Before Jiang Jiuniang suggested turning goat milk into milk powder, she never thought that it was possible to actually turn a liquid into powder. How much effort would that take?
But it just so happens that it was made; those white powders are made from the juice, aren't they?
Jiang Jiuniang smiled modestly and said, "I had a sudden inspiration while reading a book, so I decided to give it a try, and I didn't expect it to actually work."
Peng Yuan's admiration for him was beyond words; she didn't say anything, but simply gave him a thumbs up.
She spoke simply, yet her ideas were years ahead of their time.
Many times, Peng Yuan felt that Jiang Jiuniang was not a person of this era. She lived so freely and unrestrainedly, saw everything clearly, cared about the people, and had a good personality. Her merits were so numerous that they could not be fully described for three days and three nights.
Soon, the steward brought over two cups of prepared milk. The rich aroma of milk whetted the appetite. Peng Yuan took a sip and immediately exclaimed, "Sister Jiu Niang, this is amazing!"
"It's not fishy at all, and it's even more fragrant than fresh goat milk. It's amazing!"
As she spoke, she took another sip, and then drank the whole cup in one go.
Jiang Jiuniang also took a bite and was very satisfied with the taste.
"Okay, we'll produce according to this standard. You have to remember, this isn't an ordinary business. Even the slightest mistake could cost your whole family their lives and we couldn't afford to compensate for it. You must guarantee the quality. Even if the speed is a little slower, it doesn't matter. As long as the quality is guaranteed, I can handle any problem accordingly."
Jiang Jiuniang emphasized it again.
"Yes, I understand."
The steward respectfully agreed, his face beaming with joy.
Many of the requirements have already been explained during previous employee training. It remains the same: everyone has three chances. If you can't protect those three chances, then you're out.
Not only did they leave, but they also had to return all the money they had earned in the workshop.
Furthermore, anyone who leaks the formula and process will face hefty compensation, let alone three times. Once discovered, their entire family, spanning three generations, will be imprisoned. This is the Empress's property; anyone who dares to mess with it will suffer the same fate as the Zhou family.
Under such circumstances, naturally no one dared to have any other thoughts; even if they were jealous, they could only keep it deep in their hearts.
After the steward went about his business, Peng Yuan asked, "Sister Jiu Niang, if goat milk can be like this, can cow milk be too?"
"Yes, and cow's milk tastes better. Once we've got this business running smoothly, I'll contact my brother-in-law and the others to set up a similar workshop in the city near the grasslands. That way, we can improve the livelihoods of the people there."
"You've thought it through perfectly! I'd like to invest too, just let me know when the time comes!"
"Absolutely! We'll have to bring the Empress along too. I have to say, her reputation is incredibly useful, hahaha!"
This business is absolutely unique in this era. As long as the Northern Yan royal family doesn't fall, no one will dare to compete with it.
Most importantly, the recipe and process are firmly in the hands of the Lu family. This provides the Lu family with a guarantee that even if they pass away, their descendants will not be oppressed too badly by the royal family's descendants.
Anyway, it will prosper for at least a hundred years.
After a busy day at the workshop, it was already dark when she got back, but Gou'er was still waiting for her with great enthusiasm.
Seeing the sparkle in his eyes, Jiang Jiuniang guessed that he must have had a very happy day at school.
Sure enough, the little dog ran over excitedly and said, "Mommy, everyone likes me very much, and the teacher praised me for speaking well!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiuniang nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the teacher at the school was indeed of good character and would not do anything to harbor hatred towards students who were better than him.
"Then quickly tell your mother what you did today?"
The dog led her inside, saying as they walked, "When I went to school this morning, I asked the teacher if I could teach a class. The teacher asked me what I wanted to teach, so I showed him the article I had prepared, and he agreed after reading it."
"Afterwards, I told everyone a short story, imitating how Mr. Kang used to teach us. Everyone liked listening to my story and was willing to listen to my lectures. I first finished what I had prepared for the day, and then I told them about my experiences, telling them that there are many possibilities in a person's life, and that one will not be trapped in one place forever. Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles. If you take the knowledge you have learned from books and go out to see the world, you will definitely gain a lot."
“They all thought I was right, and said they would study hard in the future and come to visit me in the capital when they grow up. I promised them, and I made a lot of good friends.”
The dog finished telling the story in one breath, his face flushed with excitement.
He was a little nervous at first, but he didn't expect his friends to be so supportive. The master even invited him to give a lecture to everyone every day or talk about the charm of the capital so that everyone could broaden their horizons.
"So, do you feel like you've learned anything from this?"
Jiang Jiuniang guided him step by step to express his thoughts.
The dog tilted its head and thought for a moment, then said, "Hmm... yes, I feel braver than before. I was a little nervous when I first started telling stories, worried that everyone would laugh at me, but when I was teaching, I felt very relaxed. And just like Mother said, reviewing the old helps one understand the new. When I was teaching everyone, I had different insights into the knowledge I had learned before. I'm going to go back and write an article, and I'll ask Mother to take a look at it for me later!"
You could tell he was really happy; he was practically skipping and hopping as he walked.
Jiang Jiuniang naturally wouldn't spoil his fun, so she smiled and agreed before returning to her room to lie down like Ge You.
Now they live in the villa of the prefect of Huizhou City. They are all their own people, and no one comes to disturb them usually, so it is quite comfortable.
After lying down for a while, I decided to get up and write a letter home to tell Lu Guilan and the others about the milk powder made from cow's milk.
Jiang Jiuniang's idea was for the Zhang brothers to set up a dairy farm on the grassland and hire people to take care of the cattle, so as to ensure high yield and good quality.
He also wrote a letter to Jiang Ruoya, inquiring about her health, since she was considered an older mother and her condition needed to be taken seriously.
After writing all this, Gou'er's article was finished. Jiang Jiuniang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She felt that this was Gou'er's reflection on being a junior teacher for the first time, and it was written in great detail.
She suggested, "You can take it to the school tomorrow for your teacher and classmates to see, so that everyone can give their opinions. A good article is one that everyone thinks is good."
No teacher dislikes a studious student, and Gou'er is not only excellent but also very willing to work hard. I believe he will definitely gain something different here.
This way, the trip with her wasn't in vain.
My darlings, I'll be back to updating twice a day for the next few days, then take a break for a few days, and start updating like crazy again next week. I feel like my brain can't keep up anymore...
