Chapter 398: Dessert Store

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Eating mutton in winter was the most warming and nourishing feeling.

...

Today’s several big dishes were all mutton, including roasted leg of lamb, braised lamb chops, braised mutton with radish, steamed mutton with powder, and mutton in a dry pot. They were all served straight out of the pot. The chefs at the restaurants were pretty good at cooking.

Yuezheng Xiao could not help but talk about the dessert stores during lunchtime.

Qiao Xuan told him that they already bought the land for opening and they could plant the creeping figs in spring and harvest them in autumn.

There were many creeping figs this year, and the sun dried ones should weigh over 50kg.

But those were not enough to open a dessert store.

They needed to have at least three or five stores in the province so that they could acquire the market as soon as possible and earn money. One store would earn too little profit.

They could not just sell jelly and needed to offer something more as well.

This ice powder jelly could not be copied by others. Other things such as sugar taro seedlings, mung bean paste, lily lotus seed and almond soup, bean curd and bean brain, were easy to learn as long as others saw them.

So, they needed to take over the market right at the beginning, so all the tastes could be showcased well, and could stand firmly and for a long duration.

They did not need to open the store as of this moment but they could start the preparations until all was set and ready to go.

Qiao Xuan also mentioned raising cows, and she wondered if the cows could be bred because milk could lead to making many other interesting dishes as well.

Taking advantage of the trend, she also mentioned sago, cassava, and papaya available in the south. If they could find those, the whole thing would get much better.

Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong were both shocked.

This was far more than jelly! They were even thinking about raising cows?

What was sago rice? Cassava? They never heard about these things. They had heard of papaya, but never saw it before…

Yuezheng Xiao gave Qiao Xuan an admiring look as he sighed. “You have such vast knowledge! Everything sounds so good. Draw me some pictures, so I can try this with my Elder Brother. As long as we have them on this land, we will definitely find them!”

His Elder Brother had befriended many wandering people as a businessman. Although they were not very close friends, they could offer some help to find the stuff they needed.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Yes, I also read some sayings in a book about foreign countries. The sago and cassava should come from the West, and most of them have to go to the south to find them.”

Yuezheng Xiao nodded. “I will speak with my brother!”

He smiled as he looked at Xie Jingrong. “We do have cows. Their family happened to have a small ranch, and they raised some cows there.”

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan turned to Xie Jingrong.

Xie Jingrong smiled. “My grandfather and grandmother like milk, so the family specially raised a few cows, which were easy to handle. Soon, I will take over this pasture and expand it to raise a few more cows. Twenty or thirty should be enough.”

Qiao Xuan didn’t know if that was enough, but how many cows could be raised on a ranch needed to be calculated by experience or in a scientific way, not as per their wish.

Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded. “Twenty and thirty should be enough, let’s see how the store business goes!”

Yuezheng Xiao smiled happily. “The business should be good!”

They talked for a few minutes before leaving. It was quite late in the day..
