The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 309
Madam Zheng, who was in charge of delivering food, was thinking about whether to report to the eldest lady so that she could move to a more lucrative position.

Madam Wu, the sous chef in charge of the kitchen, gave Sister Wen a sideways look, with a gloating smile on her face.The eldest lady is famous for being particular about food, but she will not be picky when it comes to her own territory.It is enough for the servants to eat as much as they can.The eldest lady is here, loosen your hands and add a piece of meat to the dish, so those boys won't complain.

Glancing at the nuns who were pregnant with ghosts below, Ye Xueying said: "Now, bring up your account book, I want to have a look, I will finish reading it later, and then we will go to the warehouse you manage together."

It's normal for the eldest lady to look at the account book.Whoever takes over the kitchen must first look at the ledger, and then check whether the items in the warehouse match the ledger?The nuns agreed with a smile, and rushed to get their account books.

After a while, the account book was fetched.

Madam Zheng came back the fastest, and her account book was the thinnest. She recorded few things, but recorded the monthly payment of the little girl who ran errands to deliver food and the rough envoy.It's nothing to look at.She wants to deduct the monthly money of the people below, and it will not be recorded in the account book.

Madam Zheng's methods are hidden, she will send anyone who does not respect her to deliver food to the servants.Whoever honors her will be sent by her to deliver food to the masters.Delivering food to the master, if you are familiar with the face, you will have a chance to please the master, or get some rewards, or climb up.Giving food to servants is useless for a lifetime.

Dozens of little maids often get the monthly money with their left hand, and quietly hand back half of it with their right hand to Madam Zheng.The rough envoy mother-in-law also has to pay one-tenth to Madam Zheng.

Don't think that delivering food is a trivial matter, but whoever you deliver it to is a big question.Which master is rich, which master is generous, when to give money, and when to give not only no reward, but also punishment and beating.If you don't give gifts or money to Madam Zheng, Madam Zheng will suffer a lot for you. You will be fined and beaten, but you can't speak ill of Madam Zheng.

Ye Xueying casually flipped through Madam Zheng's account book, and knew that there was no problem with the account book, and it was the people who had the problem.But for this kind of thing, she can only turn a blind eye and close her eyes. There is no way to control this matter. As long as Madam Zheng doesn't do too much and force people to live, there is nothing they can do.As long as she doesn't beat and scold the little girl at will, it's the same with another nanny, maybe not as good as Zheng nanny.

Ye Xueying said flatly: "Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Zheng's second daughter-in-law, Xiao Hei, and Lamei, don't push too hard. Leave a way for others to survive."

When Madam Zheng heard this, her face turned pale.The people Ye Xueying mentioned have always refused to honor her, and Madam Zheng has been punishing them all the time.Mrs. Tang was forced to carry the burden every day, and ran more than a mile to deliver meals, and she became sick from exhaustion.When I was sick, I had to carry the burden in the wind and snow. Every day, the food could not be delivered on time, and it was sent to the outer courtyard, and the food was cold.Of course the servants from the outer court would scold her.Madam Zheng also took advantage of the opportunity to deduct her monthly money.The little black girl is delivering food to the second young master of the fourth room. The little black girl is stupid and can't speak, and often annoys him. Now she is beaten and punished twice in three days.The beautiful Zheng Er's daughter-in-law and Lamei were delivering meals to the guards in the outer court, and they were harassed every day, making them want to commit suicide.

Madam Zheng wanted to defend herself, but she saw Ye Xueying's penetrating eyes.Sweat came down her forehead, and she murmured, "Yes! Miss, I'll change jobs for them today."

Ye Xueying nodded.

Nanny Zheng retreated to the side with a guilty conscience, feeling annoyed in her heart, she didn't know who had so many things to tell the eldest lady about such things?
Zhao Nanny, who was in charge of the charcoal fire, brought over the account book. There was a thick stack of one-year account books, which recorded the accounts for the firewood and various charcoal used by the Hou Mansion for one year.There are those for cooking in the kitchen, for geothermal heating in winter, and for the master and servants to keep warm by the fire.

Ye Xueying took it, and with a sweep of her consciousness, she understood the problem inside.She pretended to flip through it quickly from the beginning to the end, and said, "Mother Zhao, you are really amazing, you can earn 860 taels a year even if you manage this."

Zhao mama was sweating profusely. Although she didn't count them in detail, she knew it in her heart.After a year, she did earn about 800 taels by various means.

If Ye Xueying said the wrong number, she would still quibble.When the numbers matched, Mother Zhao knelt down in fright.Ye Xueying squinted her eyes, made a divination in her sleeve, and said lightly: "Sell your farm in Shangluo County to cover the debts of these few years, are you convinced?"

Aunt Zhao kowtowed as hard as she could. She knelt loudly and said loudly: "I am convinced. Thank you, Miss, for showing mercy."

Zhao Nanny used the money from embezzlement to secretly buy a big farm in Shangluo, and she never told anyone in the house, but now that the eldest lady has pointed it out, how can she deny it?
"You did such a thing, and I dismissed your post of steward, are you convinced?" Ye Xueying asked again.

Zhao Nanny said in tears: "The servant is convinced!"

Mammy Fu's eyes twitched, and under the gesture of the young lady, she stepped forward to collect Mammy Zhao's keys and cards.Zhao mama left the hall with a dismal expression.Madam Zheng was terrified.

Nanny Li, who was in charge of the medicinal food, could hear clearly from outside the door. The account book in her hand was like a red-hot iron plate, so she didn't dare to come in for a while.

"Mother Li, it's windy at the door, come in!" Ye Xueying said calmly inside.

Nanny Li came in with trembling legs.

Seeing Missy's knowing eyes, Nanny Li plopped down on the ground and cried: "Missy, please see that I have served Madam for more than ten years, please forgive me this time! It's all because of the lard!" I'm blindfolded, I won't dare to do it again next time!"

Ye Xueying looked calmly at Nanny Li who was lying on the ground crying, and said, "You took my family's medicinal materials and asked your nephew to open a pharmacy in Dahu Town. It's a good plan."

Nanny Li kowtowed desperately, her forehead was bleeding.

Madam Fu couldn't believe it.

Ye Xueying said: "You are an old man by my mother's side, and I will not punish you. You go and ask my mother for guilt."

Nanny Li hurriedly said, "Yes! Thank you, miss!"

She got up and hurried to Mrs. Ye's.In her opinion, it's fine if the young lady didn't commit the crime.God knows how the eldest lady will punish herself, she knows the madam's temper, and has a master-servant friendship for many years, so it's better to plead for mercy.

Nanny Zhou and Mama Wu came back together.

Ye Xueying quickly flipped through the two thick ledgers.Nanny Zhou was so determined that she would only call out the ghost if she could find out the problem after going through it like this.Wu Ma also pouted secretly.

Madam Zheng looked at the two colleagues with pity.These two don't know how powerful Miss is!I'll see how you beg for mercy later.I don't even need to report it.

"Nurse Zhou, let me ask you a few things." Ye Xueying said.

Nanny Zhou said with a smile: "Miss, just ask, I will tell you everything!"

"On February 27th this year, where are you going to send the [-] altars of Xuezhongyao?" Ye Xueying asked.

Nanny Zhou was stunned, she couldn't remember the date, but she only remembered that at the end of February, she used the water-mixing method to get a hundred altars of Snowy Sauce from the Fuzhong wine cellar and sold them to wealthy customers on the prairie.
