Chapter 142

Otherwise, if they stood firmly, it would be difficult to get the three women.

Jia Hui said he hoped and appreciated their self-reliance and self-improvement.

In reality, he was thinking inside.

Appreciation is appreciation, but I want them to be my women, raised by me, enjoying themselves, and controlled by me.

Taking her as a cook.

I can eat it every morning and evening.

In short, awesome!

Hearing Sun Sanniang ask about the salary as soon as she opened her mouth.

Jia Hui didn't feel anything wrong.

After all, he was a wage earner before.

Instead, he appreciated Sanniang's character of treating people sincerely, enduring hardship, and doing everything realistically.

So Jia Hui didn't play tricks and said directly: "Ten taels of silver a month, how about that?"

"Ten taels!"

Xiren and Qingwen exclaimed first!

They were now first-class maids.

The salary was already the top tier among maids.

A monthly salary of one tael was already extremely high!

Working for ten months was enough to cover the food and drink expenses of a family of nine for a whole year!

And as for a cook, it was a high salary.

However, it wouldn't be much higher than a first-class maid.

It was just better than the common people struggling on the poverty line outside.

The highest monthly salary in the entire Rongguo mansion was Jia Mu and Madam Wang, which was only twenty taels of silver a month.

Decreasing level by level, Li Wan was ten taels, Wang Xifeng was three taels, and Baoyu and the sisters were two taels.

Therefore.

The salary of a cook was just an ordinary manager.

It was absolutely impossible to exceed these masters.

The salary was about one tael or so.

Jia Hui was directly increasing it tenfold!

Therefore, Xiren and Qingwen couldn't help but be shocked and jealous.

Sun Sanniang, Zhao Paner, and Song Yinzhang were also very shocked.

"Ten taels!"

Zhao Paner and Song Yinzhang looked at each other, both feeling that this salary was too exaggerated.

Sun Sanniang looked at Jia Hui strangely.

Thinking wildly in her heart.

"Marquis, is there any other meaning?"

She was confident in her culinary skills.

However, she felt that she could get two or three taels of silver.

A senior cook, cooking deliciously, isn't that price too much?

However, ten taels.

She really didn't dare to think about it.

And you have to know that the monthly salary for a cook's job is just one part.

There are other ways to make money from inside.

Still taking the neighboring Rongguo mansion as an example.

The inner kitchen of the Grand View Garden was set up in the 51st chapter, at the suggestion of Wang Xifeng, to facilitate the sisters' dining, in five large rooms at the back garden gate of the Grand View Garden.

In the 60th chapter, Liu Sao of the inner kitchen appeared.

Liu Sao originally worked in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard, and after the inner kitchen was set up, she was transferred there.

The inner kitchen didn't serve many people; initially, Wang Xifeng only arranged two cook women.

Others were the night-watch women who originally belonged to these rooms, so although Liu Sao was the general manager, she didn't have many people under her.

But don't look at this inner kitchen as inconspicuous, it had some power that could be utilized.

At that time, when Wang Xifeng set it up, she made the inner kitchen independently accounted.

Besides moving the sisters' portions to the inner kitchen, other things, money, and all items could be drawn from the general manager's room, and there were also wild game such as pheasants, roe deer, and roe deer supplied from time to time.

In the 61st chapter, Liu Sao said that the inner kitchen managed the meals of "forty or fifty people, including young ladies and sisters," so the monthly income and expenditure items were not small.

The portions of vegetables, money, and goods were all collected according to the number of people, and whatever was used or not used went into the inner kitchen. The menu was designed by Liu Sao herself, not like Jia Mu's water card ordering.

She could design the menu herself, secretly reduce the use of materials, and thus earn extra money from inside and outside.

I mentioned the issue of food differences between Xichun and the others before.

The kitchen looks at people and serves dishes.

Divided into three, six, and nine grades, Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai, and the three springs are the top-level masters, and they must be served well.

Especially Baoyu, who is the master of masters.

Like Yingchun, who is wooden and has no desires, and is a young lady in Jia She's mansion; Xichun, who is cold in mouth and heart, but only seeks self-salvation, and is a person in the Ningguo mansion; Lin Daiyu, who is lonely and arrogant, living under someone else's roof, and will not cause controversy because of food problems.

These three.

If you are good to them, they won't appreciate it, and if you are bad to them, it's not justified, so it's just average.

Then there are Zhao Yiniang, Jia Huan, and these unfavored ones, which are secondary.

The money saved here naturally was shared by the people in the kitchen.

But saving a little here.

Adding it up, a cook would share at most one tael of silver a month.

Therefore, in general.

It was absolutely not as amazing as the ten taels Jia Hui gave.

Naturally, it was hard for Sun Sanniang not to think wildly.

But she really guessed it right!

Jia Hui was willing to spend money to keep her.

And Jia Hui knew that waiting for her to open a restaurant, these ten taels of silver wouldn't be a problem.

Just the reward money would be enough in a month.

So giving the other party this price was completely worth it.

Just because of this top-level culinary skill.

Which modern five-star chef doesn't have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands or millions.

Jia Hui even felt he gave too little.

Not to mention that the other party was also the beautiful and kind Sanniang.

If it weren't for not being able to treat one differently from another.

He would have been willing to give a monthly salary of one hundred taels.

"Done!"

Without much hesitation, Sanniang agreed immediately.

Not agreeing would be a fool.

Ten taels is equivalent to a modern monthly salary of 100,000 yuan.

Not doing it would be a fool.

She didn't refuse coyly either.

She believed that with her culinary skills, as long as she did her best. ===== CHAPTER 143 =====
