Chapter 702 Not That Simple

The old lady didn't know why the distinguished guest asked, but she answered truthfully.

In the old lady's eyes, the distinguished guest was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, giving her a feeling of unreality.

Moreover, since the distinguished guest's status is so noble, he naturally has to answer whatever he asks.

She had never seen such noble and beautiful women before, and she did not look down on them. She felt so friendly when talking to them.

Moreover, when the distinguished guest speaks, there is a sense of conviction.

The old lady just thought that Xiao Yueyao was curious about the thin noodles. Naturally, she didn't expect that Xiao Yueyao wanted to buy it. She also came up with a good and eye-catching name for the Western Noodles to build its reputation.

She was just talking to the distinguished guest as if she was chatting about daily life.

The old ladies always had a kind smile on their faces.

Xiao Yueyao could tell that this was a kind old man.

And from what the old lady said, her son and daughter-in-law are filial, and her two grandsons are diligent and sensible. This family is pretty good.

This time, something happened at her daughter-in-law's family's home, and the old lady asked them all to go over and help.

The main reason is that the store is not busy on weekdays, and the old lady can handle a few customers.

After Xiao Yueyao finished her noodles, she took Dabao and Erbao for a walk along the street.

Dabao said, "Mom, that noodle shop is small, but the noodles are delicious. I wonder if the wontons here are any good."

There are some small shops along the main street, selling some simple food.

Xiao Yueyao took a look and saw that there were not only noodle shops, but also wonton shops, dumpling shops, and glutinous rice balls shops, as well as steamed rice, mutton soup, and mutton offal soup.

They are all simple meals.

Before, Xiao Yueyao even thought that the food here might taste average.

I didn't expect that some foods tasted good even without much seasoning.

"Maybe it tastes better. I'll take you to try it tomorrow."

"Sometimes food doesn't necessarily taste good if it has lots of spices and seasonings. There's a saying that goes, 'High-end food often only requires simple cooking.'"

"Look at the noodles. There's no pepper or chili powder, and the soup is all clear, but the noodles are delicious. It's amazing."

If the food was any better, this place would be a hidden gem.

Suitable for development.

As long as the transportation is convenient and there are some local specialties here, merchants will come here to purchase them.

Just like Liuhe Village, which was so remote before, but now has so many merchants coming from all over the place.

There are also some foreigners who go to Liuhe Village to buy things.

Many people initially came to buy embroidery, chili meat sauce, and lipstick, and then sold the goods after purchasing them.

Later I discovered that there were a lot of things in the commercial market in Liuhe Village, and many of the foods were not available outside, so many people would eat snacks there.

Later, the place became well-known, and many merchants would bring their families there to play and taste the food.

Even the inns in the town were full.

Many people even stayed in the village.

The more people come and go, the better the economic development will be. After word of mouth spreads, more people will go to Liuhe Village to take a look, just like tourism.

So now Liuhe Village and Beiliu Town have developed very well, and there is no trace of the remote and deserted village they used to be.

Now even some people in Beijing know about Liuhe Village.

So as long as it is developed well, this place can also develop.

But right now, Xiao Yueyao was only thinking about building roads and a chocolate workshop.

After walking around for a while, it was getting dark and the road became even more deserted.

Xiao Yueyao took everyone back to the inn and went upstairs to rest.

But in the evening, the whole county became very quiet.

When it gets dark, there are almost no lights on.

Only the light was on in Xiao Yueyao's room.

For Su Ling and Su Yang, it was still early, so they were reading in Xiao Yueyao's room.

"Mom, it's so quiet here!"

It was too quiet and they were a little uncomfortable.

In Hezhou, this is the busiest time of the day, with many people coming and going on the streets.

And the pier was brightly lit.

Su Ling and Su Yang opened the window of the room and looked out. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The whole county was very quiet.

Xiao Yueyao said, "This is just the way it is here. Not every place is like Hezhou."

