Chi Yue had no choice but to say: "Isn't it extremely hot in summer, so I asked someone to design a fan for me, but I couldn't find anyone who could help." Maybe I thought about it for a long time, but I dreamed of this begging thing in my dream, and I drew it. Uncle, do you think it can be done? ”

Listening to Chi Yue's speech, Chi Carpenter felt as if he was listening to a myth, he couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.

How can a little girl from the countryside who has never learned the construction of a machine and even made a plow?

If it is said that the gods entrusted her with dreams, it makes sense to think about it.

It's just that he has been a carpenter for more than 20 years, and all he thinks about day and night is carpenter's work, but why did the gods never give him dreams? Therefore, for Chi Yue, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Ikecarpenter was most fond of making instruments, and studied the drawings over and over again.

The enthusiasm in his heart grew stronger and stronger, as if he saw the future.

If this design is made, then his name will be well-known in all parts of the country, and even beyond! Where would he let go of such a good opportunity to try?

Immediately, he agreed, "I still have to carefully consider the details of this, you go back and wait, how about three days later?" ”

Chi Yue nodded and agreed, "Then it's troublesome uncle." ”

After Chi Yue went back, he waited for the artificial fan to be made with peace of mind.

After a day off, when she went to work again, she was relaxed.

She bought a large ice cube and made an iced drink in the workshop, which was served in a small, thin porcelain bottle and distributed to the crowd to taste.

The iced drink was mixed with orange juice and grape juice, which was not only cool, but also sweet and refreshing.

"Boss Chi is so nice, and he wants to prepare cold water for us to drink to cool off, with such a boss, we should work harder, don't let her down." One person made up his mind, lifted his spirit, and worked harder.

"Boss Chi is so smart, he can make such a delicious water drink, which is much better than what is sold in the water shop." Some people were amazed, smacked their lips, and wanted to taste the evocative taste again.

"That's it, what does Boss Chi do, maybe he can open a water drink shop, it's no worse than this sugar workshop." The other was also adored.

Chi Yuan, who was working in the sugar boiling room, listened to the praise of Chi Yue downstairs, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes burst out with cruelty.

Look at how long you can last with this scenery!

Chi Yue was carefully making an iced drink in the kitchen, and Chi Xin suddenly ran in in a panic, panting and said, "Oh no, Chi Yue, something is wrong!" ”

Chi Yue raised her eyes and asked curiously, "What's the matter, sister, what made you so panicked?" You take a sip of ice-cold water and speak slowly. ”

As he spoke, he handed a porcelain vase to Chi Xin.

Chi Xin shook her head and said hurriedly, "Yue'er, where do we still have time to drink this thing?" Our business is about to be robbed by others! Won't you come with me? ”

Chi Yue was stunned and asked inexplicably: "What do you mean by robbing?" ”

Chi Xin swallowed and tried to calm down, "Someone said to me just now that on the street in front, a workshop was also opened yesterday, and that workshop was more than twice as big as ours here, and he also threatened to recruit two or three hundred workers on the recruitment notice!" With such a big workshop, he couldn't help but be curious to go over and see what it was doing, but it turned out to be the same sugar workshop as us! ”

Chi Yue couldn't help frowning, "It's okay to say that this ordinary skill of making sugar is okay, but we keep this sugar boiling link strictly secret, and it is impossible to leak it out, how did they know about it?" Could it be that there are capable people who figured it out by themselves? ”

She knows her own sugar-making skills, and there is a long queue of people who want to learn it, and she wants to get a glimpse of the sugar boiling process.

If you master all the links, I am afraid that many people will want to open their own workshops, be their own bosses, and make this lucrative money.

"I don't know about that." Chi Xin shook her head, her worry overflowing, "Didn't you say that Gu Gongzi is also making sugar over there?" So, did the people on his side leak the secret recipe out? ”

Chi Yue shook her head slowly, "The management over there is even stricter than ours, and no one dares to offend Gu Gongzi in the future." ”

"Then can you tell whose workshop this is?" Chi Yue asked again.

Chi Xin shook her head again, "I asked a few passers-by in the past, but all of them said that they didn't know, and I went to ask the gatekeeper again, but they refused to say, only that the boss's surname was Li." Come to think of it, it's still a big boss behind the scenes. ”

Chi Yue couldn't help but be curious, and followed Chi Xin to the front street.

When she saw the glittering "Li's Workshop", the long row of towering workmanship houses, and the spacious and bright courtyard, Chi Yue only felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost something.

Seeing that someone is going to fight against her, her dream of making a lot of money from sugar and opening chain stores all over Kyushu seems to be not so easy to realize.

Stunned, he went back to the workshop, and Chi Yue went straight to the sugar room.

Seeing that Aunt Deng, Aunt Liu, Lu Zhen and Chi Yuan were wiping their sweat and busily in front of the stove, she walked over and handed out the cold water to them.

Everyone was full of praise, and their burned red faces eased slightly, and they laughed.

