After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure (3)

Chapter 428: I might as well do it

There was another group of people.

"Aiya, why is there red braised pork today? I want to eat braised chicken."

"I'm also waiting for the braised chicken. I haven't had braised chicken for days."

The people at the back heard those who were not in the top 30 shouted, "If you don't want to buy the red braised pork, then don't line up. Let us buy it."

The people in front turned their heads one after another. "We also eat braised pork."

The people behind them were speechless.

Such a scene had become a special feature of the morning in Heyang County.

Every time, it would surprise the people who had just arrived in Heyang County, or stop in their tracks to listen to them talk with great interest.

The rarer something was, the more expensive it would be.

Hunger marketing was naturally very effective.

As a result, the other canned meat became everyone's favorite.

Merchants who came to Heyang County to buy canned food or to buy things would let their manservants to queue and join them or do it themselves.

Every day, there would be people coming to Shi Qingluo to ask if she would increase the sale of canned meat of other varieties.

However, she had no choice.

She was lacking in raw materials!

Hence, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng chatted before they went to bed.

"Brother Zheng, why don't we raise pigs, chickens, ducks, and some quails? " she suggested. "We'll continue to expand our canned food variety."

Xiao Hanzheng pulled her into his arms and asked with a smile, "Sure, do you want to use the name of the county government, or do you want to do it alone?"

"If you use my name, there's an 80 – 90% chance that the people in the capital will find fault with you," Shi Qingluo replied.

"Should we adopt some cooperation between the workshops of the county government and the farmers?

"Anyway, we want to help the locals get out of poverty and let them earn more money."

"What kind of cooperation?" Xiao Hanzheng asked curiously.

Shi Qingluo replied, "The villagers are all poor now. If you want them to buy their own livestocks, I'm afraid not many can afford it.

"If we were to set up a large farm on our own, the villagers might not come to work. Many people can't leave their homes behind, and it's even more difficult for people in remote mountain areas to come out.

"That's why in the first two years, the workshop would provide pigs, chickens, and ducks, and the villagers would come to sign a contract to adopt them. It wouldn't be free, they had to return them.

"For example, a family can adopt three piglets. When they are raised and slaughtered in the future, the family also has to return one to the county government's canned food workshop.

"We can also sign a contract to buy the remaining two pigs at market price so that they would preferably sell them to our workshop.

"Of course, if someone outside offers a better price, they can also sell it to him."

This was also to prevent the other county magistrates who took over them to forcibly lower the price to exploit the commoners after they left.

"We can raise more chickens and ducks. They will also return some to the canned food workshop with a ratio of three to one.
