After negotiated, Liang Youxiao immediately went to find someone to arrange for him to go south.
Shi Qingluo has been busy for the rest of the time, and has been teaching everyone in the workshop to make cans, candles, and soap.
Xiao Hanzheng was also quite busy, so he re-counted the population and the families who were exempt from taxation.
Established several workshops in Heyang County, and after recruiting a lot of people, the county town also gained a lot of popularity.
But just like this, it can only attract some merchants to buy at most.
Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng followed Shi Qingluo's suggestion and renovated the guest house, restaurant and restaurant in the county seat.
Shi Qingluo gave more than 20 cheap recipes and snack recipes here, and Xiao Hanzheng asked these guest houses, restaurants, and food shops to send people over to learn.
Conditional large inns, all refurbished.
The outside is a food shop, and the inside is a yard. You can also change it to some places where you can stay.
Ordinary people in the county town, if they have extra rooms at home, can also be converted into a place to stay.
Many merchants in the Western Regions and Caliphate just stop and go.
When you arrive at a place, if you feel comfortable in every way, you will definitely stay overnight.
Small businessmen who have no money and are reluctant to spend money on expensive inns, this kind of homestay is very suitable.
Rich businessmen can live in renovated inns. The toilets and bathrooms have all been converted into toilets and showers, and the beds have been replaced with soft beds for comfortable storage.
In the past, many merchants from the Western Regions or Dashi would go directly to the North City to stay and live.
I basically never pass through Heyang County, so it is necessary to create some characteristic industries to attract and retain these customers.
There are also businessmen from other places in Daliang, and they have to find a way to keep them.
Only when is popular can a stagnant place be revitalized.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were busy flying.
The canning workshop also collected a lot of grapes, apricots and peaches, all of which were made into canned fruits.
Liang Youxiao brought his cronies over to learn how to make canned fruit.
After learning , he did not take people to the south immediately, but waited for the canned mutton to be opened.
Ten days later.
In addition to the people working in the canning workshop, many people came to join in the fun.
Because I heard that the county magistrate's wife is going to open a can of mutton for everyone to taste, people from the county town who are interested or want to take advantage of it all came.
Xiao Hanzheng keeps people in good order.
Shi Qingluo brought out dozens of cans of mutton.
Each can has a piece of red paper on it, which says what flavor it is.
"This is the canned mutton stewed in our workshop ten days ago. In such a hot day, if it was put outside directly, it would have gone bad."
"So today, let everyone witness together, canned food that can be stored for more than half a year, the meat will not spoil and will not stink."
She dared to let so many people taste it today because she had opened a few cans and tried it two days ago, and it did not deteriorate.
Everyone was shocked when they heard it, so that's what canned food means?
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Madam, can the stewed mutton really last that long?"
Almost everyone present did not believe.
How could it not be bad after so long.
But I heard that these cans were made ten days ago and put in the warehouse.
All of them stared curiously.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Everyone will know if it's real after a taste."
The reason why is free to taste is to make people in the county feel happy and popular.
Secondly, it is mainly for publicity.
After she finished speaking, she took out a can of braised mutton and poked the wooden lid with a dagger.
Qingqing immediately brought over a clean white pottery pot.
Shi Qingluo poured the mutton into a white pottery pot, then held it in the middle, heating it in front of everyone.
Soon, a strong aroma of mutton permeated all around.
Many people couldn't help swallowing.
"It's so fragrant, it's the same smell that wafted out of the workshop before."
"Yes, that's the scent."
"I didn't expect that after so many days, there is still such a fragrance. If we leave it at home for two days, it will all stink."
"I don't know how it tastes? I smelled this scent and wanted to try it, but unfortunately it wasn't sold at that time."
"It smells good, so it shouldn't be too bad."
Now the price of mutton is not high, more than ten cents per pound, but only the wealthy households in the county can eat meat every day, and many ordinary people only buy it once every ten days and a half.
The poorer people can only eat one meal in a month or two.
The northern side is really poor, and the people in the county have no major source of income.
The peasant households had a worse life, they were already poor, and they had to pay more taxes.
So everyone will be staring at the heating cans one by one, and they will be eager to see.
Shi Qingluo opened dozens of cans one after another, letting the people in the county government heat them up one after another.
There are not so many bowls in the county government office, so Shi Qingluo had already picked a lot of big green leaves and washed them.
They cut a lot of thin wooden sticks, put a spoonful of mutton on each green leaf, and poked it with a wooden skewer to eat.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded to him when he saw that Shi Qingluo was ready.
So he said, "Everyone, come and have a taste, don't crowd, queue up to receive it."
The onlookers can't wait for a long time, and they will rush forward in a hurry, all wanting to be in the front of the line to taste.
Shi Qingluo said: "Don't squeeze, everyone has a portion to taste."
Xiao Hanzheng ordered the yamen to maintain order, and finally stabilized the chaotic scene.
The first in line was a middle-aged man who took the mutton wrapped in green leaves, poked a piece of it with a wooden skewer and put it in his mouth.
Then his eyes lit up, "It's delicious, it's delicious too."
Immediately use a wooden skewer to eat the remaining pieces of mutton.
Because he was a wealthy family in the county seat, although he wanted to lick off the mutton soup from the leaves, he was embarrassed.
The second is a poor man.
After tasting it, he was very excited, "It's so delicious, this is the best lamb I've ever eaten in my life."
This person doesn't care about face, he just licked all the juice from the leaves.
The next few people had similar reactions.
also made everyone's eyes straighter, and I can't wait to queue up to have a taste.
Nowadays, people's cooking is basically to stew meat with water and salt, or sprinkle salt with fire and roast it.
So I suddenly ate a lot of seasonings to remove the fishy smell of mutton, and after the yellow stew and braised stew, which was very flavorful, I was naturally shocked.
"It's so delicious, I've never found lamb to be so delicious."
"Yeah, I don't know what to add, it tastes amazing."
"I can taste such delicious mutton in my life, old man, I will be satisfied in the future."
"I didn't expect this canned food to actually be able to stew the mutton for so long without going bad."
"It's amazing, it's actually true. I always thought it was impossible, but after tasting the mutton, I realized that I was too shallow."
None of the people who have tasted it said that it was not delicious. Basically, they all have an aftertaste on their faces, and I can't wait to have a few more.
There were also people who wanted to be opportunistic and secretly wanted to queue up again, but they were arrested by Xiao Hanzheng’s yamen.
