Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 107: : Here comes a show of force
Remember in one second【】
"Mother Yang, it's already March, and the vegetables and fruits in the village on the outskirts of Beijing are starting to grow. The green vegetables on the market are only a pound of money per catty. You have recorded three pounds of money here, which is three pounds of money." Silver, even if vegetables are rare in winter, this is the price."
Yu Youyao's words calmed everyone present, and many people took a breath.
The old lady asked them to bring the account book together when she was summoned just now. The eldest lady was determined not to see it in advance, so they, the eldest lady, were secretive and knew how to read the account book themselves.
The account books for purchases in the big kitchen are very trivial and complicated. Even those who know how to read the account books cannot fully understand the things inside. Mrs. Yang, the housekeeper, has not been able to read them all for many years.
But the eldest lady glanced at it casually and saw the clues at a glance. It really made people timid, and they dared to fool around.
I really didn’t expect that the eldest lady could already read the ledger like this when she was less than ten years old. I can’t blame the old lady for letting the eldest lady take care of the house without any worries.
The atmosphere became much more tense, and everyone's expressions on Yu Youyao's expressions became cautious.
Mother Yang’s expression changed when she was called out in public. She put away the slightest disapproval in her heart. She bowed and said, “To tell you the story, Miss, this spring is a bit colder than previous years. It wasn’t until February that the weather gradually got warmer, and vegetables grew later than in previous years, and the prices were much higher. In addition, the vegetables ordered by Lao Nu were from the best farms in the suburbs of Beijing, and they were better than those on the market. , the value is naturally more expensive..."
This excuse was good, but it did not convince Yu Youyao.
At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu attached great importance to agriculture. The court distributed new seeds to farmers for free every year. If the new seeds were successfully planted, the court directly rewarded them with fertile land. These days, acres of land are the lifeblood of farmers. Who wouldn’t want to get it? go?
Local officials also encourage farmers to plant new species. When they are planted, it is a political achievement. When evaluating performance, the word "excellent" is indispensable, and it is easy to move up.
In the previous dynasties, fruit was more expensive than oil, but this was not the case in the Zhou Dynasty.
Even in winter, some farms have thought of setting up straw sheds to grow vegetables. Some large farms even use heated kangs to grow vegetables. Although thin fruits are valuable in winter, they are not that outrageous.
Not to mention normal times.
Mother Yang is a servant, and she is quite greedy, but she is not so bold and ruthless, so the money can only go into Yang's pocket.
But Yu Youyao didn't intend to point it out, but it was still necessary for the housekeeper to establish his authority on the first day: "I remember that our family had a farm in the suburbs of Beijing, where we grew vegetables and fruits, and we would send fresh ones to the house every day. Zhuangzi under my mother's name would also send some fruits, vegetables, delicacies, and game from the village to the house from time to time. There were few people in the house, and the vegetables were almost enough, so there was no need to buy them like this. How much?"
Obviously, the accounts were false.
Actually, I didn’t buy that many green vegetables, but the money I spent on them was astounding.
Many people present were already sweating coldly. The ladies who were raised in the boudoir, although they were well-versed in literature and writing, had some common sense, but they were not familiar with such common things as food, rice, oil and salt.
I know how to read some account books, but I don’t know what’s going on outside. I can fool people with just a few words.
This eldest lady is also extremely shrewd. She took a look at the account book and figured out the doorways inside.
Mother Yang’s heart skipped a beat, and she became a little nervous: “The eldest lady doesn’t know something. It’s been a little colder this year, and the vegetables in the village are not growing as well as in previous years. The suburbs of Beijing are also farther away, so some vegetables are sent to the house. It’s a bit stale here, and the eldest lady also knows that the old slave is out shopping.”
After saying this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her body, and her sweat-soaked clothes stuck to her back, but it made her spine feel cold and her whole body was cold to the core.
Yesterday, Madam wanted to hand over the housekeeper's rights, so she found a few useful stewards and beat them up, to the effect that they would forget about their old owners unless they had new owners.
He also asked them to keep their account books clean so that Aunt Liu wouldn’t get the clues.
They are used to doing this, so naturally they are not afraid.
Although the vegetables are much more expensive, they have already found an excuse. Although Grandma Liu is decent, she is also a slave. As long as they carry out the eldest lady, they will not be able to make trouble with the eldest lady, let alone because of this. If you want something, go to the old lady and chew it.
But before Grandma Liu checked the account books, she heard that the eldest lady was the housekeeper, which frightened them into a daze. She was so happy that she directly asked the eldest lady to give her a showdown.
Aunt Liu is a slave, and they are confident in carrying the eldest lady.
But the eldest lady is the master, and she has the support of the old lady. When the eldest lady asks, they can't fool them. Do they have to make it clear?
But this kind of thing can't be understood, but it's too much to talk about and it's always wrong.
After hearing this, Yu Youyao smiled faintly: "It turned out to be with mother's consent, so let's do it!"
Mother Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the name of the eldest lady would be useful to the eldest lady. This matter is over, and she will be more cautious in the future.
But just as she had time to wipe away her sweat, she heard the eldest lady ask in a crisp voice: "Has anyone delivering vegetables in the village come over today?"
What does this mean? Yang's mother was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "We won't arrive until about the afternoon."
Yu Youyao nodded: "When they come, come over and let me know. I heard from Yang's mother that the green vegetables in Zhuangtou are not growing well this year, so other crops may also be affected, but I want to know more. By the way, I can also know the situation of other crops. After all, the future of the house depends on the harvest of the farm, so I don’t have to let the house suffer.

Mama Yang's head was spinning, but she never expected that the eldest lady not only knew how to read accounts~IndoMTL.com~ but was also shrewd, and could even think of this.
The crops in Zhuangzi are not good because the people in the village have not taken care of it. No one dares to take such a responsibility easily, otherwise the flaws will be exposed.
But she didn't dare to involve the eldest lady.
At that time, she will be the one who made the mistake, and she will be solely responsible.
Old Madam Yu sat aside without making a sound, and even stopped pinching her beads. She just watched such a good show, and even her muddy eyes lit up.
Yaoyao is really a clever little girl. This method of killing chickens to scare monkeys almost frightened her.
After everyone had retired, Mrs. Yu said to Aunt Liu: "The stewards in the shop outside and the stewards in the village will also be called over tomorrow so that Yaoyao can meet her."
Mama Liu responded with a smile.
Mrs. Yu nodded with satisfaction and asked Yu Youyao: "How do you know the value of green vegetables outside?"
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
