There are still rules like having to be searched when entering the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I went through a lot of training in the military camp of Yan State.
The physical fitness of Houzao soldiers must be excellent, which is also the basic requirement of Yanguo army for logistics soldiers.
Therefore, when the fat woman searched me, she pinched my shoulders, chest and other parts a few times, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
Afterwards, the female chef took me to arrange accommodation.
The female chef walked in front and I followed behind.
The round ass of the female chef was twisting and turning, forcing me to look to both sides.
We passed through a garden and turned two corridors.
The winter snow at this time has bent the branches of the garden.
When I came to a three-story door, I opened the door curtain on the first floor. Inside was a long tube, like the ones in modern apartments.
One-room houses attached to one another.
Walking to the end of the corridor, the female chef took out a bunch of keys and opened the door.
The dark room was filled with a smell of mold.
She lit the oil lamp.
Only then did I see the general layout clearly.
There is a wooden bed at the end.
Two small wooden chairs.
Pottery basin.
There is a small window near the washbasin in the corner, which can see the outside.
The female chef handed me a key and looked at me again.
"This is your room, Liu Bancheng!"
"Let's take a break today. I'm going to take you out in the afternoon and evening. Please don't wander around at this time. Do you understand me?"
"Listen clearly!"
The female chef's waist is almost as thick as her neck.
His speaking voice was also very rough.
Her eyes and commanding tone left me in no doubt.
Just like this, there was no words for the whole night.
The next morning, normally, I had just arrived at a new unit, and I had to get up early to pack myself up before I could go to work.
But now I am in Liang Kingdom, especially when I first arrived at Prime Minister Liang's Mansion, my dominant thought is that I no longer want to pretend to be myself or deliberately wrong myself.
I've been pretending for so many years when I was in my original unit, but now I'm tired and don't want to pretend anymore.
There should be another reason why there are so many Gangers.
Yesterday I tried the dishes in front of He Xiang,
Even Prime Minister He fell in love with the loach pot with soy milk and mud made by himself, so what else could he say?
Since the biggest officer here has taken a liking to him, why did he let himself get up so early?
Know that you are valuable.
In this case, there is no need to be falsely positive, you have to put on a show.
Therefore, I slept until I woke up naturally, and slept until about 9 a.m.
Then the fat female chef knocked on the door.
He leaned against the door and came in first with his head but not his body.
He just tilted his head and glanced at me and my bed.
Then he turned back and said loudly in the corridor,
"Liu Bancheng, hurry up and get up. I'll use this little time in the morning to take you around!"
The Prime Minister's Mansion of the Liang Kingdom and the Prime Minister's Dining Hall in the backyard covered such an astonishing area.
After just a quick glance, it took me and the female chef two hours to finish the tour.
But I have a general understanding of the entire courtyard structure of Xiangshan Hall.
This Xiangshan Hall should be composed of three parts. If seen from a height, it looks like a "work" shape.
The front part is a three-story building, all of which is made of wood.
It is the place where all the guests of He Xiang eat.
Those dining on the first floor were ministers who had already taken office in the imperial court.
According to the fat chef, those who eat in the restaurant on this floor are basically those with higher job levels.
You don’t have to pay for your meals here, it’s all free. As for where the funds come from, the female chef didn’t tell me, and I didn’t ask.
However, no matter how high-ranking the adults who dine here are, they are all recommended by Prime Minister He Xuan to become officials in the imperial court, so they are still the disciples of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Then the second level is for ordinary diners.
Most of these hangers-on have nothing to do or work, so they just sit around in the Prime Minister's Mansion, eating and drinking for free.
Some also served as officials in the imperial court, but they were generally minor officials, that is, middle- and lower-level cadres.
There are differences not only in the dishes between the first and second floors, but also in the dining tables.
The tables on the first floor are all single, small, low and long tables.
Before the meal starts at noon every day, someone has placed food on each small table in advance, and it will not be the same for seven days.
The tables on the second floor are all long tables, lined up row by row. The diners who come to dine will line up in long lines to get their meals, and then carry their own food and eat on both sides of the long table, just like in a university Or like a middle school restaurant.
When the female chef led me here, she said,
"You, you may become a chef in the restaurant on this floor in the future. You will cook here. This is your main battlefield."
When we walked up to the third floor, we saw an empty hall in front of us, as big as four basketball courts, with a stand that could be 15 meters high.
There is also a small narrow passage on both sides of the hall.
It seems to me that it is a bit like the Hui Ma Corridor structure in Suzhou. Such a building should be very elegant.
I didn't understand what this space was used for, and I didn't ask.
He Xiang's Mansion is by no means an ordinary place. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, and don't look at things you shouldn't see. This is what Master Yao specially told himself when he arrived.
The second part of Xiangshan Hall from south to north is the kitchen part, which is the stove part.
The kitchen is also divided into three floors.
When the fat chef led me through the kitchen on the first floor, the chefs were shuttled back and forth in the steaming atmosphere, so busy that they were sweating and enjoying themselves.
Go north through the kitchen, past the garden, and then through a meandering creek, which is a creek that still flows in winter.
After passing the creek, you come to an independent courtyard with a three-story building in front.
The first floor is the dormitory where Liu Bancheng lives. The east half is the dormitory, and the west half is the warehouse. One side of the warehouse is where the chefs take showers.
In the bathing area, there are men's bathrooms and women's bathrooms.
I think it's a little inappropriate to have men's and women's bathrooms next to each other.
It's possible to think whatever you want.
However, I didn't expect that ancient officials' consideration of chefs was quite comprehensive, similar to today's.
Bathroom is very necessary.
Otherwise, the chef will be sweating all day long after working hard, making himself uncomfortable and the quality of the food he cooks will be affected.
However, in the end, the female chefs were not allowed to go up to the second and third floors of this building.
she says,
"You will understand this later. I don't have time today, so let's go back to rest first. I will take you to dinner at noon. I will go to the front desk to take a look, because the meal has already started!"
I looked at the back of the female chef leaving, and felt that this female chef had a good heart. I should at least introduce the whole Xiangshan Hall to me.
Moreover, when she was leading me around, she would often glance at me with the corner of her eyes. I just pretended not to know.
Whenever a chef passed by them, I found that these chefs nodded and bowed to the female chef.
It shows that this fat female chef is quite prestigious here.
Although a little fatter.
After seeing off the female chef, I walked along the corridor to return to my room.
As I approached my room, I noticed some noise in the room diagonally across from my room.
There seemed to be more than one person laughing inside, and there were sounds of pots and pans.
Just when I wanted to pass by,
The door suddenly opened.
