The Golden Age Chapter 583: Swill pool


Qin Xiao yawned and said, "I didn’t sleep well last night. Master Young Supervisor, we can’t find out this case in one day. Next, let’s stay in the library and do two things. , The first thing is to find a way to unlock the secret of embroidered shoes, the second thing, starting from tomorrow morning, the three of us will find people in the camp for inquiries, you two will ask the officers and soldiers under Jiang Xiaochun for inquiries, I Responsible for the Neiku side."

"My lord, the next official guessed that, except for the internal response involved in the case, everyone else really doesn't know anything." Carefully said: "The next official thinks that he should focus on interrogating the generals and officials in Nekuli, those Guard soldiers, you can also choose some inquiries, but you don’t have to ask all soldiers, which may delay time."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Inquiry is not the purpose." But there was no explanation, but Chen Xi seemed to understand Qin Xiao's meaning and nodded slightly.

"Several adults, the food is ready." Jiang Xiaochun's voice came from outside the door: "I don't know if the food is delivered here, how many adults should go to the cafeteria to eat?"

Jiang Xiaochun is a cronies of the princess, otherwise he would not be sent here. In this inner library, he commanded nearly two hundred guards. This one-third of acres of land, he is the absolute Huangdi, but Qin Xiao and others Coming from Kyoto, Jiang Xiaochun did not dare to neglect.

"Let's go to the hometown and follow the customs." Qin Xiao got up and said: "Let's go to the cafeteria."

Jiangnan Neiku’s canteen is separate. There are six cooks and coworkers in Neiku who are responsible for cooking. On the way to the canteen, Jiang Xiaochun introduced in detail. Although the canteen on the warehouse side is separate from the canteen on the guard’s side, The six rear cooks are responsible for the food. Each kitchen prepares the food in the warehouse first, and then the food for the guards.

There are few people in the warehouse, and there are less than 20 people in total. It is easier to cook their meals.

Pangyu and others also followed to the cafeteria. This cafeteria is very spacious, with more than 30 tables in it, two of which are already served with food, Fatyu and others have a table, and Qin Xiao has a table for three. , But the food is the same. Although it is on the mountain, the food is very good. There are fish and meat, and even a few delicate dishes.

"Jiangnan likes to cook small dishes, so I will give it a try to a few adults." A fat-eared cook leaned over and said with a smile: "It's rushed, a few adults will look at it. It doesn't suit the taste."

"The fragrance is overflowing, it must be very good." Qin Xiao smelled it, saw Jiang Xiaochun still standing, and greeted: "Commander Jiang sits together. You are the landlord and we are the guests. You should accompany you." /

Jiang Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, then sat down, and said: "It is forbidden to drink on the mountain, so there is no reserve of alcohol. Forgive me, a few adults."

"This is already very good." Qin Xiao sighed: "The princess treats her subordinates very well. Other troops can't eat this kind of food."

Jiang Xiaochun sighed: "These brothers have stayed on the mountain for two years. Although they can't say how hard they are, they are different from other places. The princess is considerate and everyone is very grateful."

"Is this pork transported from below the mountain?" Qin Xiao asked.

Jiang Xiaochun nodded and said: "Yes, the princess allocates a generous amount of food to Neiku every year, and everyone eats very well. Brothers will tell Chai Shanhe what they want to eat on weekdays. Cai Shanhe is in charge of Neiku. Logistics, responsible for purchasing."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "So Deputy Commander Chai must be very popular with everyone." Before

I heard Jiang Xiaochun mentioned that Chai Shanhe is one of the two deputy commanders under Jiang Xiaochun's command. He is in charge of logistics, and Chai Shanhe is responsible for the purchase of food and drink on the mountain.

"If you can raise some pigs on the mountain, the leftovers will be enough to feed them." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "If I were under the command of Jiang, I would definitely suggest that you set up a pigsty on the mountain, The kitchen is responsible for raising pigs."

The fat cook next to him couldn’t help but said: "My lord is really wise. In fact, there are really a lot of leftovers on the mountain every day. It’s not a problem to raise 20 or 30 pigs. The sump pool will be full in three days. , The leftovers are dumped in it, which is really a pity."

Jian Xiaochun frowned and glanced at the cook, apparently to blame him for being too talkative. The cook lowered his head and dared not say more.

"I don't care about these things." Jiang Xiaochun said: "They also mentioned this before, saying that there are too many leftovers. They can raise some pigs, and they can also raise some chickens and ducks, but Chai Shanhe thinks This is the inner library. If you keep those things in the inner library, the princess will definitely be unhappy, so give up."

Qin Xiao smiled, several people were indeed a little hungry, and a gust of wind participated, and they were full of tea and rice.

"Where is the cottage?" Qin Xiao stood up: "I have been holding back all afternoon, go to release the water, do you want the young master to go together?" Looking at Chen Xi, Chen Xi looked at him with a cold stare. I immediately thought that this sentence would be a great offense to Master Young Supervisor, and with a smirk, Jiang Xiaochun had already got up and said, "I will take Master Qin over."

"No need, no need." Qin Xiao waved his hand: "Where can I bother Commander Jiang for this kind of thing." He waved to the fat cook and said, "Come on, take me to the cottage."

