Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 621 The people in Yuanjiang County are really high quality
"Come, Mr. Li and Miss Li, try this authentic snack of our Yuanjiang County, cut cake!"

"Look at the ingredients here, including raisins, walnut kernels, jujube preserves, etc. Our vendors in Yuanjiang County use the best ingredients and never add additives!"

"Additives?" Mr. Li asked with interest.

"Our master said that it is an item that is added to food to make it taste more delicious, but is harmful to the human body." Yun Dian thought for a while and responded.

Mr. Li nodded: "I have learned a lot."

The boss selling cut cakes saw that it was Yun Dian himself who was the tour guide. He immediately understood and cut into two large pieces without saying anything, without even asking for money.

Gongsun Yunxiu said quickly: "I can't eat so much."

"Hey, Miss, it's okay."

Yun Dian immediately spoke: "This cut cake is easy to preserve. Even if you can't eat it, you can wear it in a bag and store it for a long time. It's a rare visit for you two to our Yuanjiang County, so you can take it back as a souvenir."

Gongsun Yunxiu thought that this was true, so he asked the vendor to cut the cake into small portions and put them in bags.

"How much?" she asked.

Can Yun Dian let her know? If I ask the price, will the sheep run away?

He hurriedly said: "Miss, there is no need to rush to settle the bill. You are distinguished guests from afar. Our Lord Zhao said that for distinguished guests, you can consume first and then settle the bill!"

"We can just add up the bills later."

Neither Gongsun Yunxiu nor Mr. Li thought there was anything unreasonable. Both of them were scholars at Zhou Academy, and they were very famous.

Born in a clan, he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and rarely went to the streets to buy things in person.

Gongsun Yunxiu lifted up his veil and tasted a piece of cut cake. He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "It's so sweet, much sweeter than the sweets I have eaten before."

Yun Dian smiled and said: "Of course, the sugar we use in Yuanjiang County is all white sugar produced in this county."

"This sugar is sweeter than all the sugars that came before."

"White sugar." Mr. Li murmured thoughtfully.

After eating the cut cake, Yun Dian continued to take the two of them shopping, but it was obvious that neither Gongsun Yunxiu nor Mr. Zhang had a strong desire to buy.

This made Yun Dian feel a little regretful, and he rolled his eyes and stopped: "You two, why don't you go visit the industrial zone in this county?"

"What is an industrial zone?" Gongsun Yunxiu asked proactively this time.

Yun Dian smiled and said: "There are many factories in this county, which produce white sugar, sweet potato flour, spinning thread, etc. The areas where these factories are located are planned as industrial zones."

Gongsun Yunxiu suddenly became interested: "Please, Master, lead the way."

She was invited by Zhang Sheng this time to get a comprehensive understanding of Yuanjiang County, and this opportunity to visit was something she could only dream of.

As for that school, we can go to it later.

The three of them walked for most of the day and arrived at the industrial area. Nowadays, except for a few factories that cast cannons and cement, they are not allowed to visit.

Sugar factories, textile factories, etc. have all been allowed to open to outsiders.

Firstly, it can improve the credibility of foreign businessmen towards Yuanjiang County factories. Secondly, if outsiders want to learn these things, they will not be able to learn them in a short while, so there is nothing to worry about.

And now Zhao Kang no longer likes these small factories. He is planning to attract businessmen and expand the scale of the factory.The three of them entered the industrial zone. Gongsun Yunxiu and Mr. Li looked at the tickets in their hands and explained without asking Yun Dian: "This is a ticket, and this visit also requires a fee."

Neither Gongsun Yunxiu nor Gongsun Yunxiu said anything and followed Yun Dian into the factory.

Everyone came to the flour factory first.

I saw hundreds of people processing flour in a large factory shed, but no one paid any attention to their arrival.

Mr. Li saw that the workers' mouths were covered with a piece of cloth and asked, "Mr. Yun, what are they wearing on their faces?"

"That's a mask."

Yun Dian said: "Four is food after all. During the processing and production process, Mr. Zhao requires hygiene. We adults are the ones who pay the most attention to personal hygiene."

"Every two months, doctors from the county medical clinic will come to these workers for physical examination, just to be sure they have any diseases."

"It should be like this." Gongsun Yunxiu nodded.

Epidemics are extremely harmful, especially in this era of underdeveloped medicine. A single infectious disease can kill thousands of people, so carelessness is not an option.

Several people watched the workers processing and making flour. When Gongsun Yunxiu saw a group of workers making sweet potato starch, he was a little surprised: "Master Yun, what is this grain? Why have I never seen it before? This can also be used to make sweet potato starch." flour?"

"These are sweet potatoes."

Yun Dian explained: "It is a magical object discovered by our Lord Zhao. This object can be said to be full of treasures, and its yield per mu is extremely high. Now after research by the county's crop experts, it has been able to achieve a yield of more than [-] kilograms per mu!"

"This thing has solved the problem of food and clothing for 10 people in our country! I think when the sweet potatoes were harvested for the first time, Her Majesty the Empress and all the civil and military officials of the imperial capital came to visit."

When he heard that the yield per mu was one thousand catties, Mr. Li's eyes bulged: "The yield per mu is one thousand catties! Mr. Yun, you are not bragging, are you?"

"Of course not. The sweet potato planting field is just outside the city. If Mr. Li doesn't believe it, you can visit it later," Yun Dian said.

Gongsun Yunxiu looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes. Although they were scholars, they were not ignorant about crop yields.

One thousand kilograms of grain per mu has never been heard of before!
Under Yun Dian's leadership, the two of them walked throughout the entire industrial zone for three hours!

However, Gongsun Yunxiu and Mr. Li did not feel tired, but became more and more interested.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yun Dian smiled and said: "You two, why not come here first today? I have arranged the best restaurant and banquet in the county for you two to fill your stomach first?"

After such a long time, both of them were really hungry. The cake was too sweet. Although it tasted good, it was not to their liking.

Agreeing with Yun Dian's opinion, the three of them came to the center of Yuanjiang County. Yun Dian smiled and said: "This restaurant was invested and founded by our Mr. Zhao. The chefs inside will definitely satisfy you two with their excellent skills."

"Thank you, Mr. Yun."

Within half an hour, a table of delicious food was set by the restaurant waiter.

The cooks in Yuanjiang County are all heavy in oil and salt, so the taste is natural. Even Gongsun Yunxiu has his index finger moving at this moment.

"Master Yun, please sit down," she greeted.

Yun Dian shook his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but I am just a tour guide, and I dare not sit at the same table with distinguished guests. Please help yourself. I will come back later."

Gongsun Yunxiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect the people of Yuanjiang County to be of such high quality!
