Chapter 443: Jade Dragon Cold Drink
Entering June, the cold drinks in the palace could not be supplied no matter how hard they tried. All the milk is used to make popsicles, ice cream, ice cream. In particular, there are two kinds of popsicles and ice cream, and the people who line up until it gets dark will not disperse. More pro-soldiers joined the ranks of making ice cream and popsicles. The guests who enjoyed hot and cold drinks in the lobby were waiting for their seats. During this period, Yun'er successfully tried to make a variety of popsicles, ice cream, and ice cream, and launched a series of iced tea varieties such as black iced tea, green iced tea, and flower iced tea. There are also large bowls of iced tea that are suitable for the most basic people, all of which are chilled on top of white ice. There are not many types of popsicles, such as "Cool Heart", "Mung Bean Ice Brick", "Snow Plow", "Old Street", etc., but the sales volume is the largest. In particular, the popular "Thoxin Liang" and "Mung Bean Ice Bricks" are almost the same as not asking for money, and some people cheer as soon as the cart with popsicles arrives. Ice cream also sells well, with a lot more variety than popsicles. For example, monochrome, two-color, three-color ice cream, vanilla ice cream, peanut kernel ice cream, walnut ice cream, almond ice cream, chestnut kernel ice cream, pineapple ice cream, apple ice cream, cherry ice cream, raisin ice cream, candied ice cream, bean ** ice cream, red bean ice cream, mung bean ice cream, etc., etc. These ice creams are a favorite of large families. Many large families and eunuchs have servants waiting at the door of the Yulong cold drink shop to queue up to buy. New varieties are coming on the market one after another, and more people come to buy popsicles and ice cream. Many civilian families just can't buy food often, but also have to try something new.
As for ice cream, it is used by high-class people. These people were savoring the summer cold drinks from exotic lands in the private room upstairs of the Jade Dragon Cold Drink, and they were also talking about the background of the Jade Dragon Cold Drink from time to time. The well-informed also boldly flaunted his various speculations to his partners:
"If you want me to see, this cold drink shop is opened by the emperor, and it doesn't need any font size at all."
"No, no, no. The real shopkeeper here is surnamed Tian, which may be a relative of the emperor or the word Yulong. The emperor should be Huanglong. ”
"Far-fetched. I heard that this Boss Tian is from Rui Wangfu, maybe this deal is really Rui Wangye's. Did you know? This Rui prince has never been to the court, but he is more powerful than any prince in the previous dynasty and has saved the emperor's life. ”
"Shhhh Don't talk about state affairs, but don't talk about which prince. ”
In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was eating new popsicles and ice cream while discussing Yulong cold drinks with the emperor. The emperor said to the queen mother with his eyebrows fluttering: "Do you know the emperor's mother? Before the cold drink shop even opened, there was a long queue waiting. It turned out that Erchen thought that the emperor's side Fujin was a little woman who was interested in eating in a foreign place, and learned a little skill in making cold fruits, and opened a small shop to sell them, where did he think that he could be so prosperous? Listening to Wu Liangfu said, the people in line are all far away and throw a big tail, don't look at the thin profits, the smaller the profits, the more sales, it is a big entry. This imperial brother of mine is so good to his son! Such skills are not kept quietly, and they are used to earn money for the treasury of the sons......"
"Yes, Lord Rui is the emperor's great nobleman, and that cloud girl has been like this for so many years. It's a pity that she is a Han woman. ”
"Huang Eniang, what do you mean ......"
"What's the point of Eniang, I just think it's a pity, if Yun Yatou is a girl full of people, she will be able to participate in the draft that year. Such an outstanding person will definitely be favored by the emperor, even if he can't be the queen, he should have a concubine. E-Niang heard that the little woman of your second brother is better than your sister Jinxiu. Such a capable woman should belong to the emperor, and I don't know how Fuyou can have such a great blessing. ”
"How can you think so? Yun'er's sister-in-law is the woman of the second emperor's brother! Isn't the matter of marriage arranged by God? The second emperor brother has this blessing. ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "What the emperor said is very true. But he was saying in his heart: "Concubine Dong E is still your brother's woman, why did you snatch it?" But she didn't dare to say such things, don't talk shortly, don't hit people in the face. The emperor took Concubine Dong E into the palace, not only Concubine Dong E was an out-and-out person in the eyes of people with very traditional concepts, but even the emperor's prestige collapsed a lot.
In the "Jade Dragon Cloth Village", Tian Liang and Nalan sent another batch of fabric products, which are counting.
