The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

In fact, after getting involved with the underworld, Jia Daoshi discovered this business opportunity.

This is a completely new blue ocean market with no competitors!

Traditional Chinese medicine drinks target lower-tier markets, much like health supplements.

Pills are targeting the high-end market.

A two-pronged approach will surely lead to huge profits!

I was just too busy before, and I also had a mistress to rely on, so I never got around to doing it.

With increased household expenses and more free time, it's time to start this plan.

Anyway, once you build a reputation for something like this, you don't have to worry about sales; that's for sure.

At that time, there will definitely be long queues in front of the store, just like the numbering system used in milk tea shops and coffee shops in my previous life.

There are always hundreds or even more cups being made ahead of them!

As for pills, they're easy to store, so they'll sell even better!

Hong Shan was very efficient and quickly brought over three pharmacists.

These three pharmacists looked very experienced, because their hair was already white, and one of them was even bald on top.

Just as Jia Daoshi was making preparations, several women learned of the news and immediately came to help.

Originally, Jia Daoshi planned to open a shop inside Guanglong Sword Shop to sell these Chinese herbal drinks.

After all, he's a martial arts practitioner, so when buying weapons, it's perfectly appropriate to also buy a cup of Chinese herbal medicine to enhance his skills.

However, after listening to Jia Daoshi's words, Yi Qianxiao rejected his idea.

“My lord, I don’t think it’s necessary to tie this herbal drink to Guanglong Sword Shop. It should be our own business and should be independent,” Yi Qianxiao said earnestly. “Moreover, I’ve actually thought about this business you mentioned a long time ago, but I haven’t been able to implement it because there are very few pills that can increase internal strength. Even our Xuanhua Shop doesn’t have many. Although our ancestors once passed down some pill formulas, it’s very difficult to refine them now. If it’s like this for our Xuanhua Shop, let alone other small sects.”

"To think you could sell these pills is a pipe dream!"

"I remember a long, long time ago, there was a Pill Pavilion in the martial arts world. It was very popular for a time, but then it disappeared for some reason."

"In the current martial arts world, if you want to obtain good pills, you have to go to the Southern Region and buy them from the medical building of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves. Not only is the journey long, but the price is also very expensive."

"Therefore, I think our traditional Chinese medicine drink doesn't need to be tied to any particular company!"

“If we set up our own shop, an independent shop, it will be much more convenient to sell other things in the future.”

Jia Daoshi nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Although his father-in-law gave him a portion of the shares, he could only receive dividends and did not have real management or pricing power.

Although Yi Qianxiao is the second young lady of Xuanhua Company and has a good business mind, having single-handedly created the prosperity of Xuanhua Company, she is now married. As the saying goes, a grown woman cannot stay at home forever, and now she thinks about everything, big or small, for her husband and considers everything very thoroughly.

After listening to Yi Qianxiao's words, Jia Daoshi also deeply agreed and nodded repeatedly.

Since my wife has said so, I should definitely listen to her!

Moreover, with such a business genius here, how could he let him go to waste?

He immediately handed the matter over to Yi Qianxiao.

As for himself, he devoted himself to studying the formulas for traditional Chinese medicine drinks.

A Chinese herbal drink bar must not only enhance one's skills but also taste good, so that the fairies in the martial arts world will willingly open their wallets to buy it!

The key is that the price has to be cheap, since some newcomers are always short of money at this stage.

The martial arts world isn't as easy to navigate as it's portrayed in novels, where extraordinary encounters are commonplace—that's a privilege reserved for protagonists.

Ordinary nobodys can only fight tooth and nail to survive.

Yi Qianxiao had been a bit bored staying in the manor these past few days. After all, she used to be a career-oriented woman. Now that she saw such a good project, she was full of energy. She took Di Qinglin and Murong Jiujiu out in a carriage and arrived in Yilan County. After taking a stroll around, she simply waved her hand and bought a detached old building at the crossroads.

After circling the old building, he waved his hand and ordered the renovation to begin.

After all, she was the second young lady of the Yi family. Not two days later, a brand new five-story, nearly fifteen-meter-tall loft appeared in the very center of Yilan County!

These past few days, this place has become the talk of the town for the residents of Yilan County.

Even Judge Bao of the county government sent men, led by Xing Yusen, to the scene to maintain order, direct traffic, and help with the construction.

"Tsk tsk, such a big attic, is it going to be a brothel?"

"I remember, only in Yanzhou City were there five-story buildings, right?"

Wow! That's impressive! I wonder which big shot is doing business in this small county town!

The nearby merchants were very curious.

After about ten days, the brand new attic was finally completed!

However, after the attic was completed, there was no intention to open it to guests immediately; in fact, no sign was even hung on the door.

This puzzled the people of Yilan County and the wandering knights from all over the country.

Another day passed, and finally a plaque was hung on the door of the attic.

Above, written in a flamboyant style, were four large characters: Honey Snow City!

"What does 'Mixue Ice Cream City' mean?"

"That's right, but what exactly does this shop sell?"

"Mixue Ice City, with honey, snow, and ice, could the things they sell be elixirs?"

"A pharmacy? This small county already has one Guang Sheng Hao pharmacy. If another one opens, I'm afraid the young master of the Ji family will come looking for trouble again!"

"Heh! Do you think he dares? Doesn't he even know who built this building? It's the second young lady of Xuanhua Company, and even Lord Bao Longxing came here to supervise the construction!"

"..."

However, the plaque was soon covered again with a red silk cloth.

While the people of Yilan County were still wondering what exactly was being sold there, a rumor began to circulate in the streets.

In the northern part of Dajing, in a small county called Yilan, there appeared a shop called Mixue Ice Cream, which sold the best things that martial arts heroes dreamed of!

This thing, once taken, can increase a person's power!

When they first heard this news, many martial arts heroes thought it must be fake!

The ability to increase one's skill level is considered a closely guarded secret in any sect, and is kept extremely precious.

How could it possibly be put up for sale?

Even if someone were to sell it, it wouldn't be something that could be bought with money.

Most would exchange them for treasures of equal value, such as rare medicinal herbs, divine weapons, a steed that could travel a thousand miles a day, or a beauty whose beauty could shame the moon and flowers...

It's outrageous that they openly state the price range for purchases.