Maybe it’s because everyone is used to shopping, eating and going out to play at night, and used to playing before going to bed at night, so they may not be used to it here.

In fact, when Xiao Yueyao first traveled to Liuhe Village, she was not used to it at first.

Because this era is completely different from the technological age.

She was not used to not having a computer, TV or internet at night and having to go to bed early.

Later I gradually got used to it. The environment and air are very good in this era.

Then, she later discovered that she had lived here since she was very young, and she was Yueyao.

Su Yang said: "Liuhe Village was like this before, but it became lively later."

"It's going to be lively once Mom opens a chocolate workshop here."

Xiao Yueyao said with a smile: "You believe in my ability so much? I was just planning to open a chocolate workshop here."

"Besides, we don't know how many cocoa fruits there are here. If there are not many, we can only build a small workshop."

Su Ling said: "Mom, the chocolate is so delicious, it's not available anywhere else, and no one knows how to make it. I'm sure a lot of people will come to buy chocolate."

"Mom collects cocoa fruit and gives everyone money. When people know that cocoa fruit can make money, they will plant cocoa trees instead of cutting them down. In the future, there will be more and more cocoa fruit, and the workshop will become bigger."

Xiao Yueyao listened, nodded in praise, and said, "Our Dabao knows so much."

Xiao Yueyao was very pleased to hear that he understood these principles.

Dabao and Erbao are smarter than she thought.

"That's how it is in our Liuhe Village. Back then, when duck eggs were worthless, villagers didn't raise ducks very often. Later, my mother taught us how to salt duck eggs and even collect duck eggs to make preserved duck eggs. Now, many people in the village are raising ducks, and every family can get a lot of duck eggs."

This led to a large production of duck eggs throughout Yunzhou.

Merchants from other places go to the local area to buy salted duck eggs.

Many elderly people cannot work in workshops, but they can earn money to supplement their family income by raising ducks and pickling salted duck eggs.

They also know that raising ducks is much easier than raising chickens. If there is a river, they can drive the ducks and geese to the lotus pond or river in the morning. They will catch fish to eat by themselves and go back in the evening.

No need to feed anything.

But for chickens, you need to feed them chicken feed.

Xiao Yueyao listened to their words and nodded seriously, "That's exactly what happened."

It turns out that only through practice can people better understand some truths.

If you just talk to them about business and economics, they may not actually understand.

But only by observing more and seeing more can we summarize some truths.

“So when my mother heard about cocoa nut, she decided to build a cocoa nut workshop without even having to go and see it.”

“As long as everyone knows that cocoa nuts are valuable, we can receive them without doing anything.”

However, Xiao Yueyao still planned to buy land and mountains.

"Mother is going to buy Hongluo Mountain."

"So we're going to build a workshop using cocoa beans to make chocolate, but we won't tell anyone about it for now."

“If you buy a mountain like this, the price in the county will definitely be much cheaper.”

Because to the local people, cocoa fruit is just a red fruit and is of no use.

When Xiao Yueyao was doing many things, especially when she was preparing to buy land and a mountain to build a workshop, she would tell Dabao and Erbao about some of her ideas.

I will also communicate with them and stimulate their thinking.

In this way they can also learn more knowledge and principles.

There are some things you can't learn from books.

Moreover, no matter how well you master the theoretical knowledge in books, it is not as impressive as practice.

Xiao Yueyao was talking to Dabao and Erbao, but her hands were not idle either.

She is drawing a map.

In the technological age, maps of any place are extremely detailed, and you can buy a map of any city you visit.

Even if you don’t buy a map, you can still find a detailed map and exact location on your mobile phone.

But in this era, there is no such thing as a map, only atlases, and many of the maps are not clear.

The drawing methods are not as good as those in the technological age.

For example, setting the scale.

We also need to be rigorous in determining the direction and what the symbols represent.

There are also contour slopes, etc.

This looks clear at a glance.

