"What's the problem? The problem may be big." The Prime Minister said matter-of-factly,
"The two countries of Yan and Liang are not on good terms, and the two armies have sworn hatred. It has only been a few years of peace, and now there are so many chefs coming to Yan State. As a recruiter for the Prime Minister's Office, we must do a good job in treating their personnel. Screening to prevent Yan Guo's secret work from infiltrating into our prime minister's house. If that is the case, then we people in the Prime Minister's Hall will become the sinners of Liang Guo."
When Mei Hua rushed back to Xiangshan Hall, there was still a sea of people at the entrance of Xiangshan Hall. There were several long lines of people signing up for chef training, men and women, people coming in and out, it was so lively.
Liu Bancheng and Jin Suo were chatting and laughing in Meihua's room. Her room was rarely locked.
When Jin Suo saw Plum Blossom coming in, he immediately stood up and said hello!
Mei Hua nodded to Jinsuo, and then dragged Liu Bancheng's arm to the corridor. Liu Bancheng was puzzled.
"Halfway through, Prime Minister He reminded us to recruit chefs now, especially chefs from Yan State, and let us strictly control them. To prevent people with impure motives from Yan State from breaking into our Liang Mansion, you must remember this."
Liu Bancheng smiled contemptuously.
"How many years has it been since the war between the two countries? There has been a long-term war between the two countries, and the people are in dire straits. No one wants to fight. There has been peace for many years. People like to live and work in peace and contentment, learn some skills, and support their families. This is human nature."
"And there is no need for the Prime Minister to remind me about this. I have paid attention to this aspect for a long time. I did ask about the people who came from Yan State one by one about their experiences. They are very simple people, and these people are all Jinsuo who came from Yan State and stationed in Liang State. The embassy brought it here. There is an agreement between countries. The safety of the citizens they transport is guaranteed. Don’t you believe it? Besides, Jinsuo and I came to your country of Liang together. , we are good friends, if you can’t trust him, can’t you trust me?”
"And the applicants are not only from the Yan Kingdom, but also from the Jin Kingdom, the Mo Kingdom, and the Ze Kingdom, that is, people from the Queen Mother Renxian's hometown and Mrs. Jingxue's hometown. If we want to treat them all as spies, then Isn’t it a joke?”
Of course, Meihua was half-believing Liu Bancheng's words. Who could guarantee whether the people here had exquisite works from other countries, especially those from Yan State. At this point, she still thinks more about her adoptive father, Prime Minister He.
Liu Bancheng, already feeling that Mei Hua was still hesitating, said directly, "Forget it, I'll go and meet the Prime Minister directly. I happen to have some other ideas and want to report to him in person. Don't worry, I'll go now !”
Jinsuo saw that Liu was about to leave midway, so he left after a few simple greetings.
Since Jinsuo came to Liang Kingdom, this was the first time he came to Xiangshan Hall to see Liu Bancheng.
Compared with the newly arrived Liang Guo, Jin Suo has become more mature and steady, his eyes are sharper and his steps are more steady. When Liu Bancheng saw his retreating figure, he felt that this man had a kind of majesty and respected him in his heart. .
In the past, He Xiang would politely give up his seat halfway through meeting Liu, but this time the Prime Minister was careless, using a knife to dig up the soil in the flower pot.
Liu Bancheng was waiting awkwardly behind him for the prime minister to speak.
Liu Bancheng himself feels that he has made a lot of progress in the past six months.
Since becoming the head of the Xiangshan Hall, he has gone through some things, and he has also developed a style of being neither hurry nor slow, nor humble nor overbearing. The Prime Minister did not speak, and he did not speak either, just waiting quietly behind the Prime Minister. .
At this time, the Prime Minister turned around and patted the dirt on his sleeves, "Ah, halfway, you have been working hard recently."
"Our Prime Minister's Mansion has regained its strength, and it's all thanks to you!"
Liu Bancheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you Prime Minister for your recognition. This is all due to the Prime Minister's good command!"
