    Time passed slowly, and those Westerners began to prepare to study Chinese books. After all, they would be responsible for translation work in the future.  And the one with the best level among them is Maupassant. His Chinese level has reached Level 8 for later generations, which is simply amazing.  Of course, it seems to Maupassant that those classical Chinese books are still quite difficult, because even foreigners with level 8 Chinese skills in later generations would not find it easy to understand those classical Chinese books.  And now they all want to read these classical Chinese books, and then they can translate these books into the language of their motherland, so that they can spread Chinese culture to the West.  If there is a problem with the translation, it will definitely be bad luck.  "My lords, today's snacks have been delivered!" said a low-level eunuch.  Jingwen immediately asked: "What is today's snack?" "Haha, it's the banana chips caused by eating every day!" The eunuch said.  Jing Wen listened to banana chips and said, "Well, it's really good!" The so-called banana chips are bananas dried into a flaky thing.  In this era, bananas are a unique fruit in the south, and this banana chip is actually produced in Guangzhou.  After the Tiantian Food Branch in Guangzhou purchases bananas, they are dried and made into banana chips before being transported to the north.  Because of the limited transportation capacity in ancient times, it was impossible for Jingwen to eat fresh bananas. He could only eat banana slices.  Later generations of Jingwen were from the south and liked to eat bananas, but in the Tang Dynasty, they could not eat them due to transportation capacity.  When Wang Xuance went to Guangzhou, he also sent people to open some branches in Guangzhou, including bank branches and Tiantian Food Branch.  So now Jingwen can also eat banana slices.  The reason why Jing Wen can eat while working is because these officials also have some snacks to eat every day.  And these not only include snacks, but also various things to eat during office hours.  You can also order some snacks at any time, and banana chips are just a snack.  I have to say that officials in the Tang Dynasty were really "smart" and could ask the imperial chef to make some snacks in the palace at any time.  certainly.  This means that only those in the palace can enjoy it.  In other large yamen, they also have to order takeout from Tiantian Food. Anyway, Jingwen's Tiantian Food will be delivered to them, and then they will settle the bill at the end of the month.  Of course, the things sold to these yamen are also sold at cost price. Of course, Jing Wen will not make extra money, otherwise he would be really ignorant.  "Go and get some for these foreign friends. Since they are here, count them as part of it!" Jing Wen said.  "Okay!" said the eunuch.  "Quack quack" These foreigners are eating banana slices, which are obviously crunchy.  A croaking sound was made.  "Well, it's so delicious!" Maupassant said.  "Old Mo, this is made from a fruit unique to our south. Even in our Tang Dynasty, not many people can eat it. You guys come to the palace to work, you are really lucky!" Jing Wen said  .  There was no great voyage in this era, so Westerners rarely had access to Eastern fruits.  In addition, the production of fruits in ancient times was relatively small, which made it unaffordable for most people. Only officials and rich people could afford it.  And now these guys are working in the palace.  I can also get some light from it, which feels very good.  None of them had ever eaten bananas, so naturally they thought this kind of banana was very delicious.  Maupassant began to eat the banana slices.  Apparently it was delicious.  This was the first time he had tasted such delicious fruit. Even though he had some financial strength in the West, he had never tasted such delicious food.  Maupassant couldn't help but sigh that it was really good to be employed by the government in the Tang Dynasty.  Not only is the salary high, but there are also many benefits.  If these banana chips are in the West, don't say whether they are available or not.  Even if there were, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible to eat gold without equal weight!  This is not an exaggeration at all, because there are not many such things in the East, let alone being transported to the West for sale.  But now Maupassant feels that he can eat whatever he wants, which is really great.  Such delicious food is so satisfying.  "Don't worry, don't be in a hurry to eat. You won't be able to eat it until lunch!" Jing Wen said.  Looking at the ugliness of these Westerners, Jing Wen was also very amused. Apparently these guys were so embarrassed by a banana split.  If they eat something more delicious later, they may have to swallow it with their tongues. This may not be a joke.  After working for several hours, it was finally noon.  At noon, according to the process, it is usually necessary to deliver takeaway work meals every day.  Of course, this working meal is also given according to the official grade. Only the higher-ranking officials can eat higher-level working meals.  And this?Hierarchicalization did not offend these ancient people. These ancient people also seemed to agree with it. Apparently they felt that this situation was very normal.  If everyone was treated the same, it would be abnormal for ancient people.  ¡°My lords, dinner is ready!¡± shouted the food delivery boy from Tiantian Food.  Soon, some ordinary clerks were also preparing to receive their own meals, and the Westerners headed by Maupassant also wanted to queue up to receive them.  "Old Mo, there's no need to go over there! Come with me!" Jing Wen said.  Jing Wen took these Westerners, headed by Maupassant, to the meals of the seventh-rank official, and then asked those who eat every day to bring the working meals corresponding to the seventh-rank official.  And Maupassant could clearly see that the food of the seventh-rank officials here was obviously much better than that of the petty officials.  The meals for those small officials are obviously cooked together in a big pot, and the dishes are fixed and they cannot choose freely.  The talents of those small officials are not enough to make them meat, vegetables and soup.  But Maupassant could see that even the food of those petty officials in the West could only be afforded by nobles, but now a petty official can also enjoy the treatment of those Western nobles. This makes them extremely envious!  So, they also went to line up just now.  But now that they have come to the food at Qipinguan, they all feel completely different.  The food of these seventh-rank officials is actually many times better than that of the petty officials.  Not only are there a lot to choose from, but the dishes are all made individually, and they won't be a hodgepodge like the meals of the petty officials.  The meals for these seventh-rank officials are all self-selected buffets, so you can eat whatever you want.  As long as it's not wasted, you have a choice.  You can eat whatever you want, such as roasted chicken, roasted duck, roasted goose.  There are things that fly in the sky, things that walk on the ground, and things that swim in the water.  Maupassant felt that his hair was dripping from his cheeks, and he was obviously extremely envious!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
