After it solidified at room temperature, it was loaded onto an ox cart and set off.
However, the Zhao family only kept four of these barrels, and gave the last barrel to Li Niu. In the past few days, they relied entirely on Li Niu to run back and forth, and the desire for ice jelly could no longer be hidden.
Since the profits are destined to be shared, of course those who are closest should be given first.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Li Niu was startled. He was just a coachman.
"Brother Niu, I'm sorry to bother you these days. You can sell this ice jelly. It should be selling well in town recently," said Zhao Taohua.
Li Niu's face turned red for a moment. He had been driving the cart for the past few days and probably knew what the Zhao family did. A bowl of ice jelly cost 40 cents in the county, so how could he afford to take a bucket from the Zhao family?
"This, this has to be considered a cost, right?"
Zhao Zhu said, "Of course we have to calculate the cost. Including the toppings, the cost is about 900 wen. At 10 wen per bowl, you can make 700 to 800 wen. You can also pay the cost after making the profit."
When Li Niu heard this, his eyes widened instantly. The Zhao family had already leaked so much through the gaps between their fingers. He couldn't imagine how much they had earned. It turned out to be a big mistake.
At the same time, he was also glad that he had kept his mouth shut these days. It must be that the Zhao brothers and sisters felt that he was reliable, so they were willing to make concessions.
I was overwhelmed with emotions at the moment.
"well……"
He was grateful in his heart. After all, when he hired a car and earned a hundred coins a day, he would wake up laughing in his dreams. Now that he has seven or eight hundred coins, he doesn't need to sleep anymore and can laugh at home every day.
As a result, Li Niu kept his mouth shut even more. After sending the Zhao family to the county town, he returned to the town and started selling ice jelly by himself. His business was very good.
Nowadays, this thing is eaten by upper-class scholars in the county town. Common people are vying for it, and one bucket is not enough to sell.
The situation at the Zhao family was similar. Because of the poetry conference, sales were extremely good. In one day, four barrels were sold easily.
When he returned home in the evening, Zhao Sanzhu began to count his accounts again. After deducting the sixteen taels from the previous deposit, plus the money earned from setting up the stall and various other expenses, the Zhao family's savings amounted to a full thirty-one taels.
Li Niu also returned with a full load.
When the Zhao family took the county bus and arrived in the town, Li Niu had been waiting for a long time and hurriedly stuffed 900 coins of capital into Zhao Dazhu's pocket.
A face full of excitement and ecstasy.
"Brother Zhuzi, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, Sister Taohua, thank you," said Li Niu.
Old Man Zhao chuckled and said, "Why thank me? You're such a kind kid. How could we treat you unfairly? Let's make money together."
Li Niu was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't worry, I'll just play dumb in the village and know nothing about anything. From now on, you can call me whenever you want."
"You kid, I say you're kind, but the more kind you are, have you eaten?"
"Not yet?"
"Let's go eat together."
Finally, everyone had a big meal in an ordinary restaurant in the town.
I got home in the middle of the night.
"By the way, even though I didn't say it, there seems to be rumors going around in the village. Everyone says you're up to something serious, so you better be careful..."
When they reached the village entrance, Li Niu gave a reminder.
Everyone in the Zhao family nodded.
In fact, it was expected.
When the Zhao family pushed open the door that had been locked for a day, their faces instantly turned bad. They thought the villagers would notice and become jealous, but they didn't expect it to be so cruel.
The next day, while they were not at home, someone sneaked in and searched the Zhao family's house from top to bottom.
Fortunately, Zhao Taohua was more careful and quietly put the ice powder seeds, newly bought cloth and food into the space.
Even if thieves came in, the Zhao family would be so poor that they would have nothing left but a rat hole.
