As if thinking of something, Jiang Zhinian said, "Oh, by the way, I remember when we were plowing the land in the spring, we asked everyone to buy some cows for plowing. There are cows, right?"

Everyone responded, "Yes, yes, there are several cows. My mother has to help milk them in the morning. The milk tastes fishy and is not good to drink."

"My mother said it's good for the body, but I can't drink it."

"In the past, when we were hungry, we didn't care whether it smelled fishy or not, we would just drink it. Now that life is better and we have enough food to eat, we don't drink it if we don't want to."

Jiang Zhinian's expression changed when he heard this. He thought he could try the method his grandfather mentioned.

"Well, thank you for taking the trouble to run over there. Please take these two large buckets and help me get two buckets of milk."

Jiang Zhinian smiled when she thought of the cold drinks in summer.

Chen Fengcang and the others didn't bother to get the juice in the bamboo tube, and hurriedly took the bucket to get the milk.

The boss was so polite to them and even said he was in trouble.

Chunlan smiled and said, "Miss, not only Lin Dayong is getting married in the village, many people have already arranged marriages."

"I heard that many families in the village marry their daughters to their own village, or to people under your command. Anyway, few people are willing to leave the village."

"Everyone knows that the young lady is a good person. She earns a lot of money working in the village, and she doesn't bully others."

Everyone thinks that the lady is nice from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Chunlan was filled with gratitude when she looked at Jiang Zhinian.

Jiang Zhinian seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, I remember your brother Liu Song is also 20 years old, right? He is also going to get married, right?"

In many families, children get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

She remembered that Chunlan had said before that her brother was an apprentice in a martial arts school and was beaten and injured. At that time, the family that Liu Song was engaged to broke off the engagement.

Jiang Zhinian also wanted to make use of Chunlan, so he gave Chunlan some money to hire a doctor for her brother, and later arranged for her to work on the farm.

Of course they all signed the indenture.

Moreover, Chunlan's parents and her brother are all good at manipulating the banker's house.

In the previous winters, they were responsible for looking after the vegetables, fruits and melons grown in the greenhouse.

Today, Liu Song is still valued and is also a small manager in Zhuangzi.

Liu Song has regular features and a steady temperament. He doesn't talk much in front of outsiders and is taciturn, which makes him look a little cold.

But Jiang Zhinian felt that Liu Song was a caring person.

You can see it from how Liu Song treats his sister.

Chunlan was a little flattered and said, "I didn't expect that the young lady still remembered my brother. My parents mentioned it, but my brother said to finish the things at hand first."

"My parents are actually quite anxious."

"But my brother has his own ideas."

Jiang Zhinian said, "I think your brother's personality is suitable for a girl with a more lively personality."

Chunlan's eyes lit up, "It would be an honor for my brother if a lady could arrange for the host."

Jiang Zhinian smiled and said, "It depends on what the person involved thinks."

Jiang Zhinian thought about it and decided that the girl currently assigned to the fruit and vegetable store was named Zixiang.

She was originally a second-class maidservant beside her. She was very lively and did not like to do things quietly. She liked to talk, laugh, and gossip.

She could find out anything that happened.

When she was in Yongping Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Zhinian would often arrange for her to find out things.

Such people are not calm enough, but they are very smart, can read and write, and have learned accounting very well in the past few months.

Jiang Zhinian didn't let her be a first-class maid, but arranged for her to be the manager of a fruit and vegetable store, responsible for the business in the store and the accounting.

The store has special waiters to serve customers and sell fruits and vegetables.

Zixiang did a great job.

"What do you think of Zixiang?"

Chunlan's eyes lit up, "Zixiang has a very good personality."

I can't help but feel happy when I'm with Zixiang. Zixiang has a funny personality and speaks in an interesting way.

How could she not have thought that Zixiang really had the same personality as her brother.

"But we must also respect Zixiang's ideas."

Jiang Zhinian smiled and said, "Don't be anxious about this kind of thing. Find a time to let your brother and Zixiang have more contact. Don't let them know your purpose. Let them get in touch naturally."

"So, from now on, let your brother drive the horse-drawn carriage to deliver the potatoes, fruits and vegetables from the farm to the store, and Zixiang will be the one to take care of them."

"Zheng Daniu's carriage can just deliver the fruits to the restaurant."

Chunlan burst into tears of gratitude again towards Jiang Zhinian, "Miss, you are so kind to me."

Jiang Zhinian patted her hands and said, "You have worked loyally for me, so I will not treat you unfairly."

"If you need my help with anything, just tell me directly, don't keep it in your heart."

Chunlan nodded vigorously.

What she was most grateful for was working for her master and being valued by him.

Now my parents and elder brother can all be given important positions.

……

Soon, Chen Fengcang and his friends came back with two large buckets of milk.

Jiang Zhinian began to try to boil milk with almond tea leaves.

After it was cooked, Jiang Zhinian scooped it out, let it cool, and poured it into bamboo cups for everyone to have a taste.

Jiang Zhinian also tasted it herself, and her expression changed.

"I didn't expect that after adding tea leaves, there is really no fishy smell, and it tastes quite good."

Chunlan, Chen Fengcang and the others don't like drinking milk, but since the boss has given the order, they will naturally drink it without hesitation.

After taking a sip, Chen Fengcang was stunned, "Boss, this... milk is so delicious. It tastes different from what we drank before."

"Yes, yes, it smells good."

“It has a strong aroma.”

“There’s no fishy smell at all.”

Jiang Zhinian said: "Of course, I used a method to remove the fishy smell."

"If you all think it tastes good, then there's no problem. We can open a cold drink shop so that everyone can drink cold drinks and herbal tea to cool off in the summer."

She went to observe the streets and looked at many stores.

In summer, people drink more alcohol, but fewer people drink tea.

Even if someone goes to a teahouse to drink tea, they drink herbal tea.

She also discovered a phenomenon, that is, most of the people who went to the teahouse to drink tea were men.

She wanted to provide many ladies and young ladies with a place to rest and talk.

In the spring, Yan Jiyou gave her an invitation, which was an invitation to the Grand Princess's Mansion.

When she went to the banquet, she found that many newly married ladies could not see each other as often as the ladies in the boudoir.

Many people say that they haven’t seen each other for a long time, and they can’t talk as freely and relaxedly as they do in the boudoir.

Especially at banquets, everyone is watching your every move, making it inconvenient to talk and chat.

But if you open a special cold drink shop, similar to a teahouse, it can provide a place specifically for ladies and young ladies.

Only women are welcome.

Maybe business will be better.

She owns jewelry and clothing stores, so she naturally knows how strong women's purchasing power is.

They all bought rouge, powder, gold, silver and jewelry, spending hundreds of taels of silver without blinking an eye.

She ran a cold drink shop, and this kind of milk with tea added only cost twenty cents a cup, which was just a drop in the bucket for these ladies and girls, nothing at all.

Jiang Zhinian felt a little hot in his heart as he thought about this.
