In Changle County, there are still very few scholars. Even in the ranks of workers, many people can’t read a few words.

When people are illiterate, communication between people depends entirely on speaking and imitation of voice. This imitation is easy to cause deviations. Therefore, there is a saying that three people become tigers. Therefore, the people of this era have a vague and inaccurate understanding of many things.

The crickets they mentioned here are actually cookies and cookies. In the past few years, in Chang'an City, whether it is the A-sister's food shop or the north and south groceries, they have not stopped researching and developing new products, and they often communicate.

This cookie is sold in both Ajie Food Store and North and South Grocery. She does not make it herself. She directly gets goods from North and South Grocery, which can save a lot of trouble.

Not only cookies, but also the people Luo Siniang arranged this time, they can cook too much food.

In addition, Aunt Luo also arranged a few people to come here this time, let them come here to see the situation first, follow Luo Yong's arrangements, if the conditions here are ripe, then they will open a branch of the sister's food store in Changle County. If the conditions are not ripe, then let them work in groceries in the north and south first, and then make arrangements after two years. Looking at the development situation in Changle County, it should not be too bad.

Luo Yong asked these senior sister food shops to occupy a piece of space in the snack food area on the second floor of North and South Grocery, and opened a senior sister food shop. The plaques were all done, and the preliminary preparations were almost done, so they were just waiting to open.

Because the shop downstairs is large enough, the snack food area on the second floor is also very large. In addition to Ajie Food Store, there are also various cakes, braised and boiled, and pulp-drinks. The place is very spacious, and the shops are relatively sparse, which look like a small square.

This small square has a cover, but there are no walls around it. There are only cement railings half a person high. Each shop is separated from the shop, with tables and chairs placed in it.

In addition, some open spaces are reserved. If there are other food shops in the future, you can build walls on these open spaces and divide the shops. These are all planned and designed in advance.

At present, these open spaces are just made of cement and placed on straw cushions for people to sit and rest.

Changle County is not as popular as Chang'an City. It is very popular all year round, and there are off-season and peak seasons here.

Businessmen usually travel to Le County during summer and autumn. There are white laminates and cashmere transactions in winter. In addition, many herders have come to them to sell live sheep in the past two years, so winter is also more lively. Relatively speaking, spring is the most lightest.

At the same time, the shop downstairs is also busy preparing for opening. Now that the time has entered summer, one more day will be delayed, and one less day of business will be needed.

In order to promote the opening of this branch, Luo Yong's disciples asked the Gaochang merchants and Yiwu merchants to speak out early, saying that all goods will be sold at 10% off on the first ten days of the opening of this north-south grocery.

They even went to the morning market where fish was taken out before dawn. The shop, North and South groceries, was about to open on the first day of July. It will be 10% off for the first 10th of the first half of the year, allowing the fish sellers to spread the news to Hehe Shu, Baiguanguanzhao and other places.

This news is well known in Changle County and the surrounding Dunhuang and Jinchang. Many farmers are waiting for the opening day to buy a cotton gin.

There are also a large family with a large population who buy goods that are often used as cars at a time. A 10% discount for them means that they can save a lot of money. For example, various sauces produced in Changle County are sold at a fixed price. No matter how much you buy, there is no discount. Generally, you only give a few more spoons as a bonus.

By the first day of the seventh lunar month, the midsummer was already over and the summer was slightly over. When the summer was over, the store of North and South Grocery opened as scheduled.

Early in the morning, many people were waiting outside the shop. When the store door opened, they flocked in. As for the lively opening scenes outside the store door, they had no time to watch them, and they just went to what they wanted to buy.

Although this newly launched promotion will take a full ten-day period, everyone is afraid that some of the most intimate products will be out of stock early, such as the cotton gin, which was often out of stock earlier.

As soon as I entered the shop, I saw rows of shelves that were more than one person tall, row after row, as if I couldn't see the end, and each shelf was filled with goods.

Each product has a price tag, and the label has a name and a price. The most prominent one is the number that was circulated from Xipo Village back then, as well as Chinese characters, Turkic characters, and Sogdian characters.

This grocery store in Longxi is opened in addition to taking into account the local market, but also mainly engages in business of merchants from various countries in the Western Regions.

Among the countries in the Western Regions, the most common ones are Chinese and Turkic. The reason why the Sogdians are marked is because their group is extremely active in business and is a very important customer group.

While some people were still shocked by the shelves and countless goods, others had already pushed onto the shopping carts and looked for the goods they wanted to buy.

