Chapter 56: Show off your power
I don’t understand, who knows what your rules are?
But did everyone dare to say this? Naturally, they could only lower their heads and say "yes" one by one. However, a group of people who were usually excluded felt alive in their hearts and thought to themselves: I wonder what Aunt Xin is doing? If she doesn't flatter and flatter her, then what will happen to her?
If we just focus on doing things, isn't our opportunity now?
Dozens of people had their own thoughts. Xin Nian's eyes saw the expressions on these people's faces, and Fang said in a deep voice: "I am not an unreasonable person, and I also know that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. But there is a truth in everything.
Degree, my rule is that you cannot exceed this degree. What did the Li family say just now? She is old and can’t even remember the most basic information about these absentees. She is so old and confused, not to mention such an important and complicated place as the kitchen.
I'm afraid I'm not qualified for the job. I don't know, but you can just take off the job of being the kitchen manager."
Everyone immediately burst into an uproar. They knew that Aunt Xin was not easy to deal with, but they didn’t expect that she would be so difficult to deal with. This is too cruel and disrespectful of martial ethics. At least give her a chance to change her ways. How can you do it right away?
Have you fucked someone off? Do you want to lose your military morale? Do you still want to maintain stability? The kitchen is an important place. Once there is a commotion, you, Aunt Xin, are not afraid that you will not be able to eat and have to walk around?
I think so in my heart, but everyone’s necks are shorter than a tortoise. It’s hard to find a job in the kitchen that is not tiring, decent and can sneak in food, even with a lantern. Don’t look at these people, some of them are glaring and some are curling their lips.
, but the body’s reaction is honest.
The Li family's daughter-in-law couldn't stand any longer. She knelt down with a plop and said with tears: "Aunt Xin, please let me think about it. I will think about it again. These eighteen people..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xinghua coming over with the account book. Xin Nian waved his hand: "Stop first." After saying that, he looked at Xinghua and asked softly: "How is it?"
"Going back to grandma, the first thing I looked at was coal, which was 800 kilograms short, and then the rice grain..."
Xinghua leaned in front of Xin Nian and her voice was very low, but the women in front of them raised their ears and could barely hear anything.
The face of the Li family's daughter-in-law lost her green color and became as pale as paper. Within a moment, her kneeling body softened into a puddle of mud.
Xin Nian raised his head to look at her, gently rubbed the account book, and said calmly: "There is a lot of shortfall here. From the Li family, do you still think you need to think about it?"
"Aunt...I..."
The Li family's daughter-in-law couldn't say anything and could only kowtow. Xin Nian said lightly: "The debt is so bad, don't expect me to take the blame for you, go find your grandma, Xinghua will take all the losses."
Now that you've written it clearly, you can show your account book to grandma. I don't care how you deal with it. Anyway, from now on, you're no longer in the kitchen of the Li family."
After saying that, he threw the account book to Li's wife, turned to Xinghua and said: "From now on, according to the existing ones, re-register and make a book to see if there is enough for a few days. If there is a shortage, just find it if you can't help it."
Grandma will approve the purchase again."
"yes."
Xinghua agreed. She also had a general understanding of the kitchen, so she chose two honest women with whom she had spoken before to accompany her.
Here Xin Nian said to the remaining people: "I just said that the kitchen is really ridiculous these days. I was a little confused at first, but when I came here today, I kind of understand it. It turns out that you guys, a bunch of slaves, actually
The masters are divided into three, six or nine grades. Such mean and stupid behavior cannot be said but can only be corrected slowly."
After saying that, he stood up and walked slowly: "I said the ugly thing first. Since I want to correct it, I will never give up halfway. If some people are dissatisfied, please stand up now. I have no objections and will allow you to go to grandma's place by yourself."
How about changing errands? Does anyone want to leave?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads together. Xin Nian smiled coldly and said lightly: "I know your thoughts. You want to endure the humiliation and bear the burden first, and maybe send me away one day. Whatever, you are willing.
If you have a dream, just do it. Anyway, I have said everything that needs to be said. Don’t cry all over the place and accuse me of being harsh. If you want to leave then, I may not be so easy to talk to."
So you are still easy to talk to? What will it be like if you are not easy to talk to?
Several mothers-in-law who were usually close to the Li family's daughter-in-law were frightened in their hearts, but they really couldn't bear to take this job. Just when they were wondering, they saw Xin Nian suddenly stood still and said in a deep voice: "From now on, who of you have ever done it before?"
I don’t care who is close to the Li family’s daughter-in-law and who is alienated from her. I only look at your ability to do things. I can’t keep those from the Li family. Next, I will choose a new steward. I will give you three days to prepare. In three days,
I'll do the assessment, and whoever can win the assessment will be the new manager. In the past three days, the kitchen will be temporarily managed by Du Sanniang. Okay, what else do you want to ask?"
These words made everyone's thoughts come alive again, and a woman came forward and said cautiously: "I wonder what my aunt is going to take the test? Can you tell us first so that everyone can be better prepared?"
Xin Nian smiled and said leisurely: "I don't need to tell you this. You just want to think about what things you need to be familiar with to be a kitchen steward? I will test these things. If you don't even know this, it means that you are not qualified to be a steward.
Just don’t waste your time.”
Everyone lowered their heads and curled their lips, feeling a little unconvinced, and said to themselves: It sounds grand, but it doesn't mean that we are nepotistic, and we don't give standards. When the time comes, it's you who has the final say who you want to use as a manager.
Then I thought: Alas! Who wouldn't be like this? The Liao family used the daughter-in-law of the Li family because she was hers and she usually flattered her well. This has always been the case in this house, so why should we insist on justice and fairness?
Thinking this way, all the resentment and resentment in my heart disappeared.
Of course, there are also a few well-informed daughters-in-law who are still very active in vying for the position of steward, so they go home at night to discuss with their families and think hard about what kind of talents and qualities are needed to be a steward, let alone these.
Just talking about Xin Nian, when she returned to Qingliang Courtyard, she just drank a cup of tea when she heard Xinghua say doubtfully: "I don't understand, no matter how hard I think about it, since I want to test the talents of those people in the kitchen, why don't I take the test on the spot?"
"You just want them to go back and prepare, but you don't tell them what to prepare. It's better to finish the exam on the spot."
Xin Nian smiled and said: "What kind of test? I just made it up."
Xinghua had an "I knew it" look on her face, and she suppressed a smile and said, "Why is this? Is Auntie angry that they are flattering them and trying to trick them on purpose?"
"That's not true."
Xin Nian shook his head, put down the tea cup and said slowly: "In my opinion, I prefer to let Du Sanniang be the steward. You have said that she is kind and has a chivalrous heart. In the past, so many people stepped on us, but she still
Dare to come forward and give us something, which shows that this person is kind-hearted, has ideas, and is popular. Otherwise, just because she helps us, she should be squeezed out. Most importantly, her cooking skills are also very good.
