"Your name is Li Daniu, right? What do you do besides hunting? ”

"I can chop wood, carry water, carry things, as long as I have the strength to do it."

"What would you do if I bought you and asked you to beat people? The harder you beat, the more you eat, otherwise you won't have anything to eat. ”

"Forget it, my father said that unless someone else does it first, you can't use your fist against others, otherwise it will become unreasonable. You told me to beat people, and I couldn't do that. ”

"Then let me ask you, what are you going to do if someone comes into your master's house to steal something, but doesn't do anything to you?"

"That's not good, how can a thief be the same, of course you have to catch it first. I'm not a fool, so I can't even tell the difference. ”

"If only you knew that. Don't worry, I'm just saying it, and I'm not really asking you to beat people up for no reason. Okay, Mrs. Zhao, I bought this person. ”

Mrs. Zhao was immediately overjoyed, "Brother Xie Su, Brother Xie Su." "She also wants to get rid of this stupid big one sooner, it's so good to eat.

After completing the business procedures with Mrs. Zhao, Chi Fei did not favor one over the other, and like Zhang Xiao'e, he told Li Daniu that as long as he did it for ten years, as long as he did not do anything sorry for him during this period, he would eliminate his slavery and let him regain his freedom.

When Li Daniu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

If there is a choice, who wants to be a slave for the rest of their lives? This promise made Li Daniu dance with joy.

Zhang Xiao'e, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but be happy for him, and felt more and more that he was really a good person.

Next, Chi Fei introduced Zhang Xiao'e to Li Daniu and told him to listen to Zhang Xiao'e's arrangements in the future, and sell him if he was disobedient. Chi Fei was worried that Zhang Xiao'e was too young to suppress him, so he said so.

Under the combination of grace and power, Li Daniu immediately said that he would definitely obey Zhang Xiao'e's arrangement, and there was no other word.

In this way, this Li Daniu became the second subordinate of Chi Fei's family.

It's just that within two days, Zhang Xiao'e complained to Chi Fei with a sad face, this Li Da Niu is really too eaten.

Other people eat by the bowl, he by the bucket, one person can kill the entire bucket of rice, it is really a veritable rice bucket.

Chi Fei had long known that the big cow could eat, so he was not surprised, and could only comfort Zhang Xiao'e and said that the family had money, so there was no need to worry about having nothing to eat.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiao'e found that although this big cow is very edible, it is still very good at work. Especially manual work, others need to do a day's work, and he finishes it in an hour or two.

And he is also very honest, no matter what he is asked to do, he will do it honestly and well, and he will not cheat and cheat.

It's just that people are a little stupid, their brains won't turn, and they must be clear when arranging them to do things, otherwise they are easy to do wrong things.

Overall, Zhang Xiao'e is quite satisfied with this newcomer Li Daniu. It's just eating too much, which has always haunted her.

Even Jian Shuqi, who was a guest at the door, saw the big cow, and wondered how Ah Zhen could buy such a stupid big man to come back to be a person.

Soon, half a month passed, and the soap mold ordered by Chi Fei and the square large clay pot ordered by the bricklayer were all ready.

After getting the mold and clay pot, he immediately called Zhang Xiao'e into the kitchen alone, and then began to teach her how to make soap from beginning to end.

Zhang Xiao'e suddenly felt that something was wrong while doing it, and then she reacted, doing this is tantamount to showing her the unique secret recipe.

It's not okay. She quickly excused herself and said that she had something to do and that she had to go out first.

Chi Fei had already seen her thoughts, and grabbed her back with one hand and said very frankly: "Okay, you don't have to hide, I am indeed teaching you how to do this thing." When you regain your freedom later, you can rely on this craft to eat. ”

"This is your unique secret recipe, I can't read it, I really can't read it." Zhang Xiao'e was sweating in a hurry.

"It's really my secret recipe, but I'm going to sell it, and I'm not going to make it myself. So even if you learn this recipe now, it's just one more craft. ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, just watch how I do it, and you will do this key step alone in the future, and let Da Niu help with the rest of the parts that are not important, do you understand?"

Zhang Xiao'e nodded with red eyes.

