Chapter 144: Not Quite Appropriate
In Li Anran's eyes, the scale of the commercial streets on both sides of the official road is actually not large. However, in the current era, it is rare to be able to create such a scale out of nothing in such a short period of time.
Compared with the commercial street, an area far away from the west gate of the county seat was built into a farmer's market similar to that of later generations. In the tall and spacious market, some of them are built with stone platforms that are more than one meter high, and the other part is divided into several areas according to different categories such as fruits, vegetables, aquatic products, poultry eggs, and meat.
"Well, it's been a good job here, and it's been hard." After coming out of the commercial street, Li Anran, who rushed to the farmers' market non-stop, praised with satisfaction after taking a turn in the market that still exuded the smell of cement and lime.
"It's all according to the young master's orders, and you shouldn't work hard." The foreman in charge of the construction work here hurriedly said.
"It should be your credit, Young Master Ben will naturally see it in his eyes. Even if you do what I tell you to do, you have to 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, the slave family has written it down." Xiangyun, who knew that he had one more responsibility on his body, hurriedly saluted.
Zhilu said that he, a foreman with a very generous master, saw that his work was finally rewarded, and his heart was naturally beautiful. However, on the bright side, he still did not forget to be modest.
"Yun'er, you can put the affairs of the academy first, the most important thing in the past few days is to rent out the shops and stalls in this commercial street and the farmers' market. I've already written the specific method, and if you don't know what to ask me, it's just. After sending the craftsmen back to continue the work, Li Anran said again.
"Young Master, shouldn't the academy be more important?" Xiangyun, who was a little stunned by such an order, couldn't help but say with some astonishment.
"Huh...... The academy is very important, but it is precisely because it is important that it cannot be rushed. "Considering that the first phase of the development project of Yingzhou Island in modern time and space has begun, Li Anran, who does not need to be in a hurry on the Datang side, will naturally not reveal his true thoughts. Instead, he said with a smile: "After all, this people take food as the sky, don't look at this place as inconspicuous." In terms of importance alone, it is not much worse than that of the college. ”
"Huh?" The more I listened, the more confused Xiangyun became. Flashing his big eyes blankly, he didn't know how to pick up this topic.
"What a silly girl." Knowing these truths from later generations, Li Anran, who couldn't make the ancients accept them for a while, didn't bother to explain them. Just pinched the other party's Joan nose. Smiled and diverted the topic and said, "Erlang." How's it going to be done with your mother-in-law? ”
Before leaving Xiaoyao Villa and going to Fuzhou Shoushan to dig Tianhuang, Li Anran called Zhao Er and his wife to him. A job was arranged for the ear.
In the past two days since I came back, I was first busy pouring things in two planes, and then I started the power and monitoring system, and I didn't think about this matter for a while. It was only after visiting the high street and the farmer's market that I remembered.
Faced with this problem, Zhao Er didn't hesitate at all, and reported directly: "Young master, please rest assured, the corresponding manpower has been almost trained, and with those old people here, the young master will not be disappointed." ”
In fact, as early as 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 was going well, I finally stuffed back the heart that had been hanging.
"Very good, as long as this matter is done properly, young master, I will not only have a heavy reward, but also have to get a place for your mother-in-law in this academy."
Li Anran, who knew that the couple was not a traitor, nodded and said. However, the last sentence is mentioned for the first time. Therefore, not only Zhao Er was stupid, but even Xiangyun and Su Xiaomei were a little confused.
"Young 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.
"Going to study at the academy? No! Knowing that the other party was Li Anran, who had misunderstood what he had just meant, he shook his head and said.
"Huh? What does the young master mean? Zhao Er, who hadn't thought about it at all, asked dumbfounded.
Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, who were on the side, thought of something after recalling the task that their man had given to Zhao Er's mother-in-law before. But limited to the inertial thinking of this era, there is still a feeling of disbelief in my heart.
Feeling the strange look in the eyes of the two women, Li Anran knew that most of the two of them had guessed their thoughts, and they didn't sell anything at the moment, and smiled and uncovered the mystery: "I mean, if your mother-in-law is properly responsible for this mission, then, I will set up a course in the academy when I go back, let your mother-in-law be a gentleman, and teach those students how to cook and cook well!" ”
"Huh?! Young master, do you mean to let my mother-in-law be a gentleman? This...... How can this work, my mother-in-law herself has not been able to learn the skills taught by the young master well, how can she be a gentleman for others, no, no. Zhao Er, who finally figured out the situation, hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Why can't you? Didn't your mother-in-law bring out a group of cooks before, these cooks can become the chefs of those wine shops and inns when they turn around, why can't your mother-in-law be a gentleman? 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 mother-in-law to be the head chef, then it would be no problem, but I could go to the academy to be a gentleman, this ...... That's child's play. Zhao Er, who never thought that his mother-in-law would be able to go to the academy to be a gentleman because of her good cooking skills, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Erlang, you're wrong. As the saying goes, there is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher, since your mother-in-law has a good cooking skill that others do not have, then you can't be a gentleman for anything. And, who says a cooking class is child's play? Without a chef, what do those dignitaries eat? Is it possible to gnaw on millet buns like ordinary people? ”
Speaking of this, Li Anran turned around again and asked, "Mei'er, Yun'er, you also think the same as Erlang?" ”
"No, no, no, Mei'er thinks what the young master said is very reasonable." Su Xiaomei, who took the lead in shaking her little head into a rattle, said.
"You, little pony." Zhilu said that no matter how outrageous his words were, the other party would think that it was reasonable Li Anran, gently pinched the Qiong nose, and said with a smile.
"Young master, it is indeed beneficial to let Zhao Qian's family cultivate more good cooks, but the slave family thinks that if this matter is put in the academy, I am afraid it is not appropriate." Unlike Su Xiaomei, who was silent for a while, Xiangyun, who had been silent for a while, put forward a different opinion very tactfully.
"Oh? I don't think it's not inappropriate, it's very inappropriate, right? Li Anran, who heard 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, subconsciously said, "Isn't it called Gewu Academy?" ”
There was no way to tell the other party that Li Anran, who was no worse than ordinary universities in terms of the scale and employment of students after graduation in some professional chef schools in later generations, had to explain in a different way:
"Yes, as the old saying goes, learn from things. To put it simply, it means to deduce the principles of things and correct people's abnormal behavior. This is all-encompassing, and everything has its way, so why can't it become a science? ”
"This ......" Although he also felt that this was reasonable, Xiangyun always felt that something was wrong. It's just that when he thought of his other identity as a young master, he immediately pressed down his original worries, and said obediently: "The slave family understands." ”
"Huh...... Yun'er, you don't understand, Mei'er and Erlang don't understand either, and even, there is only one in the world who can understand the truth I just said, but so what, as long as I understand. ”
Although the three of them have been influenced by themselves, their way of thinking is not something that can be corrected in a short time, Li Anran, after saying it with a smile, he waved his hand and ordered:
"Since you have come out today, you don't have to rush back to the villa, just go to the other courtyard to rest for a day, there are just some things to be done by Ziang." (To be continued......)
