Chapter 41 The Workshop Starts
Although it was said that only ten people were recruited at the beginning, but in the end thirteen people were recruited, Dunn felt that it was just a small matter, but Fiona didn't feel that way.
"Lord Lord, you can't do this again in the future."
Fiona was very helpless: "As a noble, even if you say what you say, you can't change it casually. If other nobles know about it, you will be laughed at. At the beginning, there are ten people, but it can only be ten people. It's so cruel."
"Cut, who cares about that? The first thing the nobles have to learn is to be shameless."
Tang En pouted: "Also, don't you think their smiles are beautiful?"
Fiona looked at the thirteen people, she was obviously very thin, she seemed to have exhausted her strength when she stood up, and her clothes were so shabby, but their smiles with tears were really touching.
That is the smile of hope in desperation.
She nodded involuntarily.
"Yeah, so I can't help but lay off three more people."
Tang En sighed with emotion, leaving Fiona aside, his face was full of the expression "I'm so benevolent, come and praise me".
Fiona pretended not to see it, snorted, and asked suspiciously, "You really didn't leave them all because they were all girls?"
Tang En looked calm: "Of course."
Fiona looked at Dunn suspiciously, waved her hand after a moment and said, "Whatever you want, just let it go. I'm going to give gold coins to the guards."
Dunn looked up and found that Elsa had come with the guards.
As soon as these guys heard that the gold coin that Dunn had promised was finally being fulfilled, they all blushed with excitement, and they all looked impatient.
but……
"Danny, can you put the bag aside first?"
"No! After receiving the gold coins, I have to pick mint grass!"
After Danny finished speaking, he looked around nervously: "My mother took away all the silver coins yesterday. Today, the lord is giving out bonuses, but gold coins! If my mother takes them away again, I'll be honest. I'm going to cry."
There was laughter all around.
"Okay, stop laughing!"
Elsa snorted, and the guards immediately quieted down. She continued, "One by one lined up, Miss Fiona called the name and went to pick it up!"
Gold coins, gold coins...it's going to be spent again...
Fiona sighed, glanced at the book, and called, "Uncle Depp."
"coming!"
Depp looked happy.
"Uncle Depp, you killed three bandits in the bandit suppression operation. The monthly salary, plus the action bonus, is a total of thirteen gold coins."
When Fiona handed the thirteen golden coins to Uncle Depp, Uncle Depp and the other members of the guard were stunned.
Looking at the gold coins in Uncle Depp's hands, they all swallowed, and their eyes widened.
The gods are above! They had never seen such a large sum of money!
When Tang En said that casually, they didn't take it seriously. They only thought that Tang En said that to boost their morale. It is not the first time that a treacherous noble has done such a thing among bards.
However, what I didn't expect was that Dunn actually fulfilled his promise!
"Long live the lord!"
Uncle Depp's hands trembled with excitement, put away the gold coins, and he solemnly bowed: "I, Depp, hereby swear to the gods that this body will shed every drop of blood for guarding Ellington and Lord Lord. !"
"Bullshit!"
Dunn stared at Depp and said very dissatisfiedly: "Your mouth was blessed by Ms. Calamity? Would you like Ellington to start a war?"
Depp's face stiffened, and he smirked: "That... I'm just too excited..."
That's right, in fact, everyone doesn't want war, they'd rather never have the day when they take up arms.
But in the future, who can say?
As they received the gold coins one by one, the members of the guard team admired Dunn even more, and they all willingly became his followers.
Following such a generous and talkative lord, this life is worth it!
Half an hour later, after everyone got their prizes, it was Elsa's turn.
"Elsa, five bandits, plus bonuses and salaries, a total of twenty gold coins."
"Hey?"
Elsa was very surprised: "Isn't it fifteen?"
Fiona glanced at Dunn and said, "Because you are the captain of the guard, your salary is five gold coins higher than others."
"Wow!"
Danny looked at Elsa with admiration: "It's great to be the captain!"
"Envy what," someone next to him teased Danny, "If you can beat Elsa, you can also be the captain."
"Defeat Elsa?"
Danny shivered, shrank his head, and smirked: "Forget it..."
Elsa let him play with one hand to kill him!
"All right!"
Elsa glared at them. As the captain, she should have the majesty of the captain. She coughed lightly and said with a serious face: "I have received my salary, and prepare to continue training!"
