Chapter 2731 Those who wish take the bait

The chef's eyes lit up and he was pleasantly surprised for a moment, then he hesitated again and said hesitantly: "Do you want to sign a contract with me?"

"Of course the contract must be signed. You can sign a living contract. If you don't want to work in my house, I also have a restaurant at home. You can go in and try it. I think your little white pastry is delicious."

The chef became nervous, wanting to go but also being afraid.

As for Chang'an, it is said that that place is full of gold and pearls. The adults there are all dressed in silk and satin, and they all eat white rice and white noodles. Just looking at the grace of this nobleman is extraordinary.

If you can follow him...

The chef asked cautiously: "My little family..."

Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a bad person, so I won't separate your flesh and blood. You can bring your family with you."

He pointed at Daji and said: "If you are interested and have any doubts, you can talk to Daji. I think your skills are good, but staying here is a bit of a waste of talent. If you go to Chang'an, you may be able to show your talents and achieve something."

"

Chang'an, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, is a place that many people yearn for, even if the chef is far away in Goguryeo, he still yearns for it.

But leaving his hometown and a familiar place still made him a little scared, mainly because he didn't know much about the treatment given to this noble man.

So he knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I just want to think about it."

Bai Shan nodded, "Okay, think about it slowly."

After the chef went out, he went to Daji to inquire. He asked Daji curiously, "Is your Excellency a servant of a noble family?"

Being a servant among the servants is actually a kind of honor, and you can rely on the power of the master's family.

Daji said: "It used to be, but now I am a good citizen, but I still work as a follower by the young master's side."

The chef's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then it must be because you are extremely capable and have made great contributions to the master's family, right?"

Daji just smiled and didn't want to say anything, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Fortunately, it's just that our two sons are promising, and one is about to study for the imperial examination, so the old lady graciously gave me a book.

"

He was able to study and pass the imperial examination. The chef covered his heart. This was a big deal that changed the family.

The chef lowered his voice and asked, "Is your family very prosperous?"

"Our young master comes from the Bai family in Longzhou."

The chef couldn't understand it, but it sounded like he was very powerful.

He hesitated for a moment and then asked: "I wonder how the servants' wages are calculated?"

This is a good thing. The treatment in the kitchen has always been relatively good. The person in charge of the kitchen gets the same salary as the maid, a shilling a month, and clothes for all seasons. There is no need to worry about food and accommodation. Occasionally, there are rewards.

Anyway, it’s not bad.

The chef asked in a low voice, "I wonder how much rice can be bought with a sling of money in Chang'an?"

"This year, the price will be around eighty dou per ounce."

The chef trembled his lips and asked, "White, white rice?"

Daji nodded: "White rice."

The chef became even more excited.

Daji continued: "There are restaurants and tea shops at home. If you don't want to stay in the mansion, you can also work as a chef in these places."

Daji paused and said, "Their wages are not low either."

Daji is an honest man and can't say anything particularly nice, but the chef and other guards also asked about Chang'an. They heard that Anshi City is similar to a small town on the edge of Beijing, and every county there is prosperous.

It is extremely crowded with tourists.

The buildings are generally no lower than three floors, the roads are wide, and there are people from all countries. Pearls and gems are all over the streets...

Xue Gui walked past them expressionlessly. He couldn't quite understand what Bai Shan meant. What was the use of spending so much time subduing a cook?

It can't really be just to bring people back to the capital to make some little white-skinned cakes, right?

Then when Bai Shan came with the chef and his family to express his loyalty and expressed his willingness to follow Bai Shan back to Chang'an, Bai Shan smiled slightly and immediately established a ten-year living contract with them.

He said: "After ten years, if you still want to stay in my home, then continue to stay. If not, I can settle down in Chang'an for you and make it a good place for you."

The chef was greatly moved and kowtowed repeatedly.

Then Bai Shan gave him a bag of golden beans and said with a smile: "I'll suppress this now. Now that the two countries are at war, it's hard to publicize it, so you know how I'll get better. Take these golden beans and go buy more tomorrow."

Great food, I’d like to treat General Yuan Yi and a few adults to dinner.”

"Yes." The chef bowed and took it.

Bai Shan paused and then smiled and said: "It is not good to invite the generals to a meal without wine, and it is not good to have wine. I wonder which restaurant in this city has a fine wine collection?"

The chef thought for a while and then said: "Some wealthy businessmen and wealthy families have fine wines, but these wines are not easy to buy. Unfortunately, the restaurants are closed now."

"I also know that good wine is rare, but after all, it is my first time to entertain guests, so I have to do it to perfection," Bai Shan said with a smile: "In my opinion, although good wine is rare, as long as the chips are enough, someone will always sell it. Come here.

——”

Then soldiers and guards came up with several pieces of cloth.

These are all the good things they collected when they attacked Liaodong City and Baiyan City. Bai Shan specially brought them here.

He and the chef, whose eyes were wide-eyed, said: "This is the silk and satin I brought from Chang'an. Maybe someone will like it. You can try to exchange it. It would be great if you can get two or three jars of good wine."

The chef nodded repeatedly and carried his things out in a distracted state.

He wouldn't dare to buy such a good thing.

So in less than two hours, half of the wealthy families and wealthy businessmen in Anshi City knew that the Jin envoys who came from the opposite side were not only generous, but also lived a luxurious life. They wanted to eat fresh vegetables and good meat every meal. Now

Also eat good wine.

Just because he wanted to entertain General Yuan Yi and his friends, he was willing to give out four pieces of excellent silk and satin in exchange for fine wine, which was a waste of natural resources.

This is the discussion of people who are relatively well-informed. Most ordinary people don't know who Bai Shan is, and they don't know that envoys are coming from the other side. They are just worried that they don't know when this battle will last.

But some people think a lot, they have access to the highest secrets, and they can also know the thoughts of some people.

In a large house in the south of the city, a young man quickly entered the house, bringing a servant behind him holding a piece of cloth. He told his father the news he had just received, "My son made his own decision and gave him a jar of wine in exchange."

The middle-aged man stood up to look at the silk and satin, touched it and said, "It is indeed fine silk and satin."

"I heard it was brought from the capital."

The middle-aged man sneered and said: "He came to march and fight, not to do business. Why did he bring such fine silk and satin? I guess it is the trophies collected from other cities."

"My son is ashamed."

The middle-aged man said nonchalantly: "What is there to be ashamed of? The things are not fake. But this envoy is indeed smart and arrogant enough."

From the first day Bai Shan came here, many people had been staring at him and the Council. They also wanted to know whether they could negotiate peace or...surrender.

So they all know Bai Shan's recipes that he has not repeated in the past few days. Regardless of whether he is a pampered son of a family or not, he is very arrogant anyway.

The second prince actually tolerated his arrogance, which is very thought-provoking.

The middle-aged man said: "Go and get a jar of good wine, and we will go out for a walk tomorrow."

"yes."
