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

There are about 800 kilograms left.

There are 300 kilograms of them in the grocery store, and they are sold directly.

The price is 18 wen per pound. This seasonal fruit cannot be stored, so the price is not raised.

Ordinary small cherries are only 2 cents per pound. Zhao Yuanzhen's nearly tenfold increase is also acceptable.

Tell the shopkeeper to advertise and sell cherries as soon as possible, as they won’t last long.

The dessert shop sent 300 kilograms and specially customized an advertising board for the seasonal specials, including new cherry juice and desserts.

Several hand-cranked, wood-and-glass juicers were custom made.

In the future, when there are more fruits, juicing will be a must.

Instructed Zhang Yute to push it.

Some were also given away to billiard shops, storybook shops, bathroom shops, and beauty shops. With every purchase, a small butterfly was given away, so that everyone could try it for free, whet their appetite, and expand the consumer base.

The beauty shop gave a lot, so I sent all the rest over there. They were washed and put on plates, 100 cents a plate.

A cup of juice costs 600 wen.

Profits doubled.

Sitting in a rocking chair, happily drinking juice and eating big cherries.

I always feel like I've forgotten something.

! !

Drink shop!

She even forgot that she had a drink shop.

I am really a bad stepmother. I completely forgot about my stepson, Yinzipuzi.

Hurry and check out the drink shop.

"Hello, sir."

The shopkeeper was about to cry, the boss finally arrived.

The shop is almost unable to operate.

All the ingredients and ice are sold out. It’s the peak season now and I don’t have enough money to purchase the ingredients.

"Well, bring the account book over here so I can see it."

"Yes, boss."

Zhao Yuanzhen took a look and found that it could barely maintain operations and was not making much money.

Looking at the old doors and windows, as well as the tables and chairs, they need to be renovated and redecorated.

"Pack up your belongings. Put the things that can be kept for a long time into the warehouse. For the things that can't be kept for a long time, organize them. I'll take them away later."

"Yes, boss."

"Well, you guys clean up first, I'll find someone to renovate the store and we'll reopen it."

"Yes, boss."

The drink shop had a shopkeeper and two cooks. The shopkeeper was also a woman, 27 years old.

I went to the construction shop and asked the owner to come and do the renovation.

The doors and windows need to be replaced, the stairs need to be repaired, and the floor and walls need to be smoothed with cement.

Furniture repainted and refurbished.

The backyard was also renovated and the toilet was converted.

All in all, it will take about 4 days.

After locking the warehouse, Zhao Yuanzhen took the three people back and selected two more cooks. She planned to teach them some new products while the decoration was going on and revitalize the drink shop.

These two new cooks not only had to learn new dishes, but also had to learn the old drinks from the people in the drink shop, which they would bring back to the Yellow River ferry.

Her plan is to keep the original variety of drinks and add some new ones to better boost business.

Added fruit tea and juice series.

Lemon mint tea, kumquat lemon tea, peach spring tea, lemon black tea, rose tea, etc.

They are all fruit teas with simple ingredients and good taste.

The juice series is made from the available fruits.

Take out the materials and various demonstration teaching methods, and train and study hard in the next few days.

Tell Zhang Qingyan to design and arrange the work clothes, and prepare hats, masks and gloves for all the cooks.

The shop cook didn't prepare any before, so she prepared them all this time and distributed them.

The temperature is now above 25 degrees and is slowly getting warmer.

There was a gradual demand for ice in the shop.

The Daliang Dynasty had the technology to make ice from saltpeter, but saltpeter mines were relatively scarce and difficult to mine. Saltpeter was also a material for making gunpowder, so the court had strict control over it.

Most of the time, ice is stored in ice cellars over the winter.

The cellar in the village has not been dug yet, so it is not suitable for storing ice on a large scale.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought some at the mall first. One point could buy 5 tons of clean ice.

I didn’t take out all of it, just a small portion. It wasn’t particularly hot at the moment, so I kept some at home for cooking.

The dessert shop gave me some, which is also used to make icy desserts.

The grocery store also sent some. The grocery store has a cellar where some ice can be stored, but not for too long.

I got a big vat, put ice cubes in it, and placed it in a conspicuous place in the shop as an advertisement.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't quite understand the current price of ice, so she asked the grocery store owner.

"Boss, according to the size of this ice block, this one foot square block can be sold for about 1.5 taels of silver."

One foot is 33 centimeters, one foot square is a 33-centimeter cube, and one ton of ice is about 1.1 cubic meters.

Divided into 28 cubes, 42 taels of silver.

One point of 5 tons of ice can earn 210 taels of silver.

This deal can be done.

A huge profit.

Tangshuipuzi has launched several new products.

Milk jelly with taro balls, mung bean ball soup, cherry jelly bubbles, and osmanthus honey milk jelly.

It is very comfortable to eat some frozen food in summer. It is easy to make frozen food. Just add some ice grass powder and it will become frozen food.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought the ice grass powder directly, but there was also a lot of ice grass powder on the mountain, so Zhao Yuanzhen planned to pick it up in the village.

Both mushrooms and ice grass powder are collected.

The beauty salon also launched new products at the same time. The purchasing power of these ladies is getting stronger and stronger, so new products have to be launched from time to time.

The cherries that were sent to the grocery store had been sold out, so the shopkeeper sent a message asking if there were any more.

Zhao Yuanzhen began to order the cherries to be picked. All the ripe ones were picked, and half of them were left on the tree that were not fully ripe.

