Houfu businesswoman

Chapter 1668 It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice! (3)

Therefore, not to mention the crowds of people in front of the internal affairs warehouse, it is also crowded with people shouting: "It has been suppressed for three months and no monthly regulations have been issued. Today, everything will be published. If you don't, you can't do it. The children and the elderly are here." What do you eat at home?"

"That's right, why don't you pay the monthly bills? Now we don't even have food. It's okay for us to sell ourselves as slaves. The majestic Prince Su's mansion can't let the slaves starve to death, right?"

"That's right, what time is it today, there is no lunch, and the big kitchen said that there is no food left, so why didn't you buy it for so many days? I haven't heard of any slaves who are hungry and deflated when they are on duty. If it spreads, you won’t be afraid to make people laugh!”

"Distribute monthly bills and provide food. We have no other requirements, just these two points!"

"Yes, just these two points."

When Qinhui and Siyang came, they saw this scene, butler Xin Er wiped his forehead full of sweat and said, "Oh, my aunts, brothers and sisters, what are you making a fuss about? Didn’t we all talk about buying a house? This is the master’s order, since it is the master’s order, we just wait, there must be something wrong with it, right?”

"It's useless for you to come to me desperately. Call me, what am I? Can I be the master of the master? I have no money or food. You should go to the master to make trouble. How can I show my patience here!"

This Steward Xin Er is from the ancestors, but Steward Xin Er married the cousin of Sister Qing. With these two layers of relationship, this Steward Xin Er has been living in the palace all the time, so he is like a fish in water. Look at this person The purple brocade gown, the belt around the waist is embellished with a piece of jade, and there is also a jade pendant with a good water head hanging on the waist, and a red gold crown on the head. I don’t know where I thought there was a county magistrate.

Butler Chu was in charge of both internal and external affairs, while Butler Xin Er was in charge of the inner treasury and purchasing houses.

Qinhui has been the official housekeeper for two or three months, and she has rarely seen this housekeeper Xin Er show up. It is really strange to see this one.

After Qinhui and Siyang talked a few words, Siyang understood that this guy slaughtered the darts of that family and searched for it. It is estimated that it can feed half a street of ordinary people for two or three years.

So today is really a good day, let's make trouble.

At this moment, Nanny Jing from the big kitchen also came here and said, "What about Housekeeper Xin Er now? The masters haven't found the food yet. Why are you still busy here?"

The stewards of other functional departments were unwilling, and said one after another: "It is also a big deal to issue monthly bills. Why can't housekeeper Xin Er be here? Besides, Madam Jing made it very clear last time that the little princess made it clear that all the master's meals are It's halved, and from the day I said it, the little princess will lead by example, and each meal will not exceed ten kinds of hot and cold staple food soup and porridge,"

"That's the little princess, everyone can do it, why can't you, the chief steward of the big kitchen, do it? At that time, the little princess said in front of everyone that if there is no food, she will be hungry. Now you shout What are you calling, didn’t you see that we are busy collecting monthly money?”

This is the old steward of the carriage and stable, with a displeased expression on his face, who cares who you Madam Jing is, spray it first, and then talk about it, besides, their family has been in charge of the carriage and stable for generations, and they are all from the ancestors, This old man is stubborn, who is he afraid of!

The old gardener in the gardener's room said unceremoniously: "Mother Jing, you are also an old man in the house. We are all of low status. It is not as good as you have the background of Sister Qing, but at least we know how to listen to you." According to the master, do the errands well, and do what the master asks, "

"Mother Jing, I don't know who the master is in your eyes, but the master in my eyes is the old ancestor prince and concubine, the little prince and the little princess, and the other masters are naturally at the bottom. Even if this kind of ranking is taken to the outside world, it is difficult to think about it." No one will say any gossip, this is Prince Su's Mansion, so it is natural to obey the orders of the big masters, "

"Although you, Sister Jing, have been in charge of the big kitchen for many years, in my opinion, you just do things upside down and don't know what to do. If you have anything to ask, you can ask Sister Qing, but Sister Qing is not the master after all. You can't do everything. Look to Mother Qing for advice, the little princess said it so clearly before, it's not like you don't know, but you still follow the old way, now something goes wrong, who do you turn to?"

The servants and servants of the other masters also followed suit: "That is, since Sister Qing is so good, Sister Jing can ask Sister Qing to bring out some food. Isn't our food and drink settled?"

