Tian Rubai is really a businessman, the bucket of ice powder he took from her was sold in the afternoon of the next day, and on the third day, he continued to take two buckets from here and came with his two cousins. After a few days, more and more people came to her to wholesale ice powder, including many adults.

"Tell me you can wholesale that thing called ice powder here?" An aunt she didn't quite recognize came to the door and asked.

"Ah, yes, a bucket of 100 yuan, auntie, you can sell it for 150 yuan, but you have to pay me first, or take a bag of wheat and mortgage it with me."

"Hey, folks, I have to give you a bag of wheat first? Two or three days at most, I'll bring it to you after I've earned it, can't I? ”

Liu Guiyuan said with a smile: "This aunt, the rules can't be broken, you take a bucket for nothing, he takes a bucket for nothing, in case I don't get money to sell it, won't my small deal be yellow?" ”

"Little girl, it's so fine, and you didn't say you wouldn't give it to you, can't you wait for two days?" Jin squinted at Liu Guiyuan, muttering in his mouth, and when he left, he continued to ask without giving up: "Is it feasible, I'll take it, if it doesn't work, I can go?" ”

"It's really not good, auntie, you take a bag of grain and put it at my house first, and then I will pay you back when I get the money to sell the grain."

"Forget it, don't take it, a little girl, your brain is really dead."

Seeing that Liu Guiyuan was not easy to speak at all, Jin waved his hand impatiently, turned his head and walked away. As soon as the Jin family left, Liu Guiyuan asked who Liu Hongzao was at home, Liu Hongzao glanced at it, pouted and said: "She, she is Xu Shanmei's stepmother Jin Yan'er, she has a sister named Jin Feng'er, who is Liu Xiaobian's daughter-in-law." ”

Liu Guiyuan nodded, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that she was a little familiar, it turned out that she was a family with the Jin family, and her sister sent her own daughter to Yang Mansion on an errand, and her sister asked her man to sell her stepdaughter to Yang Mansion for money, it was really not a family that did not enter the door.

"Longan, do you want to continue to collect it?"

There are a lot of wild loquat piles in the hall and the inner house, and there is a pile in the open space outside the house, and the fourth grandmother's house also put most of it, Liu Hongjube is worried that he will collect too much, Liu Guiyuan calculated that he collected a few thousand catties before and after, which is enough for the time being, so he said: "Then I will receive it until today, and we can also go to the mountains to pick it ourselves if we need it in the future." ”

There are many wild loquat trees in the back mountain, and now it is the peak season for fruit, she is not worried about not being able to pick them in the future, and there is no ice storage here, and it is easy to rot the fruit if you collect too much and pile it up.

The two of them squatted on the ground to wash the fruit, and after washing it, they put it in a bucket, and after a while, Gu Shi came over to serve it herself, and took it to her own house to scrub it, she had a yard there, and it was convenient to do this.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Huahua and Liu Jindi drove the ox cart back from outside, the two of them didn't know what to think, they had to go outside to experience the joy of making money, and the two drove the ox cart to pull half a bucket of ice powder and went out.

"Sister Jin Di, peanuts, how are you two selling ice powder?" Liu Hongzao smiled and went to greet the two of them.

"It's almost sold out, and there's still a little left, so let's eat it ourselves." Liu Jindi wiped the sweat on her face, her face was full of joy of making money, Liu Huahua carried a cloth bag containing money and poured out a handful of copper coins, leaned on the car and said: "I patronized and sold ice powder, and I forgot how much it was." ”

No matter how much money they make, she and Liu Jindi can take one-third, and then divide it equally, in fact, in the end, they didn't make much money, and it was not as much as they earned by working at home to make ice powder, but they just wanted to do it, and they had nothing to do.

"Sister Jin Di, give it, the two of us have twelve wen each." Liu Huahua handed the small head to Liu Jindi, and the share he earned did not move, but put it with the rest of the money, and turned his head to the hole hidden under the bed in the house.

