Chapter 312 Find someone to do things
"Ping'er, you'll know what it is after you taste it!" Lin Shuran smiled and asked Ping'er to try it too. She put some white particles into her mouth, and then a sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue.

Ping'er immediately widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Ma'am, this is sweet!"

"This is sugar, of course it's sweet!" Lin Shuran replied, and at the same time told everyone that Xu Minghan planned to open a sugar shop in a few days, and they would sell this kind of white sugar at that time.

"Ma'am, your sugar making recipe has been seen by the servants. If someone else learns it, someone will steal the business from the third young master's shop." The clever Ping'er deliberately glanced at the rest of the kitchen. man, and said aloud.

The fat aunt on the side immediately understood what she meant, and immediately expressed her loyalty to Lin Shuran on behalf of everyone: "Madam, don't worry, the servants and maids are all domestic slaves who have passed the death contract. When the madam confesses, the servants will deal with her and her family first, and the servants all know in their hearts that the life of the servants will be better as long as the General's Mansion is in order!"

The others also followed behind Fat Aunt to express their determination, saying that they would never disclose the method of making sugar. Seeing their trembling looks, Lin Shuran smiled instead and said: "If I don't believe you, how can I do it in front of you?" Make this white sugar with your flour, although we are masters and servants, we are still a family, and I need you to help me make other sugars, starting from this month, your monthly silver will be doubled."

When everyone heard that everyone was happy, it was not because there was more money, but because Lin Shuran, the mistress, trusted them. They were very moved. , it is still very good to these slaves with low status, and it is their blessing to meet such a master.

After making white sugar, Lin Shuran wants to make milk candies, fruit candies, lollipops and other candies next. When these candies are placed in ancient and antique shops, they will definitely attract many people. Think about it. Sweet.

In the next few days, Lin Shuran took the cooks and maids of Xu's back kitchen to busy making all kinds of candies, and let everyone taste them first, but the children of Xu's family who heard the news did not agree. Eat more, because Lin Shuran told them that if you eat too much sugar, your teeth will be broken. You must eat sugar in moderation, but there is no child in the world who can stand the temptation of delicious candy.

"Mother, can you give me two extra yuan for the candy I made today? I want to give it to Xiao Huzi and Wei Ying, so that they can taste Mother's handicrafts too!" The old seven Xu Minghao followed Lin Shuran to the kitchen, and looked at her flatteringly. asked.

"Of course, if your third brother's shop opens in a few days, you will need to go out to advertise!" Lin Shuran not only plans to make some nut-like candies today, but also plans to make some glutinous rice paper, so that the candies can last as long as possible will be relatively longer.

"Advertisement? What is an advertisement?" Xu Minghao asked inexplicably.

"Advertising is to spread the word, let more people know what is sold in your third brother's shop and how the things are, the more people know, the more people will come to buy things." Lin Shuran explained.

Now Xu Minghao understood what Lin Shuran meant, and patted his chest to express that he would let everyone in the capital know that the sugar shop opened by his third brother was the best.

And Xu Minghan has not been idle these few days. He asked the shopkeeper Xiao Jin to redecorate the shop, and it only took two days to sign a cooperation document with a sugar merchant in Sichuan, and he had just shipped him to the capital. Bought a batch of brown sugar.

Because the shop on West Street that Lin Shuran bought was not particularly large, it was just right to open a small sugar shop. Originally, Xu Minghan planned to sell some brown sugar in bulk to earn some price difference from the middle, but after returning to the mansion , he saw Lin Shuran and the cooks who had never seen white sugar and all kinds of candies made by them, and his mind changed again.

"Mom, I'm going to find a special place and call some people to make sugar and sugar cubes. I think our shop will be very popular once it opens!" Xu Minghan is now more confident in opening a sugar shop. He dared to say that no one had ever heard of the white sugar or the candies made by Lin Shuran, let alone ate them.

"I leave the shop to you, and you can do whatever you want!" Lin Shuran didn't stop Xu Minghan. The reason why she was busy these days was to hope that his sugar shop would be prosperous.

With Lin Shuran's support, Xu Minghan began to search for someone, but it was not so easy to find someone who was loyal, diligent and honest, but he was not in a hurry, he must find someone who could be trusted, Otherwise, even if the business opens in the shortest possible time, it is likely to suffer big losses due to improper employment.

As the saying goes, when you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. On this day, Wu Bao, the steward of the farm in the south of the city, asked to see Lin Shuran, saying that he heard that the mansion was looking for someone to do something, and he wanted to introduce a few people to Lin Shuran.

"Wu Guanshi, who are these people you mentioned? What did they do?" Lin Shuran still has a deep impression of the one-eyed Wu Bao, who is honest and responsible, and does not steal. He was slippery, and the animals that Mr. Pei gave to Xu Mingxuan were also taken care of very well, but I never heard of him being close to anyone, so I wanted to ask a few more questions.

Wu Bao still rubbed his hands a little cautiously. Yesterday Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan went to Zhuangzi in the south of the city. He overheard the two young masters saying that the third young master in the mansion was looking for someone to do things, but he was worried that the person he wanted to use was unreliable. , or because he was worried about not being diligent and dishonest, he was a man who escaped from death on the battlefield, homeless and childless, it was Xu Junze who gave him a place to live, and he knew that Xu Junze had secretly done a lot for them soldiers. He always wanted to find a chance to repay Xu Junze.

Now that Xu Junze went to Xia Guo with the mission, leaving behind a family of weak women and children, he can't help much, but it is still possible to find a few reliable and usable people.

Therefore, Wu Bao said to Lin Shuran: "Returning to Madam, these people are all from the battlefield just like the younger ones, and they are all from poor backgrounds. Over the years, the general has secretly helped our brothers. We are all grateful for his kindness. Although the general never said it, we know that every year those soldiers who are disabled on the battlefield or the families of some soldiers who lost their pillars will receive a sum of money. There will be every year, so that they will not be too sad, and everyone doesn't know how to repay the general. Now the third young master wants to employ someone, and the other small ones can't guarantee it, but they can protect the Xu family. It is absolutely credible and usable .”

Hearing what Wu Bao said, Lin Shuran suddenly understood one thing. Could it be that Xu Junze took huge amounts of money from the mansion every year just to subsidize those soldiers who became disabled on the battlefield and the families of those who died?