"That's right, it's such a simple matter, why can't someone as big as Madam Jing not be able to handle it well!"

"No, it's said that Madam Jing is in charge of the big kitchen, but isn't that the case in many places in the mansion? These people are relatives of Madam Qing. I really don't know who is in charge of this palace. Why not invite Madam Qing? Come out, Sister Qing is so good at giving advice on weekdays, and now she will definitely be able to solve the problem of our monthly allowance for meals."

Qin Hui and Si Yang stood aside and laughed, while Mother Qing, who had already heard the news, heard these words, and sat in the sedan chair without moving, neither going back nor approaching, it was just that far away Wait and see from afar.

At this time, Madam Jing's face was darkened by the spray, but it was noon soon, she was the one who was scolded and cleaned up for not being able to get food, could she not be in a hurry.

In my heart, I hated the little princess for being so bad. She dug such a big hole for herself, for the big kitchen, and for all the masters in Prince Su's mansion. It's really hateful!

The big kitchen is indeed a cook. The cooks are already used to being extravagant, so they didn’t think about it at all. Yesterday, the cooks under Mammy Yuan cleaned up and used all the leftovers. This morning, there was a little miscellaneous rice left over to cook porridge. , a little pickles were served, and the masters were not happy to return them, saying that they made something, how dare they make such a rough, unnutritious, and fancy staple food, and quickly get some expensive food.

It was only now that Nanny Jing was scared. She went to the food storage in the big kitchen, and there was nothing in it. It was even cleaner than her face. This time, Nanny Jing was really dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. ?

So she was still the same as every time something happened. The first thing that came to her mind was of course, Mother Qing. She went to see Mother Qing, and Mother Qing gave her an idea. A little bit is a little bit, and it's okay to handle today's lunch.

Second, if the first idea fails, let her go to the inner treasury as soon as possible, and then see if there is any food in the inner treasury.

If it’s the best, hurry up and take it back to the big kitchen to cook. If you don’t find Chuda’s butler as soon as possible, go out to buy it immediately, so that the people in the house won’t starve.

Sister Qing also came up with a third idea, asking Sister Jing to encourage the people who bought the house in the big kitchen to unite with several other yards who wanted to eat, and take people to each door to see if they can go out. Jin put it on first, and reconciled the account when he came back.

Therefore, a three-pronged strategy was launched at the same time. Nurse Jing was running and jolting, and her hair was messed up all morning. As a result, the house buyers were arrested by the guards just after making trouble. This plan was in vain. .

Then he hurriedly searched his food store, and searched everything from the inside to the outside. There were only a few rotten cabbage and potatoes, which were not enough for two people. There are thousands of people in the palace, what should we do?

So she hurried to the inner treasury, but caught up with everyone's run on, Jing Jingma's face was ugly, she couldn't agree with what these people said, but nothing could be solved right now, she was anxious of.

At this moment, I don't know who shouted, "The little prince and the little princess are here!"

On this occasion, Qinhui and Siyang naturally came out first, and the father had already gone to the next room, so it was not too late to appear when it was time to appear.

Everyone gave way one after another. Steward Chu and Steward Tianya followed behind the young prince and princess. Butler Xin Er was smart. When he saw that it was the master who was coming, he quickly got up and gave the table, chairs and benches that were arranged for the monthly payment to him. The two masters sat, and then flirtatiously brushed away the non-existent dust with their sleeves.

This kind of demeanor made Qin Hui not optimistic about this person. When is it now, is there any use in cursing the master if he doesn't solve the problem?

The others didn't care so much, they started talking in a hurry, and finally Jingmao took advantage of a gap to quickly talk about the big kitchen, and knelt down and said: "The little princess is all the old slave's fault, it's the old slave who didn't listen. Your words led to the current result, please punish the little princess, no matter how the little princess punishes the old servant, just don’t let the masters and slaves starve, they can’t bear it, little princess, please Punish me, it's none of your business."

Qin Hui suddenly looked at her behavior, and remembered the behavior of Nanny Qing last time in front of the ancestor's door. It was really similar, and she took everything over first, and then let everyone remember her bad behavior. , remember her goodness, she really doesn't suffer a little loss, but today I will let her suffer all the losses of her life.

So Qin Hui asked calmly: "Nurse Jing is the steward of the big kitchen, and has her own regulations for the big kitchen. My princess' words are like air. Why can't my princess understand what you said?"
