Chapter 499 How can we keep good fortune out?
"It's so nice to have a glass of iced drink on such a hot day!"
"Not only is it comfortable, but it's affordable. A glass of ice water is only one copper coin. This owner is really a down-to-earth person."
"That's right, but my home is too far away. The ice water has to be heated up before I can bring it home. Otherwise, I would have to let my mother have a taste of it."
“…”
A small window was opened at the door to sell ice water as instructed by Jiang Wan.
Ice water costs only one copper coin, and ordinary people in the city can afford it.
Seeing that Lushui was fascinated by what she was saying, Jiang Wan asked with a smile, "Lushui, is it delicious?"
“It tastes good.”
Lushui is the youngest and has become much more lively since following Jiang Wan.
She lowered her voice, "Master, they are all praising you."
"I'm only doing this for myself."
Jiang Wan only said this one sentence, and then turned her attention to the maids and servants waiting in line.
Only one-third of the people bought ice cubes. After all, summer had just arrived, and some people probably had some in stock at home.
But they were very curious about the drink made from ice cubes and volunteered to buy it for their masters to try.
There were even rich girls and boys who came in person to try it out.
Around noon, customers kept coming into the shop and a long line formed outside.
The private rooms on the second floor were packed with people. The waiters were so busy that they had no time to rest. Even the shopkeeper served the drinks himself.
This day's income was quite a lot. Jiang Wan's lips curled up slightly. Fortunately, she was well prepared.
Tomorrow Cheng’s barbecue shop will also have some cold drinks, which can help relieve some of the pressure.
This is all hard-earned money.
Just when Jiang Wan stood up and was about to go to Cheng Jin to discuss things, Jiang Wan spotted a familiar figure with her sharp eyes.
She is the Second Prince's wife. Even though she is wearing a veil, Jiang Wan is still very familiar with her.
Why did she come to Jiuzhou again?
Jiang Wan immediately sat back in her seat. Could it be that the Second Prince's wife was here to cause trouble?
But she never said that this was her shop.
While he was wondering, the raised voice of Xiangya, the maid of the Second Prince's wife, came.
"What? There are no private rooms! Our master is of noble status, how can he stand in line outside!"
"Sorry, there's no room at the moment."
The shopkeeper invited by Qiu Niang spoke sincerely, "To express our apology, we will give you a cold drink later."
"Who wants your gifts?"
Xiangya said angrily: "Go and vacate a private room right now.
It is a blessing for you that our master comes to your shop to eat. There is no reason to block such a blessing from outside."
Looking at the tone of this specious argument, the Second Prince's wife looked a little thinner.
Jiang Wan seriously suspected that she had been suppressing herself for too long when fighting with Hua Xiao.
"Feel sorry."
The shopkeeper bowed and apologized, "The guests in the private rooms on the second floor have not yet used up their rooms..."
"The first floor is fine."
The Second Prince's wife suddenly spoke up, her eyes falling on Jiang Wan, "Some people have been here for so long, isn't it bad for them to keep occupying seats?"
Jiang Wan: ...
She was clearly wearing a veil.
She can also attack with great precision, it seems like they are born to be in conflict with each other.
The shopkeeper looked up and then explained awkwardly:
"I'm really sorry, the guests haven't finished their meals yet, so we can't proactively kick them out."
The shopkeeper was speechless. Miss Qiu had just told him that the guest was a distinguished guest and he dared not offend him.
"This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Do you want your shop to let distinguished guests queue up with ordinary people?"
Xiangya is no longer the arrogant Xiangya of the past. Seeing this, Lushui beside Jiang Wan couldn't help but complain.
"I don't know what her master's status is. How dare he be so arrogant in Jiuzhou."
"Don't worry, they won't dare to go too far."
Jiang Wan knew the Second Prince's wife's personality too well. On the one hand, she wanted to make her presence felt, but on the other hand, she was definitely afraid that Song Jiuyuan would discover her whereabouts.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper nodded and bowed and explained: "Sorry, today is the first day of opening of our shop.
If you don’t want to queue up together, you can book a private room in advance.”
"That's all."
The Second Prince's wife frowned with a look of depression and gently squeezed Xiangya's palm.
“Our master is waiting outside in the carriage, please make room for him as soon as possible.
She is here to do business, just report it to your boss."
"Yes, sir."
The shopkeeper responded with a smile and watched them leave.
Jiang Wan took a sip of the cold drink in her hand and said to Lu Shui:
"Go up and tell Qiu Niang to try to figure out the other party's intentions."
"Okay, girl."
Lu Shui went up to the second floor with ease, while Jiang Wan made an excuse to return to the carriage.
Then she took out some cosmetics and slightly modified her appearance, hoping to be safe.
Half an hour later, Jiang Wan also went to the private room, but it was the room next to Qiu Niang.
This is the private room that Jiang Wan reserved for herself. As early as when the decoration was being done, Qiu Niang had the two private rooms merged into one.
There was just a door deliberately built in the middle, and it was blocked by a screen, so it was not very clear.
"girl."
Qiu Niang lowered her voice and said to Jiang Wan, "According to your instructions, this private room will be given to her."
"Um."
Jiang Wan nodded slowly and turned her head to look at Lu Shui who was drinking milk tea happily.
"It's hot, don't try to stay cool, or you'll suffer when you have your period."
She had just had a glass of lemonade.
“It’s delicious.”
Lushui stuck out her tongue playfully, but obediently stopped drinking.
Just take a sip occasionally.
Soon, Jiang Wan heard some movement in the private room next door. It was the Second Prince's wife and her people entering the private room.
Xiangya complained, "How dare a small shopkeeper be so arrogant? If His Highness knew, he would have to ask him to help His Majesty vent her anger."
"He is now obsessed with that bitch Hua Xiao, how could he think of me?"
The Second Prince's wife's tone was full of complaints. It seemed that even if "the cat replaced the prince."
She hasn't been having a good time lately.
"My Lady, His Highness was just blinded by that vixen. Now that you have the Little Prince, no one can surpass you."
Jiang Wan in the private room next door rolled her eyes, confusing the royal bloodline and making them proud.
Qiu Niang and Lu Shui were confused, so Jiang Wan lowered her voice and gave instructions to Qiu Niang.
"Go see what she's going to do."
"good."
When Qiu Niang went out, the Second Prince's wife next door asked Xiang Ya to find the boss behind this.
Qiu Niang was also someone who could learn from others' experiences, so she did not appear in front of them immediately.
Instead, he made them wait for half an hour before appearing with an apologetic look on his face.
"Qiu Niang, you have made a lot of progress."
Jiang Wan sighed, and Lu Shui on the side said enviously: "If I were as smart as Sister Qiu Niang, I could also help the master share the worries."
"You have your own strengths, so don't envy others."
Jiang Wan smiled, "As soon as I saw you, I felt happy."
Lushui was so cute when she smiled that Jiang Wan couldn't help but pinch her little face.
Lushui smiled a little embarrassedly, while Qiu Niang next to her had already started chatting with the Second Prince's wife.
Qiu Niang acted like a hostess, "This lady invited me to meet her alone. Is there something important?"
