Rebirth: Remarrying the Emperor's Uncle

Chapter 174 Tied her up! (two more)
Mother Zhang knelt on the ground, "Back to Miss, the old slave bought it with his own money. The old slave has a son, and he has returned his good registration with the grace of the master. Now he is working as a servant in the government office, and he is about to take the next step." Time. The old slave gritted his teeth and gave up a year's monthly money to buy a few bags of good tea and a stick of ginseng, and wanted him to take it to order. You searched for the things before they were sent out."

Han Youning smiled, "So that's the case, I was wrong to blame you."

She raised her hand and said, "Mother Zhang got up to talk. There are still people waiting for you to pay the money in the big kitchen, so you should report first."

Mother Zhang got up, and the confidence on her face returned.

"Miss, today I sent two hundred catties of pork, fifteen jin a catty, three liang of silver. Two hundred jin of polished round-grained rice, ten jin a catty, two taels of silver. Two hundred catties of eggs, one liang of silver. Ten chickens, ten ducks, two taels of silver. All kinds of vegetables are two taels of money, fish and shrimp fresh goods are four taels of three taels of silver. I bought another thousand catties of silver frost charcoal, which is twenty two taels of silver, and two thousand catties of black charcoal. , totaling twelve taels of silver. The total is forty-seven taels of silver."

She spoke quite quickly, and when she finished she stood there waiting, her fish eyes rolling.

These young ladies raised in deep boudoirs deal with rouge and gouache on weekdays, and they probably don't even know what raw rice and raw meat look like, so they insist on pretending here.Didn't he just go through the motions and obediently give her the money in the end?
Han Youning said, "Even if the charcoal fire is removed, there are more than ten taels of silver, so the daily expenses cost so much money?"

"Miss is not in charge of the family and does not know the price of firewood and rice. The food and drink of the hundreds of people in our inner house come from this big kitchen. If you add this today, you will add that tomorrow, and you have to use silver for each of them. Today it is more than forty taels. If you want to add sea cucumbers and abalones tomorrow, you can use one hundred taels."

Han Youning said in a low voice, "Guan Wen, can you hear me clearly?"

"Go back to Missy, I heard you clearly."

The hall door opened, the brocade curtain was lifted, and Guanshi Wen limped in.

He bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a blank expression, "Beizhi just came back from the big kitchen. Zhang's mother reported two hundred catties of japonica rice, but what the kitchen received was catties of japonica rice and catties of indica rice, and indica rice was only worth % of japonica rice." The price. The silver frost charcoal is not a thousand catties, but five hundred catties. The missing five hundred catties are replaced with black charcoal. There are other chickens, ducks and fishes that are not as good as the catty, and the price is % higher than the market price More than that. Counting the inside and outside, there is an extra twenty taels of silver."

Han Youning smiled, "I understand why Zhang's mother can afford good tea and ginseng. This day, I can earn twenty taels of silver, and the kitchen has more than one thousand taels of silver in a month's expenditure. You don't need to say anything." You need to earn five hundred taels of silver. What is that bit of silver worth?"

Zhang's mother clutched the hem of her clothes and muttered, "Eldest lady can't do that. The reason why this thing is expensive is that it is better than the ones sold on the market. If the old slave can really get so much, wouldn't it be that the family saved a lot of money?" It’s the golden mountain and the silver mountain.”

Han Youning's face suddenly turned cold, and he slapped the ledger in his hand, "The things just delivered are here, and the ledger is also here, and you are still calling for injustice! I don't know, what other calculations are there! Grandpa Guo The sum of the salaries of each position is less than five hundred taels of silver a month, which is not as much as a slave like you! I understand why the manor is always crying about being poor!"

Mother Zhang didn't look afraid, "Miss didn't believe in the old slave, so she went to ask the old lady. The old slave has been with the old lady for half of her life, and the old lady always knows what the old slave is like."

Han Youning sneered, "You still use the old lady to blackmail me, can the old lady tolerate such a greedy slave like you? Wen Guanshi, tied her up and locked her in the woodshed!"

"Yes!"

Wen Guanshi stepped forward and grabbed her arm, dragging her outside.

Mother Zhang cried out, "Miss, even if you come to housekeeper, the old slave is the old lady's servant, there is no reason for you to beat and scold me!"

Han Youning said coldly, "Old lady, I'll tell you what to do. Wen Guanshi, send someone to take care of it, and don't let anyone see her!"

Wen Guanshi responded in a deep voice, and quickly dragged people out of the conference hall.

The mothers in charge in the meeting hall were all silent, looking down at their noses and hearts, and no one dared to make any small moves.

Han Youning looked at them coldly, "Those who want to pay money, those who receive goods, and those who ask for ideas, it is best to accept your little thoughts, and first think about whether you can fool me before you speak. Don't think that the government is leaving You won't be able to turn around anymore, the only person in this entire mansion who can't live without is the Duke!"

"Yes……"

In the next report, the mothers in charge became much more obedient.

The accounts reported by those responsible for purchasing from various places were much less than those in the account book. Although there was some moisture to some extent, it was not so outrageous.

Han Youning only picked a few mistakes and asked them to correct them, then handed over the money.

Chang's mother on the stove looked embarrassed, "Miss, it's not that the servants are pleading for others, but the three meals a day, the morning and evening snacks and soup in this big kitchen consume a lot. Set up."

Han Youning said, "It's easy, Mrs. Quan, can you do this job?"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Chang's mother lost her voice, "Miss, she is just a careless woman who cleans, how can she understand this!"

Han Youning glanced at her coldly, "She's just in charge of sweeping and cleaning. She doesn't care about serving the master in the hall, but she knows that the hall is cold and burns charcoal in advance, and knows that the master will make tea in advance when he is thirsty. Xin Xin, what can't be done well? You are decent, but you just stand there and complain, who wants to give orders to the hall?"

Mother Chang lowered her head, not daring to speak.

This young lady is not easy to mess with, if you are careless, don't involve yourself in it.

The whole woman was stunned for a long time, and carefully chewed what the eldest lady said, before she could be sure that she was indeed talking about herself.

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Miss Xie takes it seriously, this servant can do it!"

Han Youning became a lot more friendly when talking with Mrs. Quan, "Now I have to call you Quan's mother. Go to the big kitchen and recalculate today's money and come to me for payment. These delivery people can use it if they can." , if you can’t use it, you can change it to another one.”

Mother Quan kowtowed her head three times in a row, "Miss, don't worry, this old servant will finish the job well!"

Han Youning smiled, "I know. Go."

Mother Quan walked out of the conference hall in a daze like she was stepping on cotton.

Han Youning went to the warehouse to check with Mother Chen and Mother Lian who were in charge of the warehouse.

The result can be imagined, Rao gave them a day to fill in the gaps, but in the end, many things had nowhere to go.

Han Youning was also polite, and asked Wen Guanshi to tie him up and imprison him.

She herself held the hand stove, and Shi Shiran went to Chunhui Hall.
