The bacon and milk tea that Luo Yong was not given for free. After leaving Changle County, these Hu people often talked about the courtesy they received in Changle County these days.

"The magistrate of Naro County treats us with bacon and milk tea."

"That's all very expensive food. Their special bacon is very delicious. It's very expensive. It's sold for thirty cents per pound. There are also milk tea made with tea and sheep milk. You will be unforgettable if you drink it once."

"The servants in Changle County are patrolling day and night, and robbers dare not show up in the city. It is very safe there."

"They care about all the big and small things in the city. County Magistrate Luo paid them a high salary and asked them to be kind to the people and past merchants. Unkind servants will lose their jobs..."

The Hu people who have been to Changle County during this period were saying similar words. These words spread to one hundred times. Soon, they spread in Dunhuang and Jinchang and other places.

After these words spread on the market, the fastest reaction was still the merchants in these places.

Just like when tofu appeared in Changle County before, although they did not like the behavior of Changle County people snatching business with them, they did not reject new things.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           �

For a time, many wealthy merchants and households in Dunhuang and Jinchang went to Changle County, and the business of food shops and restaurants in the county also benefited from this.

"Mingfu, these people are clearly not real Hu merchants. They are just here to inquire about our situation. Why do they still give them bacon and milk tea?"

On this day, Luo Yong met a shop in a guesthouse on the street. The man said to Luo Yong angrily.

Luo Yong heard this and asked him with a smile: "Why, have you not earned money in your store these days?"

"But they are here to grab the business!" The purpose of these people coming to Changle County was not simple at all, which made the store very angry.

"Ama, you are a businessman." Luo Yong patted the honest man on the shoulder and said to him:

"For a businessman, connections and channels are very important. They are as important as roads on the wasteland. What a great opportunity now, why don't you know how to cherish it?"

"..." The shopkeeper named Ama couldn't speak for a moment after hearing these words.

This honest man who lived in a small western town in the seventh century only knew how to run his own guesthouse every day. He was happy when the guests came, and he was angry when the peers came. He never knew to think about the issues of connections and channels, nor did he have that concept. He only walked on ready-made roads and never thought of relying on his own strength to build a road.

"So many people have come to our county in the past two days, and the visitors are guests. I hope you can show these guests our happy mind and demeanor."

In later generations, communication meetings between peers are also quite common. People from the same industry gather together just to communicate whether they have access to resources. This time, as the host of Changle County, this time, this is actually a very good publicity opportunity.

Luo Yong has not been idle for the past two days. He kept releasing kindness to the merchants, caring about whether they were comfortable living in the city. In addition, he specially made an appointment with several more famous merchants and wealthy merchants, trying to establish friendship with them, sending out several baskets of bacon as a meeting gift, and even told them generously how to cook milk tea.

"Then, I'll go back first."

After hearing what Luo Yong said, Ama finally remembered that in order to give them a good reputation in Changle County and to let more merchants come here, the new Luo County Magistrate made so much effort, but why didn't he think about it in that direction?

Not only did County Magistrate Luo not be angry with him, he also reminded him to take advantage of this time to develop himself, which made him feel very ashamed.

"Go, you should be more careful these days."

Some people who come from those surrounding areas may have bad intentions. If they are not wary of it, the image and reputation they have created in Changle County over the past few days may be squandered.

After doing ideological work for Ama, Luo Yong hurried back to the county government office. A batch of mutton was smoked at this time. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be able to smoke it today.

The young county magistrate hurriedly passed the street, and some people were drinking and eating vegetables at this time in the shops on both sides of the street.

These people are generally more generous than Hu Shang’s. The bacon that costs thirty cents per pound is also placed on the table.

"Brother, look at the magistrate of Naluo, what medicine is sold in the gourd?"

There was a young businessman who was a little puzzled. They were originally here to inquire and see if they could steal some masters. Why was this Luo County Magistrate made them seem like they were having a festival? Not only did they not see the defensive attitude, they treated them as distinguished guests.

"This coffin board is not simple." His brother touched the stubble on his chin and said with a smile.

Last time, the chef in their shop came here to learn tofu and stayed in Changle County for a few days. After returning, he always said that the magistrate of Luo of Changle County was a good person. Even though he knew that he was not the chef of this county, he also asked him to learn with him. He was very kind. Those who were the bosses said that Luo was not good, but he didn't like to listen to it.

Judging from the situation in the past two days, the wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants who have come back this time can probably not say what is wrong with Luo when they go back.

