Chapter 20 It's a pity that there is nothing in the kitchen
Chapter 20 There is anything in the kitchen
Li Yu suddenly became happy. There were carpenters and bricklayers, and there were all kinds of people among the refugees.
When I heard that everyone had it, Li Yu was not satisfied with the food, but there was no need to worry about it. After understanding the kitchen matters, I had to eat one bite at a time, and I had to do one by one.
Li Yu felt that he couldn't ask clearly, so he might as well go to the kitchen to see what was going on and then make a conclusion. So he pointed to Liu Hu and said, "You lead the way, and a certain family wants to go to the kitchen to see it."
Although Liu Hu wondered why the family mainly went to the kitchen? Are you worried about yourself? He has served two generations of heads of the family. Now that he is serving this young man is the third generation, what else can I doubt?
No matter how much I think about it, since the husband has spoken, he still needs to execute it.
Liu Hu, full of doubt, simply agreed: "White! Please come with the villain."
The group followed Liu Hu into the yard on the left. It was already dark and could not see it. I didn't know what the structure of the kitchen yard was. I saw that Liu Hu had already entered a room with faint lights in front.
Everyone followed in. When the maids behind Li Yu came in with a few lamps, the room became much brighter. They saw a row of stoves inside, various pottery and copper basins, and neatly placed on the soil platform on the other side.
The earthen platform is divided into two layers, with a table similar to the conference table in later generations. The difference is that it is all made of mud, with some pottery pots and pottery bowls on it, as well as some unknown dishes and half a fan of lamb.
I'm afraid that even four or five people can't finish it. Then I turned my head and looked to the right. There were dirt platforms on three sides, all of which were top and bottom, densely packed, and there were a lot of things on the ground. The lights were too dim and I couldn't see clearly what it was.
Li Yu directed a few maids to take all the lamps over and observe them carefully.
After careful observation, Li Yu really liked it. In the middle of the period, the first layer was salt, bean drums, bean paste, green onion, ginger, garlic, and wine. The upper layer was filled with dates, pears, and oranges. When people in the Tang Dynasty had dinner, they always liked to put seasonal fruits on the table.
I also felt that it was normal to see these in the kitchen. I was very happy. There were onions, ginger, garlic, bean drums and soy sauce here. Although the seasonings were not too much, it was more than enough to cook. Apart from chili, there were basically some other seasonings.
Although there is no chili, there is nothing else. At least the food you make should be hundreds of times better than the boiled meat here.
The happy Li Yu was about to turn around and leave. As soon as he turned around, he saw a cloth bag on the dirt platform on the other side. Because it was too dark, he could not see clearly, so he had to turn his head over.
A few maids quickly took a few lights to the front. When Li Yu saw this, he was even more excited. He had seen some time travel in his previous life, and it was written that the Tang Dynasty had some spices, but basically no one used them.
It is also expensive, and it is true. Pepper, pepper, cinnamon, and tangerine peel are mixed with some medicines. They are sold in medicine shops or in Hu merchants, but they don’t want to have them at home, not only they are available, but also very comprehensive.
No wonder I felt like I smelled a familiar smell just now. Li Yu pretended not to recognize these, pointed to the cloth bag and asked, "Liu Hu, what are these."
Seeing the head of the family asking questions, Liu Hu hurriedly approached and looked at it and replied: "If you go home, this is the spice you bought from Hu Shang.
There are also some medicines, but they are rarely used in the mansion.
The villain didn't know how to use these medicines and spices? They were very expensive, so they kept it and did not increase it."
"Oh, let's leave it for now. When a certain family returns to the study tonight, check it out and you will know that you have to look at it. Don't lose it. A certain family will find a way to use it tomorrow."
Liu Hu immediately replied: "Don't worry, the head of the family, the people used in this kitchen are all children born in our mansion. They have been in the kitchen in the mansion for generations, and they are all family-born craftsmanship.
No outsider will lose anything. The villain has been here for 25 years and has never lost a single onion or a dou of rice..."
Seeing that Liu Hu was still talking nonsense, Li Yu quickly interrupted him: "Well, you are very attentive when on duty, and a certain family will know. By the way, how much money do you pay in this kitchen every month? Let's hear, a certain family will see how to reward you."
The servants present were so excited that they thought that they would perform well in the future. Liu Hu hurriedly replied: "When the master comes home, the villain is the head of the kitchen, so a little more, 120 yuan a month, a few foods made by 100 yuan a month, and the remaining mailboxes, 50 yuan a month,"
Li Yu remembers reading history before. A piece of paper in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to three yuan for later generations. In this way, it is equivalent to Liu Hu, who is equivalent to the chef in the later generations. He has only 120 papers, which is equivalent to 360 yuan for later generations. It is really too little.
However, compared with my childhood and that era, my mother had a salary of more than 100 yuan a month, which would be considered reasonable if compared.
But this life is different from the previous life. This family has great business, so why bother with a few small money? These chefs are directly related to their desire for the rest of their lives. Give them some salary to be considered a reward.
"In the future, everyone in your kitchen will increase by half the monthly rate."
The reason why I didn't look over and over again was that Li Yu didn't know how much income and deposits his family had, so he didn't dare to add them randomly.
I thought it would be okay to add half, but it would be only a few hundred texts.
When Liu Hu heard that he would have to pay half of his salary, he was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it. Thank you so much.
Li Yu's casual words gave everyone in the kitchen half of his salary, which made everyone present breathe.
Li Yu didn't know the situation at all. Everyone here was born and raised by the Tang Dynasty. Even the fewest servile servants were a few dozen cents more at once, and in the future, they would get dozens of cents more every month.
This is amazing. Nowadays, a bucket of rice is only a dozen dollars, and you can buy two buckets of rice if you take more than a dozen cents in the future.
Li Yu still couldn't understand the money conversion here for the time being, so he didn't know what the dozens of cents mean to the people of the Tang Dynasty, so he didn't care.
Little did they know that Datang did not have companies or enterprises, and they farmed for the sake of living. If they really wanted extra money, they could only work as jobs in wealthy families. Many people never saved up a few taels of silver in their lives.
