With an outline in his heart, Yuezheng Xiao would be able to make a final decision about the business deal.
The Yan Family had been busy building workshops, booking tools and trying new products. They should have spare ones available.
On the table, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong were very surprised when they ate the cold-stirred yubas.
They had eaten all kinds of delicious things, and they always had some impression of what they had tasted.
But whenever they were offered food at the Shao Family, they would look forward to seeing something new. After all, they could always eat something different at the Shao Family each time they were here.
This time too, they realized that they had never eaten yubas before.
Yubas had a taste of bean, and a tender texture. They wondered how yubas were made.
Yuezheng Xiao was about to ask when Shao Yunduan smiled. “They are made of beans, the same as tofu. We can talk about this after lunch. We have other similar ones.’
When Yuezheng Xiao heard that this business would become his as well, he nodded with a smile. “Okay, okay, we will talk about it later. I have some surprisingly good news to share with you as well.”
It was a lively and fun meal, and after lunch, they gathered again in the hall where Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were living.
Xie Jingrong knew that they were going to talk about business, so he went back to his guest room to take a break.
Yuezheng Xiao became really interested in the bean products Qiao Xuan talked about.
Tofu was a popular and common thing, cheap and delicious, always well-received among civilians. The Yuezheng Family had never run any tofu business, but they had never stopped eating dishes with tofu.
The servants would always eat dishes with tofu as well.
But what Qiao Xuan told them was different. These bean products could be kept for a long time. Yubas, and cream skin, when dried, could be preserved for months. Puffs as well as dried tofu could be stored for a few days as well, which would make selling them much easier.
More importantly, no one had done such business before.
As long as they were the only ones, they could earn a lot of money.
As long as the bean products were seen in the market, many tofu makers would try to find out a way to produce something new. But they would not be able to figure it out so fast, so there was a chance for Yuezheng Xiao to take over the market first.
He had not eaten yubas or dried tofu, but the stirred crema skin had already surprised him and made him happy.
Qiao Xuan said that tofu cream skin could be stirred and fried with almost all vegetables and meat. They could be the wrap for different fillings to fry and cook, or boiled in hot water with or without spices. They were great ingredients for all kinds of dishes.
The best thing was that they could be sold at a very low price.
Therefore, once launched in the market, the products were going to be really popular.
Yuezheng Xiao was very glad. He always received wonderful news whenever he was here.
“l have got some good news for you too. I am not going to save it for tomorrow. I have held it in for too long! Brother Shao and Sister-in-law, the tea bricks worked! Thank you so much for helping us out, Sister-in-law!”
The Yuezheng Family’s most important business was the tea leaves transported to the northwest. Now that the tea bricks were so well made, the Yuezheng Family’s business would flourish from the foundation up.
The instruction Qiao Xuan gave to them in making tea bricks surprised all the masters, who were all experts and could tell whether the instructions were reliable with just one glimpse.
They had tried making it according to the instructions. There were some bumps in the process initially, but the direction and key points were all on the track, solving all the minor issues..
