Mingmen Family

Chapter 200 Found it out
The tea factory is managed by Guanshi Cai.

The tea factory has always implemented the management system of tea masters leading apprentices.The apprentice's conduct, tea-making skills and even the family situation are all taken care of by the master.And these newly recruited apprentices were chosen by the masters, so Ye Chongming felt that there was no big problem here.

So Cao Dazhu saw that Guanshi Cai accepted the gift and nodded, and felt that the matter was very safe. After returning, he asked his grandson to pass a message to Cao Wu, telling him to be ready to enter the tea factory and not to take on other jobs in the near future .

When Cao Wu heard about it, he was so happy that he brought two more packs of snacks to thank Cao Dazhu.

Leaving Cao Dazhu's house, he didn't go home, but went to his friend Chen San's house, and said to him: "It's done, it's an apprentice."

Chen San was overjoyed immediately, and took out a piece of broken silver of one and a half yuan to him: "This is some money for you. Be good, and try to be selected to make jasmine tea. When your big cousin comes back, don't forget to go with him He asks for advice."

He looked around and lowered his voice: "If you can know how to make Longjing tea, they will give you this number."

As he spoke, he stretched out a slap.

Cao Wu's eyes lit up: "Five taels?"

"Hmph." Cao Wu gave him a sideways glance, "50 taels. If you know how to make real Longjing tea, 500 taels will be fine."

"But let me tell you," Cao Wu whispered, "Even if it's not Longjing tea but jasmine tea, you can get 500 taels of silver if you know the real method of making it.

Cao Wu gasped and rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Is it really safe?" He asked worriedly.

"What danger can there be?" Chen Sandao said, "Tell me, and I will tell others quietly, and no one will notice. So many people in the tea factory know how to make Longjing tea and jasmine tea, who knows who said it?"

"If we don't say it and someone else does, then the money will be made by others."

As he said that, he glanced at Cao Wu: "You are also 20 years old, I am one year older than you, the children can be soy sauce, and you are still a bachelor. If you quit, when will you marry a wife? "

He patted Cao Wu on the shoulder: "If I didn't work as a waiter in the teahouse, I would quit my job there and come to the tea factory to learn how to make tea. It would be suspicious, and I wouldn't need you."

Seeing that Cao Wu was silent, he said: "You and my wife are the only ones, I am a big family. I dare to do it, what are you afraid of? Let me tell you, this kind of thing is to die of boldness and starvation. Coward."

This sentence made Cao Wu finally make up his mind: "Success, I will do it."

……

On Ye Yaming's end, after finally dealing with her parents, and seeing off Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji, she planned to make jasmine tea.

"What? You want to buy people?" Ye Chongming and Ye Hongsheng knew that Ye Yaming didn't use people from the tea factory, but he wanted to buy people from outside to make jasmine tea. They couldn't understand it.

"Do you think those people in the tea factory are not trustworthy? Then why do you let them make Longjing tea?" Ye Chongming couldn't figure it out.

"Also, so many people are trying to find out the secret recipe of our Longjing tea. If you buy people outside, aren't you afraid that others will take the opportunity to send spies in?"

"I plan to let the people who make Longjing tea stay on the mountain forever, and let them go down the mountain after we have sold the recipes of Longjing tea." Ye Yaming said.

She looked at Ye Chongming: "Then do you know why I dare not let them go down the mountain and go home?"

Ye Chongming thought for a while, as if he had thought of something, his expression changed: "You mean their family members? But, how many generations of Zhuang slaves have they been, so they shouldn't betray the Ye family, right? Even if they have money, There is no way to spend it."

Zhuang slaves, like domestic slaves, cannot own their own private property according to the law, and even themselves and their children belong to the master's family.

But from a rational point of view, more pay for more work can motivate people to work hard.Whether they are house slaves or Zhuang slaves of the Ye family, they have obtained wealth through their hard work and wisdom, and lived a better life than other slaves.

This naturally breeds some people who want to get something for nothing.

As for Yejia tea, the original tea-making method is basically the same as that of other families, the difference is the small difference in the tea-making process, which is controlled by Ye Hongsheng by feeling.Even if someone came to inquire, they would not be able to find out anything.

Therefore, Ye Chongming did not do a good job in keeping secrets.It is a huge loophole to let Zhuang Nu's children go back and forth to find jobs in tea houses, tea houses, and tea factories.

Ye Yaming saw that Ye Chongming had figured it out, so he didn't say any more, just said: "The group of people I bought, whether they are other people's spies or not, as long as they are not allowed to contact the outside world, there will be no leakage of secrets." The problem."

"Besides, I don't plan to buy it in the name of the Ye family, but let the Qi family buy it for us. I have already told Mr. Qi about this matter, and he will let the steward of the Qi family come forward to help us, so don't bother Qi The magistrate and Mrs. Qi."

Hearing that the Qi family helped buy it, why is Ye Chongming worried?
Their business still has shares of the Qi family in it.You must know that Ye Yaming can say that the secret recipe of jasmine tea is not charged for their money, but given to them.

Those people who are now learning how to make tea with Ye Yaming will share half of it in autumn to make sweet-scented osmanthus tea for their cooperative business.

"That's good. I'm relieved to have the prefect's family involved."

At this time, Lue came in and said something in Ye Yaming's ear.

"Let him in." Ye Yaming said.

Lue went out, and then Zan'er walked in.

"How many were found?" Ye Yaming asked.

"Three."

"Which three? Tell me about their situation." Ye Yaming ordered.

"One is Wei Zheng's brother-in-law. He's a tea shop clerk. Someone saw the steward of Mr. Chen's house in the east of the city drink with him twice. Recently, he has quite a lot of money."

"One is Chen San, the employee of the tea house. He has been in touch with the managers of foreign businessmen from the capital several times recently. The other is Pan Dalin, the youngest son of Master Pan of the tea factory. He is in charge of the warehouse in the tea house. In the west of the city, the young servants of Master Zhang went to drink flower wine."

The more Ye Chongming heard it, the more ugly his face became.

Although he handed over the tea factory to his second son and the tea house to Ye Hongrong these years, Zhuang Nu has worked in the Ye family for generations, and he is very familiar with these people.Many people, he put them in that position.

Now, these people actually eat inside and out, helping outsiders to steal the Ye family's secret recipe for tea making.Fortunately, he still felt that Zhuang Nu would not betray the Ye family, and even objected to Ye Yaming's buying people from outside.

"Arrest them all, including their families. I want to ask, what can the Ye family do to them, they will do this." He said angrily.

The Ye family has always treated their servants very well.Compared with the servants of other families, the life of the servants of the Ye family is quite good.So Ye Chongming felt that even if there was a betrayal, it was only a few people.Most servants are still grateful.

But if you grab it casually, you will get three, and this is just the beginning.If you let it go, you don’t know how much there will be in the future.
