Chapter 358 Best-selling ice packs
The store across from the school was not as Lu Changjie thought, earning only enough money to pay the employees.
In order to attract more people to the store, Lu Changjun announced that the first 10 students who came to buy things every day would get a piece of candy regardless of how much they spent.
In this way, students who wanted to eat candy had to arrive at school early.
Often before Cao Li opened the store for work, a group of elementary school students gathered at the door of the store.
Shen Jiale was worried at first that these elementary school students would come to school early to eat a piece of candy and would make trouble outside before class.
As a result, Lu Changjun and Lu Changjie took these children to read aloud at the door of the store.
The principal had learned that these children came to school early and did not stay in the classroom, and he was somewhat resentful of the small shop's promotional methods.
He felt that the small shop was just tricking the children into spending money.
Now that he sees that the students are all studying with the Lu brothers, he no longer has any objections.
If there are questions that the lower grade students cannot answer, Lu Changjun will explain them carefully.
The lower grade students' grades have improved, and when they get 100 points on the test, their parents are happy and give them more pocket money.
With more pocket money, they will naturally go to the small shop to buy things.
This money eventually goes into the pockets of the Lu brothers.
...
Nowadays, young people have to buy home appliances when they get married.
Lu Mingqi's home appliance store has received a batch of refrigerators.
At Zhou Min's suggestion, Lu Mingqi gave a refrigerator to Lu Mingfeng and Lu Bailing, saying that since he was selling refrigerators, they must be used by their families.
Of course, the two families couldn't take them for free, so Lu Mingqi couldn't refuse and had to pay the purchase price.
With the refrigerator, Lu Changjie had the idea of making money.
Discussed with Lu Changjun: "Brother, now that we have a refrigerator at home, we can make popsicles and sell them in the summer."
Liang Qiaoli, who was weaving bracelets, said: "If the store cannot sell the popsicles within a certain period of time, they will melt."
Lu Changjun said: "Let's make ice packs. Even if they melt, the water will be cold."
Lu Yongfu supported his grandsons in starting a business and said: "Grandpa will buy you a new refrigerator."
Liang Qiaoli said: "Refrigerators are too expensive. I buy and eat the dishes at home on the same day. I hardly need a refrigerator. You can move to the store."
The brothers applauded.
Now that the weather is not hot, the brothers tried to make ice packs of various flavors.
Shen Jiale bought them a sealing machine.
When the weather started to get hot, Lu Yongfu sent refrigerators to the children's shops.
Every day after school, the brothers made ice packs at home.
They took them to school in the morning and put them in the refrigerator. By noon, they were frozen hard.
Shen Jiale added spring water to the drinking water at home every day, so the ice packs made by the brothers were very popular in school.
...
The weather is warm and people tend to feel sleepy, especially at noon.
At this time, go to the small store to buy an ice pack and drink the ice water inside. The mind will be clear at once, and you will not doze off in class.
Lu Changjun's class teacher, Ms. Hua, is a breastfeeding mother who just gave birth to a child.
She has to teach during the day and take care of the child at night.
During the afternoon class, Ms. Hua was a little listless.
"Hello, students."
"Hello, teacher!"
Such voices startled Teacher Hua.
Looking at the children in the class, they were all energetic. Their eyes were wide open.
Teacher Hua thought that children had unlimited energy, unlike her, who forced herself to come to class.
Today, the math teacher took a leave of absence, so Teacher Hua was teaching the whole day.
The bell rang and the children ran out of the classroom.
Teacher Hua was too sleepy and didn't want to go back to the office, so she lay on the desk and took a nap.
The monitor entered the classroom and pushed Teacher Hua.
Teacher Hua raised her head and asked, "What's up?"
The monitor handed the ice pack he had just bought to Teacher Hua: "Teacher Hua, the weather is hot, drink a sip of ice water to cool down."
Teacher Hua thanked the monitor: "Teacher, there are babies at home, so you can't just eat cold things."
"It should be okay to drink a sip. I see that Teacher Hua is not energetic at all. You will be energetic as long as you drink it."
As he said, the monitor threw the frozen ice pack on the table, and the ice in the bag was broken.
The monitor tore open the bag, took out a small piece of ice and handed it to Teacher Hua.
Thinking that there was still a class to go, Teacher Hua didn't want to refuse the monitor's kindness, so she took the monitor's ice and put it in her mouth.
Needless to say, when the ice went into her throat, Teacher Hua's mind immediately became much clearer.
Teacher Hua saw that many students in the class were holding ice packs in their hands, and reminded them not to eat too much cold food, as it would cause diarrhea.
One student said, "Eating the ice packs from Lu Changjun's house will not cause diarrhea, and we like eating them."
The bell rang, and Teacher Hua started teaching again.
During this class, Teacher Hua did not show any signs of sleepiness, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it be because of eating a piece of ice?
...
The next day, Teacher Hua was in the office and heard from teachers in other classes that the children in their class were always dozing off in class recently.
The principal said, “It’s not the children’s fault. It was so hot that even I dozed off.”
Teacher Hua said, “The children in our class are very energetic. None of them dozed off.”
The fourth grade teacher said, “That’s impossible. The students in your class are all young. How can they sit still during afternoon classes?”
Teacher Hua replied, “Why would I lie to you? You all have eyes wide open and look very energetic.”
The teachers thought that Teacher Hua was protecting the children in her class and did not argue with her.
The child was noisy for half the night last night, and Teacher Hua did not sleep well. She was worried that the child would not be energetic in class later.
After careful consideration, Teacher Hua went to the small shop opposite the school and bought a bag of ice packs.
After tearing open the ice pack, Teacher Hua poured the ice cubes into a cup and drank a sip when she felt sleepy in class.
After a whole day, Teacher Hua felt that her mental state today was really good, and it was a different feeling from the past.
Fortunately, the baby ate and drank enough at night and did not make any noise. Teacher Hua had a rare good sleep.
...
Lu Changjun and Lu Changjie hurried to make ice packs when they got home.
Liang Qiaoli asked them if they had finished their homework.
The two said they had finished it at school.
Liang Qiaoli saw that the two brothers had made twice as many ice packs as yesterday and asked, "Why are you making so many? The refrigerator can't hold them all."
Lu Changjun said, "The ice packs we brought to the store are not enough to sell, so we want to make more and replenish them as soon as they are sold out."
Liang Qiaoli wondered, "Are ice packs so easy to sell?"
Lu Changjie said, "When everyone came to school at noon, the refrigerator was cleared out. Even our head teacher came to buy some."
Hearing that the ice packs were selling so well, Liang Qiaoli called Lu Yongfu to help make ice packs together.
