The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Hearing this, Qian Mancang's face froze.He immediately looked at the prince, hoping that the prince would explain it as he had agreed.

Xiao Jingyu could understand Qian Mancang's eyes, and when he hesitated to speak, he heard the princess speak first.

In fact, after Tao Anran asked, he didn't bother to answer.He thought that Qian Mancang would consciously send the share to his yard as before.And this time I just saw him, and I was able to negotiate a business again.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Tao Anran first asked: "My lord, have you finished talking?"

Xiao Jingyu immediately replied: "The talk is over. However, is there something to do here now? If there is something to ask, it's good to let someone talk about it, so you don't need to go on a hot day. Aren't you the most afraid of heat?"

Tao Anran smiled and said, "But I want to meet you! And I made popsicles and fruit smoothies, and I want you to try them too."

After speaking, he opened the food box and took out popsicles and fruit smoothies.

As soon as Xiao Jingyu heard new words that he had never heard before, he knew that the princess had come up with something new.This time it seems to be something to eat.

Picking up the popsicles, Tao Anran pointed to the popsicles with different flavors, and asked, "My lord, here are mung bean flavors, milk matcha flavors, and sour plum and fruit flavored popsicles, which one do you want?"

Xiao Jingyu looked at it and chose the milk matcha flavored popsicle.

Tao Anran turned to look at Qian Mancang again, "Qian Mancang, which flavor do you like?"

Qian Mancang quickly said: "Your subordinates don't choose, the princess will choose first, and the rest will be given to your subordinates."

Since he said so, Tao Anran was not polite, and immediately chose a mung bean popsicle, and the remaining sour plum and fruit flavored popsicles were naturally full of money.

Even though the way here was in shady places, Tao Anran also felt the heat.Now eat a mung bean popsicle, just to relieve the heat.

Tao Anran slowly sucked the popsicle in his mouth. The first time the other two ate the popsicle, they took a bite with their upper teeth, and it was as if their teeth and tongue were frozen in an instant.But feeling the coldness of the popsicle in their mouths, they were all refreshed.It was as if all the fatigue and anxiety from before had been swept away.

But later, when they saw that the princess was eating slowly with a mouthful, they followed suit and ate slowly with a mouthful.It really isn't that cold anymore.

After eating half of the popsicle, Tao Anran quickly took out a large bowl of fruit smoothie.If you don't take it out, it should be melted.The white fine ice in the bowl is dotted with fruit particles of different colors, and the purple jam is poured on it, which looks delicious.

Tao Anran took the prepared small bowl and divided the large bowl of smoothie into three small bowls.Just one serving per person.Then push it in front of them.

Xiao Jingyu took a few bites to finish off the remaining popsicle in his hand, looked at the smoothie and suddenly asked, "Of course, how many cold things did you eat today?"

With a popsicle in her mouth, Tao Anran said vaguely, "Not much, just a little."

Xiao Jingyu glanced at him, took the smoothie in front of him, poured most of it into his own bowl, leaving only the bottom of the bowl for him.

Tao Anran bit the popsicle in her mouth, anxiously, "Oh, why did you finish my smoothie?"

Xiao Jingyu said helplessly: "You have already eaten too much cold food today, so you can't eat any more. Did you forget about the stomachache that happened a few days ago when you were greedy for cold food? And I asked Qu Zhishui to show you today, How did he say?"

Holding the bottom of the bowl, Tao Anran said resentfully: "Doctor Qu has seen it, and said that I am in good health. And I specially brought popsicle smoothies for you to taste, and you actually only left this little for me."

Xiao Jingyu was unmoved, and continued: "You can't waste your health. And did you go to the ice cellar to make these popsicle smoothies? You don't go to places that are too shady. If you have something to do, let the servants go."

Speaking of this, Tao Anran would like to refute.He quickly said: "This ice is not taken from the ice cellar, I made it."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Xiao Jingyu's surprised expression, he stared at Qian Mancang.Qian Mancang shivered holding the bowl.Although he was also surprised by what the princess said, he wished that he was not here at this time.

He should go out when the princess comes in, so he won't hear the flirting between the prince and the princess.I don't know if the prince will wear small shoes for him after hearing this.But popsicles and smoothies do cool off.

Tao Anran looked directly at Qian Mancang, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Qian Mancang, what do you think of this popsicle, is it delicious?"

Facing the oppressive gaze of the prince and the straightforward gaze of the princess, Qian Mancang slowly nodded and replied: "I have never eaten this kind of popsicle before. It tastes sweet, and it really cools off the heat. Thank you, princess, for letting me to have a good meal."

Tao Anran narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then what do you think of us selling popsicles wholesale?"

Qian Mancang asked curiously after hearing the words: "The princess just said that you made this ice. Is that why you want to sell popsicles? It's just that it takes time to sell these popsicles, and they melt easily."

Tao Anran shook his head, "That's not how it's sold. I'm talking about wholesale. At that time, we'll make simple-flavored popsicles, and we'll sell them for a few cents apiece, and let others sell them at retail. They can sell it for three or four pennies."

