Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 215 Account Books and Salary Issues

"Sister! The doctor said last time that you are just a little tired, you just need to rest and replenish your body."

Fang Yao's heart skipped a beat. Hearing what Jiang said, it seemed that she already knew about her illness.

She grabbed Jiang Shi's hand nervously, "Sister, don't think about it, it's just that you are too tired on weekdays, so don't..."

"You girl, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Jiang interrupted her with a funny face, "I'm saying that now I've had enough to eat and drink every day, so I don't need to buy some special supplements to replenish my body."

"what……"

Fang Yao opened her mouth slightly.

She secretly looked carefully at Jiang's expression, the latter's face was peaceful and tranquil, and the flash of loneliness and sadness before seemed to be her illusion.

It turned out that I was thinking too much...

Thinking of this, Fang Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly eased her expression: "Sister, this medicine does not cost money, we found it in the mountains."

As she spoke, she helped to open the oil-paper package and took out a small black ball, "Come and taste it."

Before Mrs. Jiang tasted it, Ah Wu Niang's high-pitched complaining voice came from downstairs outside.

"What the hell is the innkeeper doing? No one has come back after so long. There is no hot water in the kitchen. We have to boil it ourselves."

"Princess Changli from the capital city is here, and many ordinary people are running to watch the excitement. Fourth Grandma, I also want to see what the princess looks like..."

"What's so interesting, the princess also has two eyes and one mouth, can she have another head? Listen to your fourth grandma, it's best not to go to those crowded places in the future."

Fang Yao was a little surprised, this little old lady has always been a spectator, why she hadn't seen her for a few days, she suddenly changed her sex.

Jiang Shi took the pill in her hand, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Wu Niang led Erya and the others to go shopping, and met a juggling troupe to watch the excitement for a while, and when she came back, she found that the money bag had been cut off."

Fang Yao suddenly realized, no wonder she lost her money because of the fun.

"Because of this, Awu Niang and the patriarch had a big fight, and they haven't spoken much for several days."

Mrs. Jiang took the pill, took a few bites in her mouth, frowned slightly, but soon relaxed it, and after swallowing it, she asked curiously, "Although the medicine tastes bitter, but the aftertaste is very fragrant, what is it called?" name?"

"I'm not too sure, I just saw that people in Qingfeng County eat this..."

Fang Yao pretended not to know, she dared not tell Jiang Shi that it was a Gu insect corpse, so as not to frighten the latter.

She wanted to ask if she felt any better after taking the pills, but after thinking about it, Jiang Shi was not poisoned, how could it be effective so quickly, so she endured it.

Soon, there was the sound of moccasin boots stepping on the wooden floor outside the door, and it was Erya who came to tell her that the hot water was ready.

Fang Yao told Jiang to put away the medicine, and went downstairs with Er Ya.

The kitchen is in the backyard of the inn.

The yard wasn't too small, but at this time their carriages and ox carts took up most of the field, leaving a small half open.

When Fang Yao came down, although it was completely dark, there were still many people busy.

Rhubarb wagged his tail and hopped around the yard, occasionally teasing the hen in the coop behind the carriage, but was scolded by Erya with a stick.

Two big lanterns were hung one behind the other in the courtyard. Beside the well built of bluestone bricks, women such as Gouwaniang and Eryaniang gathered around there, mixing the hot water with the well water to wash the men. Clothes that are almost covered with starch.

The inn does not have a separate bathroom, and the bath can only be used as a wooden barrel in the house.

It's a pity that the house is too small, there are several people living in one room, even if there is a screen, everyone is uncomfortable.

Li Fugui simply set up two bathing tents in the backyard of the inn, and the hot water left over from the bath can be used to soak clothes.

After Fang Yao took a bath in the tent, she washed her clothes, wrung them dry, and hung them on her wooden clothes hanger under the shed extending from the front of the carriage.

In this way, even if it snows or rains in the middle of the night, you will not be afraid of getting wet again.

After drying the clothes, Fang Yao saw Li Fugui who was feeding the horses and cows in the stable not far away.

"Patriarch!"

"Hey! I'll be right there!"

Fang Yao lifted the lantern, pushed open the small door of the carriage, and got in first.

After a while, Li Fugui washed his hands by the well and hurried over.

As soon as he came in, he took out an account book from his body and put it on the coffee table.

Fang Yao used the dim lantern to see the bills that recorded these days, how much money she spent, and what she bought, all of which were clearly remembered.

Because Fan Chen paid for the inn's room and meal expenses in advance, Fang Yao basically didn't spend any money.

Before leaving, she left more than 400 taels of silver to Li Fugui for emergencies.

In addition to the account of firewood, rice, oil and salt, there is a special line of small characters at the bottom of the bill.

[My mother-in-law was stolen, 30 taels. 】

Fang Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this incident was recorded on it, no wonder the two had a cold war for a few days.

"Master, the remaining silver has not been spent yet, I will go back to my room and get it right away..."

"Wait."

Fang Yao stopped Li Fugui, "Patriarch, don't rush to get the money, I have been thinking about something for a long time..."

Seeing her serious expression, Li Fugui's little heart immediately became flustered, and he said nervously: "Master, if you have anything to say, you, just say it..."

"It's like this, you have been following me for more than half a year..."

Fang Yao was still chattering.

Here, Li Fugui's face was ashen, and the master's words seemed to be dismissing them.

"Here is an account book written by myself. You can read it first. I will record everyone's accounts first. I don't have much cash in my hand. I have to buy some food for preparation."

As Fang Yao was talking, she found that Li Fugui's expression was not quite right, and asked tentatively, "Patriarch, what's wrong with you...?"

Li Fugui, who came back to his senses, rubbed his cloudy old eyes and said excitedly: "Master, what do you mean..."

"I mean, keep the remaining money in your hand first, and when I go to the capital, I will take out the money and give everyone... um, salary."

"Big, master..."

Li Fugui's eyes were reddish, his voice was a little choked up, but soon, he rubbed his eyes again, and said happily, "The men haven't rested yet, I'll tell them the news right away!"

Fang Yao nodded: "The more you work, the more you get. The girls, aunts and children who are busy working in the camp also have their share."

Li Fugui was even happier, not only wanted to call the men, but also decided to call all the women who were washing clothes by the well.

However, just as he got out of the carriage happily, he remembered something and turned around and said: "Master, fortunately, you asked me to prepare some food before you left. The price of food in Changli County suddenly rose a few days ago. Today, the price of rice has gone up." It sold for 70 taels of silver a load."

Fang Yao, who was still silently settling accounts, suddenly stopped, and asked in surprise, "70 taels?"

"Yeah, when we asked that day, it was only 15 taels..."

Li Fugui hadn't finished speaking when there was a faint scream outside.

"save--"

The sound stopped abruptly.
