No matter how crazy Ren Zhaoyun was, he could never have imagined that on the first day alone, nearly 1,500 people were willing to join his food gang.

In the end, he still underestimated Dong'e's economic level, although the people who held the money were nobles and scholars, but in the rich Qi country, commoners also had a certain amount of assets.

It's just three taels and five grains, it's not too cheap; If it weren't for the requirement that the ingredients come with it later, I'm afraid the number of people in the gate would have exceeded three or four thousand on the first day.

But 1,500 is already a lot of horror, you must know that Confucius's disciples are only 3,000, and he accounts for half of them.

Thinking about it this way, it seems a little excited.

But gossip aside, the management of more than 1,500 people is still a big problem, and in the end, Zhaoyun divided 300 people into a hall, and 1,500 people always served as a rudder, because he vaguely felt that he might have many helmsmen in the future.

Under the hall master, Zhaoyun set up a one-star to five-star chef, one star is the most, accounting for two hundred and forty people, two stars and forty people, three stars and ten people, four stars and five people, and five stars and five people.

As for the hall master and the helmsman, it is the money that is given; After all, he is not a private "school", but a government-run "school" with the support of Qi State, and he must give face to nobles and scholars.

However, the number of people is relatively small now, so there are only six people in the hall master and the helmsman in total, all of which are obtained by bidding, and they are all snatched by the local scholars of Dong'e, but Zhaoyun also makes a lot of money from this, as for how many? At least buy a dozen properties in Dong'e is no problem.

He didn't expect that these people would be willing to spend such a large amount of money in order to cater to King Qi.

But maybe these people are just just greedy and want these guys to help with the cooking?

All in all, with such a large sect, it is much easier to brew the two main spices of soy sauce and vinegar, after all, the flavor of the sauce is too strong, and it is really unpleasant to use it for cooking. It's a pity that there is no chili pepper, which makes people's stomachs much lighter.

However, not all places eat spicy, just like Dong'e City, where it is now, people here are not spicy, but like to eat salty, so there must be people who like tofu sauce without chili peppers.

As for the oil necessary for the bean paste...... Well, it's really troublesome, you have to go to rapeseed to extract oil.

With oil, you can try to stir-fry, and I don't know if the iron-smelting technology at this time is up to standard, and whether you can make a qualified wok. If you can, then you will really become a pioneer in the Chinese kitchen industry!

By the time Zhaoyun had arranged everything, it was already dusk. He returned to the palace tiredly, and said in his heart that he must find an alliance leader quickly, otherwise if he tosses like this, I am afraid that he will definitely have to reduce his life expectancy by fifty years.

"Coming back?"

However, as soon as he entered the door, what was waiting for him was the familiar and unfamiliar middle-aged man. His hair was still black and shiny, but there was a faint white in the middle, which was regrettable.

Ziyang sat aside in a regular manner, and it was obvious that he had just been lectured by this middle-aged man; As for what he was preaching, Zhaoyun didn't know, but it must have something to do with him, otherwise he wouldn't look at himself like a resentful woman.

"Lord Zou, why are you here?"

Zou Ji put down the jujube in his hand, squinted his eyes at Zhaoyun who was smiling all over his face, and said with a smile: "Why do you say I came?" Guarding Linzi is a good idle errand, just because of the good things you have done, I am tired to death! ”

Zhaoyun was puzzled, scratched his head and asked, "Lord Zou, I don't understand what you mean......

Zou Ji knocked on the table, and seemed to be still very calm and said: "Did you tell Sun Boling that you should go back to save your villagers?" ”

"It is true."

Zou Ji slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Since you know, then you still went to Dong'a to lobby inexplicably, and you actually said that the current King of Wei was dead!" Sun Boling was crazy when he heard this, lest the king force you to leave behind and mistake the lives of your villagers! ”

"Uh...... Master Lao Zou took the words and thanked the master for me. ”

"Is this something you can take away with a word of thanks?" Zou Ji's anger continued unabated, and he had already walked out of his seat and stood in front of Zhaoyun, "Tell me, why are you wasting time here?" ”

Zhaoyun smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Zou, you can't blame me for this, it's all Su Qin'......"

