After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion
Chapter 21 Restaurant Audit
At 9:00 p.m. the next day, Yun Zhihan got up.
The maids were quite curious when they saw her getting ready to wash. Madam usually doesn't get up at noon, but she got up so early today? Maybe something big happened.
Jin Shang couldn't help but be curious, and while serving her, he asked, "Madam, you are dressed so beautifully today, what's the matter?"
"You little girl, you have such a sweet mouth. Did you eat candied fruit today?" Yun Zhihan explained, "Nothing, I just wanted to go to the restaurant to have a look."
"You and Shuanghua should pack up as well. We are leaving now."
"Yes! Madam."
When they heard that they were going out, the two girls were extremely happy.
After washing up, Yun Zhihan didn’t even have time to eat breakfast and just waited for the big meal at noon.
As soon as I walked out of the mansion, I heard the system remind me, "Hanhan, your third son is lying on the eaves."
"Huh? Why is he lying on the eaves so early in the morning instead of going to school? Is he practicing Toad Kung Fu?"
"No, he wants to know where you're going?"
Yun Zhihan shook his head helplessly. This kid’s personality was too weird.
So she fell back, looked up at the eaves, and shouted, "Bochen, come down!"
When Xie Bochen heard his mother calling him, he jumped up and stood in front of her.
"mother!"
"What are you doing here?"
Xie Bochen lowered his head and snapped his fingers, not knowing how to explain.
Yun Zhihan didn't force him, "Are you free now? Come with me to Yunsheng Restaurant?"
"Okay!" Bai Chen nodded vigorously. He was happy to be with his mother wherever he went.
……
Yunsheng Restaurant.
This was the first time that Yun Zhihan saw his own restaurant after traveling through the book. It had two floors. The first floor accommodated individual guests, and the second floor was a private room that received some court ministers or officials' families.
When Lin Da saw Mrs. Xie coming, he hurried over to greet her.
"Greetings to Madam Xie and Master Chen."
"Butler Lin, there's no need to be so polite. We are outside, so there's no need for so many formalities."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yun Zhihan looked around and asked, "When do guests usually come? Why don't we see many people right now?"
"Madam, most of the people who come to our house are regular guests. Since the marquis died on the battlefield, there are fewer guests from the official family."
Lin Da didn't continue speaking, but Yun Zhihan understood that when people leave, the tea gets forgotten, and no matter how the times change, nothing can change that.
"Manager Lin, have you always been in charge of this restaurant?"
"Yes, ma'am. Ever since you opened this restaurant, I have been in charge of it."
"Show me the account books and deeds."
Manager Lin took the order and sent someone to get all the account books and contracts and hand them over to her.
Yun Zhihan was an accountant in her previous life. Although the bookkeeping methods in ancient times were different, she could still basically understand them.
However, the account book is not ugly, what is ugly is the traditional Chinese characters. Isn’t it too complicated?
She sighed softly and called Bo Chen over, "Chen'er, read this contract to me."
"Okay." Although Bo Chen couldn't recognize a few words, he was better than her as a modern person.
"The contract was signed on the Xinmao day of the first month of the eighth year of Chongguang. The contract maker, Shi Mingqi, said that because his grandfather passed away and the family was heavily in debt, he now voluntarily sold the Yunsheng Restaurant to Yun Heli..."
After hearing this, Yun Zhihan suddenly realized that this restaurant was actually owned by the father of the original book's hostess.
She inherited it after her father died, but why did it end up under the name of the Xie family?
Afterwards, she looked through several account books and found that some of the transactions in them did not match.
"Manager Lin, what's going on with this deal? The ingredients were clearly sold, but there was no income? And they were top-quality deer antlers and ginseng?"
After hearing this, Lin Da shuddered with fear. The old lady had specifically reminded him not to tell his wife about this.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yun Zhihan continued to look through the account books at the back and found that there was more than one entry. This situation had occurred repeatedly in the past few years when the mistress was not in charge of the restaurant.
She placed all the problematic account books in front of Lin Da and asked, "Manager Lin, don't you think you should explain? These are all top-quality ingredients."
"How could it disappear without a trace? And among the ingredients used for the guests, there are even inferior ones. No wonder there are so few customers!"
"This..." Lin Da felt guilty towards his wife because she was angry, but he was a loyal servant of the Xie family, and he had to listen to what old lady Xie said.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xie Bochen grabbed Lin Da's collar and yelled, "My mother asked you to speak. Are you deaf or dumb? Speak! Don't force me to do it!"
After saying that, he threw him out with force.
Lin Da fell heavily to the ground, but still kept his lips pursed and said nothing.
Seeing this, Yun Zhihan stopped asking, "Manager Lin, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. From now on, you don't have to manage the restaurant anymore."
"And all your men, send them all away, and temporarily close the restaurant. I will make a decision after I have investigated thoroughly."
Lin was panicked. Mrs. Xie told him that it was okay to get out, but he couldn't touch the people under him. So many people, young and old, depended on the restaurant for their food.
"Thank you, Madam. Please have mercy on me! These things were done by me alone and have nothing to do with others. Madam, please be kind and keep all the people in this house."
Yun Zhihan will not be soft-hearted. She cannot believe crocodile tears. Someone must take responsibility for what her mother-in-law did, but it certainly cannot be her.
"Lin Da, you are a smart person. You have helped them all to rise to prominence. If I keep them, they will surely be plotted against. And you, because you concealed the truth, have ruined so many people. Can you bear it?"
"Since you have worked hard for the Marquis and the old Marquis, I am willing to give you another chance. I hope you can answer truthfully. If you don't, you know the consequences."
"Whether these people go or stay is entirely up to you." Yun Zhihan didn't dare to keep a housekeeper who told lies all the time by his side.
The system raised a banner for her, "Hanhan, well said, that old lady Xie should treat her, otherwise she will die."
This time, the blame fell on Lin Da, and he could not escape it whether he confessed or not.
Lin Da was in great torment. The cook, waiter and waiter beside him all looked at him silently, as if they were helpless and also as if they were begging for help.
They have been following Lin Da for so many years. If they lose this livelihood, life will become even more difficult for the whole family.
Lin Da was extremely confused. After struggling for a long time, he decided to tell the truth. The Marquis had told him before his death to put the interests of the Xie family first and listen more to his wife's advice.
"Thank you Madam, I want you to let these old and young ones go."
Yun Zhihan picked up the tea and took a sip. "Go ahead, remember Lin Da, this is your last chance."
Lin Da nodded, "The old lady asked for these ingredients privately. She said that you work hard day and night, and she didn't want me to tell you about these trivial matters."
"But I didn't expect that the old lady would take more and more. There were even several times when the restaurant had to use fake goods to fool the customers..."
