The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 33
"So boring, so boring..."

In the tent, Gan Tiantian was lying on the bed in a large shape, moaning silently.

"Xiao Ji, why is being an apprentice so boring?"

"I don't know, I have never been an apprentice." Ji Bingyun replied lightly.

The expected cold answer caused Gan Tiantian's little heart to suffer another severe blow, and now he didn't even have the strength to moan.

Every day since the cock crows, they have been sweeping, unpacking, lighting the fire, and grinding in the workshop. They are simply using them as mules!

Didn't they say to recruit female apprentices to do fine work?Why are some of their new apprentices still working as coolies like the male apprentices, returning to bed after taking a shower every night, so tired that they can't even move their fingers...

At this time, Gan Tiantian can only paralyze himself with old chicken soups such as "everything is difficult at the beginning", "hardship is hard, and only then can one become a master", "after the storm, there will be a rainbow".

Anyway, these hardships are really "self-inflicted" by her.

I could be a rice bug at home comfortably, my uncle loves me, my brother loves me, I have a house and a field, and I have saved 1000 taels of private money in private... How beautiful and beautiful the small life is!
In the end, in order to plan for the so-called rainy day, and because he was not willing to be mediocre, marry and have children and spend his life, he insisted on being this troublesome apprentice.

So the old ancestor was right, the evils committed by the sky are still forgiven, but the evils committed by oneself cannot be lived...

Gan Tiantian fell asleep in a daze of thoughts like this.

No matter where they are in the workplace, rookies are always pushed around by their seniors.Even if Yujinfang didn't deliberately mistreat them, life for the new apprentices was really difficult.

In fact, Gan Tiantian could bear the physical fatigue, but it was the fact that she couldn't learn anything after a day of hard work that disappointed her the most.

Among the four workshops A, B, C, and D of Yujinfang, the A-brand stores are almost all warehouses, and the chief manager is the kind-hearted Master Qiao. Unfortunately, Gan Tiantian has hardly seen him since he started working.

Among the remaining three workshops, the B workshop is the most core and the most luscious, because this part is in charge of the fragrance mixing and blending in the incense workshop.All the incense products in Yujinfang are produced in the B-brand workshop, and then sold to many incense shops in the city and in the countryside.

The cheap incense, incense sticks, sachets, seasonings, etc. used by the common people in the market and the villagers are all from folk incense houses like Tujinfang.

Master Wei, the general manager of the B-brand, is a middle-aged man with a yellow and thin face. He treats people harshly.

The remaining two workshops, Bing and Ding, process the original spices for the fragrance distribution of B brand.

The stewards of these two workshops are all women.The person in charge of the C-brand name is Aunt Xu, and she is over forty by visual estimation.She is quite keen on applying rouge, powder, combing her hair and makeup, she looks like thirty people from a distance.

And Aunt Chen, the chief steward of the T-brand shop, is the youngest of the four stewards, about thirty years old, still dressed as a sister-in-law, not a real person.

It is said that many perfume craftsmen never marry for life, and it is not uncommon for them to adopt a few adopted children to die.It's not just female perfumers, but also embroidered mothers and canniangs who never marry.

These women are often from humble backgrounds and support the whole family on their own.The world is also quite tolerant of this, and there are few gossips. The folk customs of the Great Xiao are quite humane in this regard.

Since entering the workshop, Gan Tiantian and others have been working in Aunt Xu's workshop.But the person who directly manages them is Master Zhu under Mrs. Xu.

"Oh my god, my waist is about to break."

Tao Tao's facial features were all wrinkled in one place, she sat down beside Gan Tiantian moaning, and kept beating her waist and legs. "Master Zhu is too strict. We have to grind for an hour before we can rest for a quarter of an hour. Ouch, my feet are so numb..."

"Shh!"

Gan Tiantian hurriedly made a silent gesture, Tao Tao just talks too fast!The workshop is full of people, how dare she complain about Master Zhu?Are you looking for abuse?
Tao Tao stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to continue talking.In the morning, Master Zhu scolded some of the apprentices who were a little slower, but she was actually quite afraid of him.

Although she was persuaded by her mother to become an apprentice because of the large number of children in the family, she never did such heavy work when she was at home.Tao Tao looked at her red and swollen fingers distressedly, and said to Gan Tiantian in a low voice, "Tada, let's go to the kitchen to find some hot water to soak hands and feet tonight, hiss...it hurts..."

"Well, let's ask Auntie Cook for some salt."

"salt?"

"Yes, soaking feet in hot water and salt can relieve fatigue..."

Suddenly, a few brooms and a pile of rags were thrown at their feet, and a shrill female voice interrupted their conversation.

"You two are being lazy again!"

Ok?
Tao Tao jumped up quickly, and choked with the other party angrily: "Sister Meier, we are resting, how can we be lazy?"

"Do you still dare to talk back?"

Standing across from them with her hips akimbo was the square-faced girl who had come to their room to find fault with her on the first day. Her surname was Shao and her name was Meier.

Shao Meier raised her chin, pointed to the cleaning tools on the ground, and said with a sneer, "I just moved the goods, and there are a lot of bundles and ropes waiting to be cleaned. Everyone is busy, but you guys will hide!"

"Hey you……"

"Okay, okay." Gan Tiantian quickly grabbed Tao Tao, lowered his head and picked up the cleaning tools, and went to work while pulling Tao Tao.

"What's the point of being angry with that kind of person?"

Gan Tiantian comforted Tao Tao and said, "It's not that you don't know that she has nothing to do and picks on us. There is no need to quarrel with her. If the masters are provoked, we will suffer."

"I just don't accept it..." Tao Tao was straightforward, but not stupid, of course she understood that they would suffer even more if they really made trouble. "Oh, forget it, Tiantian, you can hold your breath."

"I'm just too lazy to argue with boring people."

Gan Tiantian smiled and went to work.

After coming here for a few days, she has already seen why some of the old apprentices represented by Shao Meier don't like them.

Because none of them passed the county-level incense workshop test some time ago-if they passed the test, they would naturally not be in Yujinfang.

Firstly, they were hit by the test, and secondly, they heard that the owner of the workshop was not satisfied with the qualifications of the female apprentices in this workshop. This time, they specially selected a few good ones to train, how could they be convinced?

Broad-minded people, such as Yue Ming and the other elder sisters, would not make things difficult for the newcomers.Shao Meier, who participated in the test for the first time, was full of resentment, and wanted to torment the newcomers to vent their anger.

Knowing the cause and effect of the matter, Gan Tiantian would not talk to Shao Meier.Let them be cold!
The two of them had just cleaned up the rubbish next to a large pile of sacks when they suddenly heard Master Zhu yelling, "What's going on here? Who wet the sacks?"

what?
Gan Tiantian and Tao Tao hurriedly stopped and looked at Master Zhu together.

The next moment, she felt that her face was windy, and she slapped her with a slap!
