"That's right! It's almost time to eat, if you don't dislike it, you can go to the stove room of our Baoyuan Bureau with me to eat! ”

"Stove?"

"That's right! Our Baoyuan Bureau has an independent stove room. ”

Subsequently, Ergouzi specially hired Wang Siqi some women who were in difficulty at home and idle at home, and these people were the family members of the craftsmen of the Baoyuan Bureau, and they came to the Baoyuan Bureau to explain the matter of cooking three meals for these craftsmen, and then led Zhu Gaochi to eat.

But Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and was not in a hurry.

Instead, he said suspiciously: "Is everyone eating here?" ”

"That's not it, there are still many brothers in the Baoyuan Bureau who are responsible for the important matter of minting coins for the imperial court, our Lord Wang said, although the big guys don't do the same job."

"But in the end, they are all brothers of the Baoyuan Bureau."

"Therefore, our Lord Wang has set up another stove room at the mint in the Baoyuan Bureau, but although the place to eat is different, the dishes are the same every day!"

Zhu Gaochi was still curious.

Then he asked, "Then do all the officials within your Baoyuan Bureau eat in such a stove?" ”

"Isn't that right? Every once in a while, you can always see Lord Wang and other ambassadors eating here. ”

......

Qingyuan Bofu.

Wang You is sitting on a rocking chair basking in the sun slowly, of course, the summer sun is a little hot, so it is forgivable to bask in the sun in the gazebo.

The old housekeeper standing on the side introduced the accounts of the house in a serious manner, and if it was in the absence of his uncle on weekdays, this kind of thing could also be put aside first.

But as long as the uncle is at home.

Then you must report the situation in the house to your uncle truthfully according to a monthly cycle.

"I said. This kind of thing, you can't do it, besides... Our big business is not bad for that little bit of silver, you have been in the house for so many years... Can I doubt you? ”

Hearing this, the old butler was a little moved.

But thinking of the situation after checking the accounts and calculating them, he was still a little embarrassed and said: "Uncle, this rule still can't be broken casually, what should be said still has to be said..."

"Say it, say it... Drink tea, I'll listen to you slowly. ”

The old butler looked up, as if he realized that his uncle did not realize something.

So he hurriedly opened the account book in his hand and said loudly: "Uncle.. There are still more than 2,100 taels of silver left in the mansion.."

"What?!"

Before the housekeeper could continue to speak, Wang You almost fell off the rocking chair.

"Why is there only such a little silver, although this time I was a little reckless and didn't ask for the reward silver from the emperor, but that's also because I know that we still have money in our family!"

"Where's the money?"

The old butler then said with a wry smile: "Uncle, this little money is not easy to come by!" A few days ago, I went out and went to Yinzhuang to run errands with some silver tickets. ”

"If the money is still in the house, I'm afraid it won't even be there."

"Where's the silver?"

"Young Master.. The young master took it.."

"What are you going to do! Why don't you stop it! ”

"Uncle.."

Looking at the housekeeper's expression, Wang You hurriedly waved his hand.

I know that what I said is the same as not saying it.

But he still asked unacceptably: "But even so, do you know what this bastard boy is doing with all this silver... At least there should be tens of thousands of taels of silver in the house! ”

"Uncle.. I heard that it was given to the Baoyuan Bureau for expenses. ”

"Good! This kid became an official of the imperial court himself, but he used his family's money to continue to support the yamen of the imperial court. ”

The old housekeeper also nodded hurriedly, after all, how can there be such a reason since ancient times, this young master is such a loser now, I am afraid that the uncle in front of him will not be spared.

So the housekeeper hurriedly said: "What Uncle said is reasonable, how can there be such a truth in this world!" Otherwise, I'll personally go to the Baoyuan Bureau and get all the silver back!" That's all the silver of our Qingyuan Bofu! ”

Wang Yougang was about to nod.

Uneasy, he asked again and said, "Then do you know why the Baoyuan Bureau needs so much silver for use?" ”

"I heard you're building a workshop? To make wine. ”

"Baoyuan Aging?"

"Uncle knows?"

Wang You, who couldn't help but roll his eyes, said angrily: "Your uncle and I don't stay at home all day long, and now there are many discussions about it everywhere in the streets and alleys." ”

"Baoyuan Aging, just hearing the name has nothing to do with the Baoyuan Bureau of my bastard son!"

"Okay.. Let's reduce the expenses in the house, and wait for my money to come down.. Let's talk about it! ”

"Uncle.. Before, because of the poor discipline of the young master, you have been suspended."

Wang You, whose face suddenly changed greatly, hurriedly said: "That.. What? That.. Why don't you go and have a look? Can... No, this kid has just arrived at the Baoyuan Bureau, and the money has been spent, so he can't ask for it back! ”

"Alas! Or not... All over the house! Save money! ”

"Uncle.. The little one got it! ”

Just when the Qingyuan Bofu was trying to save money, outside the stove room of the brewing workshop of the Baoyuan Bureau.

The simmering red and translucent braised pork is constantly steaming, the oil flowers are constantly surging in the clay pot, the aroma of pork makes every craftsman who has just finished work can't help but swallow his saliva, and there is a huge wooden basin full of thick white rice on the side.

"Today's meal is still our Baoyuan Bureau's specialty!"

"Braised pork from Baoyuan Bureau!"

"Good! Good! ”

When the craftsmen heard the words of several women, they hurriedly answered loudly with a smile, and one of the dark-faced craftsmen showed his shining teeth and said, "Hahaha! Since our Lord Wang took office, I feel that I have worked hard every day! ”

Another craftsman took over.

said: "That's not it, after Lord Wang took office, the days of our Baoyuan Bureau are days that we never dreamed of before, three meals a day, and there is meat at once!" ”

"yes!"

Don't have meat? Zhu Gaochi on the side frowned, although he could understand Wang Siqi's idea of improving the treatment of craftsmen, but is it too much for a craftsman to eat so well.

But then...

"Let's go back early after we've had a full meal."

"Me too. Eating a full stomach is just right for digestion and digestion. ”

"I guess there's nothing going on over there, I'll ask if anyone is willing to come over to our side, their craftsmanship is not bad!"

The craftsmen were in high spirits, lined up for dinner, and no one was in a hurry to crowd.
