Chapter 572 Do You Want to Subdivide Itself

He thought that since the restaurant was located in the mansion of the marquis, Qian's coming to the restaurant to get food was the same as going to the main kitchen in the mansion to get food.

So I didn't stop them at all, I just asked the kitchen to make a note of it. But the amount today was wrong.

At noon, Rong Yu did not go back to the house to eat. Qian was the only master here, and with the old women and maids around her, they did not need so much food.

Hualei's mind moved slightly, and she asked Qingqi to take a look at the restaurant's account book. After taking a look, she found that it was very good.

Just now, Mrs. Qian took away twelve meat dishes, sixteen vegetable dishes, eight desserts, and six soups and broths. She ordered almost all the meat dishes on the restaurant menu.

Looking back further, I found that less than ten days after the restaurant opened, Qian had started to get food from the restaurant. The amount of food at noon every day was about the same as today. She also got food at night, but she got more at night.

Moreover, ever since the restaurant started serving breakfast, Qian would ask Mrs. Qian to come and get it every day without fail, and the amount far exceeded the prescribed portion size by the kitchen in the capital city.

Even if Qian was a glutton, she couldn't finish all that, right? Hualei frowned slightly, took the abacus beside her, and fiddled with it a few times. She stood up, took Qingqi and Qinghua out of the restaurant, followed by Ziyun and Ziyan.

After a cup of tea, Hualei arrived at the door of Rongyu and Qian's house. The woman guarding the door was a servant of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion.

Seeing Hualei coming to the door, she hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Hualei in, while loudly announcing the news. Hualei followed the maid into the row of houses where Qian lived.

In the dining room on the east side, Hualei saw Qian and her second sister-in-law eating slowly. The table was full of dishes that Mrs. Qian had just brought back from the restaurant.

In the small room next door, a group of maids and servants of Madam Qian Er and several maids around Qian were also eating. Hua Lei took a look and saw that the food was also brought back from the restaurant.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Qian stood up when she saw Hua Lei and asked in surprise. Hua Lei had never come to her house since she moved in.

"Oh, it's the young lady. How come you have time to come here today?" Madam Qian also put down the chopsticks in her hand, wiped her mouth with a cloth, and asked with a somewhat unnatural smile.

Hua Lei smiled and said, "So the Second Madam is here too? I was at the restaurant and saw Mrs. Qian coming to get food.

After asking the shopkeeper, I found out that the second wife was also a frequent customer of our restaurant, but she did not visit our restaurant directly.

So, I was thinking, is the Second Madam dissatisfied with the service of our restaurant? So I came here specially to ask for the Second Madam's opinion and suggestions.

I will also ask our waiters to improve and serve the Second Madam more attentively." Hua Lei glanced at the many dishes left on the table and smiled again.

"Second Madam, have you finished eating? There are still so many dishes left. It seems that the dishes in our restaurant do not suit Second Madam's taste.

Madam, if you bring it up, I'll ask the chef to make some changes to make sure you're satisfied." Hua Lei found a chair and sat down.

"No, no, the food in the restaurant of the Marquis' Mansion is delicious, I like it very much." Mrs. Qian replied with a smile.

"That's good. I saw the second wife's maids and servants next door eating voraciously. I think the food should taste good."

Hualei still smiled cheerfully, and said to Qinghua behind her, "Qinghua, give the restaurant bill to Madam Qian Er and settle it."

Qing Hua took out a bill from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Madam Qian Er with both hands, and said with a smile, "Madam Er, this is the detailed account of your meals in the restaurant during this period.

I asked my husband to calculate it for you. The reward is 208 taels. Our wife said that we can give you 8 taels for free and only give you 200 taels. I hope that the second wife can continue to take care of our restaurant business in the future. "

"Let me pay the money, Madam, you...what do you mean?" Madam Qian screamed.

Hua Lei asked in surprise, "Second Madam, isn't it normal to pay for meals? I have carefully looked through the account books. You have been taking care of our restaurant's business since it opened less than ten days ago.

I have taken food every morning, noon and night, but I have never paid a penny. Isn't it normal for me to come here and get the monthly payment now?"

"But, but, this is not..." Mrs. Qian glanced at Qian on the side.

"Sister-in-law..., I asked Mrs. Qian to take these." Qian on the side spoke with a guilty look on her face.

"I know, you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law, so you took it together and ate it together. You are already married, but you still eat with your sister-in-law every day. I really envy your relationship."

Hua Lei smiled and said, then paused, "But I averaged the cost of the food you guys took and only charged half of it. Why? Do you want to break it down further?"

Who eats this dish and who pays for it? This is a bit troublesome, but as long as you list the details, I can ask Shopkeeper Pei to calculate the cost for you separately. "Hua Lei asked with some embarrassment.

"No, sister-in-law, why should I ask my sister-in-law to pay for the dishes I get?" Qian's face flushed.

"So what the second sister-in-law means is.... Should I ask the second sister-in-law for the meal money? The second sister-in-law wants to pay for your second sister-in-law? That's fine, I treat you equally and will take two hundred taels from you."

Hua Lei looked at Qian and said that she had originally wanted to pick Qian out, but since Qian came forward herself, Hua Lei had no reason to refuse.

"Sister-in-law, you know that I got the dishes from the restaurant, and you also got them from the restaurant. Why should I pay for it? Did you pay for it yourself?" Qian said unconvinced.

"Since my second sister-in-law said so, it's fine. Whether it's you or me, we have to pay for the food at the restaurant. I have also counted the money I took home, and it's a total of ninety-eight taels.

The account book is also here, if you don't believe it, you can check it out." Hua Lei took out a silver note of 100 taels from her sleeve and put it in Qing Hua's hand.

She said, "Qinghua, put this into the restaurant's account later, and tell your husband, Shopkeeper Pei, that no matter who comes to the restaurant, they must pay for their meals in the future."

He turned around and said to Qian, "Second sister-in-law, you have a total of 416 taels. Would you like to give me silver notes or silver ingots?"

"........" Qian's face was extremely ugly. Mrs. Qian's second wife also looked unhappy.

"What? Do you think I counted you too much? Do you want me to count it again?" Hua Lei sat there, speaking slowly and steadily.
