Chapter 6: The Best Maid

For example, a relative of the same sub-caste (a branch of the greater caste) in Shakru, who came from a family of administrative bureaucrats and had a family of six people over three generations, which is not a large family in India (the largest family in India is one or two hundred), and they have two drivers, a cook, a maid who works in the house, a yard sweeper, a gardener, a nanny, and a gatekeeper, a total of eight servants.

The reason why Indians need so many servants is not that the house is large, there is more work at home, and more people are needed than the Chinese imagine. It is because the servants in India must strictly distinguish between "types of work" and cannot mess with the rules. For example, the wealthy in India generally employ cooks from the best Brahmin castes, because the rich themselves are often Brahmin or Kshatriya castes and can only eat food made by Brahmins. The cook, on the other hand, can cook because of his high caste, but he can't do "waiting" work such as serving dishes, so he also needs a maid who works in the house. The maid in the house was reluctant to do the work of cleaning the yard, because the outdoor broom was considered to be "inferior" to the indoor servant. The gardener is a specialized profession, and the son often inherits the father's business, so he needs to hire someone specially. The children in the family need to be taken care of by a nanny, the gatekeeper needs a special doorman, and the driver is a "full-time" driver. This is quite light, in the British colonial period, the division of labor of servants at that time was more detailed, even including special housekeepers, dog walkers, hunting responsible for shouting and driving prey, ironing clothes, emptying toilets, etc., and each "job" has a special Hindi name, which can be described as complete. And because everyone is responsible for the type of work is specialized, so the salary is not much, even in 2015, the monthly salary of an Indian servant is a few hundred yuan, well, the chef's salary is the highest, after all, people are Brahmins. In fact, the servants in the city are quite good, but the really miserable ones are the servants in the villages, which are not much different from slaves.

Shakru is not a pure Indian after all, and his house doesn't have a garden or anything, so he just wants to hire a maid to clean up the house, as for the cook, forget it, he really can't eat Indian food, or he makes his own food to eat more comfortably. (I have the opportunity to popularize the eating habits of India, please don't read this kind of content while eating, so as not to affect your appetite, anyway, I was disgusted when I checked the information.) )

In India there is a dedicated domestic market, but externally it is called a labor market. When the staff of the market heard that this brassin brother with a gorgeous dress (who had just bought a new dress) and a handsome face had come to look for a maid, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Mr. Pandit, you are really lucky, we happen to have a superb maid here, and only your noble status is worthy of such a maid, you wait a moment, I will call her over." ”

The unexpected enthusiasm of the staff made Shakru a little uncomfortable, could it be that this maid still has the best and the worst? This is not playing an online game, but also what is the best, excellent, legendary, and epic

However, when Shakru saw the maid brought by the staff, he immediately felt that they were not wrong, this maid was really Tai Chi, and it could even be said to be perfect.

I saw that the girl in front of me who was called a maid had fair and delicate skin, a tall and graceful figure, and delicate and beautiful facial features, etc., no, why is her skin so white, how can this be a maid, this should obviously be from a high-caste family, how can she run to the maid market to be a maid?

Probably seeing the confusion in Shakru's eyes, the staff explained: "This Shire girl was originally from the Shukla family, but because she made an unforgivable mistake, she was expelled from the family, and she just came to us three days ago to look for a job. Although her work skills may not be as good as those of the experienced maids, she is definitely worthy of you, and" With that, the staff gave Shakru a look that all men knew.

However, Shakru didn't have the heart to pay attention to this kind of look for the time being, but was slightly shocked by this news, how big a mistake must this be to be expelled from the family? AND SHUKLA (SHUKLA) IS A VERY HIGH-LEVEL SURNAME, WHICH TRANSLATES TO "PURE WHITE", AND IN ANCIENT TIMES, EVEN KSHATRIYAS HAD TO KISS SOMEONE'S BOOTS WHEN THEY ENCOUNTERED SUCH A SURNAME.

At this time, Shakru suddenly reacted and asked, "Shukla?" Wouldn't it be the one that caused a sensation in society in the previous paragraph? ”

The staff nodded and replied, "That's right, that's it." And Miss Charles's face was even more gloomy and embarrassed.

At this time, Shakru finally understood what was going on, in fact, it was quite a sensation in New Delhi and even in the whole of India.

The reason is that a high-caste girl is too deeply influenced by foreign TV dramas and books, naively thinking that love can overcome all obstacles, and dissatisfied with the fat Brahmin fiancé assigned to her by the family, so she eloped with the young and handsome Dalit driver boy in the family.

As mentioned earlier, reverse marriage is not allowed in India (that is, high-caste girls marry low-caste boys), especially in a traditional and noble family like Shukla, this situation is an insult to the whole family, so the patriarch was furious, not only put the captured young man to death, but also sent someone to turn the young man's two younger sisters into X, and even blackened their faces and paraded in the streets, although the girl was not physically harmed, But expulsion from the family itself is the biggest punishment for this kind of delicate woman who grew up in a honey pot. (It's true, it just didn't happen in 1990, it happened in 2013, but it was all in 2013, let alone more than 20 years ago.) )

On the one hand, Shakru was indignant that such naked racial discrimination could appear in the Indian society, which is known as an absolute democracy, and on the other hand, he lamented that this Shire girl was too young, how could she do such a naïve thing, just by how far the two young people could run out, and even if they ran away, the future life would definitely be different from what she imagined.

But even so, Shakru decided to help the Shire girl, because if the scheming Kshatriyas or Vaishyas hired her away, her future fate would be unimaginably miserable, and although she was not a pure good person, she could not at least take advantage of the danger of others.
