In Changle County, there are still very few scholars.
Even in the police force, many people are illiterate.
When people are illiterate, communication between people relies solely on speaking and imitating sounds.
This imitation can easily lead to deviations, which is why there is a saying that three people make a tiger.
Therefore, people in this era have poor understanding of many things.
They are all vague and inaccurate.
The crickets they are talking about here are actually cookies.
Over the years in Chang'an City, whether it is Ajie Food Store or North and South Grocery, they have not stopped researching and developing new products, and they often communicate with each other.
These cookies are sold at Ajie's Food Store and Nanbei Grocery Store.
Ajie Foodstore does not make them themselves.
It saves a lot of trouble to get them directly from Nanbei Grocery Store.
It's not just cookies.
The people Luo Siniang arranged to come here this time know how to cook a lot.
In addition, Aunt Luo also arranged for a few people to come here this time, asking them to come here first to see the situation and follow Luo Yong's arrangements.
If the conditions here are mature, they will open a sister restaurant in Changle County.
If the conditions are not yet mature for the shop's branch, then let them work in the North and South Grocery Store first, and then make arrangements after two years.
Anyway, she thinks that the development situation of Changle County should not be too bad.
Luo Yong asked the people from Sister's Food Shop to directly occupy a space in the snack food area on the second floor of the North and South Grocery Store and open a Sister's Food Shop.
The plaque was ready and all the preliminary preparations were done.
It's almost there, just waiting for it to open.
Because the shop downstairs is large enough, the snack food area on the second floor is also very large.
In addition to Sister's Food Shop, there are also various bakeries, stewed products, and drinks.
The place is very spacious, and the shops are relatively small.
It's relatively sparse and looks like a small square.
This small square is covered, but there are no walls around it.
There are only concrete railings about half a person's height.
Each shop is separated by a separate pavilion, and there are tables and chairs in the shop.
In addition, some open spaces have been reserved.
If other food shops move in in the future, walls can be built on these open spaces to separate shops.
These are all planned and designed in advance.
At present, these open spaces are just made of cement beds and woven straw cushions for people to sit and relax.
Changle County is not as popular as Chang'an City.
It is very popular all year round.
There are off-season and peak seasons here.
Traders usually travel to Changle County in summer and autumn.
In winter, they also sell white flowers and cashmere.
In addition, many herdsmen come to them to sell live sheep in the past two years, so winter is also more lively, relatively speaking. , the weakest in spring.
At the same time, the shops downstairs are also busy making preparations for opening.
It has already entered summer.
One more day of delay will mean one less day of business.
In order to publicize the opening of this branch, Luo Yong's disciples asked Gaochang merchants and Yiwu merchants to tell them early that all products in this north-south grocery store would be sold at a 10% discount for the first ten days.
They even went to the morning market selling fish in the city before dawn.
It was said that the North and South Grocery Store was going to open on the first day of July and offered a 10% discount on the first ten days of the opening, so that the fish sellers spread the news to Hehe garrison. , Baizhang Shouchu and other places.
In Changle County and surrounding places such as Dunhuang and Jinchang, this news is well known to everyone, and many farmers are waiting for the opening day to buy a cotton gin.
There are also large families with a large population, who often buy a truckload of goods at a time.

The 10% discount promotion means that they can save a lot of money.
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 get a few extra spoons as a topping.
By the first day of the seventh lunar month, most of midsummer has passed, and when the summer heat has subsided, the North and South Grocery Store has opened as scheduled.
There were many people waiting outside the store early in the morning.
When the store door opened, they flocked in.
As for the lively opening activities outside the store entrance, they had no time to watch and just rushed to buy the things they wanted to buy. .
Although the new store's opening promotions will last for ten days, everyone is also afraid that some in-demand products will be out of stock early, like the cotton gin, which was often out of stock in the past.
As soon as I entered the shop, I saw rows of shelves as tall as a person, row after row, as if there was no end in sight, and each shelf was filled with goods.
Every commodity has a price tag, and the label has the product name and price.
The most conspicuous one is the number that was circulated from Xipo Village back then.
There are also Chinese characters, Turkic characters, and Sogdian characters.
This North and South Grocery Store was opened in Longxi.
In addition to taking care of the local market, it also mainly dealt with business with merchants from various countries in the Western Regions.
Among the countries in the Western Region, the most common languages are Chinese and Turkic.
The reason why Sogdian characters are marked is because this group is extremely active in business and is a very important customer group.
While some people are still dazzled by the large shelves and countless goods, others have already pushed their shopping carts and are looking for the products they want to buy.
A warehouse-style shopping mall like this cannot be without the help of a shopping cart.
There are two types of shopping carts here.