"How? Big brother, are you optimistic about the goods you sell here? Tian Liang said to Ruiqian.
"Look at the new fence I opened."
"What's wrong with the fence? Nothing. ”
"It's gone, isn't there nothing? I don't know what happened to those women, walking around the cloth village every day, as soon as there is a new kind of goods, they will automatically queue up like no money, with a look of surprise. As soon as they came to me, they were lively, and their screams were piercing. That day, I brought back the materials you sent to make cloth for my eldest brother's family, and guess what? My daughter's screams are so louder than these women! ”
Tian Liang and Nalan couldn't stop laughing when they were amused by Ruiqian.
The reputation of the two merchants of Yulong Buzhuang and Yulong hot and cold drinks began to rise, especially the new Yulong hot and cold drinks, which were introduced in time for the hot summer season, and many varieties of cold drinks were appreciated and worshiped by dignitaries. This is not a person chasing the wind and shadows, it is indeed delicious. The kind of "ice cream" made in the court of the Yuan Dynasty was still very primitive, so it was strictly forbidden for the common people to use it, so how could it be comparable to the ice cream made by Yun'er? Softer than ice, harder than milk, digging and eating with a small spoon that resembles ivory, sweet, fragrant, cold and fine, suitable for any age and any social class. The hall of the Jade Dragon's cold drink was full of people enjoying the cold drink, buzzing like a beehive. The waiters were busy with windmills, wiping their sweat with the towels they slung over their shoulders from time to time. The upstairs private room was also full of distinguished guests. There are also times when booking a table in advance, and some even come to give red envelopes to the shopkeeper.
It turns out that most of the people who buy cold drinks here take them home to use, and most of them are patronized by men. It's good now, even Miss Boudoir has come to taste it.
The ice cream, ice cream and popsicles frozen in the refrigerator were first transported by Yun'er to the empty house in the west annex building of the Tianjing Building, and then sent by Tian Liang and Nalan to the cart at the door by tricycle, and mixed with Suo Qing's cooking, so no one knew a little bit about the secret room. There is more than half a foot thick white ice under the box containing popsicles and ice cream for refrigeration, and the hot and cold drinks sent to Yulong will not melt away.
The newly married pro-soldier Guan Suo Qing is responsible for the cold drink on the ground, which is to make ice with saltpeter. Suo Qing has always been vigorous and resolute in his work, which is related to his martial arts practice. Now he is cared for by Lin Qing, every day when he goes home, he has a hot and fragrant meal, his clothes are torn, some people sew them, some people wash them when they are dirty, and even his daughter has an extra one. Suo Qing completely loved Zhu'er as if she were her own daughter. In a word, it's nice to have a warm home!
Yulong's cold drink products are not just bought and made, and they are endlessly busy. Instead, there is a quota, and 8,000 popsicles, 8,000 ice creams, and 4,000 ice creams are made every day. After completing this quota, the processing personnel will finish work, clean up the site and go back to rest and sleep.
It is very troublesome to make cold drinks, and you have to deal with soup and water. Milk, sugar, if you don't care about it, the first thing you need to do in the summer is to attract flies. But the part that Suo Qing is responsible for on the ground, even in the process of operation, also pays attention to environmental hygiene, the workshop is very clean, there is not a single fly and mouse.
Yun'er's small kitchen renovation is in full swing, and when the kitchen is completed, you can try to make pastries. Mix pastries with cold drinks, that's the mood.
The two shopkeepers of Qiu and Sang opposite Ruiqian's Jade Dragon Cloth Village looked at the Jade Dragon Cloth Village opposite every day and sighed and sighed with emotion. It's really "people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away." In the past few years, this shopkeeper Chen has been obscure, and this year he made his fortune. How did those lasalines keep coming? How big does that Rui Wang Ye have to supply the shopkeeper Chen like this?
Qiu and Sang's shopkeepers are close to door to door, and the two of them are looking at Yulong Buzhuang at the door. Envy and jealousy, plus helplessness. The two of them don't even dare to do anything unfavorable to Chen Ruiqian now, their heads matter. But I still don't feel very comfortable: according to the years, the business fabric of this shopkeeper Chen has only been ten years at most, and the two of them have been wandering on this Qianmen Street for nearly 30 years! Looking at the shopkeeper Chen, it is because he has a good cousin who is married to a prince Chitose, and this business is doing and selling cloth is booming!
"You're very idle, huh?" The shopkeeper of Buzhuang Wu, who was separated by five or six houses, came over with a fan and came to the door. The shopkeeper hurriedly put the shopkeeper Wu into the house.
