Chapter 129: Senior Chef

"When I return to Yingtianfu, I will definitely refer to you in front of the emperor's uncle."

Zhuxi glanced at Lin Hao and said disapprerovingly.

"I also ask the county lord to go back to Xichang Mansion first, and after returning to Yingtian, the official should bear the guilt of Jing Plea."

Lin Hao arched his hand.

……

on the carriage.

"Dad, what the hell is going on?"

Wang Jiabao asked subconsciously.

"Do you still remember the noble man before, the one who smuggled salt and iron for his father, but he didn't think that not only this minister, but even Lord Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was a nobleman's subordinate."

"As long as this matter passes, the minister of the Qin mission will say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, and at least my father can go to Luling County to be a general judge, and then your identity will be guaranteed."

Wang Xianzhi made a booing gesture and lowered his voice, in his opinion, this time it was also a blessing in disguise.

Chen Jugen told him that after taking the line of the big man behind the nobleman, it won't be long before he can go to Yingtianfu to serve as a Beijing official.

Both of them are from reckless backgrounds, he is only an eight-grade sesame official, but Chen Jugen wants to go to Yingtian to be a Beijing official, which really envy him.

"Dad, I've heard that you committed a capital crime, and now His Majesty personally ordered you to be executed, this won't be a trick set by the minister of the Imperial Mission, right?"

Wang Jiabao said suspiciously.

"Lao Tzu has eaten more salt than you have walked, just because it was ordered by His Majesty, it shows that the nobles are not ordinary in the court."

"Do you know that today's Zaifu is only more than 200 taels a year, and this salt road mastered by my father has a surplus of hundreds of thousands of taels per month, as long as the incident does not happen, it can continue to operate."

Wang Xianzhi glanced at Wang Jiabao and said disapprovingly.

……

"Ning'er, you're awake."

Princess Xianning's eyes twitched slightly, and she opened her eyes weakly.

"Where's Brother Lin?"

Princess Xianning looked inside the carriage, but she never saw Lin Hao's figure, so she was inevitably a little lost.

"You are still thinking about that humil man, just like him just now, you didn't see it, he is a hypocrite at all, as soon as the county lord said that he was going to visit him in front of the emperor's uncle, he immediately coaxed him and knelt down for the county lord on the spot."

Zhu Xi allowed his nose, and his eyes were full of disdain between his words.

"Brother Lin is not this kind of person."

Princess Xianning shook her head.

……

Princess Xianning and her entourage returned to Xichang Mansion, and Lin Hao led Zhu Gaoxu to the mouth of the canal.

Rows of wooden houses have been erected on both sides of the canal mouth, and according to Lin Hao's requirements, six bunk beds are placed in each wooden house.

The wooden houses are also divided into sections, and a small flag with a surname is hung in front of each wooden house, informing the people who come to live there who the owner is.

The displaced people rushed to the mouth of the canal in an orderly manner and entered the work area in batches.

Lin Hao and Zhu Gaoxu came to the front of the previous Qian family's work area.

At this time, Qian Hao can be said to be full of red light, and in just over half a month, he has opened fifteen sheep soup cookcakes in Xichang Mansion.

The business is called a boom, and if this momentum continues, it will not take a few months to recover the cost, and then it will be profitable.

What's more, because of His Royal Highness, the mutton soup cookcake can be hung up on the signboard of the official camp, and the local officials do not dare to make things difficult, and the business is naturally booming day by day.

Even if you take out all your belongings, totaling more than 5,000 taels, more than 1,000 wooden houses will be erected at the mouth of this canal, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 victims according to Lord Lin's plan.

In addition, he also borrowed 50,000 taels of silver from Huibaotong.

By the time the canal was opened, the more than 1,000 wooden houses had become the property of the Qian family.

If it weren't for the actions of His Royal Highness and Lord Qinchalin, he would not dare to hope that he would be able to reach such a height in his life.

"Two adults, don't come and say hello in advance, it's too far to welcome!"

Qian Hao arched his hand, and his fat face was full of smiles.

"It's okay, Bengong and Brother Lin are just here to take a look."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand.

The refugees came in order.

Qian Hao set up two desks, and the gentleman on the desk spread out the puzi: "Where is the hometown, how old is it, and what is the name." ”

"The villain's name is Sun Quan, a native of Zhanggong County, seventeen this year."

The young man in ragged clothes was faintly uneasy, and saw the official notice, saying that Xichang Mansion was recruiting workers, and as long as they were strong laborers, they could come to ask for a living.

