An old man with a white beard walked out of the crowd, stroking his beard and shaking his head and said: "It is said that during the Qin Dynasty, there was an old farmer in Xianyang who was poor and hungry. At night, a god came to him in his dream and taught him how to make cold skin. He dedicated this method to the Qin Palace.
The First Emperor was overjoyed and rewarded his family with great wealth. However, the method of making cold skin was lost during the war."
"Tch!" Everyone waved their sleeves at the old man, then turned to Li Siye and said loudly: "Li Langjun, pass on this skill of making cold skin to us, and we can pay the franchise fee! Give us a price!"
Li Siye put his hands into his sleeves, stood firmly in the middle of the field and squinted his eyes, shook his head and said: "Actually, I deceived everyone about the cakes. What the Xionghuo Gang really wants to rob is the secret recipe for making cold skin."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and some of them showed off their foresight with the benefit of hindsight: "Let me just say, although this thousand-layer scallion pancake is delicious, the craftsmanship is very simple and can be figured out. The method of making Liangpi is priceless!"
"Li Langjun, teach us the secret recipe for making cold skin! We are willing to spend a lot of money and share the dangers to fight against the Xionghuo Gang with you!"
Li Siye shook his head again: "Although the secret recipe of Liangpi is precious, I am not prepared to exchange it with money."
"Then what do you want to exchange for? Silver? Glaze? Is it gold?"
"Contribution points, contribution points from the Gourmet Association. I issue tasks, you accept the tasks, and get contribution points. After accumulating 10,000 contribution points, I will naturally pass on the secret recipe to qualified people."
The vendors fell silent and began to carefully consider the pros and cons of what Li Siye said. He seemed to have just said that he was going to set up some kind of gourmet gang, but everyone didn't take it seriously at first. After learning how to make green onion pancakes, they would break up the stall.
Who would have thought that Li Siye would come up with a secret recipe for cold skin that had been lost for a long time since the Qin Dynasty, and arouse everyone's desire again.
Everyone has learned how to make Thousand Layer Scallion Cake, and if so many people make it, even if they are scattered throughout Chang'an City, there won't be much profit. But Liangpi Li Langjun said that as long as he accumulates enough 10,000 contribution points, anyone can make it.
You can be the first to learn this skill.
Li Siye made another statement that made waves: "I can guarantee you that before you get 10,000 contribution points, I will not use Liangpi to make money. I want you to witness it in person."
Everyone was no longer suspicious, and questions were raised one after another: "Can contribution points be exchanged for money?"
"No." Li Siye replied expressionlessly.
"What if we accumulate enough contribution points and you don't accept the credit?"
"Then you just beat me to death with random punches, and everyone will be punished."
"Please help me release the first task."
"You should call me the president. Listen, for the first task, I want all the details about the Xionghuo Gang, which is worth one thousand contribution points. One thousand contribution points can be obtained by one person who finds out, and ten people who find out by ten people.
point."
"The second task is also a thousand contribution points. Protect my safety around the West City for twenty days. The same as above, and the participants will be divided equally."
As soon as Li Siye finished speaking, everyone fell into quarrels and discussions, and it seemed that they were already allocating their contributions. Of the two tasks, the protection task was the easiest, but if there were more people involved, the contribution points would be diluted, so it would be difficult to find out the details.
, but as long as they get a piece of major news, it will be more cost-effective than them being a guard for twenty days.
Li Siye doesn't care how much they argue, these people will eventually be tied to the tasks they issue. This is a very loose but effective management model.
He walked to the door of the warehouse, and with great difficulty, Sha Li carried a basket of copper coins in front of Li Siye. He said with a smile: "This money weighs more than two hundred kilograms, and it is estimated to be fifty thousand. How about you count it?"
number?"
"No need." Li Siye squatted down, grabbed a handful of copper coins from the heavy basket that was about to fall apart, stuffed it into Sha Li and said, "Well done, what you did tonight is worth a thousand contributions."
point."
