Chapter 267 Chestnut Cake
When purchasing a herbal medicine shop, Ye Jintang did not choose a shop with a large warehouse, but asked the shopkeeper Qiao to purchase a warehouse somewhere else.
The reason is very simple. Most of the pharmacies in Mucheng are concentrated on one street, and the street is crowded. Any shop with a large warehouse is located in a relatively remote area.
The location behind the business is very important, so Ye Jintang gave up the warehouse and chose the shop with the best location.
I have to say that Mucheng is a very interesting city. All the medicinal material shops are concentrated on one street, and even the warehouses are concentrated in a small area, making it convenient to choose.
All the work was done in one morning. Ye Jintang filled the warehouse with medicinal materials while no one was paying attention. He handed the key to the shopkeeper Qiao and asked him to come over after lunch to count the herbs.
Manager Qiao looked at the key in his hand, his heart full of curiosity. When he was in Quyang City, the medicinal materials in the warehouse suddenly appeared, and it was the same this time when he came to Mucheng.
How on earth did Ye Jintang manage to transport the medicinal materials to the warehouse in just a few hours?
It's impossible that they brought a large amount of medicinal herbs with them when they entered the city?
Manager Qiao, who was full of doubts, did not ask about the origin of the medicinal materials, but did everything according to Ye Jintang's instructions.
After buying the herbal medicine shop and the warehouse, they needed to hire staff. Manager Qiao went to take care of the herbal medicine shop, while Gu Wan'er took Ye Jintang to buy chestnut cakes.
There are a total of four shops selling relatively good chestnut cakes in Mucheng. Ye Jintang sat in the carriage and watched Gu Waner go to each shop to buy one.
While watching, Ye Jintang was also paying attention to the sales of the dim sum shop.
It is obvious that shops with good taste are always crowded with people.
"My queen, please try these chestnut cakes and see if they have very different flavors. They are all delicious."
There were four chestnut cakes lined up on the carriage. Ye Jintang tasted them one by one. Perhaps others could not taste the difference in taste, but she could.
Two of the chestnut cakes had a lot of sugar added to them, which almost covered up the chestnut fragrance of the chestnut cakes, making them completely sweet.
The other two were very well made, with moderate sweetness and a strong chestnut flavor.
"It tastes okay. Let's try making some ourselves later. We'll go buy some chestnuts and you can find a cook who can make chestnut cakes to come to the inn."
"it is good."
Gu Wan'er agreed readily. After working with Ye Jintang for such a long time, it would be hard for her to not be efficient.
She gave her the feeling that no matter what happened, she could arrange it properly.
After strolling around for the whole morning, Ye Jintang returned to the inn almost at dinner time.
"Jintang, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as he entered the lobby of the inn, Xiao Mo came up to him with a man.
When Ye Jintang saw the strange man, he was stunned. The man in front of him had a very special appearance. He had dark skin and gave people a very fierce feeling.
If he stood on the mountain, she would suspect that he was a bandit.
"Who is this?"
"He is Bai Ziyao."
Ye Jintang never expected that the man in front of him was actually Xiao Mo's cousin. No wonder he said that Bai Ziyao had been running back and forth between the capital and the border for years, delivering messages for him.
If an ordinary person kept running to the border, he would be robbed countless times along the way. Only someone like Bai Ziyao, who has a gangster-like appearance, could control the situation.
"I've met my empress."
Bai Ziyao stepped forward and saluted Ye Jintang.
The lobby of the inn was not a place to talk, so the three of them went to Xiao Mo's room to talk.
Before this, Xiao Mo had already told Bai Ziyao about Ye Jintang's situation, so he knew a little about what he was going to do.
"I want to open a herbal medicine shop and a grocery store in Mucheng, as well as a pastry workshop specializing in chestnut cakes. I will sell chestnut cakes in the grocery store in the future."
It was not uncommon for a grocery store to sell chestnut cakes, and Bai Ziyao didn't say anything after hearing this.
"Tomorrow the prince and I will set off again. I can only provide recipes and raw materials for the pastry workshop. I am afraid I will not be able to take care of things like making pastries and distributing goods. I have arranged for my cousin Gu Wan'er to watch over the pastry workshop. Is there still hope?"
Ye Jintang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to address Bai Ziyao. Her eyes fell on Xiao Mo. He was his cousin. Should she also call him cousin?
"Jintang, just call me cousin."
"Okay, it will take more than a day or two to open a shop in Mucheng, so I want my cousin Bai to help me keep an eye on it."
With two capable people, Bai Ziyao and Qi Dazhanggui, it would be much easier for Ye Jintang to open shops in various cities.
She would stay in each city for three days at most, or one at the shortest, and she would leave after two days.
Being in such a hurry, there will definitely be many things that are not considered carefully, and you will need help from other people to improve the operation of the store.
"I understand what your majesty means. I will meet with Manager Qiao later to discuss the division of labor between us."
It is definitely not possible for two people to stay in Mucheng at the same time. One of them must go to Wanjincheng tomorrow.
They had to find the shop over there before Ye Jintang went to Wanjin, and they couldn't let Ye Jintang and his group wait for them in Wanjin.
"Okay, tell me what plans you have."
After briefly talking to Bai Ziyao, he went to find the shopkeeper Qiao, leaving only Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo in the room.
"Jintang, why don't we slow down our journey? You can stay in each city for a while longer. When the business at the shop is almost done, we can go to the next city. At worst, we can delay our trip to Ningchuan Prefecture."
Xiao Mo really felt sorry for Ye Jintang for working so hard.
The princesses of other families are only responsible for managing the affairs of the inner house, but his princess is also busy helping him make money. She has endless things to do every day and is really too tiring.
"If we slow down our progress, we may have to wait until March or April next year to reach Lingchuan, and we may miss the spring planting."
"Ningchuan Prefecture has a bad climate and can only grow one crop a year. If we miss the spring planting, it is equivalent to missing the entire year's harvest. Your Majesty, do you think this is worthwhile?"
"We are a little tired on the road now, but after we arrive in Ningchuan Prefecture, we will have nearly two months of rest time. Even if we are tired, we can make up for it, but the time is missed."
Although Xiao Mo didn't want to admit it, what Ye Jintang said did make some sense.
He took the initiative to step forward and gently held her in his arms.
"I will dispatch more people so that you don't have to be so tired."
"We have enough manpower now. The shopkeepers my grandfather sent here are quite capable. With them here, I don't have to exert much effort."
For Ye Jintang, doing business was not a problem at all. She was even eager to try. She was eager to see her business empire established and how much money it could make for her. She wanted to prove once again that she was indeed talented in business.
In her previous life, she was able to build a business empire worth tens of billions. Even if she was reborn in ancient times, she could still become the richest businessman in the Tianqin Kingdom, or the richest princess.
"Your Highness, how is the injury on your shoulder? I'll change the medicine for you."
"It's almost healed. It even feels a little itchy today."
"The healing medicine I made is pretty good."
Ye Jintang stepped forward to help Xiao Mo untie the gauze, and the wound on his shoulder was indeed much better.
