This fell under the category of exclusive and confidential manuals, not to be easily shared.

Both of them held a great interest in the local fruits that could be grown, particularly lychees, longan fruits, and the like. As long as they could be planted and casually savored, they were content.

Xie Jingrong mentioned to Qiao Xuan, “By the way, my servant obtained some seedlings recently. They say the fruits are both sour and sweet, and they’re not available anywhere else. I wonder what they are. Would you like some tomorrow?”

Qiao Xuan’s curiosity piqued, and she happily nodded. “Of course, I want to taste all the fresh fruits I’ve never encountered before!”

Xie Jingrong nodded in agreement.

Once the suburban fields were secured, Qiao Xuan wouldn’t need to worry about anything else.

There was an ample supply of ca.s.sava powder and creeping figs. Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong always managed to acquire various fresh fruits and milk. Nearly ten dessert shops were flourishing and running smoothly.

Yuezheng Xiao initially believed it was just a small venture with limited earning potential, but he was in for a surprise at the end of the month.

During the peak season, the monthly profits of the shops exceeded 50,000 liang. That meant they would earn at least 400,000 liang in a year.

He and Qiao Xuan each received 40% of the total income, amounting to over 150,000 liang, while Xie Jingrong received 20%, roughly 70,000 to 80,000 liang.

The primary reason was that the raw materials didn’t account for a significant portion of the costs, and not everyone possessed the skill to create these delicacies. Since they were the sole proprietors without any other branches, they reaped the profits.

It was a shame that obtaining milk wasn’t easy. To acquire milk, they would need to establish a dairy farm. However, various sugary desserts relied on milk, as it enhanced the flavor.

Otherwise, Yuezheng Xiao would have considered opening a branch in another city.

Even so, the Xie Family had expanded their ranch and were actively discussing the possibility of opening two or three shops in a bustling city that could be reached within a day!

Yuezheng Xiao contemplated the idea of running to the south in the future to establish a ranch or open a shop elsewhere.

This business was remarkably lucrative and required low investment. It would be foolish not to pursue it!

Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong stayed for lunch and bid their farewells in the afternoon.

As evening approached, Yuezheng Xiao arrived to deliver money to Qiao Xuan.

Payments for tea leaves, lipsticks, silver fungus, and sugar water shops were still pending. However, every time she acquired goods from the first section of the Shaoding Village family, she would leave a written note and take as many items as possible, duly signed and acknowledged by the Shao Family.

The actual value of these goods remained unknown to the first section of the Shao Family.

The amount of money involved was substantial, prompting Yuezheng Xiao to keep it a secret from the rest of the family.

Coming from a merchant family, he had been involved with money from a young age. He had witnessed how wealth could influence people’s intentions and desires. He understood the allure of riches better than most.

A sum of 100 or even 1,000 liang might not be significant, but 10,000 liang would likely test one’s limits. And what about 70,000 to 80,000 liang or even more than 100,000 liang? How many individuals could resist the temptation?

Yuezheng Xiao was surprised that no one, not even Ms. Fang, had ever inquired about it.

Everyone seemed to accept it as a matter of course.

Yuezheng Xiao had pondered over how to respond to their questions, but none of his ideas proved useful.