When she came out, Liu Jindi was talking about their experience of selling ice powder in Gudian, Gudian is Liu Jindi's grandmother's house, where she is very cooked, and ice powder sells quickly and easily.

"Gu Dian is not close to here, you two just said to go?" Liu Hongzao asked in surprise.

"Well, when we went, there were two merchants in Gudian, and when they saw us selling ice powder, and asked how to do it, I said that I couldn't say how to do it, and if I wanted to buy it wholesale, I could buy it at the first place in Huashi Village, they thought it was okay, and I guess they would come tomorrow." Liu Huahua was quite proud when he thought of this, and he sold ice powder and introduced the business for his family.

"Second sister, you are really amazing! However, you two can't go to such a far place alone in the future, especially when you're outside, don't go to the merchant alone, I'm afraid that some of them will shoot flowers and kidnap people. Liu Guiyuan approves of her second sister earning money, but disapproves of her being a little girl, running so far away, or a place with few people.

"Gui Yuan is right, it's okay to meet in the village, so many people are watching, not in a place where there is no one outside." Liu Hongzao heard this and hurriedly said: "I used to hear that a child ran outside the village to chase the merchant to buy candy to eat, and then he didn't come back until the evening, and some people said that he was photographed by Huazi." ”

Liu Huahua listened to what they said reasonably, and quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, we all have this vigilance, and we will pay attention to it wherever we go." ”

After a few people finished speaking, Liu Hongjube took a pot of wild loquat pulp mixed with good water and sent it to the west side house to start kneading the pulp, Liu Huahua and Liu Jindi went to clean up the remaining ice powder, wooden barrels, thick bowls and so on on in the car.

It's almost dark, Liu Guiyuan squatted on the ground and calculated the accounts, planning to cook on the fire later, and then call the fourth grandmother to come over and eat together.

As soon as the day was hot, the mosquitoes smelled sweat and came out, caught whoever bit whom, she was bitten twice on her foot and neck, and was about to burn some wormwood to smoke, when she looked up and saw two people in front of her, Liu Guiyuan thought that they would come to change the wild loquat, and stood in place and waited for them for a while.

When the two got closer, she saw that these two were Liu Tiezhu and Liu Tiedan of the second uncle's family, since the last quarrel, the brothers usually see her as if they don't know each other, who knows that they came over today. That's it, the past is over, she can't keep holding on to it, and if she doesn't look at the two of them, she has to look at the face of the second uncle, and asks, "What are you two doing?" ”

Liu Tiedan didn't squeak, Liu Tiezhu opened his mouth: "What about your eldest sister, call her to come and find her to change something." ”

Liu Tiezhu said this in the style of a big brother, in fact, he was three or four years older than himself, Liu Guiyuan didn't buy his account, pointed to himself and said: "If you want to change things to find me, my eldest sister is not available." ”

Liu Tiedan walked in front of the wild loquat piled up on a hill, his eyes lit up and said, "My mother, how much does it cost to accept such an old man?" Silly, no, longan, can you eat all these wild loquats? ”

If you want to talk about Liu Tiedan, not to mention that she is wilted at a young age, people are still stupid, who spends money to buy so many wild loquat to eat, she has been selling ice powder in the village for several days, and she is blind and can't see that it is made of wild loquat? At this time, Liu Huahua came over, glanced at Liu Tiedan impatiently and said, "We collect and sell it, who eats this every day?" ”

"Tsk, you guys really think about making money, when I came, my mother also said that the money your family earned this time is not a star and a half, you have to have three or four thousand dollars?" Liu Tiezhu couldn't stop smacking his tongue when he listened, and at the same time he was envious and didn't forget to ask how much money her family earned.

"Yes, we will make money, you tell the second aunt, we will earn a few hundred taels of silver, okay?" Liu Guiyuan rolled his eyes angrily and asked, "Can you change things?" We're going to cook and eat! ”

"Oh, it's all here, give us more changes!" Liu Tiezhu held the pocket in his hand, threw it on the ground, and called Liu Guiyuan a few times.

"It's all one price, ten catties for one penny, whatever you want to change it or not."

