Chapter 731: On the Issue of Making Money

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Zhang Yishan nodded. The two of them took a few cups of milk tea and turned out of the kitchen, walking directly towards the pavilion where Zhang Yiren was sitting.

"Mom, give it a try and your daughter will learn it."

Zhang Yiren wiped the sweat from her daughter's forehead with a handkerchief.

"Just learn how to do it. Don't let your Aunt Bai down."

Listening to Zhang Yiren's explanation, Bai Yunxi wiped his forehead, picked up the cattail leaf fan and shook it, "Actually, this kind of small business is suitable for young girls to make some money, and it won't attract attention even if they make a small fuss."

Especially with the status of the Zhang family, under normal circumstances, no one wants to offend.

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Zhang Yiren looked at her helplessly.

"You just make a small fuss as much as those who run serious shops. Our shop has queues every day and has attracted people's attention. The reason why those people didn't dare to move easily is because they don't want to offend us, but they probably don't understand it either. How much did we earn?"

From the time it opened until now, her sister Shan goes there almost every day. In the eyes of some people, it means adults accompanying little girls to experience life.

Anyone with a wink, for the sake of her master, would not make trouble and compete with the little girl for her job.

Listening to Zhang Yiren's thoughts, Baiyunxi was noncommittal.

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profit. It is not that they don’t want to rob, but that they are afraid that if they can’t hold it back, they will offend others in vain, which is not cost-effective.

After they rested for a while, Zhang Yishan mentioned the ice-making matter to her mother, "Mom, I want Uncle Liang and the two brothers to learn ice-making from Aunt Bai. What do you think?"

Zhang Yiren looked at her daughter for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Yunxi, her eyes full of disapproval.

"Yunxi, these are all your craftsmanship. Is it appropriate to leave them all to Sister Shan?"

No matter which craft she has, she can support her family. All of them are given to Sister Shan at once. They deserve it.

Hearing Zhang Yiren's disapproving tone, Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly,

"Don't worry, it won't be a loss if you leave it to Sister Shan. I just said that after teaching Sister Shan, I will go home. How can ice bowls and ice tea be done without ice?"

"Then we can't teach them all."

"Don't worry, I also have a plan. After getting along with each other these days, Sister Shan can definitely manage the shop. After teaching Sister Shan, our share will also be changed. I only provide skills, people, and the shop. The operation and management will be left to Sister Shan. Let’s change it to 30-70. I, Sister Sanshan, will be in charge of 70. I want to be quiet and not greedy.”

Listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, the mother and daughter were stunned. Before Zhang Yiren could speak, the little girl stopped.

"Aunt Bai, if you do this, it's no different than giving it away to me."

"Silly girl, I'll just ignore Aunt Bai and get 30% of the income based on my craftsmanship. I'm already satisfied."

Bai Yunxi laughed, reached out and pinched her cheek,

"Do you think I am impartial to everyone and teach you my skills? Of course I have to trust you.

In fact, she didn't pay attention to these things at all, and they were not her patent, they were just brought in casually.

What's more, Xiao Wu is still Dean Zhang's apprentice. Even for Xiao Wu, it's worth it.

Zhang Yiren pondered for a moment and said, "If you are busy, just go home and your share will be the same as before. There is no need to change it back and forth."

She felt uneasy after taking so many benefits from others for nothing.

Zhang Yishan listened to her mother's tone and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Seeing the same attitude between mother and daughter, Baiyunxi scolded them,

"You are just too serious. Do you think this is such a difficult craft? Just wait and see, before next summer, someone will imitate it. Those who eat ice bowls every day, as long as they have some cooking skills, they will find the trick after a few attempts. If you wait until next year, you may not be able to make any money.”

They were all non-technical things, and she really didn't see them.

Zhang Yishan listened and blinked, "So, Aunt Bai came up with the new product of pearl milk tea?"

"Yes, the reason for launching new products is to earn some pocket money first. Once others imitate it, we will also earn what we should earn."

Bai Yunxi looked at Zhang Yishan's bright eyes and curled her lips.

"If you eat meat, you have to let people drink the soup. How else can you balance it?"

On the surface, no one dares to embarrass the Zhang family, but privately. Especially the jealousy of the women in the backyard, it is necessary to be on guard.

"Then we can't let Aunt Bai suffer too much. Just as mother said, let's pay back fifty-fifty. I'll keep an eye on the shop. Aunt Bai just goes home and comes to the county whenever she's free. I'll save all the shares for you. I guarantee you won’t miss a penny.”

Zhang Yishan smiled and took Bai Yunxi's arm and shook it gently.

Looking at the little girl's innocent eyes, Bai Yunxi smiled helplessly,

"Then four or six, no more, otherwise Aunt Bai will be too embarrassed to accept it."

She is just a hands-off shopkeeper, and the risks are all borne by the Zhang family. It is not good to ask for too much. Even so, it was much higher than her income from renting the land.

Zhang Yishan wanted to say more, but was stopped by her mother, "Just follow your Aunt Bai's wishes."

She accepted the idea, and just took the opportunity to exercise her daughter's abilities.

Next, Zhang Yiren called the Liang brothers over. These two were old men around him and were commendable for their loyalty.

This summer is very hot and the ice consumption is serious. They know very well how expensive the ice sold outside is. Therefore, the craft of making ice must be kept secret and cannot be leaked.

Before starting to make ice, Zhang Yiren not only beat up the Liang brothers, but also sent away all the irrelevant people.

Afterwards, mother and daughter watched Bai Yunxi direct the Liang brothers to make ice.

An hour later,

"……It's that simple?"

Zhang Yiren looked at the ice cubes dug out from the basin, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and stared at Baiyun River in shock.

Baiyunxi spread his hands, "It's that simple."

"Is this how the cooling ice cubes sold on the street are made?"

Zhang Yishan touched the ice cubes with disbelief in her eyes. She had always thought that the process of making ice cubes on such a hot day would be very troublesome. Unexpectedly, she put in some saltpeter and just waited.

"This is the most convenient method and the least troublesome."

"The black-hearted businessman, that's too much. It's so simple. They sell a piece of ice for two thousand dollars, and it melts in less than three days." The little girl clenched her fists and stomped her feet indignantly.

"Sister Shan, don't say that. The craftsmanship is in other people's hands. You have the right to decide how much you want to sell. Now that you know it, you think it's simple, but for others, it's still a way to make money and support their families. Skill."

Zhang Yiren glared at her daughter,

"The ice-making business is different from other businesses. You only sell it for one season a year, and you work for one season for a whole year."

"That's expensive...it's obviously all water."

Zhang Yishan pouted, looking at her mother's disapproving eyes, then turned to look at Baiyun Xi,

"Aunt Bai, what do you think?"
