"Mother, what is this aunt eating, it seems to be delicious." The children passing by saw the intoxicated appearance of the round aunt, and couldn't help but pull the clothes of the mothers next to them, and said, "Mother, let's go buy some too." ”

"Boy, good, it's too hot. Let's hurry home, my mother will boil rock sugar mung bean water for you to drink. ”

"Hmph, I'm really ignorant." The people in line just heard the mother and son laughing at them, but at this moment the son wanted to eat again, and couldn't help but mock back, "Don't eat the cold shaved ice, what kind of rock sugar mung bean water to drink, I think you are crazy about the heat." ”

"You...... You ......" The mother was so angry that she couldn't speak.

At this moment, someone couldn't help but shout to Aunt Yuanpiao: "Auntie, is your shaved ice delicious?" ”

"Of course it's delicious." Aunt Round covered her cheeks and smiled, "It's a hot day, but my teeth are about to freeze out, hey, don't say it, the feeling of eating ice this summer is cool." ”

"Auntie, why is your bowl of shaved ice green?" Someone saw the difference in the round aunt's bowl, and couldn't help asking, "I see that the bowl that the little brother took just now is red." ”

"Red?" Aunt Round thought for a while and said with a smile, "The red bowl is strawberry-flavored, and my green bowl is melon-flavored." ”

"What is a strawberry?"

"What is a honeydew melon?"

People can't help but wonder, why is it a word that they have never heard before, how many good things are in the hands of this Xia shopkeeper?

"Strawberries and honeydew melons are both one type of fruit." Aunt Round remembered Xia Yan's words just now and repeated, "The strawberry is the red jam you see, and the honeydew melon is the green jam." ”

"And what do these two fruits look like?"

"This ...... I don't know. Aunt Round shook her head, "All I saw was them made of shaved ice." ”

"Is there more than one type of shaved ice?" Suddenly, someone thought of the crux of the matter and hurriedly asked.

"Of course, there is only one kind of shop." Aunt Round glanced at them and smiled proudly, "That is, my eyes are sharp, I saw this shop as soon as it opened, so I saw that except for the little brother present, I am the only one who knows how many kinds of shaved ice there are." ”

"Auntie, don't sell it, say it quickly." Waiting for boredom, people have been making noises, so that they can have more expectations.

One by one, they either wiped their sweat or fanned the wind, if it weren't for this cool breath, they would not have lined up here a long time ago.

Hey, it's not easy to stand in line during these dog days.

"I've probably taken a look, and there are at least ten of them." Seeing that they were in a hurry, Aunt Yuanlu stopped selling Guan Zi and said proudly.

"Ten? Or at least? People looked at each other, "We have so many kinds of fruits in China?" ”

"I listened to Shopkeeper Xia's introduction, there are apple-flavored, watermelon-flavored, pear-flavored, strawberry-flavored and honeydew-melon flavored ones you saw, as well as oranges, grapes, blueberries, mangoes......" Suddenly the round aunt's face turned red, "I don't remember the names of the rest." ”

"Where did all this fruit come from?" The people in line were stunned, what Aunt Round said, they only knew apples, watermelons, pears, and what were the others?

Unconsciously, they are looking forward to the shaved ice on Sweet Island, partly because they really want to eat a bite of ice on this hot summer day, and on the other hand, because they want to see these unheard of fruits.

Even the kid just now, after hearing Aunt Yuan's words, made a fuss in the street, saying that he would ask his mother to buy him a bowl of shaved ice.

The child's mother had no choice but to join the queue and become the madman she said.

In this way, under the happy expressions of all kinds of people who ate shaved ice, more and more people came to line up, and there was ice for sale in the newly opened sweet island of Shopkeeper Xia, and it was also spread by people.

"Miss Yan'er, you are really a blockbuster." Fu Duozhi rushed over when he heard the news, holding a bowl of grape-flavored shaved ice, and sighed while eating.

"Well, when have I ever let you down?" Xia Yan smiled proudly, "Uncle Fu, haven't you heard of it, Xia Yan's product must be a high-quality product." ”

"I've heard, I've heard." Because the weather is too hot, if you eat slowly, the shaved ice will melt quickly, so Fu Duo swallowed it with a wolf, even if he was hurt by the ice, he endured it alive.

After eating the shaved ice, Fu Duozhi glanced at the back kitchen, although he wanted to go in and have a look, but was stopped by Xia Yan, saying that it was her trade secret and could not be shown to anyone.

There was no way, Fu Duozhi could only stand outside and look at the bowls of shaved ice that came out one by one.

Xia Yan is not afraid that the shaved ice will melt if it is taken outside, because these will be sold out as soon as they are put on the table, and the speed of making them will not be able to catch up with the sales.

