Chapter 1590 - 1589: Manor in the Capital City_1
Additionally, there was cow and sheep milk, produced in large quantities every day from five thousand sheep and five thousand cows, because Qiao Xiaomai would feed them Spiritual Spring water every five or six days. As a result, the quality of the milk was decent, but not particularly outstanding.
The business at the Extreme Flavor Residence had been poor these days, selling very little, so Qiao Xiaomai ended up sending the milk to the Military Camp, for the soldiers to drink.
Providing the soldiers with milk was certainly good, but it would have been better if the milk could be processed into dairy products and sold for money.
Making desserts with cow’s milk was a good choice, but given the average quality of the milk, if ordinary flour were to be mixed in, the quality of the milk would deteriorate even further.
After serious consideration, Qiao Xiaomai finally decided to make Milk Candy.
This could be stored for a longer time, allowing people to buy it and slowly consume it at home.
Having made her decision, Qiao Xiaomai became more diligent in visiting the pasture on the thousand acres of land, going every two days. Each visit, she would feed the cows and sheep Spiritual Spring water. Moreover, because this pasture was far away, Yang Wenxiao had the Divine Crossbow Team escort her. Anyone who approached her carriage on the road was shown no mercy and killed on the spot—the security was tighter than for Yang Wenxiao’s own travels.
She retrieved cow and sheep milk and had it all transported to the Palace, where the Imperial Kitchen staff would turn it into Milk Candy.
The milk was of good quality, and since Milk Candy didn’t require the addition of Spiritual Water, she didn’t have to do it herself; leaving it to the Imperial Kitchen staff was enough.
Just having Milk Candy wasn’t sufficient, so after careful thought, Qiao Xiaomai also rummaged through many shells. Previously, all shells from Yuhu and surrounding prefectures had been transported to the Capital City, and the market for shell handicrafts was already saturated. Now it was time to sell these ordinary and cheaper wares.
There was also Nori, made from purple seaweed. She had been busy with various matters before and had not considered turning the seaweed into Nori, but since she was planning to sell off stock, Nori was added to the list as well.