Chi Yue scanned everyone for a while before he said tentatively: "I heard that there is a new sugar workshop on the street in front. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Chi Yue in amazement.

"Whose house? How do they know how to boil sugar? Aunt Liu asked first.

"That is, is it possible that such a meticulous work can be figured out by yourself without learning?" Lu Zhen looked suspicious.

Seeing that Chi Yue didn't speak for a long time, Aunt Deng asked cautiously: "Boss Chi, don't you suspect that one of us has leaked this secret recipe?" ”

Hearing this, everyone on the spot was stunned, silent, the needle drop could be heard, only the "thunderbolt" of firewood was faintly sounded.

They carefully observed Chi Yue's face, fearing that she would put her suspicions on their heads.

Chi Yue smiled slightly, but still didn't speak.

The deep meaning in the eyes is incomprehensible to anyone. In this way, it is even more alarming.

"Let me explain first, I will never do such a conscientious thing!" Chi Yuan Huo Ran stood up and swore to Chi Yue, "Chi Yue, let's not say that I am close to you and you, and you must not help outsiders harm your own family, just say that in the past month, I have been diligent and hard-working here, and you can see it clearly, don't you know who I am?" ”

"That is, you also know how many of us are, it is absolutely impossible for us to do such a bastard thing!" Aunt Liu also defended herself anxiously.

Lu Zhen asked hesitantly: "I don't know who opened this workshop?" ”

"The Li family." Chi Yue spoke at this time, "But I don't know which Li family it is." ”

Hearing the word "Li family", a touch of shock flashed in Lu Zhen's eyes, and she couldn't help but look at Chi Yuan.

Chi Yuan didn't notice her abnormality, and said to himself, "Li family? There are hundreds of families surnamed Li in the county, how can you guess which Li family it is? ”

"There are only a handful of people who can afford a workshop twice the size of our workshop." Chi Yue said thoughtfully.

"Could it be Li Chengguang's family?" Lu Zhen suddenly opened his mouth, "Li Chengguang's eldest brother is Li Shangshu, a high-ranking and powerful man in the capital, he has opened several dyeing workshops by himself, and he is a businessman who is not big or small. I heard that his daughter Li Qingqing is also more blue than blue, and she is also a good hand at helping him take care of his business. This Li Chengguang family, in Baihua County, is not lost to the Liu family. ”

Hearing Lu Zhen say this, Chi Yue immediately called someone to inquire whether it was really Li Chengguang who opened this workshop.

As a result, left and right, and finally got the news.

Sure enough, this is Li Chengguang's workshop, and the person who opened this workshop was not Li Chengguang, but his daughter Li Qingqing.

When Lu Zhen heard the news, she became more and more suspicious, looking at Chi Yuan, who was only immersed in work, her eyes were full of complicated emotions.

After getting off work, she quietly found Chi Yue and told her about the fact that she had followed Chi Yuan behind her and saw him enter the gate of the Li Mansion with Ge Yu.

In this way, not only did she help Chi Yue, but she could also clear her suspicions.

When Chi Yue heard this, she felt angry.

If it is really Chi Yuan who has colluded with the Li family, then is Chi Yuan's changes in the past two months all just acting? He is acting for her, the purpose is to get the art of boiling sugar, and then sell it to the coveter?

She couldn't believe that she would be deceived by Chi Yuan so much, and she couldn't believe it, she trusted him with all her heart, but he played her like a monkey!

In this way, who else in the world can be absolutely trusted?

This thunderbolt-like news on a sunny day undoubtedly had a huge blow to her.

Before she could go to Chi Yuan to ask for clarification, Chi Yuan found her first.

Lu Zhen saw him coming, and hurriedly went downstairs under the pretext that he had something.

"Chi Yue, you're still busy here after work, you're really a good boss who is conscientious."

Chi Yuan said with a smile, sat down on his chair by himself, and took a sip of cold tea.

Chi Yue tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and asked with a calm face: "Brother Yuan, are you looking for me?" ”

"Exactly." Chi Yuan said with a straight face, while putting a heavy large package "Pada" on the table, "Your sister-in-law learned that I owe you three hundred taels of silver, so it is called a ruthless iron that cannot be made of steel, so I have to pay you back the silver taels immediately, so that you can afford me." No, these are all the silver money she has collected from selling her dowry, even if you count it, is it enough for three hundred taels of silver? ”

As he spoke, he tapped his finger at the heavy package.

Chi Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, wanting to ask something, but swallowed the words back.

"Sister-in-law is really generous, and she cares about you very much." Chi Yue smiled faintly, "It's just that I don't know where my sister-in-law, a girl from the countryside, got so much dowry, as much as three hundred taels?" ”

Chi Yuan raised his eyebrows and said unconvinced: "Don't underestimate Xiuxiu's family, her father is a lifter, and his family background is thick!" It's just that people are low-key on the surface and don't want to make a statement. ”

Chi Yue remained silent, "So that's the case, Brother Yuan, you have an excellent family affair, which is enviable." ”
