Many people then had the idea of ​​using these melons as gifts.

While the Cloud Pavilion and these products haven't yet made a name for themselves.

Seize the opportunity quickly to build relationships.

The white jade melon, in particular, is so beautiful that it is sure to catch the eye of many important people.

There's also the king melon, how exotic! It's enough to send to ordinary nobles, or even to the palace.

The only regret is that the Kirin melons cannot be sold individually.

In addition, the other two types of melons are also subject to purchase limits.

Regardless of how many people are in line, each household is limited to purchasing only one type of melon per day.

Furthermore, those who buy whole melons are no longer allowed to buy loose melons.

There's no other way but to impose such strict restrictions.

The watermelon yield is not low, but there aren't many that can be sold individually.

The highest yield is from the Bawang melon, totaling over 30,000 jin per mu.

Each melon weighs forty or fifty pounds.

One acre yields only five or six hundred plants.

Rich people don't even look at the price when they go crazy.

If we let them buy freely, they won't be able to sell for long.

Besides, such expensive items can be stored and transported, so there's a chance that even more people will sneak in and resell them.

Can she not be killed?

She planted one acre of king melon.

If they're sold out, unless she has superpowers that can induce childbirth, we'll have to wait until next year.

She wasn't short of money, so she didn't plan to pressure her to have more children.

Besides, things are valued for their rarity.

Two mu each of the other two types of melons.

The yield of white jade melons is the lowest, at 8,000 jin per mu, with about 500 melons per mu, totaling about 1,000 melons.

The yield of Kirin melons is 15,000 per mu, which is nearly a thousand melons.

Watermelons can be stored for a while, so she didn't plan to sell them all so quickly.

Each day, the store only supplies ten of each type, and it's sold out quickly.

After all, they also need to supply Wei Man Zhai, as well as the beverage and snack shops that are about to open.

So when the people who came later found out that today's supply of whole melons had been sold out, they were dumbfounded.

No amount of persuasion from the shopkeepers worked; I had no choice but to rush off to find an acquaintance who had bought the melon.

Even strangers are being targeted.

After hesitating for a long time, Yu Shaolian finally bought a white jade melon.

He couldn't bring himself to buy the giant watermelon.

After all, he was just a member of a collateral branch of the family and didn't have much pocket money to begin with.

The money he spends on a regular basis is mostly earned from his private businesses.

He just lacked ambition and only did odd jobs to earn a living.

After all, if they grow too big, they'll eventually be brought under the family's control if they're discovered.

He didn't want to be someone else's stepping stone.

Normally, buying fruits and vegetables would cost less than ten taels of silver a day, and some vegetables didn't even need to be bought every day.

So it's still within my budget.

But if you're talking about spending tens or hundreds of taels of silver every day to buy melons, then you really can't afford to waste so much.

Even though he hadn't spent much during this period, his savings were starting to run out.

So he planned to buy a white jade melon and deliver it to the master's house, along with a letter, to see if he could swindle some living expenses.

Unfortunately, today's quota was used up, and the servants only managed to get two slices of Kirin melon at a high price.

Taking a bite of the melon made his suffering even worse.

Such delicious melon, but I can only eat two slices today. What a miserable life!

Yun Zhiyi stopped dealing with the melon-selling business, which caused a lot of complaints.

She's busy with something else right now.

Before three days had passed, Lu Jingyi sent the selected cooks to the manor.

She was busy training these people.

The desserts were fine; she didn't have to do much of the work.

All you need to do is give them the compiled dessert recipes and let them study them.

Mainly beverages.

As she instructed, Lu Jingyi sent over several apprentices, all of whom were reliable individuals selected from Weimanzhai.

These people have some basic skills, but their foundation is not deep enough. They are doing new things, so they need her to teach them step by step.

Fortunately, drinks are easier than desserts; you just need to figure out the proportions and order.

The store is quite large, so naturally we can't just offer a few varieties for the first time.

She plans to offer a hundred different kinds of desserts for the first time.

There are also twenty kinds of drinks, and some snacks are also available.

She specifically chose a few simpler snacks.

It mainly consists of cookies, shortbread, and small cakes.

It can be produced in batches, and the workmanship is not complicated.

The beverage selection is currently tentatively set at twenty types.

The main attraction is tea tasting, which occupies an entire floor on the second floor, designed for a relaxing experience and tea tasting.

The process of making tea is complex and time-consuming, so it can only be considered a high-end beverage or a customized item.

She plans to turn that place into a high-end club, accessible only to members.

To become a member, you must spend at least 100 taels of silver per month in the store.

The rest will be in the lobby on the first floor, tentatively set at five types of smoothies, five types of sweet soups, and ten special drinks, which are milk teas.

She specially sought out a blacksmith's shop and had an ice-shaving machine custom-made for her shaved ice.

Because it was quite elaborate, it cost her two hundred taels.

The five types are: Red Bean Jam Smoothie, Mixed Fruit Smoothie, Dried Fruit Syrup Smoothie, Single Fruit Smoothie, and Mixed Sauce Smoothie.

As for the fruits, they will be selected according to the ripe fruits in the village, and only seasonal varieties will be available.

The tentative sweet soup options are: tangerine peel and mung bean iced drink, pear with rock sugar, longan, red dates, and brown sugar, taro ball and jelly mixed sweet soup, and sweet bean and tofu pudding.

(The text refers to Cantonese-style sweet soup from the South~ The picture above is taro ball sweet soup)

Milk tea is much simpler.

The ten varieties are: Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, Strawberry Juice, Grape Juice, Watermelon Juice, Mixed Fruit Tea, Lemon Green Tea, Black Tea with Milk Foam, Iced Fruit Milk Tea, Soybean Powder Mochi Milk Tea, and Red Date Ginger Milk Tea.

The types of fruit also vary depending on the ingredients provided.

Once things stabilize, we can introduce new product categories at an appropriate time.
