Qiu Ju left, and everyone waited in the main hall. After half an hour, Qiu Ju led the shopkeeper Wang into the main hall.

"Wang Fu has met Mrs. Song." Manager Wang bowed to Chen Wan. He lowered his head and glanced at Madam Zhang with his eyes, feeling ups and downs.

The maid from the general's mansion went to invite him and said that there was something wrong with the rice and flour I bought in the shop. However, although the rice and flour were traditional, there should be no problem?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the people in this mansion eating the chen rice? Otherwise, they wouldn't have invited him, right?

"Wang..." Chen Wan opened her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth, the madam Zhang said to Manager Wang: "Shopkeeper Wang, I spent 16 taels of silver to buy a thousand kilograms of rice, and eight tons of silver to buy a five hundred kilograms of noodles, right? My wife suspected that I was greedy for money. Shopkeeper, please tell my wife if it's the number! I'm almost dead."

Chen Wan looked at Madam Zhang and smiled. This old woman was smart. Before she could open her mouth, she told Manager Wang about the amount of rice and flour, and she was angry with him.

Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Mrs. Song invited him here for this matter. He thought there was really something wrong with rice and flour!

This Madam Zhang is his old customer. She did not forget herself when she was making money, so she naturally had to cover it up for her.

Manager Wang said: "The day before yesterday, Madam Zhang did buy 1,000 kilograms of rice for 16 taels of silver and 500 kilograms of noodles for 8 taels of noodles."

This Madam Zhang is really making a lot of money! She spent a total of 16 taels of silver to buy rice and flour, and she actually paid so much for twenty-four taels of silver.

Chen Wan calculated in her heart: "Sixteen taels and one thousand kilograms of rice is sixteen cents per pound, and eight taels and five hundred kilograms of noodles is sixteen cents per pound, right?"

Manager Wang thought for a while before nodding, he said, "That's right, it's all sixteen cents per pound."

"Qiuju, just before I asked you to join the storekeeper Wang of the Grain and Oil Shop, I would like to ask the person who bought rice and flour in the grain and oil shop. What is the price of rice and flour purchased in the shop? Did you ask?"

As soon as Chen Wan finished speaking, Madam Zhang and the shopkeeper Wang changed their faces. They did not expect that she would ask Qiu Ju to ask the price of the customers who had bought rice and flour in the shop first. Wouldn't it be a mistake if this happens?

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "I asked, the rice noodles have indeed increased the price. This new rice noodles are sixteen pounds per pound, ten pounds of Chen rice, and nine pounds of Chen noodles."

"So much?" a maid exclaimed.

"There are six or seven more essays!"

"This old lady is greedy for money."

"It's really hateful." Many maids and servants gritted their teeth and cursed at Mrs. Zhang.

Chen Wan raised her hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

After everyone calmed down, she looked at Zhang's father who had already turned pale and said, "Maybe it's not that Zhang's father is greedy for money, but this shopkeeper Wang saw that the people in our General's Mansion were easy to do, so he deliberately raised the price to sell it to our General's Mansion in Zhenbei?"

Manager Wang was panicked and waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I didn't sell it to the general's mansion at a high price. It was this woman who was greedy for money and quoted a high price for her wife. Wherever she was in me, she only spent 16 taels of silver."

He was a small shopkeeper who couldn't afford it, so he was charged with raising the price to buy it for the general's mansion.

"Madam Zhang, you are so ungrateful! You have been greedy for so much money, so give us Chenmi noodles."

"No need to say, she also reported the money for buying vegetables and meat."

"A black-hearted woman."

Everyone blamed them, and Madam Zhang was in a cold sweat and cursed. This Madam Zhang was really hateful. She was greedy for money, but she told them that it was the eldest lady who surrendered their food, which made them misunderstand the eldest lady for a while.

"Oh?" Chen Wan looked at the shopkeeper Wang and said, "Then why did you want to cover it up for her just now?"

If there is no interest involved, he has no reason to help this old lady cover up.

The shopkeeper Wang lowered his head and said in a difficult manner: "I didn't go back to this old lady to buy it. I would give me one or two more pennies per catty, so..."

Chen Wan: "That's why you helped her cover it up?"

Manager Wang clicked, looking at Chen Wan with pleading in his eyes, "I am wrong about this. I also asked Mrs. Song to make a lot of money. Don't bother with me, don't tell my boss about this."

He is also a person who helps the boss. If the boss knows this, the boss will definitely think that he is not honest and he will not be able to do the shopkeeper. He has both old and young people at home. If he loses this job, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind.

Chen Wan didn't think about how to deal with Manager Wang, so she let him go.

This old lady naturally had no way to argue, so she had to admit her guilt. Chen Wan asked Qiuju to take her people to the place where she lives and searched out all the money she had greedy for over the years. There were more than 300 taels. Chen Wan left her twenty taels, and then asked her to pack up her things and drove her out of the general's mansion, and gave the 300 taels of silver to her, and promoted her to an honest and capable cook to do business.

The servants all say that Chen Wan is kind-hearted and that people like Mrs. Zhang should be beaten with dozens of bans before being driven out of the mansion.
