Chapter 720 Earning Money
Xiao Si subconsciously took the coin thrown by the other party. He was shocked in his heart, but he agreed with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll come right away. Our ice bowls are all genuine good stuff. Not only do we have various meatballs and smoothies, but we also add sugar flowers when making them, which guarantees sweetness and deliciousness."
While speaking, Xiao Si had already run to the store.
"Sister-in-law, quickly prepare ten ice bowls for the gentlemen."
"Hey, I'll come right away." Mrs. Du's eyes lit up, and she immediately filled ten ice bowls.
Xiao Si handed them to each person one by one, and warmly invited people to taste them.
"Please taste carefully, gentlemen. If you think there is any problem, just raise it and we will improve it as appropriate."
Mother said, let's not talk about how to change it first, but the attitude must be there.
Several people took the bamboo leaf bowls, looked at the colorful little meatballs on them, and remembered the bite they tasted yesterday, and immediately scooped a spoonful into their mouths.
"Wow, it's really cold, so satisfying."
"This trip was not in vain, it's even better than yesterday's."
"On a hot day, eating a bowl of ice is more satisfying than eating a meal. Even if it's a big pork elbow, I won't change it for him."
While they were talking, they saw Xie Yu sitting next to them and eating the ice bowl quietly. This man is a celebrity in the college and also their senior.
When they met, they naturally exchanged polite greetings.
"I didn't expect that the senior would come earlier than us. It seems that we will have a day of common interests."
"This ice bowl is indeed a good product for cooling down the summer heat. Since you like it, come and enjoy it more in the future."
It is said that birds of a feather flock together. These guys are all rich guys in the county. It's easy to make money from them.
Listening to Xie Yu's tone, several people looked at each other and were very happy. This guy usually didn't look at them straight in the eyes in the college, but he didn't expect that he would be so gentle and easy to talk to outside today?
"I didn't expect that Senior Xie, who is both good in character and learning, is also a person in this field. If I encounter delicious food in the future, I hope that Senior will not hesitate to tell me."
Listening to the tone of several people, Xie Yu nodded. "Delicious food and fine wine satisfy the desire for food and wine, which is human nature."
Listening to the discussions of everyone, Bai Yunxi and Zhang Zhangyi looked at each other and smiled lightly without saying anything.
After the students came in, the two sat in the corner. Seeing that several people were busy, they did not disturb them and went straight out of the shop.
Sitting down in the teahouse opposite, I can just see the situation of the shop.
"Little shopkeeper, serve the rest for me and send them all to Ma's house on South Street and give them to the housekeeper."
The leading student put down the bamboo leaf bowl, clapped his hands, rubbed his stomach with satisfaction, and felt a chill all over his body. It was really not hot anymore.
The ten people who came with them each ate two bowls. Although some people were still reluctant to eat, they did not force anyone to eat.
"Brother Ma, thank you for your hospitality. I'll treat you next time."
"That's right. Such food is indispensable for cooling down the summer heat. We take turns to be the host."
"Don't be polite among classmates. Let's go quickly, otherwise we will be punished by the teacher if we return late."
After hearing their proposal, Xiao Si's eyes lit up and he immediately promised Ma Langjun,
"Don't worry, Ma Langjun, I will immediately send your filial piety to your house and let you taste our ice bowls."
Watching the few people leave with satisfaction, Xiao Si immediately got ready and drove a carriage to deliver the goods to the door.
Zhang Yiren looked at Xiao Si's agile figure and praised.
"You have taught the children so well. Look, they are so smart."
"It is said that children from poor families grow up early. It is also because of life."
Bai Yunxi chuckled as Xiao Si drove the carriage away.
"Since the family encountered an accident, all the burdens have been on me alone. The children are quite sensible. They understand that it is not easy for me, and their temperaments have changed a lot compared to before."
"Although it is better now, several people have developed the habit of working hard for their own lives, so that they can appreciate and cherish the hard-won good life."
"That's right. Life is like this. Only by taking every step steadily can there be hope." Zhang Yiren nodded and agreed with Bai Yunxi's concept.
After a wave of students left, several more students came in. After asking about the price, although some people thought it was a bit expensive, it was still within their affordability. Since they came here, they all tasted a bowl.
As the students came in and out, many people followed in one after another.
There were walking merchants and passers-by. Soon, the prepared colored balls were almost gone.
Mrs. Du was afraid that it would not be enough, so she ran to the kitchen to make another batch of colored balls.
As for the food such as pumpkin puree and sweet potato puree, it takes a little time to steam them, so I have to prepare more tomorrow.
Even though I added meatballs several times in the middle, they were still sold out before 3 p.m.
Bai Yunxi saw that the time was almost up, so she asked Xiao Si to hang up a sold-out sign.
She could purchase more food in the afternoon.
The guests who came in later learned that the ice bowl was sold out, so they could only return disappointed and wait to come back to taste it when it opened tomorrow morning.
After finishing the work, Zhang Yishan walked up to the two of them with the money box,
"Aunt Bai, mother, today's business is so good that my two hands are not enough."
It was the first time for her to be the temporary shopkeeper and collect money, and she was so excited.
She has always been the one who spends money, and this is her first time trying to collect money, and it feels good.
"Aunt Bai's guess was right. All the people who come to eat the ice bowl are young men, although most of them are students on the first day. But as long as they think it tastes good, they can bring their families to try it."
Zhang Yiren looked at her daughter's enthusiastic look and couldn't help but glared at her.
"I didn't know you were a little money-grubber."
"Oh, what does this have to do with money-grubber? Making money is so fun."
Bai Yunxi saw that the mother and daughter were about to argue again, and patted Zhang Yisan's hand with a smile,
"It's really hard today, Sister Shan. If you didn't come to help collect the money, there might be trouble."
"Aunt Bai thinks so highly of me, so I will come to help tomorrow."
Zhang Yiren heard her daughter volunteering, looked at her helplessly, and sighed in her heart. This girl is lively and active. If she encounters such a lively place, it is estimated that eight horses can't pull her back.
Forget it, just let her go. Fortunately, this girl is also sensible and won't mess around.
Hearing Zhang Yiren's worries, Bai Yunxi pulled Zhang Yishan to sit down.
"Let's count how much we earned today?"
"Okay, I like counting money the most."
Zhang Yishan looked at the half-box of copper coins, which fell on the table with a clatter, and huddled together with Bai Yunxi, looking very serious.
Zhang Yiren looked at the two of them with her head tilted, her eyes shining like gold,
and she couldn't help laughing as she looked at them.
