Chapter 270 Ning Yuanchen sent a letter to the Ning family, Xiao Ying started to build a food workshop
Ning Yuanchen, who confirmed the news, took Xiao Qing and his wife back to the county government office and threw them directly into jail.
During lunch, he told Ning Yuanze about this. Ning Yuanze was furious. He didn't expect that their guess was true.
"I plan to have Ying Heng return to the capital and personally tell my uncle and grandfather about this to see how they react."
Ning Yuanchen sighed. Now that the matter was confirmed, troubles followed. He would probably be busy from now on.
"Well, no matter what, we should let our family know." Ning Yuanze nodded in agreement.
When the time comes, grandpa and the others will naturally tell my aunt, and then we will see what my aunt plans to do.
My uncle-in-law and his two sons are all in Beizhou. The Jing Kingdom in the north is always restless and often harasses the border. Sometimes they can only go home once every two or three years.
After making the decision, Ning Yuanchen wrote a letter and asked Ying Heng to hand it to Prime Minister Ning personally.
Ying Heng rode back to Shangjing at full speed that day. The two places were very far apart, and it would take at least four or five days to go back.
What follows is a long wait.
At this time in Shangjing, Chen Ning's family was like ants on a hot pan, extremely anxious.
It has been nearly ten days since the killers set out, but there is still no news. This situation seems like an accident.
But Chen Ning and others were unwilling to believe it. They had spent 100,000 taels of silver to hire five great masters. How could they fail in killing a few civilians?
Until the last moment, Chen Ning and others did not want to accept this result.
"Don't worry, they might have been delayed on the way. Maybe there will be news tomorrow."
Qi Yuping patted Chen Ning's shoulder and comforted him calmly.
Chen Ning nodded, but was not as optimistic as him.
If, if he really failed... Qi Yuping would definitely be even more angry with him and even more disappointed in him.
Wait two more days, no, three days, if there is still no news after waiting for three more days, he must make other plans.
Chen Ning didn't know that the five people he hired had already been recruited by Xiao Ying.
In the past two days, Xiao Ying has been planning the food workshop.
Her food workshop is quite large and can produce at least ten kinds of food, most of which are not available in this era.
For example, crayfish, jelly, cold skin, rice noodles, rice noodles, konjac, tofu, fermented tofu, preserved eggs, potato chips, potato omelets, etc.
In this case, more than ten workshops would have to be built, and dozens of workers would be needed.
In addition, she had to open several new shops, both in the town and the county. She also wanted to open one in the state capital, but the distance was too far and the products shipped there would no longer be fresh, so she had to give up.
Some of these delicacies need to be made in the shop, while others can be made in the workshop and delivered to the town and county every day.
Apart from crayfish, she plans to concentrate the rest of the delicacies in one food shop so that customers can buy whatever they want, and it will also be more conducive to publicity.
After the design drawings were planned, Kang Ruolan was asked to go to the county government to register them that day, and He Changgui was responsible for recruiting people, mainly villagers.
A few days ago, Chen Jie brought back another 30 households, a total of 217 victims, and they are temporarily living in Xiao Ying's temporary chili workshop.
Although it was a bit crowded, everyone was very grateful.
After five or six days, more than ten households had built thatched houses, and the rest were also working on it.
When the victims heard that Xiao Ying was going to build a workshop, offering a daily wage of 50 cents, a lunch included, and recruiting at least one person from each family, they were overjoyed and immediately signed up.
What's even better is that there are many talented people among these disaster victims. Of course, this was ordered by Xiao Ying and specially selected by Chen Jie.
Among the more than two hundred people, there was an old scholar, a young student, and a well-educated woman.
This woman was none other than the old scholar's daughter. As she was his only child, he doted on her since she was young and taught her to read and write, thinking that it would be a good idea for her to become a female teacher in the future.
With these three people, plus the three from Xiao Ying, the academy has at least six teachers.
In addition, there are two doctors, one who knows some martial arts, and several others with other skills.
These people were very happy to settle down in the village where Mrs. Xiao lived, and they were extremely satisfied after arriving in the village.
Therefore, in less than an hour, He Changgui recruited more than 40 people, which was enough to build a food workshop.
The food workshop is planned to be located next to the soap workshop and is also built with cement, so there is no need to buy bricks, saving money.
The workshop started construction that afternoon. He Changgui was in charge of the construction. In addition, Xiao Ying also sent Guanqi to supervise the work and report back in time if there was anything needed.
"Third brother, I plan to open a gourmet food workshop. Construction started yesterday. I want you to be in charge of this workshop. What do you think?"
The next day, Xiao Ying asked someone to invite Chen Tong and asked directly.
This was a decision she made after careful consideration.
Chen Tong was previously responsible for transporting spicy sesame oil and had opened several shops to purchase chili peppers. He was already very familiar with the county town and his horizons had broadened a lot.
Most importantly, she thought he was trustworthy, at least more trustworthy than the servants who had just arrived and Li Qian.
She thought she could give him a chance.
Chen Tong was shocked at the time. What did his second sister-in-law say? She wanted him to manage a workshop? She must be joking!
A workshop involves dozens or even hundreds of people, and handles tens of thousands of taels of silver every month. Second sister-in-law used to let Xinghai and Xingyun manage it, and later she let a trusted servant take over.
This time, he was given the opportunity?
He was suddenly filled with joy and excitement, afraid that he might think he was dreaming.
If he doesn't seize such a good opportunity, he would be a fool!
"Second sister-in-law, I am willing! As long as you trust me, I will definitely manage this workshop well!"
Chen Tong wanted to laugh out loud. He never thought that there would be such a day. Even if he was dreaming, he would not dare to have such a beautiful dream.
His cheeks flushed with excitement. Although it was not his own workshop, he was still the manager, which was much more powerful than running a shop!
Xiao Ying smiled, very satisfied with his reaction. She liked people who were daring and enterprising.
"In that case, the Gourmet Workshop will be handed over to you for management. I have listed the detailed information here."
She handed Chen Tong a booklet, which contained the plan she had written herself.
"Take it and have a look at it first. Tell me any comments or suggestions you have. If there are no problems, just follow the instructions."
Chen Tong took the booklet in both hands as if it were a treasure, flipped through a page or two, and then stood there in a daze.
There are so many delicious foods to be made in my second sister-in-law’s workshop, and many of them are unheard of or seen before.
The shop to be planned is also very large, and there are some detailed decoration requirements.
If we really follow this, we will definitely become famous quickly and become popular in Yun'an County.
The more he looked, the more excited he became. What on earth was going on with Second Sister-in-law's brain? How could she come up with so many delicious dishes?
Although these things are not expensive, I believe it is no problem to make hundreds of taels of silver a day by selling them at a low profit margin.
"Second sister-in-law, this plan is really good, but it doesn't mention where the raw materials come from. I wonder..."
After reading two more pages, he suddenly realized the problem. He had never heard of several of the ingredients written by his second sister-in-law. Where should he find them?
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry about the raw materials. Third brother, have you forgotten the two mountains I bought? In fact, I already hired some people to open up wasteland and cultivate the land. Among them, there are several crops newly discovered in the mountains."
"According to the timetable, it should be ripe in a while, just in time for the food workshop to open."
This was half true and half false. She did hire people to farm the land, but the seeds were from the Immortal Palace, and it would take two months for the crops to mature.
However, the crops in the Immortal Mansion have already piled up like mountains. Anyway, when the time comes, she can just have someone send the raw materials to the workshop, and the workshop will just need to register them.
