Chapter 676: Ice Cube Business Starts
"Why did they bring back two carriages?" someone from Huanxiyuan asked.
Wang Hao, who had just returned from outside, saw this and said with a smile, "The Shen family must be doing some business again and they need a carriage."
Everyone in the courtyard knows the Shen family's situation now. With the general's protection, the family has more and more ways to make money. I'm afraid they will have to hire someone to do the farm work soon.
Everyone was exiled. Looking at the life of the Shen family and then looking at their own family, many people felt inferior to them, and there was not even anyone who wanted to report to the court.
If the fugitives from other places knew about the situation here, they might have some bad thoughts, but the people in Huanxiyuan are not stupid enough to do that. The Shen family made them money and lived a good life, but they still reported them. Are they still human?
Before, only the Chen, Liu, and Wang families followed closely behind the Shen family, but now everyone in the entire Huanxiyuan and its surrounding areas follows their family. They are trying every means to get close to the Shen family, and only fools would report them.
Putting aside other things, haven’t we seen what the situation is like outside now? The imperial court doesn’t want this piece of land in northern Hubei anymore! Will it be useful for you to report it? Yes, if you must go, then think about how to get to the capital first.
"Oh, if it's true, our family must catch up as soon as possible this time, and try to add a mule cart or something to our family next year." The person who asked the question heard this and left happily.
Shen Qingqian came out of the house and saw two carriages parked in the yards of the Cheng family and the Shen family respectively. She was stunned for a moment before asking, "Who bought it?"
She was still thinking last night that the family should get another car, and now there were two in front of her.
"Sixth Miss, my third brother asked me to buy it. He said the weather is hot and you will need to run around outside soon, so it will definitely be useful to you." Ling Yun said with a smile.
When Shen Qingqian heard that Sheng Ze bought it, she immediately understood and felt happy. However, she still asked, "How much did it cost?"
"Well, not much. My third brother said that you can use the carriage anytime you want. And when the farming season comes, you can let the horses go to the fields to help. It's a win-win situation, and you don't owe him anything." Ling Yun said quickly.
Are you kidding me? If he dares to accept money from the Sixth Miss, the master will chop him to pieces.
Shen Qingqian didn't say anything more after hearing this. Anyway, she and Sheng Ze were cooperating, so she could just give him more money at any time.
Her eyes fell on Shen Qingning, and Shen Qingqian asked in surprise, "Fifth sister, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Qingning looked listless, with a pouty mouth, as if he was about to cry but not quite.
"Sixth sister" heard Shen Qingqian's question, and Shen Qingning's eyes turned red. "The cakes we made last night went bad by noon today. If Fourth sister hadn't discovered it early and sold the ones made this morning first, we might have been involved in a lawsuit. Do you think our business can no longer be run?"
Shen Qingqian was stunned and suddenly realized that this was ancient times and there was no preservation technology. The weather was so hot, it was normal for the cake to go bad.
"Fifth sister, don't think too much. Not only can we continue this business, we can also start another more profitable business!" Shen Qingqian said with a smile, patting her shoulder.
Shen Qingning asked blankly, "What other business can we do?"
"Of course it's the ice business. Fifth sister, you forgot, the vegetables we sent out of the customs before were all kept fresh by ice. Of course, cakes can also be kept fresh with ice. Since we know how to make ice, isn't it normal for our shop to sell ice as well?"
