113 Chapter 113
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and few people are willing to go outside every day when the sun is scorching. The bear children in the village can also climb trees and fish every day, jumping everywhere. Their skin was tanned and they sweated profusely every day, but they still ran happily in the sun as if they didn't feel the heat.
It's the Chinese medicine hall, although there are trees around to shade it, but the temperature is also a lot higher. Dr. Qin asked people to keep herbal tea every day, warm water to be prepared, and electric fans to be brought out. On such a hot day, the alias is not listed, and people are guilty of heat stroke. Even so, many people sweat every day.
Many people are envious of the village children who have caught knowledge everywhere and chased chickens and dogs. Especially if you have children in the city, on this hot day, which child is either nested in an air-conditioned house, or rarely goes out to walk around two steps in the morning and evening. Looking at the children in the village, I feel that they are strong and healthy.
With Feng Junhui using fruits to make popsicles, many children follow suit, and this time is the season when autumn pears, dates, and grapes are ripe. Many children don't have refrigerators at home, so they take these fruits from their own to relatives' houses, or even run to Feng Junhui's house.
Mother Feng also likes this group of children, not only giving them frozen popsicles, but also giving them some fruit to enter. can make a group of children happy, if you want to say who has the best fruit in the village, all the children know that it is Feng Junhui's family!
"Aunt Zhang, can I use this chrysanthemum frozen popsicle? I want to borrow your refrigerator to freeze more, I, I'll pay for the electricity. A little girl with big braids, dark eyes, and a little thin, but very energetic, came over with a basket of chrysanthemums and asked.
"It's the girl of the Wang family, right? I haven't seen you for a few days, it's all so high, hurry up and come into the house. Mother Feng hurriedly beckoned the little girl into the house.
The people in the village call her Wang Yatou, and her real name is Wang Yan. To say that this child is also pitiful, his father was sick and went before she was three years old. Wang Yan's mother was also weak and couldn't stand the family, so she married another party not long after. Wang Yan has also been carried by her mother-in-law and grandfather. Now I'm almost ten years old, and I'm in school. Although her grandmother also grew a lot of vegetables and made a lot of money.
But her grandmother is used to being thrifty, and she wants to raise this only granddaughter and send her to college, so she has always been thrifty. Wang Yan also saw that Feng Junhui's birds were selling things in the Chinese medicine hall, so she thought of making popsicles to sell.
This period of time is the season when all kinds of wild chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the Chinese medicine hall is also buying some scattered medicines. In the past few days, all kinds of wild chrysanthemums that can be used for medicinal purposes are the focus of acquisition. Wang Yan is also diligent, picking fresh wild chrysanthemums everywhere every day and sending them to the Chinese medicine hall, which can also be exchanged for a lot of money.
When Wang Yan drank the herbal tea in the Chinese medicine hall, she found that one of them was made of wild white chrysanthemum, so she asked the doctor about the effect of this chrysanthemum to make tea. The people in the Chinese medicine hall told her that this wild white chrysanthemum has the effect of dispersing wind and clearing heat, calming the liver and brightening the eyes, clearing heat and detoxifying, and it is better to soak in water this day.
This girl is also smart, seeing so many people calling hot, most of her family's fruits were sold for money by her grandparents. I kept some for her, but there were fewer frozen popsicles to sell. So she thought of using chrysanthemums to freeze popsicles, she thought that this should be easy to sell, don't people in the city scarce things in their mountains?
"Aunt Zhang, how much money should I give you for this?" Wang Yan asked a little nervously.
"If you want any money, Aunt Zhang will freeze it for you. However, this chrysanthemum is afraid that it will not be frozen until it is soaked in water, otherwise it will not smell if it is thrown directly into cold water. I'll help you boil the kettle, and you can wash this chrysanthemum. Mother Wind said, pointing to the place where the water was pumped on the other side of the yard.
"I, I want to freeze a lot, take it out and sell it, I want to give money." Wang Yan explained anxiously.
Knowing the situation at the child's home, Mother Feng didn't say anything, just touched the child's head. I sighed in my heart, this child is less than ten years old, so sensible. Mother Feng let the child wash first, she went to boil the water, and as for the money, she would definitely not accept it.
I went to the house and took out the popsicle boxes that Feng Junhui bought from the Internet and washed them, and then Feng's mother went to boil a pot of boiling water. Soak the chrysanthemums washed by the little girl in boiling water, and then put a few handfuls of wolfberries and a few tablespoons of rock sugar. Bring the brewed chrysanthemum tea to the air conditioner to cool. Then slowly put the brewed chrysanthemum tea in the popsicle box with the little girl, and then put it in rows to the freezer.
