Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Looking at the nearly 300 kilograms of milk, Zhao Yuanzhen was very satisfied.

I asked someone to bring the milk back to the kitchen, found a clean gauze, and filtered it through the gauze and poured it into the big pot.

It is best to boil this fresh milk before drinking it.

The cook started boiling the milk.

Since we learned how to burn charcoal at home, we use charcoal on a daily basis. It is clean, hygienic and has high calorie content.

After more than 20 minutes, the milk boiled.

The cook served them a bowl.

Zhao Yuanzhen tasted it and found that it had no strange smell and tasted like real milk.

But fresh milk cannot be stored for too long.

The shop at home is not open yet.

Need to find a sales channel.

He told the cook to bring a large bowl for each person.

The pot of milk was almost divided.

The servants were so happy that the lady actually gave them such a rare item. The lady was really kind.

Hold high the banner for my lady and devote all my life to her.

This milk is warm, full of milk aroma and smooth taste. It is worth it.

Looking at the four remaining barrels of milk.

Everyone saw her pulling the cow back. In order to further confirm the news, we will give some to everyone so that everyone can see and taste it.

Half a bucket was sent to the old house, 20 kilograms was sent to the village chief's house, and in the rest of the village, each household received about 2 kilograms.

Zhang Xinnian brought people to deliver it. Zhao Yuanzhen told him to tell everyone to boil it before drinking.

Put the rest in the warehouse and take it out for drinking tomorrow morning.

"From now on, milking will be handed over to Lanying. Lanying, you get up every morning, clean up and wash your hands, and go milk the three cows. Then ask Xiaohui to open the warehouse door and put the milk in the warehouse."

"Okay, ma'am."

"Okay, let's all go and do what we need to do. Wait for Xin Nian to come back and ask him to come over."

"Okay, got it, mother."

"Well, Lan Ying, come with me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Took Lan Ying back to the room and gave her a loyalty pill.

Lan Ying took it and ate it without hesitation.

I didn’t feel anything after eating, I just blinked and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Madam, I ate it, but I didn't feel anything."

"It's okay, I'll eat this too."

Then he handed over another powerful pill.

She put it in her mouth, and the pill melted instantly. The liquid rushed into her body and she began to feel warm.

"This is to increase your strength. Your strength will become much greater. Get used to it. When you milk the cow tomorrow, don't hurt it."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao Yuanzhen bought another 500 loyalty pills.

Take them all out at once to cross the clear road.

His heart twitched suddenly, a fishy-sweet taste came out of his mouth, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Without making a sound, he bit his lips tightly.

He found a handkerchief and covered it with his sleeve, spat out the blood, and wiped his lips.

He took out 13 loyalty pills and handed them to Lan Ying.

"Give these pills to all the maids in the house. Watch them in person and make sure they all take them."

"Yes, ma'am."

Watching Lan Ying leave, Zhao Yuanzhen sat down on the bed.

He took his own pulse with his hand.

I didn't find any big problems, but my clothes were soaked with sweat from the pain.

Wait for Lan Ying to come back and ask her to prepare water for a bath.

Zhang Qingyan is currently making clothes.

"Madam, I am back and I see they have all eaten."

"Well, go get some water. I want to take a bath."

"Okay, ma'am."

There are still 10 loyalty pills left, plus the 500 pills now, minus the 14 pills I just took, there are still 496 pills left.

These loyalty pills should be enough for you in this lifetime and for your descendants if you use them sparingly.

Xinnian came to report after returning.

"Mom, look for me."

"Well, regarding the issue of milk production, we will feed the cows three times a day. We will grind the soybeans into bean powder using a stone mill, and then mix it with some cornmeal to make bean cakes to feed the cows.

Don't be short of hay at other times. Give him water twice a day, but make sure the water is not too cold. You can take someone to feed him for a few days, and when he is proficient, choose a reliable person to hand over to him. "

"Okay, Mom, I'll take note of it. I'll find someone to make bean cakes."

"Well, let's go."

I have to find a market for the milk tomorrow, and sell some white fungus, bird's nest, etc.

After breakfast, Sun Zhang brought people over.

There are 8 waiters selected.

Everyone was in high spirits and greeted Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Hello, Aunt Qinghe."

"No, it should be called the host."

"Hello, sir."

"Hello everyone, have you all eaten?"

"I have eaten, auntie."

"Well, okay, since you are here, let me briefly explain that you are the equivalent of waiters, but you need to be smart and steady.

The shop is run by wealthy masters, ladies and young ladies, so you have to be cautious and careful. Your main job is to record what the customers have ordered, their taste requirements, etc., and then serve the food prepared in the kitchen to the customers.

But there are some etiquettes we should pay attention to, such as welcoming guests when they come in.

【Welcome】Say it this way.

When ordering, you should say "What can I do for you?"

When guests finish their meal and leave, they should say "Enjoy your meal, we look forward to seeing you again"

If someone calls you during the trip, you should go over immediately and ask, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

We will then divide the store into areas, with each person responsible for an area. If that area is too busy, others who see it will rush to help.

You need to smile, be polite, and be friendly. There are also some basic etiquette movements. I will let Lan Ying teach you later. That’s basically it. Can you do it well? "

"I can do it well, boss, don't worry."

