Chapter 144: Not Appropriate
In Li Anran's eyes, the scale of commercial streets on both sides of the official road is actually not very large. However, in this era, it is rare to have such a scale out of nothing in such a short time.
Compared with the commercial street, an area far from the west gate of the county town was built into a farmers' market similar to that of later generations. In the tall and spacious market, some are built with stone platforms about one meter high, while the other is divided into storefronts, which are divided into several areas according to different categories such as fruits, vegetables, aquatic products, poultry and eggs, and meat.
"Well, the things here are done very well, thank you for your hard work." After coming out of the commercial street, Li Anran, who rushed to the farmers' market non-stop, praised with satisfaction after walking around the market that still smelled of cement and lime.
"As long as the young master's instructions, you must not work hard." The foreman in charge of the construction work here hurriedly said.
"It must be your credit, and I will naturally see it. Even if you do things according to my instructions, you must do it well." Speaking of this, Li Anran turned his head and ordered: "Yun'er, write down the reward first and send it back together."
"Yes, young master, I have already recorded it." Xiangyun, who knew that he had another responsibility, quickly saluted.
I knew that my master was a generous foreman, and seeing that my work had finally been rewarded, I felt very happy. However, I still kept saying a few humility on the surface.
"Yun'er, you can put the academy affairs first. The most important thing in the past few days is to rent out the shops and stalls in the commercial street and farmers' market. I have already written the specific method. If you don't know anything, come and ask me if you don't know." After sending all the craftsmen back to continue working, Li Anran said again.
"Young Master, shouldn't the academy be more important?" Xiangyun, who was a little surprised at such an order, couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Haha... the academy is very important, but it is precisely because it is important that we cannot hurry." Considering that the first phase of the development of Yingzhou Island in modern time has begun, Li Anran, who did not have to hurry for a while, would naturally not reveal his true thoughts. Instead, he smiled and said, "After all, food is the most important thing for the people. Don't look at the inconspicuous place. In terms of importance alone, it is actually not much worse than the academy."
"Ah?" Xiangyun, who became more confused the more he heard, flashed with his big confused eyes, and didn't know how to take on this topic.
"What a silly girl." Li Anran, who knew these principles from later generations, could not be accepted by the ancients for a while, was too lazy to explain. She just pinched the other party's Qiong Nose. She smiled and said, "What's going on with Erlang. What's going on with your wife?"
Before leaving Xiaoyao Villa to dig Tianhuang in Shoushan, Fuzhou, Li Anran called Zhao Er and his wife to the front of him and arranged a task with his own intention.
In the past two days after I came back, I was busy making things in two time and space, and then I started a power and monitoring system. I didn’t expect this matter for a while. After visiting the commercial street and farmers’ market, I remembered it.
Facing this problem, Zhao Er did not hesitate at all and directly reported: "Young Master, please rest assured. The corresponding personnel have been trained almost. With those old people here, it will definitely not disappoint the young master."
In fact, as early as after returning home, Zhao Er's first thing was to pull his wife in front of him and ask about the relevant situation. After learning that everything was going well, he finally stuffed his heart that had been hanging around.
"Very good. As long as this matter is done properly, I will not only have a heavy reward for you, but I will definitely give you a place in this academy."
Li Anran, who knew that the couple was not a scammer when they were doing things, nodded and said. However, the last sentence was mentioned for the first time. So, not only Zhao Er was stupid, but also Xiangyun and Su Xiaomei were a little confused.
"Young Master, are you saying that my wife can also study in the academy?" Zhao Er, who felt very ecstatic, asked in disbelief.
"Go to the academy to study? No!" Li Anran, who knew that the other party had misunderstood his meaning just now, shook his head and said.
"Ah? What does the young master mean?" Zhao Er, who had never thought about it at all, asked in a daze.
It was Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun who were standing aside. After recalling the task they had given to Zhao Erma before, they thought of something. However, due to the inertial thinking of this era, they still felt incredible in their hearts.
Li Anran, who felt the strange expression in the eyes of the two women, knew that these two had probably guessed their thoughts and did not hold any more at the moment. She smiled and revealed the mystery: "I mean, if your wife is responsible for this task, then I will start a course in the academy to be a teacher, teach those students how to cook and cook good dishes!"
"Ah?! Young Master, what do you mean is to let my wife be a husband? This... how can this work? My wife hasn't even learned the skills taught by the young master well. How can she be a husband for others? No, no." Zhao Er, who finally figured out the situation, waved his hand and said.
"Why can't it be? Didn't your wife bring out a group of cooks before? These cooks can become chefs in those restaurants and inns, why can't your wife be a guru?" Li Anran, who knew that his plan was indeed difficult for the ancients of this era to accept, asked with a smile.
"Yes...but these are two different things. If the young master also asked my wife to be the chef, it would be fine. But going to the academy to be a teacher, this... is too ridiculous." Zhao Er, who never thought that his wife could become a husband in the academy because of her good cooking skills, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Erlang, you're wrong. As the saying goes, there is no order in learning, and a master is a teacher. Since your wife has a good cooking skills that others don't have, why can't she be a teacher? Moreover, who said that opening a cooking class is a joke? Without a chef, what should those nobles eat? Could it be that they also eat steamed buns like ordinary people?"
Speaking of this, Li Anran turned around and asked, "Meier, Yun'er, you have the same idea as Erlang?"
"No, no, Mei'er thinks the young master's words make sense." Su Xiaomei, who was the first to shake her little head into a rattle, said.
"You, a little flatterer." Li Anran, who knew that even if he was outrageous, would think it made sense, gently pinched his nose and said with a smile.
"Young Master, it is really good to let Zhao Qian train more skilled cooking skills, but I think it would be a bit inappropriate if I put this in the academy." Unlike Su Xiaomei, who was responding to the vocal worm, Xiangyun, who pondered for a moment, put forward a different view in a very tactful way.
"Oh? I don't think it's not suitable, it's very inappropriate, right?" Li Anran, who knew the other party's words, smiled and continued, "Xiangyun, have you forgotten what my academy is called?"
"Name?" Xiangyun, who was stunned for a moment, subconsciously said: "Isn't it called Gewu Academy?"
There was no way to tell the other party that in later generations, some professional chef schools were not worse than those of ordinary universities, regardless of their size or employment status after graduation. They had to change the explanation:
"Yes, the old saying goes, "Studying things leads to knowledge. To put it simply, it means to investigate the principles of things and correct people's abnormal behavior. This method of investigating things includes everything, and everything has its own way. Why can't it become a science?"
"This..." Although she also felt that this was reasonable, Xiangyun always felt something was wrong. However, when she thought of her other identity as a young master, she immediately suppressed her original worries and said obediently: "I understand."
"Haha... Yun'er, you don't understand, Mei'er and Erlang don't understand, and even, there is no one in the world who can understand the truth in my words just now, but so what can it be, as long as I understand."
Li Anran, who knew that although these three people were affected by their own many ways of thinking, could not be corrected in a short time. After saying with a smile, he waved his hand and ordered:
