He casually picked up two toffees from the octagonal box placed on the Kang table. Sun Miaoqing spread the toffee on the palm of her hand and asked Linglan and Liuli,
"Look at what I have in my hand."
Although Linglan didn't understand why Sun Miaoqing asked knowingly, she still said, "Toffee."
Sun Miaoqing looked at Liuli, who thought for a while and said, "That's not right."
"Your Majesty just quietly told us that these are the toffee that the emperor likes to eat."
Sun Miaoqing smiled. Children can be taught, and Liuli still has some talent.
"Yes, but not entirely!"
Sun Miaoqing said, "This toffee is not made from ordinary milk, but mixed with milk specially provided by the royal family."
“Not only that, the cows that produce milk are not selected from tens of millions of cows in the Mongolian steppes thousands of miles away.”
"It's the special cow specially bred by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the royal family."
"In addition to feeding them grass and grain, musicians will be arranged to play the piano to the cows every day, and workers will massage the cows so that they can produce the best quality milk."
"And with such good milk, you can make a candy in just one bowl."
"There are also strict standards for these preserved fruits, from hanging them to making them into preserves. Insects on the trees are caught by people using ladders every day."
"Eating this can not only relieve qi and replenish qi, moisturize dryness and promote body fluids. It can also warm and nourish the blood, nourish the five internal organs, and fill the body's deficiencies."
"The emperor agreed to eat it!"
"What we sell is not milk candy, but health. Ten taels of silver can not only buy the same style as the royal family, but also buy health."
"Is it expensive? How expensive is it! This is obviously a cabbage price, isn't it?"
These words were so exciting that Linglan and Liuli were stunned for a moment.
"So, ten taels of silver is indeed not expensive."
Suzuran said hesitantly, "But the milk we use is ordinary yellow milk and buffalo milk. It's not shipped from Mongolia."
"And what we are doing now is all collected from the Zhuangzi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the villages on the outskirts of Beijing. How can there be such a thing as playing the piano against a cow?"
Sun Miaoqing said, "Haven't the bullpens been set up? Arrange a few musicians to play for an hour every day."
"I'll buy a few more breeding cattle from Inner Mongolia, but don't rush this, just take your time."
Linglan and Liuli nodded, and they would do whatever the empress said. Spread the word of the empress, and someone will naturally take care of it.
Sun Miaoqing stuffed the candy in her mouth, and suddenly thought of her uncle Zhang, who had made great efforts in this matter.
Not only did he contribute to Zhuangzi, but he was also very busy, contributing people and efforts.
Part of it is naturally because of his love for her, so he is so dedicated. Another part is because she was favored in the palace.
Favor cannot be taken blindly, it must be maintained by both parties, and Sun Miaoqing cannot let his own people suffer.
If he loses in the end, it might be better. The money is nothing to the Zhang family.
But if the money is made every day, the Zhang family will not get any benefits. Over time, dissatisfaction will inevitably arise.
I previously offered them 30% of the shares, but my uncle refused to take it. He said he was helping his niece, so there was no reason to charge him money.
The Zhang family may have thought that this business would not last long, but Sun Miaoqing knew that they would definitely make money.
Xiang Xiangxiang said, "My uncle and aunt are very helpful in the toffee business. I said before that my uncle and aunt would not accept 30% of the shares."
"I know you feel sorry for me, but if you don't accept it at all and use your uncle's farm to raise cattle, I don't feel comfortable."
"Since my uncle and aunt think that 30% is too much, then 20% is enough. Tell them to accept it and never refuse again."
Suzuran replied, "Yes, I have all remembered it."
In the following days, Sun Miaoqing was busy with the opening of the shop.
Let Linglan and Grandma Li take Hongzhou to the Yangxin Hall to check in every day, so that Big Fat Orange can feel the joy of children and grandchildren.
She put all her thoughts into her career, and Big Fat Orange refused to let her give the toffee to everyone in the court.
She had no choice but to work hard, go through the concubines' channels, and give a copy to the concubines' family members, making the palace more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Finally, on February 2, the day when the dragon raised its head, Sun Miaoqing's toffee shop finally opened for business.