Warehouse shopping malls like this cannot be without the help of shopping carts. There are two types of shopping carts here, one is a lightweight trolley with red wicker weaving as the main body, and the other is a larger trailer for carrying heavy objects.

Pushing the shopping cart, I continued walking in. On the row of shelves facing the wall in front, there were a long row of cashmere products sold.

Although everyone knew that Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop was very open, few people could tell how many styles their workshop could make. At this time, they saw so many styles so intuitively placed on the shelves, which made people dazzled and shocked.

Next to cashmere products is a row of shelves selling facial towels, and not far away are shelves selling cakes. Most of the cakes in this shop are cakes wrapped in oil paper, which is quite resistant to the placement.

The salesperson in charge of this shelf held a food box in his hand and took out all kinds of cakes from it and asked passers-by to taste it. A customer in front had tasted a few pieces. After asking about the shelf life of these cakes, he packed a cart of cakes of various flavors in his shopping cart, and asked the servant to push them to settle first. He also had to check other things.

If you want to say that the business is the hottest, it is the area where cotton gins are sold, where cotton gins of various sizes are placed.

The smallest one is a small wooden box, which can be taken away by covering the lid and hanging it on the shoulder. The largest one is a little larger than a threshing machine. It takes several people to work together to lift it. For such a large cotton gin, rolling white stacks must be very fast. Many people are tempted, but the price is too high and they can't afford it.

In addition to cotton gins, there are also threshing machines, swallow flying, wooden rail carriages, etc., and even boilers. The large boiler is placed on an open space with fences around it, so people can only watch outside the fence.

I heard that they almost stopped biogas in Changle County last winter, and later they survived because they built this kind of boiler.

The price of this boiler is also very expensive, and ordinary people can only watch the excitement. They can never afford it. In other words, some wealthy merchants are wondering whether to buy one before taking advantage of the discounts at the moment and put it in.

Some people left after checking, while others were planning and planning, and there was a special salesperson explaining the usage and use of this boiler.

"Is this boiler burning charcoal?" someone asked.

“That’s right, charcoal is OK.”

"Can't burn firewood?"

"Boiled firewood is not easy to use to burn boilers. The heat is not enough, and the people who burn it are too tired. Look at this boiler..."

"I'm going to buy charcoal again."

"I heard that the price of Iwu's charcoal has increased a lot in the past two years."

"I don't know who the charcoal seller should go, and I'm afraid I'll be deceived by that slanderous vendor."

"There are those who sell charcoal in Jinchang and Dunhuang. Why don't we go and have a look together another day."

"If you want to buy charcoal, there will be a batch in Changle County. The county magistrate is raising money to build the canal. The charcoal I bought earlier will be sold at a low price now."

"Sure? Why haven't we heard of it?"

"You all go to the county government to ask and you will know. It is also the news that has just been released in the past two days."

"Thank you!"

"Hey, I'm so kind. You guys will consider this boiler again. It's rare to have a 10% discount on sales opportunities. When the biogas tank technology becomes popular, you will have to buy this boiler sooner or later."

"Since you have to buy it sooner or later, why are you so anxious to sell the goods now?"

"Hahaha! The store borrowed a lot of money from the sister's food shop to build this shop earlier, and is now in a hurry to raise money to pay off the debt!"

"I heard that the floor above uses a lot of fine iron?"

"No, many of us locals came to watch the fun during the construction of the house."

"Na Luo Erniang is really rich."

"This is nothing. I heard that she bought a lot of real estate in Liangzhou City in her early years. In the past two years, due to the abundant white flower production in Hexi, the land price in Liangzhou City has increased sharply, and now it has increased several times."

"Tsk, there is such an older sister. The magistrate of the County Naluo even said that he had no money and wanted to sell charcoal."

"Don't you make money if he sells charcoal?"

"When he bought those charcoal, how much is it? How much is it now?"

"Don't be jealous. If he weren't a person who could make money, could he still be able to build the canal?"

"I heard that I have saved money for many years..."

“…”

After all, the price of this boiler is too expensive, and many people are reluctant to buy it. There are many people watching it, and only those who really start.

A few days later, a group of Sogdians came to Changle County and rushed to the north and south to sweep the groceries. The boiler alone demanded ten units in one breath. Later, some other caravans arrived, and even the Anxi guardian Guo Xiaoke led a team of personal soldiers to buy goods.

After these people, some large cotton gins, threshing machines, boilers and other products in the shop began to be out of stock.

Some people were reluctant to let it go before, but they wanted to buy it again at this time, but it was too late.