Qian Mancang's eyes lit up, not waiting for him to continue asking.

Tao Anran went on to say: "And this ice is indeed made by me, I have a unique secret recipe. The raw material is just water. At that time, add some sugar or other fruit juices to the popsicle at the most, so the cost is low. After all, the most important thing about popsicles is Ice, the taste is not very demanding. So, do you want to cooperate with me and sell popsicles together?"

Qian Mancang was very moved. When it came to business, he didn't care about the sight of the prince next to him.Especially the business that spent almost the same amount of money on buying food, and now urgently needs to be paid again.And according to Wang Hao, the business is simple and quick.

Qian Mancang replied happily: "Princess, my subordinate wants to cooperate with you to sell popsicles."

After getting an affirmative answer, Tao Anran was also very happy, and got another lucrative business.Although it can only be sold for one summer, it is good to accumulate a small amount.

He immediately said: "That's still according to the old rules. I will provide the ice-making skills and the formula of the popsicles, and you first write a sharing agreement."

Speaking of this, Tao Anran continued to ask, "By the way, how much was my share in the last two months? It should be quite a lot. Can you convert it into gold for me? Silver takes up a lot of space."

Qian Mancang froze, and he looked at the prince.But this time the prince ignored his gaze, and only concentrated on eating the fruit smoothie in the bowl.I completely forgot that I would explain to the princess in person what I promised before.

Qian Mancang was full of cows, and he didn't expect to wear small shoes so quickly.This is really a fire at the city gate, and it will bring disaster to him, a fish in the pond!

Seeing that the princess was still waiting for an answer, he couldn't help explaining: "Princess, that, the share, that's, that's..."

Tao Anran looked at Qian Mancang's embarrassed expression, and quickly asked, "What's wrong with you, are you stammering?"

Then he thought of something and continued: "Is it because I don't have my share? Could it be that you lost money in business! No, let alone other things, can you still lose money selling some salt and sugar?"

Tao Anran began to diverge her thinking, it seems that this situation is not impossible.What if he was warned by his colleagues when he was selling things, and then the government and business colluded to confiscate the goods.Thinking about it this way, it seems that this is indeed a possibility.

Xiao Jingyu put down the bowl in his hand, looked at the princess with frowning thoughts.I just saw that his face was a little weird, and I don't know what he thought of.Looking at Qian Mancang's expression of wanting to say something but being unable to say it, he stopped watching from the sidelines.

Xiao Jingyu cleared his throat, and after attracting Wang Hao's attention, he said, "Of course, I'm really sorry, but this time the share is gone. I let the money go to buy food. This time it will be recorded on the account first, and will be replenished later." your."

Tao Anran heard the answer and stopped the divergent thinking in her head.As long as it's not losing money in business.If the business loses money, it means that there will be problems with the subsequent share.If you just borrow it for the time being, then it's completely fine.

But after thinking about it, Tao Anran asked: "Is it the food prepared for this drought? Have you already bought enough food?"

Speaking of this, Qian Mancang's face was full of bitterness, and he replied: "Princess Wang, even if my subordinates used your share without your consent, they only bought half of the expected grain."

Tao Anran looked puzzled, and asked: "Is it because we don't have enough money? Or is it because someone sees that we need more, and raises the price to kill customers?"

Xiao Jingyu sighed, and replied, "If that's the case, then it's not a big problem. The biggest problem this time is that there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if it is a land of fish and rice, there is no surplus food to sell this time."

Tao Anran was startled, she didn't expect this to be the reason.He looked at the helplessness on Xiao Jingyu's face, and didn't know what to do to comfort him.

He had no choice but to grab his sleeves, pursed his lips and asked, "Then we only bought half of the food, will it be enough for us later? I still have some money, and I haven't used the previous share, so let's use it to buy food."

Qian Mancang was moved. Although the business under his hand can make money, it always takes time.How can there be ready-made money to use.Moreover, Wang Hao's previous share was all handled by him, which is not a small amount of money.Now is the time when his hands are tight, and with this money, he can do many things again.

Just before Qian Mancang could say something, he was interrupted.

Xiao Jingyu said with disapproval, "No way! How can I use your money."

The princess's money belongs to his private house.How can he use it.Buying food this time is considered an exception, and it will be returned as it is.If he used his private money in normal times, wouldn't it be as shameful as those incompetent men using his wife's dowry.

Seeing the different reactions of Qian Mancang and Xiao Jingyu, Tao Anran knew that money was really needed.

He persuaded: "I didn't give it to you for nothing, I have to pay it back. This time it is a loan, and I need to write a receipt. Then I will pay me back with some interest. Besides, my lord, I am your princess, and I want to pay you back." Do your best to help you."

Xiao Jingyu looked at Wang Hao's sincere eyes and was a little moved.The concubine has said so much, if he refuses again, it seems to be slapping his face.

He finally nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you Ranran!"
