Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

"Hey, I got it, Mom."

After explaining, Yan Xia scooped half of the bowl out of a small bowl.

Pour in water like washing rice and simply wash away the dust.

Then put the moist ice powder seeds on the gauze and wrap it.

Then fill a basin of clean cold water and soak the gauze wrapped with ice powder seeds in it.

Start kneading after one minute, knead until the water thickens and then pour in the lime water.

Then skim off the bubbles and bring the basin to a cool place to wait for solidification.

Since there was no refrigerator, it took twice as long for the ice powder to solidify.

It's around two o'clock in the afternoon, which is when the shop is busiest, with an endless stream of customers.

Yan Xia cut the ice powder into chunks with a knife.

Put it into a bamboo cup.

Sprinkle two spoons of brown sugar water, one spoon of rose jam, and crushed watermelon, and the ice powder is ready.

She took the first taste.

It's ice cold, like chewing solid water, with the refreshing taste of watermelon, the sweetness of brown sugar water and the fragrance of rose jam.

The taste is indescribably delicious.

"Come on, you can eat the remaining half bowl of Osmanthus, and I'll make a new one for your brother, just enough to make him greedy for the guests."

The bamboo cup is huge.

Just like modern bamboo tube milk tea.

She has many at home, after all, there is a bamboo forest in the low mountain.

But there are only 20 in the shop.

If we sell it today, we can only sell 18 copies at most.

No container.

So Yan Xia doesn't plan to let people try it.

When she goes back in the evening, she asks Jinfu Jinlu to go to the bamboo forest to cut more bamboo to make cups. Tomorrow she will bring a hundred and eighty of them, and she will take her daughter and daughters-in-law to dig out some spoons from the dry firewood at home.

Strive to achieve zero cost.

In this way, after eating, the guests can continue to use the cups and spoons.

The best of both worlds.

"Mom, is this ice powder? It really looks like ice cubes, and it tastes very cool and sweet. It relieves the heat immediately. I like it so much."

After all, she is a little girl and she likes to eat sweet things.

Osmanthus's eyes narrowed slightly, her face full of happiness.

"Eat it. Mom will make it for you after you finish."

She brought the freshly made ice powder to the front of the shop.

Jin Fu was selling peach cakes. He wrapped the bag and handed it to the customer opposite, then took the money and was about to ask what the next person wanted.

"Son, come here, Mom has made a new product, you can try it to see if it tastes good."

Yan Xia deliberately amplified her voice to attract all the guests to look at her.

"Shopkeeper Yan, what new product are you making? Do you have any to try? Let me try it. If it tastes good, I will buy it."

"Yes, we are almost tired of eating peach cakes. The sun is too hot today and I always feel that I have no appetite. Sometimes I don't even want to eat food, let alone cakes. If my wife didn't like to eat it, you might have to watch it some days. Miss me."

"Hey, how come this new product is packed in a bamboo tube, and what is the way to eat it?"

Several people talked nonstop.

The shop suddenly became noisy.

"Wow, Mom, it feels so cool to eat the ice powder. I feel less hot instantly."

Jin Fu's praise made several people shut their mouths briefly.

Yan Xia took the ice powder from her son's hand, walked to the guests, and let them take a look.

"This is called ice powder. It is a new product in my shop. Eating it can relieve the heat and make you feel comfortable from head to toe. A cup only costs half a tael. You also know how expensive ice cubes are, and my ice powder tastes like It’s almost the same as using iced fruits.”

Yan Xia boasted a little.

"Really, shopkeeper, why don't you do a trial? Ouch, it's quite expensive. I'd feel bad if it doesn't taste good. Can you give us a cup to try?"

The guest who spoke looked less affluent.

Although she was wearing silk clothes, the color had faded after washing.

He also had a very handsome face, it was probably his first time coming to her shop.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to try it. The main reason is that the ingredients for ice powder are extremely expensive. I can't afford to try it in a small business. And as you can see, ice powder needs a container and is eaten with a spoon. There are so many people. How many bamboo spoons do I need to get, right? You compare my feelings with others, I don’t want you to try the same cup, and don’t tell me that I am losing money too much. In this way, anyone who buys ice powder today will buy two and get one free, which is one tael of silver. I can buy three cups. There is nothing unpalatable about what I, Mr. Yan, make. Just buy it if you believe me. Son, go ahead and eat quickly. Look, you were still sweating just now, but the sweat disappeared after just one bite of the ice powder. "

In fact, Jin Fu had just wiped his sweat with a towel, but the guests' eyes were attracted by the ice powder and they didn't notice him.

Seeing his mother say this, Jin Fu couldn't help but discredit her.

He acquiesced to Yan Xia's words, took the ice powder and ate it.

It's really delicious.

This comes from the heart.

"Give me a tael of silver. It's just a small amount. I'll take just three cups home to share with my wife and children."

"I'll have three drinks too."

"I'll have six cups. There are six of us in my family. I trust you, Shopkeeper Yan. Nothing in your shop is unpalatable."

"..."

There were 5 people in the shop, except for the one who wanted to try something just now.

Bought them all.

"I, I won't buy it. The shopkeeper can give me a bag of original peach cake."

This man was a little embarrassed. He pretended to look down on the ice powder and left after buying the peach cake.

The remaining four people were waiting in the shop for Yan Xia to make ice powder.

The ingredients are all ready-made, Yan Xia only needs to put the ice powder into a bamboo tube and sprinkle with seasonings.

All done in ten minutes.

She took a big tray and brought out all the ice powder that several people asked for.

Because there is no spoon.

Yan Xia had no choice but to take out four wooden spoons that he had never used and gave them to them.

One of the old men started eating first.

He nodded while eating, looking very satisfied.

“Not bad, it’s really cool and delicious!”

The remaining three people couldn't wait to taste it.

After one bite, everyone praised it.

Yan Xia sent a few people away with a smile and sold 15 cups at once, which was five taels of silver.

This money is made so quickly!

The ice powder in the basin was only half gone.

I estimate that one pot can make about 30 cups.

When the time came, I closed the shop and the remaining three bamboo tubes were used up. The ice powder was sold for 6 taels of silver, while the original peach cake was only sold for 4 taels of silver.

I made a total of 40 taels today.

Peach-flavored peach cake accounts for the majority.

Yan Xia poured the remaining brown sugar water, crushed watermelon, and crushed watermelon into the basin of ice powder. She left out the rose jam. After all, she still had to make flower cakes for the family to eat. She was not that particular. She covered the basin with gauze. Ready to take home.

Getting on the bullock cart familiarly, the family of three, Zhao Dali and Lao Niu headed home.

The Yan family at this time.

Jin Lu had just finished hoeing the fields. He put the precipitated ash water into a bucket, and took the machete to go to the short mountain to chop some more firewood.

"Husband, I will go with you."

Wang Jingshui also took a machete.

"Farewell, aunt, please take a break. In the afternoon, you have to go weeding in the field with me. Your face is red from the sun. Your mother will be back soon. If she sees you chopping firewood, she will scold me. Just take it as a sign. It’s for me, so you can rest, okay? If you really can’t take any time off, go help my sister-in-law and Lamei cook.”
