Chapter 178: He's Not a Rain God!
Recently, a few streets have the most customers in Qiao Ji, and many people are worried about Qiao Ji's ice.
Someone even approached Qiao Ruyue and wanted to buy ice directly, but Qiao Ruyue rejected all of them.
Originally, they secretly wanted to trouble Qiao Ji, but after hearing that Qiao Ji had such a relationship, they immediately stopped thinking one by one.
After taking a bite of the icy and sweet ice cream, Li Zhenxing immediately felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.
The continuous high temperature has caused less and less water in the river, and many people have been suffering from heat stroke recently.
Moreover, now is the critical time for the growth of rice, the field is dry, there is no water, how can the rice grow?
Not only rice, but also corn, soybeans, red beans, peanuts, and sweet potatoes are not dry.
The ground is cracked!
If there is no grain production, the taxes in the second half of the year will not be collected, and they may even steal chickens and dogs, and the prison will be full at that time.
The exam at the end of this year is difficult again!
Li Zhenxing sighed for a long time, and recently the counties wrote to him and asked him to give him ideas.
But what could he do?
He's not the god of rain!
However, the method that Jin Simati has recently proposed may be able to give it a try.
……
After another five days, Qiao Ji's business was still good, but most of the people who came to eat ice cream or mung bean soup with ice were still in the continuous high temperature, and few people ordered the meals.
Qiao Ruyue wondered if Yin Zhou had stabbed the Flame Mountain, why was it so hot?
It's definitely 38 degrees, or even 40 degrees!
If it weren't for the ice in the back kitchen, she wouldn't have been able to stand it.
Except for the occasional person who comes to Qiao Kee, the whole Ewha Street is as quiet as a ghost street most of the time.
"Bell! Bell ......"
Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums sounding on Sajin Street attracted many people to stretch out their heads and look at it, even though it was very hot.
"I heard that Lord Thorn Shi invited a Taoist priest to pray for rain at the entrance of Sajin Street, and some Xuan Xiu also went!"
"Can it really rain?"
The high temperature for half a month in a row is so hot that people are afraid to go out, the sun hurts on the skin, and it feels like it is going to be sunburned!
"I hope it rains! I heard that this rain ceremony was donated by some wealthy businessmen in Yinzhou City.
It is only required to rain, no matter how big or small, there are 1,000 taels as a reward, and if it can rain heavily, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels! ”
Pedestrians walked towards Sajin Street with umbrellas, talking as they walked.
Qiao Ruyue stood at the door of Qiao Ji and just heard it.
She looked up at the sky and begged for heavy rain, so she gave 10,000 taels?
I have to say that she was moved.
"Sister Ruyue, do you think it can rain in Yinzhou City?" Li Jingya also poked her head out and asked.
"Miss Li, not only Yinzhou City, but also many counties below have not rained for half a month, and it is very hot......"
Lu Sandao.
Qiao Ruyue saw that everyone was concerned about asking for rain at the entrance of Sajin Street, so she decided to close the door and rest for half a day, anyway, most of the people in the entire Yinzhou City went to ask for rain at this time.
A high platform was set up at the entrance of Sajin Street, and a few rows of chairs were placed under the high platform, except for Lord Li and the people from the Assassin's Mansion, who were the good people, rich businessmen, old men and wives who donated money this time, and some even brought their own daughters with them.
Qiu Mansion is also among them, and the Qiu family is from Master Qiu and Qiu Heliang, the grandson of the Qiu family.
Among them, the most eye-catching is the Sun Mansion, Master Sun took Miss Sun Er and Miss Sun San to sit next to him, I heard that this time Sun Mansion donated the most silver taels.
Several other families also brought their daughters with them, but few of them were just the right age, most of them were only eleven or twelve years old.
Sun Tiansi couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.
She couldn't know more about these people's minds.
The best chess pieces in the family were disfigured by Dai Pan'an's liar like her, and now they are not seen one by one, so they have naturally become waste chess pieces in the family.
This kind of occasion will not be brought out.
The ones who can be brought out are the daughters who are most favored in the current family and will bring glory and benefits to the family in the future.
Behind the donors stood onlookers, standing under the scorching sun with umbrellas.
On one side of the platform stood many Taoist priests, as well as some monks.
The entire practice of praying for rain attaches great importance to the Assassination Mansion, and there are more than 300 government soldiers standing at the entrance of Sajin Street, and Zhong Yan is also among them.
