over there in the kitchen mentioned the increase in the price of vegetables earlier?" ”

Bai Zhi naturally nodded, "I mentioned it, last time they said that the kitchen cost was large, but I calculated it here, and I also asked people to go outside to investigate the price of vegetables, and it didn't rise." ”

The kitchen has objections to the money she gives every month, and has repeatedly raised that it is not enough, but Bai Zhi has not agreed to the increase, she is now in charge of the house, so she naturally has to be careful in her calculations, and she can't let Lord Lu's silver be wasted like this.

After listening to her words, Lord Lu knew what the problem was, and he watched his little aunt reach out and pull her to her lap and hold her, "Isn't the problem here." The kitchen has always been the place with the largest oil and water, and the kitchen stewards rely on these expenses, and now you have directly reduced most of the expenses, isn't it directly cutting off their financial routes, so how can they not trouble you. ”

Bai Zhi was confused when she heard it, "But shouldn't it be broken, they already took the monthly money when they did things in the house, and they were greedy for other silver, we knew it but connived, wouldn't it become a fool?" ”

Lu Zhiyuan sighed, "This is the way to pay attention to people." Anything that is not enough, people's greed will never be less. If they can't get enough oil and water from you, they'll go somewhere else. And the new subordinates, can you guarantee that there is no such problem, and it has been changed back and forth like this, which not only increases the trouble, but also increases the difficulty of management. You are only in charge of a backyard now, if you are in charge of a bigger place, how much energy do you have to fight wits and courage with the people under you, and in the end you are tired. ”

Bai Zhi sounded like this, she seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand, and her whole face collapsed, "Then I can't let them get oil and water from the house?" ”

"Of course, it won't work." Lu Zhiyuan smiled.

"It's not going to work, that's not going to work. How? "She just thinks it's really difficult to manage a family, and it's so troublesome for just a few people.

Lu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of her nose, "You are in a hurry." ”

"Actually, it's still those four words, it's too much. Everything is mastered to a degree, within which you can turn a blind eye and make them profitable, and you will naturally work harder. But once this degree is exceeded, then there is a penalty. As a superior, you don't need to fight wits and courage with your subordinates, but you can't be too harsh, lest you end up with a harsh reputation. ”

Bai Zhi pondered, and there was a little brightness in her eyes, "Are you saying that I don't have to calculate the kitchen money so accurately, and give them some leeway within a certain extent, so that they will work harder?" ”

"Count me not in vain." Lord Lu slapped her ass.

"Then I'll raise the cost of the kitchen a little bit tomorrow." Bai Zhi consciously solved a big trouble, and she was very happy.

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her and continued slowly, "Since you have set your monthly kitchen expenses, you have to follow this method. Changing the order is the most taboo thing. If they suddenly add more silver, they will inevitably feel that their own plan has worked, then the next time they feel that they are not satisfied with the current silver, they will inevitably use the same method against you again, and what will you do when the time comes, continue to add silver, people's greed will never be satisfied. ”

Before Bai Zhi could be happy and was poured cold water again, she was suddenly deflated and lay on Lord Lu's arms coquettishly, "Then what should I do, you can help me." ”

Her soft hair slid around the man's neck, like tickling, Lu Zhiyuan wanted to embarrass her and let her use her own brain, which would be entangled, and he forgot his plan, "Okay, okay, just tell you." Sit up straight, don't act like you're boneless. ”

When Bai Zhi heard this, she knew that she had played a role, so she immediately sat down obediently with a smile, "The concubine listens." ”

"Humph! Flim flam bad thing. Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her and continued, "The kitchen is too comfortable now, but it's just because there is only one person in charge of everything, and the power is too big and there is no sense of crisis, which will naturally make people's hearts bigger." ”

Bai Zhi didn't speak immediately when she heard this, this time she thought about it seriously, "Then if I set up a deputy steward over there in the kitchen, I will be responsible for supervising the steward." Once it is found that the steward does not follow the rules or fills his own pocket, the deputy steward replaces the steward's position. And if the deputy steward's report is justified, then he can also get a reward. On the other hand, if the steward works diligently for three consecutive months and does not embezzle any money, he will also receive a sum of money as a reward. ”

Her voice fell, and she received an appreciative look from Lord Lu, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt a sense of pride in her own children's success!

