Chapter 375: Eating (I)
"Haha, you're right, I'm too anxious, everything takes time, it's impossible for a person to become a fat man in one bite." Huo Gang couldn't help but laugh twice, then stood up from his position and turned to look at Xia Zhudao.
"It's good that the leader has figured it out, the slave and maid see the leader's worried appearance every day, it's really distressing, chief, you are the pillar of the Han, you must not be tired." Xia Zhu said softly.
"It's okay, your leader and my body are pretending, by the way, you can't call yourself a slave in the future, you are now the minister of the Ministry of Commerce, one of the members of the cabinet, you will be put to Datang in the future, that is a first-class member!" If you go to the street of Yumen Pass, the countless merchants will see you, but they will all bow down and call Minister Xia. After Huo Gang figured it out, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
couldn't help but laugh at Xia Zhudao, although Xia Zhu and the twelve of them were sent by the Li family in Longxi, Huo Gang never treated them as slaves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taught them that knowledge, and I have to say that they are really competitive, able to continue to study their own, and then get to where they are today.
"Leader, the slave and maid have been the leader's slave and maid all their lives, no matter what position the slave and maid are outside, in front of the leader, the slave and maid will always be willing to serve tea and pour water for the leader." Xia Zhu said seriously, "Moreover, I believe that the other sisters think the same. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that the leader was willing to teach the slaves and maids those knowledge, let the slaves know that there is still so much knowledge in this world that we don't know, and let the slaves and maids know that we can still create so many things, then the slaves and maids will probably always be like the singers in the Tang Qinglou, who can only sing and dance, and chant poems."
"Today, the slave and maid are all given by you, the leader." Xia Zhu's expression was extremely serious.
Xia Zhu's age is older than Huo Gang's body, but she is only one year older, and in the eyes of Huo Gang's soul that can be said to be three lifetimes, she is a little girl.
Looking at the serious look on her handsome little face, Huo Gang couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub her head with a smile and said, "Of course, I gave you the opportunity, but if you didn't work hard, you wouldn't have achieved what you are today." ”
"No, chief, you don't know, you are a god in the sky, you don't know, how important knowledge is to many people, if you are willing to teach this knowledge in advance, there are countless people who are willing to study harder than us to learn this knowledge." Xia Zhu's big eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
Huo Gang smiled, and then said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, let's go, it's the New Year soon, let's go and make something delicious." ”
"Ready-to-eat?" Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, a little dumbfounded, she never thought that suddenly her leader would change to these places.
"Yes, make a good meal." Huo Gang nodded affirmatively.
There are not many people in the Chief's Mansion so far, but there are also some more people, including seven maids, three cooks, and six miscellaneous servants, the maids and miscellaneous servants are very young, all thirteen or fourteen years old, and the origins of these miscellaneous servants and maids are all those orphans who are struggling to survive rescued by Mingyue.
Now Mingyue has tasted the sweetness in this regard, and the orphans of later generations have encountered all kinds of dark encounters, not to mention the orphans of this era?
As long as you rescue these orphans, take care of them sincerely, and help them, you can harvest a group of loyal children, who can do anything for the leader, where to find such a good deed?
Now Mingyue has expanded this business to Datang, Gaochang and other surrounding countries can radiate, as long as it is a country that can reach it, there is no shortage of orphans, Mingyue has allocated special funds to help these children.
No one suspects some beggars, as long as they are fed, they can get a lot of news.
And some of the qualified ones are sent back and then taught intensively.
In fact, there is not much work in the Chief's Mansion at the moment, just cleaning up, and then taking care of the flowers and plants in the Chief's Mansion and the like, these miscellaneous servants and maids are also doing a good job under the leadership of two or three veterans.
And these three chefs are also chefs found by Mingyue, they live in Yumen Pass, unlike those imperial chefs in Datang, these chefs can still go home every day, the reason why Huo Gang dares to do this is naturally because of the early warning ability of the spirit of Yumen, anything that is unfavorable to him, when he has that thought in his mind, he has already turned into a red dot in the spirit of Yumen.
And the degree of trust these people have in Huo Gang, the spirit of the Jade Gate doesn't know when it can be quietly revealed, which could not be shown before.
There were only two early warning abilities before, and within the territory of the Great Han, as long as the enemy entered the territory was marked, it became a red dot in Huo Gang's mind, and the green ones were the people of the Great Han or those who had a friendly attitude towards the Great Han.
