Chapter 66: Braised Pork with Sour Plum (II)
Han Chuan thought for a while and then said, "If there is a candidate who can cook and has been a cook, it is better, you don't need to be too smart and capable, as long as you can be a dun man, if you are a good employee, it is the best, if you have a new place to go in the future, or if you are tired, you can change again." ”
In general, it is necessary to have coolies, accounts and piers.
It has to be a good book.
Huang Ergua nodded, swaggered and took Han Chuan through all kinds of mules and horses, small stalls, and greeted people all the way, some people saw Huang Ergua leading two girls, the big one was white-skinned and long-eyed, and the small one was timid and shy, so they greeted Huang Ergua with a smile.
"What are you going to buy with the girl!"
"When the old man was the customer, I didn't see you so attentive!"
There are many men with official teeth, and from time to time they burst into laughter.
Huang Ergua took off the dogskin hat, waved it into the air, and made a straight face, "Go, go!" Where did the cockroaches come from, this is the shopkeeper of the big restaurant, don't be embarrassed here! ”
Han Chuan thought about the few five tables in his hall, and recognized the title of "big" restaurant without blushing and heartbeat.
The eastern market of Guanya is a slave market, and I asked a circle of hired workers who had almost no civilian deeds, and they all directly purchased slaves and maids. This is unexpected, Xiao Shuang'er is a servant, and since he was a child, he has been buying and selling in the hands of various masters, biting his ears and explaining to Han Chuan, "... Older shops or owners don't need hired workers, and it's not practical to use hired workers - it's different if you hold the deed in your hand, you don't dare to disobey the lord's family, and if you turn your back on the lord's house, you will be punished with death. If the master's family doesn't like it, it's okay to send it away, or it's okay to kill it directly..."
Therefore, the two members of the oil shop either beat or scolded Xiao Shuang'er, that is, they wanted to drive Xiao Shuang'er to the snow to freeze to death, and others did not dare to say anything, and even took it to the government to say, there was nothing wrong with it, at most the official teeth were unwilling to sell to this servant again.
The female envoys in the palace are all good people, although they are also slaves and maids in the palace, but they are free when they are released.
Even if she follows her master out to open a mansion, she is still a female official, which is different from ordinary trading servants.
Han Chuan has never studied internal affairs, and then became the side concubine of the King of Qin, and there are only A Cicada by her side, and several little female envoys are also directly allocated by the concubine Niangniang, and the share is directly allocated from the Chengqian Palace, and is not posted at Zhang's place.
For these, Han Chuan really doesn't understand.
Huang Ergua led Han Chuan and walked around again, the West Market is quite large, the land is fenced off one by one, the servants inside are like cattle and sheep, there are some people with high noses and deep eyes who don't look like Han people, Huang Ergua said, "... These are barbarians, and some of them are also Kunlun slaves, which existed in the former Tang Dynasty, and now the Great Wei is prosperous and continues to extend to the north and south. And not only these, but also those..."
Huang Ergua pointed to Han Chuan with his hand, the group of people was short in stature, and they looked similar to the Han people, but their legs were a little round, and there were a few women with loose hair in them, "These are the Japanese people, you are a restaurant, spend half a penny to buy one, the Japanese people are very good at handling sea fish and shrimp, the women are very bitter and supple, and you are also convenient to train." ”
Han Chuan hurriedly shook his head.
Or don't.
To buy a foreigner, she still has to hey, wow, wow, even compare...
There are also many eleven or twelve-year-old girls in some fences, and now they are unkempt, but they can also see that their facial features are very delicate and their bodies are very slender. This is a natural disaster in the southeast a few months ago, and the poor family can't survive, so they can only sell their daughters, all of which are specially supplied to wealthy families. However, even if this batch is average, the really good goods still have to be in that house, so as not to be exposed to the sun in this open-air feng shui, which will damage the skin and hair, and the price will fall. ”
Han Chuan nodded.
Xiao Shuang'er tightly grasped the corner of Han Chuan's clothes, and her eyes were a little cringe.
Han Chuan sighed and patted Xiao Shuang'er's head gently.
Huang Ergua took the two girls and continued to walk inside, and there was a fence that was very large, and there were more than a hundred slaves in it. Seeing Huang Ergua coming, the tooth dealer greeted him, asked about the demand, and muttered, "... Coolies are easy to find, but this account room has to be literate, even if you run all over the market, you may not be able to find one. I have one here who can be a chef who can be a dun, but it's a pity that he's a dumb man! ”
Mute?
Han Chuan felt that being dumb was nothing, and the cook didn't cook with his mouth. Love Literature Network
The tooth dealer walked into the fence with Han Chuan, holding a booklet in his hand and standing in front of a man who was described as haggard, his eyes were blue and black, but his eyes were clear, but his eyes were clear, "Little lady, this is him." ”
Han Chuan just wanted to ask him what he would cook, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't speak.
Well... Or is there some inconvenience?
The tooth dealer flipped through the booklet and introduced, "From the Western Regions, the original owner was a small Taiji, and he was later cut down. This man was exiled to the capital with his master's family, and according to the records of the time, this man was a cook named Latty. ”
Han Chuan nodded and asked the most important doubt, "Do you understand Chinese?" ”
The tooth dealer was stunned, "This... He doesn't speak for a long time, and he doesn't know if he understands it..."
Han Chuan sighed, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Lati had been nodding fiercely.
Understands Chinese!
Han Chuan asked him, "Do you know how to cook?" ”
Lati still nodded vigorously.
"What will you cook?" Han Chuan asked again.
Lati thought for a moment, flipped over the palms of the two fans, and picked up another hand and sprinkled it in the air.
Oh.
This Han Chuan knows.
Barbecue.
Seeing that Han Chuan didn't respond, Lati eagerly took out a small silver pot from his arms and stuffed it into Han Chuan's hand.
Han Chuan opened the silver lid, got closer and sniffed, it was very fragrant!
A strong smell of spice!
Very fragrant!
Incense, but not choking!
If it is used to marinate meat, it will definitely have a different taste!
Han Chuan closed the silver lid and handed it back, turned his head and asked Yazi, "How much does his deed cost?" ”
The human tooth has passed in his heart, and he gave a number of two taels of silver, almost it, this dumb man has been here for two months, how can a normal mansion buy and employ people?
Han Chuan didn't bargain, he gave the silver directly, and there was really no suitable candidate for it, there was a lot of coolie, but either he looked sharp and lazy, or he looked stunned and inflexible, so he dispelled this idea, and turned his head to buy two sets of clothes for Lati at the market next to him.
After returning to Dongtangzi Hutong, Han Chuan peeled a few freshly fermented sour plums, cut the three-line meat into pieces of uniform thickness, stuffed them in the pot with green onions, ginger and green and red wine, and beat a bowl of rice for Lati, and spoke very slowly.
"From now on, I will be your master's house. You have to be a good errand, and if you have bad intentions, I will send you to the hardest and most tiring coal kiln mine. Got it? ”
Lati held the rice bowl in her hand and continued to nod her head.
