Chapter 174: Tie Her Up! (2nd Update)
Mother Zhang knelt on the ground, "Miss Hui, the old slave bought it with his own money. The old slave had a son, and he was given back his good status by the grace of his master, and now he is on an errand in the government, and it is time to take a step. The old slave gritted his teeth and gave up a year's monthly money to buy a few bags of good tea and a bottle of ginseng, and wanted him to take it to take it up and down. You searched for it before it was delivered."
Han Youning smiled, "I see, it's me who blames you."
She raised her hand and said, "Mother Zhang got up and spoke. Now there are people waiting for you to pay the money in the big kitchen, so let's come first."
Zhang's mother climbed up, and the confidence on her face returned.
"Miss Yu, today I will send two hundred catties of pork, one catty, three taels of silver. Two hundred catties of japonica rice, ten wen and one catty, two taels of silver. Two hundred pounds of eggs, two taels of silver. Ten chickens and ten ducks, two taels of silver. All kinds of vegetables and vegetables are two taels and two dollars, and fish and shrimp are four taels or three dollars. The silver frost charcoal bought another thousand catties, which is twenty-two taels, and the black charcoal is two thousand catties, which is twelve taels of silver. Forty-seven pieces of silver."
She spoke quite quickly, and when she had finished speaking, she stood there waiting, her eyes rolling.
These eldest ladies raised in the boudoir deal with rouge gouache on weekdays, and I am afraid that they don't even know what raw rice and raw meat look like, so they have to pretend here. In the end, didn't you go through the motions and obediently give her the silver?
Han Youning said, "Even if the charcoal fire is removed, there are more than 20 taels of silver, and the daily expenses are so much silver?"
"The eldest lady doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, and the food and drink of hundreds of people in our inner house are all from this big kitchen. Today it is more than 40 taels, and if you want to buy sea cucumber and abalone tomorrow, you will use 100 taels."
Han Youning said lightly, "Steward Wen, can you hear clearly?"
"Miss Hui, I heard you clearly."
The door opened, the curtain opened, and the clerk limped in.
He bowed and said expressionlessly, "I just came back from the big kitchen, and Mother Zhang reported 200 catties of japonica rice, but what I received in the kitchen was 100 catties of japonica rice, 100 catties of indica rice, and indica rice is only worth 30% of the price of japonica rice. The silver frost charcoal is not a thousand catties, catties, and the missing catties are replaced with black charcoal. There are other chickens, ducks and fish meat that are not more than two pairs of catties, and the price is more than 30% higher than the market price. Counting it inside and out, there are twenty taels of silver over.
Han Youning smiled, "I kind of understand why Mother Zhang can afford good tea ginseng. On this day, you will have a profit of twenty taels of silver, and if you have an expenditure of more than one thousand taels of silver in a month, you will need two taels of silver. What's that money?"
Mother Zhang grabbed the hem of her clothes and muttered, "The eldest lady can't be counted like this, this thing is expensive for its own reason, and it is stronger than what is sold on the market." If the old slave can really get so much, won't his family have saved mountains of gold and silver?"
Han Youning's face suddenly turned cold, and he slapped the account book in his hand hard, "The things that were just sent are placed there, and the account book is also here, and you are still shouting wronged!" I don't know, what else is the algorithm! The sum of the silver of Grandpa Guo's various positions adds up to two silver a month, but it is not as much as you earn as a minion! I can understand why the house shouts poor all day long!"
Zhang's mother didn't look afraid, "The eldest lady didn't believe in the old slave, so she went to the old lady to ask, the old slave has been with the old lady for half her life, and the old lady always knows what the old slave is."
Han Youning sneered, "You still use the old lady to blackmail me, can the old lady tolerate such an insatiable slave as you?" The clerk tied her up and put her in the firewood room!"
"Yes!"
The clerk stepped forward and grabbed her arm and dragged her out.
Mother Zhang shouted in a lost voice, "Miss, even if you come to take care of the house, the old slave is the slave of the old lady, and there is no reason for you to beat and scold Faluo!"
Han Youning said coldly, "Old lady, I'll say it, the clerk, send someone to take care of it, and don't let her see it!"
The clerk responded in a deep voice, and quickly dragged people out of the conference hall.
The housekeepers and mothers in the council hall were all silent, with their heads down, their noses and noses, and their hearts, and no one dared to make any small moves.
Han Youning was cold
Leng looked at them, "Next, those who want to pay silver, those who receive things, and those who ask for ideas, it is best to accept your careful thoughts, and first think about whether you can fool me before you speak." Don't think that the Guogong Mansion will not be able to move without you, in this entire mansion, the only person who can't leave the Guogong Mansion is the Guogong Mansion!"
"Yes......"
In the next ceremony, the housekeepers and mothers were much more obedient.
The few who were in charge of purchasing everywhere reported much less than the accounts in the account books, although there was some moisture, but they were not so outrageous.
Han Youning only picked out a few mistakes and asked them to correct them, so he sent the money down.
Chang's mother on the stove looked embarrassed, "Miss, it's not that the slave maid intercedes for others, it's just that the soup for three meals a day in the morning and evening in this big kitchen consumes a lot, and no one who knows the root knows how to buy it, I'm afraid it's going to be messed up."
Han Youning said, "This is easy to do, Quan-in-law, can you do this errand?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Mother Chang lost her voice and said, "Miss, she's just a rough mother-in-law who sprinkles and sweeps, how can she understand this!"
Han Youning glanced at her coldly, "She's just a person in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, and the affairs of serving the master in the hall are not in her charge, but she knows that the hall is cold and burns charcoal in advance, and she knows that the master will be thirsty and make tea in advance, so with this thought, what is not good to do?" You are decent, but you just stand there and complain, who wants to tell the things in this room?"
Chang's mother lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
This eldest lady is not easy to mess with, if you are not careful, don't put yourself in it.
The whole mother-in-law was stunned for a long time, and chewed what the eldest lady said, so that she was sure that what she said was indeed herself.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Miss Xie values it, the slave does it!"
Han Youning and Quan Pozi became much more amiable when they spoke, "Now I have to call you Quan's mother." You go to the big kitchen, first recalculate today's silver, come to me to settle the money, these deliveries, you can use them, if you can't use them, you can exchange them for other homes."
The whole mother kowtowed three times in a row, "Don't worry, Miss, the old slave will definitely do his errand!"
Han Youning smiled, "I know. Go for it."
The whole mother stepped on cotton under her feet, and suddenly walked out of the council room.
Han Youning went to the warehouse with Chen's mother and Lian's mother, who were in charge of the warehouse, to count.
As you can imagine, Rao gave them a day to fill the gap, and in the end, many things were gone.
Han Youning was also not polite, and asked the clerk to tie up the person and detain him.
She herself held the hand stove, and Shi Shiran went to Chunhui Hall.
