Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

It was warm in the kitchen, and Halofa had a good night's sleep.

When he woke up in the morning, he felt refreshed.Jiang Chun came in to make breakfast, and his man helped light the fire.Only then did the two see clearly that the person who came to stay overnight late at night was a foreign businessman.

"I'm from the Peacock Kingdom." Halofa said, chatting up Jiang Chun's man in his unproficient Chinese.

None of them had heard of the Peacock Kingdom, so they guessed that it was far away, but Harofa said: "The Peacock Kingdom is far away, but it is not the farthest. There are many countries further west. Some of my family members go there to do business. Yes, they have been."

"What's the difference between those countries and Dacheng?" Jiang Chun's man asked.

That's enough to say, Harofa thought for a while and said, "They like to knead wheat flour into balls and bake them, but I still like Dacheng's steamed buns and dumplings. Sister-in-law, what do you do?"

Jiang Chun was happy when his country's food was praised, and his attitude towards Harofa was much better than yesterday. He said, "It's just ordinary barley rice. Let's try it later?"

Halofa nodded, already smelling the aroma of barley.

Tong Ran took the little tiger to the cotton factory early in the morning. The factory was crowded with people, and Ke Yang and his men were teaching the new workers how to use the equipment in the factory.There are more than 220 people working in the factory. They were called in batches and taught wave after wave.Ke Yang's voice was hoarse, but fortunately there were Tong Ran's personal soldiers standing guard beside him. Although there were many people, no one crowded around, and the order was very good.

Almost all of these people met Tong Ran during the interview, and many of them even talked to him. When he appeared, they all greeted him, and some greeted the little tiger.

After walking more than half a circle, I happened to meet Fan Heng.Fan Heng brought a few pieces of paper for Tong Ran to review.

In order to look at things, Tong Ran went into the small cubicle next to him and sat down, and put the little tiger on the ground.The little tiger glanced at Bai Fanheng, jumped onto the table by himself, and went to look at the paperwork that Tong Ran was reading.

Tong Ran was used to the little tiger looking at everything, so he didn't stop it, just watching for himself.

Fan Heng stayed in Jinhejian for a long time this time, and even his subordinate Cang Ping left, but he still insisted on staying, with the excuse that he was waiting for the foreign merchant who sells cotton to come over.Tong Ran asked him if His Majesty had any orders, and Fan Heng directly said no.Tong Ran followed him.

Before the start of the cotton factory, Tong Ran brought the personnel regulations and reward and punishment measures of the mining area. He originally wanted to copy them directly to the cotton factory, but then he thought about it. Fan Heng is sure to use the means to manage such a large company as Fan's. It's a bit of a loss for him not to use his wisdom to eat and live here for nothing.So Tong Ran gave him the old regulations again and asked him to help revise them.

After reading Fan Heng's revised regulations, Tong Ran praised him, and immediately made a decision and handed it over to the responsible civil servants.

The little tiger raised its tail and walked around the table, taking a look at Fan Heng. This guy has been here long enough, why doesn't he leave?

"Cub." Fan Heng bent down and looked at it with a smile.

The little tiger slapped it with his paw, but he was nimble and dodged away with his cane.

Yuan San came in from the outside and said to Tong Ran: "Sir, there is a businessman outside who claims to be from the Peacock Kingdom. He said his name is Harofa and he wants to see you."

"It's finally here," Fan Heng said. "It's the foreign cotton seller I told you about. How come it's only now? I need to ask him carefully."

The little tiger glanced at Fan Heng.

"Ask him to come to the reception room of the cotton factory." Tong Ran said, picked up the little tiger and walked out.

Yuan San took Halofa through the factory workshop and headed for the reception room.

Staff training has come to an end, workers are shoveling coal into the boiler, the fire is blazing, and three steam cotton gins have been put into operation.

"Oh!" Harofa exaggeratedly exclaimed, "This is really like magic!"

"Master Ha, this way please." Yuan San said.

They passed through the spinning area again. Eight female workers were sitting in front of a hand-spinning machine. They turned the wheel with one hand and spun the thread with the other. Several cotton threads were spit out at the same time at an extremely fast speed.

"Magic! It must be magic!" cried Halofar.

A worker took some baskets of freshly ginned cotton to the spinning area and glanced at Halofa.This foreigner with a strange accent can really make a fuss.But it's not all his fault, everyone in this factory, who hasn't been frightened by the machines made by their Master Tong?

Even the most experienced master here has never seen such a convenient and quick device.

It seems that this foreigner has never seen him before. Judging by his surprised expression, Mr. Tong really gave them a big face.The worker who distributed the cotton unconsciously straightened his back, and he was also honored to be able to work in this cotton factory.

Later, when passing through the looms, Harofa was speechless.

This loom looks very similar to theirs—it also uses shuttles, but what kind of design is it that two people can sit on one machine?This loom is actually much higher than others, and the speed of weaving cloth is also very fast.

And the most shocking thing about the loom group is not its difference, but its huge number.Dozens of large looms lined up the entire factory building vigorously, just looking at it is shocking enough.

"Master Ha." Yuan Sandao said, "The front is the reception room."

Halofa was in a daze just now, when Yuan San opened his mouth to call him back, he turned his head and walked forward, and asked again: "Is this the whole factory building?"

Yuan San said politely: "There is another piece ahead, with sixty looms."

