Chapter 139 Great Talent

After hearing Xiaocao'er's words, Zheng Huaming and Qi Xingyun fell into deep thought.

Xiao Cao'er didn't care about them because she heard Mr. Zheng tell Tang Yanshu to come over in the evenings to help Damao and the others review together.

Tang Yanshu: I just came here to have a free meal, why did I give myself a task? I don’t want to study, I’ve read enough before.

"Sir, can I make it? I have official business to attend to and I'm afraid I can't spare the time to come over." The more Tang Yanshu spoke, the quieter his voice became because Mr. Zheng was looking at him.

Mr. Zheng: How many cases does Pingjiang County have every month? How many county affairs does he not know?

Da Mao and Xiao Cao'er both laughed secretly.

When Tang Yanshu first arrived, he often heard Zheng Huaming make fun of him for being such a talented man, but instead of staying in the Hanlin Academy, he applied to be sent to this remote place.

Damao and his classmates often heard their classmates discussing the county magistrate in school.

He is a great talent in Kyoto. He voluntarily applied to be transferred to a small place like ours. He has done a very good job in county affairs in recent years, especially in the promotion of two new grain varieties. Everyone is saying that if it weren't for him leading the way, the new grain varieties would definitely not have been popularized in ordinary people's homes so quickly.

Tang Yanshu scratched his head awkwardly, thinking to himself: If you two keep laughing, I will give you more homework.

At this time, Zheng Huaming and Qi Xingyun had also finished their thoughts.

Zheng Huaming came over and patted Tang Yanshu on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "Tang Yanshu, you should be content, right? If it weren't for your grandfather's illness caused by excessive fatigue during this period, would he let you help him teach students?

Or maybe it's because you are considered a genius that they let you take care of them for a few days."

Qi Xingyun also came over and said: "It should be a piece of cake for you to teach these students. I believe you can do this job."

Tang Yanshu nodded helplessly, knowing that he couldn't refuse this time. However, when he saw the expectant eyes of Yang Dashan's family, he felt a sense of responsibility.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll give it a try. I hope I won't let you down." Tang Yanshu agreed.

After talking about Tang Yanshu teaching students on behalf of Mr. Zheng, Zheng Huaming asked Yang Dashan and his family to sit together to formally discuss the matter of vermicelli.

"Xiao Cao'er, the method you mentioned just now is feasible. We can open several vermicelli shops in a county. Will the supply of vermicelli be sufficient by then?" Zheng Huaming asked.

Yang Dashan: "How many vermicelli shops are there in a county?"

Li: "Opening so many stores is just competing with yourself for business, right?"

"Yes, why open so many? Just one will be enough." Old Mrs. Yang also disagreed.

Zheng Huaming looked at Xiao Cao'er: Didn’t you discuss this at home?

Da Mao: "Sister, what do you think?"

"My idea is to open a few more stores." Xiao Caoer still believes that a larger county town should open at least two vermicelli shops.

"Our Pingjiang County is so small. Do you think we can do business by opening a few vermicelli shops?" Damao stated the most basic reason for the limitation.

Xiao Caoer: Yes, Pingjiang County is too small, so one store is enough.

In the past, there was a snack bar on every street in a certain county, and there were several in a county town, and the business was very good.

Why is there only one store here in the same county?

It's because they are poor. Ordinary people have no money. There are only so many rich people. Opening two more stores would just be stealing business from themselves.

Seeing that they were discussing business again, Mr. Zheng did not go back to rest after taking his medicine. He just listened to them and expressed his opinions when appropriate.

"We'll just have to decide based on the actual situation. There's at least one Jixiang Restaurant in every county, so we can decide based on the situation of the Jixiang Restaurant, whether to open one or two, and we can adapt to local conditions."

Mr. Zheng took the first shot.

Xiao Caoer: "I hope that by then all vermicelli shops will have the same decoration style, so that everyone will know it is our shop as soon as they see the decoration style wherever they go."

"This is a good idea, this is a good idea. Some traveling merchants have a special liking for food from a certain place. If our stores have a unified decoration style, then people who like to eat our vermicelli can eat it elsewhere." Zheng Huaming also agreed with this.

Yang Dashan's family nodded to everything Xiaocaoer said, except when he just said that he wanted to open a few more hotels to compete with her for business.

Tang Yanshu looked at this situation and felt that the Yang family seemed to be in charge.

"What about vermicelli? Are they all supplied from Pingjiang County?" Damao asked.

"What's wrong with that? We have our own caravan. We just need to arrange the delivery, just like furniture and dolls." Zheng Huaming said nonchalantly.

In the past two years, the furniture workshops and doll workshops have been booming.

Even if there are imitations, it won’t have much impact because they have many styles and patterns.

Both furniture and dolls can withstand long-distance transportation, but vermicelli cannot. Dried vermicelli will break if force is applied. If it is transported over long distances, the loss will be very large, which is not cost-effective.

"Vermicelli is made from sweet potatoes. The transportation cost of supplying them all from Pingjiang County is too high, so it's not cost-effective."

Zheng Huaming

Qi Xingyun

Mr. Zheng

Made of sweet potatoes? That's not cost-effective to transport over long distances.

"Now that sweet potatoes are basically popular throughout the Great Xia Kingdom, we don't need to build a workshop in every county. We only need to build a few workshops and then supply them to the surrounding areas. This will also reduce losses during transportation." Xiao Caoer suggested.

When Old Lady Yang heard her granddaughter say that she wanted to open a workshop somewhere else, she pulled her sleeve and whispered, "If we build a workshop somewhere else, then don't we have to teach the method to others?"

"Yes, we need to teach them." Xiao Caoer said.

"Oh, girl, that's our recipe. If we teach it to others, we'll just be teaching it to others. How can we do that?" Li disagreed.

Xiao Cao looked at the two of them and said, "Aren't we teaching others how to make a living by doing that? Apart from making sausages, our family doesn't have any unique business."

Old Lady Yang

Lee

Yes, that seems to be the case.

All the family businesses are in cooperation with others, except for sausages. That's because the wine needed is only available at Xiaocao'er, so we make sausages at the end of every year. For other businesses, we just sit at home and wait for money.
