    Mrs. Ren and Fang Gui stayed in the Daohua Courtyard for less than a quarter of an hour before leaving. As soon as they finished their work, Mrs. Li received the news.

    After listening to Daohua Duojia's two rules, Mrs. Li was silent for a moment: "This girl has thought carefully. The food in each room is registered and written in black and white. Everyone can know the number in mind, so as to prevent some people from eating it.  I feel like I haven¡¯t eaten enough.¡±

    Pingtong nodded: "The house has become more affluent in the past two years. I found that the second master and the second wife barked a lot every time they ordered food. It would be a waste to not finish the food."

    "Then there is the one from Shuangxinyuan. Ever since she gave birth to the fifth girl, she has been using the excuse of needing to replenish her body and going to the kitchen to order food from time to time."

    Mrs. Li sneered: "Now the second master and the second wife are learning the ways of the family, but they don't even think about it, can our family withstand such extravagance? Because of the old lady and the master, I can't say anything.  .¡±

    "As for Shuangxinyuan, it was the master who asked Aunt Lin to let the kitchen cook whatever she wants to eat. With this sentence, Mrs. Lin still eats hard."

    As she said that, Mrs. Li smiled again.

    "They say that a daughter is a mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket. This is really true. That girl came with such a move to suppress the unhealthy tendencies in this house. Even if there is any unpleasantness in the future, we will be justified.  "

    Pingtong immediately answered: "Isn't that right? The eldest girl's heart has always been towards Madam."

    There are some things that even if the madam knows, it is difficult to do them, but the eldest girl is different and has a lot less care.

    Mrs. Li continued: "Now that our family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger, the purchasing side should really tighten up. It's okay to be greedy for small gains. I'm just afraid that this person's greed will get bigger and bigger, and he will end up doing something.  It¡¯s about lining your own pockets.¡±

    Pingtong nodded, then smiled and said: "Our eldest girl is really a good housekeeper. As soon as she took over the kitchen, she helped my wife solve two major problems."

    Mrs. Li also smiled: "That girl is smart, but she is a little lazy. She has to be pushed by someone before she moves forward. We have to watch her carefully."

    ?¡­

    One month later.

    Mrs. Ren handed Daohua the booklet recording the food details of each room.

    Daohua was sitting in the yard, flipping through the booklet and cracking melon seeds. A few chuckles came from time to time.

    "The biggest expense on food in our house is not the old lady's courtyard, nor the main courtyard, but the courtyard where the second uncle and his concubine live. It costs two to three hundred taels of silver a month!"

    Daohua sneered and shook her head, then stood up and walked to the study room, quickly copying two copies.  Afterwards, he gave one copy to Wang Maner and asked her to take it to the second room.

    ¡°Whether it¡¯s my second uncle or my second aunt, when I see them, I will tell them that it is my first time to be in charge of the kitchen and I don¡¯t know the expenses at home, so I will do some statistics and let them know.¡±

    After finishing speaking, he paused.

    "If they ask who else knows, just say, I'm worried that one month's expenses are inaccurate, so I'm going to record it for two more months and then report it to my mother."

    ¡°That¡¯s it, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Wang Maner immediately turned around and left.

    As soon as she left, Daohua looked at the other copy, thought for a while, and looked at the sky: "Father should be going to the office soon, right?"

    Guyu nodded: "Yes, girl."

    Daohua stood up: "Let's go see Father."

    The hanging flower door.

    Yan Zhigao had just returned from the front office when he saw his eldest daughter and her maid sitting in a pavilion drinking tea on his only way.

    Seeing this, Yan Zhigao raised his eyebrows.

    Usually, people who come to block him include people 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 met him.

    He was very curious, why did the eldest daughter come to him on her own initiative?

    "Ahem~"

    Yan Zhigao came to the pavilion and coughed twice.

    Daohua immediately came out with a smile: "Father, have you gone to office?"

    Yan Zhigao nodded and walked into the pavilion. Seeing the tea brewed on the stone table, he smiled and said, "Is this for your father?"

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

    Yan Zhigao sat down, picked up the tea and took a breath: "Not bad, the heat is well controlled."

    Daohua smiled and said, "As long as father likes it."

      Yan Zhigao put down the tea cup: "What do you want to do with your 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 food ordered in each room every day and summarize it. Please take a look."

    Mrs. Li mentioned the fact that the eldest daughter took over the kitchen. Yan Zhigao didn't say anything, just reached out and took the account book and started reading it.

    The first thing he looked at was the final summary. When he saw that Erdi Yuan and Shuangxin Yuan spent two to three hundred dollars on food for a month, his brows suddenly furrowed.

    Seeing him like this, Daohua hurriedly said: "Father, there is a record of each day in front of me. When the maids in each room go to the kitchen to get food, they all confirm it." The implication is that she did not lie at all.

    Yan Zhigao looked through it quickly and found that indeed, every time he took something, the maid signed it for confirmation.

    Daohua continued: "Second Uncle, I have asked someone to send a copy, saying that it will be recorded for a few months before reporting to mother. As for Shuangxinyuan, I can't go directly to Aunt Lin.  That¡¯s why I came to disturb my father.¡±

    Yan Zhigao put down the account books and sighed inwardly at the meticulousness and thoroughness of his eldest daughter's work.

    "You did a good job. As for your second uncle, if you change it later, there is no need to mention this matter again." In order to avoid hurting the second brother's face.

    Daohua nodded in agreement.

    Yan Zhigao: "I will tell Aunt Lin about it. She has been taking supplements for several months now. In the future, her meals will be according to the proportion."

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

    The second-bedroom courtyard.

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

    Mrs. Sun was dissatisfied and said: "I knew something would happen if my sister-in-law asked Daohua to take charge of the kitchen. Sure enough, as soon as this girl comes up, she will do something to us."

    Yan Zhiyuan frowned, ignored Sun's words, and asked with some uncertainty: "Did we really order so much food?"

    Mrs. Sun choked and then said angrily: "You don't remember how much you ate?"

    Yan Zhiyuan was silent.

    By saying this, the wife admitted that they had ordered all the food, and Daohua did not make false accusations against them.

    After a long while, Yan Zhiyuan said: "Please be more restrained in the future. My sister-in-law may still take into account the face of mother and brother and not make things happen, but Daohua will never do that."

    "Then again, spending two to three hundred taels of silver on food a month is indeed a bit much."

    Mrs. Sun curled her lips, they didn't think it was too much. A banquet for other families would cost thousands of taels of silver. How could they be here? Besides, it's not like the family couldn't afford it now.

    It¡¯s just the sister-in-law who is stingy!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
