Chapter 260: The Male Slave's Name
In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoxue instructed Er Bun to use some spices to cook, Er Bun admired the master's cooking skills so much, but he didn't expect that after adding those few inconspicuous seasonings, the meal made was even more delicious.
As for how Er Bun knows that the food he makes is more delicious, it is because every time Er Bun cooks a meal, Zhang Xiaoxue will invite Er Bun to taste it together.
As a slave, she can really taste the cooked food like a cook, Er Man knows that the master treats her as a person, and the master also said that a chef must know what kind of taste the meal he has made can make a more delicious meal next time.
After making the master's meal, Zhang Xiaoxue asked Er Bun to make a pot of food eaten by the slaves, the meal is a very large green vegetable called Chinese cabbage, plus pork stew, when Er Bun tasted it, she thought it was really delicious, and the master also let her use the seasoning for the meals of their slaves.
Er Man doesn't know what the price of these spices is, but they always have to spend money to buy them, and the meals they eat as slaves, in addition to using oil and meat, now the seasonings are used by them, and Er Man feels that the master is really too generous.
Today, when Zhang Xiaoxue asked Er Mantou if she could steam steamed buns, Er Manu was very ashamed and said that she wouldn't, their family didn't have this craft, Zhang Xiaoxue told Er Bun how to steam steamed buns and noodles, Er Manu is still quite smart, a little bit is thorough, and soon a big pot of white flour steamed buns came out.
Er Manzhen didn't expect that the master would even teach her this ancestral craft, she would definitely not live up to the master's trust, no matter who asked her, she wouldn't say.
There is only one pot of steamed steamed buns, Zhang Xiaoxue is going to keep them for his family to eat, and wants these slaves to taste the pancakes made at home this afternoon, and order a few more mouthfuls of pancakes in the town tomorrow, and let these slaves at home also spread pancakes at that time, in addition to being able to sell, it is also convenient for their own families to eat.
After the workers in the shed left after work in the afternoon, Zhang's father led the group of male slaves who were working on the wasteland to go home, and after putting the food they ate in the hall, Zhang Xiaoxue took out the stainless steel tableware and handed it to Erman, and asked her to call them the big steamed buns, and let them arrange the slaves' meals by themselves, two spoonfuls of Chinese cabbage stewed pork per person, and two pancakes.
Erman's craftsmanship is still good, and Zhang Xiaoxue is next to him, and various ingredients are added, so the taste of the meal is still very delicious, and the family eats very happily, and I think Erman's decision to be the chef of the family is really good.
After eating, the family still had an important task to do, but before that, they had to arrange the slaves first.
"Dad, these male slaves, have you named them?" asked Zhang Xiaoxue on the side.
"Yes, the female slaves have already been named, and the male slaves have also been named, right?" Zhang Mu also echoed beside her.
"I haven't gotten up yet, but I have a plan in my heart, I said to listen to you, you can refer to it.
Didn't Cher say that these male slaves had a craft? I thought so, I might as well name them according to the craft they knew.
For example, blacksmiths, in order of age, call them big iron, and the second iron is ranked down in turn, and the carpenter is called big wood, and the second wood is lined down like this, what do you think?"
Father Zhang said what he thought in his heart, and it was okay for his family to refer to it, and the slaves who were eating in the yard heard a few of them as if they were naming them, and they were very excited, and the slaves who were given names would be reused by the master's family.
"Dad's idea is really good, it's easy and convenient to call it this way, and it's easy to remember, if you want to arrange what work they do, even if you can't recognize them all, you just need to call them by name. Yuan Guang said very approvingly.
"Well, it's a good idea, there are so many people, we really don't recognize them all for a while, so we know what he will do by calling him by name? It's convenient to arrange for them to work." Yuan Lei also agreed next to him.
"That's a good thing to hear you guys say. Zhang's mother also nodded in agreement.
"Hee-hee, dad is amazing, there are so many male slaves, he has all the names in mind at once, and it is simple and easy to remember. Zhang Xiaoxue praised with a smile.
His idea was approved by the whole family, and Zhang's father was also a little proud in his heart, and it could be seen from the smile on his face that Zhang's father was in a good mood.
After eating, the family also went to the courtyard, and Zhang Xiaoxue asked her 35 male slaves to stand up and tell them to name them.
The 35 slaves were really excited, and thanked their masters in unison for giving them names, and Zhang Xiaoxue asked them to stand together according to their own craftsmanship and set all the names they had just decided.
There were five carpenters, and according to their age they were called Damu, Ermu, Sanmu, Four, and Wumu, and the slaves who were given their names were very happy, and there were three blacksmiths, and according to their age, they were called Da Tie, Ertie, and Santie, and there were two Masons, and their names were Dashi and Ershi.
There were six craftsmen, and because most of them made things from bamboo, they called them big bamboo, two bamboos, three bamboos, four bamboos, five bamboos, six bamboos, and a slave who could dye cloth, and finally decided to call him Da Dye.
The slave who can make bows and arrows, it is not good to call him a big bow, here the Grand Duke is a very respectful title, as a master, if you call a slave a big bow, even if it is a homonym, it is also a joke, and it doesn't seem to be very nice to call him a big arrow, and finally the family discussed, because it is necessary to use cow tendon to make a bowstring, simply call him a big cow.
In the end, there were 17 male slaves, they just farmed and built houses, and originally wanted to call them Datian all the way to Seventeen Fields, but in the end I felt that after ten years, it was a little awkward to call them unpleasant, and finally let these 17 male slaves be called Tian Da and Tian Er...... Tian XVII.
Now the 40 slaves of their own family have their own names, and it is also very convenient for their families to call the slaves to work in the future, and the slaves that Yu Wenze lent to their family next to them, seeing that the 40 slaves belonging to Zhang Xiaoxue have their own names, they are really envious next to them.
The two meals they ate at this house were really something they never dared to imagine, and they were all slaves who were recognized as their masters, and the treatment was really different, except that they still lived in sheds, and some of the subordinates hired by the master's family were almost the same.