In addition to two full meals a day, there is also a salary of two coppers, and in this year of disasters, the treatment is simply not very good.

There are also rumors in the county that this is the government's method of fooling people, as long as they go, they will be forcibly conscripted, and they will not be able to leave if they want to.

After all, when the government asks for someone and pays back the salary, it is good to be able to give one meal a day, there is really no rice to boil at home, Sun Quan also has the idea of trying it out, and rushed to the two same villages.

"Do you have the skills?"

The gentleman wrote down his name and asked.

"I've been a carpenter for a few years, I don't know if it counts."

Sun Quan looked at Mr. timidly and said.

"Very good, from today onwards, you will work for Boss Qian, three coppers a day, and this big money is to advance this month's wages."

The gentleman took out a large coin from the money box on the side and placed it in front of Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and said: "The villain heard that the daily salary is not two coppers, how can there be three?" ”

In these years, it is appalling to give an advance on wages before even the work has begun.

"Two coppers are the wages of the laborers, and if you have carpenter's skills, it is naturally three, and you have to thank these two adults."

Qian Hao smiled and patted Sun Quan's shoulder and looked at Lin Hao and the others.

"Thank you, my lord, my lord is really alive, this big money can be regarded as a life-saving, my mother has been sick for a long time, and I can't even take out the money to buy medicine, and the villain is grateful!"

Sun Quan pounced directly, knelt down towards Lin Hao, and kowtowed vigorously.

"You don't have to be formal."

Zhu Gaoxu bowed slightly.

"Give you two days off, go back and bring your mother here, every three days in the work area, there will be doctors to come to the free clinic, and the owner will subsidize half of all the medical expenses."

"This wooden card is your identity in the future, the work number is 9527, someone will arrange for you to go to the dormitory, these two uniforms are given by the owner, and they are changed and worn on weekdays."

The gentleman first took out a wooden card, wrote the word carpenter and the work number on the wooden card, and then picked up two sets of clothes from under his feet and handed them to Sun Quan.

The overalls are arranged by Lin Hao to be customized by the Shangyi Workshop, although they are only clothes made of burlap, but they are durable and wear-resistant, and they are printed with advertisements for Huibaotong and other industries in Taoyuan County, and they are sold to these owners on the canal, and only five coppers are needed.

Relying on the advanced textile technology of Shangyifang, the cost of a piece of overalls is actually only five coppers, and hundreds of thousands of victims are equivalent to hundreds of thousands of walking advertisements.

But in the eyes of these proprietors, this kind of quality of clothing, can also be customized color, printed with the name of their own business, if in the market, there are no dozens of copper, there is no way to buy, five copper, as if picked up for nothing, is gladly agreed.

Sun Quan took the clothes, and couldn't help but choke a little, he grew so big, and he had never worn such good clothes, and the clothes on his body were still sewn by his father with a few rags before his death.

New clothes with colors and ornaments are not at all daring to think.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, the villain will let his relatives and friends come to the county when he returns to the county, and tell them that this is not a lie, not only to advance wages, but also to send new clothes, the owner is a good person!"

Sun Quan had tears in his eyes, he had grown so big, and it was the first time he had been treated so kindly.

Qian Hao is also quite useful for this, a quality called responsibility and responsibility, which is quietly derived in his heart.

"Let's go to the dormitory and take a hot shower first, and then follow the caravan that came to deliver the goods back to Zhanggong."

Qian Hao squinted slightly.

In the past, I was always secretly cursed by the people for picking up money, profiteers, when have I ever been so respected, thinking of this, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it.

Seeing this, the homeless people queuing up behind were extremely excited, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

"If you want to work, give me a solid queue, he has it, every one of you has it, and those who dare to disturb the order will never be hired in the entire work area!"

Qian Hao frowned slightly and scolded loudly.

The whole team suddenly quieted down, and a middle-aged man, his face turned red, and he stepped forward with excitement: "The villain's name is Xiao Dashan, he is from Jishui County, and there are nine Chinese New Year's Eve today." ”

"Is there a craft?"

The gentleman asked.

"The villain's ancestors have been cooks for three generations, and they have opened a restaurant in Jishui, cooking good dishes, I don't know if it is a craft, and when they encountered this disaster for many years, their family was weakened, so they came here to make a living."

