In the ancient society of China, women were divided into ten classes, namely: people around them, capable people, donors, needlework, cousins, zaju people, partners, piano players, chess pieces and cooks. People around them get the highest scores, which means that the beauty of people around them is the most outstanding. These women may take part in conscription and enter the palace as concubines, so these women all learn court etiquette. Take a satrap in the Song Dynasty for example. One day, the satrap thought his food was too light. He remembers that when he was in Beijing, a minister invited him to dinner. The dishes cooked by the cook are not only delicious, but also unforgettable, so the satrap also wants to go to Beijing to find a cook to cook for himself. Then he found a client, who is now an intermediary in the talent market, and asked if they had a suitable chef.
The next day, the customer said it was found, but the chef would not come for half a month because it was a long way. At the same time, the party also said that the chef is not only superb in cooking, but also brilliant in literary talent. The satrap was overjoyed and waited for the arrival of the cook at home. Half a month later, the cook wrote a letter to the satrap, which was written in a very standard seal script. The content of the letter is: I am glad that I will come at once.
The satrap was dumbfounded, but for his own face, he spent money to find four sedan chairs to wait for the cook. Later, the cook was taken back. The moment the cook got off the sedan chair, the satrap was shocked. Dressed in red and light, the cook walked slowly towards the prefect. The satrap's eyes looked straight. The next day, the cook cooked for Taishou, but her menu said fifty sheep heads and Taishou. The salary that day was also very expensive, and it cost 220 pieces of silver. After the prefect paid the cook's salary, he casually found a reason to send the cook back, because the cook was too expensive.
