"What? The newcomer can only do the work of chopping wood and boiling water?" Gao Yao was speechless after hearing the words of the eunuch in charge.
After looking at the several heavily armed sergeants nearby, Gao Yao thought about his strength of only over 300 kilograms and resisted the desire to take action, mainly because he was afraid that beating these people would be too tiring.
"If you chop wood, chop wood. Anyway, there are sixty years, so I have plenty of time!" Gao Yao said a few words, and Gao Yao had to go aside to chop wood.
The eunuch in charge was relieved. According to the rules, the new eunuch and other old people would naturally have to teach him a lesson in love. But this time, this man was tall and powerful, and there was a strong sense of oppression when he was staring at him just now.
He thought about it and let it go. After all, everyone was family, so it was better to be warm.
"Chop, I'll chop!" Gao Yao casually held an axe, each one holding a piece of thick wood. Over the past few days, his strength had reached nearly 400 kilograms, and chopping firewood was a piece of cake for him.
Several young eunuchs nearby were shocked, how much strength this must have!
The key officer was cracking firewood while staring at the eunuchs who were cooking, squinting, making them tremble with fear, fearing that this fool would suddenly attack them and chop them down.
According to the laws of Qin, if they were killed, this high official would definitely not survive. But they themselves are gone too. It took them most of their lives to reach this position. It would be a great loss if they were cut down.
In just half a day, Gao Yao chopped all three days' worth of firewood.
"Manager, we've finished chopping the firewood, what else do we need to do?" Gao Yao said nonchalantly, he just thought of exercising, but it happened that all his strength was useless.
The head chef raised his head, smiled, and explained: "Gao Yao, we are all chefs, one family. It's not that I don't let you cook, it's just the rules in the palace, and there's nothing I can do about it."
"In this way, you can rest over there after you finish your work. When the nobles finish their meal, we can eat the rest together!"
Gao Yao looked at the manager who was so arrogant just now, but now he became friendly, and he suddenly understood the truth taught to him by Mr. Le.
The purpose of practicing martial arts is to make people feel calm and talk to them.
Sure enough, Le Ye never lied to him!
Now that he figured it out, Gao Yao had nothing to do here, so he just went to the kitchen and backyard to hum and haha. When he got interested, he even carried a whole tree and swung it around.
Some people initially thought he was noisy, but when they came in and saw this idiot swinging around a big tree that only three people could resist, everyone put it down.
In fact, it's so quiet here, it would be lively if there was a noise.
For lunch, the little eunuch even personally delivered the meal. The rice was made of fine rice and the vegetables were large fish and meat. Although they were leftovers from the nobles' meals, they tasted pretty good.
Gao Yue was so happy that he and the little yellow cat feasted: "Master Le, you two are on the right track. I didn't expect that a little eunuch in this palace is treated so well."
The little eunuch next to me silently ate wheat flour pancakes and cried silently in her heart. That's because you are the only one who is treated well.
They come, the security. In the next few days, apart from chopping firewood and exercising, Gao Yao also studied medical techniques, medicinal foods, and sometimes walked around the kitchen to see how the chefs cooked and what seasonings they had.
Of course, the chef is not allowed to watch, but with today's advanced cooking skills and five senses, most of the special dishes can be tasted and they will know how to cook them to produce the same taste.
Le Ye appears and disappears, sometimes bringing medicinal herbs picked up from nowhere to add to the meal.
Although one person and one cat live under someone else's roof, they are living a pretty good life. There was food and drink, and even Gao Yao occupied a space by himself in Datongpu where he slept at night. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and it had nothing to do with him punching a hole in the bluestone Tongpu.
This person can be happy as long as he doesn't compare with others.
The days gradually passed, and in a blink of an eye it was October, the wax festival, which is the beginning of the year.
Before the Qin Dynasty, the beginning of the year was also different. Each dynasty designated one month as the beginning of the year. In the Xia Dynasty, the first month was designated as the first month of the year. In the Shang Dynasty, it became December, and in the Zhou Dynasty, it became November.
In the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor designated October as the beginning of the year in order to be different. It is already autumn, the crops and rice have been stored in the warehouse, and everyone has begun to summarize the year. For farmers, the arrival of crops in the warehouse means that the year has ended, and this is why the Spring Festival sacrificial activities are held.
On the day of the wax sacrifice, Qin Shihuang bathed and changed his clothes under the service of eunuchs. He led the civil and military officials to the altar and offered pigs, horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock to the sky in order to pray to the gods to bless the Qin Dynasty with good weather and peace in the coming year.
Then some wizards danced with a mysterious atmosphere, with the purpose of removing diseases and disasters for the emperor and the people.
Gao Yao also glanced at Qin Shihuang from a distance. He was strong and strong, with a long sword on his waist, and he also had two eyes and one nose. According to Ogawa, this emperor was the first unified emperor in Chinese history, establishing a series of unified policies: language, writing, weights and measures, etc.
He also attacked the Huns in the north and conquered Baiyue in the south. The martial arts and martial arts are the first in all dynasties in China for two thousand years.
But what Gao Yao envied most was what Ogawa said. The Afang Palace of Qin Shihuang lived in the concubines, princesses, queens of the Six Dynasties, and thousands of the most beautiful beauties in the country.
