That standard is comparable to what Xin Qiji saw when he was eating pot rice in the army.
It is very strict to restrict officials and post managers from seeking personal gain by specifying the weight of a dish and the amount of ingredients.
In order to further save money, the Ministry of Finance has also set up a post management department. Every official road and post keeps a record of who the manager is and who the staff are.
In addition, the department is also responsible for auditing the financial expenditures of each post, and strives to calculate every account in place. However, if something goes wrong, the post managers will face serious scrutiny.
When Xin Qiji was on a business trip, there were three dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetable, one egg dish, and the last dish, broth, nutritious noodles.
According to their respective levels, more officials also have two dishes, one soup and one dish, one soup, which is always fishy.
Of course, the amount of food is not large, but the food is full.
But the most difficult thing for business officials is the taste of food.
Chapter 645 Xin Qiji doesn’t feel very picky about his taste buds at all.
It’s reasonable to say that officials have been on a long-distance business trip, and they are so tired that their bones will fall apart. At that time, they will definitely want to eat something hot and delicious, and then take a down-to-earth sleep to regain their vitality.
Of course, so did the imperial court. Officials considered it.
The food you want to catch is definitely hot and won’t leave you without food.
Isn’t it? The food is hot, but the taste … is true. It’s a long story.
I’m good at cooking, but fortunately I can eat a satisfying meal. I snore a delicious meal and go to bed when I’m full.
This is of course the best, but if you are unlucky, the cooking skills are just so-so, and the food you eat in your mouth does not meet your psychological expectations, you will be so angry!
But if you don’t eat, you won’t have to eat. Generally, you won’t be too close to the city. If you don’t eat, you have to go hungry. You can also frown and fill your stomach to deal with it.
And then I was in a bad mood
Of course, if you want to improve your life and eat well, there is no problem, but it belongs to your own category.
The imperial court is in charge of rice and food, and this category is absolutely public funds. Eating, drinking and accommodation don’t cost you money.
But the court no matter how to improve.
If you want to improve, you must arrive at your destination and complete this issue on time. How do you want to improve? It is your own business to spend your own money, and the court will not interfere.
Officials also have the freedom to profit.
In any case, it’s certainly not as generous as Song Ting’s, but it’s also good that the salary base of the Great Dynasty can directly discount the expenses rather than many things by giving money.
In the past dynasties, some rare things were counted as salaries, or there were some financial difficulties for a while or some treasures could not be consumed, so the official salaries were discounted.
For senior bureaucrats, of course, nothing is a icing on the cake. They like these palace luxuries very much.
But it’s terrible for those petty officials who live on their salaries.
These luxuries can’t be eaten directly at home, and they have to find a place to recycle these rare things and exchange them for money to buy food and have a lot of steps in daily life for no reason.
Moreover, the channels for purchasing these luxuries are limited. Generally speaking, some shops will buy these luxuries. Sometimes, some small officials even have to face malicious underpricing and resist the pressure.
Su Yonglin’s big dynasty was not like this. The main body of salary was to spend money and hard currency for nothing, so that all officials and petty officials were treated equally.
Besides money, the salary of the dynasty also has some daily benefits.
For example, oil, rice, noodles, meat, tea and coal are distributed to cloth, silk, candles, spices, etc. on a quarterly basis, and the quality is good
Generally speaking, it is no problem for the officials and officials of the great dynasty to live on the basis of imperial grain when their salaries are prominent.
After reaching a certain level, the foundation is equal to the daily life without money and close to the net income, but you can also spend money at will to improve your life.
All officials and officials are satisfied with their current salary and life.
I really can’t stand going out on business. I have to go through the town and I can go out without delay. I can’t eat and go out to improve my life. I have no money.
However, if you don’t eat, you have to spend money to eat this kind of thing. Most middle-level and grassroots officials still can’t do it.
Most of them are not as rich as senior officials and can take advantage of it. Of course, they still want to take advantage of it, so they begin to learn and explore.
At first, they would take some cakes with them to fill their stomachs. Later, they began to learn which official road and which post-office chef cooked delicious food, and they wrote it down when they met foreign officials on business trips.
These messages are often remembered by a small official who travels frequently and helps each other.
In this way, in just a few months, those officials who often travel abroad have figured out that the quality of food in the post offices is relatively high at present.
The post offices have a clear understanding of the location and distribution, and they will calculate the route and time before going on a business trip, or hurry or stroll around to pick out food spots and arrive at those good post offices.
In this way, when you arrive at the post office, you can eat the food prepared by those chefs who are good at cooking.
It’s more comfortable to eat and drink, and it’s still very satisfying to sleep.
Xin Qiji is a senior central official who doesn’t usually travel on business trips. This kind of thing may not happen once a year. There is no rigid demand for this aspect, so I don’t know that officials who travel frequently eat, drink and have a good magic weapon.
So this time, he stepped on a lot of thunder in the south, and stayed in six posts along the way. All three posts gave him a frown and were annoyed.
I came here after a rough ride, but I didn’t ride a horse. When I got to the post, I thought about eating something hot and delicious, but the food was so unsatisfactory.
To be honest, Xin Qiji doesn’t feel that he has done anything special or difficult to serve at all.
During the war years, he just followed everyone to eat the big pot of rice in the army. He ate it in a big pot and squatted down to eat it. He didn’t think anything was bad and delicious.
It is common for him to have no time to eat on the way to March, and he has to eat some dry food or starve for a full meal. He has never complained.
He really thinks that the old cooks in the army are better than the chefs in the restaurants outside.
Since joining the Guangfu Army, he has left behind the rich life in childhood and adolescence, and he has also abandoned the fine diet and gorgeous dishes.
He has neve been a man who can’t stand suffering.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, his life was stable, and his salary was very high. However, his only hobby of insisting that simple living would not build a house or buy one was to buy one.
Or do you have any life experiences that you will write poems about?
Or we can buy some ingredients on Mumu Day and meet friends during the war to go out for picnics, parties, drinks, barbecues, chats and reminisces about the hard life in the past.
In daily life, Xin Qiji is also on par with Su Yonglin. He doesn’t eat delicacies, and he doesn’t pursue expensive ingredients. Except for big fish and big meat on holidays, he can make a set of luxuries. Daily meals can be made with meat and soup.
Xin Qiji doesn’t think his taste buds are picky at all.
However, the level of the three post chefs made him prepare to submit an application to the post management department for them to control the food standard of a post.
I don’t ask you to be delicious, but you’re so little, right?
Either it’s salty and almost didn’t spit it out after eating it, or the salt is just like precious spices, and it’s just a little tasteless.
The cooking level of individual chefs is simply a waste of such good ingredients 2.
