Brother Jiu glanced at the group of people on his side.
He started on his way before dawn, resting for two quarters of an hour in the middle. When he was tired, he said to the man walking in the main pipe: "Get settled first..."
The manager responded and led the group to the left side room.
The rooms here are much smaller than those in the palace two days ago.
The previous two places, not counting the places where the Holy Master was stationed, only had two courtyards with seven or eight houses in the front and back, and there were about a hundred houses.
It's a little smaller here.
Except for the Wujin courtyard where the holy driver is stationed in the middle, the left and right roads are lined with row houses.
Each row is composed of five-to-six north and south rooms, divided into three small suites.
When Brother Ninth saw it, he occupied the second row and made arrangements.
He and Shu Shu lived in the middle two rooms, and the left one was given to the tenth prince, and the right one was given to the thirteenth prince.
The palace servants and eunuchs were carrying large and small luggage,
Brother Jiu took out his pocket watch and looked at it, feeling a little anxious.
It is already noon.
Calculating the holy team, if it was early, Shen Chu would have arrived, but if it was late, Shen Zheng would also have arrived.
There are less than two hours left.
Brother Jiu didn’t know where to start.
He didn't want to show his timidity in front of his brothers, so he pulled Shu Shu into the inner room and asked secretly: "Where should I start? What should I check? It looks very clean. I asked the chef in the kitchen and the ingredients are ready." complete……"
Shu Shu's mind was spinning.
The hospitality provided here is nothing more than food and accommodation.
Living, the repairs and cleaning of the palace are all on the surface, and nothing can be seen for a while.
The rest is food.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs allocates money, and the bank arranges the supply of materials in accordance with the standards here.
There is a high probability that there will be no problem with the royal meal and the food of the accompanying concubines and princes, and they don't dare to fool them.
What about the food supply for the accompanying guards of the Three Banners and the soldiers of the Eight Banners?
The guards are all of high rank and have extraordinary family backgrounds. They will not tolerate being wronged, and ordinary people cannot afford to offend them.
What about the Eight Banners Armor?
Each flag has its own kitchen, and after receiving the ingredients, they go back and make their own distribution.
It’s not easy to skimp either. The Eight Banners Commander and Deputy Commander are not vegetarians.
Only by colluding with each other can this matter be settled.
It's just that those who can achieve the title of Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief are mostly nobles of the Eight Banners. They will not take a general manager of a clothing line in their eyes, and they will not take a blind eye to the food money of dozens of taels of silver.
In fact, there are still some people whose food supply is easily overlooked.
That is the accompanying palace servants, eunuchs and others, serving in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
There were a lot of people, maybe hundreds of people in total.
If Brother Ninth wants to get involved in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he must be this "censorious" villain.
Shu Shu immediately pointed out this: "To say that the deduction is insufficient, it should be in the kitchen of the palace... The palace ladies and the nuns are also supplied with a pound of meat every day, and the same is true for the eunuchs with a little respect..." Here, she walked to the door and asked Xiao Song to come in: "How was your food yesterday and the day before yesterday? What kind of dishes did you have?"
After hearing this, Xiao Song couldn't help grinning: "It's the same thing both days, just a stewed cabbage...the cabbage is not overcooked, and there's not even a hint of oil star..."
Shu Shu asked again: "Where is the regular dish of walnuts?"
Xiaosong's daily ration is based on the rules of "women in the family". There is no meat, only rice, vegetables and salt.
Xiaosong shook his head: "It's said to be pork stewed with cabbage, but it looks similar to the slave's, except that there are two more pieces of meat the size of a small fingernail! Fortunately, Fujin prepared street vegetables and seaweed buns in advance, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat them at all. Rice, rice also has a musty smell..."
Walnut is the "lady of the palace" and is provided with one pound of pork for every meal, both in the palace and out of the palace.
This is not Kangxi's grace, but basic daily supply.
Brother Jiu frowned and thought about the palace ladies, deacons, eunuchs, and others who came out, and there were about a hundred people with pork supplies.
Go check it out for this?
Even if it is found out that they withheld dozens of kilograms of pork, is it too much to make a fuss about?
Shu Shu waved her hand and sent Xiao Song out, then said: "The emperor will make his own decision on big and small matters... I just fulfill my responsibilities... If I can find out such small things, doesn't it mean that I am careful..."
Brother Jiu was encouraged and stood up immediately: "Yes, it must be shown that I am doing my job with all my heart... If I do it thoroughly, then Ama Khan will hand over the serious errand..."
Brother Jiu didn't need anyone to lead him, so he took He Yuzhu to the dining room.
The dining room is in the northeast corner, and it is also a five-story terraced house.
There is a partition in the middle, four rooms on one side, which are kitchens, and stoves on three sides, with dozens of large and small stoves on them.
The stove hole on the west side is larger, with a steamer placed on it. This side should be a white table.
On the other two sides are the red case and the small stir-fry.
On the other side of the kitchen, the two separate rooms are temporary warehouses, which contain various ingredients, including prepared pork, mutton, chicken, duck, etc., as well as various seasonal vegetables and fruits.
Brother Jiu stood at the door and glanced casually a few times. In fact, he had already made a mental count of the approximate number of pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks.
I really can see something is wrong!
