The next morning, not long after Yan Funing arrived at the restaurant in town, Lu Wenfeng also arrived.
"A whole truckload of ice." Lu Wenfeng patted the car compartment. "Isn't it quite large?"
Yan Funing nodded: "It's quite big."
Liu Song came out and asked in surprise, "Has the ice really arrived?"
"This is the restaurant owner, Liu." Yan Funing stood between the two and introduced, "Uncle, this is Mr. Lu."
The two greeted each other.
Lu Wenfeng pinched his fingers towards Yan Funing, indicating that it was time to give her the money.
Yan Funing didn't expect that the young master of the Lu family in the county town was so short of money.
She took out her purse and before taking out the silver, she asked him, "Is the ice clean? I'm going to make some food."
"Clean, clean." Lu Wenfeng opened the car door and pointed at the things inside. "It's wrapped in two layers of quilts, and there's clean oil paper wrapped inside."
Only then did Yan Funing give five taels of silver to Lu Wenfeng.
Lu Wenfeng quickly put it in his pocket.
Zhang Tiezhang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took a glance and both shook their heads.
"Girl, where should we put the ice?" Zhang Tong jumped out of the car first.
Liu Song pointed at Feng, the clerk: "Let's move together. He will lead the way."
When Yan Funing returned to the restaurant yesterday, she found a room in the warehouse, nailed insulating quilts around it, and prepared to place the ice cubes.
One cart of ice cubes was a lot, but there were many employees in the store, so it didn't take long to move all the ice cubes.
That morning, Yan Funing made red bean shaved ice, mung bean shaved ice, and desserts made with taro balls.
Chef Jin watched Yan Funing prepare the whole process, his mouth almost watering. "Young Shopkeeper, I've been cooking for twenty years, and I never knew taro balls could be prepared this way."
Yan Funing packed out bowls of taro balls and red bean paste and said with a smile, "Everyone come and try it. It has crushed ice in it, so don't eat too much at once."
The chefs, cooks, and waiters in the restaurant, including Caiyu and Li Xinheng who followed Yan Funing, had already stopped being polite and reached out to grab their favorite iced desserts.
Lu Wenfeng and Zhang Tiezhang stood at the end of the crowd, both craning their necks.
Zhang Tong shamelessly asked, "Girl, can we eat it?"
"Sure, come and get it."
"Hey, okay!"
Zhang Tiezhang squeezed past.
The two men were both very burly, and Lu Wenfeng looked like a little duckling among them, with his neck stretched out very long.
He tried hard to get over, but Zhang Tiezhangtong pushed him behind.
"Miss Yan." Lu Wenfeng raised his hand, "I want to eat too."
Yan Funing couldn't help laughing and ordered Li Xinheng to help Lu Wenfeng get a bowl of taro balls and red bean paste.
Finally having a taste of the cool dessert, Lu Wenfeng gave a thumbs up: "It tastes better than what we make at home."
She had just taken a basin-sized amount of ice to make dessert, and now she had some left over. Since it had all been crushed into small pieces, Yan Funing used the remaining crushed ice to chill the watermelon.
Liu Song, his mouth full, walked over to the busy Yan Funing and said, "Girl, you can try selling these desserts today."
"Uncle, we can sell the desserts once the price is set." Yan Funing thought for a moment and then said, "Mung bean soup and watermelon as after-meal fruit are already available. Starting today, the restaurant will offer iced watermelon and mung bean soup. We won't raise the price. Uncle, what do you think?"
"Okay, listen to my daughter."

Lu Wenfeng enjoyed his meal and was thinking about Yan Funing inviting him to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
However, the morning was quite long, so after staying in the restaurant for a while, he went to Qingshan Academy to look for Fu Ciyi.
When he arrived at the classroom, Fu Ciyi was teaching students.
Seeing him coming, Fu Ciyi pointed to the large study at the end of the corridor of the teaching building.
Lu Wenfeng went over and found some books for the undergraduate examination.
Soon, the class ended and Fu Ciyi went to the study.
"Your wife is really smart."
Lu Wenfeng praised Yan Funing as soon as he opened his mouth, which surprised Fu Ciyi.
"She can use simple ingredients to make delicious desserts, and the taste is truly amazing. Brother Ci Yi, do you want to try it?"
"No time."
"How can I not have time? We have to eat, so let's go to the restaurant. I want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at noon. Your wife is treating us, so come along."
"No."
"Your wife is treating you, why don't you go?"
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "I really can't leave."
At noon, Lu Wenfeng said goodbye to Fu Ciyi and went to the restaurant.
The food and wine were served on the table. Lu Wenfeng sniffed the aroma and said to Yan Funing, "I'll ask Brother Ci Yi to come along. If he doesn't come, I'll have a feast today."
Yan Funing said casually: "As you said before, he has a lot of face."
Lu Wenfeng didn't react for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Yan Funing smiled lightly: "It doesn't mean anything, it just means what it says."
Even when asked for help, he wouldn't help.
Now that the ice cube business is successful, he naturally won’t come to eat.
There's no reason to come.
Glancing at Zhang Tiezhang and Tong, who were both drooling, she added, "You can't finish all these dishes by yourself. They..."
Lu Wenfeng turned around and looked at the two burly men following behind him, and said unhappily, "Since Miss Yan said so, you two should all sit down."
The two of them hurriedly thanked Yan Funing.
Yan Funing nodded and said to Lu Wenfeng, "A truckload of ice can probably last for seven or eight days. How about you deliver it every once in a while?"
Lu Wenfeng agreed: "Okay, next time I'll come on the tenth."

In early July, tourism business stopped and people had poor appetite, so the business of restaurants and hotels in Qingshan Town was average.
Only Liuji Restaurant continues to innovate.
Even the ordinary mung bean soup and watermelon are chilled.
Not only that, there are also desserts that women love to eat and cold snacks that men like to eat.
It can be said that the business has achieved great results during the off-season.
Business was good, and Liu Song felt sorry for Yan Funing because she had been busy for a long time, so he asked her to rest at home for a few more days.
Yan Funing couldn't sit still. Thinking of the bumper harvest of vegetables at home, she went to the fields to pick vegetables herself.
I picked a lot of edamame, long beans, and gourds and put them in the basket, which was full.
It is fresh and green, which makes people happy at the first sight.
The master and servant walked towards home.
Unexpectedly, as she passed under the willow tree, something seemed to fall on her hairline. The coolness of it startled Yan Funing.
He lowered his head, hoping to get the thing off his head, but it was no use.
"Caiyu, can you help me take a look? What's that on my head?"
"Don't move, young lady." Caiyu broke off a thin branch and used it to remove the insect. "It's a bug with thorns on its back. If you get pricked by such thorns, your skin will definitely swell up."
Yan Funing didn't dare to move: "Is it a caterpillar?"
"yes."
A caterpillar fell on her head, and Yan Funing was so scared that her face turned pale and she held Caiyu's arm tightly.
She was afraid that the bugs would crawl onto her face and bite it until it was swollen.
However, the insect's legs were like suction cups, and Caiyu couldn't move it away with the thin branches she used.
She felt a bug crawling towards her forehead. The cold touch frightened Yan Funing so much that she dared not breathe. She whispered, "Caiyu, hurry up. I'm scared."
Caiyu suddenly had an idea and broke off two slightly thicker sticks from the bushes. She used them like chopsticks and finally picked up the caterpillar and threw it on the ground.
