Thank you very much-

In this case, the restaurant is not allowed under normal circumstances, but at this time, the occasional restaurant staff who pass by can only roll their eyes when they see it - they have prevented it before. However, the result of the prevention was that the trainees brought their plates back to the guest rooms to eat with their companions, which made it easier to dirty the guest room, and they had to turn a blind eye later.

Of course, no matter how large the breakfast provided by the Joan Navy was, it would not be possible to meet the needs of three people at the same time, let alone five people over there. But these officials had already taken countermeasures -- I saw that the eldest master Shi Xianzhi was sitting in a hurry and was in a hurry, and the little man next to him was very skillful in dividing a bowl of porridge into three parts, along with the pickles and radish strips for the meal, including a boiled egg that was cut in half, and the master and the master were each in half. At last...... He took out another bag of dry food, took out a few steamed buns from it, and distributed one in front of each person, so that he could definitely fill his stomach.

These steamed buns are bought from small stalls outside, and they are very cheap. To the modern eye, it must be a bit embarrassing to buy something from a stall outside and bring it to a fancy restaurant, but Shi Kefa and the other officials who did so didn't seem afraid of losing face...... Picking up the steamed bun and looking at it, Master Shi suddenly asked again:

"Why do you always buy white-flour steamed buns? I seem to see that there are also multigrain steamed buns sold over there. ”

The little guy next to him obviously knows his lord's temperament very well, and immediately reported:

"Master Hui: The white-flour steamed buns and multigrain steamed buns here are all at the same price."

"Oh......" Shi Kefa nodded, "Then I'll buy white noodles from now on." ”

The three of them began to eat. Not far away, two modern people, Zhao Lide and Ying Rongwei, had just eaten breakfast and were slowly enjoying an after-dinner coffee - they wanted a Western-style meal. Seeing this scene, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

As one of the leaders of the engineering team, Ying Rongwei also personally participated in the design and construction of this villa, and this time he came to carry out follow-up services to inspect and repair the house and equipment. In the past few days, because I have dealt with the staff of the guest house a lot, I have really heard a lot of bad things about these Ming officials.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The big girls and boys in the housekeeping department were all angry, saying that these poor sours were simply slamming the door to the extreme. It's normal for three people to squeeze into a room with an extra bed - there are five people at a table over there, and they don't want more. ”

"Can we fit five people into our standard room? It's not a one-night affair, it's going to be a month. ”

Ade was puzzled, and Ying Rongwei smiled:

"There are four stuffed in the room, and one little guy is left to lay under the stairs in the hallway, and the climate here can't freeze people anyway...... I usually help sweep the floor or something, and my brothers and sisters call sweetly on my mouth, and the housekeeping department is not good at driving people. can only secretly joke in private, saying that he will lose his share to the Ming court. ”

But Zhao Lide didn't laugh, but nodded with feeling:

"Think about our business trips before, if we can't be reimbursed with public funds, the table is similar to them...... It seems that the standard of three yuan per day is still high for this era, and there are few people who can afford it. ”

- Indeed, looking at the inside of the restaurant, except for these students who pay the bills on their behalf, most of the others are also mostly members of the Qiong Navy and the trading company itself, and they can enjoy the internal accounting, and there are not many ordinary customers who live in the restaurant at their own expense.

Because of the good conditions of this guest house, since its completion, it has been used by the Qiong Navy personnel as a foothold in the Qiongzhou Mansion, and the warehouse compound that was forcibly occupied has been decided to be returned to the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a goodwill from the newly appointed Cheng Governor's Mansion - to be able to get back the real estate of the official mansion from the hands of the short hair, it can be regarded as a political achievement.

No, Ye Gao's family is used to enjoying it in Lingao, but after living in the prefect's yamen, they are very uncomfortable, and they say that the government is really backward, and there is not even a flush toilet! At present, their family also rented a few rooms in the villa to live temporarily, and paid a sum of money to ask Qiong Haijun to send a construction team to help them renovate the prefect's yamen.

…………

Here Ah De and Xiao Ying chatted a few words, dropped a silver dollar as a tip, and left the restaurant, ready to enjoy their weekend vacation. When they passed by Shi Kefa's table before leaving the door, both of them nodded to Lao Shi to say hello, Shi Kefa was a little inexplicable, but he still returned the salute.

After the two of them went out, the master hired by Shi Kefa was puzzled beside him:

"It's strange that those people seem to be very polite to you?"

Shi Kefa nodded, as a cultural person, he had long been keenly aware of this. To say that this is the general kindness of the people to their Ming officials, but it is not like itβ€”the same is true for the short-haired heads of the others. Even his friend Wang Pu and Wang Jieshan are very familiar with Shorthair, and they treat him as equal. Usually in the interaction, you can feel the arrogance that belongs to the Qiong Navy everywhere.

But all the short hairs that belong to the one hundred and thirty-nine "true hairs" often look at him a few more times after hearing his name Shi Kefa, and then they are much more kind and polite in their attitude, and even have a faint sense of respect, which makes Shi Kefa puzzled. Fortunately, the etiquette of the short hair does not require how grand it is, and it is usually past if you nod your head and say hello, otherwise Master Shi is really unbearable.

But the little guy next to him was stupid, not as complicated as the two adults, but he was just happy when he heard the words:

"Of course, our master is a dignified six-class, who dares to be disrespectful!"

Shi Kefa could only smile bitterly when he heard this, and he didn't care about his official position. Not to mention that those genuine people didn't take the official position of the court in their eyes at all - it is said that this time in Shandong, many people made great contributions, and the court wanted to reward them, but the group of short-haired officers except for one person to accept the reward in order to occupy Weihai in the name, the others did not even want the official position given by the Ming Dynasty!

It was those local personnel with a lower status who had served the people of the Ming Dynasty who didn't pay much attention to the officials of the Ming Dynasty - in order to add a bed in the guest room before, so that the stupid boy in front of him would not sleep on the floor, he Shi Da personally went to negotiate with the little girl who was responsible for managing the guest room, but although the request was met, he was severely gouged out several times by others, and he didn't care about his status as a dignified Ming Dynasty six-grade official.

Shaking his head slightly, he stopped talking about the topic. Scrape the porridge bowl clean with the last bit of steamed bread in his hand, stuff it into his mouth, and carefully pick up the food crumbs that fell on the table and eat them, Shi Kefa asked the little follower with a smile:

"Have you figured out where you're going to play today?"

"Go to the city, go to the city! Today, Brother Shi said that he would take us around Fucheng! ”

Children are really easy to divert their thoughts, and they are happy when they hear about going out. Brother Shi is Wang Pu's scholar, and the name of the scholar follows the master: Wang Pu's character is Jieshan, and his scholar's name is called Wang Shishi, and the name is only taken when he is officially an adult, but it has been decided that he will use a "rock" character, which is consistent with the master's "Pu" character.

"Why don't you go to the port? I always hear people say that the big market here in Qiongzhou Mansion is a unique place in the world, the last time I came from the wharf I only glanced at it from a distance, and I did see the people who were luxuriant, and the momentum was like that, and it must be quite impressive. ”

The staff member next to him said slowly, but the little guy grinned when he heard it:

"I originally said that I wanted to go to the beach, but Brother Shi heard Master Wang say: Qionghai Market is the most proud hand of Short Hair, and it will definitely be arranged to visit and visit when the time comes, so there is no need to go alone if time is tight."

- This was the second weekend after they started their training, and on the last "Sunday", the little guy said that he wanted to go around, but at that time Shi Kefa could not adapt to the teaching method of Shorthair, and the progress was a little bit unstable, so he spent the whole weekend catching up with his homework.

Considering that the exam is approaching next weekend, I am afraid that I will not have time to go out again, so Shi Kefa promised to go out for a walk together today. As for where to go, he left the choice to this naughty little guy - he was the only one of the three who was the most leisurely, wandering around these days, and was more familiar with his surroundings.

The courses given to these officers by the Qiong Navy are for their own use, just like the accommodation, meals and other benefits provided to them. Someone once asked us if we could let our master's staff come to the class together, but Ade watched it for a long time, and asked rhetorically - if people do better than you in the exam, can we also use it differently?

Then these officials stopped being verbose and honestly came to class by themselves. However, the staff members they invited were not idle, and during the day, when the main family went to class, they helped to sort out and copy the notes left behind. And get together to discuss with each other, and then study together when the students come back. Most of the people who can be masters have some goods in their stomachs, and they can often put forward some quite novel and sharp points of view under the cold eye, and before Shi Kefa and others raised objections to Ade on simplifying the font, there is a factor of this large group of staff members behind the scenes-as long as there is an official hat in the official, it doesn't matter which doctrine is advocated. But those of them who are acting as curtains for others can really only rely on a pen to eat, and they definitely can't tolerate short-haired tampering with the original culture.

The staff master has something to do, and the servants on duty are bored. The old servants who are older and act steadily are better, and many of the scholars are only in their teens, and it is the time to be playful and noisy, and they usually have to be careful when they are around the old man. But this time, the master has to go to class during the day, and when he comes back at night, he is too busy to take care of them, so he can be regarded as catching a gap for them...... RO! ~!
