Chapter 416 Internal Affairs

[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

Su Qingyu followed Lu Bocheng around the mansion and spent a lot of time entering the courtyard. Her legs were numb and she was hungry before she stopped.

When they were having lunch in the flower hall, Su Qingyu looked at the food on the table and was dumbfounded.

"Madam, eat quickly. Are you hungry?" Lu Bocheng said as he put vegetables into her bowl.

The food is not that great, but maybe it tastes good. Su Qingnao took a big piece of meat and put it into her mouth...

Bah bah bah.

"Salt doesn't cost money, or have you robbed the salt nest?" Yan Xian Yan Xian.

Look at Lu Bocheng still eating well. She even suspected that there was something wrong with her taste buds.

"You don't find it salty?"

"Ah, is it salty? It's okay. Madam, do you think it's salty? Then I'll ask the kitchen to make it lighter in the future."

"Do you all eat so salty?"

"Everyone usually trains and sweats all over. The military advisers said that they should add some salt to everyone, so they made it a little saltier. After eating it, they got used to it."

This is saltier, it's no different from salt-baked ones.

"Where did you hire this chef? Not only the taste, but also the color, aroma and shape of the dishes. It doesn't matter what you want."

Su Qingyao didn't want to complain, but she felt bad that Lu Bocheng didn't eat well. It would be unbearable if the chef he hired just took the monthly payment and did nothing.

"I didn't hire a cook, so I called a few cooks from the army. Anyway, I usually don't eat much at home, so I eat with everyone in the barracks. I usually stay in the barracks, so I come back to sleep at night. Yes. When I was away fighting, I didn’t come back for several months.”

Seeing Lu Bocheng eating well, Su Qingnao couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Then I'll take some reward money and ask people to bring it to the kitchen later. Thanks to them for cooking for you."

"Then they must be extremely happy. Madam, look at today's dishes. They are much better than usual. They must have come to please you."

Does this dish please her? That is to say, the degree to which the ingredients are cooked.

But for a bunch of rough guys, this is already the highest standard in the kitchen. Su Qingyu wrapped the vegetables and meat in rice and ate them together, which made it easier to eat.

After dinner, Su Qingyu and Lu Bocheng were sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. Before they had finished drinking tea, several cooks from the kitchen ran over. A fat middle-aged chef led several young cooks to thank her.

"Thank you madam for the reward."

"Thank you ma'am."

"You're welcome. And thank you for taking care of me, sir. Thank you for your hard work."

Several cooks were so flattered that they waved their hands in panic: "It's not hard, it's not hard. Your Majesty is rarely in the house. We have a lot of leisure, we have food, drink, and money. Your Majesty is not kind to us."

Su Qingyu chatted with them for a few words and then asked the cooks to go down.

Looking at their backs, I felt a little sad.

"Are these all retired from the army?" Su Qingyu asked.

The leading chef is lame in one foot, and the other chefs are either blind in one eye or missing an arm. Everyone has some shortcomings.

"Well, they are all homeless, so I will take them in to work in the house."

"What about the other people who have retired from the military?"

"Some people took pension money and returned to their hometowns, and some were homeless. Later, I got a city and found a place to resettle them."

Su Qingyu knew why his mansion was still in such a dilapidated state even though he had five states in his hands.

She walked around and almost every courtyard she entered looked dilapidated. In some yards, the walls are broken and the tiles are gone. They are as mottled as an abandoned house and overgrown with weeds.

It's not repaired or taken care of, and it seems like there's no money to spare.

"I don't see any maids in this house? All the cooking is done by men, but what about the laundry and cleaning?"

"What do you want from a bunch of rough guys? Do you need someone else to do the laundry? Don't you have any hands? Cleaning is done by a few cooks and guards. Anyone who has time will do a few sweeps." Lu Bocheng said nonchalantly.

Su Qingyu clicked her tongue twice, this is no way to live a good life. This is really, really unscrupulous.

However, it is difficult for them to expect a group of gangsters fighting on the battlefield to pay attention to these internal affairs.

After Lu Bocheng finished speaking, he paused.

It could be like this before, but now that the wife is here, it can't be like this, right? Let a group of big soldiers serve the lady? Lu Bocheng shivered a few times. They were not eunuchs.

"Madam, after you have rested, I will have someone take you for a walk in the city, and you can buy some girls. From now on, I will leave everything in the backyard to you. I won't care about it."

"Okay." I can't count on him.

After lunch and a short rest, Su Qingyu called over Guo, Xiang Shang and others.

"Have Mr. Pei's grandparents and his family been settled?"

"It will be placed in the first courtyard. The courtyard is quite large. It is enough for them and their group to live in." Xiang Shang replied.

"Where's Xian Niang?"

"Master Gu came back and asked me to report to Madam that they wanted to continue living in the mansion. They said that Mrs. Xian also has a wife to take care of her when Master Gu is not around." Mrs. Guo replied.

Su Qingyu nodded: "Then you can find a quieter courtyard in the mansion for the couple."

"Yes." Mrs. Guo responded, and then said: "Madam, there are many generals living in the seventh courtyard now. I'm afraid it's not good to live here like this."

Su Qingyu thought for a while and said: "Place the original people in the first, second, third and fourth entrances. We will live in the fifth and sixth entrances. The seventh entrance is the school grounds and will be assigned to the gatekeepers and guards at the back door."

"Yes."

"Should we hire or buy some maids? Now that the lady has moved in, it would be inconvenient without maids." Xiang Shang said.

Su Qing'an nodded and said to Guo: "Take the guards to the city's dentistry and buy some people. Oh, and see if there are any cooks, and invite a few back."

When they heard this, they burst out laughing.

It seems that not only them, but even the lady can't eat the food cooked by the cooks in the mansion.

Then Su Qing'an ordered Xiang Shang to buy and hire people to repair the mansion.

Just after arranging things with Guo and others, the quartermaster Ying Cheng ran over with the account book, said a few words, and then piled up the account book and ran away.

After running a few steps, he was relieved to see that the lady didn't send anyone to catch him.

He was a good quartermaster, and it was too difficult for him to be caught by the adults to manage the accounts in the mansion. He was more comfortable in the barracks.

Su Qing'an saw him running so fast, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She took the account book, flipped through it for a few times, and then she was dizzy and threw it to Xiang Shang.

"Madam, judging from this account, there is no money in the mansion."

"Well, your master said that a sum of money will be taken from the army every month to the mansion. The accounts of the mansion and the army are done together. The mansion has no other income, all of which are transferred from the army. If there is no money, it will be taken from the other side."

"What about in the future?"

"In the future, the army is the army, and the mansion is the mansion. I will give you a sum of money, you open the account office in the mansion, and then go out to see if there is any profitable business to do. The mansion cannot be mixed with the army. There must be an economic source to support this mansion."

"Yes."

After arranging the internal affairs of the mansion, seeing that Pei Xi had rested well, he invited him to see Lu Bocheng.