"It's not stupid to go home."

Bai Zhi was completely relaxed, and the next step was naturally implemented.

The steward of the kitchen is surnamed Chen, who came with the group of people sent from the capital by the Lu family years ago, and has been in the Lu family for more than 20 years, so he is naturally a little respectable.

On the second day, Lord Lu went out as usual, and looked at her with some anxiety before leaving, "Can you do it yourself, if not, wait for me to come back later." ”

"No problem, I'll do it well." She patted her chest and promised.

Lord Lu didn't say anything, Aunt Bai had to grow up little by little, he could protect her, but he also hoped that she would grow up, in the near future, she would have to face more cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, even if he could protect him, he was afraid that there would be a time when he would be overwhelmed, and at that time, she would need to protect herself.

After Bai Zhi waited for Lord Lu to leave, she led people to the kitchen and announced the method she had thought of last night.

The kitchen as a whole has not changed, but a deputy steward with little power has been added, which has played a certain restraining role in the steward, and to prevent collusion between the steward and the deputy steward, a special article has been added, if someone finds that the chief and deputy stewards have joined hands to fill their own pockets, they will immediately remove their positions, and the whistleblower will take over the position, and they will get a corresponding reward.

Of course, she has set up a reward and punishment system for everyone this time, as long as she works diligently, she will do a competition every three months, and there will be corresponding rewards for good performance.

The reward of this pen is all eye-catching, from the steward to the fire girl below, looking at the amount of the reward, all eyes are shining.

Steward Chen stared at the reward silver, only to think that it was all white silver. In the past, he deducted some silver here and there, not only to prevent the master from finding out but not much money, but this time it was different, as long as he didn't make a mistake for three months, he could get a reward of a full twenty taels of silver, which was a white flower, how to look at how tempting, there were eighty taels of silver in a year without accidents, and the most important thing was that the money was at ease.

No one will get along with silver, and this method was quickly unanimously praised by the people below, and then they worked especially hard one by one. Vegetables and fruits are the best every day, and the dishes are more delicious than before.

Bai Zhi secretly calculated the account, in fact, the silver she took out to reward was only two-thirds of the previous expenses in the kitchen, so it not only saved money, but also made the people below work hard, which was really a double win.

Presumably Bai Zhi was in a happy mood here, but the red clothes on the other side were sulking while sitting in the room, "Is that really what Chen Da said?" ”

"Back to the master, Steward Chen said that he couldn't accept the silver you gave him, so let the slave and maid bring it back." The little maid saw that her master was in a bad mood, and her speech became more and more trembling, "Say yes, say yes......"

"Say what?" Hongsheng opened his mouth with a gloomy face.

The little maid hurriedly shrunk her neck, "I said I would keep it for you to buy beads and flowers to play with." ”

This is a clear dislike of the lack of money!

Hongshang looked at the ten taels of silver on the table, and felt that he had been slapped by someone, and his face was innocent and intertwined, and the color was extremely ugly.

She knew that Bai Zhi was reducing the expenses of the kitchen, so she sent silver to Chen Da, who was in charge of the kitchen, and wanted to buy him. And Chen Da is also very knowledgeable, and he did a good job of receiving the silver, openly and secretly blocking Bai Zhi, according to the plan, the kitchen is bound to be chaotic in three days, and there will be no rice to cook, and she is also ready to take the initiative to take out her own silver at this time to arrange to solve the problem first.

There has been no problem with the plan, but I didn't expect that Bai Zhi thought of a way at the last moment, and as soon as she launched this method, everyone in the kitchen worked as if they didn't know how to be tired, especially Chen Da, who had a greater sweetness, so he naturally couldn't look down on his own money.

The red clothes are itching, she is not favored now, and she only spends five taels of silver every month, except for making up for herself every day, there is really not much left. Take these ten taels of silver as an example, it is already all her savings, she spent so much effort, and in the end she was returned, it really slapped her in the face, and she was always angry in her heart.

And she blamed this anger completely on Bai Zhi, if it weren't for herself, how could she have not been favored by Lord Lu, if it wasn't for herself, how could she lose face in front of Chen Da's subordinates.
