He shook his head helplessly.
It's such a waste to spoil this fat grandson.
This kid is nowhere to be seen all day. He said he went to set up a stall with Yu Zhizhi to do business, but he only goes for three days and rests for two, acting like a lazy bum, which has already displeased his father.
If it weren't for his intervention, this kid would have been punished by his father long ago.
Now he's gotten so bold that he dares to secretly hoard things.
Judging from his sneaky behavior just now, this thing must be pretty good!
While He Yang was soundly asleep, he was unaware that his secret stash of ice cream had been stolen and eaten.
After eating one, He Donghai couldn't stop. He loved the icy and sweet ice cream so much. After eating five ice creams in a row, he felt incredibly refreshed.
But later her stomach suffered.
When He Yang woke up, it was already getting dark.
During dinner, he noticed that his grandfather, who was usually present, was absent, so he asked his grandmother, who was sitting nearby:
"Huh! Why didn't Grandfather come for dinner? Is it because it's too hot and he has no appetite?"
Grandmother Guan smiled helplessly, "Your grandfather ate too many cold foods and got diarrhea. When we asked him what he ate, he was very stubborn and wouldn't say!"
Upon hearing this, He Yang suddenly realized what was going on.
It seems the eldest brother was right; one shouldn't eat too much cold food at once, or one will suffer.
Sitting across from me, He Xiaorong blinked her big eyes and said in a childish voice, "I saw my grandfather go to the ice storage room this afternoon. Not long after he came out, I saw him rushing to the outhouse."
He Yang chuckled to himself upon hearing this.
It turns out that Grandpa had been sneaking off to the icehouse to eat cold food!
Something feels off.
After thinking for a while, he finally realized what was going on.
Could it be that my grandfather...
Seeing her son rushing off before even having his meal, Madam He hurriedly called out, "Where are you going?"
Where else can we go?
He was going to check the ice storage room to see if his grandfather had stolen the ice cream he had hidden away.
Within a single day, news of Yu Zhizhi selling ice cream at a stall atop Mount Putuo began to spread throughout Beijing.
Related topics followed:
"Yu Zhizhi has been spotted on the top of Mount Putuo!"
"Yu Zhizhi is definitely out of her mind; the locations she sets up her stalls are all bizarre."
Ice cream is the perfect way to beat the summer heat!
Even the catchy jingle used by ice cream vendors has spread throughout the entire capital city.
While gossiping, ordinary people began to wonder what ice cream was.
Many people even plan to climb Mount Putuo tomorrow, ostensibly to pray for blessings, but actually to get ice cream.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Yu Zhizhi stretched, got up, washed, and dressed.
Just then, Uncle He rushed over to report: "Miss, someone is requesting an audience outside. I heard it was sent by the Sixth Prince."
Yu Zhizhi was a little puzzled, but she still replied, "Please let them in!"
A moment later, the other five guards, excluding Zhao Yi, entered the courtyard together.
Zhao Er, who was in charge, got straight to the point and explained his purpose: "Our master instructed the five of us guards to come to the Yun residence on our way and help carry the wooden boxes up the mountain later."
A warm feeling welled up in Yu Zhizhi's heart. It turned out that the Sixth Prince was a friend who was cold on the surface but warm on the inside, and he was quite considerate.
She had originally planned to go to the street to find someone to help her, but now it seems that the arrival of these guards is a real lifesaver.
She looked at Zhao Er gratefully and asked, "Is your master going to Mount Putuo again today?"
Zhao Er shook his head. "Master has important matters to attend to at the manor today."
Yu Zhizhi nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.
Seeing how kind-hearted he was, she would send Brother Ping An to the Sixth Prince's residence to deliver some ice cream to him after she returned from her stall, so he could enjoy it slowly.
Favors should be repaid whenever possible.
Otherwise, the debt will only accumulate, and then it will become a problem.
Ministry of Rites
The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing. Fang Zheng was leading his granddaughter Fang Rangrang through the back garden when they happened to run into Old Madam Fang and Madam Fang, who were having tea in the garden.
"Where are you two, grandmother and grandson, going?" Old Madam Fang asked curiously while sipping her fragrant tea.
Fang Zheng secretly winked at Fang Rangrang, hoping she would understand his meaning, but Fang Rangrang didn't notice.
And then, as expected, happened...
Fang Zheng replied with a smile, "Wife, my granddaughter and I are about to go shopping!"
Fang Rangrang innocently replied, "Grandma, Grandpa and I are going hiking!"
Hearing their completely different answers, Old Madam Fang frowned slightly, gave Fang Zheng a reproachful look, her expression somewhat strange, and said unhappily:
"Didn't you go to Mount Putuo to pray for blessings yesterday? Why are you going hiking again today?"
The old man is already quite old, yet he's still so restless and immature. In this sweltering weather, if his beloved granddaughter gets heatstroke, she'll definitely not let him off the hook.
Mrs. Fang gently pinched her daughter's cute round face and said with a look of heartache, "Rangrang, have you forgotten how pitiful you looked last night when you were crying in your sleep because of leg pain?"
Fang Rangrang, however, didn't take it seriously and replied with a grin, "Mother, my legs don't hurt anymore. As long as I can eat ice cream, even if my legs are numb later, I definitely won't complain about being tired!"
Madam Fang asked in confusion, "Ice cream? Could it be that you went up the mountain specifically for this refreshing treat?"
This morning, she heard from her servants that the rumors in the capital were that the fake legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion had gone to set up a stall on the top of Mount Putuo.
They also sell a type of food that people have never seen before to cool them down in the summer.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Fang Zheng had no choice but to tell the truth: "Yes. After trying the ice cream yesterday, we both couldn't stop thinking about it. It was so refreshing and had such a rich fruity and milky flavor."
"Unfortunately, the fake legitimate daughter of the Yu family only sets up a stall selling ice cream on the top of Putuo Mountain, so we had to climb the mountain."
Madam Fang put down her teacup and asked with a surprised look, "Why didn't you send someone to her residence to buy it?"
As for the address of her residence, we can find out by sending someone to check.
Why bother climbing mountains?
Wouldn't that be suffering for nothing?
Fang Rangrang eagerly answered, "We already asked Sister Yu yesterday, and she said that apart from setting up a stall to sell ice cream on the top of Putuo Mountain, she won't sell it anywhere else. No matter how much money you offer, she won't sell it!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Fang couldn't help but complain, "I think she's out of her mind! What normal person would refuse money like that when it's offered to them?"
Why would someone who could easily set up a stall in the bustling city to sell ice cream choose to climb all the way up the mountain to do so? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
Not only Madam Fang, but also the group of people following Yu Zhizhi's carriage at this moment thought the same way.
