Chapter 194 - 193: It Seems Like I’ve Boarded a Pirate Ship
Hu Jing had no words for Miss Ye, the attitude she had just promised was so good, so quick, it seems there wasn’t much sincerity behind it. Although Miss Ye spoke correctly, your phrasing poses a problem. Describing His Majesty the Emperor as such sounds very inappropriate.
Hu Jing changed the subject, asking about practical matters, "I wonder how much Cheese Powder and cream cheese Lady Qi has on hand?"
When it came to business matters, Ye Xinyan’s tone became serious, "Cream cheese isn’t suitable for storage; we make and use it on demand. There are probably a few dozen pounds of Cheese Powder that can be taken away. The key issue is the shortage of butter, and the small amount we have stored here was recently made by Zhang Baokui’s team. It’s said that butter can be stored for an extended period, but I cannot guarantee the quality of the newly made butter or how long it can actually be stored."
This posed a difficult problem, causing Hu Jing to frown.
Ye Xinyan explained, "Previously, we used thin cream, which is skimmed directly from the top layer of cow’s milk without removing the water content. This thin cream can’t be kept for long, as it will grow mold and spoil within a few days. The butter is also produced under Zhang Baokui’s supervision. I am unfamiliar with butter production."
Hu Jing asked, "What should we do, then? If dairy products can’t withstand storage or transportation, their value greatly diminishes. The Dairy Products Store might not have the brilliant prospects Miss Ye mentioned to Sixth Master."
Ye Xinyan laughed in surprise, "Where in this world are there so many ready-made advantages waiting for people? If dairy was so easy to produce, everyone in the world could do it, then why would I seek out Sixth Master?"
Hu Jing found himself at a loss for words due to Ye Xinyan’s question. He awkwardly chuckled and said, "It was my oversight. Lady Qi, if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to share them."
