Chapter 143 - 142, Did Duke An’s Mansion Know?
Having heard Jinrong’s overt question, Fan Zhengyuan secretly wiped sweat from his brow. Sixth Master Rong said Lady Qi would not get up early for nothing, but now it seemed that Sixth Master Rong was the type who wouldn’t release his hawk until he saw the rabbit.
Fan Zhengyuan bowed and said, "Lady Qi says that the light cream from cow’s milk is already a top-tier ingredient, suitable for all kinds of desserts and capable of greatly enhancing the taste of food. If the remaining milk dregs can also be properly handled, she can assure you that the Dairy Products Industry could absolutely become a top-tier industry. As long as you can find the relevant skilled workers, she said, you may set the conditions for establishing this business."
Jinrong sized up Fan Zhengyuan, but his thoughts were not on him.
Ye Xinyan, who had left Duke An’s Mansion, was not the same naïve young lady she had been before. After several dealings, Jinrong absolutely did not believe that Ye Xinyan would willingly give away a top-notch business opportunity to someone else.
He had been to the Northern Barbarians and had seen that foods made from cattle and sheep milk were ubiquitous. He knew that processing cow’s milk was not a difficult task; it just required dedication, time, and finding one or two experienced people in making dairy products wouldn’t be hard.
Undoubtedly, Ye Xinyan had her own reasons for this course of action.
Looking again at Fan Zhengyuan, who seemed quite astute, Jinrong thought that Ye Xinyan, who was so cunning? She would probably not share her true intentions with Fan Zhengyuan.
"Hmm, I understand what you’re saying. You may leave now and tell Lady Qi that I will consider this proposition," Jinrong finally spoke.
