Chapter 76 The Housekeeper Reform (3)
Three days later, they handed over the envelopes containing the reserve price to the old lady.The old lady disassembled it in front of everyone and showed it one by one. In the end, Mrs. Zheng won the bid.She was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank her.

The old lady said with a smile: "There is no need to thank you, it will be up to you to be good or bad in the future. But let's say the ugly thing first, if you don't pay attention, or if you make a mistake in entertaining guests in the house, don't blame me for changing people!"

"Please don't worry, old lady. When has this servant made a mistake in the kitchen for many years? Right now, this profit and loss is in the hands of this servant, so I will pay more attention to it." She replied with a busy smile.

Ruoxi took out the document that she had prepared in advance, and asked her to read it carefully, and if there was no problem, she would sign and sign it. Here is the grandma stamping it.

In this way, the kitchen will be rented out, and the crew will still be the same, but the monthly money will be managed by Mrs. Zheng.She is also a clever master, with Ruoxi's suggestion, she imitated the wages of restaurants outside.The monthly money for the scoop is different from that of Qiedun, and the one who delivers the food and washes the dishes is different.If you do a good job, you will be rewarded at the end of the month. On the contrary, if you break the dishes, you will have to pay money, and you will be deducted from wages for those things in the kitchen.However, within a few days, the whole atmosphere in the kitchen was quite different. No one was lazy and no one dared to fill their pockets.

Sister-in-law Zheng's price was half of the original cost, and the grandma added five taels of silver to each master with the old lady's consent, and kept it for adding vegetables.Calculated in this way, I saved a lot of money in a month.Sister-in-law Zheng was afraid that the masters would have a bad reaction, so she put a lot of effort into the dishes, and the color and aroma were even better than before.

She does all the shopping in person, and often walks a lot to buy cheaper dishes.She stared at the kitchen all day, and there was nothing wasted.After a month, after calculating the accounts, he made more than ten taels of silver.She works as the steward's daughter-in-law in the kitchen, and her monthly salary is only one tael, no matter how much she puts it in her pocket, she can't reach this amount.Count with your fingers, ten taels a month, 120 taels a year, oh my god, isn't this a fortune!
In this way, she worked harder, walking with wind all over her body and smiling more sincerely when she saw the master.The masters have five taels of silver in their hands every month, enough to eat whatever they want, and no one complains.

Only Qin Da, the comprador in the mansion, was full of resentment, but he had nowhere to vent it.He was single-handedly picked up by the third wife, and his daughter-in-law was originally the companion of the third wife and died of illness the year before last.

This Qin University is in charge of purchasing in the inner courtyard. He has earned enough oil and water for so many years, but he is stingy with the servants around him.He bought real estate outside, and there are two concubines alone.The daughter-in-law died crying in front of the third wife, and said affectionately that she would not continue.The third wife was very moved when she saw it, and said that he valued friendship.But the people outside the second door don't know that he is addicted to wine and sex, he has visited all the famous brothels in the capital, and his daughter-in-law died of a romantic disease because of him!His hypocrisy is just acting, for fear that he will lose someone to talk to in front of the third wife, and lose his job.

Now that he has been divided into powers, everyone is gloating about his misfortune, and some people who want him to step down even blame him.One day, he was drunk and teased for a few words, then he came to the flower hall drunk to ask for an explanation.

The eldest grandma and the second grandma went to inspect the kitchen, where Ruoxi was writing some accounts.She frowned when she heard the sound of arguing outside, as if she still vaguely heard the movement of a man.

"Go out and have a look." She told Lue to go out and see who it was.

Unexpectedly, before Lue could go out, Qin Dashi barged in, followed by two little girls who didn't stop her.Seeing that he smelled of alcohol all over, Lue saw that the eldest grandma and second grandma were not in front of her, fearing that Ruoxi would not be able to be deterred, she hurriedly slipped out to find someone.

Ruoxi frowned, sat on the couch without moving, stared at Qin Da without words, waved at the little girl and ordered them to leave.

Every time Qin Da came in, he would reply to the eldest grandma, thinking that only the eldest grandma was scary in this flower hall, but now that Ruoxi stared at him like this, he felt his back getting chills, and the wine suddenly woke up halfway.He hurriedly looked away and saluted, and muttered "Hi girl".

"Qin comprador has something to come in at this time? If it's important, let's wait for the eldest grandma and second grandma to come back. If it's not important, let's talk about it now." Ruoxi didn't order the little girl to serve tea, but picked up the teacup on the case table and sipped it by herself.Looking at Qin Da's appearance, she felt a little strange, and it seemed that he came in to ask the teacher for his crime.Since he didn't respect the three of them as masters, let him know how awesome they are!

Qin Da glanced at Ruoxi, and thought in his heart: Anyway, I didn't want to be calm when I came in this time. It's just right that the powerful role of Grandma is not here, so as not to be held hostage.Simply quarrel with the nine girls, let them know their temper, so as to save them from dividing their power later.The big deal is to say that you drank too much afterwards, and kneel down to plead guilty and kowtow a few times!

Thinking of this, he straightened his back, stared round his eyes and asked Ruoxi, "The slave has worked as a comprador in Han's house for half his life, and I ask myself that there is nothing wrong with it. I don't know where I offended the master to push out the slave? The slave has always done things in the right way." According to the master's instructions, if the master doesn't like it, just say it, so that the slave can understand."

"Why do you exclude you?" Ruoxi's half-smile made his eyes flash.

"The slaves have always been very careful when buying ingredients for the kitchen. Now Sister-in-Law Zheng used half of the money to cover it. They all said that the slaves don't know how much they have embezzled. The slaves have been loyal for so many years, and they have never put a penny in their pockets. Listen After such gossip and gossip, I even give up. Now that the slave has no face to continue to be a comprador, please ask the girl to choose another confidant." He looked wronged and angry, and if outsiders saw him, they would think he was being bullied by his master.

"Oh? Is this what Qin's comprador thinks? I see." After finishing speaking, Ruoxi continued to lower her head to copy the account books, and ignored him.

He froze in place, not knowing what to do, what kind of response was this?It was not lukewarm, he felt that he had punched hard, but it was like hitting a ball of cotton, and there was no life left!

After a while, Ruoxi raised her head, and asked suspiciously: "Qin comprador has other things to do? Isn't it already finished? Why haven't you left yet?"

"Slave... Slave feels aggrieved, please let the girl decide!" His anger disappeared, and there was a bit of nonsense in his tone.

"Hehe." Ruoxi laughed when she heard this, "It turns out that Qin comprador didn't want to continue, but came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes! Alright, I'll let you understand now!" After speaking, he threw the paper in his hand.

Qin Da picked it up, and when he saw the circled area on it, his expression changed drastically.

Qin Da drank a few ounces of cat piss and was teased, and then entered the second door with a little bit of alcohol to ask for an explanation.It never occurred to him that the eldest grandma and the second grandma were not in the flower hall, which was just in his heart.Originally, he thought that among the three, Ruoxi was the best one, she didn't have a temper!Unexpectedly, just the look in her eyes made Qin Da feel uncomfortable, and felt a little regretful.