Xiao Dashan hurriedly said, his heart is also quite worried, according to what I said before, those who know craftsmanship need to have an extra thirty coppers per month, and the savings are enough for the family to eat for half a month.

"There is a shortage of cooks in the work area, and the meat section will not be done, the owner said, as long as you work in the work area, you can eat a meal of meat in three days, and this big money is counted as the salary advanced to you, and you will go to the back kitchen to report later."

The gentleman nodded approvingly and wrote the word cook on the wooden sign.

"Don't worry, my skill in making pork is a must, and no one will eat the whole Jishui!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Dashan's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, this is the right place, I thought that three coppers a day, it would be good to be able to give some gruel and wild vegetables to eat, but I didn't expect to be able to eat meat!

"If it weren't for you two adults, how would the villain find such a good job, I don't know if I can appreciate my face tonight, let the little one cook a meal for you to eat, this big money can also buy a lot of good mutton."

"The villain's stewed mutton, that's a cap, and the smell alone makes people laugh."

Xiao Dashan rubbed his hands, ran to Lin Hao and the others, and said with a smile.

"You're quite good at it, you have a heart in the palace, you won't eat it, it's not easy to earn some money this year."

Zhu Gaoxu took the wooden sign from Xiao Dashan's hand, picked up the brush, and added the word senior in front of the word cook, and the original cook suddenly became a senior chef.

"Xiao Dashan from Jishui, a senior chef, earns ten cents a day!"

Qian Hao's eyes were quick and he said loudly.

Ten coppers, only three big coins in a month, but it can leave a good impression on His Royal Highness, it's not too cost-effective!

Xiao Dashan was directly stunned in place, what is the situation?!

just wrote two words, how did he become a senior chef, and what's even worse is that the salary for a day has risen to ten copper, which is three big dollars a month!

That's four taels of silver a year!

When he opened a restaurant in Jishui, he only had a surplus of a few taels of silver all year round, which was not too cool.

"The kindness of the owner, the villain is unforgettable!"

Xiao Dashan kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded approvingly, and then left with Lin Hao.

Qian Hao secretly rejoiced in his heart, or he would come to the matter by himself, just a few taels of silver, so that His Royal Highness would remember the Qian family, and it would naturally benefit him in the future.

"Do you know who the two adults are before?"

Qian Hao attached his hands behind his back, pretending to be mysterious.

The curiosity of the displaced people was immediately aroused, and they all looked forward to it, and even the matter of registration and creation was forgotten.

"Speaking out scares you to death, our biggest county guard in Xichang Mansion, Kuang Jie, is just the fifth grade, the adult in the red robe is called Lin Hao, and he is the minister appointed by His Majesty."

The corners of Qian Hao's mouth outlined a trace of arc, and his eyes were full of pride.

"Boss, what is the minister."

Everyone asked.

"To be honest, I don't know much about the master, but the master knows that the minister of the Qincha has a look, and the Luling County Shou Kuangjie has to pee his pants in fright, just because the minister of the Qincha has a sword of Shang Fang, and seeing the minister of the Qincha is like seeing Your Majesty!"

Qian Hao told the story.

Everyone present was secretly shocked, in their cognition, the county guard of Luling County was a great official, in charge of the life and death of millions of people in the entire Jiangnan Mansion.

Although it is clear that the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, there is no substantive concept, and in their eyes, Kuang Jie is no different from the emperor.

A character like the county keeper, when he sees that Chincha-sama, he has to pee his pants with a single look, how exaggerated is that!?

And the adult in the red robe looked extremely young, but in the year of the crown, he was in such a high position.

"Don't you think it's incredible, what is the identity of the person next to Master Lin, do you know?"

Qian Hao asked.

"Is it also the minister of the Imperial Mission?"

"In my opinion, it may be the official master of Luling County."

……

There was speculation.

"What do you think, there is only one minister, and that lord is the second prince of the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness Zhu Gaoxu, it won't be long before at least he will be crowned king!"

"Seeing two nobles here today is enough for you to go back and blow for half a lifetime."

Qian Hao was still unfinished, and his heart was also extremely excited, as if he had something to do with Lord Lin and His Second Highness. This is a matter of glory to the ancestors.

"Prince Daming!?"

The wooden card in Xiao Dashan's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the person who had spoken to him before turned out to be the prince of the Ming Dynasty!

I don't dare to think about this kind of thing when there is green smoke on the ancestral tomb, and I still want to stew mutton for His Royal Highness the Prince!?
