Chi Qiao had just sat down in the carriage and hadn't even had a chance to see what was inside yet, but she felt it was quite cool.

Hearing her sister's words, and following the direction of her finger, she saw a basin of ice that was half melted in the corner.

She reacted quickly and replied immediately:

"Since we can't sell ice, let's try something else."

However, right now, we need to think carefully about what exactly to do.

In April, it's not yet time for water shortages.

Selling water is clearly not a realistic option for them.

Or, we could sell chilled mung bean soup or mint tea in the evening?

Although the profit margin is small, there are almost no costs involved, and the local bullies won't care about such meager profits.

Thinking this, Chi Qiao said, "Xiao Yu, let's see how things go when we get to the prefectural city."

I think it would be good to go back to selling chilled mung bean soup or mint tea.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu hurriedly whispered, "Sister, will this work?"

It's so hot outside, even if the food is chilled, it won't be cold for long after you take it out.

Chi Qiao said with great certainty, "It can work. Let's observe the situation first."

If there are many people entering and leaving the city, we'll set up our stall at the city gate.

Imagine, traveling thousands of miles to the city, you must have been thirsty and hungry along the way.

On such a hot day, how refreshing would it be to have a cup of herbal tea?

We'll sell each bowl for one coin; we'll just sell mint tea, there's hardly any cost.

For us, the cost of mung bean soup is relatively high.

And then sell some pancakes? These days, food is precious.

We bought a lot of whole grains before, so we'll use them to make dishes later.

I think it should be fine to sell a piece of cake for two coins.

The carriage turned around and stopped inside the city gate, and then we set up a stall outside the city.

Once the goods are sold out, they are exchanged back inside the carriage, and others simply assume that the items are left inside the carriage.

However, since we're going to do this, we should let Amu know first.

I think he must have connections in this prefectural city.

That way, those thugs won't come looking for trouble!

Chi Yu thought about it and agreed, but it was a bit troublesome and really was hard-earned money.

"Sister, it's hot outside, and people usually don't have much of an appetite."

I might not be able to stomach a pancake.

"How about we sell some cold noodles or cold rice noodles?"

Chi Qiao pondered for a moment, then said, "At this critical juncture, we should save as much money as possible."

Cold noodles and cold rice noodles are definitely more expensive than flatbread, so ordinary people might not necessarily eat them.

Chi Yu disagreed, saying, "Sister, that's the prefectural city after all, and the people there are generally more prosperous than those in our Anping County."

As long as we accurately target our customers, we won't have to worry about not being able to sell our products.

Herbal tea doesn't necessarily have to be sold near the city gate.

Let's do some research first to find out where people have the spending power and are willing to spend money on food.

It's too hot during the day, so we start setting up our stall in the evening.

"Besides selling herbal tea, cold noodles, and cold rice noodles, I think we could also sell barbecue or spicy hot pot at the same time."

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao thought it might be a good idea.

Seeing her like this, Chi Yu knew she was smitten, so he tugged at the carriage curtain again.

After confirming that there was no possibility of anyone watching from the outside, he led his people into the space and continued:

"Sister, there's plenty of meat and vegetables in our space."

Then there was bamboo, so I asked my second and third brothers to make bamboo skewers when they had some free time.
