The chef's eyes lit up, he was pleasantly surprised for a moment, and then hesitated again, hesitantly said: "Do you want to sign a contract with the little one?"
"Of course the contract needs to be signed. You can sign a living contract. If you don't want to work in my house, I also have a restaurant in my house. You can go in and try it. I think your little white crisps are delicious."
The chef became nervous, wanting to go, but also afraid.
As for Chang'an, it is said that the place is full of gold and pearls, and the adults there are all dressed in silk and satin, and eat white rice and white noodles. Just looking at this nobleman's demeanor, he is extraordinary.
If I can follow him...
The chef asked cautiously: "The little family..."
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a villain, so I won't let you be separated. You can bring your family with you."
He pointed to Daji and said: "If you are interested, you can talk to Daji if you have any doubts. I think you have good skills. You are a bit inferior to staying here. If you go to Chang'an, you may be able to show your strengths, and you may not be successful. "
Chang'an, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, is a place that many people yearn for. Even if the chef is far away in Goguryeo, he still yearns for it.
But leaving his hometown and a familiar place still made him a little apprehensive, mainly because he didn't quite understand what the current treatment for this noble man was.
So he knelt down and kowtowed his head, and said, "I want to think about it, little one."
Bai Shan nodded, "Yes, you can think about it slowly."
After the chef went out, he went to Daji to inquire about it. He asked Daji curiously, "Is your lord a servant of a noble family?"
It is actually a kind of honor to be a servant among the servants, and you can use the power of the master's family.
Daji said: "It used to be, but now I'm a good citizen, but I'm still a follower by the young master's side."
The head chef's eyes brightened when he heard that, "Then it must be that the adults have great abilities and have made great contributions to the master's family, so this is the credit?"
Daji just smiled, and didn't want to say much at first, but after thinking about it, he said: "It's okay, but the two sons in the family are also promising, and one is about to study for the imperial examination, so the old lady Endian gave me books. "
To be able to study the imperial examination, the chef held his heart, this is a big deal to change the family.
The chef lowered his voice and asked, "Is your family prosperous?"
"Our young master comes from the Bai family in Longzhou."
The chef couldn't understand it, but it sounded very powerful.
He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "I don't know how the wages of the servants in the family are calculated?"
This is very auspicious, and the treatment in the kitchen has always been relatively good. The person in charge of the cook directly gets the same salary as the big maid, a sliver of money every month, and clothes for all seasons. You don’t have to worry about food and lodging. Anyway, it's not bad.
The chef asked in a low voice, "I don't know how much rice can be bought in Chang'an with a sling of money?"
"This year, it's worth eighty dou per penny."
The chef quivered his lips and asked, "White, white rice?"
Daji nodded: "White rice."
The chef became more and more excited.
Daji continued: "There are restaurants, restaurants and tea shops at home. If you don't want to stay in the mansion, you can also go to these places to be the chef."
Da Ji paused and said, "Their wages are not low."
Daji is an honest man, and he can’t say anything particularly nice, but the chef and other guards and soldiers have also inquired about Chang’an, and they heard that Anshi City is similar to a small town next to the capital, and every county there is prosperous. Incomparably, tourists are like weaving.
Buildings are generally not lower than the third floor, the roads are spacious, people from all countries are there, pearls and gems are everywhere...
Xue Gui walked past them expressionlessly, he didn't quite understand what Bai Shan meant, what's the use of trying so hard to subdue a cook
It can't really be to make small white crisps to bring people back to the capital, right
Then when Bai Shan came to show his loyalty with the chef and his family and expressed his willingness to follow Bai Shan back to Chang'an, Bai Shan smiled slightly and immediately established a ten-year contract of living with them.
He said: "Ten years later, if you still want to stay in my house, then you can continue to stay. If you don't want to, I can settle in Chang'an for you as a good residence."
The chef was very moved and kowtowed again and again.
Then Bai Shan gave him a bag of golden beans, and said with a smile: "Repress this beforehand, now that the two countries are at war, it's not easy to publicize, so you know I know it will be better, you take these golden beans, and go buy more tomorrow Good food, I want to treat General Yuan Yi and several adults to dinner."
"Yes." The chef bowed and took it.
After a pause, Bai Shan smiled and said: "Generals, please eat well and drink well, and drink well or badly. I wonder which store in this city has good wine?"
The chef thought for a while and said: "Some wealthy businessmen and families have good wines in their possession, but these wines are not easy to buy. It's a pity that the restaurants are closed now."
"I also know that good wine is hard to come by, but this is my first time entertaining guests, so it must be perfect," Bai Shan said with a smile: "In my opinion, good wine is hard to come by, but as long as there are enough chips, someone will sell it. Come on —”
Then some soldiers and guards came up with several bolts of cloth.
These are all the good things they found when they stormed Liaodong City and Baiyan City, and Bai Shan specially brought them here.
He and the straight-eyed chef said: "This is the silk I brought from Chang'an. Maybe someone will like it. You can try to exchange it. It would be great if you can get two or three jars of good wine."
The chef nodded again and again, and went out with his things in his arms.
He didn't dare to ignore such a good thing.
So in less than two hours, half of the rich families and wealthy businessmen in Anshi City knew that the envoys of the Jin Kingdom who came from the opposite side were not only generous, but also lived a luxurious life. They wanted to eat fresh vegetables and good meat every day. And good wine.
Just because he wanted to entertain General Yuan Yi and others, he was willing to exchange four horses of excellent silk for fine wine, what a waste of money.
This is the discussion of well-informed people. The vast majority of ordinary people don't know who Bai Shan is, and they don't know that the envoys are coming. They are just worried. They don't know when this battle will last.
But some people think a lot, they have access to the highest secrets, and they can also know the minds of certain people.
In a large courtyard in the south of the city, a young man walked into the house quickly, with a servant behind him holding a piece of cloth, and told his father the news he had just received, "The son made his own decision and gave the other party a jar of wine."
The middle-aged man got up to look at the silk and satin, touched it and said: "It is indeed a high-quality silk and satin."
"I heard it was brought from the capital."
The middle-aged man sneered and said: "He is here to march and fight, not to do business. What are you doing with such fine silk? I guess it is a spoil of war confiscated from other cities."
"My son is ashamed."
The middle-aged man said indifferently: "What is there to be ashamed of? It's not fake. But this envoy is indeed smart and arrogant."
From the first day Bai Shan came here, many people have been staring at him and the Senate, and they also want to know whether they can negotiate peace, or...surrender.
So they all know the recipes that Bai Shan has not repeated in the past few days, no matter whether he is a pampered family member or not, he is very arrogant anyway.
And the second prince tolerated his arrogance, which is very intriguing.
The middle-aged man said: "Go and get another jar of good wine, let's go for a walk tomorrow."
"yes."
