It is half price again now, so many people followed suit and bought some.
However, the most popular items to buy are soap and soap. In less than half an hour, all the stock produced in the past half month was sold out.
Of course, the cheapest soaps and perfumed soaps were cleared out. Except for a few wealthy families in the county who bought carved ones, everyone else went for the cheapest ones.
Almost everyone got one, and most of the people in the front of the line bought four each.
When they thought about getting half price today and the original price would be restored starting tomorrow, everyone had a smile on their face. They really made a profit today.
When I get it back, I will show this wonderful thing to my family and neighbors.
"I heard that the county magistrate's wife has an old immortal master. I thought it was a rumor before, but now it seems to be true."
"I think it's true, too. Otherwise, canned meat and fruit can be stored for more than half a year. Such good soaps and perfumes are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"It's a pity that the old immortal's Taoist temple is in the south, otherwise I would like to go there to pay my respects and burn some incense."
"Me too, I heard that if you make a wish in front of the old immortal, it will come true."
"The county magistrate's wife is not only good at this, she has recently visited many villages and helped the villagers plant rubber flowers, wolfberries, beets, etc."
"After signing the contract, if the villagers can't sell the crops after they are grown, the county government's workshop and her friends can buy them at the normal market price."
"As expected of the old immortal's disciple, he has a kind heart and is very powerful."
"It was sent by the old immortal to bless us."
"I heard that the county magistrate's wife is a golden doll. I didn't feel that way before, but now I feel it's so true."
"That's right. Ever since Lord Xiao came to our county as the county magistrate, the whole county feels less dead."
"Yes, not only is Madam powerful, but Lord Xiao is also kind to the people."
"A lot of taxes have been exempted, and the taxes collected previously have been returned recently. This is something that the previous county magistrates could not do."
"Yes, now everyone praises Lord Xiao as a good official who works hard for the people."
"I opened a workshop and hired many people to work there. Not only were they provided with food and accommodation, but they also received wages. I heard that there were also some benefits every month, so my husband went to work there. He was told that not only could he have enough to eat every day, but he could also have meat every two or three days."
"That's great, but it's not so easy to get into the workshop now."
"Yes, it's temporarily full now. Fortunately, when the county magistrate opened the workshop to recruit people, my wife went there."
The two large workshops employed both male and female workers, but they ate, lived and worked separately, so it would not cause any controversy.
"There is also a woolen workshop run by a friend of the county magistrate's wife. The women and girls who work there have a very comfortable time."
"Not only do I not have to do hard labor every day, I only need to sit and fiddle with the wool, and I can earn 500 to 800 coins a month, and I also learn a craft."
"There's an ice basin where we work, it feels like we're just enjoying ourselves."
"Not only can I have a full meal every day, but I will also be given a piece of fruit at noon."
“People who worked in the woolen workshop before are now the envy of the people.”
"Yes, I went there too, but my hands were too rough so I didn't get selected."
"So in the future, don't let the young ladies at home do rough labor. If they are hired to work in a wool or soap workshop, they won't have to worry about their future lives."
"That's right. Ever since the unmarried ladies started working in the workshop, there have been more people proposing marriages. My daughter has several marriage proposals coming her way right now."
Everyone gathered together and chatted. They all recognized and were grateful to Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, and hoped that they could maintain it and get better and better.
After the publicity and half-price promotion, the warehouses of the two workshops were basically cleared out, and Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng left.
What happened today quickly spread throughout Heyang County and then continued to spread outside.
As a result, many people who love food and have spare money brought their servants to Heyang County to taste the canned food.
Merchants who heard the news rushed to Heyang County in batches, as if they were afraid that they would miss the business opportunity if they were a step late.
When he returned that day, Liang Youxiao pestered Shi Qingluo to ask the people in the workshop to work overtime and make a hundred cans of food for him, so that he could take them with him on the road.
Shi Qingluo was annoyed by his pestering and had no choice but to agree.
So the next day Liang Youxiao took a cart full of canned food and his personal guards and headed south.
There are a lot of seasonal fruits in the south now. If the workshop is run quickly, we can also receive lychees, yellow peaches, longans and other fruits for canning.
So he was eager to show his skills.
What's more, he rushed to send the letter he had written to the capital.
Shi Qingluo continued to develop new canned foods with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, such as braised pork, Dongpo pork, braised chicken, pig blood and pork intestines, pork with preserved vegetables, etc., all of which were canned.
I opened it and tasted it after a few days and found that it didn't go bad or change its taste. Instead, it was more flavorful because it was marinated with juice or seasonings.
However, the main meat here is mutton, and other canned meats have high costs and low yields, so Shi Qingluo did not take them all out for delivery.
Instead, they prepare to store the meat after it is cooked, and then sell it in large quantities when the weather gets colder and the meat becomes less available and more expensive.
We only take out one or two other types of canned meat every day, and limit the sales to thirty pieces.
After eating, Xi Rui and his friends praised the food highly and ordered more canned food of various varieties.
Shortly after Liang Youxiao left for the south, more than a dozen trucks of various canned foods were also transported to the capital.
In addition to the canned food that Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao, Fei Yuzhe, Qi Yiyang and Xi Rong bought as gifts, there were also several carts of canned food that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife gave to the emperor, teachers and friends.
The workshop also starts selling limited quantities at a reduced price every day. There are no cans left at the reduced price every day. Even after the limited quantities are sold out and the price has increased, some people can't help but buy them.
Moreover, every morning, there would be a queue in front of a large canning shop specially built in front of the workshop.
They were either servants from wealthy families or food lovers, and they all came to queue up for the other canned meats that were sold in limited quantities that day.
And every day when I see the varieties of canned meat listed, I feel happy or regretful.
On this day, the people at the front of the line were a father and his son.
After seeing the canned food shop display today’s varieties.
The older man smiled and said, "Great, today we have canned braised pork, your grandfather loves it the most."
The young man behind him was speechless, "But I see you eat a lot too!"
Otherwise, why would his father, who is buried in books all day, come here to queue up so early?
The older man laughed and tapped the boy, "Did you eat less again?"
The boy chuckled and said, "Dad, this canned meat is so delicious. I can never get enough of it. I wish we could eat it every day."
The older man patted him on the shoulder again. "What are you thinking? How can our family eat such expensive canned food every day? It's good enough to buy it a few times a month."
"When I make money, I will come here every day to buy it."
"Then I will wait for your filial respect."
