- I know how to cook, and my cooking skills are pretty good.
With such manpower, Wang Shan really has two such candidates.
Therefore, he immediately told Zhao Hongyu.
As long as there are people like this, Zhao Hongyu will not be too demanding.
¡°Besides, it¡¯s a piece of cake to fool these Europeans who have never experienced delicious food.
Europeans of this era have never seen Chinese delicacies.
Therefore, he is not afraid of showing any signs of weakness.
Besides, the two people Wang Shan mentioned are indeed genuine cooks.
You know, before these two guys were cultivated, they worked in small restaurants in the urban-rural fringe.
I don¡¯t dare to say anything else. It¡¯s not a problem to just make four dishes and one soup.
For Europeans, even ordinary dishes from later generations of China are definitely delicious, right?
"Your Highness, I have two chefs here, but I can't give them to you. Because they are all free agents, you can only hire them. As long as you give them enough salary, I think they are willing to work for you."
After getting Wang Shan¡¯s reply, Zhao Hongyu turned to little Louis and said.
Yes, giving away Chinese germline genetic people as slaves is something Zhao Hongyu cannot do.
It would be okay if it were another race.
Although Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t say it, in his heart he is also an admirer of the Great China strain.
Although he is not as radical as Song Hu, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie, he also has his bottom line.
Little Louis was very happy when he heard this, and it was good for him to be able to hire him.
Therefore, he set his sights on his mother, Mary, hoping to get her permission.
Who made the current financial power rest in the hands of mother Mary?
Although little Louis is the crown prince, he still has to look at his mother¡¯s face when spending money.
As the saying goes, if you have no money in your pocket, you have no confidence.
In fact, Mary also likes American food. Since she came to the manor and tasted these foods, she has also fallen in love with this kind of food that is different from European flavors and can be enjoyed by people.
So, when she felt the pleading look on her son's head, she nodded and agreed.
¡°Oh, great, I can eat this delicious food every day in the future.¡±
When little Louis saw his mother nodding in agreement, he cheered happily.
"Don't be happy so early. After we have a chef, we don't have American ingredients here, right?" After all, she was looking at the problem further than Little Louis. Marie's words made Little Louis wilt.
Yes, mother is right.
What¡¯s the use of just having a cook? There are no ingredients from America here.
Hearing what Mary said, Zhao Hongyu laughed.
"Her Royal Highness, wait until the Duke of Orleans is resolved and our follow-up cooperation begins. I can charter Manhattan to open up a trading share of ingredients for the royal family. Then there will be no problem."
For Zhao Hongyu, this is simply a trivial matter.
¡°The meaning of what he said to Mary is that as long as we continue to cooperate, it will not be difficult at all to expand France¡¯s trade share in the Americas in the future.
Although he is talking about the trade share of food ingredients, there are many types of food ingredients.
Food, spices, and more.
How could Mary not understand the meaning of this?
Therefore, she smiled at Zhao Hongyu knowingly and nodded.
"We will hire chefs with a salary of fifteen gold livres a month, and they will become head chefs. I think they should be satisfied with this arrangement, right?"
Mary was in a good mood and offered a very high salary.
Satisfied, of course I am.
The salary of fifteen gold livres is definitely a high salary in France.
"This money is enough to rent a three-story villa in the dirty and smelly city of Paris, hire a dozen servants and keep a mistress. It is more than enough.
You must know that the salary of a maid in France today, if it includes food and accommodation, is only the price of three silver livres a month.
A silver livre is enough to cover three meals a day in a small hotel, with two dishes and one soup for ten days.
And one gold livre can be exchanged for thirteen silver livres, so fifteen livres.What a high standard Rifre has.
Even a small nobleman in France may not have so much income in a month.
Of course, after solving the Duke of Orleans, Mary will annex the territory of the Duke of Orleans. By then, the royal family's income will be greatly increased, and she will be a rich person by then.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu also needs to cooperate with France to deal with the Spanish.
Zhao Hongyu also needs to provide France with aid of 1.5 million silver livres, as well as some other supplies.
