Chapter 9 Small Workshop

Wang Yue got Liu Yan's order, so he laughed happily, and was about to say goodbye and leave, but heard Liu Yan say: "Tomorrow, you will take someone to clean up the room next to the lookout in the pier, I will be useful." ”

"Yes!"

Early the next morning, Liu Yan came to the side of the lookout, there was a not small room here, which was originally idle, but now Wang Yue was leading people to clean up, and from it there were many broken things that no one wanted.

At this time, Liu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to these, but called Chen Xun and his wife over.

"Captain A, you called us?"

Liu Yan looked at the two of them smiling, and asked, "The rations have been brought back, and now the days are more relaxed, right?" ”

Chen Jiang said: "Thanks to the blessing of the head of the armor, I can finally take a breath now, and I can eat enough with the head of the armor." ”

"What do you want from Captain A?"

Chen Xun asked again, and Liu Yan pointed to the room in front of him and said, "I requisitioned that room to use as a soap workshop. Then you tell everyone in the pier that no one is allowed to enter that room without my permission. ”

"Yes."

"In the evening, you will bring someone to bring the soap blanks in my house, put them in the shade of the house, and find me a lock."

Chen Xun nodded and wrote down, and immediately went to beckon for people.

Then Liu Yan said to Chen Jiang's family: "After dinner today, some of my brothers and sisters will find a few trustworthy family members to come to my house together, and I have something to tell you to do." Remember, it must be a trustworthy family member of the Dun Army. ”

Chen Xun is one year younger than Liu Yan, and he is only twenty-one, so Liu Yan directly calls Chen Jiang his younger sibling. This flattered Chen Jiang's family, and at this time he assured with a smile: "Captain Jia, rest assured, although when Liu Dayu was here, the family members in Dun were all alienated from me intentionally or unintentionally, but they still knew that I was a human being, and they also had some dealings with me in private. I will definitely handle this matter, and Chief A can rest assured. ”

Liu Yan nodded, and after all the orders were given, he went back to the house and waited for the results.

In the evening, Chen Xun had already moved all the soap blanks to Liu Dayu's room, and also found a half-new copper lock, Liu Yan was very satisfied with it, so he locked the door, and if it was tied with a thick rope, it was tied directly around his waist.

"Find a wooden board, write the words soap workshop and hang it here, and tell everyone in the pier that I have requisitioned this room, and no one can enter it except for your family and the reliable family members you have found."

Chen Xun nodded heavily and agreed.

Wang Yue also came over at this time, and after being busy today, he naturally knew that Liu Yan was going to do something, so he came over to get something to do.

Seeing this, Liu Yan said: "You should have also heard that I will make something called soap, this room is the soap workshop in the future, I will be busy here during this time, Wang Xiaoqi will take care of the things in the pier." ”

"Yes, this is all within the scope of the matter, although Captain A can rest assured."

Wang Yue was full of smiles, although Liu Yan excluded himself, but after all, he arranged things, and the situation was not too bad.

"During this period of time, Wang Xiaoqi was responsible for the lookout. Chen Xiaoqi, you and your people are ready to obey orders at any time, and you have to keep an eye on this side. ”

"Yes."

While he was talking, Chen Jiang came over with five Dunjun family members, and Liu Yan asked Chen Xun and Wang Yue to go and get busy.

"I've seen Captain A."

Liu Yan nodded, looked at everyone, and saw that the five people except Chen Jiang's family were all family members of the dun army assigned under Chen Xun, and one person was the family of a dun army under Liu Yan's command.

"Captain A, don't worry, these are all on good terms with me on weekdays, and they are all reliable."

Liu Yan nodded in approval, then unlocked and pushed open the door of the workshop, and beckoned everyone to follow him into the house.

"Look, this is soap."

"Ah, this is soap, huh? It's square and has some aroma. ”

"I heard what my family said, this is a unique secret recipe, much easier to use than soap, very valuable!"

Chen Jiang and several family members whispered, and Liu Yan could see that several people were very excited, praising the effectiveness of soap and complimenting themselves in a different way.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "From today on, this soap workshop will be temporarily in charge of the Chen family's younger brothers and sisters, and I will divide the labor for you in a while, and tell you the specific production method." ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, Liu Yan was able to hand over the soap making process to himself, which was a great thing. Especially Chen Jiang's family, such an important matter as the soap workshop is in charge of himself, Chen Jiang's eyes suddenly reddened, this new appointment made Chen Jiang's heart suddenly die for Liu Yan.

"I have opened up the market for this soap, and when you make money in the future, you can all receive your wages, and I can guarantee that with the soap business, you will not only live a better life than the other Dun army, but even better than most of the gentry in Wangjiazhuang!" But ......"

Just when a few people were happy, Liu Yan changed his words, put away the smile on his face, and said: "But you have to remember one thing, this soap is my Liu Yan's unique skill, and I told you the production process today, and I asked you to come over and contribute." If anyone dares to do something outside of eating, or wants to steal a skill and go out on their own, don't blame me for not explaining it in advance, I will turn my face and deny people when the time comes. No matter who it is, I promise to make her disappear from this world completely within three days! ”

Chen Jiang and several people looked at Liu Yan with a straight face, and a chill suddenly appeared in their hearts, and they were happy just now, and they almost forgot that Liu Yan was the first captain of this big plate, and he held the power of life and death of everyone in the pier.

