Su Yunjin glanced at the menu and couldn't help but feel heartache. Two taels a day equates to sixty taels a month and over 700 taels of silver a year. This was simply too expensive.
Actually, Chen Jie knew it was not expensive.
Because the Chen Residence provided meals, this table of twelve dishes seemingly served only for their family of four, including Xiao Hu.
In reality, there were also four maidservants, four servants, house slaves, and the guards of the Chen family.
Out of these twelve dishes, there were six meat dishes, which the family could feast on without restraint.
But they definitely could not finish all of that, and the rest would be shared among the maidservants, servants, and others, with each perhaps only getting a small piece of meat and a few vegetarian dishes.
That is to say, when Chen Jie's family ate, they determined the day's meals for the entire household, maidservants, and servants, dozens of people.
