Chen Ze pondered that it was no wonder that the palace would let Li Yuankang be the head of the guard.

Lack of heart.

It is true that the head of the guard can't be more mindful, otherwise it is easy to have an accident, and it is more likely to devour the master.

Of course, such a lack of heart and eye can be regarded as one in ten thousand.

After Qin Boyang explained, many people had already signed contracts and received the prepaid salaries.

If this matter was organized by Chen Ze himself, it was naturally unlikely that many people would sign it.

Giving so much money must make people feel that they are not doing a good thing, not to mention that they are honest and responsible.

But Qin Boyang is naturally different, he has accumulated many years of credibility and character to vouch for it, and everyone knows the roots, so it is naturally easy to trust.

There are those who have signed, and there are those who have no intention of signing.

Some feel that the risk is too big and they are afraid of being pitted, after all, the common people are disadvantaged groups these days, Chen Ze's style of looking at the children of rich families, even if he is a debtor at that time, he can only be dumb and eat coptis.

Who has the ability to sue them?

What if I fix you in private?

Some don't sign because they don't want to give up their ancestral craftsmanship, after all, they are counting on their craftsmanship for a lifetime.

Church apprentices, starving masters to death is a true portrayal of this era.

Chen Ze didn't pick up people, everyone should eat and drink, if you don't make up your mind, you can go home and discuss with your family and then go to Erli Alley tomorrow, and those who have signed a contract can prepare, and you don't have to do business tomorrow, just take the guy who eats by yourself to Erli Alley to gather.

If you have reserve raw materials, you can also bring them directly, and Chen Ze will buy them at the original price, so you will not suffer a loss.

In the end, a total of 23 people signed contracts on the spot, and a few people planned to go home to consider it.

Anyway, everything that should be explained was explained, and Chen Ze let everyone disperse.

As soon as the others left, Qin Boyang still felt that this deal was always a bit uneconomical.

"This is five taels of silver a month...... Isn't it too high? Qin Boyang smiled bitterly: "How can you afford this?" ”

Chen Ze didn't explain too much, just reached out and patted Qin Boyang's shoulder and said, "I can't bear the child's wolf." ”

In fact, Chen Ze has been trying to recall this ancient method of making white sugar today, it seems to use yellow mud to filter, and it seems to be yellow mud precipitation, the only thing that can be determined is that yellow mud is definitely needed here.

If it doesn't work, everyone will find a way together, and the ideas and directions will be there, which is nothing more than all kinds of trial and error.

Not a big problem.

Early the next morning, the vendors who signed the contract came to Erli Alley with their belongings for dinner.

Most of them have their own tools for sugar making, and some have been passed down from their ancestors.

Qin Boyang had already rented a yard in Erli Alley yesterday, and the price was affordable, three dollars a month, and the price of friendship fractures.

The yard is quite large, but it is already deserted, and weeds have grown on the ground.

Let the palace agents come over to clean up, and bring the vendors over one after another.

There were two people who came, and they decided to sign a contract after discussing with the family last night, and they also came early in the morning with their belongings and contracts, and all twenty-five people gathered in the yard, barely stuffed.

"In the future, this is where we make candy, do you see that wooden sign hanging? The working hours have been set, and when the time comes, you should go home to eat, rest when you should rest, don't tire yourself, and combine work and rest. ”

"Our company...... Ahem, the workshop is created, so it will not be for food for the time being, and when there is income in the future, I will rent a few more yards for you to eat and rest. ”

Everyone bowed their heads one after another, but their expressions became more and more strange.

You don't feel like you've asked us to do the work, you feel like you've come to ask us to be your uncle.

"That...... Landlord? ”

"You say."

"What the hell are we going to do here?"

"Sugar!" Chen Ze said: "But the candy I want to make is different from the candy you recognize!" ”

"Neither jaggery nor official sugar."

Chen Ze Zhengse said: "This is a lost craft fragment I got, and the sugar I got in the end is like snow frost, crystal clear, and the sweetness is pure, but now the trouble is because it is a fragment, and some places are missing, so we need everyone to follow together to find a way, let's drum out this sugar." ”

"One of the things that is necessary for this craft is yellow clay." Chen Ze thought for a while and added: "As for the specific operation method, it has been lost, but I think it is nothing more than a few ways. ”

"Filtration, precipitation, adsorption, distillation......"

They are all craftsmen, and they don't necessarily know these proper nouns, but Chen Ze understood them immediately as soon as he explained.

One of them hurriedly said: "Owner, isn't the adsorption you said decolorized?" When I make my own sugar, I add something, and the color of the sugar will be lighter, but I really haven't seen it become the snow-white color that the owner said, which is like frost. ”

"Really? What did you add? ”

The other party smiled awkwardly, but said: "Owner, this eating skill can be said casually!" Not to mention ......"

The other party glanced at the people beside him, these are all peers, everyone has their own crafts, in case they learn it, they won't have anything to eat after that.

Although everyone is gathered together, at the moment, it is estimated that they are only doing their own work, and it is unlikely that they will find a way to study it together.

Minor issues, though.

"So, how about I make a little trick for everyone?"

"Huh? The owner, why is it suddenly going to change a little trick? ”

"Let's liven up the atmosphere!"

Chen Ze smiled and beckoned to the secret agent beside him.

The secret agent was a little unclear, but he still hurriedly came to Chen Ze and bowed slightly: "Young master? ”

"Take off your coat."

"Yes!"

The agent hurriedly untied his coat, and everyone looked at each other with a puzzled expression.

It wasn't until the secret agent revealed the white tiger robe inside that the group of craftsmen suddenly turned pale and frightened.

Chen Ze stretched out his hand and pointed to another secret agent: "You also took off your coat!" ”

"Yes!"

Another agent hurriedly untied his coat, revealing a brocade robe and a large white tiger robe.

Seeing that this group of sugar craftsmen were still talking and laughing just now, they were all trembling with fright at this moment, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, Chen Zecai opened his mouth slowly: "You recognize all the clothes here, right?" ”

"Recognize ...... Recognize...... Recognize...... Recognize ......"

"Speak well, why are you still stammering?"

"Recognize, recognize!"

"Then you can talk about your respective crafts, right?"

A group of people nodded wildly.

"You'll find out who I am." Chen Ze dangled in front of everyone with his hands behind his back: "Don't worry, work hard, the money that should be given to you is not only a lot, but more and more." ”

"Let's work together to get the candy I want as soon as possible."

"Do things for me sincerely, in the future, I will be your backer, and no one will dare to bully you." Chen Ze changed his words, and Sen Ran smiled: "But if you dare to cheat and play tricks on me, and you have nothing to do, I will send you to see King Yama!" ”