"Wait a minute."
Tang En said with a smile: "Let's have a holiday today, every month will be paid today, and then we will have a day off today. You can buy whatever you want, drink if you want, relax, and continue training tomorrow, of course. , if it is a special period, there will be no more holidays."
"Yeah! Long live the lord!"
The crowd cheered loudly.
"Lord Lord, you will spoil them like this."
Elsa frowned, she believed that a warrior should never slack off and should keep exercising every day.
"It's good for them to relax now..."
Tang En looked sinister: "Look back, tell me about your training methods, and I will refer to it."
"OK."
After Elsa and the others left, the thirteen girls also had breakfast. After they were full, their complexion was obviously much better, but standing there awkwardly one by one made Dunn want to scratch his head.
In fact, what they thought was very simple. Before working for the lord, they had a breakfast with the lord. If they could not satisfy the lord, how should they face the lord in the future...
"You don't have to be nervous, in fact, what you have to do is very simple."
Tang En said very kindly: "Come with me first."
Dunn took them to the warehouse that had been cleaned up. It was now empty. There were only a dozen tables, on which were the stills that Dunn had debugged. Under the table was a vat.
"I'll demonstrate it from beginning to end first, and I'll explain it to you at the same time. If anyone doesn't understand anything, you can ask me."
After Tang En finished speaking, he started from scratch, adding water, adding mint, turning on the magic circle, and explaining each step to them in detail until the end of distillation.
"... Since it uses alchemy products, the temperature can be controlled by a magic circle. The switch is here, and it can be used even without magic. It's very simple."
After Tang En finished his demonstration, he asked, "Now, who else doesn't understand?"
No one raised their hands.
"Don't be shy, just ask if you don't understand, I won't say anything... uh, do you really understand?"
Everyone nodded.
In fact, this set of procedures is very simple, as long as people with normal learning ability can master it, the reason why Dunn repeatedly confirmed it is because he underestimated the learning ability of Prandal humans.
"Very well, in that case, let's continue."
Dunn brought the collected semi-finished products to the table: "The upper layer is peppermint hydrosol, and the lower layer is peppermint essential oil. You need to separate them into two containers, which is also very simple."
"...Add jaggery and water to this pot to dissolve, then use this to filter several times, then pour the melted liquid into this blender, and then use this container to measure peppermint essential oil and add it to it. After stirring well, put the melted liquid into it. The liquid is poured into this mold to cool, and then the sugar balls are collected and placed in this box.”
Dunn worked overtime last night not only to make a still, but in order to make ordinary people able to complete this series of work, he integrated several steps completed with magic into an instrument. For example, the simple stirrer uses wind. The magic circle, the mold and the box containing the sugar balls all use the magic circle of ice to control the temperature.
With the help of magic, these machines are not only convenient, fast, but also pollution-free, and their efficiency is even higher than that of similar machines on the earth. This is what Dunn is most satisfied with Prandal.
"Now that you have mastered it, let's try it again. Five people extract mint, five people boil and filter the sugar water, and the other three help to maximize the efficiency. Let's start now."
Dunn clapped his hands, and Prandal's first simple assembly line team started work.
At first, the girls were a little nervous, and their movements were very stiff, but after a while, they got used to it. They added water and mint very quickly, and their work efficiency also skyrocketed.
After observing for a while, Tang En adjusted the staffing. Because the extraction speed was much faster than expected, the consumption of peppermint essential oil was not so fast, and the boiling and stirring of sugar water was slow. The job was easy, so it ended up being three people extracting peppermint oil, seven people cooking and stirring, and three people specializing in making sugar balls.
3:7:3, this is the most efficient configuration at present, Tang En rubbed his chin, it seems that the staffing ratio in the future can also be based on this ratio.
At noon, what excited these girls was that Dunn took care of them for another lunch.
As a result, they worked more attentively in the afternoon. In the morning, they had mastered the skills very proficiently. In the afternoon, they were more efficient. As a result, they made tens of thousands of mints easily in the evening.
A sugar ball is now counted as ten copper plates, and the output value of this rough and disrespectful workshop has reached ten gold coins in one day.
Don't think it's too small, think about how much value these thirteen girls can create every day before - if they know that these people have created goods worth at least ten gold coins in one day, they will be shocked.
