The shopkeeper of Ruyi Ice Shop slumped on a chair, staring at the hot sun outside, dumbfounded.

This is not right!

It has been a long time since the price increase of ice cubes, and people who say they can’t buy ice after the price increase never come to Ruyi Ice Shop again.

This has never happened in previous years.

In previous years, every time the ice shop raised the price, the stewards who came to buy ice were very dissatisfied, saying that they disliked the price and would not buy it.

But in the end, didn't they still have to swallow their anger and come back to buy ice, treating the person from Ruyi Ice Shop as an uncle?

But what's going on today?

The weather is so hot, the sun is so hot, isn't it time to use a lot of ice?

Why don't they come?

Without ice, can they survive the scorching heat?

Those squeamish ladies and ladies, aren't they clamoring for ice cubes to cool off?

Those noble gentlemen, can't bear the sweat?

Those restaurants and restaurants, do not need ice to attract customers and store ingredients?

Hey!

The shopkeeper felt that it was evil.

If you think about it, it's not right, so send out the unemployed guys in the shop to go to the city to inquire about this strange thing.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!"

No, the guy who inquired about the news is back.

Then the shopkeeper knew about the cold ice shop!

I also know that so many customers who came to buy ice in previous years left as soon as they said they would, without leaving any reason for their sympathy.

"Ice cold shop? Why haven't I heard of this shop in previous years?" asked the shopkeeper, "Do you know who opened it?"

"I heard, yes, it's the Jiang family."

Jiang family?The shopkeeper's expression became serious.

In other words, who in this city is so capable that he can buy all the customers of Ruyi Ice Shop without looking back?

It turned out to belong to Concubine Jiang Xian's family.

"But..." The shopkeeper stroked his chin, "The cold ice shop can accommodate so many people who buy ice, so much ice, where did it come from?"

In Prefecture City, there are more than a dozen counties and counties, and Ruyi Ice Shop has the largest ice cellar and the largest amount of ice storage. It can also directly sell ice cubes specially provided by the government office, so that the price can be raised every year.

There is no other way, selling ice is only a few months' business, and naturally you have to earn as much as you can in a short period of time. Once the price is raised, it will be a huge profit that will roll into the account.

Because the price increase is just a labor pain for those who need ice. After two or three months, the cost will not need to be paid, so Renren passed.

But it's a different story when someone pops up out of nowhere to steal the deal from them.

People in Prefecture City who can afford ice are basically registered at Ruyi Ice Shop. There are many, but the annual consumption of ice cubes is only that amount. If they have to go to the cold ice shop to buy ice, RuyiHow can the ice from the ice shop be sold?

In the past, the Ruyi Ice Shop was the only one, even if there were small ice shops here and there, they were not afraid.

Because these people need a lot of ice cubes, no other ice shop can afford to supply them except Ruyi Ice Shop.

Now the cold ice store has actually eaten more than half of the customers, that is to say, the ice store has a lot of ice.

Where does his ice come from?

The shopkeeper was puzzled, if he wanted to change to an ordinary ice shop, if he dared to sneak away the customers of Ruyi ice shop like this, he would have been so annoyed that he would have sent someone to smash it up to teach them a lesson.

In Prefecture City, they knew that Xuanping Hou Cui's family was running this business, but no one dared to challenge him like that?

But behind the cold ice shop was the Jiang family, so he didn't dare to act rashly. After thinking about it, he decided to report the matter to the Cui family's steward, and then the Cui family's steward told the Cui mansion about it.The actual person in charge of Liruyi Ice Shop, Cui Siye.

After all, every year after summer, the ice shop earns such a large amount of money, but this year it suddenly loses so much money. When the accounts are settled at the end of the month, the owner will definitely notice something is wrong.

At that time, if you are punished by the master for not doing well, it is better to report it now and let the master decide.

Fourth Master Cui heard about the cold ice shop, and heard about the Jiang family behind the cold ice shop, and when the steward mentioned that the cold ice shop had lost a lot of income recently, he snorted coldly and put the teacup on the table heavily.one put.

"What a Jiang family! Are you not paying attention to my Cui family?"

"Fourth Master! I heard that the ice cubes in his house are still two or two. Let's do it if you want..."

