Traveling through ancient times to get rid of poverty, the whole network sends me express delivery

Originally, Shen Wanning was considering making cold noodles and cold skin, and selling sour plum soup along the way. The weather was getting warmer, and if someone could enjoy a bowl of cold food in the summer, business would surely be booming.

But this business could only be done in the summer, and she would rather do something long-term. After all, she now had enough funds, and if possible, she wanted to go all out and buy a shop in the town or county.

She thought of selling milk tea, as the raw materials for this product are quite expensive. Milk, tea leaves, and sugar are all precious. So her milk tea shop will prepare milk tea for high-income people, while also selling sour plum soup and mung bean soup for the common people.

And milk tea can be sold no matter in winter or summer.

Shen Wanning: What do you think of me selling milk tea? Milk tea is easy to make and is loved by women and children.

Liuye Qingqing: This is good, but the raw materials for milk tea should be a bit expensive, right? In ancient times, sugar, milk and tea were not cheap.

Yang Liuyiyi: What the above person said makes sense. Would selling milk tea in ancient times be a loss-making business? It would be easy in the capital, where there are many wealthy people. But in this small county, I'm afraid it would be difficult to sell.

Shen Wanning: I'm not sure yet. I think we can start by making some and selling them in town. If they sell well, we can consider buying a shop. If not, we can consider selling them in the county town.

Sweetheart: Were there cows in ancient times?

Traveling the World: As far as I know, there shouldn't be any cows where the host lives. Nowadays, cows should be found along the grasslands, which, according to the host's time, would have been in Daliang.

Shen Wanning: I'm not entirely sure about the dairy cows. I'll have to ask my family about that tomorrow. As for the sugar, I'm currently thinking of buying it from you guys. What do you think? Sugar is cheap these days, so it's more cost-effective to buy it from you guys. As for the tea, I don't need very fine tea; I can just buy it directly from the tea farmers.

Of course, she had a better idea in mind. Daqing Village was next to a mountain. If the milk tea business took off, she could encourage villagers to grow tea. Picking tea leaves, making tea leaves, and selling tea leaves would all be a way to make a living.

Or she could just buy the mountain and hire villagers to grow tea for her, which would also be a good way to boost rural economic development.

Little Glutinous Rice: That's absolutely no problem. Just buy whatever you want. This sugar is really cheap. If you want more, I can just send you a few sacks. I'll give you as much as you want!

Evil Designer: Yes, yes, my hometown is in Meng Province. Not to mention milk, I can even send cows to you!

Shen Wanning: Thank you everyone. I will discuss it with my family before making a decision.

They did what they said. The next morning while eating, Shen Wanning asked, "Mom, do you know where I can buy milk?"

Aunt Zhang put down her chopsticks and looked at Shen Wanning in surprise. "What milk? I've only seen the headman's cows, but I don't think I've ever seen a cow producing milk. What's the matter, Wanning? Why are you asking about milk?"

"Mom, didn't we talk about doing business last time? I'm thinking of a business, but it requires a lot of milk. Does anyone in our village know about milk?" Shen Wanning continued to ask.

"This... why don't we ask the village head? His eldest daughter-in-law, Wei Fangfei, had no milk when she gave birth, and it seemed that she only drank cow's milk." Aunt Zhang recalled.

Shen Wanning nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the headman's house after dinner."

Mrs. Wen hesitated and said, "Why do I remember that the headman's daughter-in-law drank goat's milk when she gave birth? Fangfei was born around the same time as me. At that time, the child had no milk to drink, so we went to the hunter Chen and bought a freshly-born goat."

Aunt Zhang was puzzled. "Really? Could it be that I'm old and remembering it wrongly?"

"It's okay, mother, second sister-in-law, we're not far from the village head's house anyway, I'll go ask later. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."

"This milk must be very expensive, right? Can we make money by selling it? Besides, after we build the house, we probably won't have money to buy milk or anything like that, right?" Mrs. Xu frowned, disagreeing.

Aunt Zhang glared at her. "Since Wan Ning came to our house, when has she ever made a mistake? What have you done that hasn't made our family better and better?"

Xu nodded, "I... I'm just asking, haven't we seen milk before?"

"Sister Wan Ning must have her reasons for doing this. We don't understand anything. If Sister Wan Ning needs any help, just tell us directly. By the way, the clothes for the family members are ready. I will ask Jing Cheng to send them to you later. You can try them on to see if they fit you well." Mrs. Wen was still as gentle as usual.

It had been made earlier, but they hadn't moved yet, so Mrs. Wen thought she'd just give them to them after the move. Anyway, they wouldn't be willing to wear the new clothes for the time being.

"Okay, let Jingce stay in my room. I'll accompany Wanning to find the village chief later." After saying that, he looked at Shen Wanning again, "But Wanning, what do you want the milk for? Do you want to sell it?"

Shen Wanning smiled and shook her head. "No, I want to make milk tea, a relatively new snack. But I don't know how it will taste yet. When I make it in the future, I'll have my family try it to see if this business is feasible."

"Milk tea? I've never heard of it. Judging from the name, it also comes with tea leaves, right? Tea leaves are not cheap!"

"Don't worry, Mom. Just buy the cheapest tea. The cost won't be very high." As for sugar, Shen Wanning didn't plan to mention it now, so as not to scare them.

Aunt Zhang nodded. "Okay, since you say it's okay, then it must be okay. Leave the dishes to Xu and we'll go to the headman's house and ask."

Mrs. Wen nodded sensibly. "Then, sister-in-law, go wash the dishes, and I'll help feed the chickens. I'll go back to my room and embroider a few handkerchiefs later. Next time, mother will go to town and see if she can sell them for some money."

Aunt Zhang responded, carrying a basket of eggs, and took Shen Wanning to the village head's house. The village head now thought Shen Wanning was good in every way, so when he saw Shen Wanning coming, he thought she had something good to discuss with him.

"Mrs. Zhang, why did you bring your daughter here today? Is there something wrong?" As the headman sat down, Wei Fangfei immediately brought over a few bowls of cold water and placed them on the table.

Aunt Zhang said, "I came here to ask you, do you know anything about milk? I heard that when your Fangfei gave birth, she didn't have milk, and the child drank milk. I wonder if that's true?"

People in rural areas are used to talking about breastfeeding, so they just talk about it casually and everyone is used to it.

The village head shook his head and said, "When Fangfei gave birth, she drank goat's milk. The ewe was bought from Hunter Chen."

Shen Wanning was a little disappointed and sighed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Li Zheng continued, "But I have heard of this milk. I heard that there is a kind of cow called a dairy cow in Daliang. Those cows are black and white and can produce milk most of the year. I have only heard of it, but I have never seen it, so I don't know if it is true."
