"Have you eaten it?"

Master Wei smelled the aroma of rice and said, I have eaten.

"You're welcome, this is chili. You're only concerned with pouring peppers on all fronts, haven't you tasted them yet? Would you like to try it? Song Fusheng handed over the chopsticks.

Master Wei thinks that this is reasonable, and he can't approve it himself, but he doesn't know what it tastes like, so let's try it, this suggestion is good.

Two minutes later, Song Fusheng looked at the back of Master Wei taking his lunch and leaving: "......"

Didn't you say you had eaten it? Not just a taste?

It's no wonder that Lord Wei will lose his dignity and take the rice away directly, and eat two pieces of dim sum every day to cushion his stomach, and no one can stand it.

Because it's so bitter here.

Working here, hot meals are the equivalent of scarce things being expensive for some officials.

What's going on.

Normally, each yamen should have a "kitchen hall" for the officials' lunch, so that the "civil servants" can have a hot meal at noon.

After all, it's so early to work in the morning.

Mao Zheng, which is equivalent to seven o'clock in the morning in modern times, begins to order Mao.

If you don't arrive for three consecutive days, no matter how big the official is, 20 small boards, less than 25 days, you will be beaten with 100 big boards, and if you have more, you will be imprisoned.

Therefore, at 7 o'clock in the morning, if many officials live far away, in order not to miss the o'clock, they have to set off at 5 o'clock. Can you imagine, before going to work, what time should you have breakfast? Do you have to get up at three or four o'clock in the morning to eat?

What time do you get off work?

Youshi, Youzheng, is equivalent to the normal start of work at six o'clock in the afternoon of modern time.

In the middle of this, for more than ten hours, people are iron and steel, and no one can stand it if they don't eat lunch.

Like those high-ranking officials in the upper court, they can go to the "heavenly kitchen" to eat after the lower court, which is called the Son of Heaven to entertain guests, and those ministers are invited to eat, which is called the heavenly kitchen.

Officials of the ministries who did not normally go to court, that is, those who worked outside the walls of the palace, ate Chinese food in the kitchens set up by various departments.

However, the quality of food is paid by each ministry itself, and the units with oil and water eat well.

These are those officials, who belong to the "Central Committee".

As for the branches under the various departments, it's up to you, or the same sentence, if you want to eat lunch, you have to solve it yourself at the entrance of each office.

And Lord Mao, who is in charge of these matters in the household department, he picks it.

It is said that the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry are not so meticulous in their management.

But it may be precisely because the household department is in charge of the money that it is not easy to be in charge.

Master Mao ordered a long time ago not to compare the various yamen of other ministries, but to each branch of the household department, either deduct all your meal money and tea soup money, and use this subsidy money to set up a kitchen, or solve it yourself.

In Master Mao's opinion: Ah, eating the public's, drinking the public's, and then taking the money for meals and tea and soup, why? Is the fullness of the treasury saved up by empty white teeth? You don't have to save it.

The most amazing thing is that Master Mao even calculates the salary and charcoal expenses.

There is a closed copper stove for heating in the office, and you have to prepare your own carbon in it. Including the soot in the hand stove, the charcoal is handed over to the officials of the pantry for unified management.

Song Fusheng and they are here, and there is a pantry in the office next to the official.

In other words, the officials of the Kuraba Ya can't boil water in the house, let alone cook.

On the one hand, how to boil water with a closed copper furnace with a lid?

On the other hand, and most importantly, there is an unwritten rule among officials that it is indecent and undignified to let subordinates come in and have a look if they are not at that level, they are not equipped with "suite" offices, they cannot boil water, and they let their subordinates come in and have a look.

If you don't agree?

Master Mao said yes, I can warm you up, and make you a hot meal at noon, but these subsidies are gone.

And the warehouse office belongs to the branch of the household, and you have to listen to Lord Mao.