"Who is Su Qin?"

Ziyang said leisurely: "You go to the stove room of the palace, and he is the boss lying on the top of his stomach on the ground." ”

Zou Ji's face changed suddenly, and he roared angrily: "A fool who can only eat can leave you here? How incompetent you are, boy! ”

"This guy is so shameless, so I have no choice but to lobby the King of Qi......" Zhaoyun couldn't help but complain, Su Qin, the root of all evil, he really wanted to split alive!

Immediately afterwards, Zhaoyun explained what happened that day, and after learning that Su Qin was Sun Boling's junior brother, Zou Ji's face gradually calmed down, and it was no wonder why Zhaoyun couldn't refuse him.

"That's it, but you...... Why do you want to show off your cooking skills again? Originally, the king just wanted to entrap you, if I hadn't come in time, you would have been either my official of Qi or a dead man now! ”

"But it's no wonder that he was born late, it's still Su Qin'......"

Zou Ji said angrily: "Su Qin, Su Qin, Su Qin...... Is this Su Qin your life? If he asks you to cook, you will cook, so if he wants you to die, do you have to die? Ouch, I'm so mad! ”

Zhaoyun saw Zou Ji covering his forehead with a painful look, and hurriedly comforted: "Lord Zou is angry, he knows that he is wrong in his later life, and he knows that he is wrong......

Zhaoyun's apology was insincere, but Zou Ji really didn't have any way to deal with him, after all, Sun Boling liked this apprentice's tightness, otherwise he wouldn't let him solve the matter here, so he could only say leisurely: "That's it, let you recruit disciples, it's my idea for the king, you quickly teach those people a little cooking, and leave quickly!" ”

"No."

Zou Ji was relieved at this time, sat down slowly, and asked: "I have also heard of today's grand occasion, but I didn't expect that eighty percent of the ten thousand households in Dong'a went to see this grand occasion. Anyway, how many people were accepted? ”

Zhaoyun stretched out his two hands and compared: "More than 1,500." ”

Zou Ji's hand banging on the table suddenly stopped, and he looked at Zhaoyun in disbelief: "Fifteen hundred? In the past, soldiers and horses were recruited, and two thousand could still be mobilized from Dong'e City in one day, and you would be 1,500? ”

"This is not too little, if I hadn't raised my requirements later, I'm afraid there would have been three thousand today."

Zou Ji sat on the ground weakly and asked puzzledly: "It's just cooking, how can so many people be interested?" ”

Zhaoyun sat next to Ziyang and asked with a smile, "Lord Zou, do you like the dishes I make?" ”

Although Zou Ji wanted to suppress Zhaoyun very much, he had no way to lie to his tongue, so he could only nod helplessly: "Your dishes are really delicious, don't say it's me, I'm afraid that the kings of all countries, even Zhou Tianzi, will love it." ”

Zhaoyun smiled: "Since the adults like it, and the king likes it, then why don't the people like it?" Wouldn't the scholars and the nobles like it? Since they like it, there will be people who want to learn and try to do it; Moreover, there are so many nobles in various countries, as long as they master such a skill, even if there are too many cooks in Qi Kingdom, they can eat in other countries. ”

What is it called? Does Emerging Industries Determine Employment Trends?

If he said that, Zou Ji might not understand, so he could only tell him a big vernacular.

"I see, I seem to be able to understand...... Zou Ji nodded, turned to look at Zhaoyun seriously, and got to the point: "Since there are more than 1,500 people, when will you finish teaching them one by one?" ”

Zhaoyun explained: "I don't have to teach all of them one by one, I just need to find a few people who know how to cook and hand over some representative dishes." After all, a sect has already been established, and I can't just leave it alone and come back to teach new dishes later. ”

Zou Ji nodded, as long as Zhaoyun knew how to do it, then the next thing would be easy to do.

"How many days are you going to settle it?"

Zhaoyun confidently raised a slap and said with a smile: "Five days." ”
