436 A Little

However, the popsicle had already melted quite a bit. He drank the cold water in the bowl first, then picked up the popsicle and continued eating.

Jiang Yue had already finished her meal, so she took the document and looked at it before putting it back.

Before noon, a few documents were set up.

Seeing that the person paid the deposit and left, Jiang Yue lowered her voice and said to Xue Yan in a volume that only Xue Yan could hear, “If someone else comes to place the ice, we can’t say that it will be delivered before noon. After all, there is only so much saltpeter we have. There is a limit to how much ice we can make in the morning.”

“Of course.” Xue Yan nodded. He also knew this.

It was already noon, and the four tables were already full. The long lines were waiting for their share of ice, and the scene was even more lively than yesterday.

It was only the second day of selling ice, and the news of the ice here had spread far. Today, the news spread even more. In addition, there were people who didn’t get to eat ice yesterday and came again today. The place wasn’t completely packed, but it was really crowded. Even the surrounding stalls were full of people.

There was even a line of people at the fork in front.

Some of them even brought their children to eat ice. With so many people, it was naturally especially noisy.

At this time, Li Qingshu’s mother and the others wished they had four hands. At first, they felt quite free and felt bad for bumming around, but now, they were so busy that they didn’t have the time to think about these things.

The popsicles in the stall were also sold one by one.

Sifu didn’t need to prepare the rice noodles and crushed ice anymore, so he was naturally more at ease when serving the customers. The dry rice noodles were quickly prepared and quickly served.

As long as they had not bought any dried rice noodles before, they would at least buy one or two kilograms of it after Xue Sifu’s convincing.

Wufu had not returned yet. He had brought Xue Dagui and two other people out to sell popsicles further away. According to Sifu, each of them was carrying two small wooden boxes. However, the morning had passed and they should be back soon.

Jiang Yue looked at the sea of people around her. She was only a child, but almost all of the people who came to eat ice were taller than her. There were so many people that they were like huge walls blocking her vision, so she could not see far.

Then, she looked at the ice-eating man who was eating happily under the sunshade before she turned her head back and asked Xue Yan, “Are you hungry?”

He didn’t have much of an appetite in the morning, so he only ate a little.

Xue Yan didn’t seem to expect her to ask this question. He was slightly stunned at first, but then he answered honestly, “Y-yes, but only a little.”

“Then I’ll go get you a bowl of rice noodles.” As she said that, she got down from the square stool. The person in charge of preparing the rice noodles and liangpi at the stall was so busy, so she didn’t want to ask for their help. It just so happened that she was free.

“I’ll go by myself.” Xue Yan stood up. He almost tripped when he got up.

“You should just sit down. Who knows, someone might come to buy ice and ask you to write a document.” Jiang Yue left without looking back.

The wooden table used to prepare the rice noodles was higher than hers, so she moved a small stool to the side and stepped on it. Using the chopsticks specially used for rice noodles, she picked a bowl of rice noodles from the cooked and cooled rice noodles section. Then, she added side dishes, seasonings, and prepared it all well. After that, she poured it onto a plate and took a pair of clean chopsticks from the bamboo tube at the side. Only then did she come down from the small stool with a plate of rice noodles that was neither too much nor too little.

“Here.” Jiang Yue passed the mixed rice noodles and chopsticks to Xue Yan.
