Chapter 424

After the negotiation, 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 tax-exempt families.

After establishing several workshops in Heyang County and recruiting many 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.

For ordinary people in the county, those with spare rooms at home can also be converted into accommodation.

Many Western Regions and Caliphate merchants 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.

The wealthy big businessman can live in the renovated inn. 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 Caliphate would go directly to the North City to stay and live.

Basically, they 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.

When you become popular, you can revitalize a stagnant place.

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 fruit.

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, all the people who are interested in the county seat or want to take advantage of it come here.

Xiao Hanzheng kept people in good order.

Shi Qingluo brought out dozens of canned mutton.

A piece of red paper is attached to each can with what flavor it is written on.

"This is the canned mutton stewed in our workshop ten days ago. On such a hot day, it would have been damaged if it was left directly outside."

"So today I will 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 this is what canned food means?

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Ma'am, can the stewed mutton really last that long?"

Almost everyone present did not believe it.

How could it not be bad after so long.

However, I heard that these cans were made ten days ago and placed in the warehouse.

They all stared at each other curiously.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Everyone will know if it's true after a taste."

The reason why it is free to taste is to make people in the county feel happy and popular.

The second is mainly for publicity.

After she finished speaking, she took out a can of braised mutton and poked the wooden lid with a dagger.

Everyone heard a "puff" sound.

Shi Qingluo then unscrewed the bottle cap.

Qingqing immediately brought a clean white pottery pot over.

Shi Qingluo poured the mutton into the white pottery pot, then Qingqing held it in the middle, heating it in front of everyone.

Soon, a strong mutton fragrance filled the surrounding.

Many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"It's so fragrant, it's the same smell that wafted out of the workshop before."

"That's right, 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 taste a few bites, but unfortunately it wasn't sold at that time."

"It smells good. It shouldn't be too bad to eat."

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.

Poorer families may only have one meal in a month or two.

It is really too poor here in northern Xinjiang, and people in the county have no major source of income.

The peasant households had a worse life, they were already poor and had high taxes.

So everyone will be staring at the heating cans one by one, and they are about to see it.

Shi Qingluo opened dozens of cans one after another, allowing the people in the county government to heat them up one after another.

The county government didn't have that many bowls, so Shi Qingluo had already picked a lot of big green leaves and washed them.

They also cut a lot of thin wooden sticks, slapped a spoonful of mutton on each green leaf, and poked it with a wooden stick to eat.

Seeing that Shi Qingluo was ready, Xiao Hanzheng nodded to him again.

So he opened his mouth and 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 Qing said: "Don't squeeze, everyone has something to taste."

Xiao Hanzheng ordered the yamen to maintain order, and finally stabilized the chaotic scene.

At the front of the 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, "Delicious, this is delicious too."

Then immediately use a wooden skewer to eat the remaining pieces of mutton.

Because he was considered a wealthy family in the county seat, although he wanted to lick off all the mutton soup from the leaves, he was embarrassed.

The second is a poor man.

After tasting it, I was very excited, "It's so delicious, this is the best mutton I've ever eaten in my life."

This person doesn't care about face, and directly licks all the juice from the leaves.

The next few people had similar reactions.

I also saw that everyone's eyes were straighter, and I can't wait to queue up to have a taste.

Nowadays, people cook, basically use water and salt to stew meat, or sprinkle salt with fire and roast it.

So I suddenly eat a lot of seasonings, remove the fishy smell of mutton, and taste the yellow stew and braised stew, and I am naturally shocked.

"It's so delicious, I've never found mutton 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, and it won't go bad after so long."

"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 had an aftertaste on their faces.

There were also people who wanted to opportunistically and secretly wanted to queue up again, but they were arrested by Xiao Hanzheng's yamen.
