Chapter 491: Popsicles

It is understandable that prostitutes and girls buy popsicles to cool off, but as for how to flirt, please believe in the creativity of the ancient people. It is said that in order to sell popsicles, some students made a sales plan for ice and fire, which was not popular in Qinhuai River.

It is only said that it is estimated that no student dares to admit that it is his own creativity, otherwise he will definitely be broken by Zhao Desheng.

A group of Liba, who had just finished unloading the boat, were sweating profusely with heat, only to feel like a fire in their chests, and saw a student in a green shirt carrying a small wooden box shouting and passing by, so he shouted, "Don't hurry away, that little scholar, let's get a few popsicles to taste." ”

"Okay!" Ping An happily replied and put down the wooden box, "Do the uncles want to eat cream or bean paste?" ”

The foreman took off his sleeveless vest and wiped his sturdy chest, and quipped, "You think we look like people who can afford to eat cream and bean paste?" The cream costs five wen, the bean paste needs three wen, and we resist a day's goods, which is at most twenty wen, which is really not black-hearted. ”

"Uncle can't say that, you get what you pay for, it's a blessing to be able to eat a bite of cold ice on this hot day, and you're too expensive."

"There are still learned people who can speak, but it's useless to say it nicely, just give us white water rock candy!"

"Poor ghost!" Ping An muttered quietly, took out the popsicle from the wooden box, carefully unwrapped the wax paper, and put the paper neatly into the box, where there was already a small stack.

Ping An pinched the wooden handle under the popsicle and handed it to the foreman, "One penny!" ”

The foreman said dissatisfiedly: "You scholar is really a picker, why don't you give me the paper, and keep it to wipe your butt." ”

"There are things to wipe your buttocks, you have eaten the popsicle and wiped your butt with the wooden stick in your hand!"

"Haha...... Really! The foreman laughed, and the other Liba laughed too.

Ping An sold a total of seven, not everyone was willing to spend a penny to eat popsicles, Ping An happily stuffed seven yellow Hongwu Tongbao into a full purse.

There wasn't much popsicle left, so Ping An took a badly melted one and stuffed it into his mouth, and went to the ice cellar set up by the Ma family in the city to replenish the stock, and just around the corner, there was a rampage with him.

Ping An grinned and rubbed his head, and raised his eyes to look at the academy students who were also wearing green shirts and carrying small wooden boxes, "Oh, Huang Fugui, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" ”

Huang Fugui also grinned, "I'm sorry, when I passed by here just now, I saw a big ship unloading, so I went to the street next to it and took a turn. Now it seems that you are afraid that you have robbed this deal. ”

"It's too greedy, if I were to be on your side. Why are you alone, the yellow that is always with you. ”

"Brother Zicheng called Huang Xiang not yellow, if you say anything disrespectful again, I will be unkind to you." Huang Fugui has received a lot of help from Huang Zicheng, and he respects and appreciates him in his heart, and he is naturally not happy to hear Huang Fugui say this.

Ping'an pouted and said: "I'm not talking about Huang Xiang, it's you who listened to it and complained about me." ”

Huang Zicheng, the name of the Xiang, with the word line.

Huang Zicheng is actually a very pure person, this name matches him very well, and it doesn't sound so good when he only calls it with his surname, especially the southern dialect has no tongue rolling, it really doesn't sound any different, no wonder he wants to replace his name with words.

Looking at Huang Fugui's sad face, Ping An knew that he had a lot of popsicles left, "Do you have a lot left?" ”

Huang Fugui nodded, "There are a lot of leftovers, and they have begun to melt, and all of them are cream." ”

"You don't get all the cream, no wonder you can't sell it, you kid is too greedy, and a few people in the ordinary people are willing to spend five cents to eat popsicles."

"I just want to make a few more dollars, and I don't want to spend my dad anymore...... Money in the family. Huang Fugui's fist in his sleeve was clenched tightly.

Ping An sighed, "For the sake of seeing that you are still sensible and filial, I will help you." You are blessed and your father and mother can be filial, it's really enviable......"

Ping'an took Huang Fugui along the alley not far away, and he slammed a few feet at a closed small courtyard, and there was a slight sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and after a while, there was an eye peeking out of the crack in the door.

Ping'an scolded: "Look at what, if you don't open the door again, Lao Tzu will go to Yingtianfu to expose you." ”

With a squeak, the courtyard door was opened, and there were more than a dozen big men standing under the small porch, all shirtless, with a face full of flesh, fierce and vicious, and he knew at a glance that he was not a good person, Huang Fugui subconsciously hid back.

Who knew that when those big men saw peace, they immediately bowed their waists, and said with a bitter face: "My grandfather, why are you here again, the little ones have eaten popsicles since they entered the summer and even their intestines are about to pull out, so you can spare us." ”

"Lao Tzu told you to buy popsicles, who told you to eat them, and you still blame Lao Tzu for your own death!" Ping An glanced at Huang Fugui, "Give them all your popsicles." ”

Huang Fugui opened the small wooden box and lifted the small quilt that was insulated inside, took out the popsicles inside, and sent the popsicles to the big man one by one with trembling hands.

Ping'an said: "Five cents a piece, hurry up and take the money out." ”

The big man who took the lead said with a bitter face: "Isn't it a penny?" How did you get money again? ”

Ping'an said angrily: "The cream is naturally more expensive, it's only a few dollars, in the past, Lao Tzu didn't throw money on you, hurry up and get the money." ”

"The money is not much, but I can't stand you coming several times a day, you haven't taken care of our business for a long time, and that generous Li Gongzi is not here."

"Lao Tzu has changed his ways, he will not gamble in the future, and you should not do that Li Gongzi business, otherwise you will die an ugly death!"

This is actually a gambling house, Lao Zhu was born poor and knew the harm of gambling, so he was strictly forbidden to gamble in the early Ming Dynasty, but with a profit of 1300%, some people risked killing their heads to do it.

Ping An used to play here, and he also brought Li Jinglong here. Since the beginning of summer, I have come often, and I have helped my classmates to sell popsicles that can't be sold here.

The people in the gambling house are naturally not philanthropists, and if they were replaced by others, they would have been strangled to death and thrown into the Qinhuai River. But Ping'an is different, not to mention that he is Lao Zhu's righteous son, even an ordinary student of the academy, they don't dare to start.

The people in the gambling house were quite simple, they didn't count the copper coins one by one, and directly took a small piece of broken silver to Huang Fugui. Ping An nodded with satisfaction, "You have to be more patient, this summer will pass quickly." ”

The thugs of the gambling house on a hot day shivered in unison, and only when they saw Ping'an and Huang Fugui walking away did they say: "Hurry up, let's move the nest tomorrow, otherwise we will have to die this summer, well, this cream popsicle is really not bad." ”

Huang Fugui looked at the piece of silver in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he admired Ping An in his heart, "I didn't expect to be able to do this, I thought this box of cream popsicles was going to be bad in my hands." ”

"It's just a momentary plan, not repeatedly, you still sell popsicles in a down-to-earth manner."

As soon as the two of them came out of the alley, they saw a big boat on the Qinhuai River slowly approaching, and they saw that the boat was full of soldiers with guns, and the big flag on the bow of the boat was waving in the wind, and the word "Mu" was clearly written.
