441 Is it really that good?
After the morning court, Prince Jin didn’t delay and went directly to the northern border with his men.
Many families were also tempted to get a share of the loot.
But they didn’t dare to take advantage of the emperor’s opening of a workshop, so all of them targeted the Liang family and the other families.
It wasn’t an insignificant limelight, but it also annoyed these few old masters.
They could only pretend to be sick and not take in guests.
They were both happy and in pain.
And because the emperor wanted to open a workshop, canned food and soap became popular in the capital.
Many people wanted to try canned food.
Some merchants, who had long seen business opportunities, transported mutton and canned fruit from the northern border to the capital.
Then, before one of the merchants could think of how to sell it, he had just entered the city and the goods had not been unloaded, the passers-by asked what it was.
He answered that it was canned food.
boxn ovel. c0mJust as he was about to explain what canned food was and was planning to open two cans and heat them on the spot for everyone to see and smell, who would have thought that before he could do so, he would hear a young man exclaim, “What? This is canned food? How are you selling these jars of canned food? I’ll buy all of it.”
“Why are you so shameless? Do you think we don’t exist?”
“That’s right. What’s it all about? We also want to buy a few cans.”
“Boss, how much do you sell for a can? Give me 50 cans with different flavors.”
“I’ll have 50 as well.”
“I want 30 cans.”
The merchant was speechless.
Was he dreaming?
However, he quickly realized that it wasn’t a dream.
These people were really crazy.
As a result, the canned mutton cost 100 wen and the canned fruit cost 80 wen, and they were quickly sold out.
If it wasn’t for the rules in Heyang County that stated that canned meat could not be sold for more than 100 wen and canned fruit could not be sold for more than 80 wen, and that anyone who broke the rules would not be allowed to sell them in the future, he would have sold them at a higher price.
However, he did not expect that such expensive canned food would sell so well.
On his first day in the capital, he sold all the canned food he brought, but it was still not enough…
If he had known earlier, he would have pulled a few more carts.
The merchants didn’t know that this was all thanks to the old masters and the emperor.
Nowadays, it had become a new trend that any family that could eat canned meat could show off for a few days.
These merchants made a fortune and stayed in the capital for a night.
Without hesitation, they immediately rushed to the northern border to sell more canned food.
There were also many merchants who were transporting the goods towards the richer Jiangnan region.
There were also people who saw a bigger business opportunity and wanted to imitate the production of canned meat and fruit.
Boiling fruits with sugar gave a similar taste.
However, no matter how hard they tried, he couldn’t mimic how canned meat tasted.
They didn’t even know how to start.
They tried it with stewed mutton and then put it in an empty can.
Who knew that it would stink the next day?
These people also understood that there must be some trick to sealing the can, which was why the can would not spoil for more than half a year.
They could not imitate it at all.
Because of this, more spies headed to Heyang County to steal the recipe.
In a short while, waves of merchants headed towards Heyang County.
Many others followed suit and headed to Heyang County.
A few days later, a group of people entered Heyang County.
As soon as they entered the county, they saw many stalls on the side of the road.
They were selling a lot of food that they had never seen before, and there were also shouts.
“Tanghulu, delicious tanghulu.”
“Cold noodles, fresh and tasty cold noodles.”
“Iced melon, sold in slices.”
“Iced grape juice. Having a cup of it on such a hot day will cool your body.”
“Delicious mutton pies and pork pies.”
“Sweet and delicious wolfberry cake, freshly baked wolfberry cake.”
“Hot and tender tofu…”
There were many people standing in front of the stalls to buy them, and even long queues.
Shi Qingluo felt that there were too few snacks in the county town.
With so many people coming, they wouldn’t make a loss from this investment.
Therefore, a month ago, she taught everyone how to make snacks at the county government as long as she was free.
Of course, they had to be inspected by the county government.
They had to be of good character, had no criminal records, and were from poor families before she would teach them.
The county government had specially came up with a plan for them to set up stalls, turning the streets into one full of all kinds of snacks.
Shi Qingluo even taught everyone how to make tofu for free.
Anyone who wanted to learn could come and learn, be it those in the county or the villages.
Because of this, there were many more tofu sellers in the county.
There were also villagers who made it and carried it on the shoulder pole everywhere, earning some money every day.
Some sprinkled the tender tofu with seasoning or added sugar to sell it.
The business was quite good.
Liang Mingyu looked at the lively food street and the bustling crowd.
It almost felt like he was in Northern City.
If it weren’t for the fact that the streets were old and dilapidated, and many people were dressed shabbily, he would have thought that he had arrived at a bustling prefecture city.
Moreover, he found that these people’s faces were different.
Most of them were smiling, unlike the people in the county towns and villages he had passed by before, who either looked sad or lifeless.
Heyang County was really different.
Liang Mingmin pushed open the window of the carriage and looked out.
She also realized that this place was a little different from what she had imagined.
She had thought that it would be like the county towns she had passed by before, dilapidated and not lively.
It was quite lively here.
Although the snacks smelled good, she found them dirty and disdainful.
“Liang Mingyu, are we going to the inn or the county government office?” she asked.
“Let’s go to the inn first,” Liang Mingyu, who was riding a horse beside her, said.
He wanted to take a look around and understand the current Heyang County before he went to find Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
Liang Mingmin nodded. “Sure.”
She was exhausted from the long journey and wanted to find a place to take a shower and sleep.
If she had known that the journey was long and bumpy, and the places they passed by were poor, shabby, and disgusting, she would not have followed along.
Seeing that she had agreed, Liang Mingyu couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
It took them a few days to reach Heyang County, and it was all because of her nitpicking.
He asked around and brought everyone else to the best inn in Heyang County.
Their luck was good.
They happened to meet a caravan checking out of an A-grade room, and his men immediately paid for the room.
As soon as they booked the rooms, people came to ask one after another, asking for A-grade and B-grade rooms.
This made Liang Mingyu very surprised.
It looked like this inn’s business was still very good.
Not only were the rooms full, but there also didn’t seem to be enough rooms.
Liang Mingmin was also a little confused.
She didn’t expect that staying in an inn in such a dilapidated little county would be so crowded.
Was it really that good? She didn’t think so.
Then, they went to the A-grade house.
She quickly discovered the difference.
Not only was the room very well furnished, but it also had many things that other inns didn’t have.
There was even a separate toilet and bathroom.
The toilet was very clean.
It could flush automatically, and there was soft toilet paper beside it.
The was a separate bathroom, and she could actually shower while standing.
This was the first time that Liang Mingyu and Liang Mingmin had seen this, let alone the foreign businessmen.
No wonder this inn’s business was so good, even they couldn’t find any problems with it.
