There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Mrs. Ren and Fang Gui stayed in the Daohuayuan for less than a quarter of an hour and left. As soon as they were done, Mrs. Li received the news.

After listening to Daohua Duojia's two rules, Mrs. Li was silent for a moment: "This girl thinks very carefully. The food in each room is registered and written in black and white, so everyone can have an idea in their hearts, so that some people don't eat it. I feel like I'm eating less."

Pingtong nodded: "In the past two years, the mansion has become a little richer, and the slaves found that the second master and the second lady would call a lot every time they ordered food. It would be too much waste to finish it."

"And the one from Shuangxin Courtyard. Ever since he gave birth to five girls, he has been using the excuse of needing to make up his body, and from time to time he will go to the kitchen to order something."

Mrs. Li sneered: "Now the second master and the second lady are acting in the Xueshi family, but they don't think about it, can our family withstand such extravagance? Because of the old lady and the master, I can't say anything. ."

"As for Shuangxin Courtyard, that's what the master said. Let the kitchen do what Concubine Lin wants to eat. With this sentence, Mrs. Lin doesn't try to eat."

After speaking, Mrs. Li smiled again.

"It's said that my daughter is my mother's sweet little padded jacket. That's really good. That girl has come with such a trick, and she has to suppress the evil spirits in this house. Even if something unpleasant happens in the future, we will have a reason. "

Pingtong answered immediately: "Isn't that right, the eldest girl's heart has always been towards the lady."

Some things, even if the lady knows, it is not easy to do it, but the eldest girl is different and can be considered a lot less.

Mrs. Li continued: "As for purchasing. Now that our family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger, we should really tighten up the purchasing side. It's okay to be greedy for a little cheap. Do something selfish."

Pingtong nodded, then smiled: "Our eldest girl is really a good material for a housekeeper. As soon as she took over the kitchen, she helped her to solve two major problems."

Mrs. Li also smiled: "That girl is smart, but she is lazy, and she is willing to move forward until someone pushes her. Let's be careful."

a month later.

Mrs. Ren handed over the booklet with the details of the meals in each room to Daohua.

Daohua sat in the yard, flipping through the booklet while smashing the seeds, and there were a few laughs from time to time.

"In our house, the most expensive food is not the old lady's yard, nor the main courtyard. It is actually the second uncle's yard and the yard where a concubine lives. It costs two or three hundred taels of silver a month!"

Daohua sneered and shook her head, then got up and walked to the study, and quickly copied two copies. After that, he gave one of them to Wang Man'er and asked her to take it to the second room.

"It doesn't matter if it's for the second uncle or the second aunt. When I saw them, I said that I was in charge of the kitchen for the first time. I didn't know the expenses of the family. I made a little statistics and let them know."

After speaking, he paused.

"If they ask who else knows, you can say, I'm worried about the inaccuracy of one month's expenses. I plan to record two more months and report it to my mother."

"That's all, let's go!"

Wang Man'er immediately turned and left.

As soon as she left, Daohua looked at the other transcript, thought about it, and looked at the sky: "Father should be about to go to office, right?"

Gu Yu nodded: "Yes, girl."

Daohua got up: "Let's go, let's meet my father."

Hanging door.

As soon as Yan Zhigao came back from the former yamen, he saw the eldest daughter and her maid sitting in the pavilion that he must pass by drinking tea.

Seeing this, Yan Zhigao raised his brows.

The people who usually come to block him are from the Lin family and his wife. Several other children have also met him by chance for various reasons, but the eldest daughter has never been there.

He was very curious, what was the reason for the eldest daughter who took the initiative to come to him?

"Cough cough~"

Yan Zhigao came to the pavilion and coughed twice.

Daohua immediately greeted her with a smile: "Father, have you gone to work?"

Yan Zhigao nodded, walked into the pavilion, saw the tea being brewed on the stone table, and said with a smile, "This is for the father?"

Daohua smiled and nodded: "I don't know if it suits my father's taste?"

Yan Zhigao sat down and took a sip of the tea: "Yes, the heat is well controlled."

Daohua smiled and said, "It's good that my father likes it."

Yan Zhigao put down the teacup: "What's the matter with you looking for a father?"

Daohua took the food account book from Gu Yu: "Father, mother asked me to take charge of the kitchen, so I asked the kitchen steward to record the daily meals in each room and summarize them, please take a look."

The eldest daughter took over the kitchen. Mrs. Li had mentioned this to him, but Yan Zhigao didn't say anything, just reached out to take the account book and read it.

The first thing he looked at was the final summary. When he saw that the Second Disciple's Courtyard and the Shuangxin Courtyard spent two or three hundred dollars in a month's food, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

Seeing him like this, Daohua hurriedly said, "Father, there is a daily record in front of me, and when the maids in each room come to the kitchen to get food, they will confirm it." The implication was that she didn't do anything fake.

Yan Zhigao quickly flipped through it. Indeed, every time he took something, there was a signature of the maid for confirmation.

Daohua continued: "Second Uncle's side, I have already sent someone a transcript, saying that it will take a few more months to report to my mother. On the side of Shuangxinyuan, I can't go directly to Aunt Lin. That's why I'm here to disturb my father."

Yan Zhigao put down the account book and sighed in his heart for the meticulousness and thoroughness of the eldest daughter's work.

"You did a good job. On your second uncle's side, if you change it next, you don't need to mention it again." So as not to hurt the second brother's face.

Daohua nodded in response.

Yan Zhigao: "I'll tell her from Concubine Lin's side. Now she's been making up for it for several months. In the future, her meals will follow the example."

Daohua nodded again: "Okay, listen to my father."

Second house yard.

After Wang Man'er left, Yan Zhiyuan and Sun's expressions became ugly.

Sun's dissatisfaction said: "I knew that there would be an accident in the kitchen of Daohuaguan by my sister-in-law. Sure enough, as soon as this girl comes up, she will use us."

Yan Zhiyuan frowned, ignoring Sun's words, but asked uncertainly, "We really ordered so much food?"

Sun shi choked, and then said angrily: "I don't remember how much you ate?"

Yan Zhiyuan was silent.

The wife admitted that they ordered all the food, and Daohua did not falsely accuse them.

After a while, Yan Zhiyuan said, "Let's be more restrained in the future. Sister-in-law may still take care of mother and elder brother's face and not make trouble, but Daohua will never do it."

"Speaking of which, spending two or three hundred taels of silver a month is indeed a lot."

Mr. Sun pouted, they are too much, other people will spend thousands of taels for a banquet, where are they going, and besides, now the family can't afford it.

It's just that my sister-in-law is stingy!