The officials who worked here early decided to settle the carbon for lunch and heating themselves, and yes, they asked for money, because it was appropriate.

Don't underestimate these subsidies, they are much higher than the monthly allowance (salary), doubled.

Later officials, even if they were not short of the subsidy money, could not have reversed this decision.

After all, in ancient times, some officials thought that honesty and hardship were equated, and individual officials would not put a few more copper stoves in their offices to keep warm, even though the conditions at home were quite good.

It is even more impossible to set up a stove in the office to let the little guy stir-fry the dishes, and I think it is extremely rude.

You can only bring the finished ones and pad the belly.

Therefore, it is precisely because of the above reasons that there is currently only one public chef and one official kitchen in the backyard of the Kuraba Ya, and there is no kitchen hall for officials to eat.

The public kitchen is for those who work in the backyard of Kurabaya.

It is to give dry food and some hot clear soup, so that those people can maintain their physical strength and keep carrying goods.

The cooks understood it better, and prepared meals for the officials on duty.

However, even if it is given to the officials, the Kuraba government is only responsible for two meals: morning food and evening food.

Generally, those who go to eat the evening food are the servants who have to stand guard at night.

Those who went to eat morning food in the morning were all on duty before the officials arrived in the morning.

In other words, the servants who had been working the day shift all day were hungry at noon, and when they were hungry, they had to eat the food they brought from home. This warehouse is far from the city, unlike other people on duty at the yamen, and they can go to the street to buy a bite at noon and afternoon when they change shifts.

As for the two kitchens here in the Kuraba Ya, one public chef and one official cook, all the expenses are handled by the Kuraba Ya itself.

No, the officials here have to save money, and at the end of the year, they will be able to distribute the unused money, which is called food tail.

Food tails, a lot.

Like Lord Wei, Song Fusheng, Lord Song, etc., these people can get a share of the money, and they know each other's gray income, and the higher the level, the more they will share.

So as a leader, if the two kitchen ribs are so tight, it is even more impossible to have extravagance on weekdays.

In addition, it is impossible for officials to bring their own meals to the "public kitchen" and "official kitchen" to heat the rice.

Because in their opinion, isn't that tantamount to lowering one's worth to stirring rice in the same pot with those people? Some officials will even think that it is very unlucky, a pot to stir rice, don't be kicked off the official, become a "small official".

The hierarchy is very clear.

Therefore, it is not rude to cook hot meals and hot dishes in the office before they are cooked, and it is really "precious" for the "big officials" of the Kuraba Ya.

"It's spicy, numb, and so fragrant," Mr. Wei commented while eating in his office.

Song Fusheng was in his own office, and he was stunned by wealth again.

"Earlier? I knew I would bring more food, it's okay, I still have eggs. ”

I'm not afraid of being broken, we don't know how wealth came about.

Lime boiled eggs, here are ancient, quicklime is not added messy, that is, calcium carbonate, there is no significant harm to the body, and the eggs are cooked in three minutes.

Song Fusheng peeled the egg skin and asked Song Fugui: "You didn't take some sawdust?" ”

"Hehe, that's not it."

"Ah, I thought you even brought sawdust."

Songhua eggs are made by heating lime and wood chips.

Three days later, Song Fusheng got off work early before he arrived, "Let's go, catch the car back to Renjia Village." ”

Fugui: "What are you doing back to the village?" ”

"Sending you home."

I can't stand it, I'm going to do takeout here.

Lord Wei and the huge people in the office next door have all given rich tips.

If this continues, more people will order food.

They are all colleagues, and when the time comes, they collect too much tips, and they don't look good, so they don't accept them, and they serve for nothing.

Tietou also said, go home quickly, go home and find Grandma Ma to tear down the cotton pants and repair them.

He was embarrassed to find his sister-in-law.

The crotch of the pants was just right to mend a piece of red cloth.

Every time I took off my pants, I was startled, thinking that he was bleeding, and I didn't know that I thought he was in trouble.