It can be seen that the wool comes from the sheep, so what does this little money mean?
It¡¯s not surprising that Mary was in a good mood and offered such a high salary.
"When do you plan to attack the Duke of Orleans' troops tonight?"
The atmosphere was finally not so dull now. Mary took the initiative and asked about the military action plan for the evening.
Zhao Hongyu took a look at the weather and it wasn¡¯t too early. He could start taking action after waiting for a while. Therefore, there was no need to hide it from Mary, so he told her the truth.
"Two o'clock in the middle of the night is when people are most sleepy. In order to launch the attack in the morning, the Duke of Orleans' troops will definitely need a good rest that night. This gives us an opportunity to easily surprise them ¡¡±¡ª¡ª

Northwestern suburbs of Marseille
Night falls, and summer nights are very hot.
The constant chirping of insects in the grass adds a bit of heat.
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s three gene-human troops quickly left the manor and began to march towards their destination.
The departure of these three teams was not discovered by the Duke of Orleans.
At this moment, the Duke of Orleans is drinking and making noise with the nobles.
From the perspective of the Duke of Orleans, he is now confident of victory.
It would never have occurred to him that he would fail one day.
People, sometimes if you are too proud, accidents will always happen.
The Duke of Orleans is too proud and too careless.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t even know how he became a duke.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t know at all that the title of Duke of Orleans was inherited.
If it hadn¡¯t been for his appearance, the good-for-nothing Gaston would have become a duke in the future and would have caused trouble for little Louis.
Everything originally changed because of the appearance of Zhao Hongyu.
The historical context has now become fragmented under the influence of Zhao Hongyu.
In the sycamore forest, the team of gene people marched quickly.
The occasional breeze caused a rustling sound in the woods, which just covered up the footsteps of the genetic man.
The distance of three kilometers is not that far. The genetic people who set out at midnight arrived at the outskirts of the military camp at one o'clock in the morning and laid down an ambush.
They are waiting for the moment when the enemy is at its weakest and most sleepy.
The surrounding sentries have been eliminated by the genetic people.
Therefore, the entire military camp did not know that they had now become the prey of others.
The same is true for the other two military camps¡ª¡ª

The next morning
Zhao Hongyu, Mary, and Little Louis all washed up and then came outside the manor.
There, the Duke of Orleans and others were waiting for them.
After seeing Zhao Hongyu and the others appear, the Duke of Orleans showed an arrogant look on his face, as if he was the superior master, while Zhao Hongyu and the others were humble existences.
"Is this guy quite impressive?"
Wang Shan muttered quietly behind Zhao Hongyu.
It seems that he is very unhappy with the Duke of Orleans.
"Let him feel good first, he will cry after a while, right?"
Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan carelessly.
At this time, a genetic man ran over from behind Zhao Hongyu and the others.
He came to Wang Shan¡¯s side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Afterwards, Wang Shan¡¯s face burst into a smile.
After driving away the gene man, Wang Shan lowered his voice and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Everything has been done. The Duke of Orleans' troops have been wiped out, and not a single one is left. Now our team has surrounded the manor, and the Duke of Orleans hasn't noticed it yet. .¡±
For Zhao Hongyu, this is the first good news today.
"It's done!"
Zhao Hongyu clapped his hands.
Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu walked to Mary's side and told her the matter.
After hearing the news, Mary¡¯s heart that had been hanging around was finally relieved.
Yes, she has been worried about this all night.
Now that she finally got the result, her whole body relaxed and she was no longer as tense as before.
"Today is the day for the duel between the Duke of Orleans and the maids under the wife of the American Crown Prince. We hope that the duel will be fair and equitable" When Zhao Hongyu and the others came to stand, Mary walked out and began to speak loudly.
However, her words were interrupted by the Duke of Orleans.
"Fair? Just? Who said that? When did I say I wanted a fair and just duel?"
The Archduke of Orleans walked out from the crowd, looked at Mary with a ferocious smile and said loudly.
"Duke Orleans, have you changed your mind?"
Mary asked with a cold face.