There are so many beauties, but I don’t know if Lao Zheng is too busy to keep busy. Gao Yao was very worried about others.
After the wax festival, which is the day when wages are paid, according to the rules, an unrated eunuch like Gao Yao only gets dozens of copper coins every month, which are bronze coins with round square holes and the word "half a tael" on them. It is a small seal script and is said to have been inscribed by Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty.
In Da Qin, gold was the upper currency, and the unit was "yi" [yi] (20 taels in total); bronze coins were the lower currency, and the unit was "half a tael". (Qin system: 1 stone = 4 jun, 1 jun = 30 catties, 1 catty = 16 taels, 1 tael = 24 baht, one catty is equivalent to 258.24 grams, and one tael is equal to 16.14 grams.)
Looking at the dozens of copper coins in his hand, and then at the heavy gold in the hands of other eunuchs, Gao Yao's eyes looked dangerous.
Why should he get such a small amount of money when everyone does the same job?
The head chef who handed out the money felt cold all over, and when he met Gao Yao's eyes, he felt helpless. With his status, it was very easy to trick someone. As long as Gao Yao made a big mistake, he didn't have to do anything himself. The sergeants guarding him could just come out and deal with him.
Unexpectedly, this Gao Yao also has the ability to treat patients, especially good at recuperating the body, replenishing the kidneys and strengthening yang. Within a few days, I became familiar with the guard sergeants, and even called them brothers. Not to mention the big brother and the little brother, they were very affectionate.
As a result, he really didn't dare to deal with it. It didn't matter without him. There were many people who wanted to be general managers. But without Gao Yao, he doubted that these sergeants could kill him.
After pondering for a moment, the steward approached Gao Yao and reluctantly took out a piece of gold cake from his arms: "Gao Yao, you have spent half an hour chopping firewood every day these days, and you have achieved great results for your hard work. This gold cake is a reward for you! "
Gao Yao took it casually, weighed it, it was quite heavy, and immediately smiled: "Then Gao Yao, thank the manager."
Seeing this thorny head smiled, the manager breathed a sigh of relief.
Hey, what the boss fears most is being stabbed in the head. He remembered that the eunuch who recruited people said that he was an honest person, didn't he?
Of course, he also used his own little thoughts. Although there were many people in the palace who could treat illnesses, they were responsible for the safety of the nobles.
When people at the bottom of the class get sick, the doctors who come here are probably just beginning doctors, and they use weird medicines. It's better to ask Gao Yao to help treat them.
Last time, a young eunuch fainted from exhaustion because he had to help with some important work. He was woken up with a punch.
Look, this is professional!
While the two were discussing, suddenly, a eunuch was dragged back like a dead dog. His butt had been beaten, his mouth was full of blood, and his face was gray. He struggled for a while and died.
Gao Yao felt a chill in his heart: "Manager, what is this?"
The manager sighed: "This is the cook who cooked for Mr. Hu Hai. He was beaten to death because the food tasted bad."
Gao Yao was stunned. Only at this moment did he truly feel the cruelty of this world. Human life is like a piece of grass. If it's gone, it's gone. No one will care except your relatives.
If he hadn't been taken care of by Brother Le, would he be alive now?
Thinking about what he had encountered these days, Gao Yao suddenly started to sweat. He quickly took out the gold cake in his arms and held it in both hands to the steward: "Master Steward, Gao Yao was not sensible before. I admit my mistake here!"
The manager was startled, then took the gold cake with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say, you have some medical skills, that's what you are capable of. Don't worry, the Qin Dynasty is prospering now, and we will get better and better as we get better."
In addition, I will not send you to Mr. Hu Hai. That would be a life-threatening job. Why do so many of us still need you? "
Hu Hai?
Gao Yao felt that the name sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be the Qin II whom Ogawa had mentioned. He was still just a prince, so if he was appreciated for cooking for him, wouldn't he become famous?
"Manager, I'm going to be a cook for Mr. Hu Hai!" Gao Yao is very confident in his cooking skills. Besides, Brother Le is the one who knows the truth. At worst, if he pretends to be dead then, he won't be a good man again when he is buried in a mass grave. .
The manager was stunned and looked him up and down with surprise in his eyes.
I'm afraid he's not a fool.
"No, if you die, I can't afford to offend those sergeants!" The manager refused directly. Da Qin now has a military industry title system. Even if those high-ranking elders can't kill him, there is no problem in breaking his legs.
Gao Yao was speechless: "In this way, I will give you the secret recipe for nourishment."
The manager's eyes lit up and he made a quick decision: "Cai!"
Gao Yao:......
When Gao wanted to hand over the secret recipe, it immediately lost its value and was almost happily sent to Prince Hu Hai's palace by a group of young eunuchs.
Arriving at Master Hu Hai's kitchen, Gao Yao was warmly received by the servants and eunuchs as soon as he entered.
If they can't cook the food well, they may not survive for long. Slaves are just like livestock. The master wants them to die with just one word.
Gao Yao's face became more and more serious. Before cooking, he carefully asked the servants about Mr. Hu Hai's usual taste and recent behavior. He even asked about drinking water, drinking alcohol, and favoring women.
Of course, Hu Hai is only a few years old now, and he doesn't have the ability to favor women yet.
After deliberation for a long time, Gao Yao finally decided on the dish he wanted to make.
Opportunity awaits those who are prepared!
