"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 own strength of just over 300 kilograms and resisted the desire to take action, mainly because he was afraid that beating these people would be too tiring.
"When 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 breathed a sigh of relief. According to the rules, the new eunuch and other old people would naturally have to teach him a lesson in love. But this time, these people were tall and powerful, and there was a strong sense of oppression when they stared at him just now.
He thought about it and let it go. After all, we are all family members, so it would be better to be warm.
"Chop, I'll chop!" Gao Yao casually held an axe, each with a thick piece of 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 idiot would suddenly get angry and chop them down.
According to the laws of Qin, if they were killed, this high-ranking official would definitely not be able to survive. But they themselves would be dead too. It took them most of their lives to climb to this position. If they were killed, it would be a big loss.
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, after you finish your work, rest there and wait for the noble lady to finish his meal later. Then 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 calm people down and talk to them.
Sure enough, Le Ye never lied to him!
Now that he has figured it out, Gao Yao has nothing to do here, so he can just go to the kitchen backyard to hum haha, and when he gets interested, he even carries a whole tree and swings 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 that it would be lively if there was any noise.
For lunch, the little eunuch even personally delivered food. 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.
Once it's here, let's make peace with it. In the next few days, apart from chopping firewood, exercising, and studying medicine and food, Gao Yao sometimes wanders around the kitchen to see how the chefs cook and what seasonings they have.
Of course, the chef is not allowed to watch, but with today's advanced cooking skills and five senses, you can taste most of the special dishes and know how to cook them to get 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 lived under someone else's roof, they lived a pretty good life. There was food and drink, and even Gao Yao had a place to himself in Datongpu where he slept at night. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and they punched the bluestone with him.
It doesn't matter if a hole is hammered into the 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 a month as the beginning of the year. The Xia Dynasty designated the first month as the beginning of the year. In the Shang Dynasty, it became December, and in the Zhou Dynasty it became December.
November.
In the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor designated October as the beginning of the year in order to be different. It was already autumn, and the crops and rice had been stored in the warehouse, and everyone began to summarize the year. For farmers, putting the crops in the warehouse meant a day.
The new year has come to an end, and now there is the Spring Festival sacrificial activity.
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 a dance full of mysterious atmosphere, with the purpose of getting rid of diseases and disasters for the emperor and the people.
Gao Yao also looked at Qin Shihuang from a distance. He was strong and strong, wearing a long sword on his waist. He also had two eyes and one nose. According to Ogawa, this emperor was the first unified emperor in the history of China and established a series of unifications.
Policies: language, writing, weights and measures, etc.
He also attacked the Xiongnu in the north and conquered Baiyue in the south. His civil and military skills were the first in all dynasties in China for two thousand years.
But what Gao Yao envied the most was what Xiaochuan said. Qin Shihuang's Afang Palace housed concubines, princesses, queens from 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 busy enough. Gao Yao is very worried about them.
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 the Qin Dynasty, 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 jin, 1
Jin = 16 taels, 1 tael = 24 baht, one jin is equivalent to 258.24 grams, 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 does he get such a small amount of money when everyone does the same job?
The head chef who paid the money went 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 it himself.
Any number of sergeants can deal with him.
Unexpectedly, this high-ranking official was also good at treating patients, especially good at recuperating the body, tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the yang. Within a few days, he became familiar with the guarding sergeants, and even called them brothers, not to mention being affectionate with each other.
As a result, he really didn't dare to deal with him. 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 gold cake from his arms: "Gao Yao, you have spent half an hour chopping firewood every day these days. You have worked hard and achieved great results. This gold cake is your reward!"
"
Gao Yao took it casually, weighed it, it was quite heavy, and immediately smiled: "Then Gao Yao, thank the manager."
Seeing this prickly head smiled, the manager breathed a sigh of relief.
Hey, what the boss fears most is being stabbed in the head. Didn't he remember that the eunuch who recruited people said that he was an honest person?
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 strange medicines. It is 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. After struggling for a while, he died.
Gao Yao felt a chill in his heart: "Manager, what is this?"
The manager sighed: "This is the chef who cooked for Mr. Hu Hai. He was beaten to death because it 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 is gone, it will be gone. No one will care except your relatives.
If he hadn't been taken care of by Le Ge, would he be alive today?
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 manager: "Sir, 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."
Besides, I won’t 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, he will pretend to be dead when the time comes, and 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 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 case, 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 came in.
If they can't cook the food well, they won't be able to survive for long. Slaves are just like livestock, and 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, 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.
