Chapter 52 New Skirt

Everything was going smoothly at the branch in Witch's Forest. Lolisa and the others had their own rules, so Jiangyou didn't interfere too much.

She simply mentioned her next step to Lolisa: she wanted to open a noodle shop in the Witch Forest, also with a shop in front and a factory in the back, making noodles during the day and boiling them at night. Dried noodles were easy to store and could be shipped and sold elsewhere.

This idea had been brewing in Jiangyou's mind for a long time. She felt that the Witch Forest had unique natural conditions. First, it was the original source of wheat, and the soil was fertile. The wheat grown here had an excellent carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, making it perfect for making noodles.

Secondly, there is a waterwheel mill next to the river in the Witch Village, which makes it very convenient to grind flour. The village often dries wheat, and there are enough drying yards, and all relevant facilities are available.

Third, the village has abundant labor force.

While the witches' main occupation is brewing wine, neither growing the wheat used as the raw material nor brewing the wine itself involves a uniform daily workload. Farming has its busy and slack seasons. After tending the fields, planting the seeds, and managing water, fertilizer, and pests, everything else must be left to time and fate, allowing the plants to slowly absorb sunlight and rain and grow.

The same is true for winemaking. Once the preliminary work is completed, you need to relax and allow the yeast and other bacteria to reproduce leisurely, gradually deepening the flavor of the wine... This kind of thing cannot be rushed. In fact, being too impatient will actually affect the flavor of the finished wine.

Therefore, the people here are always busy and idle at different times, which makes it very suitable for them to do odd jobs when they are free, such as making products that do not take too long to make, such as noodles.

Once dried, noodles can be stored for a long time and easily packaged for storage or shipped for sale. Making a large enough batch at once can keep it for a long time, allowing people to return to their work and make the next batch when they have some free time.

It does not delay anything and can earn more profits. Jiangyou thinks this is a very cost-effective thing.

After hearing this, Lolisa also thought it was reliable. She promised to make arrangements for Jiangyou in the village, including finding a store location, recruiting staff, communicating with the witch in charge and obtaining permission... All these would take time. It was estimated that when Jiangyou returned from the royal capital, he would be able to hear the report on the results of the first phase.

Jiangyou was very satisfied with this. After teaching Meili a few new dishes, she took the dividends from the settlement and drove the mule cart back home.

When they left, there was only a little sauce in the car, but when they returned, the sauce had turned into bamboo products given by the beavers, newly arrived witch beer, flour, wheat and fresh freshwater river fish.

On the way, Takumi stopped at a tofu workshop and shared some freshwater fish with Alexi. She was going to the capital with Andrei the next day, and this amount of fish wasn't enough to sell, and there was too much for the staff meal. Takumi only kept enough for tonight's cooking and gave the rest to Alexi.

The witches gave grass carp and crucian carp, and cooking them into tofu soup is very nourishing and is the most suitable drink for their family.

Alexi was very capable. In a few days, he had cleaned up the house and made it livable. It was clean and tidy. Even though there were so many children living there, it didn't look messy. In the kitchen were several plates of freshly made tofu, white, tender, and square, very beautiful.

Alexi worked diligently, and such a dedicated person possessed a natural talent for whatever they learned. Jiangyou was pleased and explained that Holly would send a driver every day to collect the tofu. The price and time had already been agreed upon; Alexi only needed to deliver the goods on time, with guaranteed quality and quantity.

"Okay." The cicada answered stiffly. She was always a little uneasy when she was next to Jiangyou, afraid that she would not do something right and make the lich boss angry, so that he would take back all the good things that he had given to their family.

Jiangyou knew that this lack of security was not a problem that could be solved with simple words. The cicadas had been accustomed to looking at people's faces in their lives for too long. Although they had now left that environment, they had not been able to make a complete change in their mentality.

"While I'm in the capital, the brewery's tofu consumption capacity might be down. And Nasha isn't very staffed either," Takumi said. "I'll have them refer customers who want to buy tofu directly here. Then you can just sell it according to our price list. If there aren't many customers that day and there's a lot of tofu left, you should deep-fry it while it's still fresh, or freeze it in the brewery's freezer."

Alexi agreed, kneading her apron again, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Manager, I have something for you!"

Jiang You: “?”

This was a development she had not expected at all.

Alexi hurried into the house and brought back a skirt. The light goose yellow fabric looked soft and comfortable, brightening the eyes without being too glaring.

"It's a dress I made myself, and it's not expensive," she whispered. "You can try it on to see if it fits. I can make changes right away if there's anything uncomfortable. I've never made clothes for a skeleton before, so I'm afraid some details might not be quite right."

Without much hesitation, Jiang You took the dress and quickly put it on. This light yellow dress was a perfect fit. It didn't have any fancy designs, but the cut and style were very trendy. If she added a large straw hat, it would be a perfect outfit for summer travel!

Jiangyou turned around on the spot, and her long skirt fluttered into a perfect circle, then slowly fell down, which was very beautiful.

"It fits me perfectly! And I like it too! This color makes my bones look two shades brighter!" Jiang You said happily.

However, Alexi still frowned: "Please wait a moment."

She left in a hurry and returned in a hurry, holding a floral belt of the same color. The thin, light yellow belt was meticulously stitched with small flowers made of various colored gauze. The flowers came in a wide variety of colors, but the arrangement was very pleasing to the eye.

Alexi helped Jiang You tie his belt, then took two steps back and carefully looked him up and down. Only then did he smile from the bottom of his heart: "Looks good!"

Jiang You stood in front of a full-length mirror. Her pale yellow dress, adorned with a three-dimensional floral belt, instantly gained a touch of liveliness. With the belt fastened, the skeleton's seemingly impossibly thin waist was accentuated by the skirt, a slender figure that could be held in one hand, a slenderness unattainable by ordinary humans.

——After all, she only has one spine at her waist!