"Bah! Who doesn't know in Prefecture City that Cui's house has the largest ice cellar with the most ice? When the little cold ice shop sells out of ice, don't you have to go back and buy ours? If you don't sell it, I'll look at himWhen will the shop be sold!"

So the people at Ruyi Ice Shop stopped, quietly waiting for the cold ice shop to sell out of ice, and waiting for customers to come to the door again.

Waiting and waiting, but none of the customers who left came back.

Is there so much ice in the cooler?

There is so much ice in the cold ice shop.

Today, the local tyrants who own ice are also in the ice-cold sugar shop, enjoying the luxurious life of ice shop making money every day.

Today, she is going to challenge a luxurious sugar water: mango ice.

But Mian Mian Bing sounded too weak, so she changed it to an upper-class name?????, called Sushan Mango Mian Bing.

As an authentic sugar water fan, how could she not want to eat mango nectar, mango shaved ice, mango tofu, etc., etc.?

But, when was shopping for ingredients, told Liu Feng to run away and broke his leg, but he didn't find sago, grapefruit, or mango.

Then I found out that there are no grapefruits in this dynasty, and local grapefruits are not in season. As for sago and mangoes, they are also rare goods in this dynasty, so rare that some people have never even heard of them.

Sago is an absolutely indispensable raw material for making sugar water in summer!How could it be missing?

The same goes for mangoes. How can summer be called summer without mangoes?

Since the Prefecture City can't be found, then send someone back to the county seat and ask Brother Jian to look for it at the pier.

However, Simi could not be found, but Mango found a bag and returned.

According to Jian Ge's description, a sea merchant sold the precious fruit brought back from Nanyang through hardships and hardships to Jian Ge.

Brother Jian also made a quick move. Haishang said fifty taels would be fifty taels, and he would rather buy the wrong one than let it go. The fifty taels a bag of mangoes was sent to Prefecture City just like that.

Then, Chen Nianguan learned that he bought thirty mangoes for fifty taels of silver.

Chen Nianguan Little Darling took a hard pain, and then comforted himself, calm down, calm down, you are now a rich man with a lot of money, buy thirty mangoes for fifty taels, Piece of cake!

In fact, fell asleep at night and still screamed in dream: TM, who would buy thirty mangoes for fifty taels, the super expensive ones, okay?She had never eaten such an expensive mango in her previous life.

Even if she has money, she doesn't spend it like this!

Hey, even if I am rich, the root of stinginess deep in my heart is still not removed!

Fortunately, although the mango is expensive, it is plump and has a good appearance. peeled one and ate it, sucked it, and it was sweet to the heart and lungs. It is indeed a precious fruit brought back from Nanyang!

So Chen Nianguan decided to enjoy the remaining twenty-nine mangoes, which are almost two to one, and make a mango ice cream first.

It is impossible to make the full version of mango ice cream, because she does not have yogurt on hand, nor can she find lactic acid bacteria to make yogurt, but she has milk!

Therefore, it is not impossible to make an improved version of mango ice.

Peel the mango, cut the exposed pulp into small pieces with a knife, then pour it into a stone pound, mash it into a paste, then add an appropriate amount of milk, add a little honey, stir well, and put it in the refrigerator.Wait until it cools to solidify before using it.

Take another mango, cut it into pieces in the same way, and then mash it into mango paste, and cut the remaining pulp, including leftovers, into pieces for later use.

The next step is to take out the edible ice and chop it with a knife. If the knife is good, it is best to draw some ice shreds.

Take out the frozen mango milk, first scrape it out and pour some on the plate, then put a layer of crushed ice and ice shreds, then scrape out the mango milk layer by layer with a knife, and pile it up obliquely to form a hill,

The bottom is milky yellow, the upper layer is transparent colored shaved ice, and then the upper layer is milky yellow continuous ice, layered on top of each other, it is really beautiful.

Drizzle some of the original yellow mango sauce from the top of the mountain, and then garnish it with diced mangoes, then a mango ice cream is ready.

Of course, it is impossible for fifty taels of silver to be wasted like this.