"It's hot, so I won't go in. Looking at the other side, you're angry, right? ”
"Does eye breath work? People are the right time, the right place, and the right people, who are we? ”
"You have the kung fu to complain, you might as well think of a rut and trip him up."
"Dude, be careful! We don't want to go to prison in the Criminal Department. ”
"Who made you fight so openly? Can't boil frogs in warm water? ”
"What do you mean?"
"I've heard it, I've heard it, but I don't know if it's true. I heard that ......" The voice of the shopkeeper Wu couldn't be lowered: "I heard that the queen mother in the palace is not very optimistic about Lord Rui." You also know that everything in this world is thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river. Maybe when ......."
"Stop! Stop! Whether we are in Hedong or Hexi, it is the right thing to keep our heads, and we will not mix anything else. ”
"Look at you. Didn't I hear that? ”
"And what do you mean by boiled frogs in warm water?"
"It depends on how you come to your senses, farewell!"
Qiu and Sang, the two shopkeepers, realized that they were not useful for a long time. Although he thought that the Jade Dragon Buzhuang could collapse, he did not dare to take any action against the shopkeeper Chen. The whiplash wound on his body is still painful, and the small shop is also on the verge of closing, where can he still have the ability to compete with Yulong Buzhuang?
"I said that the shopkeeper Sang, let's have as big a bowl as we eat, this shopkeeper Wu wants to use the two of us as gunmen."
"I know, I know, we can't afford to take a wrong step."
"Why are the two shopkeepers exposed to the sun?"
"Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper Chen? Why are you so idle, hurry up in the house please! Qiu and Sang hurriedly put Ruiqian into the house.
Rui Qian entered the store, and did not say hello, and said straight to the point: "I have been thinking about it for several days, although the store is mainly engaged in cotton cloth, there are also satin on the counter. For example, the chemical fiber silk sold a few days ago, although it is not woven from silk, it is also called silk, which may hinder the sale of silk and satin of the two, which is very unpleasant. I thought of a way to compensate you two, and said to the two? ”
As soon as the two of them heard this, there was a smile on their faces: "Shopkeeper Chen, please speak, I'll listen to you." ”
While operating fabrics, the shop also sells some cloth products to the house, that is, those sachets and purses, and they can earn dozens of dollars more every day. If the two of them are willing to do it, they can teach the practice and provide a little accessory, that is, the embellishments on the sachet and purse. If you do it and pass the inspection, you will be sold in the next store and the store. There is no charge for the following. You will sell as much as you sell in the next store. The premise is that it must be qualified, and the shoddy production is not even collected, and I don't know what the two will do? It's just a compensation for the two of you, okay? ”
"Huh? Is there such a good thing? Chen's shopkeeper is really beautiful! Our family members are very idle, can do, can do, and invite Mrs. Chen to come and guide! ”
"Then it's decided. When the car from the house came to the store to deliver the goods, the manager of the house begged the two of them for a favor. The cousin who was in charge was probably going to agree. ”
"Thank you, thank you! You say your cousin is the head of the house? It's amazing, so young. ”
"I wonder how many family members of both of you can participate in this matter? We have to give a processing quota according to the number of people. The silk used in the fabric will be solved by the two themselves, after all, you are a silk village, this raw material fee will be deducted below, and you will also save some money, right? ”
"Excellent, excellent, Mr. Chen is really our ......"
"I won't say much politely, I wonder how many family members of the two of you participated?"
Shopkeeper Qiu said: "There are my wife, two daughters-in-law and a daughter-in-law to participate. ”
The shopkeeper said: "There are two daughters and a daughter-in-law to participate. ”
"Okay, remember it in the next place, tomorrow I will come over to guide and say goodbye."
"Shopkeeper Chen walks slowly."
"I said Lao Qiu, we're not dreaming, are we?"
"I'll pinch your face."
"Go! Pinch your own! Hahaha......"
This was the first time the two of them laughed happily out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and the haze in their hearts finally dispersed. The two of them began to mumble again: "I said Lao Sang, I heard that the purses, sachets, handbags, and delicate gadgets sold in Chen's shopkeeper can also earn hundreds of dollars a day." Even if the shopkeeper Chen gives us 100 wen, he can increase the income of several taels of silver a month! ”
"You're a good scorer. Profiteers, big profiteers with all beards and tails. ”
"We worked hard to make money, and we didn't harm anyone, what kind of profiteers are we? Do you think you are praising me? ”
