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

"Mom, okay, why are you letting me manage the kitchen?"

Daohua was a little reluctant and wanted to turn down the errand, but there was no way. She had to learn too many things every day, including book knowledge, calligraphy, needlework and incense, playing the piano and burning incense, getting up in the morning to practice whipping, and

Take time to manage the village and shop.

It can be said that he wakes up earlier than a chicken, goes to bed later than a dog, and is worse than a social animal.

In other words, the rewards were quite gratifying, otherwise, she would have given up the job.

What about the promised rice insect life?

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at her: "How early is it? It's too late, mother. After August, you will be twelve. You should learn to do things like housekeeping and socializing."

When she heard about her age, Daohua suddenly felt dizzy.

If we wait until modern times, a twelve-year-old would have just entered junior high school, but people in ancient times were already preparing for marriage in the future.

Mrs. Li ignored her scowling daughter and continued: "Don't you love cooking? It just so happens that you start by managing the kitchen, so you can get started easily."

"Wait until you are familiar with the kitchen, then take over the sewing room..."

Daohua quickly interrupted: "Mom, when did our family have a sewing room?"

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at her daughter again: "You, just focus on those shops of yours, and don't care about things at home."

After finishing speaking, he paused and explained patiently.

"Nowadays, our family has more opportunities to go out to visit. Your father is the head of a state after all, so there is no shame in dressing up. In addition, there are more and more servants in the family, and changing clothes every season is a huge expense.

, now that we have a sewing room, we don’t have to go out to buy clothes, and we can save a lot of money.”

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

Daohua nodded.

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

Mrs. Li touched Daohua's head: "We women can relax a little when we are girls, but if we relax too much, we will have to make up for the sins we deserve when we go to our husband's house."

"Mom knows that you are busy with your studies, but if you work harder now, you will be able to relax more when you go to your in-laws' house. At home, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask your mother, but when you go to your in-laws' house, even if your mother-in-law is sensible, you will not run away from things.

Go ask."

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

Daohua said depressedly: "Mom, I just want to learn."

Being in charge of the house and governing the house is something that every head wife must know. The concubine house is comfortable and does not have to do anything, but it has to live dependent on others. Not only can it not control its own destiny, but even the children it gives birth to will be inferior to others.

In everything you gain, you must give up.

If you enjoy comfort, you must pay a corresponding price.

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

Me."

Daohua nodded, accepted her fate and walked away with the two booklets.

......

Daohuaxuan.

Daohua stood under the eaves and teased the parrot. In the yard stood Mrs. Ren, the kitchen steward, and the purchasing buyer.

The two of them had been here for a while. There were chairs in the yard and refreshments were prepared. Wang Maner offered to sit down, but neither of them dared. They kept standing respectfully and looking at the rice flowers carefully.

Big girl...

To be honest, even though it is a girl's family, no one in the Yan family dares to look down upon her.

If not for anything else, if the eldest girl dares to challenge the master in person, no one will dare to mess with her.

Furthermore, the eldest girl is really powerful. If anything happens in the house, she will help the madam. The madam controls the situation, and the eldest girl is responsible for making up for the leaks.

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

From this point of view, we can see that the eldest girl is a meticulous and thoughtful person.

Now that the eldest girl is in charge of the kitchen, they have to wait on her.

Looking at the two people standing and not sitting in the yard, Daohua was speechless.

To be honest, she never thought about giving the two of them a showdown or anything.

Without him, most of the food the Yan family eats comes from their own farm. Even if they want to embezzle, they probably won't find any opportunities.

She was teasing the birds because she simply didn't know what to say to relieve 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 sit down too."

At this time, Mrs. Ren and Fang Gui dared to sit down, but they only sat a little forward, with their waists straight.

Daohua: "..."

Could it be that she looks like a domineering female CEO?

Look at the appearance of these two people, people who don’t know how fierce they think she is!

"Mom asked me to be in charge of the kitchen. Although I go there often, I'm not sure about many things. Please tell me about the situation there."

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

Wang Maner immediately answered with a smile: "Girl, you must think that Fang Caibang looks like Mrs. Fang!"

Daohua's face suddenly revealed: "Yes, she is just like the lady in charge next to my mother."

Fang Gui immediately smiled and said: "To tell you the story, Mrs. Fang is my sister, and we are somewhat similar."

"Oh..." Daohua nodded, "No wonder." As he said that, he looked at Mrs. Ren again, "There is a man named Ren Xiaogu over there at the concierge. Is he related to you?"
p>

Mrs. Ren immediately replied: "Girl, that's my son."

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

Unknowingly, the Yan family, which has a simple staff, has also begun to move towards complicated relationships.

As the number of servants in the family gradually increases, it will definitely become more and more difficult to manage the house.

No wonder my mother has been clamoring to find a powerful wife for her eldest brother. She must have taken this aspect into consideration.

For a family with complicated relationships, it is not easy to manage everything properly.

Now she has understood Mrs. Li's motherly heart. She asked her to take over the kitchen so early, presumably because she was afraid that she would not be able to gain a foothold in her husband's family in the future.

When Mrs. Ren and Fang Gui saw Daohua suddenly stopped talking, their hearts tightened. They thought about what they had just said, and there was nothing wrong.

After a moment, Daohua put down her tea cup: "The rules in the kitchen are still the same as my mother's before. However, I have to add two more."

"First, in the future, no matter which room or person ordered something in the kitchen, they will have to register it." She wanted to see the expenses of each room.

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

The current purchasing account book only contains the quantity and amount, without the source or contact information. This can easily lead to corruption in the purchasing process and false reporting of amounts.

Mrs. Ren and Fang Gui responded respectfully on their faces, but they felt slightly bitter in their hearts.

Although the eldest girl seemed to have done nothing, she cut off their invisible benefits.

Mrs. Ren is in charge of the kitchen, and she doesn't dare to take good things. But when each room needs food, she will make more or less, and either use it to bribe the maids under her, or take it home secretly.

Nowadays, food and drink must be registered, so there is less room for maneuver.