One is a lightweight cart made of red wicker as the main body, and there is also a larger trailer for transportation. heavy objects.
Pushing the shopping cart and continuing to walk in, there is a long row of shelves against the wall in front, all of which are cashmere products for sale.
Although everyone knows that Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop is very large, few people can tell how many patterns and styles their workshop can make.
At this time, seeing so many styles placed on the shelves so intuitively, it's amazing to see It was dazzling and shocking.
Adjacent to the cashmere products is a row of shelves selling face towels, and not far away is a shelf selling cakes.
Most of the cakes in this shop are packaged in oil paper, and I heard they can withstand storage.
The salesperson in charge of this shelf held a food box in his hand, took out various cakes from it, and asked passing customers to taste them.
There was a customer in front who tasted a few pieces.
After asking about the shelf life of these cakes, he put them in his shopping cart.
It was filled with a cart full of cakes of various flavors, and he ordered his servants to push them ahead to pay the bills.
He also had to look at other items.
The hottest business is in the area selling cotton gins, where cotton gins of various sizes are displayed.
The smallest one is like a small wooden box.
You can put the lid on it and hang it on your shoulder and take it away.
The largest one is a little bigger than a threshing machine.
It takes several people to lift it.
Such a big cotton gin.
Machine, it must be very fast to roll out white flowers.
Many people are tempted, but the price is too high and they cannot afford it.
In addition to cotton gins, there are also threshing machines, swallows flying, wooden rail carriages, etc., and even boilers for sale.
The large boiler is placed in an open space with a fence around it.
People can only watch from outside the fence. .
I heard that Changle County almost stopped using biogas last winter, but it was because of the construction of this kind of boiler that it was able to survive.
The price of this boiler is also very expensive.
Ordinary people just look at the excitement and cannot afford to buy it.

In other words, some wealthy businessmen are wondering whether to take advantage of the current discount and buy one first and put it away.
Some people just looked at it and left, while others made calculations there.
There was also a dedicated salesperson who explained the usage and uses of the boiler.
"This boiler is made of charcoal," someone asked.
"Exactly, charcoal will do."
“Can’t burn firewood” "Firewood is not good for burning boilers.
The heat cannot be reached and the people burning it are too tired.
Look at this boiler."
"I have to buy coal again."
"I heard that the price of coal in Nayiwu has increased a lot in the past two years."
"I don't know the charcoal seller.
I don't know who to look for.
I'm also afraid of being deceived by the evil seller."
"There are charcoal sellers in Jinchang and Dunhuang.
Why don't we go and have a look some other time?"
"If you want to buy coal, there is a batch in Changle County.
The county magistrate is raising money to build canals.
The coal bought earlier will be sold at a low price."
"Sure enough, why haven't we heard about it?"
"You can go to the county government office and ask and you will know.
This is the news that was just released in the past two days."
"Thank you very much" "Hi, you're very welcome.
Gentlemen, please consider this boiler again.
The 10% discount sales opportunity is rare.
When the biogas digester technology becomes popular, you will have to buy this boiler sooner or later."
"Since you have to buy sooner or later, why are you so anxious to sell now?"
"Hahaha, the shop owner borrowed a lot of money from my sister's restaurant to build this shop earlier, and now I'm in a hurry to raise money to pay off the debt."
"I heard that a lot of fine iron was used for the floor above."
"No, during the construction period, many locals came to see the excitement."
"That Luo Erniang is really rich."
"This is nothing.
I heard that she bought a lot of real estate and land in Liangzhou City in the early years.
In the past two years, due to the abundance of white flowers in Hexi, the land price in Liangzhou City has risen sharply.
Now it has doubled several times."
"Tsk, with such a sister, the magistrate of Luo County still said that he had no money and still wanted to sell coal."
"You think he doesn't make any money selling coal?"
"How much did the coal cost when he bought it?
What is the price of the coal now?"
"Don't be jealous.
If he wasn't a money-maker, he could still afford to build that canal."
"I heard that I have been saving money for many years." "" After all, the price of this boiler is too expensive, and many people are reluctant to buy it.
There are so many people looking at it, but only a few bucks are actually spent on it.
A few days later, a group of Sogdians came to Changle County and rushed to sweep up the groceries in the north and south.
They ordered ten boilers in one go.
Later, other caravans arrived, and even Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Anxi, led A group of soldiers came to buy goods.

After these people passed away, some large-scale cotton gins, threshing machines, boilers and other products in the shop began to be out of stock.
Some people were reluctant to part with it before, but now they want to buy it, but it is too late.
Some caravans order thorium mesh from Changle County.
They don’t want the finished biogas lamps, but just the mesh alone.
The lampshade workshop rolls up the processed mesh like cloth and sells the whole roll before shipping it to Chang’an.
