Volume 4 Chapter 3 The Beast Chef (Part II)
This price doesn't seem to be high, that's for Hong Yu. In fact, the income of the vast majority of eight-rank martial artists is only five hundred taels of silver a month, and they can't afford to raise a desolate beast chef at all.
The soldiers of the Wulie Elite Battalion of the Hushan Battalion are the most elite troops in the entire Great Xia, and the treatment is also the most haode. Their salary was eighty taels of silver per month.
This is considered a high income in the entire Great Xia.
Ordinary people's income will not exceed thirty taels a month. This is still the result of the triumphant song of Daxia in the battle with Dijon in recent years, and the domestic economy has become more and more prosperous in a peaceful and stable environment. If it was 30 years ago, a family would have an income of ten taels of silver a month.
Hong Yu nodded: "Ask for leave with the deputy marshal tomorrow, let's go and handle this matter." ”
......
Qiao Yuanchen stared at Hong Yu and Hong Shen in front of him, and couldn't laugh or cry: "After being a deputy marshal for all these years, there are various reasons to ask for leave, but to leave the camp for food, Young Master Yu, you are really the first." ”
Hong Yu scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
Qiao Yuanchen waved his pen: "Okay, this can barely be regarded as a serious matter, you can go." ”
"Thank you, General. ”
With Qiao Yuanchen's warrant, Hong Yu and Hong Shen went out of the Hushan camp together. The horse was very happy all the way, and he was running fast with all four hooves.
When I was about to arrive at the north gate of Wudu City, I met a group of people, freshly dressed and angry, centered on a woman in a long skirt, talking and laughing, and turned to a fork in the road.
That road leads to a famous attraction outside the North City, Taolin Water Bay. It is a bend in the Nushui River outside the city, the first half of the water is turbulent, the second half is very gentle, and the river surface is like a mirror.
Both sides of the bank are planted with peach trees, if it is the right season, the peach blossoms are full of indescribable artistic conception.
It's late autumn now, and it's about to enter winter, of course, there are no peach blossoms to see, but the scenery is not bad.
Hong Yu and Hong Shen were still far away, and the other party obviously didn't notice the two of them. But Hong Shen couldn't help but glance at the group of people a few more times. Hong Yu asked casually, "What's wrong with Uncle Shen?"
"In that group of people, He Song, the second son of the house. ”
The He family is also one of the four pillars of Great Xia, and unlike the Hong family, the He family is an old family in Great Xia, with deep roots and lush branches. The head of the family, He Chang, is currently the head of the household department, and is in charge of the money and grain of the entire Great Xia, which can be called the first fat difference in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The eldest son, He Chong, is now on the border between Great Xia and Chu Yue, leading the army to clear out the rebellious barbarians. He Chong was only nineteen years old, but he was already in the realm of the Sixth Rank True Quenching, and he was able to lead an army and command a large-scale battle on his own.
In the entire Great Xia, only he can do this, so he is the first person of the young generation in Great Xia!
He Song looked a little inconspicuous under the light of his father and brother. But Hong Shen, a powerhouse in the realm of the Three Grades of Manifestation Sainthood, would not underestimate this person because of this. He Song is already in the realm of the early stage of the Seven-Rank Soul Star, and he may not be as good as his brother, but in the entire Wudu, there are only a few people among his peers who can compare with him.
And He Song is very low-key, not inconspicuous, and usually only interacts with some friends who are more connected, and he almost never participates in such large-scale gatherings.
It is this point that Hong Shen is strange, among that group of people, there are many frivolous teenagers, it is said that He Song will not participate in this kind of activity.
This question flashed in Hong Shen's heart, and he didn't think much about it, and accompanied Hong Yu into the north gate.
The two went back to Hong Mansion first, and told Hong An about the matter, without telling Hong Shengri, Hong An himself nodded and decided: "The second young master needs it, that's how it should be." I'll take you there. ”
From Dingding Street to the south, then turn east into Rensong Road, to Yongan Road and then to the south, after two blocks, into the southeast of Wudu City, Hong An took them to drill around in some small alleys, a memorial arch appeared in front, three big characters on it: slaughter fang.
In such a remote place, Hong Yu has definitely never been to it before.
He came to the east of the city, that is, to go to a place like Baili Pavilion, which was a gold cave, a man's dream place.
"The Slaughter Workshop is a place dedicated to the business of wild beasts, and you can order wild beast meat and hire wild beast chefs here. ”
The price of pork and mutton in Wudu City is stable, with pork about 20 wen a catty and mutton 50 wen a catty, which is much cheaper than the meat of wild beasts.
Hong An took the two of them in, and a strong smell of blood came to his face. Different from ordinary pig and sheep slaughtering sites, the smell of blood here inhales into the nostrils, and Hongyu feels very uncomfortable, as if there are cow hair needles piercing your nasal mucosa. It was due to the powerful energy contained in the blood of the desolate beast.
Hongfu has a long-term order merchant here, and Hong An took him to find a shop called "Old Knife Meat", a simple shop, which is quite clean, neatly stacked with pieces of wild beast meat, offal, and bones. In front of each beast meat, there is a wooden sign with the type, grade, and price written on it.
As soon as the guys in the store saw Hong An, they hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and hurriedly sent someone to the back to call the owner out, and the distinguished guest came.
The next thing is much simpler, a man like Zhang Fei greeted him, although the voice was loud, but there was a humility in the attitude, as soon as Hong An said the matter, the owner Xiao Bodong immediately agreed, guaranteeing that Hong Yu was definitely the freshest and most high-quality wild beast meat.
After finalizing this matter, Hong Yu asked him about the desolate beast chef again, and Xiao Bodong patted his head: "You guys came just in time, a desolate beast chef has just returned from school, and he has not been hired in the workshop." ”
"How's Jishu?"
Xiao Bodong patted his chest: "Second young master, don't worry, the person I Lao Xiao introduced to you is absolutely fine." ”
"Okay, where you are, you take us to see it. ”
Xiao Bodong briefly explained the things in the store and took them out. Walking in the workshop, Xiao Bodong kept boasting: "Second young master, this one has just graduated from the imperial chef Mr. Guo, and the level can be said to have been passed on, you can rest assured, I promise not to disappoint you!"
Guo Shuanglin is the most famous desolate beast chef in the entire Great Xia, he bears the name of an imperial chef, but he is not actually in the palace. Only if the emperor wants to eat the feast of wild beasts, he will be summoned to the palace, and under normal circumstances, he also lives in the slaughtering workshop. It's just that he's old and won't accept other people's hires anymore.
But over the years, his apprentices have become prosperous one by one, either as the head chef in the family of the Four Heavenly Pillars, or in the house of the prince and county lord.
