Chapter Twenty-Three: Eating
"Don't tell anyone what happened just now!!"
Xiao Han turned around and glared at Feng Da Liu Er "viciously", Feng Da and Liu Er immediately nodded their heads like chickens, and swore that they would never reveal half a sentence......
However, Xiao Han looked at the two people who seemed to be "loyal and honest", how to look at it and how he was not at ease, but he couldn't kill people, so he had to believe in the two of them for the time being, and put his thoughts together, Xiao Han held his head that was a little swollen and painful and said, "Whew...... It's a shame, by the way, how much does it cost to buy food? Also, this thing is just left like this, not afraid of being stolen? Why don't you even have an account room?! ”
"Back to Brother Xiao, food is expensive now, about the same. A bucket costs 30 Wen, bran rice and bean noodles are cheap, and green vegetables are also cheap, just give the two of you money, you can buy a lot! As for the money, Director Chai Shao said that there was too little planning in the army, and I heard that Brother Xiao had read a book, so let Brother Xiao watch it himself! ”
When Liu Er saw Xiao Han asking, he didn't dare to delay, and explained to Xiao Han 1510.
"Bran? What is it? Don't use that, just buy white rice! Hey, I actually want to eat steamed buns, but forget it, I don't have that condition......"
Xiao Han scratched his head and thought for a long time, as a person who grew up eating steamed bread and pasta, it was indeed a little difficult for him to eat rice, and he always felt that he couldn't eat enough, but no matter how much he dripped, it was much better than those pig food in the barracks!
That thing, Xiao Han*, who eats it every time, is still hungry if he doesn't eat it, and he wants to vomit after eating! Now that you are the master of your own house, you can't treat yourself badly!
"Where's the meat? What about bones? Go buy some and put them in the pot to boil, they are all people who contribute, and they have the strength to eat some meat! ”
After thinking about the two boxes of money, Xiao Han finally had the feeling of being a nouveau riche, thinking about the appearance of the construction site canteen in the future, and quickly ordered Liu Er to do it, the people in this big courtyard are waiting to eat!
"This ...... Still need to buy meat? When Liu Er heard this, he immediately looked at Xiao Han with wide eyes, not just him. Feng Da next to him looked at Xiao Han in a daze as if he had never known him!
To put it mildly, those outside are untouchables, according to their meaning, just buy some bean noodles mixed with chaff, cook them, fill their stomachs, eat white rice, and meat? It's not the New Year, crazy?!
"Buy! Now that these people are working under me, I can't let them starve! Besides, don't we have money! ”
"......"
"Don't be crooked, chicken! Let the brothers be fed, and the brothers can work for you with all their hearts, what is a small meal? Xiao Han waved his hand, looking down on these two living treasures in his heart, and he didn't spend your money, people worked for you, and he didn't even care about a meal? The landlords of the old society were not so pitiful!
"That, okay!" Feng Da looked at the arrogant Xiao Han, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed ruthlessly, but he felt that it was still necessary to explain this matter:
"But Brother Xiao, you may not know very well, these two boxes of money, but there are congratulatory gifts from the adults and His Royal Highness King Qin for Brother Xiao's promotion, and when he came, Director Chai was troublesome, so he mixed the funds and brought them over, saying that there is so much money in total, and what is saved is your ......."
"I know...... What? Xiao Han waved his hand indifferently, and said in his heart that the ancients were pedantic, why don't they just buy some food to eat, how can they be so ink, and help the boss do some work in the future, and the boss would have been scolded for not seven or eight dishes! Suddenly, the more I listened to it, the more wrong it became, and there was still his private property in the box, not just public funds???
"Brother Xiao, do you still want to buy it?" Liu Er looked at Xiao Han's uncertain expression, and cautiously followed behind and asked.
Xiao Han was a little dumbfounded, judging from the life in the military camp before, this food fee must be set according to the minimum standard, the kind that can be fed! On my first day on stage, the cost has to be exceeded? But this cow has been blown out, if you regret it, do you want to have a face?
"Buy? Buy! Isn't it just money, when it's spent, Lao Tzu will earn it again!! ”
I don't know what kind of mood I was in after saying this, Xiao Han watched Liu Er take the silver cake from the box with a blank eye, and suddenly found that he had an urge to grab it......
