The reason why the cold drink shop is opened in the East Market is because it is close to the Imperial City, and the surrounding squares are mostly the residences of the royal family and nobles and dignitaries, such as the palace of Li Su and Li Ke is not far from the East Market, and it is precisely for this reason that the East Market is mainly engaged in luxury goods, although the price of cold drinks is not high, but it is relatively speaking, it is not something that ordinary people can eat, so it can have a larger market in the East Market.

may be influenced by Li Su, Wang Xijun, this girl knows the importance of advertising, and when the cold drink shop has not yet opened, she has already set up a stall at the door of the store, and distributes cold drinks to passers-by for free every day. In such a hot weather, even ice cubes are a rare valuable, not to mention a very delicious cold drink? So it's only been a few days Chapter 63 Free Popsicle Time, almost everyone knows that there is a cold drink shop in the East Market that is going to open, and the price is very cheap, although not everyone can afford it, but at least people with a better family can still come to eat it once in a while.

It is precisely because the fame has been played, so when it opened today, the entire cold drink shop was about to be crowded, fortunately, the ice cream did not have to be eaten in the store, Li Su had already taught Wang Xijun how to make the egg roll, as long as the ice cream was placed on the egg roll, and then you could take it in your hand and eat while walking, there were many windows on the walls around the cold drink shop, specializing in this kind of egg roll ice cream, there were a bunch of people in front of each window, and the store was also overcrowded, but the order was not bad, After all, everyone knows that the backers behind this store are extremely tough, who wouldn't make trouble here without a long eye?

Li Shimin: When they came, they saw this kind of situation. Looking at the cold drink shop in front of him that was almost overwhelmed by the crowd, Li Su was also secretly worried, they didn't say hello to Wang Xijun before they came, so they didn't book a seat, looking at the situation in front of them, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a seat in the evening.

"Wow~! The business is so hot, it is worthy of the idea that the sixth brother came up with! Contrary to Li Su's Chapter 63 Free Popsicle Hurry, Qinghe and Li Zhi seemed very excited, after all, this is their shop, the more hot the business, the higher their income, how can they not be happy?

"Father, I'll go find someone and ask him to arrange a seat for us." Li Su suddenly saw that the little guy who greeted the guests outside was very familiar, it seemed to be someone from his house, although most of the people in the cold drink shop were recruited from outside, but Wang Xijun still transferred a group of people from his house, after all, it was really uneasy to put an outsider in some positions.

Li Shimin was holding his son to watch the excitement, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Li Su, he waved his hand and asked him to arrange it, he didn't have to worry about these things at all, just arrange it with Li Su and the people around him.

Li Su got out of the car and walked to the cold drink shop with two guards, the little guy was sharp-eyed, and when he saw Li Su at once, he was immediately startled, and he didn't care about greeting the guests, so he ran up quickly and saluted: "See the villain...... Uh~ Six Sons! This little guy is very clever, knowing that Li Su doesn't like to expose his identity outside, so he immediately changed his words.

"Well, where is Xijun?" Li Su has a good impression of this little guy, he looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is clever enough, if he can cultivate it well, he should be a good talent.

"Qiyu Sixth Son, because there are too many people today, Miss Wang personally sits in the courtyard behind the store to dispatch." The little guy replied very respectfully.

Li Su also knew that in today's situation, Wang Xijun must be too busy to get out, but there is no need to alarm her for such a trivial matter as arranging a seat, Li Su smiled and instructed the little girl: "Since this is the case, don't alarm her, you can help me arrange a seat!" ”

"Yes, the villain will do it right away!" The little guy agreed, and immediately turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Li Su suddenly stopped him, "What's your name?" ”

Hearing Li Su ask his name, this little guy immediately showed an ecstatic smile on his face, lowered his head and bowed down and replied: "The sixth son of Qiyu, the villain's surname is Yang, and he is ten at home, so everyone calls him Yang Shi." ”

"Yang Shi?" Li Su was slightly surprised, this name immediately reminded him of another person, so he asked, "Who are you Yang Jiu who can make wine?" "Yang Jiu was the steward of the Wangfu Distillery before, but after the distillery was built, Li Su sent him to be responsible for the most critical distillation process, and now he is also one of the most important stewards in the palace.

"Qiyu Sixth Son, that's the villain's brother, there are a total of ten brothers in the villain's family, and I am the last." Yang Shi replied.

"Oh? I didn't expect you two brothers to work in my house? Li Su smiled, "You go and do something, I'll wait in the carriage over there." ”

"Yes!" Yang Shi agreed, and then retreated.

After watching Yang Shi leave, Li Su returned to the carriage, but saw Li Zhi and several of their little guys sticking their heads out, looking at what was being discussed not far ahead, Qinghe saw Li Su and immediately shouted: "Sixth brother, come and see, what are you doing over there?" ”

Li Su followed her finger and found that there were two more cars at the door of the cold drink shop, the style was very peculiar, it looked like a big box with two wheels, there was a long queue in front of the car, most of them were children, and there was a guy from a cold drink shop standing behind the car, who was handing out popsicles to these people.

