Du Shenfei led the calf to look south along Xining Street first, ready to find a teahouse to drink a pot of strong tea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info saw a long queue of thirty or forty people in front of a restaurant in front of him, as if they were waiting to buy something.

Du Shenfei was not curious, so he took the calf to see it first, it turned out to be a sugar water shop, specializing in selling iced drinks, called "Guji Cold Drink", and the business was very prosperous.

Du Shenfei was surprised: "The weather is so hot, where did they get the ice?"

The calf said first: "It won't be stolen from our house, will it?"

Du Shenfei suddenly thought: "There is such a big ice cave in my house, idle there, can I use it, and do some business?"

Drinking ice water in the scorching summer sun is a great pleasure.

There are seven or eight kinds of ice water in this store, including sweet dates and watermelon.

Du Shenfei and the calf ordered two bowls of watermelon-flavored ones, and when they sat down, when the ice water was served, it was not ice cubes, just ice water, and two small pieces of watermelon were added to it, but it was really expensive, thirty yuan a bowl.

Du Shenfei quickly finished drinking, came to the counter to find the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and asked the shopkeeper: "Old man, I want to ask you, where did you get this ice water?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at Du Shenfei, of course he wouldn't tell Du Shenfei, and when he learned to compete with himself again, he crooked his mouth and said with a smile: "You asked me where I got the ice?" I'll tell you, because I have an iceberg at home. ”

Du Shenfei also understood this, and immediately said: "Old man, your so-called ice is just cold water, not ice. But I have a way to make authentic ice cubes, and I wonder if the old gentleman would be interested in working with me. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, and he said, "Can you make ice?"

Du Shenfei saw that there was a play, and hurriedly said: "Of course it's true, it's true, it's not fake at all." ”

The shopkeeper was not convinced, and asked, "I ask you, how did you do it?"

Du Shenfei said with a smile: "This is also a secret recipe of mine, and I will never give it to others easily, but if you are interested, I will provide you with two loads every day, as long as one or two pieces of silver, I don't know what the old gentleman thinks?"

The shopkeeper wiped his eyes, pulled a few fingers, and knocked on the abacus, and after a long time, he didn't believe that the young man in front of him could really make ice cubes, so he said: "On a hot day, don't make a fool of yourself, or leave some saliva as saliva to swallow your thirst." ”

Du Shenfei said: "I really didn't make trouble, if you want, I will send you two loads tomorrow, cash on delivery." In this way, you should always believe that you will pay with one hand and deliver with the other, right?"

The shopkeeper still seemed to believe it or not, but after all, he was a businessman who could make money, and of course the businessman would not let go of any opportunity to make money, so the shopkeeper still said, "Okay! Then I'll be here, waiting for your ice to come." If you can get ice, I'll get the money. ”

Du Shenfei was full of joy, and immediately led the calf first, ran three or four streets, found a woodware shop, bought two wooden barrels, two flat burdens, and went to buy oil, waited for Xie Youlong by the river, and the three of them went back happily.

Shi Luoyi watched the two of them come back with a bucket each, and said happily: "Child, I don't have a bucket to use, thanks to you for buying two loads." ”

Du Shenfei said with a smile: "Mother, this is not for you, I will use it for business with the calf tomorrow, and we will buy you another load tomorrow." ”

Shi Luo asked in surprise: "What kind of business do you have, you need to use barrels, and you don't sell sweet wine, you don't sell oil, and you don't give people pulp laundry." ”

The calf rushed first and said, "Old lady, we will sell ice tomorrow." ”

Shi Luoyi was surprised: "Ice can also be sold, it's really a lie to your mother." ”

Du Shenfei said: "What the calf said is true, we will go to sell ice cubes tomorrow." ”

Shi Luoyi smiled: "I don't believe you." ”

The calf smiled first: "Old lady, I don't care if you believe it or not, tomorrow when you get the money back, you will believe it!"

The two of them took four buckets of water on the "shouting well" and froze in the ice cave on the second floor of their home. The water was so good that it was sweet and clear, and there wasn't even a single piece of sand.

Early the next morning, Du Shenfei and the calf each picked up a load of ice water and came to the "Guji Cold Drink Shop".

When the old man saw these two loads of ice frozen like stones, he couldn't believe his eyes at all, and he looked and looked, and then took out a hammer and struck on it, and sure enough, it was a real piece of ice.

Lao Gu was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly paid off the two taels of silver, patted Du Shenfei's shoulder, and laughed: "Little brother, what is your surname?"

Du Shenfei said: "My surname is Du, and my name is Du Shenfei." The old gentleman's surname is Gu?"

Lao Gu nodded again and again, and said: "Exactly! Exactly, little brother, we agreed, just like today, you pick two loads of ice like this for me every day, see you or disperse, the silver will be paid off immediately, and you will never be in arrears, what do you think?"

Du Shenfei was also happy in his heart, making money in this way was much faster than making money from portraits, so he said with a full mouth: "Mr. Gu, please rest assured! We will never lose our words, and we will send it every day." ”

Because the ice cubes in the bucket today were frozen and solid, and they couldn't take them out for the time being, the two had to buy three more loads, one for Shi Luoyi to use, and the other two for rotation to pick the ice.

It's a very easy business, and you can earn a lot of money in one morning.

Du Shenfei decided to save the money slowly, and he could find something to do in his spare time.

Soon he thought of a good solution, that is, there are several disadvantages of drinking cold drinks in such an ice shop, one is that the queue is too long, and the other is that he has to sit in the store to drink. But he thinks he can come up with a better way, that is, such a large bamboo forest near his house, which grows wildly in spring, and there is an endless supply of bamboo, why not cut the bamboo, saw it into sections, dig a small hole, fill it with water, add some sugar to ice it, and then pick it up and sell it?

Du Shenfei and the calf immediately went to buy two saws and a bag of sand sugar, and returned to the Tiger Wolf Valley.

The calf cut down the bamboo first and carried it back in bundles.

The two of them sweated like rain and worked so hard that they sawed off all the bamboos.

Shi Luoyi saw that these two could really make money, and in just a few days, he earned several taels of silver, and he was also overjoyed, and helped to irrigate there, and later even Xie Youlong came to irrigate.

Xie Youlong and Shi Luoyi sat together, talking and laughing.

Du Shenfei looked at it, and suddenly understood who bought the crystal fan-shaped hairpin that the old lady wore on her head a few days ago. At that time, he was still a little puzzled, this was not bought by himself, and the old lady had never gone out, how could there be this? Could it be that the calf would secretly buy gifts to give away?

Now he suddenly understands that this hairpin must have been given by Xie Youlong.

He suddenly felt that this was also good!
