Chapter 552 Fame
Shen Yueyao said, "Sister Yang, you don't have to be polite to me. You are here in Hezhou, and as the host, I should naturally treat you to a meal. Please do me the honor."
"It's really embarrassing for us. It's our honor to have dinner with you, Sister Shen."
"You don't know how famous you are now. Many people think you are a fairy who has descended to earth."
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, "Is it that exaggerated?"
She felt like she didn't do anything.
He opened a workshop in Liuhe Village, built a commercial street, and bought a few farms.
Yang Yanran explained anxiously: "That's not an exaggeration, that's the truth."
"If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were a fairy from heaven when I heard those stories."
"Let's not talk about anything else, just the heated kang. You don't know that in previous years, Yunzhou was close to the northern border, which is the coldest place. It was freezing cold, and when winter came, heavy snow blocked the mountains, and many people would freeze to death."
"But with heated kangs, people are no longer afraid of winter or the cold. As long as they have a heated kang and firewood, they won't freeze."
"We have so many mountains and trees in Yunzhou, and so much firewood. As long as everyone works hard to prepare more firewood, winter won't be cold."
"Even now I like the heated kang. My son Mo Shu has a cold constitution, and sleeping on a heated kang is really good for the body."
"Many people also say that their legs hurt easily when it's cold, but after sleeping on a heated kang, the pain goes away."
"Also, salted duck eggs have become a unique delicacy in Yunzhou. Many people pickle salted duck eggs and make them into snacks. They are very popular. Even we like to eat egg yolk snacks."
"And preserved eggs, even more so. My caravan collects a lot of salted duck eggs from the locals and sells them elsewhere. Business is booming."
"We went to the village to collect salted duck eggs and preserved eggs. We could feel that many families' lives had improved thanks to this. They all said they wanted to thank Shen Yueyao. Although they had never seen you, they knew your name."
Shen Yueyao was very touched when she heard these words.
“You didn’t build a workshop to pickle salted duck eggs and preserved eggs.”
Initially, Shen Yueyao taught the method of making salted duck eggs to the people in the village so that everyone could spread the method.
Later, she came to the capital and had many workshops and farms under her control. She wrote down the secret recipe of preserved eggs in a letter and asked her subordinates to spread the method of making preserved eggs.
Therefore, as long as people in Yunzhou want to learn, they can learn how to make preserved eggs and salted duck eggs.
Moreover, as long as there is river water, ducks can be raised and ducks can lay eggs. As long as you are diligent and pickle some salted duck eggs and preserved eggs, your life will be better.
Yang Yanran said, "Our local Chamber of Commerce has said that we won't open our own workshops to make these, but will purchase them from the public. In fact, purchasing from the public is cheaper and more cost-effective, and this will also make life better for many ordinary farmers."
"They rely on these to earn some money at home, so they can have enough food to eat and buy cloth to make clothes."
Speaking of this, Yang Yanran's eyes became a little warm.
"Mo Shu and I went to collect the duck and preserved eggs ourselves. Seeing the changes in everyone, we were very happy."
"Many villagers in remote areas still can't get enough food to eat and can't afford cloth to make clothes. Their clothes are really just patches on top of patches, which is really heartbreaking to see."
"But when I went back later, I saw that people's clothes were getting less and less patched, and many families had rebuilt large houses. They said that during the busy farming season, they could farm and raise ducks without taking up any time at all. During the slack season, they could even knit sweaters. Now, more people are raising sheep in our area."
"People who are diligent can save a lot of money in a year."
"My caravan sells Yunzhou's specialties to various places, and business is booming."
"The sweaters were also delivered to Beibang Country. It's very cold there, much colder than our Yunzhou. The sweaters are very popular there, and everyone is rushing to buy them."
Speaking of this, Yang Yanran was also happy.
"You don't know that Yunzhou has also undergone great changes. Many people have come to settle in Yunzhou."
"It's not too cold in Yunzhou. There are many food stalls in Yunzhou."
"Besides, the weather is cold now. There are a lot of roadside roasted sweet potato stalls and many people are buying roasted sweet potatoes. They are really delicious."
