Chang Yuanliang took the villagers to do the farm work, and Ran Fang felt that there would be no problem.
Especially with Xin Yushu's help, there shouldn't be any problems.
Sure enough, three days later, Chang Yuanliang came to the door again with the list. With a proud look on his face, he placed the list on Ran Fang's table.
"Sir, here are the rosters of the two nearby villages. Please take a look."
He stood there, looking at Ran Fang expectantly, waiting for the praise that would satisfy him.
Ran Fang picked up the list and glanced at it casually. His brows furrowed more and more as he looked at it, making Chang Yuan's conscience tremble with fear.
At the end, Ran Fang put the list on the table, looked at Chang Yuanliang with some confusion, and asked, "Why are there no pig farmers?"
"There are many people raising sheep and geese, but not a single household raising pigs. Why is that?"
Hearing this question, Chang Yuanliang immediately understood. He glanced at Ran Fang with some embarrassment.
Then, he cautiously said, "My lord, you don't know. This pork is unpalatable and has a slightly fishy smell. No one among the common people likes to eat it."
"If we sell them, the price won't be very high, so not many people are willing to breed them."
"And the people also know about making cotton-padded clothes. Even if they raise sheep and geese and the meat cannot be sold, the wool can still be sold at a high price, so naturally more people are willing to raise them."
"There's nothing we can do about it, and I can't force them to raise pigs."
As he said that, he lowered his head, feeling that he had been despised by Ran Fang.
I'm afraid I can't do those things I thought about before.
Ran Fang ignored his little thoughts, thought for a while and said: "The pigs raised by Xin Yushu have been improved and no longer smell fishy, and they taste quite good."
“Especially the roasted suckling pig made from piglets, which is the most delicious. How could anyone not like it?”
"Since they can't accept it, let the people know the deliciousness of pork, and they should be able to accept it slowly."
This is a way, Chang Yuanliang also nodded.
He couldn't help but ask: "What can I do?"
"The people are so against pork and run away when they hear the word pork. How can we make them accept it?"
Ran Fang was a little disappointed when he heard this. If it were Zhang Liang and Liu Bang who had been with him for a long time, they would definitely be able to get along and find some solutions.
Helpless, he said directly: "Before they accept pork, we must first let them know the value of pork."
"There are no places selling pork now. How can the people accept this?"
"So, we must first add pork vendors in places where meat is sold, and the price cannot be too low. People must know the value of pork."
"In order to let people know how to eat pork, a recipe can be included with the sale of pork to tell them how to make delicious pork."
"At the same time, we should build more pork stalls in densely populated areas, follow the pig head recipe I wrote, stew the pork to make it more fragrant, and give it to the people to taste for free."
"They know that pork is delicious, so they will naturally be willing to buy it, and the sellers can do more business."
"In this way, a virtuous cycle will be formed, and the number of people raising pigs will increase, and people's income will naturally increase accordingly."
Chang Yuanliang had a look of surprise on his face. This method was really good.
He nodded slightly, looked at Ran Fang with a hint of admiration, and became more determined to work with Ran Fang.
"Here!"
"I'll go and get it done right away. I'll find someone to start cooking the dishes and deliver them to the people."
"But, how many servings are we going to make?"
"As for the recipes, I still need to find someone to do it for a while, so it may take a few days."
Ran Fang paused. It wasn't that he didn't know how to solve the problem, but he didn't expect Chang Yuanliang to think of such a stupid solution.
He couldn't accept it in his heart, but he also knew that this was because Chang Yuanliang had never done these things before, and his vision and ability were limited.
But if he continues to be like this, then he is not the person he needs.
Therefore, he wanted to test Chang Yuanliang again to see if he was really up to the task.
"As for the recipe, you go ask Xiang Jin. She will have some ideas about cooking pork."
"As for printing recipes, you go directly to the printing factory and negotiate with them for cooperation at a certain price."
"When cooking in the city, you ask Liu Bang to do it, and he will cooperate with you."
"We need to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Don't delay it for too long. Winter will begin in a few months. Naturally, the more meat, the better."
“Not only pork, but also the recipes for other meats need to be printed.”
Listening to his words, the joy in Chang Yuan's conscience became stronger and stronger. He felt that Ran Fan was accepting him.
After all, Ran Fang had arranged everything just now, and there were so many people cooperating with him to do it, which made it clear that he regarded him as one of his own.
He was overjoyed and said: "Here!"
"Subordinate, do it now!"
"Printing also requires money. How about making these recipes into books and selling them to the people?"
"If you buy food from a vegetable stall, you can get simple recipes for free, but if you want to get all the recipes, you can just buy the book."
"This can also increase income and make up for the shortfall in printing and cooking."
These words made Ran Fang couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he knew how to think.
He nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"If this matter is settled, I can give you a chance."
"If you fail, then don't step into my place again."
He has found solutions to everything. If Chang Yuanliang can't do it, there is really no need for him to use this person.
But Chang Yuanliang didn't feel that he would fail at all. He immediately stood up straight and replied confidently: "Here!"
When he was going out, he happened to meet Xin Yushu who came in from outside. He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"snort!"
"My lord asked me to do something, but what you said that day, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!"
Xin Yushu came to Ran Fang to talk about something, and she was in a very good mood.
But when he saw Chang Yuanliang, the expression on his face suddenly dropped. When he heard him speak, his expression became even worse.
"you……"
"I?"
"snort!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left directly, hoping in his heart that he had never met Chang Yuanliang.
He even wished that he could turn back time and go back to the day when he brought Chang Yuanliang to meet Ran Fang. He would have dug a hole and buried this person in advance!
Looking at his back, Chang Yuanliang laughed heartily. He had never been happier than at this moment.
"Hahaha!"
"Brother Xin, please take good care of me in the future!"