Some caravans ordered thorite mesh from Changle County. They did not want finished biogas lamps. They only needed mesh. The lampshade workshop rolled up the processed mesh like cloth and sold the whole roll. The batch of goods shipped to Chang'an City before were also done in this way.

Nowadays, some of these goods are placed on the shelves of groceries in the north and south. They can be purchased in whole rolls or discussed with the salesperson in the shop and cut them according to the quantity they want.

Some familiar Hu merchants asked Luo about the construction method of biogas tanks, and Luo Yong asked them to come back in one or two years.

He said that although the method of biogas tank is relatively mature, it has not been promoted. The Han people have not yet used this method and have not taught it to the Gentiles first, so that they can come back next year and next. By that time, the method of biogas tank has been spread among the people. At that time, the method of biogas tank will be popularized by the people. At that time, the Hu merchants will learn it, so naturally no one can stop them.

This time, Guo Xiaoke came to Changle County and also asked Luo Yong to talk about building a biogas pool. Luo Yong did not refuse this time and arranged a few people to follow him to build a biogas pool.

In addition, Guo Xiaoke also bought several boilers from Luo Yong and others, and some of them were transported back to Gaochang, while the remaining few were transported to Jiuquan.

Luo Yong guessed that the boilers transported to Jiuquan may not be used to heat the biogas tank, but may be transported to the mining area for heating.

The weather in Jingtieshan Mine is severely cold and there is little vegetation. There is no need to find much firewood for making fire in that place. However, after the wooden tracks are opened, it is convenient for the iron ore in the mountains to be transported out, and also convenient for the coal outside to be transported in.

Guo Xiaoke has been very busy recently and needs to strengthen border defenses to prevent Turkic attacks. He also needs to make money everywhere to provide financial support to the mining search team on his eldest son.

I heard that several more groups of people rushed from Gaochang to Jiuquan. Luo Yong and Tang Jian both guessed that they were going to mine.

Ordinary people don’t know so much about it, nor do they care about it. Recently, many local people in Changle County have become fascinated by the various snacks on the second floor of north and south groceries.

Most of the snacks in A-sister’s food shop are adapted to local conditions, with good quality and low price, so many people can afford them. The shop next to it that sells butter cakes is only jealous of them.

There were also those women from good families who came from groups who rode in wooden carriages just to eat a cream cake from the north and south groceries.

The most popular one is the fragrant orange cake. The orange paste produced in Huainan is added. It is a place where fragrant orange paste is produced in Huainan. The locals use orange juice to squeeze the juice and then boil it on slow fire to make thick paste. This orange paste is also used to make the cake in Chang'an. It has been made for two or three years, and the ladies in Chang'an City also love it very much.

Longxi is not as good as Chang'an. It is too far away from Huainan, which produces oranges. Many locals will never know the taste of oranges in their lives.

These food shops on the second floor of North and South Grocery not only brought them the smell of oranges, but also brought many foods that they had never been able to touch before.

Two places like Jinchang and Dunhuang are close to each other. Whenever locals want to eat, they will come here in a wooden carriage, or send their family servants to buy them. Overall, it is quite convenient.

However, places like Gaochang Yiwu are far away and it is not easy to travel around. The wealthy people in these two places are either attracted by food or value the development prospects of Changle County. Recently, many people have planned to buy production in Changle County.

There are many real estate properties in the Changle County Gongfu. Luo Yong let people take advantage of this time the market is good and sell some depending on the situation.

Some people think the price is too high and question whether Luo Yong intends to make a big profit before leaving office. Luo Yong said that the reason why this grocery in Changle County, which can be opened is because the road is accessible and transportation is convenient. This time, all the money and silk from selling houses in Changle County will be donated to Guo Duhu to build roads.

When Guo Dupu heard about this, he was very moved. Although the Guo family will soon have a mine, there is not yet.

This is a mining area that provides money to build roads. Even as an Anxi Protector and a boss of the entire Longyou Road, there are quite a few places to come, but spending money too quickly and making ends meet.

In order to express his gratitude, Guo Xiaoke asked the people around him to give Luo Yong a golden horse, saying that he wishes him a bright future for him to return to Chang'an City this time.

Luo Yong saw that the golden horse was so small. He recalled that Guo Xiaoke came here to take office in Le County in the past. At that time, Luo Yong could not give him some white wine and food. He gave Luo Yong several gold decorations with great wealth. This time, Luo used heavy bleeding to donate money to build roads, so he took out such a small golden horse, tied a string to hang his neck as a pendant, and it was not eye-catching.
