Back at the Live Fish Village, they went to the workshop first. In the warehouse in the backyard of the workshop, there is a particularly heavy door. Behind the door is the ice warehouse of the small fire ice factory. This freezer is surrounded by wooden planks more than ten centimeters thick, divided into three layers, and sandwiched with two layers of cotton wool in between. It's like a big incubator.

"Open the door!" Yi Xiao gave an order, and the two big men pushed the door open together.

As soon as the door opened, a cool air made Yi Sheng at the door shiver, "Wow! "It was the first time she had seen a scene in the freezer.

The deep ice vault is filled with ice, like an ice cave.

"Qianyue, all the ice cubes made these days are here, there can be about a thousand boxes." Yi Sheng closed the door and reported to her carefully, "At your speed in the past few days, it is about more than three hundred boxes per day. ”

"Huh? If more and more people buy ice, won't it be enough to sell it? Yi Sheng shouted worriedly.

Qian Feiyue nodded: "The people in the village will receive the news soon, and then they can't sit still and come to us, we have to strike first." If they preempt us, we will retreat again, and we will retreat again and again. ”

Yi Xiao understood what she meant: "Okay, I'll go to the village chief." ”

After coming out of the workshop, Yi Xiao went to the village chief and talked about recruiting people from the village to work. As soon as the village chief received the news that they had bought the cave to make ice, they turned around and came.

"Hehe, Yi Xiao, you are a good one, remember the love in the village."

The corners of Yi Xiao's mouth twitched slightly: "Village chief, naturally you have to take care of the situation in the village first." However, you have to check this candidate for us, and if this is not done well, everyone will not be able to get over it. ”

"Hehehe...... Don't worry about this, Uncle will definitely pick some people for you. ”

Yi Xiao politely left the village chief's house, and the power to choose people was handed over to the village chief. It was also to lift him up and make him feel more comfortable.

After Yi Xiao came back, he told him about the situation, and before Qian Feiyue said anything, Yi Sheng jumped up first: "Brother, people let the village chief choose, what if you choose an unreliable one to sabotage or steal school?" ”

"Don't worry, you're a vegetarian when your brother?" Yi Xiao flashed his bright and strong fist, making Yi Sheng laugh. She had almost forgotten that his brother was the most powerful in the village.

Yi Xiao turned his eyes to the girl on the side of the list, and his admiration for her became deeper and deeper. She had already thought of it when she was building the workshop, which was divided into several areas, from raw material processing to heating and condensation. Therefore, when recruiting, it is enough to let each group of people only be responsible for a part.

The village chief moved quickly, and found twelve people that night. Since the accident in the saltpeter mine, many people have come back to fishing. Now that they have such a good salary, they are naturally rushing to come.

In this way, the next day they also had so many ice chips to manpower. So early in the morning, the mighty procession of board trucks set off from the live fish village to the market.

On this day, almost everyone in the southernmost fish market in Ryukyu used ice chips.

When everyone doesn't use it, they don't feel it, and when someone uses it and someone doesn't use it, the comparison comes out. Those who come to the fish market, when they see the fish frozen in ice chips, will always take a little bit away while being curious. And those who are useless, people will not even look at them.

As a result, the next day's orders rose a lot, and the people who worked were too busy to keep their mouths shut. In addition, working in the Yi family, the money is all cash, and everyone cherishes this job even more. And those who didn't catch up thought that the law would squeeze to the Yi family. For a time, at the door of Yi's house, the door was like a city.

The eldest aunt of the Yi Xiao brothers and sisters also came to the door at night, because they were afraid that the two brothers and sisters would react, so they screened out their eldest uncle on his side.

"Hehehe, Ah Xiao, Ah Sheng, didn't you ask your uncle to build a house before? Why would you refuse to ask for it, don't bring this! We're relatives, break bones and tendons! ”

"I don't see relatives who can't be saved!" Yi Sheng shouted into the courtyard through the door, and was pulled into the house by Yi Xiao.

Yi Xiao stepped out of the door: "When Qianyue gave you silver, we signed a letter of severance. If you want to work, you can also work like everyone else. Do a good job, and the salary will not be less than you; If you don't do well, don't talk about your relatives! Alright, you can go back. Come to work tomorrow. ”

"Hey, Yi Xiao, you turned your face and didn't recognize people when you made money......"

"Bang!" The aunt still wanted to stir up, but was blocked out by a loud closing of the door.

Outside the door was the aunt's scolding, and inside the door was Yi Sheng's exclamation looking at Yi Xiao in surprise: "I said brother, when did you break off the relationship with the aunt?" ”

"I'm ......" Yi Xiao tensed, "You're not going to be angry, are you?" ”

Yi Sheng stood up and walked in front of Yi Xiao, stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Brother!" ”

"Well done!"

"Huh?"

"Hehe......" Yi Sheng laughed first, she felt that her brother was really different this time, smiling and laughing, with some tears in the corners of her eyes.

Yi Xiao began to be blindfolded, and laughed a little embarrassedly later. When he laughed, he also secretly glanced at Qian Scarlet Yue, he was afraid that she would blame him for taking advantage of her strength. It's just that he saw only encouragement and appreciation in her eyes, and his face turned even redder.

"Qianyue, tomorrow I want to go to Fucheng and order some wood and cotton, we don't have much material for the box."

"Well," Scarlet Moon nodded, "you go straight to the bazaar after delivering the ice chips." Let Ah Sheng follow you too! ”

Yi Sheng's whole person lit up when he heard it: "Sister Yue, I ......"

"Oh, go see the world, bring me something delicious."

"Uh-huh!" After Yi Sheng finished speaking, he hugged Qian Scarlet Yue, "Sister Yue, you are so good!" ”

Qian Feiyue smiled and patted her hand: "Yi Xiao, bring me a map of the surrounding area back." Her idea was simple, the dozen or so villages at the southern end had been taken, and she was going to start marching elsewhere. Before finding Qianmo, she will not stop to spread the signboard of "Xiaohuo Ice Factory" more widely and farther.

"Qianmo, I will definitely find you soon." The smooth victory of the first market has doubled Qian Scarlet's confidence.

And Qianmo on Saltpeter Island was waiting more and more anxiously, the letter had been sent out for ten days, and according to the time given by the post station, the reply should have arrived yesterday. He had been standing on the shore for a day and a night, but he had not waited.

In fact, the letter did arrive in Dongzhou as promised, but the person who delivered the letter was dumbfounded when he found the Xiushui Inn. How did he find the recipient of this charred and dilapidated place?

Their "Flying Pigeon League" is well-known for its good reputation for sending letters, especially since the other party is still a big customer with generous money, so this time it can't be smashed in his hands.

So this letter-sending brother with a strong sense of honor made a decision that he was very happy to remember many years later: "Find!" ”
