In Li Anran's eyes, the scale of the commercial streets on both sides of the official road is actually not that big. However, in this era, it is rare to be able to create such a scale out of thin air in such a short period of time.

Compared with the commercial street, an area far away from the west gate of the county town was built as a farmer's market similar to that of later generations. In the tall and spacious market, one part of the market is lined with one-meter-high stone platforms, and the other part is separated by

It has become a facade, divided into several areas according to different categories such as fruits, vegetables, aquatic products, eggs, meat, etc.

"Well, things are done well here. Thank you for your hard work." After coming out of the commercial street, Li Anran rushed to the farmer's market without stopping. After walking around in the market that still smelled of cement and lime, he said

Praised with great satisfaction.

"It's all in accordance with the young master's instructions. No hard work is allowed." The foreman in charge of the construction work here said quickly.

"It should be your credit, and I will naturally see it. Even if you do things according to my instructions, you must do them well." At this point, Li Anran turned around and ordered: "Yun'er, first

Make a note of the reward and send it out together later."

"Yes, young master, I have already noted it down." Xiangyun, knowing that he had one more responsibility, quickly saluted.

Knowing that his master was very generous, the foreman felt happy to see his work finally being rewarded. However, he still kept a few words of humility on the surface.

"Yun'er, you can put aside the academy matters first. The most important thing these days is to rent out the shops and stalls in the commercial street and farmer's market. I have already written down the specific method. If there is anything you don't understand, come here

Just ask me." After sending all the craftsmen back to continue working, Li Anran said again.

"Master, shouldn't the academy be more important?" Xiangyun, who was a little stunned by such an order, said in shock.

"Haha... The academy is very important, but it is precisely because it is important that we cannot rush it." Considering that the first phase of the development project of Yingzhou Island in modern time and space has already begun, Datang does not need to rush to Li Anran for a while, so naturally it will not

Revealing his true thoughts, he said with a smile: "After all, food is the most important thing for people here. Even though this place is inconspicuous, in terms of importance, it is actually not much worse than the academy."

"Ah?" Xiangyun became more and more confused the more he listened. Suddenly his big eyes were blank and he didn't know how to answer this topic.

"What a silly girl." Li Anran, who knew these truths came from later generations and couldn't convince the ancients to accept them for a while, didn't bother to explain anymore. He just pinched the other person's nose and changed the topic with a smile.

He said: "Erlang, how is the matter that was left to your mother-in-law?"

Before leaving Xiaoyao Villa and heading to Fuzhou Shoushan to dig fields, Li Anran called Zhao Er and his wife to him and arranged a job.

In the past two days when I first came back, I was busy moving things around in the two time and spaces, and then I was working on the power and monitoring systems. I didn't think about it for a while. After visiting the commercial street and farmers' market, I finally thought about it.

Got up.

Faced with this problem, Zhao Er did not hesitate at all and reported directly: "Master, please rest assured that the corresponding manpower has been trained almost. With those old people here, the master will not be disappointed."

In fact, after returning home, the first thing Zhao Er did was to drag his mother-in-law to him and ask about the situation. After learning that everything went smoothly, he finally put aside his worries.

Stuffed it back.

"Very good, as long as this matter is done properly, Master, I will not only receive a heavy reward, but I will also give your mother-in-law a place in this academy."

Li Anran, who knew that this couple was not a treacherous person, nodded and said. However, the last sentence was mentioned for the first time. Therefore, not only Zhao Er was stupid, but also Xiang Yun

Both Su Xiaomei and Su Xiaomei were a little confused.

"Master, are you saying that my mother-in-law can also go to the academy to study?" Zhao Er, who felt very ecstatic, asked in disbelief.

"Go to the academy to study? No!" Li Anran, knowing that the other party had misunderstood what he just meant, shook his head and said.

"Ah? What does the young master mean?" Zhao Er, who had never thought about it at all, asked dumbly.

Su Xiaomei and Xiang Yun, who were standing aside, thought of something after recalling the tasks their men had given to Second Wife Zhao. However, due to the inertial thinking of this era, they still felt unbelievable in their hearts.

Li Anran, who felt the strange look in the eyes of the two women, knew that these two people had probably guessed what he was thinking, so he didn't make any excuses at the moment. He smiled and revealed the mystery and said: "What I mean is, if you are on this mission this time,

If your mother-in-law is doing a good job, then I will open a course in the academy later and ask your mother-in-law to be the teacher and teach the students how to cook and cook well!"

"Ah?! Young Master, you mean to ask my mother-in-law to be a teacher? This... how can this be done? My mother-in-law herself has not learned the skills taught by the young master well, how can she be a teacher for others? No, no, no." Finally.

Zhao Er, who understood the situation, quickly waved his hand and said.

"Why not? Didn't your mother-in-law bring out a group of cooks before? These cooks can later become the chefs of those restaurants and inns. Why can't your mother-in-law be the husband?" I know that my plan is indeed true.

Li Anran, who found it difficult for the ancients of this era to accept, asked with a smile.

"But...but these are two different things. If the young master also asks my mother-in-law to be a chef, then of course there will be no problem, but to go to the academy to be a teacher, this...this is too childish." I never thought of my mother-in-law.

Zhao Er, who was able to become a teacher in the academy because of his good cooking skills, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Erlang, you are wrong about this. As the saying goes, there is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. Since your mother-in-law has good cooking skills that others do not have, then why can't she be a teacher for others? Besides, who said

It’s child’s play to hold a cooking class? Without chefs, what will the dignitaries eat? Is it possible for them to eat millet buns like ordinary people?”

Having said this, Li Anran turned around and asked: "Mei'er, Yun'er, do you have the same idea as Erlang?"

"No, no, no, Mei'er thinks what the young master said makes sense." Su Xiaomei, who was the first to shake her little head into a rattle, said.

"You, little flatterer." Li Anran, who knew that no matter how outrageous he said, the other party would think it was reasonable, gently pinched his nose and said with a smile.

"Young Master, it is indeed beneficial to let Zhao Qianshi cultivate more culinary experts. However, the Nu family thinks that it would be inappropriate if this matter is left in the academy." Unlike Su Xiaomei, who was a yes-man, she pondered.

For a moment, Xiangyun put forward a different view very tactfully.

"Oh? I think it's not inappropriate, it's very inappropriate?" Li Anran, who understood the meaning of the other party's words, smiled and continued: "Xiangyun, have you forgotten the name of my academy?"

"Name?" Xiangyun, who was stunned for a moment, said subconsciously: "Isn't it called Gewu Academy?"

Li Anran, who had no way to tell the other party that some professional chef schools in later generations were no worse than ordinary universities in terms of scale or employment status after graduation, had to explain in another way:

"Yes, there is an old saying, study of things leads to knowledge. To put it simply, it means to study the principles of things and correct people's abnormal behaviors. This study of things covers everything, and everything has its own way, why can't it become a science

?”

"This..." Although he thought this was reasonable, Xiangyun always felt that something was wrong. However, when he thought of his other identity as a young master, he immediately suppressed his original worries and said obediently: "

The slave family understands."

"Haha... Yun'er, you don't understand, Mei'er and Erlang don't understand either. In fact, there is only one person in the world who can understand the truth of what I just said. But, so what, as long as I understand

That’s it.”

Li Anran, who knew that although these three people had been greatly influenced by him, their way of thinking could not be corrected in a short time, Li Anran smiled and finished speaking, then waved his hand and said:
Chapter completed!
