Forget it! Supervisor Jiang quickly shouted for them to stop. He was not in the mood to joke, only afraid. He was worried that he would anger the eight kings and lose his job in the imperial kitchen.
Of course, he was more attached to Xiao Qin and Xiao Qian's bodies. Without a supervisor to flaunt himself, what was he in the eyes of girls?
Brother Jiang was so anxious! Something urgent? Jiang Lai asked with a smile. They were used to freedom, and even when they talked, they had a nonchalant tone.
Yes, yes! Supervisor Jiang nodded and ordered, hurry! Quickly prepare the food. It's the same as the eight kings 'standard, the same amount.
When he said this, he paused for a moment and remembered something. He forgot to ask Guard Ah Qing how many guards the eight kings had brought over.
How could he determine the amount of food they ate? He muttered in his heart.
Brother Jiang! Who should I give it to? Jiang Lai saw that Supervisor Jiang was deep in thought and was puzzled. He asked.
For the guards of the eight kings to eat! Supervisor Jiang glared at him and said,"But I forgot to ask for the number of people. What should I do?"
Humph! Jiang Lai snorted lightly. He didn't care about a few guards. Want to live the life of a prince? A hint of contempt grew in his heart.
Why? Supervisor Jiang heard him snort and thought that he knew what was going on.
Ask them! Jiang Lai said lightly.
Where would he find the time to ask? "We've already delayed everyone's meal. They're hungry and only want to eat us." Supervisor Jiang smiled bitterly and coldly.
That was easy! Just estimate the number of people! The imperial guards have also eaten the rewards of the eight kings before. I have records here, so just check! Jiang Lai seemed to have a plan in mind.
Supervisor Jiang was overjoyed. You did a good job and helped a lot at the critical moment. Without an exact number, I can't give you more or less!
Sigh! Jiang Lai was about to turn around and look for the dining records of the eight kings when he heard Manager Jiang's last sentence. He hurriedly shouted.
It was better to have less than more!
"We can't be too harsh on the subordinates of the eight kings. It's best not to attack them. We'll just treat it as a loss." Supervisor Jiang smiled and gave Jiang Lai some advice.
Supervisor Jiang and Jiang Lai had cut off all production activities in the imperial kitchen, including the purchase of ingredients. They had used the method of buying and selling less to earn a lot of silver.
The so-called less purchase was to purchase as few ingredients as possible. However, the money and grain that the palace's accounting room should allocate to the imperial kitchen every month was not less than one cent per grain of rice.
Supervisor Jiang purchased less food ingredients, so he saved money and food. He exchanged them into silver and stuffed them into his pocket.
The so-called less out meant that when they ate in the palace, each dish and each type of food was not provided in full. If they reduced it slightly, it would not be discovered.
Thus, over time, Supervisor Jiang and the others brought in another stable income.
Entering and leaving less was the secret to accumulating wealth in the imperial kitchen. In the entire imperial kitchen, there were some prominent figures who specifically referred to the heads of various departments. Some of the close relationships were all benefited.
Of course, Manager Jiang was the biggest beneficiary. However, he needed to spend extra money to get in touch with the various departments in the palace.
An Fu was the Emperor's favorite person. Supervisor Jiang needed to curry favor with him. Once there was trouble, the Emperor's people could replace him with the Minister of Justice with just a word.
There was also a group of people in the accounting department of the palace. If they did not pay, they would find an excuse to deduct the various funds of the imperial kitchen or deliberately default.
They were all people with royal connections, so Supervisor Jiang did not dare to provoke them.
There were still many relationships between departments that he needed to accommodate. Without the smoothness of money, Supervisor Jiang would not be a supervisor.
Thus, the money he earned was spent very quickly.
Xiao Qin and Xiao Qian were beautiful girls, but they were also money-burning masters. In the face of love, he had no choice but to give up money.
A beautiful person was like a money printing machine. She could easily earn other people's hard-earned money.
Of course, Supervisor Jiang didn't need to sweat and bleed to earn money, so it seemed easy. However, he was afraid that if he exposed the way he earned money, the emperor would be furious, and he would be beheaded.
From the looks of it, Supervisor Jiang's money was simply exchanged for his life.
"I'll go check the records," Jiang said.
The last time the eight kings ate, they rewarded a group of guards with food. Just check the number of people! Jiang Lai winked at Supervisor Jiang.
When it came to money, everyone had a tacit understanding in their hearts.
Therefore, Jiang Lai ran back to the place where the vegetables were placed. It was a small room that belonged to the recording room where the vegetables were placed.
He took out the dining register exclusive to the eight kings and flipped through a few pages to find out the number of guards who had eaten last time.
Supervisor Jiang stood at the door of the kitchen and waited for Jiang Lai to speak. A chef came over from the corridor beside him. When he saw Supervisor Jiang, he quickly smiled and bowed his head.
Supervisor Jiang did not know him, so he could only smile. He wanted to wait for him to greet him and then respond.
However, this chef was relatively timid. When he saw the highest leader of the imperial kitchen, he was frightened and did not dare to speak. He only lowered his head and bowed, walking over like a cat.
Supervisor Jiang turned his head and looked at his back. He felt that he was being looked down upon.
What the f * ck! Seeing that I didn't speak! Do you think I'm a tiger? He cursed under his breath. He had an urge to catch up to that chef, shout at him to stop, and fiercely scold him. It would be best if he could kick him twice before he would be discouraged.
However, when he thought about how most chefs came from poor families, he suppressed the anger in his heart and sneered.
They were all bitter people! he called out softly.
Yes, yes! We are all bitter people! Jiang Lai had already walked out and was standing in front of him, just in time to hear him speak.
Are you suffering? Supervisor Jiang couldn't help but get angry when he heard his reply.
That's right! We are all poor people. Compared to the royal family, our lives are nothing. Jiang Lai widened his eyes, not worried that he would say something wrong.
When Supervisor Jiang heard him mention us, his heart resonated slightly. He was no longer angry and snorted.
However, he also felt that it was inappropriate. He seemed to have become a sinner and was disrespectful to the emperor.
Thus, he lectured Jiang Lai. How can we, lowly people, compare to the Emperor? Even the country belongs to the emperor. You and I should be satisfied!
Tell me the number of people! He then called for Jiang.
Oh! Jiang Lai seemed to have just woken up. Supervisor Jiang's words brought him back to reality.
That's right! Without the emperor's favor, how could he and Supervisor Jiang have such an opportunity to make a fortune?
Last time, there were 20 guards. This time, it shouldn't exceed the number of guards last time. Jiang Lai looked into Supervisor Jiang's eyes and spoke.
Director Jiang ordered the dishes to be served according to the standard of 30 people.
Yes, yes! Jiang Lai quickly agreed and turned to leave.
Remember! Enough weight! A little more! he added.
It was already good enough to have enough, how could he have more? Jiang Lai was not convinced and replied.
Bastard! Supervisor Jiang couldn't help but curse.
Ah! Jiang Lai was slightly surprised.
Supervisor Jiang wanted to continue speaking. It seemed that he wanted to explain, but he stopped and turned around.
No one was there. Everyone was busy in the kitchen! Jiang Lai understood what he meant. Afraid that the walls had ears, he quickly comforted him in a low voice.
Oh! Supervisor Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and said softly," You don't understand the market for power. You must not provoke the eight kings. Even if you provoke the emperor, you must not offend the eight kings at all."
What? Jiang Lai's eyes widened. He didn't understand what Supervisor Jiang was saying.
