After Chen Xiao's barbecued pork bun shop got on the right track, the income of one to two gold coins a day gave Chen Xiao free money to buy a lot of things. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He hired Calus directly as his royal engineer and began to build the factory.

He has a big plan, and if he doesn't have the productivity of large equipment, no matter what he does, it's a small fight, and he can't make the climate.

For the location of the factory, Chen Xiao built it directly near the bell tower. The daily rumbling noise of the construction almost made Orka sleepless. He had insomnia for several days and had a pair of panda eyes.

He already knew that Chen Xiao was not an ordinary person, the kind of character who could refine all kinds of strange things, if he was an ordinary person, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

He occasionally heard that Chen Xiao was a wise scholar or a mysterious magician.

But Orka thinks Chen Xiao is just a cunning businessman.

Because that guy is borrowing money again.

"Mr. Chen, you came late at night, I don't know what you mean?" Orka appeared in the hall in his pajamas. The loose, speckled dressing gown, which wrapped around Orka's thin body, looked ridiculous.

Chen Xiao made a gesture to Orka and said, "My lord, the cost of building a factory has been tight recently, and I don't know if you can allocate funds." ”

"Another appropriation?" Orka almost jumped, he already regretted that he had agreed to fund Chen Xiao's construction of the factory a few days ago.

After he tried that kind of soap, he liked it very much, and Chen Xiao's description of the prospect made Orka full of expectations for that kind of magical soap, so he funded Chen Xiao to build a factory for mass production.

However, the cost of building the factory is simply a bottomless pit.

He took advantage of the wealth he had worked so hard to accumulate had shrunk by more than half in just two days. The factory is already under construction, and if it is stopped, then the money he has invested will be wasted.

Orka glanced at Chen Xiao deeply and said, "Mr. Chen." How much do you need for that so-called factory? I don't have that much spare money to fund a factory like yours that I've never heard of. ”

"Your Excellency. The construction of the factory has entered an advanced stage, and the main equipment has been intensified. As soon as the equipment is in place, it is possible to carry out mass production of soap. I won't say much about the benefits of soap, but adults have also tested it themselves. ”

Orka, of course, knew the prospect of that soap. It was so wonderful that he didn't like bathing before, but now he likes bathing.

If soap comes out, it is believed that it will become a must-have in the bathrooms of all nobles, and even a must-have for everyone's baths. Chen Xiao has already said this, and Orka also thinks so. That's why we agreed to invest in factories to produce soap.

"Mr. Chen. I also told you that I need money to make some connections with the people in the imperial capital, and I have eyebrows, and there will be a transfer notice soon. At that time, I will leave this place where birds don't poop and go to other big cities, or even return to the imperial capital. So, you should know what I'm worried about. Orka was blunt, and she had nothing to hide from Chen Xiao.

He wasn't worried that Chen Xiao would have any bad intentions about him. Because his people are always staring at Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao's every move will be reported to Orka.

After several cooperations, Orka also felt that Chen Xiao was already on his side. Therefore, he was not too wary of Chen Xiao.

Orka, who has been isolated in this place where birds don't shit, is facing lowly and honest civilians, but he doesn't know the real deception in the officialdom.

So, Orka is still very pure.

Chen Xiao nodded and said: "What the adults are worried about, the villains naturally understand, so they want to process and add points to complete the construction of the project and put it into production, which can help the adults monopolize the market and make a name for themselves in the shortest possible time." ”

Make a name for yourself!

Orka's eyes lit up, and Chen Xiao's statement was also very reasonable. As soon as soap came out and entered the aristocratic life circle, then he, Orka, an investor, would rise to the top and become the founder of everyone among the aristocracy, which would be of great benefit to his career.

Thinking of this, Orka couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "That's a good point. The appropriation was approved. How much do you need?"

"Thirty gold coins. Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Orka gritted his teeth and said, "I'll order someone to send it over tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room, too lazy to see Chen Xiao, a guy who wanted money again.

