The new era strikes

Chapter 680 Opportunity
Lu Tian was a little depressed every day, and it lasted for a week, and he finally couldn't help it, he couldn't be like this, he couldn't just be a domestic slave who washed dishes.

If this was in Huaxia, he could still quit his job, but this is a different world, unless he doesn't want to live, otherwise he can't violate the order from above.

If you want to escape from here, you still have to start from above and change your situation little by little.

In the Liu Mansion, all those who signed the contract of sale were domestic slaves. However, in order to motivate the domestic slaves, there was naturally an incentive system.

First of all, domestic slaves also have grades, which are divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class.

The status is different, and the natural treatment is also different. Among them, the low-level domestic slaves can only eat rough tea and light food, and they have ten cash a month. For a tael of silver, you can have your own room.

Brother Zeng, who arranged for me last time, has some strength and is the family's guard, so he is a high-class domestic slave who also manages some chores, and his status is similar to that of ordinary people.

Lu Tian felt that if he wanted to change his situation, he still had to establish a good relationship with this brother Zeng.

But the problem before him is that he has no money. After half a month of observation, he roughly distinguishes that the purchasing power of a penny in this world is ten yuan in China, and his ten penny a month is only equivalent to 100 yuan. Yuan.

But now, it was still a month away, and he felt that it was too long to wait for the money.

"I still have to find a way to make some money, but I'm just a low-class domestic slave, and I can't go out at all."

Lu Tian's eyes were thoughtful, and his head didn't turn around. He knew from Wen's mother that only middle-class servants have the opportunity to leave the house, and high-class servants can come and go freely. If he goes out rashly now, if someone finds out, he may be killed Killed.

"We can only find a way from within." Lu Tian thought in his heart, there are two main channels for promotion in this Liu Mansion, namely seniority and merit.

Qualifications are very simple, as long as you do things well and work for a certain period of time, you can be promoted. It takes about three years from the lower to the middle level, and ten years to the upper level.

The credit is more general, and it is easy to be promoted by being appreciated by the Liu family. If not, making special contributions to the Liu family, such as catching thieves and protecting the master, is also credit.

What Lu Tian wanted was credit, but he stayed here to wash the dishes, and Liu's family couldn't see him every day, so he had almost no chance to make meritorious deeds, so he had to find a way to get out of here.

Originally, Brother Zeng said that he would arrange it after a while, but now the other party obviously forgot, and he didn't have much money, so it was really difficult to handle.

Fortunately, in the kitchen, he could at least have enough food, but the food was not to his liking, mainly because it was too bland.

He found that the dishes here are very light, unlike the dishes he ate in his previous life, with all kinds of heavy flavors.

"It would be nice to have a bowl of braised pork." Lu Tian swallowed, feeling a little nostalgic for the delicacies he had eaten.

At this time, a few maids came in with leftovers in their hands, Lu Tian looked and found that many of them hadn't moved.

One of the most beautiful and best-dressed maids said: "Lao Jiang, the second miss doesn't want to eat these, so I ask you to change the dishes."

Lao Jiang came over obsequiously, and said carefully: "Xiao Ling, I don't know what the second lady wants to eat, the old man will do it."

The maid Xiao Ling frowned: "Second Miss said she didn't want to eat the usual dishes, and asked if you have any special dishes. Second Miss wants to eat something different."

"This..." Lao Jiang is a local, and he usually cooks local dishes. These second ladies have basically eaten them, and he can't come up with any good dishes.

He turned to look at the others: "Do you have any special dishes, take one out and have a look!"

The cooks all looked at each other in blank dismay. They were in the same situation as Lao Jiang. They had all come to Liu's Mansion for more than ten years, and they had cooked all the dishes they could cook. They really didn't have any new dishes.

The maid Xiaoling's face turned cold: "Why, I can't even make a dish, what use are you for?"

When she scolded her, many people shrank their necks. This second young lady is called a personal maid, and her status is comparable to that of a steward, so they can't violate it at all.

The maid Xiao Ling looked at the others, but as soon as she looked away, those people lowered their heads, making her angry and wanting to scold again.

Suddenly, a weak voice sounded: "Well, there is a dish in my hometown, the second lady may like it."

Swish!

In an instant, many eyes stared at it, and found that it was a dishwashing boy, many people didn't care.

The maid Xiao Ling frowned again, and looked at him coldly: "Do you know how to cook?"

"know a bit."

Lu Tian felt that this was his opportunity, and he was not humble. He really didn't have much cooking skills, but he could still cook a few home-cooked dishes.

The maid Xiao Ling looked at Lao Jiang again: "What's going on with him, I haven't seen him before."

"Xiao Ling, he is a beggar rescued by Second Miss on the street, and he was arranged to wash dishes at our place."

"A beggar?" The maid Xiaoling's eyes flashed with contempt, and she was a little disbelieving: "He can cook?"

"This, the old man doesn't know, why don't you let him try." Lao Jiang suggested, no matter whether Lu Tian can do it or not, he will no longer be responsible, and Lu Tian is the one who is unlucky.

The maid Xiaoling pondered for a while, thinking that the others couldn't bring anything out, so she could only say, "Let's give you a chance, but the ugly words are up front. If you mess up, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"Of course!" Lu Tian could only gamble, betting that the second lady thinks his cooking is delicious.

"Old Jiang, give him a seat. After two quarters of an hour, I'll come over to pick up the food."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ling took the other maids and turned to leave.

"Xiaotian, come to my place. You can use the ingredients here as you like, and they will listen to you. Don't mess it up." Lao Jiang stepped aside to make room for Lu Tian, ​​and offered to help Lu Tian. Things in the kitchen must be done well. .

"Thank you!" Lu Tian's face was serious, and he was not polite: "Lao Luo, help me cut this piece of meat into pieces, Lao Li give me some..."

In this short period of time, Lu Tian has basically understood the meat, vegetables, and condiments here. Although many of them have different names, their functions are very similar. It is no problem for him to make authentic dishes.

This time, what he wants to do is braised pork, because Liu Feiyan is a woman, he chooses thinner streaky pork to ensure that the braised pork is not greasy.

After the meat is cut, blanch it with boiling water, then fry it in the old way for a while, add the dark soy sauce from this world, add water to boil, then add a sugar similar to brown sugar, to save time, stew it over medium heat, The unique fragrance came out, making Lao Jiang and the others twitch their noses curiously.