After Chen Nianguan made the first mango ice cream, he immediately served it out to the ladies and ladies in the sugar shop to watch.

"This is a new type of ice product launched by the shop!"

"It's a dessert made of rare fruits brought back from Nanyang!"

"The color is bright and the taste is sweet."

"The quantity is limited, only sold today, first come first served!"

The ladies who come to the Tangshui shop are used to the style that the Tangshui shop will have new products launched every one or two days. They know that those new products are only sold within one or two days. If you miss it, you will never taste it again..

They remember that the first two days were stewed eggs with fresh milk and papaya, the next two days were iced lotus root and lotus dew, the next two days were colorful taro dumpling snowflake soup, and the next two days were phoenix fried milk... Wait, waitWait, everyone who has eaten is said to be good, and those who have not eaten are regretful.

So when the beautiful Sushan Mango Ice was rolled out, the wives and ladies were full of joy, but they were a little hesitant when they heard that it was made from a rare fruit from Nanyang.

The fruits from Nanyang are novelty, so what if they are not delicious?

After the first lady who tried it out found it delicious, she placed orders one after another.

Chen Nianguan smiled happily.

In the name of Nanyang precious fruit, two mangoes are made into three crisp mountains, and each is sold for two taels of silver, four taels become six taels, and the money will be paid back soon!

When the ladies and ladies in the sugar shop were crazy about the mango cake, a rare visitor came to the door.

Chen Nianguan himself was holding a piece of crispy mango ice and was enjoying himself, when he heard the male waiter greet the guests with a smile: "Hello, my lord, the sugar water in our sugar shop is delicious, Guiling jelly, double skin milk, ice cream, etc.Cheese sweet bowl, you have everything you want, hurry up, please come inside."

Because he was wearing a Langjun suit, Chen Nianguan was also sitting in the Langjun area at this time. Turning his head to look, he saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing an expensive brocade robe walked into the shop, fanning himself with one hand, with his head held high, he inspected the store with critical eyes, his face softened a little, and he put away the fan in his hand.

Chen Nianguan didn't recognize the diner, but he recognized the steward beside him.

It was the steward who entertained them in the Cui Mansion, and the steward stood respectfully behind this man, who is the master of the Cui Mansion?

The steward cast a quick glance into the store, then bowed his head respectfully.

I saw her, maybe it was because didn't see her clearly enough, or maybe it was because Chen Nianguan was wearing a gentleman's suit, so didn't recognize her.

When the master of Cui's family was going to the right, he was stopped by the waiter, and his expression suddenly fell.

"Why? Don't you allow me to choose a place to sit down?"

"My lord, that's the women's section over there, and this is the special seat for a gracious lord like you." The male waiter explained with an apologetic smile, "This way please, this way please."

"Grandpa, what would you like to eat?"

Cui Siye sat down loudly, glanced at the wooden sign hanging on the wall, and when he looked away, he fell on the bowl of mango ice in front of Chen Nianguan's table, put away his fan, pointed and asked: "What's that?"

"My lord, you happened to catch up. This is a new product launched by our boss today. It's limited for sale today, and it will be gone tomorrow. It's called Sushan Mango Ice. It costs two taels of silver. Would you like a copy?"

"Tsk tsk! I heard that the one tael of Guiling jelly in your Tangshui shop is already the first in Prefecture City. So there are two taels of this stuff?" Cui fourth master couldn't believe it.

"My lord, you don't know that this mango is a rare fruit bought by the owner himself from a sea merchant in Nanyang. It is hard to buy! You can go to other restaurants and restaurants to ask if you can find it in other places.Got this fruit?"

The male waiter was not annoyed at all, and smiled: "It's our shop, and there are not many fruits here. The ladies and ladies who came to the shop today all ordered this order, because they missed today, so they didn't get the ice cream for sale..”

The male waiter was eloquent like a lotus, and Chen Nianguan nodded his head while listening.

This guy is not bad, and he will have to add labor later.

"Tsk, do you seem to be someone who can't afford this stuff?" Cui Siye snapped and put the fan on the desk, "This soft ice, tortoise jelly, and what else, double-skin milk, allGive Grandpa one."

"Hey, my lord, just wait a moment, we will place an order for you right now."

