Chapter 45 Association? Gang?

An old man with white beard walked out of the crowd, stroking his beard and shook his head and said, "It is said that during the Qin Dynasty, an old farmer in Xianyang was poor and hungry. At night, there was a god entrusting his dreams and teaching him the method of making cold skin. He presented this method to the Qin Palace. The First Emperor was very happy and rewarded his family with wealth. However, this method of making cold skin was lost in the war."

"Tsk!" Everyone waved their sleeves at the old man, then turned their eyes to Li Siye, and said loudly: "Li Langjun, pass on this cold-making craftsmanship to us, we can pay the franchise fee! Give it a price!"

Li Siye stuck his hands into his sleeves, stood firmly in the center of the venue, narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said, "Actually, I have deceived everyone about the cake. What the Bear Huo Gang really wants to grab is the secret recipe for making cold skin."

As soon as this said, everyone was shocked, and there were many of them, including Zhuge Liang, who showed off his prescient ideas: "I just said that although this thousand-layer scallion cake is delicious, the craftsmanship is very simple and can be figured out. The method of making cold skin 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, and fight against the Bear Fire Gang with you!"

Li Siye shook his head again: "Although the secret recipe of Liangpi is precious, I don't plan to exchange it for money."

"Then what do you want to exchange for? Silver? Glazed? Is it gold?"

"Contribution points, the contribution points of the Food Association. I publish the task, you take it, get the contribution points, and accumulate enough 10,000 contribution points, I will naturally pass the secret recipe to those who are qualified."

The vendors went silent and began to carefully understand what Li Siye said, the pros and cons. He seemed to have just said that he would set up a food gang, but everyone didn't take it seriously at the beginning. After learning the scallion cake, they would spread it apart. Who knew that Li Siye threw out another secret recipe for cold skin that had been lost since the Qin Dynasty, and revived everyone's desires.

Everyone has learned the thousand-layer scallion pancakes. Even if they are scattered in Chang'an City, they will not make much profit. However, Liangpi Li Langjun said that as long as they accumulate enough contribution points of 10,000, whoever can learn this skill first.

Li Siye threw out another slander: "I can guarantee you that until you get 10,000 contribution points, I will not use cold skin to make money. I want you to witness it again."

Everyone was no longer suspicious, and one question after another was asked: "Can you exchange the contribution points for money?"

"No." Li Siye replied expressionlessly.

"What if we have accumulated enough contribution points and you don't admit it?"

"Then you will kill me by punching me indiscriminately, and the law will not punish everyone."

"Please release the first mission."

"You should call me the president. Listen to it. The first task is that I want all the details of the Xionghuo Gang, worth one thousand contribution points. One person finds one person, and ten people finds ten points."

"The second mission is also a thousand contribution points. It protects my safety around the West City for twenty days. The same as above, the participants will share it equally."

As soon as Li Siye finished speaking, everyone was caught in quarrel and discussion, and it seemed that they were already allocating the contributions. Among the two tasks, the task of protecting was the easiest, but if there were more participants, the contribution points would be diluted. It sounds difficult to find out the details, but as long as you get a big news, it would be more cost-effective than being a 20-day guard.

Li Siye no matter what their arguments were, these people would eventually be tied up by the tasks they issued. This is a very loose but effective management model.

He walked to the warehouse gate, and Sand came to Li Siye with difficulty carrying a basket of copper coins in both hands, and said with a smile: "This money weighs more than 200 kilograms, and it is estimated to be 50,000 yuan. Why don't you count it?"

"No need." Li Siye squatted down, grabbed a handful of copper coins from the heavy basket that was about to fall apart, and stuffed it to the sand and said, "It's done well, what you did tonight is worth a thousand contribution points."

...

Li Siye woke up from the shop and wrapped his quilt tightly. The rustling sound of words outside the door came into his eardrums. He turned his head to look at the door and window. There were many people standing side by side outside the door and leaning out to peek inside. After seeing Li Siye wake up, he quickly turned his head and stood up, like a loyal guard.

He turned his head and saw the copper coin basket beside him. He made so much money again. If Li Meier had known, he still didn't know how happy he would be.

He rubbed his eyes and turned over, stretched his waist, stood up and pushed open the small door and walked out. He suddenly saw that... He was shocked. A man of more than 60 was guarding his door with a short blade in his hand, shouting in unison: "Gangmaster."

What a guy, he looks like a bandit's nest.

"Don't call the leader, call me the president." Li Siye rubbed his head and said with a headache: "Don't gather here. If the people from the West City Bureau see it, they would think we are gathering here to cause trouble."

"But, gang, president." Michagan leaned over and said, "We took on your mission last night and are now earning contribution points to protect your safety."

"There is no need for so many people to stay here, select capable and strong people, and leave more than a dozen people here, so don't delay everyone's business."

"Business is small, and contribution is great, and we are all voluntary."

"Hi, I mean, there is no need to gather together to protect me. For example, if you are Michagan, your store is opposite me, you will be standing opposite to make cakes and monitor the suspicious elements coming and going."

He pointed to the people standing beside him and directed: "And you, whoever does business on this street and who can arrive within five minutes, go back to do business. The remaining dozen people stay here, and there is nothing to do, just walk on the street."

Michagan asked again: "How long is five minutes?"

He almost forgot that they had no idea, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Within a mile."

"President!" A scholar wearing a gauze shirt ran to Li Siye, holding a stack of scattered paper in his hand.

Li Siye looked down and saw that the scholar's cheeks were thin, his eyes were red and blood-tight. It seemed that he was busy fighting for tasks last night and he didn't sleep all night.

"Are you a member of the association?" He couldn't believe how the vendors could get involved in scholars.

"Yes, yes." The scholar said loudly: "This Vice President Mi can prove it to me."

Li Siye turned his head and asked Mi Chagan: "When did you become the vice president?"

Michagan scratched his head shyly: "Everyone recommended it, everyone hopes for it, there is nothing we can do."

"President, President." The scholar grabbed the conversation and tried to attract Li Siye's attention: "Last night we discussed and prepared a list of association personnel, with a total of 136 people. Please take a look first, so that you won't get the time..."

The scholar's subtext is that he is afraid that Li Siye will not admit his account after completing the task, or that he is afraid that people who are unknown from will also sneak in and earn contribution points.

Li Siye took the account book from him and asked while looking through it: "Are they the ones who paid the money to learn cakes last night?"

"Yes, yes, I stayed up all night last night to register my name, and marked it under everyone who signed up for the task. The task of protecting you is to use ink to hook the information, and the task of inquiring about the information is to use cinnabar. This not only consumed cinnabar and ink, but also used three pieces of white hemp paper for me."

Li Siye understood the scholar's meaning, no one can get up early without profit, and no one can do it in vain. He smiled and nodded and said, "I did a good job, I will give you three hundred dollars and 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 turned to the scholars. The reckless men sighed in their hearts, "It's better for scholars." I'm lucky that I've been waiting all morning, and it's not certain how much contribution I can get. The scholar can only register a hundred names and collect five hundred."

The scholar was frightened by the eyes of everyone, and hurriedly lowered his head, followed Li Siye into the store and crossed his hands and said, "President, my name is Gao Shi, I am a down-and-out scholar. I set up a stall in this western market to write letters for a living."
