Chapter 338 Making Shaved Ice

The seventh day of June.

Master Zeng was afraid of making the same mistake again, so he only sent people to keep an eye on Wang Jingzhi.

Looking at the people who stayed in Jihe Hall for several days, Wang Jingzhi felt helpless.

"Miss Hexiu, you just ate a little too much, just eat something to digest."

He Xiu touched the beard on his chin, his face full of shock.

"You, how did you recognize me?"

Wang Jingzhi had a headache, rubbed his brows, and then said helplessly: "Miss Hexiu, if you want to pretend to be a man next time, you have to wash off the rouge on your face first."

He Xiu blushed and pulled off his fake beard with a groan.

"Miss Hexiu, this is a medical clinic, not a place for you to play around. If nothing happens, please don't disturb the patient."

She was a girl after all, and Wang Jingzhi didn't say it too harshly.

In the medical clinic, patients who came for acupuncture every day saw Hexiu leaving with a blushing face. They just laughed and joked: "Little doctor Wang, what are you doing? This little girl was born well."

"Uncle Xie, don't dare to ruin other people's reputation." Wang Jingzhi waved his hands, but in his heart he thought of the pale girl.

Miss Zeng, you should be fine, right?

He often wakes up at night, and whenever he closes his eyes, he dreams of his grandpa.

Every time Grandpa appeared in his dream, he would just sit quietly and look at himself.

He knew that he could not live up to his grandpa, nor to those two dolls.

Wang Jingzhi pursed his lips tightly, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

If so, if he had been more sober, Grandpa might not have left. If he had not driven away Xiao Qi and Yueyue, maybe they could live a good life now.

But if they followed him, it might be better than dying on the road.

Wang Jingzhi lowered his head, feeling indescribably sad.

He hated himself for driving away those two poor babies, but he was glad that he didn't let them follow him.

Even now, two years later, the scars on his back are still very clear.

He is an unclean person, how can he expect to marry a wife and have children like a normal person?

"Liu Da, Aze, come and help carry the ice!"

Shen Miaomiao jumped off the donkey cart and called for people to come over and move things.

"Hey, here we come."

Liu Da and Aze who were waiting at the door heard Shen Miaomiao's words and hurriedly came out to pick up the things. They took out two boxes from the back of the donkey cart and went to the yard.

The Zeng family's ice cellar was late to produce ice, but they had to buy some ice first to try making iced drinks.

Now they have tasted all the pastries made by the pastry chef invited, except for this ice drink.

Nowadays, the most common ice drinks in Yancheng are sour plum soup, melon cheese and cherry juice.

Sour plum soup usually costs three cents a bowl, while melon cheese and cherry juice cost five cents.

The cheaper one is the cold melon which costs a penny a piece.

Moreover, these ice drinks are not made with ice cubes. Most of them are prepared and placed in clay pots hung with ropes and placed in the well for cooling.

If you go to a shop to eat iced drinks, the store usually buys a piece of ice, crushes it, and puts it in a homemade "ice box". After the customer orders it, he adds some crushed ice to it.

Just adding some crushed ice will cost you three cents.

"Sister Nanzhi, what are we going to do, shave ice?" Shen Miaomiao finished instructing them to move things and looked at Nanzhi expectantly.

She had long heard from Sister Nanzhi how delicious the shaved ice was.

They just made the jam yesterday, and they also bought ice cubes today. Can they make some to try?

"Yes, yes." Nanzhi smiled and nodded the little girl's forehead. After paying the fare, he entered the yard with her.

In the small courtyard, Master Zheng and several of his apprentices greeted Nanzhi and others familiarly when they saw them coming in.

Nanzhi and the others nodded, smiled, and went to those two rooms.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother."

Nanzhi felt a little distressed when she saw her father and the others sweating profusely.

"Uncle Lin, Brother Lin, Brother Lin." Shen Miaomiao greeted them. Knowing that Nanzhi wanted to talk to them, she went to look at the ice cubes first.

"Fat Ya, why are you here again?" Father Lin wiped the sweat from his neck and took a breath.

The stairs and opening the door in the restaurant were all left to Master Zheng, and the two rooms and breaking through the courtyard wall were left to them.

But why does this fat girl keep coming to this yard every day?

"Miaomiao and I are here to think about new products." Nanzhi explained with a smile, and poured a bowl of sour plum soup for his father.

"You are the only one who has many ideas every day." Father Lin chuckled, then frowned when he thought of something.

"Why don't you go and take a look at those new girls you bought?"

Now that the women's building is open, Nanzhi can't continue to let Liu Da and the others serve food.

After discussing with Shen Miaomiao, they went to Hu San and bought five little girls aged fifteen or sixteen.

Now they are all placed in the room behind Sanweiju.

Fortunately, Sanweiju has a large area and many rooms, otherwise it would be really difficult.

But those five little girls were all pretty and young, so she was a little worried that something would happen to them.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll let Yuntian watch."

Father Lin took a sip of sour plum soup and felt a little better all over: "As long as you know what you're doing, I see that the boys in your restaurant are pretty good, so there shouldn't be any big trouble. You can't do it anytime." If you ask Yuntian to have a meal at home, that kid will be pitiful."

"I know." Nanzhi asked after pouring a bowl of sour plum soup for each of his two brothers.

"Did you say anything about Aunt Zhuang?" She sold Aunt Zhuang yesterday. When she went back, she told her that Aunt Zhuang had met a man who was willing to redeem her life, and she had already given him the deed of sale. .

"What can you say, mother-in-law? I told you that the man has no other problems besides being miserable at home, so I didn't ask any more questions." Lin's father had a smile on his face. He just felt that without Aunt Zhuang at home, he was covered in blood. A little more relaxed.

Lin Ercheng's face on the side was a bit ugly. He had thrown away all three pairs of underwear. He had been scolded by his wife for half an hour because of this.

Unconvinced, Lin Ercheng's men moved a little harder.

Hearing the sound, Nanzhi turned his head and looked at his second brother.

"Second brother, why are your ears so red?" Nanzhi's sharp eyes saw that his second brother's left ear was a little red and swollen, but it didn't look like it was hot.

Lin Ercheng glanced at them, snorted and turned away, not even drinking the remaining half bowl of sour plum soup.

This little sister is so bad, she even helped her father and brother hide it from her.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. My good second brother, please forgive me this time! I will go back later and explain to my sister-in-law?"

Nanzhi asked with a playful smile.

"Go away, go away, don't stop me from working." Lin Ercheng's face turned black and he just drove Nanzhi away.

This little girl is really heartless.

"Dad, eldest and second brothers, you guys are busy first. I'll prepare something to eat and come out to call you soon." Nanzhi stopped playing tricks and just waved her hand and entered the house.

The ice shaver she ordered two days ago has arrived, and she still has to try to see if it works.

After all, this shaved ice knife cost her two taels of silver. If it didn't work, she would melt it and come back with a hammer.