"Can't you give more relatives for change?"

"I can't."

"Alright then, you weigh it quickly."

Liu Guiyuan picked up the basket quickly, and weighed it with his pocket, so that there were more than 20 catties of wild loquats, and asked Liu Huahua to go to the house to take two pennies out, and said: "It's not good to have two catties more, so you can take it home and eat it yourself." ”

Liu Tiezhu heard that it was okay, took the money, took the rest of the wild loquat and went home, Liu Tiedan next to him was still chattering: "Just give two articles, I am so tired that I can give this point, and my relatives come, it's really stingy." ”

Liu Guiyuan is so angry, is it wrong to dare to create a chance for you to make a fortune? Okay, next time you come back, you won't accept any of them, and you'll be angry!

After the two of them left, the eldest sister Liu Hongjube took a basin of kneaded ice powder liquid and sent it to the cellar of the fourth grandmother's house to be chilled, and Liu Guiyuan and Liu Huahua cleaned up the mess in front of the door. So many wild loquats, according to the red and green are scored, and the red and yellow ones are washed first, but this is all something to be done tomorrow, now put it away in the house, and those pots and pots, which should be put into the house.

Later, Gu Shi kneaded two large buckets of ice powder, with the morning rubbing, and Liu Guiyuan rubbed a few by himself, a total of more than six buckets, all of which were put in the cellar and cold. Don't look at the quantity, it is estimated that it will be consumed in one day tomorrow, who calls the refreshing and delicious ice powder popular.

In other words, the ice powder sold in the past ten days has earned a lot of money, and after removing a little cost and labor costs, the net profit is nine taels or six dollars, of course, half of the score is given to the dog baby brother next door, but even so, the profit of four or eight dollars is still very considerable! Now the beginning of summer has just begun, and when it is sold in autumn, it is easy to earn twenty taels of silver.

The dog baby is no longer selling ice powder in Sun Jingxuan's foot shop, firstly, he can make more money by selling it in the town, and secondly, his stall is famous, and people pay for it wherever he goes. In addition, Sun Jingxuan's foot shop can sell a bucket or half a bucket of ice powder every day, according to his words, selling ice powder can not only make a little money, but also drive the business of his store.

Liu Guiyuan's ice powder business is so good, and she has to thank a person she didn't expect, that is, Xu Shanmei, who was sold to Yang's mansion, heard the dog baby say that she is now working in the small kitchen, and one day accompanied the mother-in-law in the kitchen to buy outside, and happened to meet the dog baby who sold ice powder, the two talked for a while, and the dog baby invited them to each taste a piece of ice powder, which thought that this entered the eyes of the mother-in-law, and then it was naturally sent to Yang's house.

There are many masters in Yang's house, and there are more people, and the owner of a bucket of ice powder has only tasted two bites and then it's gone, and he hasn't eaten it yet, so all the houses in Yang's house have paid to buy it, you buy dozens of bowls in the house, and she buys half a bucket in the house and eats it herself

It's not enough, but also buy more to give to relatives, friends or reward to the next person, as soon as it comes and goes, the summer snack of ice powder has spread among the rich class in Qinghe Town, especially Yangfu, which can be said to be the leader of novel food.

However, Liu Guiyuan listened to the dog baby, of course, the dog baby listened to Xu Shanmei, after the ice powder they sold was sent to the house, the first step was to send it to the ice cellar cold town, and then there were all kinds of reprocessing, some added walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts and other nuts, some added jujube paste, honey and milk skin and other desserts, and some were poured with lemon juice, mixed with smoothies and various dried fruits, such as raisins, dried hawthorn, and dried sour plums.

In short, the nobles' way of eating is always more delicate than the law, but they dare not compare.

"Oops, it's finally done, it's been a busy day. Eldest sister, second sister, let's hurry up and cook and eat early and go to bed on the kang. ”

Liu Guiyuan clapped his hands, rubbed his arms left and right, came out of the fourth grandmother's house, and urged the two sisters to go home to cook and eat as he walked.

"Do you still need to say it?!"
