Chapter 404 What a Strange Man

Si Sheng said: "Not only can the secret recipe not be leaked, but also our ability to make sugar must not be known to others. Miss Hong has already taken confidentiality measures, so we have to keep our mouths shut here."

Mrs. Wang nodded vigorously and agreed: "Yes, yes, everyone has learned a lesson about Dougan, and there will be no mistakes this time."

Si Sheng talked to Mrs. Wang about the manpower arrangement, "We are going to start making sugar. We must first determine the candidates for the job. It is easy to choose the person who will make the sugar. Whoever is free can be hired. There are four sugar makers.

I have to be more careful when choosing people. Men have to work in the fields, so I thought about using as few men as possible, just two, and then find two women to do the work."

When she heard that a woman was needed, Mrs. Wang unconsciously stopped what she was doing.

Si Sheng continued: "Mom, I want my eldest brother to be in charge of the sugar workshop, and also be responsible for making sugar. Plus my sister-in-law and Mr. Zhao and his wife, it will be enough for four people to make sugar. Do you think that's okay?"

"

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised and said: "If you let two outsiders make sugar, don't they know the secret recipe? Wang Xiaozi and Junni do a good job, why do you need Mr. Zhao and his wife to do it?"

"

Si Sheng said: "Boy Wang and Xue'er, I have other arrangements. Mom, our business will be more and more in the future. We will definitely not be able to do it just by our own family. These nine families have passed by with us."

Life and death, aren't they the same as our own family members? Why should we be worried?"

Mrs. Wang was a little unable to answer the questions asked by Si Sheng, but she still said: "But..., your brothers and sisters-in-law obviously still have people to spare, so you arranged for outsiders to do such an important thing. Isn't it inappropriate?"

"

"Mom, listen to me, I have plans for everyone in our family."

Si Sheng briefly told Mrs. Wang her thoughts, and Mrs. Wang had a clear idea. Thinking about it in retrospect, those are things for the future. She was still a little confused about the arrangement in front of her.

Thinking about the character of Mr. Zhao and his wife, Mrs. Wang reluctantly accepted it.

Mrs. Wang said: "As a big family like ours, we are going to be very busy in the future. There must be someone in the house who can cook and cook. Only your sister-in-law can pay more attention to these things. If she also goes out to work...

, otherwise, let the younger one follow your elder brother."

Si Sheng originally wanted the next generation to learn more and wait a few years before considering their development direction. Now that Mrs. Wang has brought it up and considering that the eldest son is not very interested in reading and writing on weekdays,

He said, "That's okay. The eldest son is sixteen this year, so he's almost a young man. But it's still a bit difficult for him to work in the fields as a full-time laborer. Let him learn to make sugar."

Early the next morning, Hong Yaxin came again, but this time she only brought two entourages, and she was dressed very simply. Those who didn't know thought she was the daughter of a wealthy family in a certain village.

When Hong Yaxin arrived, Lu Youqing's family was having breakfast. She had already eaten and went to find Wang Zeran. She only asked Lu Wang to lead the way and left the Lu family's yard without taking any followers.

At this time, Wan Xiangguang and the others had already come to work, and the men were busy filling in soil and ramming walls. Hong Yaxin watched with interest for a while, and then followed Lu Wang and continued to walk to Ye's house.

Before he reached the place, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter. Lu Wang took a few steps and saw a group of people gathered outside the sugar workshop. Mrs. Wang, Suixin's wife, Mr. He and Mr. Yang were all there.

Everyone is looking at the crowd and laughing.

Hong Yaxin asked curiously: "What are they doing? Let's go and see too."

Seeing that Hong Yaxin had already run behind those people, Lu Wang hurriedly followed them.

In the middle of the crowd, there was a simple pot stove and a small chopping board. Wang Zeran and Suxue were busy inside.

Wang Zeran raised his head and saw Hong Yaxin and Lu Wang. He was about to say hello when he suddenly saw Hong Yaxin waving his hand and winking. He turned his head and concentrated on watching Suxue slicing noodles in front of the chopping board.

Sui Xin's wife praised: "Juni's cut is quite good, very good."

Mrs. Wang laughed at the side, "You are still praising her. She even dropped the rolling pin just now. If Mr. Wang hadn't learned quickly, he wouldn't be able to roll out the dough now. Then Miss Hong might not be able to eat it until nightfall."

They made snacks."

Hong Yaxin's eyes flashed, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. This kid Ze'er really made her snacks himself.

Si Sheng squatted in front of the stove, added a handful of firewood to the bottom of the stove, and called Wang Zeran, "Wang boy, come and test the oil temperature. This temperature is fine."

Wang Zeran followed Si Sheng's example, put his hand on top of the oil pan, nodded and said, "I understand, then I will fry the noodles now?"

Seeing Si Sheng nodding, Wang Zeran put Suxue's cut noodles into the oil pan and stirred them slowly with a colander.

While lighting the fire, Si Sheng said to Wang Zeran and the women around him: "When frying the noodles, you have to use a low heat. Just fry them until they are eighty or nine times cooked. You will have to return the pot to the pot after a while, so you can't fry them too much."

"

Hong Yaxin stood behind the crowd and looked at Si Sheng with complicated eyes. Can this Ye Xiucai make snacks? Did he really make the snacks he ate yesterday?! He was teaching Ze'er and these women right now.

Make some snacks?

Seeing that he is a grown man and a scholar, he is gentle, polite but affectionate towards these village women, without any dislike or impatience.

Hong Yaxin curled up his lips, he was really a strange man.

Hong Yaxin was sighing in her heart when Lu Wang suddenly tugged on her lapel, "Aunt Hong, Cousin Wang and the others are making snacks for you, let's not disturb them, right?"

The snacks these people made with sugar were something she had never seen elsewhere. From Hong Yaxin's business perspective, if these were sold in the market, the business would definitely be prosperous. However, Ye Xiucai refused her request for cooperation.

He has his own arrangements.

If they want to start their own dim sum business, then the production method is their trade secret. How could Hong Yaxin not understand after having been in business for so many years?

Si Sheng and the others were all engrossed in making snacks and did not notice that Hong Yaxin and Lu Wang came quietly and left quietly.

When Wang Zeran and Suxue made snacks and sent them to Lu's house, Hong Yaxin had been waiting for a long time and couldn't wait.

After watching the process of making dim sum, Sui Xin and his wife closed the stall and hurriedly went to make lunch for the craftsman who was building the wall.

Si Sheng also went to Sui Xin and Wan Xiang Guang to check on the progress of the wall construction.

Mrs. Wang returned to the thatched house alone. Before she could sit down and take a breath, Mrs. Niu came over.

The two old ladies sat in the sun and whispered.
