Because of the method of making ice, the sage gave Xiao Hanzheng a hundred taels of gold.
It seems that this gold is not much, but it represents a kind of honor.
Mo Qingling came to Xiaxi Village with the imperial edict and gold, and the villagers in the whole village were very excited.
In this era, the clan concept is very strong, there is a clan member who can make a difference, except for a few narrow-minded, most people are happy.
The patriarch was also very happy, and brought a few clan elders to congratulate him.
Xiao Hanzheng put the rewarded gold in the room and came out to entertain Mo Qingling and others.
If you don't need it urgently, the gold rewarded will generally not be used.
Mo Qingling found many differences when he came to Xiaxi Village this time.
There are many stalls at the entrance of the village, and many people come and go from the county seat.
I don’t know, I thought Xiaxi Village was a lively town.
Then I saw a few workshops built by the Xiao family. After asking, I found out that it turned out that the Xiao family made mosquito coils and so on.
There are also people who come to buy candy.
Of course, there are also many people who come for the saltpeter.
Since the recipe for ice making was made public, the entire Daliang has been looking for saltpeter mines, but because of the limited level, the ones found are also limited.
Xiaxi Village has a ready-made saltpeter mine that can be mined, which is called hot buns.
There is also a big clan on the side of Fucheng who wants to occupy the saltpeter mine.
It was he who came forward to stop it.
This is the place under his jurisdiction, and other families or people are not allowed to put their hands in.
He grew up in the capital, and this time in Nanxi County was actually the first time he had traveled so far.
also saw poverty that was very different from the prosperity of the capital.
Originally came for the iron mine, but now I really want to do something for the people.
looked at Xiao Hanzheng flowing elegantly and brewing tea that he had never seen before.
Mo Qingling felt that he might have underestimated this couple before.
After taking a sip, it was refreshing and mellow, which was better than the tea he drank before.
"What kind of tea is this?"
Xiao Hanzheng said with a smile, "This is the kung fu tea that my wife learned."
Mo Qingling took another sip, "Very good."
Xiao Hanzheng said generously: "If the adults like it, you can ask the people around you to learn it, and you can drink it yourself when you want to drink it."
The little daughter-in-law said that the current tea has lost its taste if you add some things in it.
Mo Qingling really liked the taste of this light tea soup, "Okay, then thank you!"
After sitting and chatting for a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the Bai family. Why don't you work together on mosquito coils?"
If you cooperate with the Bai family, the Xiao family can also save a lot of trouble.
And he felt that the profit should not be less than that of selling in bulk alone.
Xiao Hanzheng guessed that he would ask this question, and said truthfully: "My lady doesn't just want to make money, but wants to use mosquito coils and other things to drive the development of the entire village..."
He told him what his little daughter-in-law told him, how to revitalize the idea of the stagnant water in Xiaxi Village.
Mo Qingling obviously heard this kind of remark for the first time and couldn't help but think deeply.
The more I think about it, the better I feel.
This method can be used not only in Xiaxi Village, but also in the entire Nanxi County.
He thought about it and asked, "Where's your wife? Can you ask her to come out and say a few words?"
Xiao Hanzheng got up, "Please wait a moment, my lord, I'll call the lady over here."
Shi Qingluo is arranging shipments at the workshop.
She felt that she should cultivate a few helpers, otherwise she would be too tired.
As he was thinking about it, he heard Xiao Hanzheng call, "Miss, Mozhi County wants to see you."
Shi Qingluo put down his work temporarily and went out, "Why does he want to see me?"
Xiao Hanzheng said: "I told him that you want to revive the idea of Xiaxi Village, maybe you want to talk to you about the development of Nanxi County."
Shi Qingluo nodded, "That's fine for a chat."
The development of Nanxi County will be of great benefit to Xiaxi Village.
Walking into the house, Shi Qingluo greeted Mo Qingling, "I have seen the magistrate."
Mo Qingling raised his hand, "No gift, please take a seat!"
Shi Qingluo was not restrained and sat not far away.
The patriarch and others didn't say anything, obviously they already recognized Shi Qingluo in their hearts.
Try it with another woman, you will definitely not be so acquiesced in the appearance of a woman.
Mo Qingling and Shi Qingluo didn't have much contact with each other, but generally thought she was a straightforward person.
So he didn't go around the corner and asked straight to the point: "What do you think Nanxi County should do if it wants to revitalize it?"
Shi Qingluo replied with a smile: "Develop according to local conditions."
Mo Qingling tasted these four words and thought it was very reasonable.
"How to adapt to local conditions?"
Shi Qingluo thought about it and said, "Let me use an analogy. There are many flax species in Nanxi County. If you sell flax alone, your profit will be limited."
"But if it is made into other things, the price will not only go up, but it can also become a specialty product of Nanxi County."
"Such as flax oil, flax paste, flax cake, flax paste, flax head oil, etc."
"When you mention flax in the future, people in Daliang may think of Nanxi County first."
She paused and said, "For example, the mosquito coils we make are called Nanxi mosquito coils. When we talk about mosquito coils in the future, everyone knows that Nanxi County is the place where mosquito coils appear."
"If you want to make flax in the county, you can use Nanxi flax oil and Nanxi flax sauce."
In this era, flax is sesame, which is mostly used for cakes and oil extraction.
She asked in the county seat, there is no sesame sauce yet.
The current food culture of Daliang is relatively simple, most of them are cooking and roasting, and there are very few stir-fries.
Jajangmyeon or anything else.
So it should be good to make sesame sauce.
Mo Qingling completely listened to it. He knew Nanxi County, so he also knew that there were many people planting flax here, both white and black.
But I didn't expect that flax can produce so many things?
Not to mention him, even the patriarchs were taken aback for a moment.
I thought to myself, Dalang's daughter-in-law is really powerful, not only is Dalang blessed, but also the whole village.
Mo Qingling asked curiously, "What is sesame paste? How does it taste?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "The sauce made of flax tastes very good, especially when it is used to dip mutton."
Speaking of which, she wanted to eat mutton soup.
The staple food of Daliang is mutton, chicken and duck, but relatively little pork.
Although Mo Qingling was asking questions, his tone was affirmative, "Can you do it?"
Shi Qing nodded, "Yes!"
She added: "Tomorrow I'll buy some flax to make, and after it's done, I'll send some to the adults to taste."
By the way, you can eat mutton.
Mo Qingling nodded with a smile, "This will trouble the lady of the Xiao family."
"You said flax paste and flax head oil earlier, can you also make them together and see?"
If it is feasible, it can add a lot of characteristics to Nanxi County, and the local economy can also be driven.
Shi Qing nodded generously, "No problem, when it's done, I'll let Xianggong send it to the adults together."
