Chapter 109: Shaved Ice
Xu Jiao was bored lying on the bed.
"System, it's so boring, although this task is not difficult, but it will take a long time, and I feel that I don't have any short-term goals now."
The system replied: "There is no need for the host to follow the tasks issued by the system all the time, the system is only an auxiliary after all, and you have to develop according to your own ideas." ”
Xu Jiao thinks what she said makes sense, so what should she do now? It's so hot in the summer......
Hot?
But she has ice! And she can also make a steady stream of ice cubes.
Coincidentally, there is a saltpeter mine near Zhong Xiang, she secretly used the system plug-in to take a look, the saltpeter mine is amazingly large, it is simply inexhaustible.
Summer is here, what can she do with ice?
If you simply sell ice, it is estimated that half of the people will move back home.
With it, she can sell shaved ice! You can also advertise sugar for sale in the future. When the sugarcane is grown, she makes sugar in large quantities, and she is not talking about ordinary white sugar, but sugar, milk candy, fruit candy, gummies, marshmallows, and so on.
This kind of thing is inherently suitable for selling to nobles and officials, it is beautiful, delicate and delicious, and it is convenient for her to sell it at a high price, at most it is just a good package.
As for the current shaved ice, she plans to open it in the Jiwei House, anyway, the location inside is very large, and she just adds a few tables and sofas.
There was no need for her to open another shop specifically for this seasonal thing.
"System, exchange me for some colored syrup and milk candy fudge marshmallows."
Colored syrup is used to drizzle over the shaved ice, and the rest of the sugar is placed on top for garnish.
Just do it, these things are not expensive, because they are finished products, Xu Jiao only spent five task points to exchange countless catties, and they are almost full of her system warehouse.
"That's too much, I don't have a place to buy anything." Xu Jiao complained that she didn't expect that she could buy so much sugar in five task points, and she knew that she would only buy one task point of sugar, which was too much, and it would only be used up in the Year of the Monkey.
It seems that in the future, I will be a princess of loose sugar instead of a princess of scattered wealth.
Xu Jiao came to Jiweiju, where many people come to buy salt every day, and the flow of people is not a problem.
She first moved some of the candy to the storeroom of Jiweiju and began to look inside the store.
The location of the cabinet at the door is still used to put salt and sell salt, and there is a lot of empty space in the store, so she thinks that she can put seven or eight tables, and put some soft stools.
These are all trivial meanings, she went back and called Ding Rong and described in detail what she wanted.
"The tables and stools should be made exquisitely, and the carvings and so on should be arranged." Xu Jiao commanded.
This kind of thing is very simple, Ding Rong and they did it on the same day.
The next day, Xu Jiao took people and things to Jiweiju, and did not forget to bring a lot of saltpeter to make ice.
As for how to make shaved ice, use a knife, it's not her to cut it anyway.
For this reason, Xu Jiao also specially asked Lin Hai to borrow three soldiers, all of whom had amazing arm strength. Xu Jiao also gave them nicknames, Dali No. 1, Dali No. 2, and Dali No. 3.
Simple, clear and easy to remember, Dali No. 123 is her manpower shaved ice machine.
Xu Jiao deliberately placed ten pots of ice in the store, so that every guest who entered the store could feel cool, and even just passing by the door could feel the cold air.
In such a hot weather, it really attracted customers who took the initiative to enter the store.
This is a small businessman, buying goods outside, just passing by the door of the store, it is too hot and tired, I can't help but come in and have a look.
He had just returned to Zhong Xiang recently, and he was still shocked by Zhong Xiang's changes: the biggest change was the road, which made him more than three times faster than usual.
When he saw this shop, he didn't know what it was selling, but at first glance it was a shop.
"Boss, what is your store selling?" The little businessman came in and saw that it was a young and beautiful girl who was the boss, and although he couldn't believe it, the facts were in front of him.
Everyone in the store listened to this little girl, and there was no doubt that it was the boss.
Xu Jiao took a look, although this person was a little embarrassed, but the clothes he was wearing were of acceptable material, not the coarse linen clothes worn by ordinary people.
So this person should be able to afford her shaved ice.
"This guest hasn't been in Zhongxiang lately, right?" Xu Jiao asked him first.
The little merchant was surprised: "How do you know? His eyes were suspicious, as if he was a little defensive.
Xu Jiao rolled her eyes angrily: "You go to Zhongxiang and ask wherever you want, who doesn't know how much I live?" ”
The state of vigilance of small businessmen has obviously relaxed, and it is not to blame him for being cautious, they are already hard and not easy to do this kind of small business, and they are afraid of being targeted for money and murder when they go out, so their vigilance has always been very high.
"Then what are you doing? Why does the whole Zhongxiang people know? ”
Xu Jiao beckoned to him and motioned for him to follow. She took the three salts out of the cupboard and opened them for him to see.
"We are a few tastes, and we sell salt."
The little businessman's eyes really couldn't take his eyes off anymore, where had he ever seen such good salt?
Although his net worth is not very rich, after all, he has seen a lot of things after so many years of traveling south and north, and this kind of salt is really unprecedented.
No wonder the owner of this shop is so proud of his shop, everyone should know about her shop, and he is also proud of him.
Xu Jiao put the salt back and slapped it to attract the attention of the small businessman.
"You can buy some salt when you go back in a while, but don't you notice that it's cool in our shop?" Xu Jiao asked.
Of course he found out, and if it weren't for this unique coolness, he wouldn't have walked in.
The little merchant looked around and found various basins of ice in the house.
He secretly smacked his tongue, the boss of these flavors is really rich and generous, even rare things like ice can be so extravagant, so he just put a few large pots in the store at will.
I knew that he had just returned from the Chu State, and I heard that the Chu Palace's palace was going to cut the amount of ice.
"The boss is generous, and I am impressed." The little businessman praised Xu Jiao from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Jiao was not modest, accepted his praise calmly, and then promoted his new product.
"Would you like to try our new product, Summer Shaved Ice?" When it comes to new products, Xu Jiao's attitude is much better.
The little merchant didn't know what it was, but poverty prevented him from saying yes.
Nonsense, this shop is extravagant like this, what if that summer shaved ice costs a hundred taels?
Although he can afford it, he will also feel distressed, after all, he worked so hard to earn it back.
"Boss, how much is your summer shaved ice?" He asked.
Xu Jiao thought about it, it's not good if it's too expensive, it's too cheap.
"Five taels per one!"
