There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After the beginning of spring, Daohua has been very busy, busy with classes, and busy visiting various villages. At the same time, Mrs. Li also gave her a task, which is to learn to manage the kitchen.

"Mother, okay, why do you let me manage the kitchen?"

Daohua was a little reluctant and wanted to let go of the errand, but she had no choice. She had to learn too much every day. She had to learn from books, practice calligraphy, chisel women's red, play the piano and burn incense. She had to get up in the morning to practice the whip, and Take time to manage Zhuangzi and shops.

It can be said that he gets up earlier than chickens, sleeps later than dogs, and is more social than social animals.

That is to say, the return is quite gratifying, otherwise, she would want to quit her job.

What about the life of rice bugs?

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at her: "It's too early, mother is too late. After August, you'll be 12. You should also learn about socializing with housekeepers."

As soon as she heard the age, Daohua's head suddenly became big.

If we put it in modern times, when I was twelve years old, I just entered junior high school, but people in ancient times were already preparing for marriage in the future.

Mrs. Li ignored her daughter, who was pulling her face, and continued: "Don't you like to cook and eat? It just happened to start with managing the kitchen, so you can get started."

"When you are familiar with the kitchen, take over the sewing room"

Daohua hurriedly interrupted: "Mother, when did our family have a sewing room?"

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter again: "You, just focus on your Zhuangzi shops, and don't care about family affairs."

After he finished speaking, he paused and explained patiently.

"Nowadays, our family has more opportunities to go out to be a guest. Your father is the head of a state, and you can't be ashamed of wearing it. In addition, there are more and more servants in the family, and changing clothes every season is a big expense. , Now that there is a sewing room, there is no need to go out to buy clothes, which can save a lot of money."

"Although our family has more sources of income now, it can't be extravagant and wasteful. In two years, you will all grow up and there will be more places to spend money."

Rice Flower nodded.

Her mother is really good at stewardship, and she can think of many things ahead.

Mrs. Li touched Daohua's head: "We women can relax a bit when they are girls, but if they are too relaxed, they have to make up for the crime they suffered when they go to the husband's house."

"Mother knows that you are busy with schoolwork, but now that you are working harder, you can relax a little when you arrive at your in-law's house. At home, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask your mother, but when you arrive at your in-law's house, even if your mother-in-law is sensible, you won't run away. Go ask."

"Think about it for yourself, should you study at home or wait until you get married?"

Daohua said depressedly: "Mother, I just need to learn."

The director of the house is a must for every wife. The concubines are comfortable and don’t have to do anything, but they have to rely on others to live. Not only can they not control their own destiny, but even their children will be inferior to others.

All things have to be given up.

Enjoy the comfort, there must be a corresponding price to pay.

Mrs. Li smiled, and quickly took the personnel register and purchasing account book from Pingtong, and put them directly into Daohua's hand: "Take it back and familiarize yourself with it, if you don't understand, or if you don't know, just ask directly. I."

Daohua nodded, resigned and left with two booklets.

Rice Garden.

Daohua stood under the porch eaves teasing parrots, and in the yard stood Mrs. Ren, the kitchen steward, and the expensive buyers.

The two had been here for a while. There were chairs in the yard and refreshments were prepared. Wang Man'er let him sit, but neither of them dared.

big girl.

To be honest, even though it was a girl's family, none of the Yan family dared to underestimate it.

For nothing else, he dared to challenge the eldest girl face to face with the master, and no one dared to provoke her.

Besides, the eldest girl is indeed very powerful. If there is anything in the house, she will help the lady to fight, the lady will control the bureau, and the eldest girl will be responsible for making up for leaks.

The Yan family held several banquets, and each time the guests left with a smile.

From this, you can see that the big girl is a meticulous and thoughtful person.

Now that the big girl is in charge of the kitchen, they have to wait for them.

Looking at the two people standing or not sitting in the yard, Daohua was a little speechless.

Seriously, she really didn't think about giving the two of them a slap in the face or something.

Without him, most of the food the Yan family eats is taken from their own village. Even if they want to embezzle, they probably won't find much chance.

She was teasing the bird, but she simply didn't know what to say to ease her embarrassment, but the two of them had to stand, which made her very helpless.

Daohua put down the parrot, walked over and sat down: "You guys too."

At this time, Mrs. Ren and Fang Gui dared to sit down, but both of them only sat in the front, with their waists straight.

Rice Flower: "."

Does she have the style of a domineering female president?

Looking at the appearance of these two people, I didn't know how fierce she was!

"Mother asked me to take charge of the kitchen. Although I go there often, many things are not very clear. Please tell me about the situation over there."

Saying that, Daohua paused and looked at Fang Gui: "Why do I think you look familiar?"

Wang Man'er immediately smiled and said, "Girl, you must think Fang Caiban looks like Mrs. Fang!"

Daohua's face was stunned: "Yes, it's like the lady in charge next to my mother."

Fang Gui immediately smiled and said, "If you go back to the girl, Mrs. Fang is my sister, and our sister and brother are somewhat similar."

"Oh" Daohua nodded, "No wonder." After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Ren again, "There is a man named Ren Xiaogu over there in the concierge, does it have anything to do with you?"

Mrs. Ren immediately replied, "Miss Hui, that's my son."

Daohua nodded again, picked up the teacup, and drank with her eyes down.

Unconsciously, the simple Yan family also began to move towards a complicated relationship.

With the gradual increase in the number of people in the family, it will definitely become more and more difficult to manage the housekeeping.

No wonder the mother kept clamoring to find a powerful wife for the eldest brother. I guess this aspect was also taken into consideration.

In a family with complicated relationships, it is not an easy task to manage everything from top to bottom.

Now that she understands Mrs. Li's motherly heart, she was asked to take over the kitchen so early because she was afraid that she would not be able to stand in her husband's house in the future.

When Mrs. Ren and Fang Gui saw that Daohua suddenly stopped talking, their hearts suddenly tightened, and they recalled what they said just now, there was nothing wrong.

But after a while, Daohua put down the teacup: "The rules in the kitchen are still according to my mother's previous rules. However, I have to add two more."

"One, in the future, no matter which room or person orders something in the kitchen, it will have to be registered." She wanted to look at the expenses of each room.

"Secondly, the data I purchased before was not detailed enough. I will make a form later, and I will fill in the form I gave in the future."

In the current purchase account book, only the quantity and amount are written, and there is no source or contact information.

Both Mrs. Ren and Fang Gui responded respectfully, but they felt a little bitter in their hearts.

When the eldest girl came up, although she seemed to have done nothing, she cut off their invisible benefits.

Mrs. Ren was in charge of the kitchen, and she did not dare to take good things, but when each room wanted to eat, she would make more or less, either to bribe the maids under her hands, or to take it home secretly.

Nowadays, food and drink needs to be registered, and the space for operation is small.

Fang Gui is also the same. He doesn't dare to be too greedy, but it is common to raise the price of some things he buys by a few pennies. Now that he has replaced the purchase account book, he has to be careful with the shrewdness of the eldest girl.
