Lin Jinyue was really worried that someone as petty as Xie Hong would come to her door.
However, Xie Hong could not send troops to attack them directly.
Gu Shao is still here.
Gu Shao was a very upright person and would never allow soldiers to oppress the people.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "Today we have a new twist. Buy an iced drink and get an octopus ball for free. If you spend more than 300 Wen, you can get an iced drink for free."
There was no such promotional method in ancient times.
Many people came here just out of curiosity and were not too interested in the ice drink.
You said this sweet soup wouldn't cost much if you bought it outside, why does one cup cost twenty cents here?
There is also some kind of smoothie, I don’t know what it is, but it costs thirty cents.
Most people are still reluctant to give up.
When I bought the food, someone told me not to eat ice cream in the morning and try not to eat it with spicy food, otherwise I would catch a cold.
This immediately caused many people who did not have much money on hand to back out.
But, I heard that if you buy an ice drink, you will get a free octopus ball, and if you buy something worth three hundred yuan, you will also get a free ice drink, so those families who come here together can't help but buy more.
As for what Xie Hong had just said about fat, everyone had forgotten about it.

At night, when Lin Jinyue was working on the farm in the space, she realized that her father was still very worried about what happened in the shop that day.
She heard from Tong that her father was very worried, so she sneaked over to listen.
I actually heard her father ask her brother: "Xueqing, didn't you stay in the army for so long before? Can you see if you can make a simple musket or explosives? I'm really worried."
"Tell me, is there any way that a few dozen people from our village can defeat that army of thousands?"
Lin Xueqing pondered for a moment and was actually thinking about these possibilities.
After a while, he said, "I think it might be easier to dream."
With his serious expression, Lin Jinyue burst out laughing. Why is her brother so funny?
Lin Jinyue was also a little worried, and thought, why not see if there is any way to make a deal with Gu Shao and let him find a way to get Xie Hong back to the capital.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about making simple gunpowder.
She could do it, but Lin Jinyue was afraid that after she succeeded and beat Xie Hong, Prince Jing, Prince Ning, and the people in the capital would all know that there was such a scourge as her.
I'm afraid we should work together to get rid of her first before considering dividing the spoils?
Lin Jinyue doesn't have much money to invest in the military now, so she should find a way to get rid of Xie Hong and his men first.
But she still comforted her father and brother: "Don't worry, without the help, Xie Hong can only do some small tricks secretly. Gu Shao is suppressing him, so he dare not do anything reckless."
However, she was still worried that Xie Hong would cause trouble, and wondered whether she should hand over the chain steel technology to Gu Shao?
No, it's too risky.
Forget it and think about it later.
But what she didn't expect was that early the next morning, Gu Shao came again with mutton and pork.
Said he wanted to eat barbecue.
However, when Gu Shao arrived, Old Tan hid back in the house, and Lin Jinyue no longer had to be forced by him to practice calligraphy.
It seems that she still needs to ask what the relationship between Mr. Tan and Gu Shao is.
Otherwise I always feel uneasy.
Gu Shao smiled and said to Lin Jinyue: "I transferred Xie Hong to Yunsong County."
Yunsong County is quite far from here.
Lin Jinyue said to him: "Thank you, General Gu."
Gu Shao waved his hand: "No, I owed you a favor last time, but Xie Hong got there first, so I'll make it up to you this time."
Lin Jinyue smiled with her eyebrows curved.
She was really happy because she didn't have to think of another way to trade with Gu Shao.
After all, she took out too many things, and they were too novel, which would attract attention.
Moreover, Gu Shao is a nice guy and he never comes empty-handed.

Lin Jinyue has had nothing to do these days, but she is very busy in the shop.
I don’t know why, but even though it’s already autumn, Lingnan is still terribly hot. The temperature is already over 30 degrees.
In fact, short sleeves are fine.
But this is ancient times, and we have to wear long sleeves.
Lin Jinyue was feeling so hot that she lay on the balcony to enjoy the breeze. Her father avoided Jiang Yun and secretly gave her a chilled coconut.
Jiang Yun was afraid that eating too much ice would be bad for her health, so she would not let her eat too much cold food.
But this weather is really hot.
Lin Jinyue was still thinking, why not just make short sleeves...
The weather has been extremely hot these days, and her ice cream shop business has been getting better and better.
Lin Jinyue had some rare free time, so she went to the shop.
The people working in the shop were so busy that they were almost overwhelmed.
She thought iced drinks weren't very profitable.
Lin Jinyue also met Dongyang in the shop.
Dongyang was surprised: "How do you make this smoothie?"
Lin Jinyue smiled and said nothing.
Dongyang didn't care, so he said, "The taste of mango shaved ice is really good, but why is your family limiting the supply? The young master said that mango shaved ice tastes the best, it's soft and mellow, and has a long aftertaste. It's sour and sweet, and it's very good."
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "We can't do anything about it. We can only make so many iced drinks every day, and we only have one shop. We are really overwhelmed."
Dongyang was puzzled: "Why don't you build a little more shop?"
Lin Jinyue said, "It's just that it's hot these few days, so it's hard to buy. It will be gone in a few days."
Shawan County is not small, so next time I open a store, I can also make iced drinks.
For firewood that is not very valuable, just hire someone to chop it.
Lin Jinyue thought that since Xie Hongyu was gone, it shouldn't be difficult for her to rent another shop with a yard.
However, the monthly rent is quite expensive, at least ten taels of silver.
Don’t think about it for now.
Lin Jinyue hadn't counted the accounts these days, but looking at the people coming and going in the shop, she guessed that she had made a lot of money.
Not only that, Lin Jinyue also discovered that there were quite a few young masters and young ladies in luxurious clothes queuing up in the shop.
They said that this smoothie had to be eaten fresh, but after wasting time, it was basically gone by the time I brought it back.
Lin Jinyue really underestimated the power of ice drinks.
But she still felt that she shouldn't be too hasty in opening the new shop and should check the accounts at the end of the month first.

The next morning, as soon as Lin Jinyue got up, she saw the blacksmith's wife, Liu, coming back.
They sell stir-fried snails and take a break every three days. Of course, it's not a complete break, but they have to transport the snails back and forth, about twice a day.
When Liu saw Lin Jinyue, she smiled and said, "Yueyue, you didn't know that when I got here today, I scared you."
Lin Jinyue was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Liu then said, "You don't know, when I woke up this morning, it was pitch black, and I saw a long line in front of the store, all the way to our stall. Since we were close, I bought a portion of fried snails."
Lin Jinyue thought about the grand occasion and laughed out loud.
“I didn’t expect iced drinks to be so popular.”
Liu smiled and said, "It's not all iced drinks. I often hear people talking about the octopus balls. The store owner even sent me one. The juice inside is so fresh, the octopus is well-seasoned, and it's springy. It's really delicious."
Lin Jinyue thought, since the land has been plowed almost completely, the next step would be farming, which would be a lot easier.
It looks like we can get a few more people to work in the shop.
