Wang Anshi scooped a spoonful of it and put it into his mouth, which was filled with sweetness and fragrance.
He considered himself not to be a greedy person, so he nodded and ate both bowls without any restraint.
Zhou Jianwei stood in front, with his hands behind his back, watching with a smile.
Only after everyone had tasted it and recovered did he explain to everyone with a smile what kind of fruit it was, where it grew, why it could be transported here, and why it could be stored for so long.
By the way, Prince Duan was introduced, and the benefits and significance of the Chidao were explained.
Then he said that Yan Shiyue came up with this idea because he saw that the fishermen here were living in hardship, and wanted to lead everyone to make canned seafood.
At first, everyone was immersed in the delicious food, but when it came to this, some smart people came to their senses first. Someone bravely asked: "Sir, can we ship the sea goods to far away places to sell for money? If we put them in this jar, they won't go bad?"
"Yes," Zhou Jianwei said, "The Prime Minister took us to try all the restaurants in the county a few days ago. There are quite a few that have delicious food. We can choose a few and make canned seafood. In this way, the required quantity will naturally be large. Others can also catch seafood and sell it to canning workshops to make money."
Everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder His Highness took people to eat from house to house a few days ago. It turned out that he wanted to taste the food!
...
...
Some people also became nervous. If so, which company they would work for had already been decided? Then did they still have hope?
But ordinary fishermen are the majority after all, and what they think is: Can't we sell it to restaurants nearby in the future? It saves effort and can earn more money.
At that moment, everyone's face was filled with joy.
Everyone asked questions at once, and Zhou Jianwei answered them one by one.
It is not easy for everyone to understand so much information at once, but it is enough to form a general concept.
Using canned fruit as the theme will definitely leave a deep impression on these people, and they will drool whenever they think of the taste for a long, long time.
The next day, all work officially began.
In fact, Yan Shiyue has a lot of work to do. First of all, the main road along the coastline must be paved. No matter what to do later, the road must be built.
For this job, Yan Shiyue went directly to Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi was very concerned about this matter and immediately organized people. Then Yan Shiyue transferred cement and craftsmen from the nearest Ministry of Commerce and asked them to lead the people here to build the road first.
She planned to apply to Emperor Chengsheng for a reduction in the funds for road construction.
It's not that they can't do it like Qinzhou. But this place is too poor after all, and they are new here. To do this, they need to gain everyone's trust first, which takes too long. Yan Shiyue couldn't stand this road anymore, so he just repaired it.
At the same time, Zhou Jianwei, with the people from the Ministry of Commerce and the shadow guards who helped him, began to contact the merchants selected in advance.
See if they have the intention or the ability to do so. They can help them build a workshop and provide cans. In order to dispel their doubts, they can first buy on credit and then use goods as collateral.
Yan Shiyue focuses his main energy here.
You have to know that nowadays canned food is just strong in flavor and air-tight, and doesn't contain a lot of preservatives or anything like that, so the storage time is only relatively long. And after all, it's food, and there's no 315 to complain to, so you must pay close attention to hygiene.
When Prince Duan and Wang Anshi came over, they could hear her talking from a distance.
"Word of mouth, do you understand? Whether you understand or not, you must do as we say. Don't ever think that this is how I do it at home, so it's not necessary to do that... Never have such thoughts. Whether it's necessary or not, you don't need to think about it! You just need to be obedient!
Think about it, if you eat rotten food in a restaurant, would you still go there to eat? No! Because there are many restaurants, you can go to other restaurants. It's the same with selling things. You may be lazy for a moment, and there may be only one bad canned food among thousands of cans, but this one is eaten by others. "
"You have to understand that the world is big, and there are more than one village on the coast. We can't explain why we sell canned food. So if people eat bad food, it's bad. There won't be many such cases. If there are three or two, people will have an impression that the canned food in An County is not good, and then they will choose canned food from other places. Do you understand? If this continues, our canned food will not be able to sell!
Therefore, when working in the food workshop, every action is not trivial, and every step must be done according to our instructions. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded.
Prince Duan couldn't help but smile and said, "Although Yue'er looks delicate, she is actually very serious about her work."
Wang Anshi nodded slowly, "Your Majesty is right."
When the two entered, everyone around them was startled and greeted them. Yan Shiyue turned around and said, "Fourth brother, what's the matter?"
Prince Duan said, "The craftsmen have tested repeatedly and found that the stone here is too brittle and not suitable. After all, this is the first time, so it is better to be safe. We are going to move forward a distance to Yuan County. I will leave today."
Everyone was surprised and looked at Yan Shiyue.
Although they didn't quite understand what she said, they knew it was all for their own good.
The Midas Touch and the Goddess of Fortune have now come to them... and given them hope, are they going to leave now? What should they do then?
Several people looked at her with burning eyes; even Wang Anshi noticed it and couldn't help but glance sideways.
Yan Shiyue just said: "I know, then go ahead."
Prince Duan asked, "Would you like to stay here for a few more days?"
"Yes," Yan Shiyue said, "There must be a beginning and an end."
Everyone showed joy and exchanged glances with each other.
Prince Duan nodded: "Okay."
So that day Prince Duan took his men away, while Yan Shiyue and the people from the Ministry of Commerce remained here.
Apart from anything else, the seafood in An County is really abundant and delicious. They finally selected six kinds of seafood, coordinated and built two canning factories. Of course, they also had to conduct continuous testing to determine the precise ingredients, shelf life, etc.
Then the first batch of products came online. Yan Shiyue bought a batch with his own money and sent people to transport it back to Chang'an City. In addition to the palace and the garden, he also sent a batch to his own palace, Prince Duan's palace, and Prince Xian's palace for them to try.
I also gave the kittens at home some beautiful conches, shells and other things for them to play with.
Time flies when she is busy. By the time she sent the canned food deliveryman away, she realized that it had been more than a month since she arrived in An County...
I heard that Prince Duan has already started building a highway, and the starting point is Yuan County.
On her side, the cement road has been paved, and the straw mats were removed the day before yesterday. It is now smooth and there is no longer mud everywhere you step on. She also asked people from the Ministry of Commerce to renovate the county government office as well. At first glance, it finally looks like it's in good shape.
So power is a good thing. With power in hand, you can get everyone to respond and do whatever you point your finger at. It makes things much easier.
Yan Shiyue was pacing up and down the street when suddenly a commotion came from behind him.
