Without these dishes, he looked at the dishes on the table. No matter how he looked at them, he felt that they were bland. It was hard to have an appetite.
Fortunately, the restaurant that served them quickly was not far from their house. With the spicy skewers, they could continue to feel the joy of eating.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“There’s no problem making braised meat. 1 will buy meat tomorrow and send it to the Liu residence.”
“If it’s just bacon and sausages, the Liu residence didn’t make much before.”
“During the new year, His Highness and Young Master Liang took some more, and now there isn’t much left in the Liu residence.” Lin Xiaoyue said regretfully.
Thinking back, the amount of sausages and bacon she made was actually quite a lot, but it was consumed much faster than she expected.
Hei Gang revealed a regretful expression.
Zhou Shi looked at Lin Xiaoyue expectantly.
“Why don’t we make another batch? I’ll buy some meat and send it to the Liu residence!”
They were not the only ones who liked bacon and sausages. Her paternal family and cousin were also very fond of it.
They didn’t get to eat much of the bacon and sausages last time.
If he could make a batch, not only would he have enough to eat, but he could also send some to his maternal family and cousin’s family.
“Um…” Lin Xiaoyue hesitated.
The process of making cured meat and sausages was much more complicated than braised meat.
Should she make another batch?
“Aiya, the workshop won’t start work so soon anyway. If you are busy, I can do it with Chen Shi and the others!” Zhou Shi quickly said.
Lin Xiaoyue thought of something.
“I… I have another idea.”
Everyone immediately looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue’s thoughts became clearer after thinking deeply.
“I want to open a bacon, sausage and braised meat workshop.” When she spoke this time, Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes were filled with determination.
The chili seeds had just been sown, so it would take at least two months for them to grow.
Now, with the continuous return of the Nangong Army and the establishment of the chain stores, she had to spend a large amount of money every day.
At this time, opening a sausage and bacon workshop and selling braised meat could earn some money to make up for it.
The pig farm had not opened yet, so she had to buy the pork.
However, if she could sell the finished product immediately after it was produced, it should not take up too much capital.
Of course, she had to discuss this with Liang Yu first.
Zhou Shi’s eyes lit up.
“This is good! Bacon, sausages, and braised meat would definitely sell well!”
“Where are you going to open your workshop? Do you need my help?” Zhou Shi said enthusiastically.
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.
“At the Zhou Manor. The place is big and there are many people there.”
Lin Xiaoyue said as she looked at Zhou Shi.
“Although there’s still some time before the opening of the chili workshop, it’s still a matter of time. However, some things had to be prepared in advance. I’m afraid you’ll be busy.”
Zhou Shi paused.
“Tell me.” She became much more serious.
Noticing that the atmosphere at the table had become serious, Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after this.”
Zhou Shi’s expression finally relaxed.
“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s have a good chat after dinner!” She quickly called everyone to continue eating.
Thus, the table quickly resumed its liveliness.
After dinner, Hei Gang, Li Xiao, and Xiao Yang left.
Lin Xiaoyue stayed back to discuss the chili workshop with Zhou Shi.
“The previous workshop was built according to the amount of chili production of the three manors. Even if they could add more workers and process more goods, it would still not be enough to support all the output of the twelve manors.”
When Zhou Shi heard this, her expression immediately became solemn.
“Then…the workshop needs to be expanded?”
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“Not only are we expanding, I’m also planning to open more workshops in some of the manors.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhou Shi.
“There isn’t much land left next to the Liu residence. Even if we expand the workshop, the amount of land is limited.”
“Next, we will send all the chilis and cabbages to Daishi Village for processing. Transportation is also a troublesome matter. After all, some of the 12 manors were not close to the village.”
“In that case, it’s better to open a workshop in the manor. After the finished product is made, ask those from the Zhou and Liu residence to come and transport them.”
Zhou Shi thought as she listened. She nodded.
“That makes sense.
“And it just so happens that the manor has enough manpower. You don’t have to worry about not being able to hire workers.”
“Yes, I think so too. There are so many people in the Nangong Army, and it’s time to arrange work for them..”
