This kind of recruitment brochure is very novel in both content and format.
And the most important thing is that the teachers and students of this college are all women!
The news spread like water dripping into a frying pan and it exploded.
The largest charity house in the capital has adopted nearly a thousand orphans and takes care of about 500 disabled children, and the vast majority of them are girls.
Fortunately for them, under the emperor's rule, wealthy families were willing to do good things. The food and clothing in the charity hall were usually sufficient, and the courtyard they lived in was allocated to them by the imperial court.
There are more boys adopted in the charity, and girls, especially those with disabilities.
After growing up in the shantang, most of them stayed in the shantang to help take care of their younger brothers and sisters. It was not easy to get married.
With Empress Gao's decree, the Shantang manager had no difficulties at all.
She led Cuihua to the hall, allowing Cuihua to have close contact with these children.
Most of these children are under ten years old.
The clothes they wear are also of various sizes, and they look like they were donated by wealthy families.
Moreover, most of them were worn by girls and boys from these wealthy families.
The older one took the younger one with him. When he saw a rich lady coming, his dry little face turned into a smile.
There are a few people with cleft lips who are conditioned to please, and Cuihua feels her heart hurt when she smiles.
She couldn't help but said: "Girls, the emperor's favor is so great. I am the master of the Women's Culinary Institute. I came today with the Queen's decree to select some students. I will teach you cooking skills for free. Once you learn the skills, you will be able to do it in the future." You can support yourself!”
Upon hearing such good news, the older people's eyes lit up.
They thought it was the rich lady who was coming to choose a girl, and the bolder ones asked:
"Madam, how long does it take to learn this craft? Once we learn it, can we join noble families and work as kitchen girls?"
Cuihua was not impatient at all. She explained to these girls gently:
"Students in our college have studied for one year, three years, and five years. Those who have studied best will be recommended by the Master to work as chefs in restaurants, not to sell themselves as maids, and to sign a living contract to be free. You know How much does the best chef in Beijing cost per month?”
"Five taels?"
"No more, make a bold guess?" Cuihua shook her head and encouraged everyone to take bigger steps.
"Twenty taels?" The girl who dared to guess became soft-spoken after telling this number.
"Eighty taels!" Cuihua gave a clear answer.
She really didn't lie to the children. The chef who earned eighty taels this month had his ancestors cook in the imperial kitchen, and he was considered one of the top chefs in the capital.
"Wow, eighty taels! This is enough to buy ten of our little girls. This is so awesome!" "You said, we want to learn well. We are not greedy. We only need to earn eighty taels a month." "How many kilograms of rice can eight taels buy?"
This excited the children so much that the discussion was lively and everyone wanted to go.
When Cuihua saw that the atmosphere was becoming more lively, she did not forget to foreshadow them:
"It's not easy to be a good cook, especially female cooks. Our strength is smaller than that of men. In the future, when you practice basic skills, please don't complain."
"Madam, we are full and strong. Besides, we are not afraid of hardship. We are all willing to go!" A girl with a red birthmark on half her face mustered up the courage to promise Cuihua, her eyes bright and frightening.
Cuihua nodded and said she would wait and see.
Girls over ten years old competed for the positive performance.
When Cuihua asked what they could do, she discovered that the food in this shantang was also taken care of by these grown-up girls, who were basically experts at housework.
Children who grew up in such an environment, and those who were 12 or 13 years old and had no disabilities, were basically sent to wealthy families by the charity in the past to be maids, and most of them signed a death contract.
This is the limit of the Shantang's capabilities. If a wealthy family doesn't have a death contract, they won't buy it!
You can't just leave the house and get married after finally training the girl, right?
And they believe that only if they have the power of life and death over the girls, will the girls be more loyal.
Cuihua didn't come to Daxia for only a year or two. She was also the owner of a servant and expressed her understanding.
The Culinary Academy will accept applicants as long as they meet the age limit for admission, have quick hands and feet, clean up themselves without being sloppy, and have disabilities that do not affect their work.
It only took a whole morning to settle on the person.
Among the one hundred students, there were eight girls with cleft lips, five with birthmarks or strange faces, two with lame legs, and three with six fingers.
In other words, Daxia's medical skills are not good enough. What will this harelip mean to future generations?
I can patch it up so that no trace can be seen, but Daxia, this is an eyesore.
Birthmarks and being ugly are not a problem. As long as your brain is normal, your hands and feet are diligent and you have skills, are you still worried about not being able to find your in-laws?
It’s not like there aren’t some ugly men!
These girls with some flaws have extremely low self-esteem. If you stare at them for a few times, they will lower their heads in a hurry, afraid of other people's strange looks.
But being chosen by the noble lady ignited their hopes again.
If they hadn't been abandoned by their parents, maybe they wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn a craft for free?
Thinking about it this way, I don't seem to be so resentful anymore.
The liveliest thing is the girls.
More than two hundred boys, some young, had tears in their eyes. They were actually disliked!
They dare not be angry with the lady, they are angry with themselves.
Why aren't they girls?
But isn’t a chef a man’s assistant?
The numb claws of green flowers can't stand the grievance of a child whose tears are half-shed:
"This time, let the sisters learn first. When they learn it, they can work in the restaurant and come back to teach you in the evening.
In the past few years, you should first master the basic skills in the charity hall. When you grow up, you can work as a cook in a restaurant.
Worst of all, there are many snack courses in our school. You can earn dozens of taels a year by opening a noodle shop! "
The boys' eyes were wide open. Is this still allowed?