Some neutral ones have yellow dots.
Now, the neutral and hostile units have not changed, but their own have changed, the green ones are still friendly to themselves, or their own people, and then there is dark green, dark green means that they are definitely loyal people of the Han Dynasty, full of gratitude to Huo Gang, and the people who set up the immortal tablet for Huo Gang at home!
And when the dark green turned into light blue, this person was no longer just erecting an immortal tablet for Huo Gang, it should be said that he was already Huo Gang's disciple, and the dark blue was at the level of a fanatic believer.
It can be said that Huo Gang doesn't know if this kind of early warning ability can be called an early warning ability, because its most important role now can make Huo Gang see clearly where the whole Han is wrong.
Don't say that the whole Dahan is dark green, even if it is all green, it can be said that Dahan is an invincible existence!! Huo Gang asked people to investigate the thoughts of these people marked with different colors, and it can be said that the people marked as green are all willing to fight to the death for the current Han and not retreat!
The existence of such unity is invincible.
Therefore, the miscellaneous servants and maids in the entire Chief's Mansion were all dark blue markers, and even the chef was blue marked, so Huo Gang naturally didn't have to worry about his own safety.
When Huo Gang arrived at the kitchen, the three chefs were preparing the evening meal here, Huo Gang's meal was not very demanding, but they all worked hard to make the meal more exquisite.
Seeing Huo Gang coming, the three of them immediately put down the work in their hands, and all got up and bent down to salute: "I've seen the leader." ”
The emotions of the three people were not too fanatical, but their attitude was very respectful, obviously they always remembered what Huo Gang said, and respect was in their hearts, not superficial.
"No courtesy, three masters, that's the case, come today, I want to get some new food, and the three of you will help." Huo Gang said with a smile.
"Yes, what is the leader going to do, despite the command." A chubby man in his forties who took the lead said with a smile.
His surname is Ma, he used to be the chef of a restaurant, and then he was kicked out because he offended the shopkeeper, and finally the whole family had to go into exile to Dahan, if it wasn't for Huo Gang, not Dahan, his only son was dead, and it was the leader who saved him and their whole family.
"That's the case, some time ago, I heard that some chickens, ducks, pigs and the like were recovered?" Huo Gang asked with a smile. These things were given by some of the people below, and these people were those who almost couldn't survive their entire family, but Huo Gang gave them a chance to live.
Naturally, it was impossible for things to be sent directly to Huo Gang, they all sent them to the village chiefs of their respective villages, and in the end Huo Gang still ordered someone to accept them, mainly because these village chiefs themselves had also received Huo Gang's orders not to accept them, but these people were too insistent that Huo Gang would not accept them, and they were even willing to wait all the time.
In the end, Huo Gang still accepted it, but after this batch, Huo Gang also issued a new order to all the people of the entire Han Dynasty in his own name, or what was said to them.
Huo Gang just told them that they gave Huo Gang so many things, and Huo Gang couldn't eat so much, if they wanted to thank Huo Gang, then live a good life, work hard to farm, and live their own lives better and better, so that the big man would become richer and richer, and Huo Gang would naturally become richer and richer.
After that announcement, these behaviors of sending things have decreased, but judging from the feedback from the village heads, these people, whether they are breeding or farming, are more attentive.
However, there are a lot of the first batch of things received, there are several pigs that have been raised to more than 100 catties, hundreds of chickens and ducks, and more than 200 sheep, which are all bred outside Yumen Pass and belong to Huo Gang's own manor.
said that it was Huo Gang's manor, but in fact it was a village, and then the vicinity of the village was assigned to Huo Gang's manor, and the fields planted by these villagers were all the kind that belonged to Huo Gang's private fields.
He didn't refuse this Huo Gang, because he couldn't just have this one leader's mansion, and there were also places for vacation and leisure, anyway, those villagers Huo Gang couldn't treat them badly.
However, ordinary people may be reluctant to kill these pigs, chickens and ducks, but for Huo Gang, there is no difference, at present, it can be said that there are already some people on the market who are willing to sell their chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.
There are already these meats sold in the market, but pork is not sold much, mainly pork in this era, it is something that ordinary people eat, and in the eyes of the aristocracy, pork is a very dirty thing.
