The fat on her belly is a little annoyance that is sometimes very noticeable and sometimes very subtle, and it's an annoyance that Yue Jiuyue can't get rid of.
She earned it through her own hard work, yet she can't make it disappear through her own efforts—that's a kind of helplessness.
"Grandma, Zhou Daya taught me how to brew tea with snow water today. I didn't taste any difference from the water I usually drink. However, Zhou Daya said that snow water has many uses. You can wash with snow water when you get prickly heat in the summer, bathing with snow water can nourish your skin, and drinking snow water can prolong life... Grandma, snow water has so many benefits, should we find a jar specifically to store snow water?"
Xiao Man'er seemed to have forgotten what happened at the dinner table earlier. Whenever there was something good, she would run to Yue Jiuyue, chattering away as she explained the situation, and then try to get Yue Jiuyue's permission.
Snow water?
This is something we should definitely collect, and the more the better!
She not only wanted to keep them for herself, but also wanted to sell them in the mall's shop. It was definitely a risk-free and highly profitable business!
She still remembers how some people made a living online by writing a few words in the snow and earning a few dollars or tens of dollars. She was so envious back then. Unfortunately, in the city where she lived, it rarely snowed after she grew up. Even light snow was rare, let alone heavy snow or blizzards for her to do. She could only be envious.
This time, despite the heavy snowfall, she still couldn't afford to run the business that would make her money, because she didn't have internet access...
It's all about timing and fate; sometimes you just can't help but believe in the superstition!
"Okay, tell your little brother to bring out two empty jars and clean them thoroughly. Be careful when shoveling snow; don't remove the top layer or the dirt, and discard any dirty parts. There's plenty of snow anyway, isn't there?"
Okay! I'm off then!
Little Man ran out cheering, and soon after, Lin Chaobei's reluctant voice could be heard:
"Little girl, is it okay if I wear it tomorrow? I still have to practice my writing!"
Meanwhile, Yue Jiuyue coaxed Xiaoman'er to drag Lin Chaobei, who was engrossed in writing stories in his room, out to do some work, while she herself remained wrapped in her warm blankets and did not move.
She wanted to store snow water and sell snow and snow water, but these were all her private schemes, and it was best to keep them a secret.
Of course, even if she gets caught, it doesn't matter. Just like she said to Xiaoman'er, in the middle of winter, do we need snow? If we get caught, we'll just bring it home and continue to sneakily do our little tricks.
At night, Yue Jiuyue quietly went out, put on gloves, and started busying herself with making snowballs.
A snowball costs ten coins, and it's all-natural and pollution-free—definitely worth the price!
Sure enough, the snowballs were very popular. She built one and hung it up, and before the second snowball was finished, the previous one had already been sold.
Then, the unscrupulous merchants raised the prices.
She started by charging ten coins per snowball, then twenty coins, and finally fifty coins, but it still sold out in seconds. She was so exhausted that she quit.
Despite the cold, snowy weather and howling northwest wind, she was sweating profusely. You could guess without even seeing her that she was steaming hot, like a freshly baked meat bun!
Thinking of steamed buns, she patted her chubby belly. She was hungry! She wanted to eat some!
