Chapter 558
While watching and chanting, Nian Ruyi's face became darker and darker, and her heart gradually became waves and was overturning.
Some of the prices in the account book have increased by more than doubled. The market price of eggs worth three cents per piece has risen four times when it arrives here, and there is also nine cents per pound of rice. The market price of thigh rice worth twenty-three cents per pound is sixteen cents per pound, and the market price of glutinous rice worth sixty cents per pound has become a sky-high price of sixty cents per pound.
It seems that the price of the shopping list that Li Ma signed for her just now has been reduced by her a lot. If it is as registered in this account book, then Li Ma will swallow nearly twice the daily chew for the Yuan Palace.
However, in such a serious situation, Yuan Jinhong was confused, "What are you doing for this? Is there any problem with the price of this dish?"
“Yes, there are big problems.”
Nian Ruyi closed the account book and said, "I want you to send someone to investigate the Mao family and son, especially the account book of the shop they are in. You can take one and I will take a look."
"What does it mean?" Yuan Jinhong sat upright and straightened his waist. "Do you suspect that the Mao family has embezzled the Yuan family's money?"
"It's either suspicion or embezzlement."
For a young master who might not even be able to tell the difference between grains, Nian Ruyi did not expect him to be able to understand the price list in the market.
She said, "In the market, an egg costs four cents and a pound of rice costs nine cents. They are all the best. A five-pound chicken costs about eighty cents. But in this account book, you have to buy fifty chickens almost every day, each of which costs five hundred cents."
"I have to buy 200 kilograms of meat, twenty fish, beef, mutton, duck, and wild game every day. Have you ever thought about how many people in the Yuan Palace are there? Can you eat so much meat every day? There are thousands of kilograms of vegetables, hundreds of kilograms of fruit, two thousand kilograms of rice, and five hundred kilograms of white flour. I'm afraid everyone has to eat like this to eat so much food, right?"
Therefore, Li Ma not only raised the price, but also falsely reported the quantity.
No wonder, before this, the Yuan Palace used chewing 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver every month. With such a steward who was consuming silver, I'm afraid that most of the 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver would be in her pocket.
She had previously guessed that Li's mother had swallowed about 50,000 yuan of the Yuan family's silver a year, but she also guessed that she had to increase the amount by at least three times. The silver she swallowed in a year was at least 150,000 taels of silver.
Tsk tsk tsk...
This is a bit too ruthless.
"Damn, wow, wow, wow, wow..." Yuan Jinhong, who finally understood and understood, was so shocked that his whole eyes almost glared out. He jumped up, "I'll go find her, damn it, this is treating my Yuan family as her Mao family's banknote."
"Wait a minute." Nian Ruyi grabbed him and said, "Don't be impulsive. What do you think Li Ma can be so arrogant?"
"What's up to you, it's up to you, the ancestors trust her."
"Yes, my ancestors trust her so much, and you just go to her so angry, will she recognize her?" Nian Ruyi pulled him down again and whispered, "You are like this, go and find all the suppliers first, and then..."
Yuan Jinhong's mouth was grinning, and his face was filled with evil smile, "Ruyi, you are still smart, I know that my ancestors gave the Yuan family inner courtyard to you for management. It's absolutely right. Then I'll go find them now and you'll wait for me."
Yuan Jinhong left excitedly.
Luanfeng worried, "Mrs. Young Madam, once the incident happened, my ancestors would be sad."
