From that day on, Chen Zhi had people keep an eye on Su Mo, but he stayed in the village all day, and the people in the sugar factory had all retired from the battlefield.These few people were discovered before they got close, so they could only sneak around in circles.

These people were noticed by Xiao Wu and the others, and reported to the two of them.

Su Mo said, "Don't worry about them, just keep an eye on them, just one point, don't let them enter the factory."

"Don't worry, how can these three-legged cats get in." Xiao Wu snorted.

Su Mo smiled, "Then I don't worry, they can see the rest if they want to, it's just a wall, I'm afraid he can see a flower?"

"However." Su Mo stroked his chin, "Who would send these people?"

Zhuo Yan remembered the news from Xiao Liu, "It should be from the Chen family."

"Chen family?"

"Hmm! The eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Zhi, has arrived in Yuncheng a few days ago, and he should be here for the sugar appreciation meeting which is held every three years. But this year, something happened to you, so he came to Yuncheng ahead of time."

Su Mo asked, "What is the Sugar Appreciation Society?"

Zhuo Yan recalled that Su Mo didn't know about the Candy Appreciation Association, and explained, "The Sugar Appreciation Association is held in Yuncheng every three years, mainly for the selection of the royal family, and the internal supply of sweets for the next three years. At this time of the year , all the sugar merchants in Yuncheng will gather here, not asking for anything else, just hope that their own sugar can show their face at the sugar appraisal meeting."

Su Mo immediately understood, "That is to say, the government will select the best quality sugar at the Sugar Appraisal Meeting, and provide frosted sugar to the royal family in the next three years, right?"

"Yes." Zhuo Yan turned around, "But since the three great families formed an alliance, this so-called Sugar Appraisal Society is just a formality."

Su Mo frowned, "Could there be any tricks here?"

Zhuo Yan denied, "That's not true. It's just that decades ago, although the ancestors of the Mei family announced the art of frosting sugar to the world, they didn't let the three major families monopolize it. But after all, they took the first opportunity from the beginning, so they are good at making sugar. Above one, the three major families have always been the champions. And Jian Tang will gradually become the home of the three, and the rest of the small sugar merchants can only go in and experience it."

Su Mo asked strangely, "Could it be that after so many years, no other sugar merchants have produced better sugar?"

"That's unknown, but even if there is, it's possible that he was crushed to death without even taking a risk." Xiao Wu took up the conversation from the side.

When he said this, Su Mo understood that the three major families had monopolized the sugar industry for so many years, so it was naturally impossible for others to come out, and the methods involved must be shady.

But that was someone else, but he was not afraid.

Then he asked Zhuo Yan, "Is there any procedure for participating in the Candy Appreciation Association?"

"Just submit an application to the government office. Are you going to participate in this year's Sugar Appreciation Fair?"

"Of course I will, since I have entered this profession, I must be the best one." Su Mo said.

"But..." Xiao Wu.

Zhuo Yan glanced at him, Xiao Wu, "..."

Zhuo Yan turned his head and said to Su Mo softly, "If you want to do it, just do it."

Seeing that he had said that, Xiao Wu had no choice but to swallow the words back, forget it, anyway, he was the one who broke his leg.

The people sent by Chen Zhi couldn't get close to the sugar factory, so they had to think of other ways.

Hearing that the owners of these small workshops got some kind of invitation card, they went to someone to inquire about it, bought one from others with money, and sent it to Chen Zhi, which was regarded as a business transaction.

Chen Zhifan looked at the invitation in his hand, looked at it for a while, and handed the invitation to Chen Yue, "What do you think he means?"

Chen Yue couldn't see anything bright, so he thought for a while and said, "Young Master, there is no rush for this matter. When the time comes, just find someone to sneak in and have a look."

The boy who sent the post boldly said, "Master, I'm afraid it won't work."

The two looked at him together, "Why not?"

The boy said nervously, "I heard from that person that this post was sent to the door by family members of Su Mo's subordinates, and they all met each other. If the name does not match the person at that time, they will not be allowed to enter." of."

With such strict precautions, Chen Zhi felt more and more that there was a problem.

"It's a simple matter. When the time comes, just buy a small Fangzhu and let him go in to find out some news."

The time came in a blink of an eye. On the day of the Merchants Fair, the owners of small workshops all over Yuncheng rushed to the river.

On that day, the owners of small workshops from all over Yuncheng came one after another.

Then she was invited into the house by Aunt Wang, and a large empty room was left behind the back cover for receiving guests.The original sugar factory was also moved to the factory.

Tables and chairs are arranged on both sides, and snacks and tea are served one by one.

I didn't see the owner in the room, but I saw two servants coming and going to say hello, and when I asked, I replied that I would wait for everyone to arrive.

Some people sat and chatted with those around them. When they mentioned Su Mo, they mentioned Mei Shi. Everyone still admired this person who made frosting sugar and announced the method to the world.

Some people couldn't sit still and wanted to go out for a walk, but they were blocked by two men when they reached the door.

Just when I was about to yell, when I met the other party's eyes, my heart skipped a beat.Don't look at these two people, one is missing an arm, and the other is blind, but the temperament is full. At first glance, it looks like they want to cut a piece of flesh from a person.