Chen Nianguan buried his head and continued to eat his remaining Sushan Mango Ice.

Fourth Master Cui took a look at Chen Nianguan, thinking that he was a thin young man, so he ignored it. After the cold snacks that were ordered were delivered, Fourth Master Cui picked up the spoon and ate the most expensive crispy mangoice.

It's amazing to eat this.

Cui Si only thinks that it melts in the mouth, sweet and fragrant, and cool to the heart, two words, delicious!

Where did this fruit come from?Was it really brought back by Nanyang marine merchants?Should he also find a sea merchant to buy some of these fruits?

But, bought it back, can’t do it!

Cui Si had another thought in his mind, hey, in this sugar shop, where did Master Chen invite the cook?Isn't it all right to poach people away?

At that time, not only can I make this ice cream for myself, but also this tortoise jelly, and this pair of skin milk...

Cui Si efficiently finished eating the ice cream, then pushed away Guiling Jelly to deal with Shuangpi Nai.

Hmm, milky white milk and dark red honey red beans, the colors collide with each other vividly, it looks delicious, take one bite, two bites, three or four bites...

Sweet and delicate, with a mellow taste, why didn't he know that this Tangshui shop had such delicious desserts?

It feels like the summer of the previous period has been wasted in vain.

Such delicious food should be eaten once a day.

Cui Si ate so happily that he even forgot what he was supposed to do when he came here. He finished eating Shuangpi Nai, licked his tongue, pushed away the bowl of Guiling jelly, called the waiter, and was about to open his mouth.He stopped him: "Master, we're here to see that Master Chen." The steward said, silently mouthing the word "ice shop".

Cui Si suddenly remembered, oh, yes, the master came to kick the restaurant, and was almost bought by the gourmet food.

So he pushed Guiling Jelly again, and asked, "Where's that one from your family, Master Chen?"

Since he couldn't wait for repeat customers, Cui Si investigated the Liangbing shop carefully. Naturally, he knew that the owner of the Liangbing shop was Chen Nianguan, and then followed this line to check., and then, um, the information that the prefect's wife had investigated, jumped to Cui's eyes one by one.

Fan family.

Peng family.

Jiang family.

"I heard that this Master Chen is also very familiar with the prefect Cao's family."

Cui Si's eyelids kept twitching.

When did such a powerful character come to Prefecture City, why didn't he know about it?

Good fellow, the boss who has been involved with all the officials of the four surnames is so exquisite!

If Chen Nianguan knew what Cui Si was thinking at this time, he would definitely say with a smile, everyone appreciates it!

"Come on, let's meet this Master Chen."

At this time, the steward who followed Cui Siye hadn't connected the Chen Si girl he had entertained with Chen Nianguan and Chen Dong's family.

The people he had received in the Cui Mansion, on the one hand, those insignificant characters, he usually left them behind at the time; on the other hand, in the stereotyped impression of the manager, being able to get involved with so many powerful women,It couldn't have been the mediocre characters he'd forgotten.

At this time, standing behind Fourth Master Cui, when he was looking carefully at the inside of the store, he saw Chen Nianguan, saw it clearly, but didn't take it to heart.After reminding Fourth Master Cui that they were here to see Master Chen, they kept silent again.

"Want to see our boss?"

"That's right, you tell your master to tell your master, it's the Cui family of Xuanping Hou Mansion, Fourth Master Cui, come to see her and chatter."

The smile on the waiter's face froze, and he turned to look at Chen Nianguan on the side.

Chen Nianguan smiled, and turned to look at Fourth Master Cui: "Fourth Master Cui, I am the Master Chen of this sugar shop."

Fourth Master Cui was taken aback, looking at the male waiter, who looked at him and nodded.

That's right, this is our boss, the real deal.

Fourth Master Cui burst out laughing: "Master Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Cui Siye, your name is like a thunderbolt!"

No, when he loudly told the waiter that he was Cui Siye, Chen Nianguan almost choked on a cold drink.

Fourth Master Cui, why does this name sound so familiar?

Oh, by the way, the time they dug the secret passage, the time they listened to someone at the foot of the bed, wasn't Baby Yan'er called Fourth Master Cui?

