Be Careful General's Wife!

Seeing that the crowd did not speak, Shen Wan said again, "is there such a thing as food decline? If you don't say, how can I solve it? "

When they heard this, they all felt very strange. It was the first lady who brought food. Could she know if there was such a thing? Instead, I asked them.

"Have you? Isn't the eldest lady most clear? " I don't know who said it.

"Yes! You should know it best, madam Several people echoed.

Shen Wan said: "naturally, I don't know why I will ask you, because I haven't lowered the food standard in the mansion. But I hear that you are complaining about the decrease of food. Naturally, I have to ask and find out what's wrong

Smell speech, everybody can't help but look, stand in front row of mammy Zhang. But she told them that it was the eldest lady who lowered the food standard of everyone, and they didn't have meat to eat! But the eldest lady said she didn't fall. What's the matter? In front of so many people, the big lady can't lie!

"The food of our servants is indeed reduced. In the past, there were large pieces of meat in the dishes, but now only the surimi that can be found after searching for a long time."

"What's more, it used to be white rice noodles, but now it's yellow."

"Mother Zhang, should you give me an explanation?" Shen Wan asked, looking at the calm mother Zhang.

Mother Zhang wrung her eyebrows and said, "the old slave has said that she wants sixty Liang silver, but you only give fifty Liang, madam. In order to make the people in this mansion have enough food and meat, they have to buy some poor old rice and less meat. They chop the meat into minced meat and fry it in the dishes for everyone to eat. "

Yo! This lady is really lying! She said she didn't fall, but mother Zhang asked for sixty Liang, but she only gave fifty Liang.

"You fart," autumn chrysanthemum did not hold back for a moment, then said indecent words.

"Two days ago, when you came to pay for the money, we made clear with you. According to the previous food standard, we gave you 50 Liang silver to buy food materials, but it was much more. In my opinion, it is clearly the money you bought food materials from

"Conscience of heaven and earth, if I am greedy for money, I will not die easily. Miss Qiuju, you can't take advantage of the fact that you are the eldest lady, and you will be wronged by empty mouth and white teeth!" Mrs. Zhang clapped her thigh and cried.

Shen Wan said with a smile: "have you been wronged? You can find out if you have been wronged. Tell me how much money you spent on purchasing food materials these two days? Where did you buy it from? How much money is left? We will know when we go to the stall owner. "

Mammy Cheung swallowed her saliva. She didn't expect that the big lady would be so real that she would go to the stall owner to verify. She originally thought that when the eldest lady asked her about it, she would prevaricate her with the reason for the price increase of food materials!

Fortunately, she buys in regular stalls and shops, and the shopkeepers are familiar with her. Moreover, anyone who is in charge of purchasing in a big family will make some profit from it. The stall owners and shopkeepers are also aware that if they really check, they will cover up for themselves.

Mother Zhang took out her little account book from her arms and read, "I bought 16 Liang for 1000 Jin of rice, 800 Liang for 500 Jin of noodles, 50 Liang for 100 Jin of pork, 5 for each chicken and duck, and 5 for 5 yuan for salt, soy sauce and vinegar..."

Mammy Zhang read a lot, and finally said, "all spent 35 Liang silver, there are 15 silver left."

Qiu Ju twisted her eyebrows and said, "Chen Mi 1000 is 16 liang? Last time, it was very clear. The new rice was only 15 Liang silver. "

"Ah..." Mammy Zhang sighed and said, "girl, you don't know. The price of rice and meat has gone up this month. It's not the original price."

Autumn chrysanthemum did not go to buy rice this month, but I do not know that the price of rice has risen.

The price of rice, vegetables and meat have increased because of heavy snow near the end of the year.

A maid said, "I have heard that the price of rice and meat has gone up recently."

So maybe the fifty Liang is not enough!

"Where did you buy your rice noodles?" Shen Wan asked, looking at mother Zhang. This rice noodles account for the majority, so only need to verify the rice noodles to know whether this mammy has the money of greedy ink.

Mother Zhang hesitated and said, "Chenji grain and oil shop."

Shen Wan nodded, thought about it and said to Qiuju, "go and invite the shopkeeper of Chenji grain and oil shop to come and say that there is something wrong with the rice and noodles bought in his house."

"I will go now."

"Wait a minute." Shen Wanchong waves to Qiuju and asks her to listen. Autumn chrysanthemum will understand, then bent over, will ear close in the past.

After Shen Wan whispered a few words in Qiuju's ear, Qiuju nodded and left the main hall. She had a carriage and left the general's office.

Mother Zhang felt more relieved when she saw Shen Wan only looking for the Chenji grain and oil shop. She and the manager Wang of the Chenji grain and oil shop had known each other for more than ten years. Moreover, when Chen Ji bought grain and oil, she would give it at a Wen or two higher than the actual price, and manager Wang could also get some from it. She did that in case it happened today.
