I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 554 Milk Powder
Li Tian took advantage of the opportunity that the queen and the maids were intoxicated, and quietly pulled Zhang Qinghuan aside and said,
"Qing Huan, you just saw the milk tea making process clearly!"

Zhang Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Li Tian meant, but he still nodded and said,

"The process is very simple, Qing Huan saw it very clearly!"

Li Tian smiled,
"That's good!

You have also seen that the empress and the others like this thing very much, presumably the girls outside the palace will also like it, why don't you put this thing in your shop and sell it, maybe you can make a lot of money . "

Zhang Qinghuan frowned slightly and said,

"Milk tea is certainly a good thing, and it is very likely to be liked by them, but this thing is a hot drink, and the taste is the best when it is freshly brewed. I am afraid it will be difficult to scale up!"

Li Tian thinks about it too, the place where the teahouse is located is a place where businessmen are more concentrated, and there are very few women.

Moreover, in this era, women seldom go to teahouses to drink tea. It is estimated that it will be difficult to form a scale if they want to sell it in the previous way.

However, Li Tian is not helpless. Later generations will just make milk tea into powder, and rinse it with boiling water when needed.

He can also draw a ladle according to the gourd.

So he said to Zhang Qinghuan,

"This point is actually very easy to solve. We only need to make the selling tea into a powder that can be carried easily, and we can easily solve this problem."

"Make it into powder?" Zhang Qinghuan asked puzzled.

"That's right, milk can actually be made into milk powder by drying and drying. At that time, we only need to dry the prepared milk tea and sell it."

Zhang Qinghuan had never seen milk powder before, and there was no prototype in his mind. For a while, he couldn't understand what powder Li Tian was talking about.

In fact, making milk powder is not that difficult.

It's just that the craftsmanship of this era cannot be as convenient, quick and hygienic as later generations.

Just lightly distill the milk to increase its concentration to form condensed milk, which is then spread onto a round heated roller.

Let the condensed milk form a thin layer of milk film on the drum, and finally dehydrate and dry this milk film to get the most original milk powder.

In fact, as early as Genghis Khan's expedition to Europe, the Mongols had already mastered the method of making mare's milk into portable milk powder.

However, with the end of the war, this relatively extravagant way gradually disappeared and was not recorded by later generations.

It was not until [-] that a farmer in France developed a simple method of making milk powder.

Compared with milk, although milk powder may lose part of its nutrition, it has the advantages of longer storage time and more convenient portability.

Regardless of whether it is this era or future generations, the shelf life of milk is rarely longer than one month.

If the season of milk production is missed in a year, there are very few dairy products in other seasons.

This will cause a problem. If a child is born in winter and other seasons when there is no milk, and it happens that his mother has no milk or the mother is not around, the child will not be able to eat milk.

If you want to feed your children, you can only feed them rice porridge and other relatively low-nutritional things.It is conceivable that a child who is only a month or a few months old begins to eat porridge to get by.

It will definitely have a great impact on the child's growth.

Therefore, the development of milk powder that is convenient to store and carry can not only solve the problem of milk tea sales, but also provide a way for children who cannot eat breast milk to grow up healthily.

Jumping from milk tea to the method of making milk powder, Li Tian was in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses and said to Zhang Qinghuan,
"The production of milk powder will be handed over to the Tiangong Institute. If you have the idea of ​​selling milk tea, you should be ready after you go back and study how to make more people drink milk tea!"

Zhang Qinghuan didn't know what she thought of, her pretty face blushed, and she pointed to the queen quietly,
"Your Majesty, if Qing Huan sells milk tea directly, will the empress be unhappy!"

Li Tian smiled lightly,
"What's the matter, don't look at what the queen likes now, maybe you will get tired of it in two days, as long as you can research more flavored milk tea.

Not only will the Queen not have any dissatisfaction with you, she may even support you in opening more stores. "

At this time, the queen seemed to have noticed the whispering between the two of them here, walked over curiously, pretended to be unhappy and said,

"Your Majesty, what are you whispering to Sister Qing Huan, why don't you bring a concubine with you?"

Zhang Qinghuan is also a sincere person, and quickly bowed to the queen and said,

"Your Majesty and Qing Huan said that milk tea is a good thing for the benefit of the world, and more people should taste it! So Your Majesty plans to let Qing Huan sell milk tea in the capital!"

Seeing the queen was stunned for a moment, Li Tian thought she would be angry, but just about to explain, who knew the queen laughed and said,

"This is a good thing. If such a good thing can really be enjoyed by the people in the palace, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Qing Huan, you can do it boldly. My sister supports you. If you don't have enough money, you can directly Tell my sister, she will help you!"

Zhang Qinghuan didn't expect the queen to be so generous, so she hurriedly blushed and said,
"Thank you sister for your kindness. It's not too much trouble to open a milk tea shop. Qing Huan can handle it. Now the teahouse has a hundred and ten taels of silver in the account every day. Qing Huan is worried about how to use the money."

After managing the workshop for several months, the queen is also very interested in doing business to make money.

After hearing about making money, he immediately forgot about fighting for the remaining milk tea with the court lady, and pulled Zhang Qinghuan to talk enthusiastically.

"My sister thinks that this milk tea is naturally prepared for us women, and I guess those stinky men won't like it, so my sister suggests that you open a shop specially for women... It's better to be on the street and not too big..."

I don't know what stimulated the queen to be so enthusiastic about doing business, and she talked to Zhang Qinghuan a lot of her own opinions.

Li Tian, ​​the 'inventor' of milk tea, was directly thrown aside.

But Li Tian didn't care about anything when he saw the two of them chatting so speculatively and happily.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, as long as the family is in harmony, it is better than anything else.

Zhang Qinghuan's personality is not dull, and she is not very interested in making money, but she still listens very seriously to the Queen's advice.

In Li Tian's view, although the queen's business opinions still have many flaws, they are also very in line with the vision of women in this era. Some ingenious opinions are very interesting in Li Tian's view.