How many families surnamed Cui are there in Prefecture City?How many Fourth Master Cui?

is it him?

What is he looking for?

Fourth Master Cui was amazed, and looked at Chen Nianguan unceremoniously up and down, "Hey, Master Chen, it's no wonder no one can recognize you with your outfit, I think you look more like a guy than a boss."

Chen Nianguan touched the thin bangs on his forehead, not embarrassing at all.

Hmph, underestimated her quiet and unassuming local tyrant, this master must not know that in the city where she lived in her last life, people who always wear vests and slippers are renters and renters who occupy several buildings every minute.

Chen Nianguan smiled slightly and said: "So, what people in this world say, one can't judge a person by their appearance, the sea water cannot be measured, is specially created to describe people like me."

"Hahahaha!" Fourth Master Cui raised his head and laughed, "Interesting, interesting."

"Cui Fourth Master has something to do with me?"

"Yeah." Fourth Master Cui suppressed his smile, grabbed the fan and patted it, and then looked at the storefront.

Judging from the information he investigated, this Master Chen is really an extraordinary lady!

Don't talk about her behind-the-scenes relationship with the four big families, just talk about her wrist, courage, and her young age. After opening a store in Funing County, she dared to come to Prefecture City to open a second branch.After a while, he opened an ice shop with the Jiang family, and opened this sugar shop.

It is said that even the chefs in each store were excavated by her, and she herself seems to have extraordinary cooking skills!

How did such an outstanding talent fall into the Jiang family's hands?

What benefit did it give?

Fourth Master Cui looked at Chen Nianguan's face, and suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Master Chen, you're quite pretty."

"Congrats!" Chen Nianguan giggled, feeling a bit taken aback.

Bad, someone finally realized that his appearance is not bad, and he is still a master of the Hou family, is he about to encounter some kind of robbery scene?

It's a pity that this fourth master is neither personable nor handsome. He's still an uncle, not her cup of tea!

"Why is fourth master Cui looking for me?"

Fourth Master Cui shook the fan in his hand and said, "I heard that Master Chen cooperated with the Jiang family to open an ice shop. I'm here to make a deal with Master Chen."

??

Chen Nianguan was shocked.

Doesn't the Cui Mansion run Ruyi Ice Shop?

There is also the ice cellar of the government government office that provides ice delivery, and actually went to the cold ice shop to buy ice?

Is Fourth Master Cui out of his mind?

Fourth Master Cui nodded, and the steward handed Chen Nianguan a few thousand taels of silver bills.

"This is 10,000 taels. I, Fourth Master Cui, want to buy 5,000 pieces of ice from your ice store. How about it?"

Chen Nianguan gasped.

I'm afraid it's not a fool who specially sent a bank note to himself?

"Of course it's possible." Chen Nianguan responded quickly, grabbing the 10,000 taels quickly, fearing that it would be too late, and Fourth Master Cui would regret it.

"Five thousand pieces of ice, our ice shop may not be able to get so much ice for the time being, fourth master, can you allow a few more days?" Chen Nianguan asked.

"That's not okay, I just want to use these five thousand pieces of ice during this month, when the heat is the hottest." Fourth Master Cui said proudly, "I want you to give the ice to me within three days.I will send it to Cui's residence."

Well, Chen Nianguan understands, this Fourth Master Cui is not here to deliver the bank notes, but to find fault.

"Understood, Fourth Master Cui, then, are you coming to our ice shop to deliver ice? Or should we send someone over there?"

"I, Fourth Master Cui, gave you such a large business, so naturally you gave it." Fourth Master Cui said, "Within three days, a lot of land will be delivered to Cui's residence."

"Understood, Fourth Master Cui, our ice shop will deliver the ice to your house within three days."

Chen Nianguan nodded.

It's a fool to have money but not make money, this Fourth Master Cui is simply their God of Wealth!

Da La La ten thousand taels of silver!

As expected, it is worthy of the Marquis Mansion. People with titles and status in the family behave differently!

Do you think that a mere 5,000 pieces of ice can stump their cold ice shop?

Nonono, let's open his eyes and make him regret underestimating us!