"This business, Aunt Zhang and you are a partner, you come early tomorrow morning to sell it, after selling the money, Aunt Feng will take a commission, okay?" Mother Feng said, this child has a lot of self-esteem, you don't want to take anything, she is not happy, it is estimated that she will not come to freeze popsicles in the future.
In the evening, when Feng Junhui came back for dinner, Feng's mother specially explained to him that if Wang Yan went to their Chinese medicine hall to sell popsicles tomorrow, let him take care of it. The best thing is to ask the staff at the Chinese medicine hall and the health hall to buy more food.
Early the next morning, Wang Yan came over with her little lanzi. Mother Wind gave her the frozen fifteen popsicles along with the box. Then he put a bottle of frozen ice in her basket to make sure the popsicles didn't melt quickly.
"You bring so much first, it's still early, it's not necessarily easy to sell, don't be discouraged." Mother Feng also comforted Wang Yan twice.
"Aunt Zhang, I'll share your money if I sell it!" Wang Yan is quite confident.
"Don't sell it for less than three yuan a piece, they asked you and said that this wolfberry is a medicinal herb produced in my family's mountain." Feng Junhui specially explained to Wang Yan.
"I see, Brother Junhui." Wang Yan nodded, for Feng Junhui, now the people in the village already have an inexplicable trust.
The popsicle for three yuan a piece is still made by herself, although Wang Yan thinks the price is high, but when she mentions the things to the Chinese medicine hall, she still shouts this price. This little girl, don't look a little shy, but she can also let go of her face when she really does things, and the crisp shouting makes everyone in line turn their attention to her.
"Chrysanthemum wolfberry rock candy popsicles? It's so strange that the little girl will get me one. A young man listened to the shouting and said, "Three dollars a piece is not too expensive.
"Brother, the patient can't eat too cold." Wang Yan said while pulling the popsicle out neatly. This popsicle stick was cut out of a branch by Daddy Wind's own hands.
"This little girl is kind." An old man next to him praised.
"I'll number my grandfather, I'm fine." The young man replied happily.
After taking the popsicle, the young man took it and took a bite, the sweetness of the chrysanthemum, the wolfberry with a special taste, and the taste of rock sugar. Although it was morning, it was not cool anymore, and after this bite, the young man felt a cool breath spread from his mouth to his whole body.
The anxiety of queuing and the sun that had already shown his face above his head did not make him feel upset. After eating the popsicle in a few bites, the man said, "Give me ten more!" โ
"Brother, this can't be put aside for a long time." Wang Yan was very happy to hear that he bought ten sticks, but after thinking about it, he didn't do it, but shook his head and refused.
"It's also the first time I've encountered sellers who are worried that buyers won't be able to store it if they buy it back. But I have a refrigerator in the car, I'll put it in the refrigerator, don't worry, I can't melt it. This popsicle, take it out and eat two sticks when the sun is poisonous, that's cool! The young man said.
Nowadays, there is an unwritten rule in the queue outside the Chinese medicine hall, no matter who you are, as long as you are queuing to get the number, the patient cannot line up, and the family members generally come. There is no mention of asking bodyguards or invited people to line up, as if this is enough sincerity. And those who come in front are like this, and those who come behind also consciously obey it.
When queuing, you generally do not leave the queue unless necessary. If you want to leave the team, you will find someone who comes with you to replace you for a while. The order of the team is still very orderly, and there is no such thing as cutting the line.
"I'll go find the aunts and give you a small bag to fill it in." Wang Yan immediately said happily, there is a refrigerator in the car, she thinks that the current person is really powerful. Hurriedly ran to a family seller in the village and asked for a clean plastic bag.
With the publicity of this young man, many people are curious to try the taste of this popsicle. Especially when Wang Yan said that this wolfberry belonged to Feng Junhui's family, everyone's enthusiasm was even higher. The remaining four were sold out immediately. Wang Yanle ran to Feng Junhui's house, ready to bring the rest over.
"Aunt Zhang, I just sold out, and there are still many people who want to buy it. Aunt Zhang, I still want to freeze a little to sell. Wang Yan said happily and handed the empty fifteen popsicle boxes to Mother Feng.
"The girl is really amazing, she sold out so quickly." Mother Feng was also quite surprised, she still ate popsicles in the morning, and the price was not low.