Maps were scarce in this era, otherwise topographic maps would be so important when two countries went to war.

In the afternoon, after traveling around the entire county, Xiao Yueyao formed a topographical map in her mind. She wrote it down and just happened to draw it.

One day, the entire map of the Great Yan Dynasty will be completed.

In this era, there is no concept of geography.

Dabao and Erbao are writing travel notes.

Although the two people have the same experiences, their feelings and feelings about what they write are definitely different.

After they finished writing an article, they showed it to Xiao Yueyao.

I saw Xiao Yueyao drawing a map.

The two treasures came over to watch curiously.

Seeing that they were interested, Xiao Yueyao explained it to them.

"It's always good to have many skills. If you want to learn, I will teach you."

The two treasures nodded seriously. Of course they wanted to learn.

Xiao Yueyao first explained some basic knowledge to them, teaching them to read maps, understand what was marked, and then learn to draw.

Fortunately, the two kids are smart and they understand a lot of things once they are explained.

They were busy until midnight before they went to bed.

In the next two days, Xiao Yueyao took Dabao and Erbao out to familiarize themselves with the environment and learn about some local customs and habits.

On this day, Xiao Yueyao planned to take Dabao and Erbao to visit Hongluo Mountain.

Of course, Xiao Yueyao asked Xiao Yi to explore the terrain of the river in advance.

She didn't let Xiaoju follow.

In this way, she takes Dabao, Xiao Yi takes Erbao, and they can fly across the river by using their lightness skills.

No need to walk in the water.

But when they passed by the clinic, they heard crying at the door.

Of course, Xiao Yueyao also knew that there was only one such clinic in the entire county and nearby villages.

"Doctor, please, save my brother!"

The doctor sighed and said, "I'll do my best. Your brother's condition is quite serious. He's bleeding excessively and has been in a coma with a fever for several days. He's almost dead."

"There are still many scars on the body."

The girl, who looked about fifteen or sixteen, cried, "She was beaten by someone, the steward. The steward of the Du family accused my eldest brother of stealing and wanted to have him beaten to death. If someone hadn't sent us a message, my eldest brother might have..."

“Woo…”

The girl cried so hard that she didn't dare to continue.

A young man next to him whispered, "Don't cry yet. Let the doctor save your brother first."

When Xiao Yueyao heard the name of the Du family, her expression changed.

According to the information gathered over the past two days, the Du family is a wealthy family in the county. They live in the best house and run a timber business.

It is said that the Du family has some relationship with the local county magistrate.

It turns out that this small county town is not as simple as I thought.

Yes, generally speaking, the smaller the place, the more people care about each other.

The Du family was able to expand their business, and they certainly relied on the county magistrate.

Even if the county magistrate did nothing, he was still the official above the local people and no one dared to offend him.

Xiao Yueyao thought about it and went in to take a look.

The doctor shook his head and said, "Look, I can't even drink the medicine!"

"You better get ready!"

The doctor's words were rather subtle, but the girl understood.

The girl cried and begged the doctor.

Xiao Yueyao said: "Let me try!"

Xiao Yueyao walked over, inserted a silver needle, and then took out a pill and had the person swallow it.

Her movements were so fast that it was completely impossible to react.

While the doctor was shocked and the girl had tears on her face, she was already helping people clean the wound and apply medicine.

The bleeding has stopped where the medicine was applied.

"You, who are you, how can you give medicine to patients casually?"

The doctor said dissatisfiedly.

Xiao Yueyao said coldly: "You can't save people yourself, so why don't you allow others to save people?"

The girl next to her was shocked but didn't dare to speak.

Anyone who can save the eldest brother will be the benefactor of their family.

She looked on in shock, not daring to speak.

Moreover, when the girl looked at the woman in front of her, she felt that she was very noble and that such a person was definitely not an ordinary person.

Even if we have to try our best, there is still a glimmer of hope.

She stared at it without blinking, her heart in her throat.
