This brother had cultivated his skills of sarcasm. As for this arrogant and pedantic man, he had only passed by to take a look. He did not know about Ye Lulu’s shop at all. When he heard this, his vision darkened and he almost fainted on the spot.
Scholars respected and feared the imperial family the most. Now, he was told that the youngest prince had eaten here!
This… this…
The man who had spoken such vicious words almost fainted. This person retreated in defeat, but everyone was still discussing the recruitment notice. In the entire
Shang dynasty, there were indeed almost no restaurants that recruited women as chefs. “How would women have so much strength to be a chef? As a chef, she has to cook. She even has to stand in front of the stove for hours.” “Have you forgotten about the original lady boss again? The lady boss controls everything.”
That person did not remember and closed his mouth silently. “However, this restaurant is indeed novel. I’ve never seen anyone hire women.” “I wonder if there will really be women coming to work?”
When Ye Lulu wrote the recruitment notice, she had thought about it and deliberately wrote both men and women on it. In the modern era, it was relatively equal between men and women. Furthermore, due to the social environment, very few workers in ancient shops knew how to hire women. Everyone subconsciously excluded women and felt that women were not capable enough to take on the job. Perhaps, they felt that women had to stay at home to take care of their family matters.
Ye Lulu couldn’t do much, but she could give women another chance. Furthermore, she wanted everyone to see the notice and create a commotion so that everyone knew that women could be hired.
As to whether a woman could be a chef or if a woman’s stamina was sufficient, Ye Lulu did not even need to think about it. There were differences in the bodies and strength between men and women, but there could be a woman with extraordinary stamina, even she could do it barely. Who said that there might not be such a person?
As expected, as soon as the recruitment notice was out, everyone was in an uproar.
Apart from that, there were also people discussing. “You have to be strong. This is understandable. Chefs have a tough life. However, you have to be clean and there can’t be mud under your fingernails?” “You have to have good eyesight… If hair falls into the pot, you have to see it clearly. Haha, that’s strange. I’ve never seen such a request in other restaurants or wine shops.” “Linhe Zhai Xing Lou has always been special in everything. This is the first time I’ve seen such a recruitment notice.”
Everyone discussed enthusiastically the recruitment request. Another person exclaimed. “Twenty taels! Did you see that?! Linhe Zhai Xing Lou is hiring a chef, and they’re giving twenty taels of silver a month!” At this moment, a poor farmer held his face and was so shocked that he lost his expression. “Why didn’t I learn to be a chef?!”
The farmer shouted.
When everyone saw the monthly salary, they exploded with excitement. It was not that they were shocked. In Yuan City, the chefs in the top restaurants were all famous in the dynasty. Their monthly salaries were extremely high. It could be more than a few hundred taels. After all, there were very few famous chefs. In a big restaurant, the most important thing was the dishes cooked by the chef.
However, other than such top-notch big restaurants… for ordinary chefs, ten taels of silver a month was considered very high in other medium-sized restaurants.
After all, the merchants were not as rich as people imagined..