The batch of goods from Chengdu was also made in this way.
Nowadays, there are some such goods for sale on the shelves of groceries in the north and south.
You can buy them in whole rolls, or you can negotiate with the salesperson in the shop to cut them according to the quantity you want.
Some familiar Hu businessmen asked Luo Yong how to build a biogas digester, and Luo Yong asked them to come back in a year or two.
He said that although the methane digester method is relatively mature now, it has not been popularized.
The Han people have not yet commonly used this method, and there is no way to teach it to foreigners first, so that they can come back next year.
By then, this methane digester method will be It has been popularized among the people, and when businessmen like them want to learn it, no one can stop them.
When Guo Xiaoke came to Changle County this time, he also talked to Luo Yong about building a biogas tank.
Luo Yong did not refuse this time and directly arranged for a few people to follow him to Gaochang to build a biogas tank.
In addition, Guo Xiaoke also bought several boilers from Luo Yong and others, some of which were shipped back to Gaochang, and the remaining ones were shipped to Jiuquan.
Luo Yong guessed that the boilers shipped to Jiuquan were not necessarily used to heat the biogas pools, but were probably shipped to the mining area for heating.
The weather in the Jingtieshan mining area is very cold and the vegetation is sparse.
There is not much firewood for fire in that place.
However, after the wooden track was opened, it not only facilitated the transportation of iron ore from the mountain, but also facilitated the transportation of coal outside.
Go in.
Guo Xiaoke has also been very busy recently.
He has to strengthen border defense to guard against Turkic invasions, and he also has to get money from everywhere to provide financial support for his eldest son's ore prospecting team.
Hearing that several groups of people were heading towards Jiuquan from Gaochang recently, Luo Yong and Tang Jian both guessed that they were going to mine.
Ordinary people don't know these many inside stories, nor do they care about them.
Recently, many local people in Changle County have been fascinated by the various snacks on the second floor of the North and South Grocery Store.
Most of the various snacks at Sister's Food Shop are adapted to local conditions, are of high quality and low price, and many people can afford them.
The shop selling cream cakes next to it, many people can only covet.
There were also ladies from good families who came in groups on wooden carriages just to eat a piece of cream cake from the North and South Grocery Store.
One of the most popular ones is the orange-flavored cake, which contains orange juice produced in Huainan.
Huainan is the place where oranges are produced.
The locals squeeze the juice from the oranges and then simmer them over slow fire to make a thick consistency.
Orange syrup, this kind of orange juice is also used to make cakes in Chang'an.
They have been doing it for two or three years, and the ladies in Chang'an City also like it very much.
Longxi is not as good as Chang'an.
It is too far away from Huainan where oranges are produced.
Many locals will never know the taste of oranges in their entire lives.
These food shops on the second floor of the North and South Grocery Store not only brought them the taste of oranges, but also brought many kinds of food that they had never had access to before.
Two places like Jinchang and Dunhuang are close to each other after all.
Whenever the locals want to eat, they can take a wooden carriage to come there, or send their family and servants to buy it.
Generally speaking, it is relatively convenient.
But places like Gaochang Yiwu are far away and it is not easy to travel there.
The wealthy people in these two places are either attracted by the delicious food or value the development prospects of Changle County.
Recently, many people They all plan to buy property in Changle County.
Changle County Government has a lot of real estate.
Luo Yong asked people to take advantage of the good market and sell some according to the situation.

Some people thought that the price was too high and questioned whether Luo Yong planned to make a fortune before leaving office.
Luo Yong said that the reason why this north-south grocery store in Changle County can be opened is precisely because of the accessible roads and transportation.
Conveniently, all the money from the sale of houses in Changle County this time will be donated to Guo Duhu to build roads.
When Guo Duhu heard about this, he was very moved.
Although it was said that his old Guo family would soon have a mine, it didn't happen yet.
This is to develop a mining area and pay for road construction.
Even as the governor of Anxi and the boss of the entire Longyou Road, there are still a lot of money coming from, but the money is spent too fast and it is difficult to make ends meet.
In order to express his gratitude, Guo Xiaoke asked people around him to give Luo Yong a golden horse, saying that he wished him a prosperous future when he returned to Chang'an City for development.
Luo Yong saw the golden horse, which was too small.
He recalled that Guo Xiaoke came here to take up his post in the past and passed through Changle County.
At that time, Luo Yong could only give him some liquor and food, so he generously gave Luo Yong several gold ornaments.
Hui Luo spent a lot of money to donate money to him to build roads, so he took out such a small golden horse, and it was not too dazzling to tie a thin rope around his neck as a pendant.
"Tsk, it seems we are really out of money." gd1806102:
