Chapter 162: The Ma Family's New Cook
And he really has no money on him, and at the same time, he can't find any prey even if he goes out of the city this season, and he will never take another risk with the giant polygonal worm.
With no money and no financial resources, it's still a question of how long you can be in the city like this, let alone find an opportunity to blend into the aristocratic district, and you have to think of some way.
With this in mind, he silently walked the streets of the Tucheng business district, pretending to be indifferent, but paying great attention to every detail of the people around him.
Unlike the aristocratic district, most people living in the commercial district cannot enter the aristocratic district, but both commoners and nobles will come to the commercial district from time to time to buy something.
But people with noble and powerful status will not condescend to walk into this kind of place casually, so I inadvertently see people entering and leaving the aristocratic area, except for the guards who change the guard, some people whose status is actually very ordinary.
However, even the lowest-looking helpers have conspicuous family marks on their clothes, and their movements and postures are completely different from ordinary people, making them look particularly high-profile.
He Ming looked at these high-spirited subordinates with some amusement, their foreheads looking at the sky, would they hook down and look at the floor again the moment they walked into the aristocratic area?
Maybe the opportunity is in these people, where the noble big man, eighty percent of them don't know how many of these people, as long as he can win the trust of a small person, mix into the aristocratic area to do chores, not only solve the problem of eating, but also take the opportunity to find out the news that can't be obtained outside, isn't it beautiful?
So the question is, how can we gain the trust of these people and follow them in to do chores? He Ming began to look at the people who were walking through the business district like dogs with obvious family marks.
The experience in Cangyue Village made him understand that although the identities of people of different status have already been decided, even among people of the same grade, they can still be divided into three, six, nine and so on, not to mention these people who are qualified to enter and leave the aristocratic area?
As long as he finds a high-spirited little boss, does what he likes, and then follows him to do chores, he can enter the aristocratic district openly, after all, it is impossible for the nobles to do all kinds of miscellaneous things in the entire aristocratic district.
Although there are many surprising rules in it, many jobs have not been trained and cultivated, and they are not competent at all, but there are always many particularly low-level things, and what you do will not let the old men take a second look, from some angles, the person in charge of those chores will recruit some capable people from outside the aristocratic district to do it.
So He Ming began to shift his attention to those people in the aristocratic district who seemed to have a slightly higher status, and he was thinking about which of the things he would know, which one was more likely to be mixed in.
It is also the road of endless people, He Mingtian wandered around the business district, and at night he came in to find a place to exercise and breathe, while more clearly familiar with the characteristics of some commercial districts, and when he was worried about nowhere to start, suddenly a noise attracted his attention.
A guy with the horse's head mark embroidered on his chest, and a sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks, was shouting and shouting to order a few subordinates to find someone, and he looked very anxious, only to find that this man was full of wrinkles on his head, and there were two or three scars, obviously why he had been punished.
He Ming only crowded among the people watching the excitement, and did not speak, quietly listening to what caused the commotion.
Seeing those people being sent out one by one, He Ming heard the person from the Ma family muttering alone:
"I've long told this ** problem to be corrected, this guy thinks that if he becomes the subordinate of our Ma family, he will be superior to others, and he will show off everywhere, I don't know how many desperate people are waiting to find a way out from you."
He scratched his head and touched the whip marks, and his whole face spasmed, causing him to wrinkle violently, and bared his teeth and muttered:
"Who cares if he is dead or alive, but where can I find a barbecue master who is as good as him? The dishes that entertained the distinguished guests this night, without his craftsmanship, Lao Tzu would not be whipped again? Alas! ”
He Ming felt that his eyes lit up, wasn't this his most proud means? So he was about to squeeze up from the crowd to make a self-recommendation, when suddenly a subordinate rushed over and said something to this man.
