As soon as Shen Qingyun's words came out, everyone fell silent.

Mrs. Tian was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what Shen Qingyun's words meant, that she was going to be dismissed from her post. She screamed: "Second Miss, what are you going to do? You're going to drive me away indiscriminately, boss." You are so unjust. Who dares to do things for the Duke's government like you do? Doesn't this hurt the hearts of us old servants?"

"In that case, let's talk about it properly." Shen Qingyun's voice was unhurried, but full of pressure.

Mrs. Tian's eyes widened, but she didn't dare to defend herself rashly, waiting to see what the second young lady could say.

"Let's talk about food first. The old lady is reciting the Buddha's name. Yansongtang's food has always been light, but look at the dishes in the past few days, crystal hooves, anchovy fins, milk horns, auspicious dragons flying together, bergamot golden scrolls, and dried hydrangeas. Scallops, fried guinea fowl, fish fillets in milk sauce, dried Lianfu sea cucumbers..." Shen Qingyun smiled and looked at Mrs. Tian: "I wonder if you think my grandmother can eat so much meaty food every day even though she devotes herself to worshiping Buddha. ?”

Mrs. Tian was dumbfounded. She could tell that the old lady was really getting drunk every day and eating so much!

"Well, as the old woman is getting older, she has to take nourishment and maintain her health..."

As Mrs. Tian spoke, her eyes moved around nervously.

"Really? My grandmother often taught me not to be extravagant and wasteful in daily life, but also to eat more vegetarian meals to reduce the number of sins. In addition, vegetarian food can harmonize the four major elements, facilitate all roots, smooth qi and blood, increase concentration, and know the amount of food. Being content with few desires is an indispensable condition for achieving the magical power of meditation.”

Shen Qingyun held her chin with her hand and seemed to be thinking: "Hey, Yicui, let's do this. Why don't you take Mrs. Tian to Yansongtang and ask Grandma face to face to see if Grandma eats too much or is a bit dirty? People are so audacious to take advantage of it!"

By the end of her words, Mrs. Tian was already dizzy. She quickly took the initiative and said: "Second Miss, leave it to the servant. I will find out the situation in the next few days! The old lady is kind-hearted, and it must be the little bitch underneath."

"Oh." Shen Qingyun flipped the page in his hand and continued: "There are more than one place. Sister Sisi is petite and cute, but she has a big appetite! Eight-treasure rabbits, jade bamboo shoots and bracken, Small steamed buns, roasted golden silk, Luohan prawns, fried scallops on skewers, beef tenderloin stir-fried with green onions, braised chicken, fresh mushrooms and cabbage, not to mention two servings of bird's nests every day, this..."

"Hey, why didn't I eat this top-quality abalone from Nuanyuge Pavilion yesterday? Could it be that my mother added something to the meal last night but didn't tell me?"

As Shen Qingyun spoke, the cold sweat on Mrs. Tian's back became even more intense.

"Now, do you still think the expense of a large kitchen is okay?"

"Little... miss... it's my fault in disciplining you."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyun smiled like a spring flower blooming, but in Mrs. Tian's eyes, the dark eyes looked like a soul-locking ghost.

"Come here, pull down this lying slave. The Duke's mansion can't afford to support such a moth! Grandma Sun, you can take charge of the big kitchen for the time being. Tomorrow, you can draw up a detailed and appropriate cost for the big kitchen for me. If you can do it, Okay, I’ll let you take over as the manager!”

The named Mrs. Sun is the second-in-command of the big kitchen. She has been suppressed by Mrs. Tian for so many years. This moment is really an opportunity from heaven. She is overjoyed: "Thank you Miss Second for your appreciation. I will definitely complete the task and live up to the trust of Miss!" "

One of the maids went to pull Mrs. Tian away, but Mrs. Tian howled like a slaughtered pig and cried loudly for the second lady to spare her life, but she was still dragged down.

Shen Qingyun felt it was not enough: "Manager Zhou, you are in charge of the furnishings at home. Sister Sisi has changed five vases, two sets of tea sets, and eight dishes this week. What do you mean?"

Manager Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I would like to inform you, Miss Second, that the maid in the eldest lady's room was careless and broke it while cleaning. The eldest lady is kind and did not pursue any further investigation."

"Sister Sisi is too soft-hearted to be fooled by these unscrupulous slaves. What kind of maid is so clumsy? Why not sell it and replace it with a better one. In order to prevent this from happening again, the decorations in each room will be replaced every month in the future. No more than three items, please give orders."

"Yes Yes."

Although Manager Zhou looked troubled, he did not dare to object to Shen Qingyun's words despite Mrs. Tian's situation.

"I won't point out the other issues one by one today. Everyone go down and discuss them. Give me a charter tomorrow. If you can't do it well, replace it with someone who can do it well."

Shen Qingyun glanced at everyone: "Of course, those who have done well and have ideas can report to me tomorrow. I will decide on rewards or even promotions as appropriate."

Under the combination of kindness and power, everyone no longer felt as relaxed as when they first arrived, but responded nervously, and they no longer dared to underestimate Shen Qingyun.

In this way, the government began to make drastic changes.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the daily meals. The old lady and Shen Sisi actually didn't eat much, but they were always extravagant, and the meals were plentiful and rich. Each of them would take a small bite and then throw away the whole plate.

This is no longer possible. If there is only one person, it is stipulated that each meal per room should not exceed four dishes and one soup. If there are people coming to eat together, there will be one more dish for one more person, and so on.

As for things like bird's nest and nourishing soup, no more than one serving per room per day is allowed.

The old lady’s Yansongtang allows for one more vegetarian dish.

If it's not enough, you can also pay for more from the kitchen.

Naturally, Mrs. Han had no objection. She was usually simple, and her food and clothing expenses were not considered extravagant.

Shen Zhifeng often goes out, and he doesn't know how much cutting down on expenses will affect him, so he doesn't care.