The man didn't dare to say any more, and returned to his seat in despair.

In this way, when it came to Si time, Su Mo saw that the time was almost up, and the remaining people who hadn't come yet probably wouldn't come either, so they didn't wait.

Su Mo pushed Zhuo Yan to sit on the main seat.

The owners of these small workshops were no strangers to the name Su Mo, but this was the first time they had seen him in person.

Because the business at home was affected, most of these people held the idea of ​​seeing what he had to say, and what they showed was a rejection attitude.

Su Mo didn't care, and made a brief self-introduction before getting to the point.

"Everyone who came here must have received the post I sent." Just as Su Mo made an opening remark, someone below shouted impatiently, "Su Xiaolang, don't talk about these scenes! You put all of us Come on guys, just tell me what it is for!"

"Yes!"

"Say it, don't keep it up!"

"Is it possible that you know that you can't do things well, and you specially invited me here to apologize?"

The attitude of these people is definitely not good, and when people get emotional, they are easily agitated. In addition, because of business matters, they themselves have resentment towards Su Mo, and more and more people are talking.

All of a sudden, the whole house was noisy, like a vegetable market.

Fangzhu Song and Fangzhu Zhou sat together, they were talking in a low voice, Fangzhu Zhou said, "What do you think, Brother Song?"

Fangzhu Song whispered, "Brother Zhou just watch, since he has invited so many people, he won't do useless work!"

Seeing that the commotion was getting worse and worse, Zhuo Yan frowned slightly, and said, "Quiet!"

These two words imply internal power, and they swept over like a tornado, making these people's ears buzzing, and it took a long time before they retreated.

Now everyone knows that sitting next to Su Mo and looking at the insignificant man is not a good person. Originally, he was sitting in a wheelchair, so they knew that he was the crippled husband the Su family found for Su Mo. Although he didn't show it, he felt somewhat disdainful in his heart.

But now that Zhuo Yan made a move, these people became quiet and did not dare to speak indiscriminately.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Mo was satisfied.

Fangzhu Song stood up at this time and rounded up the situation. He said with a smile, "I don't know, Young Master Su, what is the purpose of inviting us this time? What exactly does this business invitation refer to?"

Su Mo glanced at Fangzhu Song. This person had been sitting quietly since just now, so he knew that he was a calm person.He smiled, "This..."

"My surname is Song."

"Song Fangzhu." Su Mo called out kindly, then looked around, and said, "I know that in the past two months, because of the candy house, everyone's business has been affected, so everyone has resentment in their hearts. I can also understand."

You understand what a fart!Someone secretly thought, but a pair of Zhuo Yan's cold eyes swallowed the words back.

"So, I invite everyone here this time to solve this matter." Su Mo dropped a sentence.

Let the people below start talking.

Some people whispered whimsically, "Could it be that he wants to pass on the sugar-making technology of caramel to me?"

"You are dreaming!" The person sitting next to him said contemptuously, "Which one is hiding the secret technique? Didn't you see that Master Su was so anxious because of this? Even his own father If you don’t pass it on, you pass it on to you?”

After discussing like this for a while, Su Mo cleared his throat when these people had finished talking, "Daqi is so big, I can't finish the sugar business by myself."

Before he could finish speaking, someone from below shouted excitedly, "Su Xiaolang, do you want us to leave Yuncheng and go to other places to find a way to survive? Not to mention that everyone sitting here has lived here for generations. Leaving your hometown? Besides, sugar cane cannot be grown elsewhere, and without raw materials, sugar cannot be produced naturally. Moreover, the sugar shops of the three major families are all over Daqi, so there is no place for us.”

These words spoke to the hearts of all present.

Su Mo waited for him to finish speaking before saying, "That's not what I meant!"

Fangzhu Song said, "Su Xiaolang, just speak up! I think everyone is eager to know the result."

"Okay!" Su Mo could tell that these people were quite angry, so he said directly, "I wonder if everyone is interested in opening a store like a candy store?"

All of a sudden, everyone was dumbfounded. Fangzhu Song and Fangzhu Zhou looked at each other and saw the tension in each other's eyes. He licked his lips, "I don't know what Su Xiaolang is referring to?"

Su Mo stood up, and suddenly lifted the large wooden board that had been covered with a red cloth, on which a map of Daqi was drawn with a charcoal pen. Of course, the map was a rough frame, and he dared not draw it in detail.

He took a charcoal pen, lightly drew two dots on the place representing Yuncheng, and said, "Daqi is so big, and I want to open candy houses all over Daqi in the next few years."

As soon as these words came out, the people below all took a deep breath, what a big breath, how dare they boast so much.

Even the three major aristocratic families at the beginning were generation after generation, and it took many years to establish the current foundation.

But now there is a little twin who actually dares to say such arrogant words. In just a few years, he wants to open only two or three shops to the entire Daqi territory.

Isn't this an idiot's dream?

So much so that some people looked at Su Mo as if they were looking at a lunatic.

Even Zhuo Yan took a few glances at Su Mo. When he heard Su Mo's plan, he thought it was too crazy.

But seeing Su Mo's radiant look when he talked about business, Zhuo Yan felt that no matter what he wanted to do, he had to support him behind his back.