"Yan'er, it's just that you can get ice." Fu Duozhi still couldn't help the doubts in his heart and chatted with Xia Yan, "But where did you get these fruits that you haven't heard of the name of?" ”

"I said I found it from the foggy mountains, do you believe it?"

Hearing Xia Yan's answer, Fu Duo pursed his lips.

This is obviously perfunctory, and of course he doesn't believe it.

As early as a few years ago, the second son of his family sent many masters to Qin County to explore in the Wubi Mountains.

Although the foggy mountain is quite large, a group of them turned around the mountain for a month to complete the whole mountain, and many people were injured, and even a few of them lost their lives in it.

But this operation was simply in vain, because they didn't find any crops from the Wubi Mountains that had never appeared before, but they found a lot of good medicines for a hundred years, and they could sell a lot of silver, which could be regarded as a little comfort to the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce.

In short, after wasting a lot of manpower and material resources, she didn't find the radish and cabbage that Xia Yan said, and she didn't find any oranges, Fu Duozhi knew that what Xia Yan said before was just a casual excuse, and she was still hiding the real source of these seeds.

After Fu Duozhi learned this, although he was very sad and felt that he treated Miss Yan'er as a friend sincerely, she was unwilling to tell herself anything.

Sad is sad, but he is not angry at all, and even understands what she is doing.

After all, when Xia Yan first came to Ruyizhai, he didn't know him, so it was strange that he could tell the truth.

Even now, there is no need for her to say anything, because although she doesn't have any thoughts about her seeds, she can't guarantee that others won't, so for the sake of Xia Yan, Fu Duozhi has long given up inquiring about this kind of thing.

But there were too many fruits that he hadn't heard of today, and Fu Duozhi felt that his brain was not enough, so he couldn't help but ask again.

But Xia Yan's answer also made him understand that she still didn't want to say it.

Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it, no matter where these things come from, as long as they can let the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce be responsible for selling them.

Fu Duozhi told Xia Yan what she thought in her heart, thinking that she would agree without hesitation as before, but what she never expected was that she actually refused, or without hesitation.

"Yan'er, don't you want to have anything to do with our Ruyi Chamber of Commerce?" Fu Duozhi's expression darkened, but he also understood why Xia Yan would refuse him.

After all, although the second young master of his own family said that he would cooperate with her, he secretly planted oranges behind his back, although the quality was not good, but it was better than nothing, and he also took away some guests.

Although Xia Yan didn't complain about them in the future, Fu Duozhi still felt a little unhappy in his heart.

So he was not surprised by Xia Yan's refusal, no one wanted to hand over so many precious fruits to an unreputable chamber of commerce.

"Uncle Fu, what do you say?" Xia Yan glanced at Fu Duozhi in surprise, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little aggrieved, and hurriedly persuaded, "If I don't cooperate with your Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, who can I go to?" ”

"Then why do you ...... Why ......"

Fu Duozhi was never embarrassed to ask, but Xia Yan understood what he wanted to say.

So he smiled and said, "I just want to change the way these fruits are sold, and it has nothing to do with whether your chamber of commerce is honest or not." ”

Sure enough, she still minded, Fu Duozhi sighed in his heart.

"How do you want to sell these fruits?" Knowing that Xia Yan was already disappointed in them, Fu Duozhi didn't have the face to explain anything, so he could only continue to ask.

"I'm not going to sell fruit directly this time." Xia Yan smiled, "I want to make these fruits into finished products and sell them, such as shaved ice with jam, and snacks with fruits." ”

"But it's very troublesome, you have to keep making snacks to sell, where to sell fruit directly."

"Although the trouble is a little troublesome, there are many benefits in it." Xia Yan smiled, "First, new desserts are constantly being produced, which can increase the sense of expectation of guests, and they won't feel tired of eating only one kind of fruit, and second, if I don't take out those fruits, others will never know what they look like, and they won't be able to get their seeds, so they won't secretly take my fruits to plant." ”

Hearing Xia Yan's words, Fu Duozhi's old face turned red and he scratched his hair in embarrassment.

Fu Duozhi's reaction was completely within Xia Yan's expectations, after such a long time, she believed that Fu Duozhi must have known about the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce stealing her oranges.

In fact, this is not a loss for her, not only will she not earn less money, but it will also help her gain some merits.

After all, the sapling was stolen from her orange tree, and the sapling is also the seed of the next generation, so the orange planted is also considered merit if it is eaten by others.

Although Xia Yan didn't take those oranges to heart, he couldn't forgive the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce's behavior.

If you really want to plant, just say it to yourself, but for so many years, the second young master hasn't even said hello, what is this?

Is she afraid that if she finds out, she will run to the capital and cut down those orange trees?

Xia Yan couldn't help but glance at the second young master who had never met before, he really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