The Duke of Orleans didn't pay attention to Mary at all, but focused his hatred on Zhao Hongyu.
"You damn Native Americans actually hurt my beloved Gaston and turned him into a cripple. I must avenge this, but it's not a duel!"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu smiled and said, "Then what do you want to do?"
"I want you to die! You will all die here today!" the Grand Duke of Orleans laughed loudly with an arrogant look on his face. Then he turned his head sharply and looked at Mary, "And Your Majesty the Queen, you will die here too. But it's not me who kills you, but these Americans."
The Duke of Orleans, who boasted that he was sure of victory, has now torn off his mask of hypocrisy.
Facing the arrogant Duke of Orleans, Mary just looked at him coldly.
"Come out! My legion!"
The Duke of Orleans raised his hand and shouted! ¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"how so?"
The nobles around the Duke of Orleans have been taken aside one by one and executed.
The cries and pleas before death are endless.
The Duke of Orleans looked defeated and in disbelief at this time, and was tied up and trapped on the ground.
He kept mumbling to himself, not believing what was happening in front of him.
This was originally planned by him, and there was no deviation.
But why, at the critical moment, his own team did not show up, but the Royal Guards of the American Crown Prince showed up?
He was a little confused about this question.
The nobles who supported him were being slaughtered in rivers of blood.
The other party didn¡¯t kill him right away, so it seemed like he was going to save the last one for later.
Mary! You, the female cousin of thousands of people! You have to be good um um snap! Snapped! Snapped!
A gene man, when the Duke of Orleans was yelling curses, rushed over and started to slap him with his palms.
"Like an old man, like a son, when he summoned the army, didn't he know to attack immediately? If he did, we would definitely have a little trouble."
Not far away, Zhao Hongyu looked at the Duke of Orleans who was beaten into a pig's head, and whispered to Wang Shan and Mary.
"He doesn't have any skills. The territory is inherited. If he has skills, they are his ancestors and have nothing to do with him. If he had skills, his son would not be educated like that."
Wang Shan curled his lips and said to Zhao Hongyu.
Mary looked at the Duke of Orleans indifferently, without any sympathy for his fate.
At that time, if Zhao Hongyu had not controlled the situation long ago, it is estimated that the Grand Duke of Orleans would not let her and little Louis go.
Mary saw with her own eyes that the Archduke of Orleans picked up the short blunderbuss on his waist and pointed it at herself. It was obvious that he wanted to kill her as soon as possible.
Mary has no sympathy for people who want to kill her.
"These people were all killed by us. Her Royal Highness the Queen can declare this to the outside world. But this is something you need to consider, and it has nothing to do with me. I am willing to bear this scapegoat. Anyway, for me A piece of cake."
Zhao Hongyu said to Mary.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, maybe I would have beenThe Duke of Orleans was poisoned. "
Mary¡¯s gratitude is truly sincere.
Zhao Hongyu can feel it very well.
"Your Majesty the Queen, now is not the time to thank me. What you have to do now is to immediately integrate the territories of these nobles and the Duke of Orleans and return them to the royal family to increase strength."
Mary nodded: "This matter is already being done, but I need to go back to Paris to take charge." After saying that, Mary thought for a while, "I will leave little Louis here until I have everything ready." After everything is settled, I will rush back right away to continue discussing the cooperation with you."
Zhao Hongyu knew that Mary really had to go to Paris in person for this kind of thing.
Therefore, he did not retain Mary.
¡°Moreover, Mary was very sensible and kept little Louis as a hostage with Zhao Hongyu to show her sincerity.
What else can Zhao Hongyu say?
"One month, at most I can be back."
Mary said seriously to Zhao Hongyu.
"Your Highness the Queen, what should I do with this loser Gaston?"
At this time, Wang Shan glanced at the pig-headed Duke of Orleans and asked loudly.
Well! Well! Well!
Hearing them talking about Gaston, the Duke of Orleans, who was beaten into a pig¡¯s head and his mouth was gagged with a rag, began to twist his body and made a sound of ¡®Uh-huh¡¯¡