Then Fourth Master Cui was also straightforward. Seeing that Chen Nianguan agreed, and offered to establish written evidence as evidence, he readily agreed.

He was afraid that Master Chen would not accept this big deal, so he took a look at the note written by Chen Nianguan: Within three days, the cold ice shop needs to send 5,000 pieces of ice to Cuifu in Yuji Lane.double compensation.

Feeling okay, took the Langhao pen handed over by Chen Nianguan, signed name, and stamped a private seal as proof.

Chen Nianguan immediately went to the ice shop, gathered the four beasts and Liu Yang, and held an emergency meeting.

Hearing that a customer took 5,000 pieces of ice at one time, everyone gasped like Chen Nianguan.

"Who? Want so much ice at one go?"

"Delivery within three days, it's a little troublesome!"

Yes, quite troublesome.

Because wanted to do a big job at the beginning, the ice cellar designed by Chen Nianguan was dug deep and big. There are seven areas in the ice cellar, except for one edible ice area, and the other six areas.Frozen ice, all piled with ice cubes.

As for the six zones, basically each zone can store 500 pieces of ice, that is, the total amount of ice stored is 3,000 pieces of ice.

In other words, the 5,000 pieces of ice requested by Fourth Master Cui, and all the 3,000 pieces of ice stored in the cellar were not enough for him.

Fourth Master Cui came prepared and guessed very accurately.

If the cold ice store is like other ordinary stores, and the sold ice cannot be replaced, then taking his business will not only consume the ice in his own ice cellar, but also have to find a place to buy the remaining two thousand pieces of ice.

And he insisted that it be delivered within three days.

In such a short period of time, definitely can’t go to other places to buy ice, but if can’t make up two thousand pieces of ice, have to pay back ten thousand taels.

In Prefecture City, where can buy two thousand pieces of ice in the shortest time?

Ruyi ice shop.

Therefore, Fourth Master Cui's move is called drawing the bottom line.

He spent 10,000 taels, and he could ask the cold ice shop to sell out the ice, and he had to go to Ruyi Ice Shop to buy a piece of ice for three taels of silver, which would cost two thousand taels, so the total cost would be six thousand taels.

In addition to paying back the six thousand taels, he also bought three thousand two taels of ice cheaply. He said that he would send it to the Cui Mansion, but who knows, whether he will change hands and send it to the Ruyi Ice Shop, and then use it as an ice cube.Sell at a price of three or two?

Then he can earn another three thousand taels.

10,000 taels is the return of 9,000 taels.

After such a toss, the cold ice shop has no more ice to sell. It means that he only spent one thousand taels to kill one of the most powerful competitors.make big money.

It's a pity that Fourth Master Cui made a huge calculation and made a mistake. The ice cubes in the cold ice shop can actually be supplied in unlimited quantities.

Different from other ice cellars, the sold ice cannot be replenished, and it will be consumed forever. The ice in the cold ice shop, every time how much ice is sold every day, the four beasts will go back to bring back so much water, and make half of the ice at night.The other half is put in the ice cellar, and when nothing is done at night, it can be frozen at a low temperature and stored.

Therefore, Fourth Master Cui thought that if he sold him five thousand pieces of ice, their cold ice shop would be unsustainable without ice, which was a big mistake.

After some discussion, the delivery of ice is limited to three days, so five thousand pieces of ice will be delivered in three days.

In the first two days, 1,500 yuan will be given away, and in the last day, 2,000 yuan will be given away.

That is to say, there are at least five deliveries a day, each with a load of 300 pieces of ice.

The trouble is, while consuming 1,500 pieces of ice every day, the vacancy of 1,500 pieces of ice has to be filled as soon as possible, or even more—except for Cui Siye’s business, who comes to the cold ice shop to buy ice every dayThe other customers of the company also have to meet their needs!

So the four beasts, including Liu Yang, must join the ranks of ice-making every night.

Another point is shipping.

Now there is only one donkey cart in the ice shop, and it can only be transported once. When Tiao Liu Feng comes, it can be transported twice, or maybe it can be divided into three transports and six times.

But Chen Nianguan is not.

How can such a good opportunity be missed?

She felt that it was time to trouble the steward Wang of Jiangfu.