Halofa was completely speechless, and walked forward with Yuan San with a numb face.

"Wow—" Halofa heard a tiger roar before entering the room.

Although the roar of the tiger still smelled like milk, he took a step back warily.Seeing that Yuan San didn't respond, he went in again.

The reception room is very simple, and a young man sits with a tiger in his arms, which looks only the size of an adult cat.The boy held a teacup in his hand, which was much larger than the Dacheng teacup Harofa had seen before. The cup was handed to the tiger's mouth, and the little tiger stuck out his tongue and licked it twice.

Shouldn't there be tea in there?Halofa thought to himself.

Fan Heng was on the second seat beside him. When he saw Harofa coming in, he stood up to greet him.Halofa recognized him and greeted him warmly.Fan Heng introduced Harofa and Tong Ran to each other.

Harofa exhausted all the Chinese he had learned all his life, praised Tong Ran's cotton factory, and finally concluded: "This is really a miracle of God."

Tong Ran smiled, but inwardly he cursed, this is called science and technology, and it has nothing to do with God.

The little tiger was much more straightforward, and roared with a wave of his paw: "Wow!"

Fan Heng introduced with a smile: "This is the tiger raised by Mr. Tong, nicknamed Zai Zai."

Halofa also found it interesting to introduce a tiger so solemnly, and bowed to it: "Hi Zai Zai."

The little tiger wagged its tail lazily and glared at Fan Heng with green eyes.The name Zai Zai, how can this foreign businessman call it.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them took their seats.Yuan San ordered someone to serve tea.

Halofa took a sip: "Good tea!"

Tong Ran smiled: "As long as Mr. Ha likes it."

Halofa asked again: "Where is this tea? Our family transports thousands of catties of tea from Dacheng every year, and we have never bought such good tea!"

Tong Ran said: "This tea cannot be bought outside, it is a tribute from the palace, and His Majesty rewarded it not long ago."

Being able to taste the quality of the tea, it can be seen that Harofa and his family know Dacheng very well, and they naturally understand the meaning of the tribute.He held up the cup and took another solemn sip, raised his thumb and said, "Good tea!"

The little tiger took a sip of his tea and glanced at Harofa.The cotton factory had just opened here, so there was no other tea prepared, so I used the tribute tea that Tong Ran brought with me.

After praising the tea, Halofa praised Dacheng's delicious food enthusiastically, and finally apologized to Tong Ran with some embarrassment: "I thought I could get there in five days, whoever wants to walk a few steps here in Dacheng will have delicious food Yes, I really couldn't hold back, I'm really sorry to keep Master Tong waiting for so long."

Tong Ran said it was all right, and the two talked about the cotton business again.

Harofa originally had reservations about this business, but after seeing the cotton factory with his own eyes, he completely changed his mind.The cotton needed by such a cotton factory must be several times that of other places. Not only must the quantity be large, but also stable. If he can do business with Tong Ran, his family's thousands of hectares of cotton fields will not worry about selling.

Halofa wanted to sell, Tong Ran wanted to buy, and the two hit it off.

With Fan Heng in the middle, the price offered by Halofa was naturally affordable. The two signed the contract immediately, and the deal was concluded on the same day.

Tong Ran paid a [-]% deposit according to the contract, and Harlow had to go back to buy the goods from the Peacock Kingdom. After the goods arrived on time, Tong Ran would pay the follow-up payment according to the contract.

After the contract was concluded, Tong Ran took Harofa and Fan Heng to the cafeteria of Cotton Factory.

Today is the first day of operation of the cafeteria, just to taste how it tastes.This time the cotton factory recruited quite a lot, and many foreigners also applied for the job, not only weavers, but also chefs.Therefore, the lineup of the cotton factory's cafeteria is quite luxurious. According to Ke Yang, the two male chefs and three female chefs who were finally determined are from four places, and they can cook a variety of dishes.

When Halofa heard that he was going to eat in the canteen of the cotton factory, he lost interest, and secretly complained that Tong Ran was not particular. He missed the wheat rice at Jiang's house this morning.

However, as soon as he entered the cafeteria, the aroma of the food was tangy, and Halofa was gurgling with hunger.

Is this a place for workers to eat?It's too fragrant!

There are four long tables here, each of which can seat about 30 to [-] people, and there are also a dozen large round tables.All the workers in the cotton mill will not work at the same time, so they can barely sit down.

As soon as Tong Ran arrived, someone in charge said that the food was ready, and asked Tong Ran and others to move.

The steward brought them to a secluded table, where a dozen kinds of dishes were laid out in circles, including chicken, duck and fish.Halofa was still looking at everything carefully, and another servant brought a large tray, and another servant arranged all the dishes on the large tray in front of one of the seats. This seat was also different from the others, and it was specially made. high.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the tiger that Tong Ran was holding jumped out of his arms and sat on that seat.

"My little tiger is more particular, and he is used to eating at the table. Don't you mind, Mr. Ha?" Tong Ran smiled.

Tong Ran is his big customer, of course Halofa will not refute his face, and quickly replied: "I don't mind, of course I don't mind." But he was worried, eating at the table with the tiger, how can the meal be safe? ?

After eating for a while, Halofa realized that he was worrying too much. This was not just An Sheng, the tiger's table manners were simply better than humans.