The man instantly threw away the upbringing ghost and cried out: "Oh my mother! Lao Tzu told you not to go out to show off, you dare to run to the casino in the civilian area with the mark of the Ma family! Isn't this a living payment to bring your life? Where the guards don't go, they deserve to die! ”
After scolding, he punched his palm, and muttered: "Dead, dead, he died, I am also dead, I shouldn't have thought that he had good craftsmanship and low wages, the original barbecue master jumped to the Li family, these old men who were raised by ** don't want my life to have a ghost!" ”
Then he suddenly turned around and shouted to the crowd, "Which chef is there who specializes in barbecue?" If you want to be skilled, I'll get out here for double, no, triple wages! ”
At this time, He Ming finally squeezed in front of the Ma family, who had completely lost his education, and said to him: "Hello this master, it's not a villain boasting, no one will be willing to put down my barbecue after eating it." Seeing that the old man seemed to be in some difficulty, the villain was willing to do his best to help, just asking for a little help, and the salary was easy to say. ”
The man swept over He Ming with a pair of crooked eyes, and asked very suspiciously, "Is the craftsmanship really good?" Do you know how to drink if you gamble or not? Is it good to save face? If that's fine, I can guarantee that your salary will be a little five times more than that of the master in this business district! Wait, how can you guarantee it? ”
He Ming smiled slightly: "This is easy to say, you see that I am not a swaggering person, I don't drink a drop of alcohol, I don't dare to enter the casino anymore after nine gambles and ten losses, not to mention a role model who lost his life in the casino just now?" As for the craftsmanship, you might as well find a grill and try it on the spot, and we don't have to worry about the materials in the commercial area. ”
The man's eyes rolled and he immediately understood, and he laughed and said: "Then it's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can go with me, anyway, you entered the Ma family's territory, and you bragged about it, but you suffered it, and ah, don't think about making any ghosts in the food, don't talk about poisoning, you just can't hide it from adults if you make some fame in taste!" ”
After finishing speaking, he shouted an order, asked them to gather all the subordinates who were looking for people, and then continued to hold his head high, walked in front to lead the way, and led He Ming to the noble district.
While walking, the guy who led the way said: "This little brother, you know me first, the contemptible person is called Ma Li, and he is the head of the Ma family's management of this logistics, although it doesn't look good now, but the world is unpredictable, the horse who originally raised horses under me has now become the big steward of our Ma family, and his reputation is great."
"So who can say that I can't hit a big luck one day and be high? You, if you are really good, follow me well, and have a good life. By the way, what do you call it, where are you from? ”
Compared with Ma Er's words and deeds, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch up with others in your life, He Ming said in his heart, and then said respectfully behind his back: "The villain Ye Qin, originally lived by this craft in the Viper Valley, and later ...... Alas. ”
Ma Li said in a tone that knew everything: "Ah, I know, I know, it's really miserable there, but let him pass the past, and he can't always immerse himself in the past." By the way, your name is too weak, if you do well in the future, we will give you a good name for the Ma family, you can rest assured. ”
Leave this kind of good name to yourself, there is no one in your family name that I can accept, He Ming said: "Thank you so much, the villain is full of expectations, and he will do his best." ”
Ma Li nodded and said: "Okay, let's not say these polite words, hurry up and keep up with me, the meetings of several major families have become more and more frequent recently, and the messenger of Shabak will also come over today, and it is our family who is responsible for entertaining, and the barbecue food at the banquet depends on your performance!" ”
He Ming secretly laughed in his heart, I'm afraid that if I get what I want, you will have to be beaten again, but at this level today, I He Ming is completely sure that I can help you get through, and it can be regarded as repaying you for guiding the way.
In fact, He Ming knows the general distribution and topography of the buildings in the aristocratic area, but he can't guess what the various buildings are for, and now he follows Ma Li behind him, but no one comes to check him, and he is also very careful to remain humble, and follow this guy with his head down.
The horse stepped into the aristocratic area with his front foot, and his head was immediately lowered, holding his hand like a subordinate, leading He Ming and them forward as he said:
"You have to pay attention here, in the family area, although it is famous for its good security, but there is also a premise for good, our three families here have their own territory, only a few intermediate areas are public, you walk into another family's place, and being killed is not a case, so it seems that the law and order is good, understand?"
Then he pointed to the tallest and most fancy house in the center of the aristocratic quarter, and said:
"See that? That's the largest public building in the entire Tucheng.,All kinds of precious and can't be divided belong to things are stored there.,It seems that something has happened recently.,Those lords are going to get together every few days.,So it's hard for us logistics staff.。 ”
He Ming followed what he pointed to, raised his head and quickly glanced at the house, and secretly thought to himself: "This is really effortless, as long as there are no special accidents, the things I am looking for are most likely stored here, but the guards are really tight, but I don't know how to sneak in?" ”
Ma Li continued: "Whenever it's the turn of someone to be in charge of the feast here, the people of this family have to cook in the kitchen next to it to avoid the dishes from being served too quickly, so here are three sets of kitchenware according to the style of each family, you can quickly make two things for me to try now!" ”
