Chapter 298 The Concubine of the Imperial Prince 6
Guo Qin foolishly took out her dowry money to help support the family!
Unexpectedly, this difficulty is even more difficult than the 81 difficulties. It is really a hurdle at every step!
After a few times, Guo Qin finally reacted, but it was too late to back out!
Her family is not strong enough, her biological father and stepmother don't care about her at all, and no one supports her, so she can only think of other ways.
Fortunately, she had some housekeeping power at that time. She bribed some people and quickly and secretly transported part of the dowry out of the house, exchanged it for silver, and then hid it!
When Guo Qin's dowry box was empty, the masters in the mansion thought that they had lost everything. Then they realized that there was nothing more to gain from her, so they got rid of the damn housekeeper power!
However, Zheng Xueyi did not let her go completely and let her take charge of the greenhouse!
Originally, Zheng Xueyi wanted to ask Guo Qin to cultivate some rare flowers, but Guo Qin pretended not to hear!
Just grow some ordinary flowers, the kind that can buy a big bag of flower seeds for one or two taels of silver!
Whatever other loves he has, at most it’s just that a few masters in the mansion don’t like him!
She regretted that she figured it out too late.
If she had figured it out earlier, she wouldn't have to please the owner of the palace. As long as she had money, she could live a good life. She wouldn't have invested so much!
The more than ten thousand taels of silver that Qi Baoying sent today can not only make up for the money she spent in the mansion that year, but also make her some money!
How could Guo Qin not be happy!
Since everyone in the mansion had their own plans, Qi Baoying's mischievous behavior as soon as she entered the mansion was successfully avoided!
After Qi Baoying and Lian Cui and Lian Yu came back, she asked about the reactions from various places and immediately began to prepare her own small kitchen!
It is true that there is a small kitchen in the yard, but it has probably never been used before.
If I don’t clean up now, I’ll be hungry tonight!
Money makes the world go round.
After Lian Cui and Lian Yu came back, Qi Baoying asked Lian Yu to run again and call the chef and kitchen manager over!
The chef and the steward heard early in the morning that Qi Baoying was now in charge of the kitchen in the mansion.
But I haven't received the news that Qi Baoying has already distributed the food expenses of each master in the kitchen to them individually!
As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.
When they heard Qi Baoying calling them, they thought it was the first time a new official had just taken office, so they quickly put down their work and followed her!
When Qi Baoying saw the visitor, she said straight to the point, "My small kitchen is going to start cooking from today, and I'm short of a chef.
Do you have a suitable cook? Introduce one to me! The monthly salary is three taels."
The chef was overjoyed when he heard this. Men were not allowed to enter the backyard casually, but his wife had learned cooking since she was a child.
Even some of his own skills were taught by his wife.
Now the new concubine is looking for a cook, this is simply pie in the sky!
"Don't worry, Auntie. I have the right person here. I'll bring her over in a moment!"
Qi Baoying expressed her satisfaction and continued, "Also, I will inform you in advance about the daily ingredients, and you two can help me buy them.
You were all in charge of the kitchen before, so you are more familiar with this aspect.
Let's try it out for a while. If you don't do a good job, I'll consider replacing you!"
Qi Baoying gestured to Lian Cui, "This is a reward for you. You did a great job, and there's an extra reward!"
Qi Baoying deliberately created opportunities for the two people who hold the final say in the kitchen to make money!
With her identity, she had not had time to hypnotize the maidservant beside her, and she could not use her cultivation methods to control the two people in front of the maidservant, so she could only use normal inner house methods for the time being.
Her practice of distributing food expenses not only disgusted the masters in the mansion, but also cut off the kitchen's source of income!
The Anfeng Palace is indeed poor. Although it is not easy to gain some benefits in the palace, it is not completely impossible!
The chef and the steward can still make some money!
Leave the cooking work in the kitchen to the chef, and let them discuss and handle the purchasing of ingredients themselves.
This gives them the opportunity to create conflicts!
As long as these two people become greedy and want to monopolize this benefit, they will have to restrain each other.
When it comes to interests, even brothers may become enemies, let alone expect these two people to coexist peacefully, which is basically impossible!
By spending a little money, Qi Baoying can save herself a lot of trouble!
This deal is worth it!
Not only was Qi Baoying busy cleaning the small kitchen, but Guo Qin was also busy having fun!
Her small kitchen could only be used to boil water and heat food, and nothing else.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she plans to teach herself in the future.
As long as she doesn't spend any money on the mansion, with the money she has hidden, plus the silver Qi Baoying sent her today, she can live a comfortable life even if the mansion doesn't give her a penny in the future!
Just pretend that your husband is dead and you are a widow!
Even Zheng Xueyi had a satisfying meal tonight. The meal cost less than half a tael of silver and it tasted quite good!
This is much better than before when I had to pay for supplements for the old princess for every meal!
By the time of dinner, Qi Baoying had already arranged everything, and the kitchen was fully stocked!
The cook also officially took up her post and used her skills to prepare two dishes and a soup, her signature dish, for Qi Baoying!
This is what Qi Baoying requested. Two dishes and one soup are enough for each meal. It would be a waste to make too much.
Make two more snacks every day to fill your stomach when you are hungry.
The master doesn't have much to do, and the cook is so happy.
The chef was also happy because Guo Qin and Qi Baoying no longer ate in the big kitchen, so their workload was reduced but their salary did not decrease.
The wife at home can earn a salary every month. Just thinking about this life is wonderful.
After serving their master in the evening, the couple poured two taels of wine and drank it together to celebrate.
These days are becoming more and more promising!
Anyway, in this mansion now, except for the old princess and Xiao Tianshuo, everyone else is very happy.
Qi Baoying was halfway through her dinner when she didn't expect Xiao Tianshuo to show up!
I originally thought that after Qi Baoying caused such a scene today, the prince would at least ignore her for a few days to let her see who is the boss in this mansion.
But I didn't expect that he was so flexible and acted as if nothing had happened!
Qi Baoying was eating. When she looked up and saw Xiao Tianshuo coming, she was also good at pretending. She stood up and saluted as if nothing had happened: "I greet the prince!"
Xiao Tianshuo stretched out his hand to help Qi Baoying up and said, "Baoying, there's no need for so many formalities. Why didn't you wait for me?"
As he said this, he looked at the food on the table.
"Why are you eating so simply? Is it because the food in the mansion is not to your liking?
This prince will find a chef from Jiangnan tomorrow to take care of Baoying's three meals a day!"
