Chapter 48: Marketable but Priceless



Looking at the full basket of fresh lychees, Yu Zhizhi smiled again.

There are so many lychees, her family can't possibly eat them all. But that's okay, we can process some of them into delicious lychee-flavored ice cream later.

She will personally deliver some to the Sixth Prince to try the day after tomorrow.

Yu Zhizhi planned to tempt him with delicious food first, in order to buy him some time.

Otherwise, she was really afraid of the Sixth Prince, afraid that he would urge her to quickly find a way to treat the scar on his face.

As for why we chose to deliver it the day after tomorrow instead of tomorrow...

Because she has something important to do tomorrow.

The next day.

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle was falling.

Several groups of people arrived at the gate of the Yun residence, all of them there for the ice cream, but Xiao Tao and Uncle He managed to send them away.

Around 2 p.m., Qi Yize and Qin Zihao leisurely walked into the Sixth Prince's residence.

On their way to the horse farm in the backyard, the two ran into Zhao Si, Zhao Wu, and Zhao Liu.

Qi Yize hurriedly stepped forward and asked curiously, "What are you three eating? Why are they all different colors?"

The food was brightly colored and looked very tempting, making him swallow several times.

Zhao Wu was engrossed in enjoying his red bean popsicle. He gently nudged Zhao Si next to him and whispered, "You explain it."

Zhao Si was used to being bullied by them, so he didn't dare to refuse. He could only raise his head and reply, "Young Master Qi, Young Master Qin, we are enjoying ice cream."

Qi Yize opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Ah! Where did you get the ice cream?"

Even though he hadn't been in the capital for some time, he had heard people talking about this summer treat, both last night at his residence and today on the street.

Moreover, this ice cream is only sold on the top of Putuo Mountain, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

Why were they able to taste such things in the Prince's mansion? Was it a reward from their friend Yun Jin?

He and Zihao often run around doing things for him, so they should at least get a few coins!

At that moment, he was having a wonderful fantasy, but the next sentence shattered it instantly.

Zhao Liu grinned: "These were given to us by Miss Yu. Each of the six of us guards received five. That doesn't even include the days we spent climbing the mountain."

Qi Yize stammered, "You...you mean the person selling ice cream at the stall is Yu Zhizhi!"

It's her again!

Zhao Si eagerly replied, "Yes! She's amazing. Not only can she make stinky tofu, but she's also invented a refreshing and delicious ice cream."

Then, under Qi Yize's persistent questioning, Zhao Liu had no choice but to tell them everything that had happened in the past few days.

Qin Zihao never expected that Yu Zhizhi's personality had changed so much, and that she had actually become friends with Yun Jin.

This woman is extraordinary.

Qi Yize reached into his sleeve, pulled out a silver ingot, and displayed it in front of them: "Whoever is willing to sell me an ice cream, I will give him one tael of silver."

However, none of the three of them wavered in the face of such tempting conditions.

Zhao Wu quickly took a bite of the ice cream in his hand, saying as he ate, "Young Master Qi, do you know that this ice cream is priceless outside these days!"

“Someone has already come to me, wanting to buy one from me for ten taels of silver, but I refused without hesitation.”

A few days ago, when they helped carry the ice cream up the mountain, they encountered many wealthy and powerful families. However, these past two days, Yu Zhizhi hadn't gone to Putuo Mountain to set up her stall, and they couldn't find her, so these people came to the Sixth Prince's residence to block the guards.

He happened to run into them.

Upon hearing this, both Zhao Si and Zhao Liu were stunned.

The two asked almost simultaneously, "How come I didn't know about this?"

Zhao Wu's eyes flickered, and he replied somewhat guiltily, "Even if you knew, you would definitely refuse, so I helped you get rid of it."

Actually, he secretly sold one ice cream.

Although I was very reluctant to part with it, it was, after all, ten taels of silver.

If I don't sell, I'd be a complete fool.

Furthermore, he had already made up his mind. Next time, he would definitely shamelessly go to the Yun residence to find Yu Zhizhi, take five taels of silver to buy some ice cream from her, hide it away, and savor it slowly.

After all, she and her master were friends. If he just sweet-talked her a little, Miss Yu would definitely agree.

Zhao Si nodded in agreement: "Zhao Wu is right. Every bite of this ice cream is one less bite available. We don't even have enough for ourselves, so how can we have any left to sell to others?"

Zhao Liu chimed in, "I only have two left. Even if you gave me fifty taels of silver, I wouldn't sell them."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu muttered to himself: I'll sell!

At this moment, the shooting range is next to the horse farm.

Zhao Yunjin stood under the blazing sun, bow and arrow in hand, intently aiming at the bullseye. His expression was serious, his gaze sharp as an eagle's, as if he wanted to see right through the target.

Just then, a loud shout came from afar, but it had no effect on him.

He released his fingers, and the arrow flew out of the bowstring, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and hitting the bullseye accurately.

"Yun Jin, can you get me and Zi Hao an ice cream? My throat is so dry."

Zhao Yunjin glanced back.

Qi Yize looked on with a hungry expression, while Qin Zihao looked at him with a smile.

Qin Zihao stepped forward, pointed to the target in the distance, and praised, "Your archery skills are as steady, accurate, and ruthless as ever."

Zhao Yunjin replied expressionlessly, "Shall we have a competition?"

Qin Zihao's lips curled up slightly, "Okay!"
