Chapter 379: Iced and refreshing

Xie Yulin had no money anyway, so when asked urgently he just said "sell the house".

Ge Chunyu has been bringing things into his home all his life. When would he be willing to give them away?

Of course she didn't want to.

But now she can't delay any longer. She hasn't paid off her mortgage for last month, and the bank has already called her...

She didn't give up and cried, "Dad, I'm really in trouble now, can't you help me?"

This method was the most effective in the past. As long as she started crying, her parents couldn't stand it anymore, and her father could only acquiesce.

But now, grandpa was unmoved: "Is your difficulty greater than mine?"

"I only have one house left, and you all told me to sell it for retirement. You have three houses, why can't you sell one?"

Ge Chunyu: ...

Not to mention that Ge Chunyu went back to arrange the sale of the house, Lu Qianhua seemed to have unloaded half of his burden.

He was afraid that Ge Chunyu, an unreasonable person, would pay back the old man's share of the money, and he would only owe Xiao Yingchun's money.

Lu Qianhua became more motivated to work because of this. Not only did he take the initiative to do more work on packing and shipping, he also learned very seriously how to care for and iron the fabrics.

I wish I could devote my entire life to the company.

Liu Weiwei, who was in charge of sorting and ironing clothes, saw this and was somewhat tempted.

Lu Qianhua is so motivated, filial, responsible, and grateful to his boss... he has a bright future!

She became more and more enthusiastic about Lu Qianhua.

But Lu Qianhua was now so focused on paying back the money and repaying his gratitude that he had no idea...

Fu Zhonghai set up a trap and wiped out the garrison, and also wiped out the rebels who were implicated.

After cleaning up a group of people, Fu Zhonghai no longer expected to completely clean it up, so he stopped.

He arranged for Ao Guangchun, who had grown a lot, to succeed the Marshal of the Ao Family Army, and he took Niu Shiniang and Zhan Yunfu back to Beijing.

Zhan Yunfu felt a little uneasy when she thought about going back with Fu Zhonghai.

"Chun'er hasn't grown up yet. How about I stay here and take care of him for another two years?"

Fu Zhonghai did not allow any arguments: "If you don't go back, who will take care of Niu Shiniang's body?"

"She has no mother of her own, and you, her mother-in-law, are not around..."

"Besides, the young eagle will only grow fastest if it flies on its own."

"You watch over him every day. When will he grow up?"

Zhan Yunfu surrendered in a second: "Stop talking, I'll go back with you."

Yes, Niu Shiniang is pregnant.

Perhaps because he is about to become a father, Ao Guangchun has been working extra hard recently, and is also particularly humble and eager to learn.

The veterans of the Ao family army saw this and felt relieved.

They are not afraid of people who don't know how to do something, but they are afraid of people who are lazy.

As long as Ao Guangchun is willing to learn, they will naturally teach him everything they know.

——It feels like taking care of a son.

Fu Zhonghai is coming back, and Fu Chenan is so happy that he wants to take off.

His miserable career as regent was finally coming to an end, and he finally had time to spend with his Crown Princess.

There was an ice jar in the East Palace, which was quite cool, but Xiao Yingchun was still sweating from the heat.

Fu Chenan felt distressed when he saw this, so he reached out to wipe the sweat off her face and handed her a cup of milk with ice cubes in it.

"If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you go to Wolong Villa first?"

Wolong Villa has air conditioning, so it can be as cold as you want.

Xiao Yingchun thought of something else: "Didn't Jeff say before that he could make ice? Should he find someone to make ice?"

It just so happens that the weather is hot right now, and the fruits in the fruit shops are difficult to preserve. If they are not sold out on the same day, a lot of them will go bad after a day.

The daily losses are extremely large.

Ice was expensive before, and the cost of buying iced fruit was also very high...

Fu Chenan made arrangements immediately.

Jeff received the news quickly.

Making ice was too easy for someone who studied chemistry. He immediately asked someone to send him purified saltpeter and an apprentice.

The apprentice was very young, and looked terrified.

"The master has taught me how to make ice. I will demonstrate it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess..."

He first asked someone to bring a large basin, and then placed a small basin in the middle.

Put water in the large basin, put water in the small basin, and then put the purified saltpeter into the large basin.

A magical scene appeared: as the saltpeter dissolved, the water in the small basin quickly froze!

Fu Chenan and several guards were stunned!

Xiao Yingchun laughed as he watched: Have you learned something new?

This is the charm of science.

The apprentice felt more at ease after seeing his success and continued to explain.

"The saltpeter in the large basin can be taken out and used again."

In this way, a steady supply of ice can be produced.

Xiao Yingchun suggested to Fu Chenan: "You can consider having someone open a dessert shop on a state-owned street, specializing in selling ice bowls."

Various sweet soups with ice cubes are perfect for cooling off and quenching thirst.

It’s just because ice is expensive in summer, this kind of dessert with ice is too expensive, so many people can’t afford to drink it.

But with the method provided by Jeff, the cost of iced desserts was directly reduced...

At the beginning, the people had a fixed mindset: all Western goods sold in state-owned stores must be very expensive.

But as the dessert shop opened, people were shocked!

What?

A bowl of mung bean ice this big only costs twenty cents?

Wait, these pieces of fruit on top, are they the precious fruits sold in the fruit shop next door?

How much is this fruit bowl?

"One tael of silver per serving?"

“So cheap?”

The people were shocked!

For a while, the dessert shop was crowded with people!

Rich people eat fruit bowls - refreshing and refreshing.

Those who have no money can eat mung bean bowl - mung bean soup.

The waiter asked swiftly while pretending: "You want everything, right? Is there anything you cannot eat?"

The other party said "I want both", and the waiter added them one by one.

Mung bean paste, red bean paste, sago, coix seeds, taro balls...

Put a few pieces of fruit on top and a spoonful of sugar water with sorbet...

The color and taste are very tempting at first glance!

On the first day of business, Cui Chaoyong received the following report: The shop is too small to be maneuvered...

Cui Chaoyong was stunned for a moment, then went to see for himself and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

The shop was packed with people...

There was a long queue outside the shop.

He thought for a moment and pointed to a three-story building next to him: "Use this building first and allocate manpower to ensure sufficient supply."

The people below were a little worried: "The ice bowl business is naturally good in the summer, but what if there is no business in the winter?"

Cui Chaoyong glanced down at him and said, "Your idea is good, but the higher-ups have their own arrangements."

When the people below heard this, they immediately went to make arrangements.

The people and things were easily arranged, but on the second day, the three-story wooden building that was originally intended to be a restaurant became a qingbuliang dessert store.

All three floors were packed and the shop assistants were busy as hell.

It’s true that although the price of this snack may seem low, the large flow of people brings in a profit of over ten thousand taels a day.

People in the Ministry of Revenue are already used to it.

Just tens of thousands of taels.

That's normal.

Except for the coal briquette shop which does not have much profit for the time being, which of the other state-owned shops is not making a fortune every day?

Amidst such excitement, Fu Zhonghai's procession arrived outside the city.

Zhan Yunfu heard people talking about the dessert shops in the capital on the road, and she was very curious.

"You mean, that three-story restaurant was put to use? As a dessert shop?"

Fu Zhonghai immediately said, "You want to eat? I'll go with you?"

Zhan Yunfu rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you go, you have to clear the area. Why disturb the people?"

"It also delays the court from making money."

Fu Zhonghai: …

Zhan Yunfu: "Wait until I get home, I'll go alone, and no one will be disturbed."

Fu Zhonghai: …