"Well, I also believe that you are all the best. Lan Ying, call the cook and the newly bought maids over and train them together. Train them according to the general ideas I just mentioned, and then unify the etiquette issues. It should be neat and show the characteristics of our store."

"Yes, ma'am."

After a while, everyone came over.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the four new people who had not yet changed their names.

"From now on, the four of you will be called Liuhua, Yaocao, Jiamu, and Songluo from left to right. Follow Lanying and learn the rules first."

"Thank you for the name, Madam. I will remember your instructions."

"Well, Xiaohui, register everyone in the village, including their name, age, date of birth, etc.

Working in the shop pays 9 cents of silver per month, and you can have three days of rest each month. You can arrange your own time during these three days, but try not to rest at the same time. You can discuss and stagger your rest times.

Of course, you can also choose not to rest and exchange it for wages. One day of rest can be exchanged for 30 coins. You can arrange the details yourself. If you don’t want to do it, you must tell me five days in advance so that I can re-arrange the staff.

You can eat and live in the shop, which provides three meals a day. You need to bring your own bedding and other luggage, mainly because time is tight and there is no time to prepare. However, other daily necessities, such as washbasins, towels, toothbrushes, tooth powder, wooden combs, pillows, etc., will be provided by the shop.

If you understand, no problem, let's sign the contract."

"Okay, I'll listen to the boss."

Zhang Xinshu began to write the deed, in duplicate, and after signing it, he handed it to Zhao Yuanzhen.

She took a look at it, found no problem, and handed it to Qian Xiaohui.

Qian Xiaohui took it and put it away.

Let them practice etiquette.

Zhao Yuanzhen was going to sell milk, white fungus, etc. Then she looked around the shop again. Today was the third day, and the decoration should be almost done. After cleaning tomorrow, the shop would open the day after tomorrow.

Zhang Xinbai brought a servant with him and pulled six buckets of milk, as well as white fungus, bird's nest, dates, etc.

Lan Ying milked the milk this morning.

Zhao Yuanzhen followed on horseback, mainly because the car was too crowded.

We went to the largest pastry shop first.

"Good morning ma'am, what can I do for you?"

The shopkeeper was quite happy. As soon as he opened the door, a lady came in. It was a good omen today.

"Are the shopkeeper's cakes made with milk?"

"Madam, you came at an untimely time. We haven't had any milk in the past two days, and the cakes made with milk were sold out yesterday. Madam, you can take a look at the other cakes in the shop. They are all delicious."

Cakes made from cow's milk have always been in short supply, mainly because cow's milk is hard to get. The cow's lactation period is very short. In addition, there are many people in the capital who buy milk. If it weren't for the boss's connections, the milk would have been delivered to the mansions of dignitaries long ago.

"When will this milk be available?"

"Well, I'm not sure. Milk is not easy to buy. I'm afraid Madam will have to wait for a long time."

"How much is the milk you bought per pound?"

"This is 2.8 taels of silver per pound."

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed at first, but he thought it was no secret, so he went to the dairy shop to ask and found out that although the product was out of stock, the price was still reasonable.

Zhao Yuanzhen was secretly shocked. This is really expensive. It is equivalent to several thousand yuan per kilogram.

"I got a few dairy cows yesterday. They can produce milk steadily every day. I wonder if the shopkeeper has any demand for them?"

"Madam, are you serious about what you said?"

"Of course it's true, does the shopkeeper need it?"

"Of course I need it. Could you show it to me?"

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded and took him to the carriage. Xiao Si lifted the curtain and Zhao Yuanzhen removed the fine white gauze covering the bucket, and a large bucket of milky white milk appeared in front of the shopkeeper.

You don’t even need to taste it, just by smelling the rich milky aroma you’ll know it’s right.

"Madam, what are these barrels?"

"Yes. How much does the shopkeeper need?"

"I can probably take two buckets. I just wonder if Madam also delivers to other pastry shops?"

The shopkeeper calculated that milk cakes were selling well, and the cakes made from these two barrels of milk would definitely be sold out every day. Many people had come to buy milk cakes before, but there was no milk. Now that there was this source of goods, the cake sales of the shop would increase significantly.

I just don't know if this young lady will give gifts to other pastry shops. If she does, it will definitely affect the price and sales volume of the pastries, but I can't stop her.

"The quantity requested by the shopkeeper is so large, I will only supply it to your pastry shop, so don't worry."

Zhao Yuanzhen understood that as long as only this one shop had sufficient milk, the price of milk would not fall. If another shop also had sufficient milk, the two shops would compete with each other, and gradually the price of milk cakes would fall, and milk would also be out of stock.

"That's good, that's good. Then let's make the deal now?"

The shopkeeper couldn't wait to get the milk so that he could ask the kitchen to start making it.

"Ok."

Xiao Si carried two buckets of milk into the back kitchen of the store and weighed them, which weighed a total of 97 kilograms.

Then he poured the milk into the buckets from the snack shop and weighed the empty buckets. The two buckets weighed 9 kilograms.

Milk is 86 catties. Calculated according to the market price: 86X2.8=240.8

Zhao Yuanzhen took 240 taels and gave him a zero.

After some greetings, he said goodbye.

Have to go to the next one.
