Actually, it wasn’t just the shop owners who were waiting anxiously. She was also a little anxious.
Ever since the Nangong Army returned, she had been spending money nonstop.
The food and drinks, the seedlings in the manors, the construction, and the investment of livestock had almost emptied her family’s fortune.
If it weren’t for the two eateries in Qingshi Town, the braised meat, and the bacon and sausage workshop, she would have run out of money.
However, she should be able to make it through the tough days soon.
Once the chilies were produced, the chain stores could open for business.
At that time, her chain stores and workshops would be profitable.
In addition, the chili workshop started working at the same time, and the spicy cabbage, bean paste, and chili sauce were produced at the same time. Her current predicament of not being able to make ends meet should be alleviated soon.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart relaxed a little, and she couldn’t help but smile.
“That’s good! I’m currently idle in the residence every day. Other than drinking tea and playing cards, I have no other pastime.”
“When the chain store opens, i can also get busy.”
“And…” Princess Anyang looked at Lin Xiaoyue playfully.
“His Highness and I miss the spicy skewers. And that braised pork!”
At this point, Princess Anyang’s eyes lit up.
“I heard from Liang Yu that you’ve already agreed to provide braised meat, sausages, and bacon exclusively for the Liang Corporation’s restaurants?”
The delicious food in the Liu family was not only spicy skewers, but also braised meat, sausages, and cured meat!
Ever since Ms. Lin supplied them to the Liang Corporation, the Imperial Residence had also received some. They did not lack it at the moment.
However, braised meat didn’t have a long shelf life.
Even she and His Highness could only occasionally ask Ruyi Restaurant in Qingshi Town to send some over. They couldn’t eat it every day.
However, things would be different when Liu’s Express in Nan’an County opened.
At that time, the eatery would not only prepare spicy skewers and other snacks for the fast food chain stores in Nan’an County, but also braised meat for the Liang Corporation’s restaurants.
It would be much easier for them to eat braised meat again.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile.
“As the shelf life of the braised meat is not long enough, we arranged for it to be made in the eateries.”
“As for the bacon and sausages…”
“At present, the workers are not skilled enough. In addition, the Liang Corporation has just opened up the market.”
Actually, it was because she really did not have much money on hand, which limited the production of the bacon and sausage workshop.
After all, the Liang Corporation would only pay her when they picked up the goods.
She had to bear the cost of purchasing the pork in the early stages, and after the cured meat was made, it would take at least ten days to be delivered.
In other words, she had at least ten days’ worth of stock in her hands.
If they rashly increased production, they would need even more capital.
Furthermore, the number of live pigs in Qingshi Town was limited.
Even if she wanted to increase the investment in the bacon and sausage factory, it would not be so easy when it was getting harder to buy pigs.
Fortunately, Li Xiao had already found someone to help. He had contacted several pig farmers in Taohua Town and ordered a few batches of pigs.
Now, her bacon and sausage workshop could operate normally.
However, this was not a long-term solution.
In the future, the bacon workshop would have to rely on themselves to solve the problem of the pig supply.
Each of the twelve manors had to keep pigs.
Also, she had to contact some pig farms outside for long-term cooperation.
Only in this way could the sausage and bacon workshop maintain a steady supply.
“Then we have to hurry up and train the workers. Liang Yu mentioned to us before that the dishes made with sausage and bacon are very popular in various restaurants.”
“It’s only because the quantity is too small that we can’t let all the restaurants in the Liang Corporation serve these dishes.” Princess Anyang said.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“If that’s the case, we really have to hurry up and increase our production.” She replied.
Was the response from the Liang Corporation good?
Liang Yu had never revealed this information to her. He didn’t mention asking her to place an additional order.
Of course, she hadn’t completed his first order yet.
However, if Liang Yu placed another order, she could ask him for a deposit.
In addition, she might be able to contact Zhou Shi and distribute some sausages and bacon.
After all, she was afraid that all the eggs in one basket would break.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue’s gaze towards Princess Anyang became even more amiable.
Luckily, Young Master Liang’s sister reminded her.
At this moment, Liang Yu, who was still busy in the Liang Residence, sneezed.
He thought he might have caught a cold..
