Chapter 124: Strange Atmosphere



After the three-day holiday, the workers in the workshop returned to their jobs one after another.

Seeing the increased number of workers and rooms, the old employees breathed a sigh of relief.

The papermaking industry line slowly began to flow.

Although the beginners are clumsy, I believe they will become proficient soon.

When Zhao Jun and Qing Liu arrived, Xiao He was already waiting at the door.

The gate, which had been quiet for three days, was now crowded with merchants coming to pick up their goods.

Xiao He stood in the corner and looked at the crowded crowd.

Zhao Jun quickly found him and took him into the workshop.

"Xiao He, let me introduce you first. This is Qing Liu, the owner of the workshop. She is the one who is currently in charge of the operation of the workshop."

Xiao He glanced at the girl next to him and felt surprised.

This girl looks very young, and she is a girl. Is she the one who runs the entire workshop?

Qingliu nodded at him as a greeting.

After that, Xiao He had no time to think about anything else.

Because his attention was completely attracted by the workers' actions.

Especially when I saw the snow-white papers drying in the sun, I was completely speechless.

"I thought the process for making white paper would be more complicated than that for making inferior paper, but it turns out the output of white paper is about the same as that of inferior paper."

Xiao He muttered in shock as he looked at the pile of white papers in the corner.

Because the price of white paper was much higher than that of inferior paper, he thought that the output of white paper was relatively small.

But this is obviously not the case now, given the high production volume and price of white paper.

Xiao He could already imagine the daily revenue this workshop could generate.

Xiao He followed Qingliu in a daze throughout the entire tour.

Of course, Zhao Jun did not take him to see the key papermaking process, after all, the patent had to be guaranteed.

But this alone was enough to shock Xiao He.

Zhao Jun rubbed his hands and could already imagine the scene of Xiao He joining her army.

Finally, Qingliu brought Xiao He to where she usually worked.

Zhao Jun sat on the chair next to him and admired Xiao He's shocked face.

By this time, Xiao He had recovered.

He stared straight at Zhao Jun.

"The amount of money created here every day is probably a huge amount."

"Um."

Zhao Jun smiled and raised his chin slightly frivolously.

"So, what do I need to do next?"

Xiao He spoke calmly.

Zhao Jun didn't expect that he would make the decision so quickly. He really knows how to deal with the current situation.

"Well, nothing for now. If you want, you can follow Qingliu to familiarize yourself with the operation of the workshop."

This is really the job that Xiao He likes most.

"Excuse me Miss Qingliu, I will bother you more often in the future."

Xiao He bowed humbly towards Qingliu.

Very good, I recruited a capable assistant without any effort, perfect.

The operation of the workshop is back on track, and the fish in the fish pond have been sold out. The next batch will have to wait until October.

After completing the inspection of all matters, Zhao Jun enjoyed the fish feast she had been longing for for a long time.

Tofu fish soup, braised fish, grilled fish pot, and fresh shrimp paste.

In Zhiyang Palace, Zhao Jun and Qing Liu ate until their bellies were full.

"Sir, this shrimp is delicious, even better than fish, and it doesn't have any fishy smell at all."

Qingliu said with a satisfied look on his face.

"Yeah, shrimp is just tastier than fish."

Zhao Jun slumped motionlessly in the chair.

"But, my lord, why didn't you give it to the king?"

It’s no wonder Qingliu asked this. Whenever there was something good, Zhao Jun would always take it from the kitchen to the king.

"Yes, I gave the kitchen a batch of fresh fish and shrimp this morning and asked them to prepare it and send it to the king at noon."

I used to give them away to please my boss.

Now that the boss has been appeased, it's time to avoid suspicion.

On the other side, Ying Zheng also received lunch sent from the kitchen.

"Your Majesty, we have fresh fish and shrimp today. Lord Zhao specially ordered the kitchen to prepare them."

Sun Cheng set the table and conveyed what he had just heard from the servants.

"Well, where is she?"

Ying Zheng put down the memorial and only saw lunch on the table, but no one.

"Uh, the people below said that Lord Zhao is busy and can't come in person, so they asked them to bring lunch."

Sun Cheng lowered his head and answered carefully.

"Busy with work? She could be busier than me."

Ying Zheng said lightly.

Sun Cheng almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Is the king angry or complaining?

Ying Zheng finished his meal quietly and alone.

Every time there is something new, she would deliver it personally. This time, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable without her.

It seems that these fresh fish and shrimp are not very delicious.

"What has she been busy with lately?"

Ying Zheng didn't say who it was, but Sun Cheng certainly understood.

"Well, I heard that he went on an inspection after he came back. The workshop stopped working for three days, and then he harvested a batch of fish in the fish pond in Weishui."

"Oh, and it seems he has accepted a retainer, who is now working in the workshop with Ms. Qing."

Sun Cheng narrated everything one by one, and there were few things in Xianyang that Ying Zheng did not know.

"Guest? Who?"

Ying Zheng glanced sideways. Could it be another talented person?

"It is said that his name is Xiao He, a young man from Chu, who has been staying in Xianyang for more than ten days."

Young man?

Ying Zheng frowned.

He thought that with Zhao Jun's personality, she would be more willing to recruit female retainers.

"Send someone to check the origins of this Xiao He."