Because Zhang Xiao'e was already very familiar with the step of making spice water with spices, Chi Fei skipped this step and taught her how to mix soda ash with spice water to make soda ash solution, and then mix slaked lime with soda ash solution to make caustic soda solution.

Then, the caustic soda solution and the filtered soybean oil are heated at the same time, mixed together to make a soap, and finally the soap is filled into the mold.

He explained and operated, and each step was explained very clearly and in detail.

After doing it again, he asked Zhang Xiao'e to try it herself, and he watched from the side.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiao'e was very nervous, cautiously worried that something would go wrong. Later, after doing it a few more times, I quickly got started.

Chi Fei saw that she had already gotten started, so he asked her to fill up all the remaining molds, and then put them in a cool place and wait for it to dry naturally.

Whether it is soap or soap, the biggest problem is that it takes too long to wait for it to dry completely, and it will take more than a month to move, so Chi Fei ordered so many molds and large clay pots in one go, and made a large number of them as soon as he made them.

When she finished, Chi Fei asked, "Do you know why I want to make two kinds of soap?" ”

"Do you want to sell it in two types?"

"Yes, one is ordinary soap that has no fragrance and has to be cut out piece by piece and sold, this kind of soap is for ordinary people, the price is not expensive, and it can be sold by weight. Another type of soap, which is not only scented, but also has a beautiful shape, is a high-end product sold to wealthy people, and the price is much higher than ordinary soap. ”

"Master, since you are the only one who can make this kind of thing, why do you want to sell the recipe?"

"Fool, if it's a small amount, you can do it alone, but if it's a large amount, what can you do alone?

If you want to ask someone to open a workshop, so many people come and go, it is difficult for Fang Zi not to leak out, and there will always be some people who want to find out about your key steps.

This leak is a minor issue, and there may be ways to avoid it if you are very careful.

The real trouble is that once the soap becomes a money-making object, not only the merchants, but also the powerful dignitaries will swarm like piranhas that smell blood.

We're just ordinary people, how can we fight those people? They can lock you up and force you to hand over the recipe by just looking for a name. The husband is not guilty, and this is the truth.

Therefore, it is impossible to do a business in the sole market. You can only maximize the benefits of this party and sell a few more merchants to make more money.

But after all, Fang Zi is just Fang Zi, and no one will believe you without a finished product. Therefore, we must first make a batch of finished products and sell them ourselves, so that we can attract those merchants to come.

As for you, just learn this craft of making soap, and when you go out in the future, you can support yourself with this craft, and you should be able to eat with a small shop or something. ”

Zhang Xiao'e was very excited and knelt down and kowtowed to him, "Master, I will never forget your great kindness in my life." ”

Chi Fei hurriedly pulled her up, "Don't be like this in the future, I'm most afraid that others will give me such a big courtesy, and I will lose my life."

You are someone I can trust, and I will not be stingy with my own people. Wait for a while to see if this Li Da Niu is really credible, if it's okay, you can teach him together. ”

Zhang Xiao'e rubbed her eyes and choked up: "Even if you want to teach, you have to wait until you sell the recipe." ”

"Let you go, let's go out."

"Hmm." Zhang Xiao'e followed him silently with red eyes.

In the next few days, Chi Fei took Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu together to start making a large amount of soap, and after it was done, it was all packed in the twenty or so square clay pots to dry.

After these 20 or so large clay pots were loaded, they were placed everywhere. Luckily, there are plenty of spare rooms, otherwise I really can't fit it.

Just like Chi Fei said before, the two key steps of making spice water and caustic soda solution were completed by him and Zhang Xiao'e alone, and they were not seen by Da Niu, and Da Niu was not involved until the next other processes.

Da Niu actually didn't know what the master was doing, but he still did what he was told very honestly and obediently.

With the addition of Da Niu, Chi Fei and Zhang Xiao'e's workload was instantly reduced a lot. In particular, he did almost all the hard work of moving and lifting, which saved them a lot of work.

And after using the soap made before, Da Niu also thinks that this thing is very useful, whether it is used for washing clothes or bathing, it is very clean, and he thinks this thing is amazing.

Just two days after Chi Fei took Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu to finish this matter, the golden shopkeeper suddenly came to the door with an invitation to find Chi Fei.