"The Prime Minister reminded us to do a good job in screening applicants for chefs, and we will remember it!"
"Okay, Meihua told you, right? Well, don't be careless in this regard, because this is what I'm most worried about!"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will check these people from abroad one by one. I will be responsible for the safety of the Prime Minister's Mansion and even the safety of Liang Guo!"
"Responsible, you, just you. If there is a problem, can you take the responsibility?" His body was turned away, but his head was turned around. The prime minister squinted one eye and stared at Liu Bancheng.
Halfway through, he knew that this sentence was a bit abrupt, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "I just said the wrong thing. Although I can't bear such a big responsibility, I will try my best!"
The prime minister turned around and patted Liu Bancheng on the shoulder, "Oh! That's good. But there is something else I want to tell you. You have to remember it."
Sweat started to appear on my forehead due to what I just said wrongly. I wiped it off and leaned forward to listen to the Prime Minister's words.
"Just now, the Yao Mansion, as well as the dining room of Prince Liang Mu's Mansion, as well as Queen Mother Renxian and Madam Jingxue's Mansion, all came to invite us. Remember, we are not asking for people, but inviting people. Their kitchens are all We are short of manpower, and we are short of well-established cooks and cooks. Our Xiangshantang’s dishes are authentic, famous, and of high quality, so they all come to us for help.”
"You, assign some people to each of them now, and bring the tools to their houses in the afternoon to report. Each family will send at least five people. You just have to master this aspect."
"Prime Minister, you must not do that now!"
"Why?" The Prime Minister frowned, obviously unhappy. He had already reached behind the desk with his hands behind his back, and there was a sharp knife in his eyes that was stabbing Liu Bancheng.
Liu Bancheng was a little nervous, "He is such a prime minister. I know they are short of people, but can you take it a little longer?"
“This is actually the situation of our Xiangshantang chefs.
Our Xiangshantang’s daily security is indeed not a big problem now. However, there are not many successful chefs in the chef team. They are all the old skills accumulated by our Xiangshantang over the years. When the kitchen was restored last time, a large number of young people had already left due to the low salary and heavy workload. chef. Now these experienced chefs are working in groups to lead apprentices. If they are sent out at this time, not only the quality of training new people will be affected, but the quality of daily service guarantee will also be greatly reduced! "
"Hey, stop talking. There are so many conditions to negotiate. Overcome difficulties. In this regard, you and Meihua will figure it out on your own."
Did you hear that this is different from Liu Bancheng's original living environment?
You are not allowed to explain or speak at all.
Alas, the official level is really overwhelming.
Xiangshantang had finally recovered a little bit of its strength after being tortured by him, and now it was time to send out a group of key personnel, which was no less than draining the bottom of the cauldron.
"Well, Prime Minister, if we really send these key people out, I think we must charge them double wages for food and dining rooms, and double their salaries."
Prime Minister, raised his eyebrows upward,
"Hmph! What you have in mind is not a good idea. Let me tell you the truth, the people sent this time must be qualified, and they must be able to organize the people who serve meals independently, and they will not be paid a penny. The wages of these people sent out are all We pay for it all. Just like you just said, we need to give them double wages to ensure their mental stability while working outside. This is the answer I give to people face to face."
What? What kind of logic is this? If we work for others for free, we have to pay them double the wages of our dispatched personnel.
The Prime Minister was puzzled when he saw Liu Bancheng standing still and twisting his neck towards the window.
"What, do you have any opinions? If you think you can't do it, just ask it directly. There are many people here who want to do it. Lin Zongren wants to do it, and Xu Yangling's younger brother Gao Hu also wants to do it. , there are many people, Xiangshan Hall does not lack one of you."
Ouch, listen again, the prime minister of a dignified country actually said such vulgar and vulgar words, it really makes me sit up and take notice.
The tall image of the Prime Minister in my mind quickly collapsed, and Liu didn't even know how to answer the question from the person in front of him.
Halfway through, I thought that the Prime Minister might have been holding back what he said today for more than a day or two.
What is wrong with me? Where is the problem?