Does Liu Dayu have any background? There was still no way to make any trouble, and the Chen Jiang clan who were present thought that they did not have Liu Dayu's ability and background, so they naturally did not dare to have any suspicions.

So Chen Jiang and several people saluted to show their loyalty, and after a while, Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction, and the smile returned to his face.

"Okay, now that the ugly words are finished, let's get down to business."

Liu Yan first called the four dun soldiers under Chen Xun and asked the four of them to guard the door, and no one was allowed to approach this room. Even the four dun soldiers at the door had to stand guard five paces away, and they couldn't get too close.

Then Liu Yancai brought Chen Jiang's people to the side of the soap blank, and first introduced the materials needed to make soap, as well as some utensils that needed to be used in the process.

"The main ingredients needed to make soap are plant ash and soybean oil, in addition to some rosin. You don't need to worry about soybean oil, I will go to Wangjiazhuang during this time to find an oil mill to supply it regularly, and someone will send it every month in the future. It's the same with rosin, and I send someone to buy it every month. There are two things that you need to be responsible for, one is to burn the ashes, and the other is the specific production process. ”

After speaking, Liu Yan designated three family members as a group and said, "You are specifically responsible for collecting plant ash. After the ashes are fired, they must be sifted through a basket, and they must be delicate and must not contain any impurities. ”

"Don't worry, I'll do my best."

"Yes, yes, we'll do a good job."

Then Liu Yan pointed to a family member and said, "You are responsible for boiling alkaline water......

Liu Yan handed over the precautions for boiling alkaline water to the family in detail, but Liu Yan did not tell everyone about adding soybean oil to mix and boil, this is a key step in making soap, Liu Yan decided to do it himself, and the specific ratio of notoginseng cannot be said, and it is better to leave some secrets in everything.

Liu Yan considered that in the future, when the soap workshop became bigger and he had cultivated some truly reliable henchmen, it would not be too late to hand over these things.

Then he said to the last family member: "You are responsible for drying, cutting, and packaging the soap blanks." It should be noted that after the soap is made, it is only a blank, and it needs to be left to dry in the shade for a month, and only after the water has evaporated can it be cut and packaged. ”

"Brother and sister of the Chen family, in addition to being in charge, you also have to be responsible for these things with her."

Chen Jiang said: "Captain A can rest assured, we will do our best to do a good job, and we will never let Captain A down." ”

"That's good."

Liu Yan then instructed everyone in detail from the beginning, and finally set a schedule for everyone to go to the soap workshop at three o'clock in the morning (about eight o'clock in the morning) to work, and at the end of the afternoon (about five o'clock in the afternoon).

"I will calculate your wages according to the monthly soap production and quality, as long as you work hard, I will never treat you badly."

Liu Yan said while feeling that at this time, he was like a future generation of company leaders, and he was painting a pie for his employees, which was really funny.

In the end, Liu Yan asked the rest of the people to go back first, and come to work on time tomorrow morning, but left Chen Jiang's alone, and said: "The younger brothers and sisters of the Chen family should come over early every morning, find me and get the key to open the door, lock the door after finishing work in the afternoon, and then hand the key back to me, understand?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Jiangshi hurriedly said: "This key is still kept by Chief A himself, if Chief Lao Jia comes to open and lock the door every day, I don't dare to handle it." ”

Liu Yan was very satisfied when he heard this, at least this Chen Jiang clan is a person who knows how to measure, and he is not carried away by the identity of a workshop master.

"Brother and sister of the Chen family don't have to think about it, I can trust you, and I will naturally not be so relieved if I am someone else."

When Chen Jiangshi heard this, he was immediately excited and said, "Okay! Since Captain A said it, then I will do it with all my heart, and I will definitely not live up to Captain A's trust. ”

After dealing with the affairs of the soap workshop, Liu Yan called Chen Xun to go back to the house together, and said: "The soap workshop will ship goods at the end of each month, and when the time comes, you will take your subordinates to go to Wangjiazhuang once a month to deliver the goods, and directly transport the soap of the month to the Baihu official hall." ”

"Captain A, don't worry."

"Hmm. You have to remember, you have to pay the money and goods twice a month, I will tell the manager in advance to settle this matter, you also have to remember when you deliver the goods, you can't see the money, even if the manager comes forward, you have to pull back the soap of the month. ”

Chen Xun said with a smile when he heard this: "I remember, if you don't see the silver, you can't give the goods, you can't be wrong." ”

After everything was arranged, Liu Yan thought that after this batch of soap was finally formed, he would have to go to the Baihu Government Hall again, and at the same time find a reliable oil mill to supply it.

Just when Liu Yan was thinking about this, Wang Yue came to report with a strange face: "Chief A, Liu Dayu is leaving." ”
