"It goes without saying that he must have been taught badly by his man. There is a saying that marrying a chicken follows a chicken, and marrying a dog follows a dog. This guy has also been sold for a year." Chen Peizhi said contemptuously.

"That's right." Liu Chengyin nodded slightly.

"It's naturally impossible to go to the mountain's side, but if you ask Peizhi to cooperate with me, it's considered that you've already been there."

"Well, as long as you get the money, you can invite me to the Taohong Pavilion once." Chen Peizhi shook his head.

It is said that Ji Wei rode a donkey back to Changliu Town, and when passing West Street, he turned to Wen Xuan's house.

He is the most nerdy to find. He is bored at home all day, rarely goes out, and is sure to catch him when he comes to the door.

Sure enough, Ji Wei knocked on the door this time, and someone came to open it immediately.

"Mr. Ji, you are here!" Wen Xuan was a little excited.

Every time Ji Wei comes to the door, he will bring a lot of money to Wen Xuan, especially now that he is going to go back to the county school. Naturally, the more savings he has, the better.

"Is there any painting you want me to draw this time? Or do you want me to run errands and send something?" Wen Xuan followed Ji Wei and settled accounts with his fingers. He now has more than two taels of savings. After removing the book repairs he handed over to the academy, as well as the school building expenses for half a year, there is still one or two points left, which is enough for the end of next year.

"neither."

"what?"

Wen Xuan was a little dumbfounded.

"I'm here to ask you, when will you return to the county school?" Ji Wei found a stool and sat down, as relaxed as at home.

"I plan to tidy up the house, buy some books, pen and ink, etc., and then go back to the county school, at the latest at the beginning of next month." That is, within ten days.

"Are you going to live in the school building?"

"Yeah, Daxi Town is very far away, and it's not cheap to live outside. But Baoshan said that if I have money, I can go to his house to help. But he has a sister at home, so why should I bother." Wen Xuan scratched the back of his head and said naively.

"It's not bad, and it's good for multiple people to take care of it." Ji Wei murmured, but Wen Xuan didn't understand and asked.

"Since you're planning to go in the near future, I think it's earlier. If you're still short of money, I'll pay for it for you. How much is it?" Ji Wei took off the purse from his belt and was stopped by Wen Xuan.

"How can I take your money? In fact, you have taken good care of me these days. As for the money for school, you have already saved enough." Wen Xuan choked with gratitude, and gave Ji Wei a bow.

If it wasn't for Ji Wei's help, since he sold paintings before, food and clothing would be a problem, and it would be impossible to return to the county school, let alone live in the school building.

"You know my brother Liu... I also went to the county school some time ago."

"Of course! Young Master Liu is smart, and Wen Xuan admires him very much!" An ordinary brother, not only literate, but also able to study in the county like other men, is a very rare thing in itself. If Ji Wei hadn't known that Wen Xuan was an honest and modest student, he would have thought that Wen Xuan was saying the opposite.

"If you want to thank me, you usually take care of me in the academy. If he is bullied, give him a nod." But after the last sentence, not only Wen Xuan, but also Ji Wei himself laughed .

"It seems a little too hard on you. With Baoshan, Lin Tai and others, you shouldn't be bullied again."

Seeing Ji Weiwei's uneasy look, Wen Xuan immediately changed his words, "Then I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and I'll buy what I need there. Even if you don't explain what Mr. Ji said, I'll definitely help! "

"Thanks a lot then." Ji Wei folded his fists and bent down slightly.

Since Ji Wei wants to cooperate with Mr. Zhang, he will choose the manpower and provide it to the Zhang family after production. Then the scope of supply in the future will not only be limited to the small North Street, but will even be expanded to various nearby towns.

Then it is sold through Zhangjia's stores and channels before it is divided.

Then the yard behind the Beijie shop and the remaining skilled workers are not enough.

It’s a pity that in the farming society now, all machinery that can reduce labor cannot be produced, and every step requires manual operation, which increases the cost invisibly. According to the future production volume, at least the number of workers will have to be doubled in order to barely supply 3-5 more stores.

Finding people is not an easy job. Fortunately, after Mr. Zhang reached a verbal agreement with Ji Wei, he began to pick people.

It took three days of hard work to pick out another twenty strong young men and bring them to the Weijue Shop on North Street.

The store is so big, and when there are many people, it becomes very crowded.

After thinking about it, Ji Wei separated the skilled workers and the novice workers and divided them into three groups.

One group is the raw material production group, that is, milk is used to make cheese, butter, cream, gelatin, etc. The other group is to follow Ji Wei's production team, mix the raw materials according to a certain proportion, and then use the third group to tighten the oven.

If it was said that Ji Wei came to bake before and only served one shop, he could still be busy. But he also had to take high-level orders for cakes and bake the cakes in the store. He was too tired to do it alone, so he simply chose two people to replace him.

These three groups of people, except the raw material group, all stayed in the yard that came with the store, under the supervision of Ji Wei. The raw material production team was brought to Ji Wei's yard in Xixiang, and was supervised by Zhao Hu.

Every evening, after the raw materials are separated, they are sent to the shop for baking. At the end of the night, Ji Wei will weigh the raw materials needed for the next day so that he can directly operate with the workers.

This can not only form a well-organized production line, but also effectively fragment the production process and prevent those short-term workers from stealing lessons.

If it is Chinese dim sum, there may be a possibility of being stolen. But at West Point, Ji Wei was not worried.

Baking is a delicate job. If there is no accurate recipe, especially in this era when there has never been a pastry, it is very difficult to make a successful pastry.

For example, for different West Points, consider how high the temperature should be, how long it should be baked, and what color state it should be baked into. Or different breads and different biscuits should be mixed according to what proportion, using almost similar ingredients, to make a variety of different kinds of desserts.