There are two kinds of pork, two suckling pigs under fifty kilograms, and only half a fan of ordinary large pigs, which add up to more than a hundred kilograms.
One skinned large sheep and two lambs.
There are five or six chickens and ducks in total.
In the dining room here, the queen mother is responsible for the food and drinks of the emperor, the queen mother, the concubines, the prince, and Fujin.
These people add up to several times the amount of these meats each time.
It turns out that it’s not just the palace servants and eunuchs who have been deducted, but where is the bulk? !
Brother Jiu was so shocked that he didn't show it on his face.
After receiving the news, the manager came over and said, "This place is dirty and messy. Why is Master Jiu here? If you have anything to do, just give me your order..."
"Fu Jin wants to feed the Queen Mother and Khan Amma..."
Brother Jiu looked at the fat manager and replied smoothly.
The steward was attentive and pointed to the two empty stoves on the north side of the kitchen, and then pointed to the two cooks next to them: "Then I will arrange two masters to wait for Fujin's orders..."
Brother Jiu nodded and left with a bit of disgust.
The manager personally sent it out. It wasn't until Brother Jiu returned to his residence that he turned away and returned to the dining room.
"How long has Master Jiu been here? What did you ask?"
He called the steward and asked.
The steward replied: "When I arrived, I stood there and looked inside and outside... Don't worry, manager, everything is done in accordance with the rules. There is nothing to fault..."
After all, he is the prince's elder brother. As a general manager, he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter. He still hopes to deal with the ninth elder brother.
Now it seems that even if Brother Ninth gets married, he is just a kid with high ambitions and low abilities, so don't take it too seriously.
But Jiu Fujin... is famous in the Ministry of Internal Affairs...
All the managers in the line were careful and gave instructions carefully: "Jiu Fujin is not an ordinary person. He must serve him respectfully and be obedient. No one is allowed to bite his tongue! If anyone offends this living king of hell, don't say anything at that time." If you get punished and lose your job, your whole family will lose their dignity..."
The steward's voice responded: "Don't worry, manager. Who dares to offend this person after eating a leopard? You must be very respectful. It's only for two days. There's nothing you can't tolerate..."

Not far from the dining room, there is another courtyard with two rooms, which are also kitchens for the palace people.
Sun Jin brought a young eunuch and strolled over.
The people inside were busy and preparing dishes.
Seeing a stranger coming, one of the bitter-faced cooks looked over and said impatiently: "We haven't started preparing yet... Shen Zheng has just started serving food here..."
Sun Jin took out a bunch of money and stuffed it into the palm of the cook's hand: "Master, I just want to ask, can you add more food? It's rare to come out and I met two fellow villagers who wanted to drink a few cups..."
The cook took the money, but was still impatient. He pointed to the pile of vegetables in the corner of the room: "Take a look for yourself. Besides radish and cabbage, what can you do? Cold cabbage or cold radish?"
Sun Jin pointed to the two pork fans in the corner: "Isn't there still meat? You can also fry the meat slices..."
"That's not from here. It will be collected soon..."
The cook had short hands and was afraid of accidentally offending someone he shouldn't have offended. He got up and rummaged through the vegetables, wrapped up two cucumbers and a head of garlic, and stuffed them directly into Sun Jin's hands: "Take it, take it, this is It’s a good drink, it’s delicious!”
Sun Jin accepted it with a smile, and hid the cucumbers and garlic in his sleeves when he went out, so as not to attract suspicion.

In the row house.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I really underestimated them... How dare you, the masters even gave me their food..."
After more than a month of marriage, he is no longer a little elder brother who is ignorant of worldly affairs. He has grown up a lot with Shu Shu'er, and he probably knows the daily supply of the masters at all levels in the palace.
The emperor's own share is thirty kilograms of pork, two sheep, and eight chickens and ducks.
The Queen Mother has a piglet, a sheep, a chicken and a duck.
Concubine, nine pounds of pork.
Concubine, there are six catties and eight taels of pork.
Sir, six pounds of pork.
Agree, one pound of pork is eighty taels.
Prince Fujin, twenty pounds of pork.
Prince, six pounds of pork.
After these people came out, the total daily allowance was more than two hundred kilograms of pork, three sheep, and ten chickens and ducks.
"The money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have been fully allocated, but the supply here is 50% less..."
Brother Jiu's eyes shone brightly: "I thought it was just the palace people's oil and water that got stuck, but I didn't expect that I was so brave, but I gave away all my credit for nothing..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but feel suspicious after hearing this.
The courage of corruption is nurtured little by little.
He even dares to reach out for the imperial meal, what else is there that he dares not to reach out for? !
With this thought in mind, she looked around at her residence.
According to the previous report from the manager, the renovation was completed in July.
The walls all around are covered with white paper, which looks clean and bright.
The furniture and furnishings in the house are relatively simple and plain. They should be arranged in a unified manner and have been repainted.
The only thing that seemed slightly refined was the incense burner placed on the round table.
Cigarette smoke curled up and the room was filled with the scent of sandalwood.
There seems to be other smells in the sandalwood scent.
Shu Shu's sense of smell was relatively sensitive, so she got up and followed the source of the smell, directly to the wall.
She reached out and touched the wall. She was a little surprised because the white paper was not flat.
Wasn't it just repaired?
Why isn't it flat?
