Chapter 34 Donating Ice to the Academy
Because of the heat, people died in Shengjing City.
The government has issued a notice to the people.
Remind people to avoid exposure to the sun at noon and work in the morning and evening to avoid the heat.
People were also sent to pour water on the streets near the imperial city to cool down the heat.
Cheng Shuyi was walking in the alley towards the academy when he encountered a man who looked like a yamen runner splashing water in the alley.
The moat at the end of the alley.
From the moment the sun rises until nightfall, there are people soaking in it.
The two kids have been feeling tired of studying these days because of the heat.
When I got up in the morning, it was already so hot outside that I was sweating.
By the time it takes to eat breakfast, your clothes will be wet.
Cheng Shuyi couldn't bear it when he saw this.
I went to the academy today to donate ice to it.
The shop's new flyers will be delivered to the homes of VIP customers soon. The shop will also sell ice and deliver it to their homes.
Cheng Shuyi's only purpose in living now is to make money!
No one can stop it!
"Master Liu has a noble vision."
Cheng Shuyi entered the academy and went straight to the study of the dean Liu Mingyuan.
Liu Mingyuan was in his eighties, but he was well-read and had been a doctoral student at the Imperial College.
He is a serious and stubborn old man.
In such a hot day, he still wore three layers of formal clothes, and did not use a fan even though the study was as hot as a steamer.
Believe that calmness will naturally bring coolness.
Seeing Cheng Shuyi, Liu Mingyuan looked up and thought, trying to remember who she was.
Cheng Shuyi quickly introduced herself: "I am the mother of Pei Ruqi and Pei Ruxu, students from our outer dormitory. I own a Darun Wanjia store at the entrance of the alley."
There are many students in the academy, and not everyone remembers Liu Mingyuan.
But he knows about RT-Mart!
"It turns out to be Manager Cheng of Darun Wanjia. Please take a seat."
Liu Mingyuan stood up from the desk, sat down at the tea table, and poured Cheng Shuyi a cup of steaming hot tea.
"What brings you here today, Manager Cheng?"
Cheng Shuyi picked up the cup of hot tea and took a symbolic sip.
Then he got straight to the point: "Master Liu lived a life of poverty, with only a simple meal and a gourd of water to drink. He worked tirelessly for his students and wrote endlessly, which was a blessing for scholars all over the world."
"I was moved by this and wanted to do my best to contribute to the academy."
Liu Mingyuan is a man who values reputation very much and has great character.
If Cheng Shuyi had directly said that he wanted to install a freezer in the academy, he would definitely have been pushed back by him with the excuse of "hardening his resolve".
So in order to make him accept it with peace of mind, she specially learned this set of elegant words from Shen Zhou.
"Recently, the weather has been extremely hot and humid. According to government reports, dozens of people have died from the heat in the capital."
Cheng Shuyi was heartbroken and kept shaking his head and sighing.
"It just so happens that the Da Run Wan Jia family bought some ice today. If you don't mind, Master, I would like to donate the ice used this summer to the academy in the name of the Da Run Wan Jia family."
"You want to donate ice?"
Liu Mingyuan didn't expect that she came here for this matter.
Nowadays, ice is a lifesaver!
I can’t buy it even if I want to.
She actually mentioned donating right away?
"Do you know that you really want to donate the teaching buildings and twelve study rooms of Baima Academy?" Liu Mingyuan thought she was joking.
Even the ice cellar in the palace could not store enough ice for her to squander.
But he seemed to have forgotten.
RT-Mart already uses a large amount of ice every day.
Cheng Shuyi nodded with certainty, "Donate."
Liu Mingyuan stood up and paced back and forth.
I stood in front of the window for a while, looking at the bright sun outside.
After a while, he took out some tool and put it in the sun, and the color of the tool changed due to the sun.
Cheng Shuyi looked at it quietly. It seemed to be something to measure temperature.
She also measured today's surface temperature before going out.
The surface temperature is over 70 degrees.
You can fry eggs directly.
Liu Mingyuan tried to convince himself for a long time, but in the end he couldn't stand the heat anymore. "Madam Pei, I'd like to thank you on behalf of all the students in the academy."
Cheng Shuyi immediately stood up and bowed.
"I'll ask a carpenter to come over and build a freezer and lay pipes for the academy."
To do charity and gain fame, starting from the academy is the most direct and fastest way to achieve results.
Cheng Shuyi has asked Lin Yu's family's escort agency to send a batch of grain, salt and sugar to the northern border.
Now he has taken over the academy.
A two-pronged approach of civil and military.
She couldn't wait for her two children to grow up, and didn't know which path they would take, so she paved it all together!

The moment RT-Mart's latest flyer was posted on bulletin boards across Shengjing, it went viral.
It's not just because she's selling more ice during this period of scorching heat.
Also, because of the manuscript that everyone has been looking forward to, the second volume has been updated!
The book section on the second floor of Cheng Shuyi's shop always sells cool books.
You may not hear about these books among the neighbors, but they must be the most popular in the inner house.
These books were too bold and shameful for the ancients.
The overbearing official fell in love with me, and the scholar won the imperial examination and welcomed his beautiful wife.
And the reborn mistress tore apart the concubine and the mistress with her own hands...
Cheng Shuyi is the one who brings together the young ladies who are forced to stay in seclusion, the scholars who dream of winning the first prize and reaching the pinnacle of their lives, and the mistresses who have toiled for half their lives and have to be on guard against concubines taking over their positions.
These people who are rich, have free time and are literate can grasp the situation accurately.
Shengjing City is different from other provincial capitals, as it has the most literate people.
It would be a shame for her if she didn't seize such a big market.
RT-Mart is once again welcoming a surge of customers.
The books on the second floor were sold out immediately, and the store kept restocking them.
Some people even contacted He Guangzhi directly and asked to pre-order the third volume now.
RT-Mart has always been happy to meet customers’ requests.
Now that's better.
Not only will they deliver ice to people's homes, they will also add a service that delivers books to people's homes.
"Boss, I heard that King Yan had a heat stroke today."
If the wealthy and powerful in Qingyun Lane want ice, He Guangzhi has to deliver it personally.
When he passed by Prince Yan's mansion, he heard that Prince Yan had suffered from heatstroke.
It’s not that he has long ears, but that the King of Yan is eager to tell the whole world that he has suffered from heatstroke.
This is the only way to show his dedication.
Taking credit in disguise.
He Guangzhi went to deliver ice, and the store affairs fell on Cheng Shuyi's shoulders.
She spent the whole day in the store.
In the afternoon, Prince Yan brought his men around in front of her shop again, almost entering.
Cheng Shuyi heard it all.
Moreover, it seemed that the Prince of Yan was about to take action against her and force her to donate grain.
"Please pay more attention to the food issues these days. If there are any problems, let them come to me directly." Cheng Shuyi said.
Those minor officials who had come to buy grain before also delivered the grain when they were delivering it to the northern border.
I heard from Shen Zhou that Shen Ting had been promoted because of that batch of grain.
These minor officials who came later have also been highly praised by the emperor in recent days.
However, the King of Yan was unable to raise food and was becoming increasingly anxious.
I'm afraid he will do something next.
Cheng Shuyi needs to be prepared.
