Chapter 174 - 173: What Does It Have to Do with Me
And there was that large quantity of skimmed dried cheese, which, though a good chew and arguably very tasty, how could such a thing earn silver? And how large an audience would need so many things to chew on?
Ye Xinyan thought it over and decided to grind the tough and hard dried cheese residue into powder and try using it in pastries to see how it turned out.
Back in the day, she knew of the existence of cheese powder, but she had never bought or used it before and was unsure of the taste.
However, what was certain was that others’ cheese powder was definitely made through proper lactic acid bacteria fermentation, followed by neutralization, salting, washing, and then spray-drying into powder. It surely wouldn’t be like hers, obtaining cheese powder by using the most traditional stone mill to grind dried cheese residue.
Despite numerous uncertainties, Ye Xinyan still planned to give it a try. After all, solutions are created by people, and without trying, how could one know whether it would succeed or not? So, on a whim, Ye Xinyan bought a fairly large stone mill to test making her cheese powder.
The next day, compared to the past two, was a lot more relaxed.
Early in the morning, having finished the daily inspection of the cattle farm and checking on the already fermented cow’s milk and the milk undergoing fermentation, Ye Xinyan couldn’t help worrying.
Handling these things requires manpower and a lot of time. It seems she really needed to hire workers; otherwise, even if she exhausted herself, she couldn’t handle so much work alone. She couldn’t really expect the high-ranking house servants from Prince Yu’s Mansion to do such coarse tasks as chopping wood and making fires for her.
Before Ye Xinyan had decided who to hire for the work, Fan Zhengyuan brought Liu Qing to her.
Fortunately, she had written the business plan, or the by-laws as Liu Qing and the others had called it, ahead of time; otherwise, she would have been embarrassed if Liu Qing had cornered her at her door.