The cook looked at Jiang Xiaochun, and Jiang Xiaochun frowned and said: "Look at what I am doing? Your lord asked you to lead the way. You still don't listen to your instructions?"

The cook hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Adults and young ones." Instead of going out from the main entrance, they went out from the side entrance of the cafeteria. Qin Xiao followed behind him. As soon as he went out, he saw dozens of spots outside. The big tanks were all covered with lids, and I couldn't help but open a lid, but it was full of water.

"Everything else on the mountain is okay, it’s trouble with drafting water." The cook explained: "There is a lake under the mountain, and the water on the mountain is transported from the lake. After two days, Deputy Commander Chai will take people down the mountain. Water, stored in the water tank."

Qin Xiaodao: "So, the water on the mountain is still very precious?"

"Jin Gui can't talk about it, but I usually save it." The cook saw that Qin Xiao was young, without the slightest authority, and spoke very easy-going, so there was not much pressure in his heart, and he smiled: "People on the mountain, It takes ten days to take a bath, but I feel uncomfortable."

"It is common for the soldiers of the frontiers in the north to not take a bath for a month or two." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "You can take a bath once in ten days, which is much happier than the frontiers." Suddenly he smelled a bad smell. , Raised his hand to cover his nose, under the moonlight, saw a big pond not far away, the cook saw Qin Xiao move, hurriedly said: "My lord, it is a swill pond, leftovers and used water are poured there. Inside, it would be cleaned once in the past three days. Recently, when there was something on the mountain, Deputy Commander Chai was also locked up. Sewage can't be poured here. You can only pour leftovers in it, but it's already full. Just wait. The matter on the mountain has been resolved and I am looking for someone to clean up."

Qin Xiao clutched his nose and approached it, and saw that it was full of leftovers. The closer it was, the more unpleasant it smelled.

"How many people in the disaster can't even eat a bite of porridge, here you are

It's generous, and throw away the rest of the fish. Qin Xiao sighed, "Can't the leftovers be eaten for the second meal?" "

The cook was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to say something, Qin Xiao glanced at him and sneered: "You waste this way. After returning to Beijing, the official will tell the princess."

"My lord, this...this has nothing to do with our kitchen." The cook said with trepidation: "It's all.....It's all ordered by Deputy Commander Chai. He said that the officers and soldiers on the mountain are all princesses. The princess’s people can’t eat the leftovers. The logistics is in charge of the deputy commander Chai. He said it cannot be used, and we dare not defy his orders."

"Why is this?"

The cook was hesitant to speak, but when he saw Qin Xiao's expression on his face, he whispered softly: "My lord, if the little one said it, you...don't say it was the little one."

Qin Xiao said, the cook said in a low voice: "A lot of money is allocated to logistics every year. If the leftovers are eaten next time, it will indeed save a lot of money, but in this way, the food will be eaten every year. At least 40% of the cost of the online payment must be reduced. When the account is reimbursed, the amount of money allocated every year may be reduced in the future."

Qin Xiao suddenly realized that when he awakened the person in his dream.

"My lord, there is the cottage over there." The cook pointed to the front, and Qin Xiao walked over. The cottage was surrounded by stone walls, but the top was covered with thatch. As soon as it got closer, it tasted no better than the swill pool. How much better the side.

The cook smiled embarrassingly: "My lord, this is not like a wealthy compound. Everyone in Nekuri must be here. There are more than two hundred people. The smell is really bad here. In the past, the hut and the swill pool were all three. Cleaned once every day, and now I haven’t cleaned it for half a month."

After Qin Xiao went in, he clutched his nose and glanced at it. It was full of excrement and urine. It was not convenient at all. He rushed out of the hut and saw the cook waiting outside. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's all like that, you should also Clean it up." Asked: "The people in your kitchen clean up the swill pool and the hut?"

The cook straightened his chest slightly and said, "My lord, this kind of work is small. The small one comes from Kyoto. Do you know the Zuixianlou in Kyoto? There is also Huizhen Pavilion? Both of these It’s a famous restaurant in Kyoto. When I was in Kyoto, I used to be chefs in these two restaurants. To be honest, every restaurant in Kyoto begs the villain to cook for them, and the villain cooks dishes. After many dignitaries in Beijing tasted it, they were all thumbs up and full of praise."

"Since it is so popular in Beijing, why are you here?"

"Not just to earn more money." The cook sighed: "Someone found me and asked me to work in Jiangnan. The starting price each month is more than five times that in Kyoto. A year of work is worth living in Beijing. I have been working for five years. Although I can’t leave all year round, but after working for a few years, I will be able to buy a big house when I return to Kyoto, and then the whole family can be reunited."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly and asked, "Of course the other people in the kitchen can't clean the swill pool and the hut?"

"It doesn't need us." The cook smiled, "Some people will go up the mountain to clean up. They have been doing this for many years. Deputy Commander Chai is a budget-conscious person. Those people clean the huts and swill pools. They don't need to give them money or swill. They transported the leftovers in the pond and fed them to pigs and chickens, and they made a lot of money in a year."