"Oh, those are free popsicles from cold drink shops, and most of the people in line are poor kids who can't afford ice cream." Li Su turned his head and said to Qinghe. Most of the children in the queue were dressed in plain or even shabby clothes, in stark contrast to the affluent who went on a frenzy to buy ice cream.

"What is a popsicle?" The son was still young, and he only noticed the popsicle in Li Su's mouth, so he asked.

"A popsicle is an ice made of water and goat's milk with a little honey, and an exposed stick is frozen in the ice to make it easy to hold in your hands." Li Su sat on the side of the carriage, hugged his son on his lap and said. The Tang Dynasty consumed dairy products extensively, but it was still dominated by goat's milk, and the milk production was not high. In addition, Li Su also noticed that Li Shimin in the car showed a thoughtful expression, not knowing what he was thinking?

"Is it delicious?" The son then asked.

"Well, it's not as good as ice cream, but it tastes good." Well, Li Su lied, although the free popsicle was added with milk and honey, but for cost considerations, the proportion of water was much higher, so it tasted light and tasteless, far less than the popsicles with flavor and saccharin added in later generations, of course, this popsicle is much safer than it.

"Sixth brother, what do you think those children are doing?" At this moment, suddenly Gao Yang pointed to a corner next to the cold drink shop and asked. Li Su looked up and found that the child who had just lined up to receive the popsicle immediately ran to the corner after pouring the popsicle, and handed the popsicle in his hand to a person who looked like a small businessman, and the small businessman passed some copper coins to each child, and the child who got the copper coins immediately ran away happily.

Li Su's heart sank when he saw this, and he said that the children of poor families were in charge of the house early, and these children in front of him were like this, although these popsicles were free, but these children were still reluctant to eat, and would rather take them out in exchange for some copper coins, which they might stay for themselves to buy something they liked, or they might give it to their parents and family, but no matter what they do with the money, in the eyes of those children, it is better than being greedy for a cool popsicle.

Li Su didn't know how to explain to Gao Yang for a while, Qinghe and Li Zhi were pampered since childhood, and it was impossible for them to understand the hardships of poor people, no wonder they didn't understand the actions of those children? However, Li Su finally thought about it and told the truth, after all, it is not a bad thing to let them get in touch with the people's suffering earlier, especially Li Zhi, who still has a lot of hope of being an emperor in the future, I don't know how can I be a good emperor?

After listening to Li Su's explanation, Li Zhi, Qinghe, and Gao Yang all nodded thoughtfully, and even the son-in-law seemed to understand something, and asked in a milky voice: "Sixth brother, are they like us, and they also sell popsicles because of lack of money?" ”

Uh~, Li Su was stunned, his son's words sounded fine, but Li Su felt that something seemed to be wrong, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find anything wrong, although they made some different money from those poor children, but the motive was exactly the same, and they all did it because of lack of money.

At this moment, Li Shimin also got out of the car, glanced at the children in the distance very heavily, and then looked at his children, and sighed slightly, although Datang is rich and strong, but the gap between the rich and the poor cannot be eliminated, some people are naturally poor, he knows this truth better than anyone else, but seeing those children who are reluctant to eat even a popsicle, he still inevitably has some emotion in his heart.

At this moment, Yang Shi from the cold drink shop quickly ran to the side of the car, bowed down and saluted Li Su, "Sixth Prince, a seat has been prepared for you, but the prince of Jiangxia heard that you were coming, and forced the villain to invite you to sit together." ”

"Oh, Brother Jing Heng is also there?" Li Su was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet Li Jingheng here, "Who is there over there?" Li Su asked again, if it was him and Qinghe, but there was also an emperor father, in case there was someone on Li Jingheng's side who shouldn't be there, wouldn't it make him uncomfortable?

"The prince only brought a little girl, who seems to be the county lord." Yang Shi replied very respectfully.

"Well, well, you lead the way!" When Li Su heard that it was Li Jingheng's sister, he immediately remembered the little girl named Li Xueyan he had seen at the Five Kings Banquet, although she was only ten years old, she was beautiful and cute, and she was very well-behaved and smart, which made Li Su have a deep impression of this little cousin.

Li Shimin also heard the conversation between Li Su and Yang Shi, he knew that Li Daozong had a chubby son, and he had met a few times, but the impression was not very deep, and when he heard the other party invite them to sit together, Li Shimin did not object, after all, they were all family, and he was also very dependent on Li Daozong, since the other party was his son, what did it matter if he saw him himself?

So under the leadership of Yang Shi, the surrounding guards squeezed out of the way, and their group finally entered the cold drink shop!!
