Chapter 74 The Intention of a Drunkard

Although all the kitchen affairs have been handed over, since the accounts are still in Yun Qianxue's hands, she must still be keeping track of the kitchen's accounts.

Originally she only had to keep one account, but now that each hospital has its own kitchen, each hospital must have an account book to record purchases and consumption.

Of course, the more important thing is that the cost of preparing meals in a large kitchen will be much less than that of each hospital opening its own small kitchen.

The more you spend in the house, the less you can take away.

Therefore, all those who “can get it” will want to be diligent and thrifty!

On the day of the kitchen renovation, there was no need for Yun Qianxue to specifically complain. Concubine Yun patted the table and sent someone to send Gu Mingshu to Anhe Hall for questioning.

Gu Mingshu went to Anhe Hall like a normal person, and walked in with a smile: "Greetings to our ancestors! Did you enjoy your lunch? My granddaughter-in-law specially gave you the freshest ingredients. I think the chef should have more after cooking.

Jinzhou flavor.”

She acted coquettishly and calmly, as if they had never had any disagreements before.

Concubine Yun couldn't help but secretly praise her as "good guy" for her shamelessness.

Concubine Yun didn't waste any time talking to Gu Mingshu. She directly asked Aunt Zhang to bring out the family rules and asked Gu Mingshu to read the eighth rule.

In her previous life, Gu Mingshu copied all the family rules and found flowers. She could recite them with her eyes closed.

"When running a household, you need to remember: Success comes from diligence and frugality, failure comes from luxury..."

After Gu Mingshu finished reciting it, Concubine Yun asked Yun Qianxue, who was standing aside, to settle the accounts for her.

"Originally, we mainly focused on large kitchens. Each hospital was responsible for adding small kitchens. The monthly public expenses are about half of what you spent after the restructuring. Princess, your move is really extravagant." Yun Qianxue said with a look on her face.

Disagree.

Gu Mingshu was surprised: "Two hundred taels a month for food is considered a waste? Is our family already so strapped?"

Yun Qianxue said: "Whether you are diligent or thrifty has nothing to do with whether you are rich or poor. It is the attitude of the mistress in running the house."

"I've learned a lesson." Gu Mingshu looked humble and sincere.

Mrs. Yun said: "Since you have been taught, why don't you change the kitchen affairs back?"

Gu Mingshu had other plans for the restructuring. How could he say that he would just change it back?

"Ancestor, I don't think there is any need to change the kitchen affairs. Being diligent and frugal is a matter for young people. There is no reason for our ancestors to suffer too."

"It's better to do this. The monthly food expenses remain the same. Anhetang's chef ancestors can eat whatever they want. The other hospitals can use their thrifty family tradition to spread the remaining food expenses evenly and reduce the standard.

If you want to improve the food, just pay for it out of your own pocket as before."

"In this way, money is saved, my filial piety as a junior is fulfilled, and everyone's taste is taken care of. Isn't it wonderful to have the best of all three?"

Yun Qianxue cursed in her heart at that time. If each hospital opens a small kitchen and uses the original food expenses, then there will be nothing to eat. Now she has to keep an eye on Anhetang and spread the remaining money.

If there is no subsidy, it will be no different from eating glutinous rice.

But what can she say? As long as she objects, it will prevent the princess from fulfilling her filial piety, and she will not be thrifty!

Concubine Yun also felt that something was wrong. Couldn't she eat whatever she wanted before? Now she changed her approach and she was able to stand up.

"I'm an old woman..."

"Oh, grandma!" Gu Mingshu interrupted her, "Don't delay. You came out of the palace to take care of your old age, and even the daily cook has wronged you. In this family, who has the food and clothing expenses?

No one can get past you."

"There are no rules and no rules. Your treatment is different from others. This is the rule and it should be! If anyone feels dissatisfied or resentful about this, it is the fault of the dissatisfied and resentful people. You have worked hard for the palace all your life, and I am filial to you.

What's wrong with you and us?"

Gu Mingshu has become very good at this kind of thing, which happens once and twice.

The three of them debated for several more rounds, but Gu Mingshu insisted on standing on the moral high ground and supported and stepped on her, coaxing and deceiving her, and finally made the old lady agree to her arrangement.

In this way, the renovation of the Hailing Palace kitchen has finally been completed.

Anhetang has no influence. The remaining people, who do not want to wrong themselves, will naturally show their magical powers.

Yun Qianxue pretended to be living in poverty and poverty for a day, then opened her own private treasury to stock up on food.

As for Gu Mingshu, as someone who held Qin Yue's private treasury, saved Qi Ming's fifty thousand taels, and paid an IOU to the pawnshop, she had a lot of spare money, so she certainly could not wrong herself.

But there are always people in the house who have been wronged.

For example, Ruan Meiniang, the former courtesan in Lanyuan, left the house after purging herself from Zui Chun Tower.

"Why are there whole grains and vegetables again?" She looked at the lunch on the table, her face even uglier than the color of the vegetables.

The maid showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "My dear, don't you just want to lose weight so that you can practice the drum dance?"

It's good that she wants to lose weight, but losing weight doesn't mean she has to eat glutinous rice!

I think of Ruan Meiniang, even when she was in Zui Chun Tower, she had never suffered such injustice.

"I don't eat vegetables! Why don't you do what I asked you to do in the morning?" She glared.

The maid was also very aggrieved: "Madam, it's not that I don't want to cook for you, it's... it's that our meal expenses are really not enough. Since the big kitchen was abolished and each hospital opened its own small kitchen, the little meal expenses were paid

It’s really just enough to eat these.”

"Do Gu Mingshu and the others also eat this kind of food that even dogs won't eat?" Ruan Meiniang asked.

The little maid didn't dare to hide it: "The princess and the others all have their own family resources, so they subsidize the cook."

Ruan Meiniang was so angry that she swept all the food on the table to the floor with a crash: "I knew that bitch Gu Mingshu had some tricks up her sleeve when she changed the kitchen system. It turns out she was just bullying me!"

"Mom, please calm down." The little maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees.

Ruan Meiniang was particularly upset and kicked the little maid into the broken porcelain pieces, "Last time I asked you to drug Wutong Garden, but you only drugged it into the pot where people were eating. Gu Mingshu didn't say anything about it, and even provoked

She did this to punish me, you bitch!"

She scolded and kicked the little maid.

"My queen, please forgive me! Please forgive me!" The little maid cried and begged for mercy, but she didn't dare to hide.

Because as long as she dodges, Ruan Meiniang will definitely hit her harder.

Ruan Meiniang made Lanyuan very upset, but she did not dare to go to Qin Yue.

Because Qin Yue seems to have become much colder to her since he returned home, but she has not figured out the reason for Qin Yue's coldness yet.

If she cannot guess a man's thoughts, she will not rashly ask him to do anything for her. This is one of the rules she has followed for many years in the world.

Ruan Meiniang suffered the loss of being mute and remembered Gu Mingshu hard.

However, Gu Mingshu felt that Ruan Meiniang's losses were not enough.
