Splendid spring returns

Chapter 56
I don't understand, who knows what rules you have?
But do people dare to say that?Naturally, they can only bow their heads and say "yes" one by one.On the other hand, the group of people who were excluded on weekdays, their hearts were alive, and they thought to themselves: I don't know what kind of business this Aunt Xin is doing?If she doesn't eat flattery and flattery, and only focuses on doing things, wouldn't it be our chance?
Dozens of people had their own thoughts. Xin Nian looked at the expressions on the faces of these people. Fang Shen said: "I am not an unreasonable person, and I also know the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. But there is a truth in everything. The speed, my rule, is that this speed cannot be exceeded. What did the Li family say just now? She is old and can't even remember the most basic situation of these absentees. She is so old and confused, let alone such an important and complicated place as the kitchen. I'm afraid you won't be able to do the job as an idle job. You can't say that, you should let go of the job of managing the kitchen."

There was an uproar from the crowd.I know that Aunt Xin is not easy to provoke, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.This is too ruthless, too disrespectful of martial arts, you should at least give him a chance to reform himself, how can you beat him up as soon as you come up?Do you want to lose your military spirit?Do you still want to maintain stability?The kitchen is an important place, once there is a commotion, won't your Aunt Xin be afraid of being overwhelmed?
I thought so in my heart, but everyone's necks were shorter than turtles.It's hard to find such a job in the kitchen that is not tiring, decent and can steal food.Don't look at these people secretly staring and curling their lips, but their physical reactions are honest.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family couldn't stand anymore, knelt down with a "plop", and said with tears in her eyes, "Aunt Xin, let me think about it, let me think about it again, these eighteen people..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xinghua walking over with the ledger, and Xin Nian waved his hand: "You stop first." After speaking, he looked at Xinghua and asked softly, "How is it?"

"Back to grandma, the first thing I look at is coal, which is [-] catties short, and then rice..."

Xinghua leaned in front of Xin Nian, her voice was very low, but the women in front of them strained their ears and could barely hear the general idea.

Li's daughter-in-law's complexion was no longer green, and she became pale as paper, but after a while, her kneeling body softened into a puddle of mud.

Xin Nian looked up at her, stroked the ledger lightly, and said lightly, "There are a lot of shortfalls in it. From the Li family, do you still feel the need to think about it?"

"Aunt...I..."

Li's daughter-in-law couldn't say anything, she could only kowtow.Only to hear Xin Nian said indifferently: "This account is so bad, don't expect me to take the blame for you, go to your grandma, Xinghua has written down the deficit clearly, you show the account book to grandma, as for how to pay it, I don't care, anyway, from now on, from the Li family, you are no longer in the kitchen."

After finishing speaking, he threw the account book on Li's daughter-in-law, turned to Xinghua and said, "From now on, according to the existing one, re-register and compile the book to see if it is enough for a few days. Grandma reapproved silver to buy."

"Yes."

Xinghua promised that she also had a general understanding of the kitchen on weekdays, so she chose two honest women who had talked to her before, and went with her.

Here, Xin Nian said to the rest of the people: "I said just now that the kitchen is really outrageous these days. I didn't understand it at first, but when I came here today, I understand it in my heart. It turns out that you group of servants still put The masters are divided into three, six, and nine grades, such a mean and stupid behavior, it can only be corrected slowly."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, walked slowly and said: "I put the ugly words first, since I have to correct it, I will never give up halfway, if someone is not convinced, stand up now, I have nothing to say, and I will allow you to go to grandma's place by yourself Changing errands. How? Is anyone leaving?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they shook their heads together after all.Xin Nian smiled coldly, and said lightly: "I know what you are thinking. You want to endure the humiliation first, and maybe you will send me away one day. Anyway, if you want to dream, go for it. Anyway, I can tell you what to say." I've said it all, don't cry and say I'm harsh, if you want to leave then, I may not be so easy to talk to."

So you are still easy to talk about?What would it be like to be difficult to speak?
The women who were close to the Li family's daughter-in-law on weekdays were beating their hearts, but they were really reluctant to part with this job.Just as he was in doubt, Xin Nian suddenly stood still and said in a deep voice: "From now on, it doesn't matter whoever was close to Li's daughter-in-law and who was estranged from her in the past, I only care about your ability to handle things. The Li family cannot stay, and the next step is to elect a new steward. I will give you three days to prepare. After three days, I will come to the assessment. Whoever wins the assessment will be the new steward. During these three days, the kitchen will be run by Du Sanniang will take care of it temporarily. Alright, what else do you want to ask?"

The words made everyone's thoughts come alive again, and a woman stepped forward and said cautiously: "I don't know what my aunt is going to test? Can you tell us first? It's also good for everyone to be fully prepared."

Xin Nian smiled, and said leisurely: "I don't need to tell you this, you just think about it, what do you need to be familiar with to be a kitchen steward? I will test these things. If you don't even know this, it means that you are not qualified to be a steward. Don't waste your time thinking about it."

Everyone bowed their heads and curled their lips, feeling a little unconvinced in their hearts, and secretly said: "Sounding high-sounding, it's not that you want to be cronyistic, and you don't set standards. Whoever you want to be in charge at that time, it's not up to you to decide."

Then I thought about it: alas!Who is not like this?The Liao family used Li's daughter-in-law because she belonged to her and was very flattering on weekdays.This mansion has always been like this, so why should we insist on fairness and fairness.

Thinking of it this way, all the grievances in my heart disappeared.

Of course, there are also a few daughters-in-law with good knowledge who still actively want to compete for the position of steward, because they go home at night to discuss with their families, and try to think about what kind of talents and qualities are needed to be a steward, not to mention these.

Just talking about Xin Nian, when I returned to Qingliangyuan, I just drank a cup of tea when I heard Xinghua puzzled: "I don't understand how I think about it, since I want to test the talents of those in the kitchen, why don't I take the test on the spot?" ? Ask them to go back to prepare, but don't tell them what to prepare, it's better to finish the exam on the spot."

Xin Nian smiled and said, "What test? I just made it up."

Xinghua had a look of "I knew it", suppressed a smile and said, "Why is this? Auntie is so angry that they bow down and deliberately deceive them?"

"Not at all."

Xin Nian shook his head, put down his teacup and said slowly: "In my mind, I intend to let Du Sanniang be in charge. You said that she is kind and chivalrous. In the past, when so many people stepped on us, she still Dare to come forward and give us something, it shows that she is kind-hearted and has ideas, and her popularity should be good, otherwise she should be pushed out because of her helping us. Most importantly, she is also very good at cooking, yes The leader in the kitchen, because of these, I think she is very suitable for this job."
