Chapter 329 The Restaurant Opens and the Population Increases
Zhang Ci has a serious face: "A man is eager to make contributions, and he is no exception. Even if there is danger, he should move forward bravely."

Chen Fan looked at him steadily, as if he could see Chen Zhongyan's determination from his expression.

"But there are very few people." Chen Fan said solemnly.

"Few people can surprise you."

"Has deployment started?"

Zhang Ci nodded slightly.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Chen Zhongyan's restaurant officially opened.The first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are private rooms.All the big merchants from the surrounding counties came, and the kitchen and staff were all busy.

There are rows of menus hanging on the wall, and those who can read will read them one by one.

"There are so many ways to eat pork? Are sliced ​​meat, diced meat, and minced meat so clearly divided?"

"Ants on a tree? What is it?"

"Is there any difference between fragrant fried pork shreds and sauce fried pork shreds?"

"Fried large intestine with shallots, spicy garlic sausage, is it the large intestine of a pig? Few restaurants use pig intestines for cooking. Is this restaurant delicious?"

"Try it and you'll know. I've always heard that the food in Xiangjun's Mansion is delicious. Back then, the high officials in the capital were full of praise."

Pork is commonly eaten by the common people, and every group of guests ordered dishes with pork.

Rabbit meat and fish are the restaurant's specialties: Spicy diced rabbit, tangerine peel rabbit meat and fried shredded rabbit with silver buds are all attractive.

"I heard that this fish is from the saline-alkali land, and it's so delicious."

"The fish in the lake have been raised for two or three years, is it finally enough for a restaurant?"

There are few people fishing and raising fish here, and it is not easy for the common people to eat fish. Chen Fan sent people to look for fish fry everywhere, but they did not find many. in the pond.Some of the big fish were caught by casting nets in the river.

Changping Township encourages fish farming, but the people feel that fish are difficult to control in the water, and they are not as clear as chickens and ducks, so they are unwilling to raise them.

The vegetables and tofu in the restaurant are also delicious, some people want to ask how to do it.Shopkeeper Chai told everyone very simply: "If you pay, I can tell you the recipe."

"Tell me the recipe? Aren't you afraid of being robbed of your business?"

Shopkeeper Chai said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, everyone can do business. It's too busy at the beginning of the opening. After a while, you can come and learn. You can try a few more dishes, see See which dishes you are more interested in."

Hearing this, many people added one or two dishes.

This year's Lantern Festival in Changping Township is very lively. The Xiangjun Mansion and various businesses paid for it, and the street near the Xiangjun Mansion was hung with lanterns.Just after lunch, there were more people on the street, saying that they wanted to familiarize themselves with the situation on the street first.

As dusk fell, there were more and more people on the street, gradually filling up with people.People look at the lanterns, eat some snacks, and buy some gadgets, which is very pleasant.

Chen Zhongyan's three-story building played a huge role. Many people flocked upstairs to eat and watch the lanterns, which added a lot of joy to the newly opened restaurant.

"It feels like a county town." Chen Ya stood by the window, looking at the street scene outside the window.

"Next year will be more prosperous and lively." Chen Zhongyan said.

"It will definitely," Chen Xiu agreed. "As long as the harvest continues this year, the pockets of the common people will be more bulging. If more people come to open shops and factories, the business here will be better."

"Many people from other counties come to Changping Township to buy things. They like the roads here, which are spacious and clean, and they also like the new shops here, which are very beautiful." Chen Ying said with a smile.

Chen Fan looked at the night sky and murmured, "It would be even more beautiful if there were fireworks."

After the Lantern Festival, many people flocked to Changping Township, saying they wanted to buy a house to live in and farm.

Some people wanted to see the house first, so Er Lizheng took them to see the house.

"Are these floor tiles? People live in houses with floor tiles too?" Some people couldn't believe it.

"I've lived here for a year, how could there be a holiday? Every house has a front and back yard, floor tiles, and a hut in the house. I heard it has a new name, called the bathroom."

They all went to the bathroom, which was very strange.The toilets are next to the kitchen, so it is very convenient to get water.Some houses have bamboo pipes connected to each other, as long as water is poured into the sink, it can flow into the bathtub next door.After taking a shower, unplug the plug, and the water can be drained, instead of scooping it into a bucket and then going out to pour it out.Some old ladies clicked their tongues while watching.

"I heard that when buying a house, each person can contract five acres of land?"

"Can these lands produce food? Don't they all give us the wasteland?"

"Don't worry, the land developed in Changping Township is all good land, but don't underestimate the grass, it makes the fields more fertile. The grass can also raise livestock."

Everyone went to see the ground, pulled up a grass, squeezed and rubbed the clods of soil, and they all believed it.

The land is good, the house is good, and you can move in as long as you pay [-] yuan. If you come, you can buy it.You can start plowing in the spring after staying here.

For new home buyers, the township does not allow them to be too scattered. They will be arranged in one village first, and then another village will be arranged when the village is full.The Lizhengs are very efficient in handling affairs, and the receipt of money, the accounting office, the vouchers and the fields are properly handled.

Chen Fan took his younger siblings on a tour of the countryside.When there are more people working in the field, the meaning of thriving and thriving will be stronger.

"People who were born before can be allocated [-] acres of land. Why do so many people come to Changping Township to farm?" Chen Fan asked them.

"Some people's land has been taken." They all know it.

"Some people didn't get [-] mu when they distributed it, but they have to pay [-] mu to pay taxes." They also know.

"So the officials and gentry are getting richer and richer, and the common people are getting more and more miserable."

Chen Fan didn't tell them the truth of benefiting the people and harming the people. They can feel the impact of these practices, so they can understand them naturally.

Liu Dingkang, Liu Chenfeng and Yang Hong all came this year, and the children started their busy life of reading and teaching for half a day.

"Those girls have talked about it, and when the Spring Festival is over, the academy will formally recruit teachers." Chen Yue said.

Chen Fan nodded: "Will they be willing to come?"

"They didn't say it directly. After all, it hasn't officially started yet. They can reserve their opinions and prepare to train some apprentices."

The business of the restaurant is booming, and some people still come here from a long way.The restaurant also officially started the activity of teaching vegetables and selling recipes.

A schedule was posted at the entrance of the store: "Teach three dishes every day, one meat, one vegetable and one soup." There are three long rows of dishes with prices ranging from [-] yuan to [-] yuan.

"It's really strange. It's the first time I've seen a restaurant teach people how to cook."

Some people went in to learn, and the spectators were eating and waiting in the store, wanting to see what their expressions were when they came out.

"If there are spicy rabbit diced in a restaurant on the same street, which restaurant should I go to?"

"Go to whoever's house you want, see whose store is cleaner, and whose shopkeepers are more enthusiastic."

Finally, the first batch of learners came out, and people turned their attention to them.

Smiling all over the face, shining eyes, so excited to learn a dish?
