Cold drinks are suitable for almost all ages, and even if adults are reluctant to spend money on them, children will certainly not be able to resist this temptation.

It is true that the life of rural people is not rich, but no one will be completely stingy and do not give their children a little pocket money.

Xiaowan Village is not very far from the location of Shiqiao Town, and it is only about forty or fifty minutes walk.

In two days, it will be the market day in Shiqiao Town, maybe Zhang Ran can make some finished products first, and then go to the town to test the water.

It's easy to do without a refrigerator, and Zhang Ran, as a top student, has a simpler and faster way to make ice.

Anyone who has ever taken a chemistry class should know that saltpeter dissolves in water and absorbs a lot of heat, which then allows the surrounding water to cool down and freeze quickly.

The method of making ice from saltpeter has actually existed since ancient times, but no one in Xiaowan Village in the 80s has not yet discovered this business opportunity.

It is said that the first person to eat crabs is just a brave step ahead of the others.

And just the gap in this step, as long as it is used properly, can be converted into actual benefits.

Zhang Ran didn't expect to be able to make a fortune by selling cold drinks, and it was worth her to try if she could make a little money.

She can't be too far away from home now, and she doesn't have any capital, so it's still okay to start a small business.

The cold drink industry is basically a small profit but quick turnover, even if Zhang Ran sells it cheaper, as long as there are more people who buy it, it should be able to make her make a small profit.

Juice doesn't cost anything at all, and Zhang Ran's family has peach trees, which she can use directly.

As for saltpeter, there is a firecracker factory near Dawan Village, and some of them may be sold.

It just so happened that Zhang Ran could also go to her brother-in-law's house to borrow a bicycle, and with a bicycle, it would be more convenient for her to go to the town to sell ice juice or something.

Zhang Ran told Qin Yuzhen what he thought, but Qin Yuzhen was a little bottomless in her heart.

"Ranran, can you really sell this ice juice, what if you can't sell it?"

Zhang Ran can worry about the family's financial problems, Qin Yuzhen is both relieved and a little ashamed.

If she can make money herself, where can she worry about these things as a child.

Other people's children eat and go to school every day, or they help the family do some farm work, which child is as sensible as Zhang Ran?

not only took the initiative to help her share the housework, but also wanted to make money with her own hands, so that she could enjoy her mother's happiness at home.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this, anyway, it doesn't cost anything to make juice, it can be sold just right, and if it can't be sold, we can keep it for ourselves!"

Qin Yuzhen really couldn't find a reason to refute, so she could only nod and agree.

"That's it, tomorrow Mom will accompany you to your brother-in-law's house."

Letting Zhang Ran go to Dawan Village alone, Qin Yuzhen was really a little worried.

There was that disgusting thing that Zhang Cuifen had just done before, and Qin Yuzhen looked at Zhang Ran now, just like looking at a fragile porcelain doll, and easily didn't let her leave her sight for too long.

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore, Dawan Village is not far away, I'll just go there by myself."

Qin Yuzhen has a big belly, where can Zhang Ran rest assured that she will suffer with her.

But no matter what Zhang Ran said, Qin Yuzhen was determined to accompany her over.

Zhang Ran was forced to be helpless, and finally could only nod in agreement.

It's a big deal, she and her mother will go out early tomorrow, and hurry while the sun hasn't risen yet, it shouldn't be too hot.

Finally, at night, the temperature dropped a lot.

Zhang's dinner is still rice porridge, but this time there are two more side dishes, a scrambled egg with leeks and a tomato and egg soup.

The vegetables are grown in their own vegetable fields, and as for the eggs, they are also laid by the chickens they raise.

In order to supplement the nutrition of Zhang Ran, who went to school, Qin Yuzhen deliberately raised two fat hens before.

Just when Zhang Ran and Qin Yuzhen were about to have dinner, a person suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, which made Zhang Ran very unwilling to see it.