Chen Xiao held back a smile and said loudly, "Good night, adults." See you tomorrow. He found Orka not so annoying, at least relatively simple-minded, very easy to fool.

The night was cold, and the two bright moons corresponded in the distance. After Chen Xiao came out of the bell tower, he came to Sap's blacksmith shop and called Sapp for supper.

Sapp had already slept, but was woken up by Chen Xiao, and his face was already full of displeasure. These days, because he has to help Chen Xiao forge all kinds of strange equipment molds, Sapu is already tired like a dog, and he can't rest well, so he has to accompany Chen Xiao to have supper.

This guy is really good at tossing old people.

Sapp shouted dissatisfiedly: "It's late at night, what kind of supper." It's better to go back to bed early. ”

Chen Xiao smiled: "I'm in a good mood, old man." Are you not hungry?"

Hearing Chen Xiao say this, Sapu remembered the delicious clear soup noodles, couldn't help touching his stomach, and said, "Why aren't you hungry, you kid has made a mess these days, and the old man is tired to death." If you don't eat satisfactorily tonight, you don't even want me to forge anything for you in the future. ”

Although Sapp said so, he was still happy because his craft was being put to its best these days.

Those strange-shaped molds can't be made by craftsmen without some skills.

Moreover, he also learned a lot of new forging techniques from Chen Xiao, which is the best time for a craftsman who has been making blacksmiths all his life.

"You're guaranteed to eat to your heart's content. Chen Xiao smiled and led Sapp to his laboratory.

The lab was his exclusive place, and no one else was allowed to enter. But Sapp was an exception, because many of his equipment and instruments were forged by Sapp.

Chen Xiao lit the alcohol lamp.

The bottle of the alcohol lamp, as well as the small objects such as the lamp and the wick base, were all created by Sapp at the request of Chen Xiao.

Tharp glanced at the alcohol lamp and did not speak. Chen Xiao put the alcohol lamp under an empty shelf, then put an iron pot on the shelf, and said with a smile: "Let's make a hot pot." I've got all the materials ready. ”

"Hot pot?" Sapp's face was confused.

He's never heard of hot pot, isn't it delicious?

Seeing this, Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Shabu-shabu is to boil the soup, and then blanch the food with the boiling soup. It's delicious. ”

Sapp scratched his beard, anticipation in his eyes.

The food prepared by Chen Xiao was a lot of meat, as well as some fruits and vegetables. As soon as the water boiled, Chen Xiao took the meat slices and soaked them in the boiling water twice, and dipped them in the sauce and ate them.

Seeing this, Sap also followed Chen Xiao's example, picking up the meat slices with chopsticks and shaking them. The sauce he hadn't tasted, it was sweet and sour, but it tasted very tasty.

He stared at the boss and asked, "How did you come up with this way of eating?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "This is a very popular way to eat in my hometown. You can talk while eating. ”

You must know that eating hot pot will have a great taste, because the soup vapor volatilizes, so you can smell the aroma of shabu shabu from afar.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory. Chen Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, so he put down his chopsticks and went out to open the door. I saw a big fat man in pajamas, who appeared in front of Chen Xiao with a sleepy face.

"Soros?" Chen Xiao had an impression of this big fat man, because he was the first foodie Chen Xiao knew.

This big fat man has been squatting in his steamed bun shop to eat steamed buns every day, and he doesn't leave until he can't eat it every time. And I have asked many times about the secret recipe for making steamed buns. So Chen Xiao is still impressed.

"I'll just say who it is, it turned out to be Boss Chen, hmm...... It's so fragrant. What are you eating?" Soros looked inside the laboratory, his sleepy face suddenly refreshed. Soros licked his mouth and almost drooled.

Chen Xiao couldn't help laughing and said, "In the hot pot, are you interested?"

"Shabu-shabu?" Soros looked confused again, he had never heard of shabu-shabu. However, although he didn't know what it meant, he knew that this thing must be delicious, so he immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, yes." I feel like I'm hungry again. ”
