The Golden County Magistrate

Long before the decision to open franchise, Chen Yan had already started to prepare for the mass production of milk tea.

Previously, Yao Chi Xian Niang was brewed by him personally, firstly to ensure the initial quality, and secondly to test various concentrations, sweetness, different flavors, etc.

Now the test is basically completed, and with the start of franchising, when the franchise stores are renovated and officially opened, the demand will increase greatly, and it is not realistic to rely on him alone.

Franchise stores everywhere almost started to renovate at the same time, with a unified style that copied the style of the head office, and the store name was also unified as Yao Chi Xian Niang, but with an additional number.

Moreover, this matter made He Jinyao a small profit. Although Zhou's Chamber of Commerce originally had no decoration team, the Ministry of Households had a good relationship with the Ministry of Industry. With the latter's connections, it was easy to form more than ten teams in a short period of time to undertake the decoration of stores in Beijing and several surrounding cities.

Even the materials used for decoration were purchased and provided through the channels of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce.

Although these are small sums compared to the money earned from Yao Chi Xian Niang, they can still make tens of thousands of taels of silver.

It is estimated that some shops will be open in half a month at most.

Before that, one of Chen Yan's major tasks is to train enough skilled workers to increase the output of milk tea.

He produces and uses several raw materials, such as tea and sugar, by himself. In addition, for this business, he spent a lot of money to open up a piece of land and built a ranch of more than a thousand acres, and bought thousands of milk-producing cattle and sheep in several times.

The Great Zhou has not yet introduced dairy cows, and the milk production is quite limited.

Chen Yan once considered going to sea and importing some dairy cows from the far west.

However, the current navigation technology is poor, and the ships manufactured can sail in lakes and rivers without any problems, but they cannot sail into the sea.

Lu Qing'er's brother Lu San narrowly escaped death when he went to sea because the ship he was riding had an accident.

So for now, he can only rely on local livestock and sheep.

Under the limited supply, it is still enough for the time being.

He bought the house next to the sugar factory and used it as a milk tea factory temporarily. He broke through the walls of the rooms inside and transformed it into a production workshop. He recruited 20 clever young people to train the skills of making milk tea.

But after all, it was a new thing, and everyone's speed of getting started was not ideal, and they made mistakes frequently.

There was no way, they still needed more practice.

These two days, these workers were scolded by him a lot, but no one had any objections, after all, the salary offered was enough to satisfy them.

"Keep practicing!"

"Whoever makes the first pot that satisfies this lord will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver!"

"Ten taels for the second place, five taels for the third place!"

Chen Yan turned around and shouted.

"Sir, what about the fourth place?"

A young man was very excited and asked.

"Fourth place? Give me two taels!"

Chen Yan had a straight face.

The young man was dumbfounded: "Ah?"

I have never seen anyone who has to pay the boss money to work!

Chen Yan continued, "And not just the fourth place, but everyone from the fifth place onwards will have to pay two taels of silver!"

Everyone was very upset.

So the bonuses he gave to the top three were all paid by everyone after the fourth place!

Wait, that's not right.

After giving out the bonuses, it seems that he still has a few taels left!

"What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied? Then get out of here so that I can recruit new people!"

Chen Yan glared at everyone.

Everyone was shocked and hurried to continue their work.

Outside the workshop, Bai Lu was completely confused.

She came to inform Chen Yan of the results of the franchise and to deliver the silver bills according to Tang Yun's order.

When she arrived, the yamen runner said that the master was not there and pointed her here.

However, although the guard at the door let her in, he did not allow her to enter the workshop and only asked her to wait in the yard.

She didn't stand there for long before she heard Chen Yan scolding at least three people inside.

That's fine, but this guy actually used other people's money as a bonus, he's simply not a human being!

These workers are also strange. If it were her, she would have fallen out with Chen a long time ago, but they can still swallow their anger!

Alas, the people of Qingshan County are indeed only happy and wealthy on the surface.

In fact, they are being oppressed by this guy, but they dare not say anything because of his official power.

Well, it must be like this!

When Bai Lu was thinking about it, the door of the workshop opened, and a thin young man walked out, closed the door with his backhand, and walked quickly to the other corner of the yard.

Bai Lu had an idea and stopped him.

The young man said in astonishment: "Girl, why are you stopping me?"

Bai Lu looked him up and down, with a sad face, and it was obvious that he had a grudge in his heart!

She frowned and said: "This big brother, you work hard, but he insults you like this and deducts your wages! SuchHow can you bear it!"

The young man was stunned, and his already sad face wrinkled into a ball: "How can it be so miserable..."

Bai Lu became more and more angry, and said angrily: "I know you are afraid of his power, so you dare not speak your mind. But you really don't need to be so patient, the worst thing is to quit!"

The young man was even more confused: "No, how can you tell that I am forbearing?"

Bai Lu sighed: "Look at your face, you are so sad, and you still say you didn't bear it? It's hard to restrain yourself when you are full of love, look how miserable you are..."

Before she finished speaking, the young man had already covered his lower abdomen and squeezed his legs and complained: "My face is because I am holding it back! I drank too much just now! Girl, if you have anything to say, can you say it later? I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet!"

Bai Lu was stunned: "Ah? "

The young man ignored her, bent his waist and tucked his legs together and ran to the other corner of the yard, and rushed into the toilet.

Bai Lu finally reacted and couldn't help blushing.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding...

With a creak, the door of the workshop opened again, and Chen Yan walked out.

"Hey, Miss Bai, is there good news?" He walked closer with a smile.

"The boss asked me to tell you that your plan was successful." Bai Lu said with a stern face.

"Tsk tsk, your attitude..." Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

Bai Lu was startled and knew that she was a little emotional again.

She quickly suppressed her disgust and softened her tone: "I'm sorry, Lord Chen, I will pay attention."

Chen Yan praised: "I said, the girl is teachable! Since the plan was successful, she should have brought the things to you as agreed, right?"

Bai Lu looked around: "Isn't this place not suitable?"

But Chen Yan said calmly: "The people here are all my people, there is no need to worry. Come, where are the things?" He said, his eyes wandering over her.

It must be said that although her figure is not as good as Zheng Yan and Qing Er, it is also well-proportioned and can be regarded as first-class.

"What are you looking at!" Bai Lu's cheeks flushed and she said coquettishly.

"Look at where you hide the silver!" Chen Yan looked up at her face in surprise, "Otherwise, what do you think I am looking at?"

"..." Bai Lu was speechless.

How did this guy lie without blushing?
