Fu Jin married: Qing Dynasty first brother asked not to flirt

Chapter 1170 Ben Fujin Can't Read Account Books?

Chapter 1181

When Steward Yang heard Tong Jiaqi's words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then looked at Tong Jiaqi and said hastily, "Fu Jin, slave girl, slave girl doesn't know."

"What's the matter? You don't know? Aren't you in charge? Can you not know?" Tong Jiaqi looked at Steward Yang in front of her, raised her eyes slightly, and then asked with a smile.

Listening to Tong Jiaqi's tone, Steward Yang couldn't figure out what the master meant for a while, so he choked up and said, "Slave, slave really doesn't know what's going on, Fujin, slave really doesn't know."

Steward Yang, as he talked, he changed from standing to kneeling. Tong Jiaqi looked at the person in front of him and thought it was very funny.

Since you don't know, what are you kneeling for?Isn't this a sign of guilty conscience?

Of course, it could also be explained as fear of the majesty of the master.

"What are you doing kneeling? Ben Fujin just said that the kitchen expenses are a bit high, and he didn't blame you." Tong Jiaqi smiled, then stared at Guanshi Yang, and asked, "Tell me, look at our place Let Ben Fujin know how much the family spends in a day, where all the money is spent."

One month, the back kitchen actually used 3000 taels. If it was an embroidery room, it would be fine. The value of this silk and satin is different, and I can see it and feel it.

But the back kitchen has three meals a day. There are only a hundred people in this house. Even if the expenses of the servants are counted, 1000 taels on weekdays is not bad. Now the average daily cost is more than 100 taels , Some poor families can spend less than 100 taels of silver in a year or two.

Tong Jiaqi heard from Hailan before that this poor family can only marry a wife for less than ten taels of silver, and more than 100 taels of silver can buy a house in the town. In this house, I can eat a house a day?Even if there are many people, it doesn't make sense.

Hearing Tong Jiaqi's question, although Manager Yang felt a little uneasy, he still took a deep breath, then looked at Tong Jiaqi and said with a smile, "Fu Jin, it's cold in winter, and the expenses of our back kitchen will increase. A little bit, coal and the like, and this year’s cold weather, the vegetables are also more expensive than in previous years, and the chicken, duck and fish meat, we have also changed suppliers, what is the price? They’ve all gone up a little, a little here, a little there, all together, I’m afraid it’s too much.”

"That's right, a little bit here, a little bit there, can actually give you almost twice as much money. Steward Yang, do you think that Ben Fujin can't understand the account book, or do you think that Ben Fujin can't read the account book?" Tong Jiaqi pointed her finger On the wooden table, there was a rhythmic knock, and then he looked at Guanshi Yang and asked.

In fact, Tong Jiaqi was also to blame for this matter.

She pays close attention to the outside business, and spends most of her energy on the outside accounts. Anyway, the family has tens of thousands of taels of silver throughout the year, which is not much more, so she has an idea in mind. I don't care much about it.

Especially this year, because of the prince's incident, Tong Jiaqi has two big brains. Fortunately, many businesses are slowly getting on the right track. The expenses are still normal before, but since the second half of the year, the expenses of the back kitchen have increased a lot.