"Phew! I don't know! Lose face! You're a modern man! Why is it so earthy, a few pieces of gold are blinding?! On our own, can we still lack money to spend in the future? ”
scolded himself fiercely in his heart, Xiao Han looked at Liu Er, who was running out with the silver, and he didn't know why, he was still a little stunned.
But this time it was really not because of money, but because Xiao Han suddenly discovered a problem.
In this Tang Dynasty, how difficult it is to be an official who jumped out of thin air, although he has a good relationship with the above, but he is like duckweed, he has no foundation at all, he is alone, and he doesn't even have a person around him to deal with trivial matters, no wonder the ancients like to form gangs and factions, appoint fellow villagers, at least have their own people who can share things, and they are like monkeys jumping out of the stones, alone in this world.
"Don't be afraid, Lao Tzu at least has money now! Isn't it just a human being, let the old man help! ”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Han changed the decadence just now, made up his mind in his heart, and cautiously closed the door of saving money in Feng Da's admiring eyes, and ordered Feng Da to watch the door here, and he himself rushed to the barracks, Xiao Han knew that at this time, only Old Man Hua could help him.
Soon after Xiao Han went out, Liu Er, who went to the vegetable market, finally came back in the expectant eyes of the people in a large courtyard, and walked to the gate with a swagger, followed by a cart full of grain, stick bones, and green vegetables!
Xiao Han didn't know that as soon as he went out of the door, Feng Da "left his post without permission"! The rabbit generally ran into the courtyard and told everyone in the courtyard the news that Lord Xiao was going to improve the food for everyone.
Suddenly, the people who were still a little complaining because they hadn't eaten at this time immediately burst into laughter, staring at the door one by one, waiting for Liu Er, who went out to buy vegetables, to come back, and they were anxious to wait for Liu Er to turn into a fast donkey and rush with things!
Because the redundant craftsmen have been moved, the auxiliaries who could only operate in the small courtyard can finally expand their range of activities and can wander around the large courtyard...
And Ren Qing, except for sometimes going into the courtyard to check, the rest of the time is outside the courtyard under martial law, at this time, in the courtyard, except for a few people such as Xiao Han, everyone else wants to enter and exit It is a dream!
Therefore, when the second uncle Liu returned with a full load was stopped before he reached the mouth of the alley, all the vendors who came to deliver the vegetables were blocked outside, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
Waited until the soldier seriously checked the cart aside, and then Feng Da and Liu Er personally pushed the cart to the door, a young vegetable vendor originally wanted to come up to help, but as soon as he looked up, such a long knife drove directly to his neck, and the poor vegetable vendor only felt that his legs trembled, and a sense of irritation suddenly came out from under his crotch......
Feng Da and Liu Er pushed the wooden cart forward with great effort, this kind of car looks easy to push, but in fact, novices are not easy to control at all, especially with so many things stacked on it, the center of gravity is a while ago, a while later, fortunately, Feng Da Liu Er has a lot of strength, pulling forward and pushing down to pull the car to the door.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, they immediately received an unprecedented welcome, as soon as the car entered the door, several young students quickly surrounded it, unloading the car, transporting vegetables! It's a lot of fun.
The surrounding soldiers were a little jealous when they saw the happy appearance of the auxiliaries, but Ren Qing's rule of the army was too harsh, and the soldiers only dared to think about it in their hearts, and they didn't even dare to show their expressions.
The courtyard that Xiao Han took over is so big, there is naturally a kitchen in it, and because the mansion is very large, the kitchen is built extremely wide, and there are more than ten cauldrons for cooking rice alone, and the population of this mansion alone will not be less than a few hundred when it is in its heyday! It's too trivial to cook a meal for dozens or hundreds of people here!
The power of good food is infinite, because just now the soldiers stopped their cart to check, so that many auxiliary soldiers have opinions, and when Feng Da returned the empty cart, the gate slammed shut! Only left an honest child in the concierge and waited to watch Xiao Han come back.
Close the gate and the yard will immediately go crazy! In the kitchen, a few juniors held thick bone sticks, and without washing them, they threw them into the pot that had already been filled with water and began to cook, and the thick wood under the stove crackled!
The smoke from the chimney on the roof was high, and after a while, the aroma of the pot wafted out, drifting far along the window, and the craftsmen and auxiliaries who were originally resting under the wall stood up one by one, sniffed their noses vigorously, and felt excited! This is the aroma of meat!!