I ate bacon, drank milk tea, and the store greeted me attentively. The magistrate of Renluo asked you with a smile if you live well, but there were any places where you were not well received. I even announced the way to cook milk tea. In this way, who can tell me what is wrong? Even if there is one, it is a very small number of people.

"No matter how much he does everything, Changle County is still Changle County?" said the younger brother.

"In another two or three years, this small county will probably change its appearance." His brother was very confident in Luo Yong.

"No matter how hard these hundreds of families go, can they still turn into flowers?" Although Changle County has been like a festival in the past two days, compared with the most lively time in Dunhuang, it is not like a rural weed gathering.

"You just look at it." The young man was arrogant and arrogant. He looked down on this and that, and it would not make sense. In the future, he would suffer losses.

At this time, some people in other shops were talking about Luo Yong and Changle County.

"This Luo County Magistrate has done his best to Changle County."

"Tsk, I can't fight. They will be able to get a piece of the pie in the future."

"You don't need to worry, how many merchants in Changle County are there in total?"

“…”

“…”

"That milk tea is really good. After two days of going back, our shop will start cooking too."

"It's just that tea..."

"Send someone to buy it. If there is no Dunhuang, go to Liangzhou City."

"There are, there are, and the number is probably very small."

“It’s okay to have a higher price.”

“…”

“…”

"What do you think of this bacon?"

“It tastes really good, but it’s more expensive.”

"It's good to take some back and sell it in the shop, but you can't make much money."

"Thirty cents are basically the top, and if you add them, few people will want to eat them."

"I wonder if he can reduce the price again."

These people were talking, but soon after, they saw the officers in the county government walking past the street in front of the shop with a load of bacon.

The smell of this mutton that just left the smoked house was really unspeakable. The servants also released news along the way that if the bacon was sold in a single place, it would cost thirty cents per catty. If it was a deal of more than one duct, it would cost 25 cents, if it was more than five ducts, it would cost 23 cents, and if it was more than ten ducts, it would cost 22 cents.

The rich merchants and households who wanted to buy bacon followed the responsibilities of the labour and went to their official shops, worried that they would be snatched away and would not be able to buy them if they were late.

Originally, 25 cents per pound of bacon was not cheap, but compared with the previous price of 30 cents per pound, it saved five cents at once, and many people felt that it was cost-effective.

Besides, most of these merchants have some vision. Changle County’s bacon is really delicious and can become famous in less than a long time. Since this is the case, it is better to buy it late than to buy it early. Even if you don’t make money, you cannot fall behind others.

The load of bacon was finally placed in the yard, and many people were picking around the bacon.

Soon, Luo Yong came over with a smell of bacon. He took a few pieces of bacon from a basket woven by red willow vines, and asked everyone in the yard to taste it and test the quality of this batch of bacon.

The bacon that just left the smoked room tasted really unusual. Someone tasted it and immediately decided to buy it.

"Let's buy one duct together, and each person will share a half duct at that time. How about it?" someone said to an acquaintance around him.

"Half a load is too little, so it's better to buy two loads together. If you only have half a load, I will have one and a half load." said the other Yan.

"What do you want to make so much bacon in your small shop?" the man was surprised.

"In a few days, Hu Shang on the desert will come. We will only point to these few months of this year. If you can keep the bacon, it's okay to buy more." The other party explained.

"This Changle County is close to you. If you don't have enough, just buy it again. Why do you need to buy so much in one breath?"

"Although Changle County is close, this bacon may not be available at all times. You need to be more decisive. Don't wait until you can't buy it before you get angry there."

"Hey, how much do you two want to buy?"

"I haven't decided yet."

"How about this, you and I will buy five dans together?"

“So many?”

"Not too much, no more. If you two are afraid of too much, you will need less. I will need two and a half pounds, or three pounds."

"I want a load!"

"You want one load, you want two and a half loads, and I want one and a half loads. How about it?"

"Can!"

Their people just decided that they were moving fast on the other side and had already weighed them on the scale.

If you have more than five dan, it costs 23 cents per catty, and if you have more than ten dan, it costs 22 cents per catty. Many merchants with more than ten dan do not need to find someone to buy it together, and they can buy the five dans and ten dans alone.

"The freshly smoked meat has more moisture. After hanging it on the beam for a while, it will inevitably lose some weight."

Someone here weighed ten tufts of bacon, and Luo Yong asked him to put one or two more bacon on each basket, which was considered to replenish the weight that would be lost after the water was lost.

"The magistrate of Luo County is generous!"

"This deal is done realistically!"

"Quick, I also call it five dan."

"I want ten chunks."

"We also need five tributes."

“…”