…
Li Siye woke up from the shop and wrapped himself in a quilt. The rustling voices outside the door entered his eardrums. He turned to look at the door and window. There were many people standing side by side outside the door, peeking inside.
After seeing Li Siye wake up, he quickly turned around and stood still, like a loyal guard.
He turned around and saw the copper coin basket next to him. He had made so much money. If Li Meier knew about it, he didn't know how happy he would be.
He rubbed his eyes and stood up, stretched, stood up, opened the small door and walked out. Suddenly... he was shocked. More than sixty men were guarding his door with sticks and short blades, shouting in unison.
Call: "Gang Leader."
Good guy, it looks like a bandit's den.
"Don't call me gang leader, call me president." Li Siye rubbed his head and said with a headache: "Don't all gather here. If people from the West City Department see it, they will think we are gathering here to cause trouble."
"
"But, help, President." Michagan came closer and said, "We took over your mission last night and are now earning contribution points to protect your safety."
"Then there is no need for so many people to stay here. Just select the capable and strong ones and leave a dozen or so people here. Don't delay everyone's business."
"Business is small, contribution is big, and besides, we are all doing it voluntarily."
"Hey, what I mean is that you don't need to get together to protect me. For example, Michagan, your shop is right across from me, so you stay opposite making cakes and monitor suspicious people coming and going."
He then pointed at the people standing around him and directed: "And you, all those who are doing business on this street and can arrive within five minutes, go back to do business. The remaining dozen people stay here.
, and if you have nothing to do, just wander around the streets.”
Michagan asked again: "How long is five minutes?"
He almost forgot that they didn't have this concept, so he quickly changed his words and said: "Within one mile."
"President!" A scholar wearing a Gebu shirt ran up to Li Siye, holding a pile of scattered papers in his hand.
Li Siye looked down and saw that the scholar had thin cheeks and red and bloodshot eyes. It seemed that he was busy competing for tasks last night and had not slept all night.
"Are you also a member of the association?" He couldn't believe how there could be scholars among the vendors.
"Yes, yes." The scholar said loudly: "This Vice President Mi can prove it to me."
Li Siye turned around and asked Michagan: "When did you become the vice president?"
Michagan scratched his head a little shyly: "Everyone recommended it. It's popular, but there's nothing we can do about it."
"President, President." The scholar took over the conversation and tried to attract Li Siye's attention: "We discussed it last night and drew up a list of association members, a total of one hundred and thirty-six people. You can take a look at it first to avoid being confused.
When you..."
The subtext of this scholar is that he is afraid that Li Siye will not acknowledge his debt after completing the task, or that people with unknown origins will sneak in to earn contribution points.
Li Siye took the account book from his hand and asked while flipping through it: "Are these the people who paid to learn how to make cakes last night?"
"Yes, yes, I stayed up all night last night to register my name, and also marked everyone who signed up to do the task. The task of protecting you is marked with ink, and the task of inquiring about information is marked with cinnabar.
. To do this not only consumed cinnabar and ink, but also three pieces of white linen paper.”
Li Siye understood what the scholar meant. No one can do anything without profit. He nodded with a smile and said, "You've done well. I'll give you three hundred dollars, plus five hundred contribution points. From now on, you will be the clerk of our association.
What's your name?"
As soon as Li Siye finished speaking, more than a dozen jealous eyes were cast on the scholar. The rough guys sighed in their hearts, it is better to be a scholar. Fortunately, I have worked hard all morning, and it is not certain how many contribution points I can get. This scholar just registered
If you get a hundred names, you can get five hundred.
The scholar was intimidated by everyone's gaze. He hurriedly lowered his head and followed Li Siye into the store. He crossed his hands and said, "President, my name is Gao Shi. I am a down-and-out scholar. I make a living by setting up a stall in the Western Market and writing family letters.
