433 Must Be Nice

Xue Yan did not speak, it was still Jiang Yue who spoke first.

“It’s really delicious. It’s sweet and sour. My mouth is small, so I have to take two bites. You have big mouths, so you can eat it in one bite. I think it is a fruit and it’s very delicious. Xue Yan and I have discussed it on the way here. If we’re free tomorrow, we’ll not only sell red bean ice next time, but can also sell raspberry ice.

“These don’t look like the raspberries in the wild. They should be another type of berry. To distinguish them, Xue Yan thought about it and decided to name it strawberry. I think it’s a good name. If we’re going to sell this, we’ll call it strawberry ice, not raspberry ice.

“We can cut the fruit into small pieces, or just put it directly on ice with some sugar. It should be very delicious.”

“Sounds perfect!” Xue Sifu’s eyes lit up. “Alright, we’ll do as you say. Especially you, Jiang Yue, you know what to do best when it comes to things like these. I believe in you! At that time, everyone will have more choices and won’t have to eat red bean ice every time they come.”

Jiang Yue glanced at Xue Yan.

“Once the fruit turns red, it will go bad easily. We should eat it as soon as possible. Even if our business is good, we don’t need so many fruits. We can’t eat a lot of them since we have an acre of land. I think we should sell most of the fruits to others. Besides, they are not the raspberries found in the wild. The clinic won’t want them. It’s better to make some money this way.”

“You’re right, we can’t just leave it at home to rot. I’ll try it later and see if it’s that good. If it’s good, I’ll put it on the stall and tell the people who come to eat ice to have a try. I’m sure many people will buy it if it’s good.” Xue Sifu said.

“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.

On the other side of the sunshade, Jinshan’s mother and Li Qingshu’s mother were boiling the soaked rice noodles. They just had to cook it casually, then take it out and let it cool at the side. When the time came, they would prepare it when needed.

They prepared a lot more than yesterday. If it wasn’t enough, they could cook more later. This process would become much smoother now. He always had to prepare it first in case he was busier when the time came.

As for the others,they were basically ready, even a few buckets of water had been filled up from the water collection area. They were idle for the time being. They sat down, but felt uneasy. They looked at Xue Sifu, not knowing what to do.

“You guys can sit first. When it’s almost noon, you won’t be able to rest even if you want to, let alone take a breather.” Xue Sifu smiled.

Since he had said so, these people could only sit. They all felt that this was much better than doing physical work all day, and they were all paid fifteen coins a day.

The two people who wanted to buy ice but didn’t write a letter came again. Xue Sifu quickly called them to the small table where Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were sitting.

“Although we didn’t write a document yesterday,” one of them said anxiously, “We’ve agreed to start sending ice today. When are you guys sending it?”

“The ox cart has already gone back to bring more. Each of them weighs sixty kilograms. As long as the document is written and you pay the deposit, it will be delivered to your respective residences before noon.” Jiang Yue said as she ground the ink for Xue Yan.

Xue Yan spread out the paper and saw that the ink had been ground. Then he took a pen from the pen holder and began to write.

“That’s good, that’s good,” Both of them were very happy, stretching their necks to watch Xue Yan write the documents.
