"Sister-in-law, are you sure that all the people in my courtyard are distributing moldy rice?"

Han Beiqing expected that Han Mao was greedy and shameless, but he didn't expect him to dare to be so lacking in virtue.

"Of course I'm sure, and guess what's going on with the people in the family at this time? It's because someone found out that it was moldy rice with worms, and they wanted to say something."

The owner gave a New Year's gift, and everyone was surprised and uneasy. They all waited for the end of work or when others were free, and then sent the New Year's gift home.

Han Mao was unusual, asking everyone to send things home first, and then rush back to do things. But Han Beiqing is easy to speak, and the maid Bai Zhu next to him is an iron-faced Yama. She has always acted according to the rules, punished if she makes mistakes, and does it herself.

The people in the house have seen Bai Zhu's thunderous methods, how dare they sneak home when they go to work. Those who live close ask someone to send a message to their families, and those who live far away wait to return in the evening.

There are also those who have faces, such as Aunt Zou, who asked someone to bring a message to Yuan Erniang for herself, so that she could go back to her parents' house to give half of the New Year's gift.

Yuan Erniang got along very well with Aunt Zou in the kitchen, and the little girl Ao Xue came to the house to report the news, and she immediately entered the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, Yuan Erniang knew that today was the day of the New Year's gift in the house.

"Aunt Zou is very happy to get the New Year's gift, she wants to divide it into two and take out half of it to send it to her mother. When she was dividing things, she realized that something was wrong."

Speaking of this, Yuan Erniang felt a little envious in her heart, each steward could get so many things. In the future, when the restaurant opens, she will be in charge of desserts and pastries, and she will also be a serious steward.

When the Chinese New Year comes next, she can also take half a car of New Year's gifts home. These things, but she earned them by herself.

Two buckets of rice and noodles, two catties of rapeseed oil, 60 eggs, two fatty fish, and five catties of pork. This is Han Beiqing's New Year's gift to the stewards, except for pork, the others are all purchased by Han Mao.

Zou Niangzi's family is poor, even if she gets half of it, she is extremely good. The family is in charge of their own decisions, and no one dares to say anything if there are more or less.

When she went to pick up fatty fish in the pond, she found that the dead fish had already floated in most of the pond. Rapeseed oil is packed in a bamboo tube, and the oil mixed with water will float on top of the water. So ordinary people can't see that rapeseed oil is mixed with things, but Aunt Zou is a person who has been mixed in the kitchen for most of her life, and when she smells it carefully, she smells that something is wrong.

"The fish died, Zou Niangzi didn't notice that something was wrong, she just felt a little unlucky." Yuan Erniang showed a little schadenfreude on her face, laughing at Han Mao's self-righteousness.

"She poured the oil from the bamboo tube into the basin, and after letting it sit for a while, she found that the oil flowers were all floating."

Han Beiqing nodded after listening: "That's the separation of oil and water."

Oil is less dense than water, so oil floats on top of water. In this era, there are no high-quality and inexpensive transparent containers, and it is difficult for people to find them. Han Mao added water to rapeseed oil, this method is still quite a chicken thief. It's just that he ran into a shrewd opponent and was poked by Aunt Zou.

"I saw it at the time, and immediately explained to Aunt Zou that this was definitely not your idea. There's no reason why you've spent money to make the big guy unhappy." Yuan Erniang looked at Han Beiqing with a look of relief.

"Fortunately, these people in the courtyard all know what kind of virtue Han Mao's family is, and no one thinks that it's you, the owner, who has a bad heart."

There was a problem with the rapeseed oil, and Aunt Zou beckoned everyone and poured all the rapeseed oil into the basin, and sure enough, every barrel of oil was mixed with water.

"There was a problem with the rapeseed oil, and most of the fish died. By this time, the big guys had sensed that something was wrong. When I opened the rice noodles, I found that the rice in charge was of inferior quality, and the rice of the others was replaced by moldy rice."

Han Beiqing frowned and asked in a low voice, "Pork can't be changed, right?" The pigs were killed in the house, and each person was divided into two catties of pork, and the steward was divided into five catties. I said it that day, he wouldn't work it."

Yuan Erniang smiled coldly: "He? Hmph, you're really underestimating this guy. The meat can't be replaced, isn't there still bones, and there are no bones and no tendons."

Han Beiqing was speechless, and Zhou also sighed incredulously: "This person really doesn't want to have a face. He's not afraid to show his stuff."

"I'm not afraid of revealing the stuffing, he still can't wait to show the stuffing. After the revelation, my grandmother just stepped in to protect him. In this way, he can put his greed on the surface, and even if I want to drive him out, I must show sincerity."

Yuan Erniang looked annoyed: "What sincerity? It's not enough to take advantage of our family, what more do you want?"

"My father is a county magistrate, how can he be willing to let go of this piece of fat." Han Beiqing pursed his lips, he had already seen through Han Mao's thoughts.

The truth learned from Yuan Erniang is the same as what Holly said. It's not that I don't believe in holly, it's just that Holly has a cold temperament and doesn't like to socialize with people. From him, he couldn't see the reaction of the people below, let alone take advantage of the dissatisfaction of the people below.

"Holly has already gone to ask a few shopkeepers to buy it, and I will borrow the yard of my aunt's house and use it later."

Han Beiqing smiled at Zhou, and Zhou hurriedly waved his hand: "What's this, just ask." Han Mao is a very harmful person, so someone has to sell him moldy rice. The people who sold the moldy rice were sold to the county family, and they must not be a good person."

"Baby, you must not let them go."

Even the eldest aunt, who has always been honest, is angry, and you can imagine what the mood of those subordinates who have been given mildew rice is.

Soon, a few shopkeepers who sold goods came, and when they saw Han Beiqing and a few people, they knew that they were at a loss, so they knelt down and kowtowed to explain.

"Miss Han, we are really wronged. It's your second uncle, well, Second Master Han asked us for this."

Han Beiqing sighed softly, and Bai Zhu shouted sharply, "What Second Master Han? Which second master of Han? We are the second oldest in our county's family, could it be that our county asked you to sell defective products to your own family?"

People who have worked with the Han family will more or less inquire about some things from the Han family. is to violate the taboo of which master of the Han family, and this business will not be done.

Therefore, they all know that Miss Baizhu is from the Hou Mansion and is a master who has killed people on the battlefield.

Hearing Bai Zhu's reprimand, several people didn't dare to say anything.

"Tell me what's going on." Han Beiqing looked at a few people quietly, and his voice was soft, but it made people feel oppressed by a knife on his neck.

"If you go back to the eldest lady, the rice I sent to the house is all according to what I said before, and it is carefully selected and high-quality rice." The owner of the rice shop was in a cold sweat, raised his head to look at Han Beiqing, and cried with a sad face: "Today, the Dalong brothers came to the store to buy medium rice, and I didn't mix any bad rice. As for the mildew, it was really specially requested by the Han steward of the house."

"The rice was brought into the house last night, and I went to your house this morning, why didn't you say anything?"

Dalong's face turned pale, and he stared at the rice shop owner angrily: "Pretending to be confused, right?"
