Additionally, the cheese fermentation at three locations was overseen by Zhang Baokui, with several of his apprentices stationed at each site to manage the operations. As fermentation is a crucial process, Zhang Baokui needed to travel between the three sites to inspect and supervise the work, bearing a significant burden with a highly respected position.
Today, the dairy workshop has developed three main varieties of cheese, each with its distinct flavor. Most of the cheese is sent to the capital, with a small amount also sold in Yuyuan Prefecture and a few other prosperous cities along the way. Due to the limited production of cheese and its high-end marketing strategy, cheese has become an extremely luxurious ingredient that only the wealthiest can afford, resulting in substantial profits.