As soon as Qiao Ruyue and the others arrived, he found out.
With Bao Changshi's order, a Taoist priest immediately jumped on the stage.
The people had never seen such an occasion, and one by one they craned their necks to look.
However, after a few Taoist priests went up one after another, not to mention the drizzle, they didn't even see a dark cloud.
Under the scorching sun, everyone was hot and thirsty, and they couldn't help but be disappointed in these Taoist priests.
Lu San pouted: "It seems that it is impossible to rain today." ”
Knowing this, the tavern would have rested for half a day, and he should have gone home to rest.
"Let's go back and bring the ice cream bucket to sell, there are a lot of people here, and everyone is too hot to sell, it must be easy to sell."
Qiao Ruyue said.
Hearing this, the four of them immediately came to their senses, and half of the people of Yinzhou City gathered here at this time.
Sell an ice cream, and all four of them get a commission.
Moreover, the ice cream is simply scooped out and put into a linted cardboard box, one ice cream with a spoon.
However, Qiao Ruyue also noticed Sun Tiansi's face, and it was only eleven days, and Sun Tiansi's face was much better.
She had an idea, and went home and brought a large wooden barrel.
After a while, the five of them were already setting up an ice cream stand next to it.
Qiao Ruyue and Lu San were responsible for collecting money, and Li Jingya, Sun Tiansi, and Chef Ding each put a bucket in front of them, which was full of ice cream~
When they went back to get the ice cream, the sky was still scorching, and there were no dark clouds.
Some people didn't want to stay here anymore, and at this moment, they heard Qiao Ruyue and Lu San shouting: "Sell ice cream that quenches your thirst!" ”
The words "cold quenching thirst" immediately caught everyone's attention.
In a short time, many people gathered in front of the ice cream stand.
Someone looked at the wooden barrel in front of Qiao Ruyue and asked, "You also have a barrel in front of you, why don't you sell it?" ”
Qiao Ruyue explained with a smile: "It's not ice cream in it, if you want to buy ice cream, just pay the money and stand in front of the three of them to line up." ”
Li Jingya scooped the first one to her eldest brother.
Only then did Li Zhenxing notice their stall, just as he was hot and irritable, this ice cream came at a really good time.
He really didn't have the patience to look at these Taoist practices, it was useless at all.
However, recently, he found that his sister is becoming more and more sensible, and even his wife praises her.
"You also watch your body, don't get too hot."
Li Zhenxing admonished.
"Brother, I'm standing on the edge of the ice cream bucket, no matter how hot it is, it's not as hot as you, I'm leaving!"
After speaking, Li Jingya went back and scooped two more boxes of ice cream for Li Ting's grandfather and Li Ting's cousin.
Qiu Yuhai and Qiu Heliang were stunned when they looked at the ice cream sent by Li Jingya.
Soon, Qiu Yuhai reacted, pretending to be angry and said, "Ya girl, don't you give me ice cream to eat this old man, isn't it less money?" ”
"It's not bad for these two, it's so hot, your old man is more likely to suffer from heat stroke than us young people."
With that, she shoved the ice cream into his hand.
Qiu Yuhai felt the coolness in his hands, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
"Qiu Heliang, take it!"
is much more casual to Qiu Heliang and Li Jingya, although he is two years older than her, who calls her senior?
Qiu Heliang took it embarrassedly and said, "Thank you, aunt!" ”
Li Ting called her aunt, and according to his seniority, he should also call Li Jingya Aunt with Li Ting.
After delivering the ice cream, Li Jingya went to sell ice cream in a very good mood.
The five-person ice cream stand quickly attracted the attention of other wealthy merchants who donated silver.
They were sitting, but it was hot!
When they turned around and looked at the ice cream stall, they saw Sun Tiansi among the five!
“!!!”
Sun Tiansi is actually selling ice cream?
Sun Lixian also thought that he would see his eldest daughter on such an occasion.
Seeing Sun Tiansi's skillful scooping of ice cream and spoon, and then handing it to the guest, Sun Lixian frowned unconsciously.
As a wealthy businessman in Yinzhou, how can the daughter raised by the Sun family do such a shameful thing as openly setting up a stall?
Sun Er, Sun Shuyi, and Sun San, Sun Wenjia, also saw Sun Tiansi, and they were also surprised.
However, what made them even more stunned was Sun Tiansi's face!!