This batch of more than 3000 kilograms was divided into 1000 kilograms for the grocery store, 200 kilograms for the dessert shop, and 200 kilograms for the beauty salon.

I put the rest in my own space and will take them out when I sell them, otherwise they will go bad.

The drink shop will open tomorrow, so I cleaned it today.

【Zhang Yinzi Shop】

After the plaque was replaced, the shopkeeper also changed his name.

Zhang Puyin, because she was a female shopkeeper, Zhao Yuanzhen changed her name to a homonym, used phonetic characters, and gave her loyalty pills and strength pills.

Now there are 8 shops, and Zhao Yuanzhen is also planning to open a winery. The workshop has not started brewing wine yet, but he has already drawn up the design drawings for the previous tea shop and handed them over to the decoration team for renovation. He will open the business as soon as the wine is brewed.

All the necessary raw materials were replenished, and the drink shop had an ice cellar with several tons of ice.

She told several other shops that if they were short of ice, they could come to the dessert shop to get it, but they must keep careful records. When the drink shop was running out of ice, they should send someone to tell her to bring it over.

Each shop has large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sun shines in quite brightly in the summer.

A sunshade was built above each window and large ivy was planted.

Ivy grows fast and can climb up the rack in a few days. By then it will be lush and green, and with the extended rack to provide shade, the shop will not be afraid of the sun, and the scenery by the window will be much more beautiful.

The flowers in the garden are blooming one after another, especially the peonies.

There are many varieties of this kind, in various colors, blooming in competition with each other, and the flowers are large, which looks extremely beautiful.

I asked the gardener to cut some fresh peony branches that were about to bloom, and put some in my home.

A lot was given to each shop.

Sweet soup shops, drink shops. Beauty parlors give away the most. There are many women in this place, and they always like these.

After the peonies are drained, trim them and put them in a vase.

There is a bottle in each private room.

I think the flowers will continue to bloom before winter.

Told the gardener to collect all the flowers needed for the beauty and manicure.

From then on, I relied on these flowers to make beauty creams and nail polishes.

Fortunately, beauty creams are not sold outside, otherwise the flowers I grow myself would definitely not be enough.

All the shops in the capital have been arranged. Zhao Yuanzhen went to the farm to check on the progress. A new team was added last time, and they haven't come to check on the progress yet.

The temporary plan is to build 9 factory buildings, 3 large warehouses and 3 cellars.

The factory building had already been completed three and a half times.

More people and horses have been added. It has been more than 20 days since the last time we came here.

The factory building has been completed and a large warehouse is under construction.

Zhao Yuanzhen ordered 20 servants to make wine. The alcohol content of wine in this era was relatively low. One reason was because of the koji, and the other was because of the inadequate skills.

Zhao Yuanzhen trained winemakers and explained various knowledge, steps, problems, etc. of winemaking.

Machines were also purchased, including equipment for steaming, distilling, and fermentation.

Then we started brewing the first batch of wine, which was planned to be sorghum wine.

First pick and wash the sorghum clean.

The sorghum is then put into the machine for steaming.

Steam for 7 or 8 hours, then take out the sorghum, put it in a large winnowing basket, and let it cool. When the temperature reaches about 10 degrees, start adding the koji and stir evenly.

Find a large vat and sprinkle koji evenly in it. Then put the sorghum into the vat and sprinkle the koji on the top layer as well.

Wrap it with a quilt and tie it with a rope.

Leave to ferment for a month.

The fermented sorghum is placed in a steamer for distillation, and the distilled liquid is wine.

The making of koji requires skills and techniques, and it takes a long time, so she directly bought the koji from Maotai and will slowly make it later when she is not in a hurry.

A seal is affixed to each tank with the date written on it for easy identification.

The current task of the wine-making workshop is to steam and cook sorghum and put it into vats every day. It will take another month for distillation.

20 people were divided into two teams and a captain was selected, named Zhang Jiu.

The food department has a full set of work clothes, and the wine department has also sent some.

All must be worn.

After the workshops were opened, the servants, maids, cooks and housemaids in the house had been almost all distributed, and there were no servants left.

There were 6 maids, and Zhang Qingyan transferred 10 of them to do needlework, responsible for everyone's clothes, bedding, work clothes, instant noodle packaging bags, etc.

The 20 newly purchased rough chickens were all allocated to the breeding area, and there are no more left.

The cooks have also been assigned.

I have to buy another wave. I always feel like I don’t have enough manpower. Maybe I have too many industries under my belt.

But there is no way, the things I want to buy are too expensive, I need more silver points.

He asked Zhang Qingyan to make clothes, bedding, shoes, socks, inner and outer clothes for 300 people.

If there are not enough people, take the remaining maids away as well.

Now that there are more people doing knitting and needlework, there is no suitable room for Zhang Qingyan at home.

Zhao Yuanzhen allocated one of the factory buildings to Zhang Qingyan, and built various wooden racks, tables, embroidery frames, cloth racks, cutting tables, etc. according to the needs of making needlework.

As for accommodation, Zhang Qingyan was specially asked to choose a building with good ventilation and sunlight, and live in a single dormitory. The furniture was also rearranged.

Every workshop has a fire dragon. Summer is coming and the demand for coal is much less, but the charcoal kilns are still burning. The charcoal stored in the spring, summer and autumn is enough for the workshops, shops and homes to use in the winter.

The maids who usually have nothing to do would also go and pick up some firewood.
