"There is really a fragrance of lotus flowers in this tea, the fragrance is pleasant, it is really fragrant on the teeth and cheeks, how did you come up with this method?"

The queen put down the teacup in her hand and asked the promise to order tea on the side.

Xu Nuo's action of ordering tea in his hand did not stop, and he said: "Back to the sage, this method was told by an old tea man in his hometown, but he didn't come up with it himself." ”

The queen nodded, and said thoughtfully: "The official family likes lotus flowers as much as the sixth brother, and yesterday they specially drew a picture of lotus, if you can taste lotus tea, you will be happy." ”

"Er has already told you how to make lotus tea...... "Xu promised that the queen would keep her in the palace again, so he hurriedly explained the situation.

"Don't worry, I just want to invite the emperor to come over for tea now, I don't mean to keep you longer, I'll let you go tomorrow. The queen quipped, with a smile on her face that could not be concealed.

The sixth mother of the Xu family told her palace maid the method of making lotus tea without reservation, which shows that she is not selfish. Now she intends to raise and let the emperor taste this fragrant tea, and the six mothers of the Xu family hurriedly retreated, it can be seen that she has no second heart, and she has no intention of taking the opportunity to compete for the limelight, she likes such a temperament.

The emperor came to the queen's bedroom and drank tea, and liked the taste of lotus tea very much, so he made Xu Promise dictate the production method, and let the eunuchs around him write it down, and when he left, he rewarded the queen with jewelry, and also rewarded Xu with some ornaments and exquisite cloth.

Early the next morning, he promised to say goodbye to the queen and leave the palace, but before he arrived at Xu's mansion, the carriage was stopped.

She asked through the curtain, "Who?"

"Lady, it's me. Chuntang stopped the carriage in the palace. looks handsome again, and wears an elegant yellow shirt, which provokes many passers-by.

Promise to lift the curtain and see the scene outside. "Come up." ”

Chuntang jumped into the carriage without saying a word, put the burden in his hand on the small table in the carriage, and promised after the carriage walked: "Lady Hu Niangzi asked the little one to bring you a message, saying that if you are not in a hurry to go home, can you go to West Street to meet her first." ”

Xu Promise looked at Chuntang's anxious appearance and felt strange. If Hu Ling really had something to look for her, it would not be Chuntang who stopped the carriage just now. Hu Ling will definitely come in person, carrying a whip directly into the carriage.

She saw that there was a hidden meaning in Chuntang's words, so she asked the coachman to send her to the intersection of West Street.

The two got out of the car. Chuntang hurriedly said: "Lady, do you remember that you wanted to go to see the shop on West Street before you entered the palace?"

Xu Yuguang saw that the carriage was far away and no one was following him, so he asked, "Remember, what's wrong?"

"Something happened in the ice market. The shopkeeper over there came to me. I thought it would be difficult for you to come out when you returned home, so I rushed to find you at this time. Chuntang said and showed the burden in his hand to Xu Promise.

Xu Yu naturally knew that this package contained men's clothes, so he nodded to Chuntang, said no more, and walked directly to the most prosperous restaurant on West Street-Shengde Building.

Shengde Building was originally one of Zhu Shang's few assets in Bianjing, but now it belongs to her.

They went up to the box on the second floor and promised to change their clothes in the house, while Chuntang kept watch outside.

The shopkeeper of the Shengde Building hurried upstairs. Seeing Chuntang, he asked anxiously: "Is the owner inside?"

He is one of the few people who knows the true identity of the owner, and he doesn't dare to call her Liuniangzi directly outside.

"In. Please go and invite those shopkeepers to come over, and we will have something to say to them. ”

The shopkeeper stroked his palm and said, "Great, just wait for the owner to give you an idea." Although the owner is not very old, he has more ideas than anyone else, and he has a ruthless and accurate vision when he sees things, and he has only done things wholeheartedly for her after seeing the methods of the owner a few times.

After finishing speaking, he patted his sleeve, and went out to find someone with a greasy face and a smile on his face.

Promise has three ice shops in Bianjing, managed by three different shopkeepers.

Three men came in with their heads bowed, one tall and healthy as an ox, one as thin as a firewood, and one as fat as a giant elephant.

Xu Yu saw the three of them, and couldn't help frowning.

Don't say three of them, even if they stand on the street, they are enough to attract attention.

"I've seen the big boss. The three of them spoke with little confidence, guilt and expectation.

When he promised to see these shopkeepers, he no longer concealed his original momentum, and said in a deep voice: "Raise your head, what the hell is going on." ”

The three of them have been old shopkeepers in the ice market for many years, and if they weren't really desperate, they wouldn't have found her here.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and replied, "We are all old shops on this street, and old customers in previous years order ice and do not charge a deposit. I don't think that a few days ago, after the ice cellar was opened, most of the regular customers did not come to buy ice, so people went out to inquire and found out that they went to the side house to buy ice. But once the ice cellar is opened, it can't be closed anymore, and it has to be sold out. According to the amount booked before the cellar opened, each of our three families opened an ice cellar, and it will be sold out within three days.

After finishing speaking, he shook his head helplessly, looking very sad.

The first ice cellar opened by Sanjia Ice was large and small, and his family had more regular customers and more set amounts, and opened the largest ice cellar.

Nowadays, there are very few people who come to buy ice, and he can't sleep at night as he watches the ice in the ice cellar melt day by day.

The shopkeeper, who was as strong as an ox, said, "It's heart-wrenching that we've been selling ice on this street for ten years and have never encountered such a thing." ”

Although he tried to keep his voice as low as possible, his ears still hurt, and he promised to suspect that he could be heard outside the restaurant.

In previous years, half of the ice was bought and put in the house to cool off, and half was bought by vendors to make cold drinks. This year, almost all the vendors who ordered ice repented and didn't buy ice from them.

Xu Yu looked at the three of them and asked expressionlessly, "Have you ever inquired about that ice shop?"

"Naturally, but we didn't ask anything after asking a few times, only that their ice was much lower than ours, but the price was so low that it couldn't make a profit at all! Now more and more people go to their house to buy ice, and their first cellar of ice has been sold, and the second cellar of ice has been opened this morning! If this continues, our ice will wait to melt. ”

The fat shopkeeper touched a handful of snot while saying, looking loveless and extremely hesitant.

"I'll check the reason for this matter, they sell it at such a low price, either they can't get it back, or there are other channels, as for you, it's ......"

After making a promise, the three shopkeepers all stared at her with wide eyes and asked in unison, "Boss, is this possible?"

"Don't worry, you just have to do as I say. ”

Xu Promise smiled indifferently, his hand on his chin, and he looked like he was holding the chance to win.

In the summer, the third watch of the cold market in Bianjing is over, selling cold drinks is more profitable than selling ice, and now there are only two flavors of cold drinks on the market, and she comes from the era when cold drinks and milk tea are everywhere, and just think of a few tricks is enough to sell well.

Since the vendors who sell cold drinks order ice but regret not buying it after opening the cellar and release her pigeons, then don't blame her for stealing their business.

Well, she's such a cautious person-

Qingming went to Guilin, it was very beautiful and greasy, and I recommend the goblins to play. (To be continued.) )
