Zhang Hulan said: "Tun Chengxie has good reputation and is down-to-earth. But he has some relationship with my family. His daughter is engaged to my nephew."
Wu Bangtai was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a small matter, as long as the person is okay."
"Don't worry about this, Uncle Wu. Xie Tuncheng thinks there is no problem with what he does. He accompanied me throughout the process of cultivating hybrid rice. He knows all the steps and things that need to be paid attention to."
Wu Bangtai nodded, "Okay, then let's choose him."
Zhang Hulan asked again: "Uncle Wu, that Xie Xiaoman who followed me, is he telling me about the Ministry of Revenue, or?"
"Follow you. She was originally arranged for you."
"good!"
Zhang Hulan left the Ministry of Revenue and returned to the village, then called Xie Bangwen to his office.
Zhang Hulan said, "Master Xie, I am going to take up a post in the Ministry of Revenue. I recommend you to take over the position of the Tunjian."
Xie Bangwen's face immediately showed joy, "Then congratulations, Master Zhang!"
Zhang Hulan also smiled, "Congratulations!"
Xie Bangwen bowed again and said, "Thank you, Master Zhang, for your support!"
Xie Xiaoman was also happy because her father got a promotion.
Zhang Hulan said: "Master Xie, you don't have to thank me. I recommended you not because of your relationship with my family, but because of your ability.
From now on, all matters in the village will be handed over to you.
Potatoes, peppers, etc. need to be cultivated in large quantities and kept as seeds, and then distributed to the people in various places as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Master Zhang. I will do my best to complete the task."
Xie Xiaoman asked, "Sir, what about me?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Do you want to continue with me, or stay here?"
"Of course I'll follow the adults." Xie Xiaoman replied immediately.
"Then come with me to the Ministry of Revenue."
"Thank you, sir!" Xie Xiaoman was very happy. From now on, she would be an official clerk of the Ministry of Revenue.
Zhang Hulan handed over the affairs of the village to Xie Bangwen, and then took Xie Xiaoman to the Ministry of Revenue to take up the post.
Ye Hongyun heard that Zhang Hulan had been promoted, and that his rank was directly promoted to the second rank, which made her extremely envious.
Ye Hongyun came to Zhang Hulan's house to congratulate her. She said, "Hulan, how about you find me a job?"
Zhang Hulan turned over Bai Yin'er and asked, "Do you feel that your life is too leisurely?"
Ye Hongyun covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, I have been thinking about becoming an official. And I am already a second-rank lady. I rely on my old Wu. I don't know if there is any hope that he can get me a second-rank imperial decree in this life."
Zhang Hulan squinted her eyes, "Why, are you here to show off that you have a man?"
Ye Hongyun's eyes suddenly turned, and he asked in a low voice: "Hu Lan, I heard that you like women, is it true?"
Then Ye Hongyun looked surprised, "Oh, you are not interested in me, are you?"
Zhang Hulan was too lazy to pay attention to this woman Ye Hongyun.
Ye Hongyun then stopped joking and said, "I came here this time to ask you if you have any new dishes. Restaurants need to introduce new dishes from time to time."
"Is business bad now?" Zhang Hulan hadn't been to the restaurant for a while. Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi went there every day, but Zhang Hulan didn't care much about the restaurant.
Ye Hongyun said: "Business is pretty good, I just want to come up with some new dishes to attract more customers."
Zhang Hulan thought for a moment and asked, "Can you buy beef regularly?"
Ye Hongyun nodded, "As long as you want to get it, you can definitely get it."
Zhang Hulan said, "Then you have to make sure it's done first. Otherwise, when it's done, customers will come to eat it, but you won't be able to provide beef. I still have more than a dozen old cows at home. They probably won't be able to pull the ground in the next year or two. We can transport them here when the time comes."
Ye Hongyun asked: "What dish are you going to make? Make it first so I can taste it."
"Let's do it when I'm on leave."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you then!"
Zhang Hulan told Ye Hongyun about the kitchen utensils and tableware she needed to make, and then Ye Hongyun left.
…
When Zhang Hulan took up his post in the Ministry of Revenue, his main job was to manage some household registration matters and check some tax accounts, which were basically related to account books.
Getting up was not difficult at all for Zhang Hulan. Although she had little education, the mathematics in later generations was much more advanced than that here, so checking the accounts was not too easy.
However, Zhang Hulan still humbly asked for advice, and the official who taught her only taught her once, and Zhang Hulan learned everything. Moreover, she checked the accounts quickly and accurately.
After a few days, it was the day off, and Zhang Hulan went to the restaurant to teach the chef how to make steak.
Making steak is very simple. The main thing is to select the right beef, pat it, and marinate it with salt and black pepper.
Zhang Hulan prepared a steak, cut a small piece and fed it to Ye Hongyun, "Come on, be good, open your mouth."
Ye Hongyun felt embarrassed because of what Zhang Hulan did to her.
"Don't do this, I don't like women..."
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as I like you."
Zhang Hulan stuffed the meat into Ye Hongyun's mouth and said, "Try it and see if it tastes good. If you like it, how about I cook it for you every day in the future?"
As Zhang Hulan spoke, she touched Ye Hongyun's face. Ye Hongyun was startled and quickly ran away.
"You, don't mess around..."
Zhang Hulan laughed loudly, "You little brat, you dare to tease me? I'll teach you a lesson."
Ye Hongyun knew that Zhang Hulan had played a trick on her and glared at her.
But the beef in her mouth tasted really good, tender and juicy, and the texture was completely different from the beef she had eaten before.
Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyue also thought it was delicious after tasting it.