"They all like their aunt's wolfberries, saying that they are delicious, and even eating popsicles can relieve the heat." Wang Yan said that when she heard everyone praise Feng Junhui's things for being good, she knew that the credit was mainly for Feng Junhui's wolfberry.
"It's also a girl, you are diligent and sweet-mouthed, and if you want to change people, no matter how good things are, they may not be able to sell. Girl, I haven't eaten yet, my aunt's breakfast has just been served, let's eat two bites before going. "Mother Feng didn't deny that her own things were good, and she was proud of the good things her son planted!
"My grandma is cooking at home, I can go back to eat these after I sell them, and now there are many people who buy them, and they will be better soon." Wang Yan hurriedly refused.
However, for such a young child, if he doesn't stay at home to eat at this point, Mother Feng also feels that he can't get by. After several invitations, I finally said that it was moved, how could a ten-year-old child talk about her. In the end, Wang Yan still had a full meal at Feng Junhui's house, and then carried the basket and took the remaining popsicles to the Chinese medicine hall to sell.
I went back to her grandmother first, and then I went to the Chinese medicine hall. As soon as Wang Yan arrived, many people came around, three or five pieces, and quickly bought her popsicles here. Many people who have been here in the last two or three days have also told her that she must come to sell popsicles tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Wang Yan also agreed in one bite.
After selling things, Wang Yan didn't go back first, but went to the side of the mountain to pick a lot of wild chrysanthemums to use, carrying a basket full of them, and then went to Feng Junhui's house.
"You kid, why did you go to the side of the mountain alone?" Looking at Wang Yan's basket of wild chrysanthemums and calculating the time, Mother Feng knew that she hurried to the side of the mountain after selling popsicles.
"There is a village aunt and grandmother picking flowers on the side of the mountain, and it doesn't matter. Aunt Zhang, this money for you is the money that should be given to you for selling popsicles today. "Wang Yan sold fifty popsicles, which is one hundred and fifteen. She gave a hundred dollars to Mother Wind, and ten dollars and twenty dollars in change.
Mother Feng personally helped to do it, so she naturally knew how much money she sold, and looked at the hundred yuan, but she didn't accept it: "You didn't use up yesterday's white chrysanthemum, and there are still leftovers today, so my aunt wants you these white chrysanthemums." It just so happens that my aunt also wants to drink this tea these days, if you don't think it's enough, pick some wild โกโก for your aunt one day, and come back, and my aunt will dry it and make two pillows.
But you can't go into the mountains alone, you have to be watched. Otherwise, my aunt will know, and I won't help you freeze popsicles in the future. You can collect this money and save it, and our girl will go to college in the future. โ
"But we've got ...... said."
"Can't you sell this wild chrysanthemum for money? The aunt should have received the money. My wolfberries and rock candy are worthless, no one eats them at home, and they are about to have worms. Mother Feng hurriedly said.
"You kid is stubborn, your aunt will take it if you want it, study hard, and in the future, like your brother Junhui, you will be admitted to university and have a great future, and you will repay your aunt again." A villager who came to the online store to deliver goods next to him also spoke up to persuade him. This Wang Yan's family is hard-boned, and they will not open their mouths to complain to others on weekdays. The family has a good temperament, and the relationship with the neighbors is good, Wang Yan studies hard, and is the first in the class every year.
"Thank you, auntie!" With tears in her eyes, Wang Yan bent down deeply to thank her.
"This kid is still so polite. Come, my aunt will take you to do what you want to sell tomorrow, I just washed a few dozen popsicle boxes for you, it's really not enough, let's use a bowl, the bowl is bigger, let's sell five yuan. Mother Feng hurriedly pulled the person up.
In the next few days, Wang Yan sent several large baskets of wild โกโก to Mother Feng every day, until Mother Feng repeatedly said that she really couldn't use it, so she stopped. Wang Yan's grandmother also caught two of the family's big white geese and chickens, Feng Junhui's family doesn't charge money, and they don't really take advantage of it all the time.
Actually, if you want to say that the wild chrysanthemums picked by Wang Yancai are really worth a lot of money, but the help provided by Feng Junhui's family is not something that can be measured. For example, popsicle sticks and rock candy were later prepared by Wang Yan's family. It's a popsicle box, and Feng's mother asked Feng Junhui to buy another batch for Wang Yan on the Internet.
Although the people in the village envy Wang Yan for making money with her methods, no one wants to rob her business. In a short period of time, Wang Yan's chrysanthemum wolfberry rock sugar popsicle was sold in the Chinese medicine hall. After a long time, Wang Yan kept this incident in her heart, and she has always respected Mother Feng.
