Chapter 26 Changing Strategies
  After all, the people in Yongan Town are poor people. Who has the spare money to buy food that they have never seen before?

What's more, it's still seven cents a bowl of ice cream.

Seeing that the ice cream in the bowl was about to melt, Jiang Wei sighed and said, "Forget it, we won't sell it today."

As he said that, he was about to put the ice cream into the basket, then quietly put it into the space and freeze it again.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown walked across the street, with a boy beside him. He saw them at a glance, "Hey, it's you mother and daughter!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that it was the shopkeeper of Yuelailou!
  The shopkeeper strode over with the boy and nodded slightly to Jiang Wei: "It's been a long time since I saw you selling game. The wild wolves you brought last time were really good. Those game-loving customers liked it very much. You keep yelling about when another one will come every day. Whenever you hunt game again, you must sell it to us at Yuelailou. The price is negotiable!"

"Okay." Jiang Mo nodded.

"What are you two selling?" The shopkeeper said and looked into their bamboo basket.

"It's ice cream!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly took out a bowl from the bamboo basket and tried his best to sell it: "This thing can relieve the heat! Uncle shopkeeper, would you like a bowl?"

"Okay, how much does a bowl cost?"

"Seven cents!"

"Seven cents?!" The shopkeeper paused slightly while taking out the money, and looked at the ice cream in Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand with a little surprise.

Even the boy next to him couldn't help but look at the ice cream in Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand in surprise. He seemed a little puzzled that this small bowl of stuff was sold for seven cents!
  But in the end the shopkeeper still took out seven cents to buy the bowl of ice cream.

After all, it is the source of the game in his restaurant. Even if he feels that it is not worth the price, he will still buy it for the sake of the other party.

"Uncle shopkeeper, use this spoon to scoop out the food." Jiang Xiaoxiao handed over a spoon in time.

"Oh." The shopkeeper took the spoon and stared at the ice cream in the bowl. Not to mention, it smelled quite fragrant, with a strong milky aroma.

He took a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The next second, the rich frankincense and smooth and delicate taste spread between his lips and teeth with a refreshing coolness.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This, this...!"

The shopkeeper was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He quickly swallowed the ice cream in his mouth. The coldness in his heart went straight to the sky. He was so cold that he opened his mouth and took several breaths of hot air: "Wow~ It's so cold!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh: "Uncle shopkeeper, please eat slowly, the ice cream is very cold."

"W-what is this stuff made of? Why is it so delicious!" The shopkeeper couldn't help but take a big spoonful and put it into his mouth.

This thing is not only delicious, but also cool. After taking one bite, all the heat from the walk has dissipated. This is better than the herbal tea sold in the teahouse to relieve the heat!

"This ice cream is made with eggs, sugar and milk." Jiang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"No wonder it's so expensive. The materials alone are not cheap."

The shopkeeper finished the ice cream in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, licked his mouth with unfinished content, and then looked into their bamboo basket: "How much ice cream do you have left?"

"There are still about ten bowls left," Jiang Wei said.

In fact, she still has quite a lot of them in her space, but today is her first time to test the waters, and she doesn’t know if this thing can be sold, so she prepared about ten bowls.

"Seven cents a bowl, right? Sell them all to me." The shopkeeper smiled and took out a bunch of copper plates, his smiling eyes twinkling.

Based on his many years of experience as a shopkeeper, if this ice cream is sold in a restaurant, it will definitely be very popular!
  "That's okay." Jiang Wei refused. Anyway, this thing is sold to everyone. The sooner it is sold out, the sooner the stall can be closed.

She found a larger container and poured all the ten bowls of ice cream into it. Then she put her hand into the bamboo basket and pretended to take a few ice cubes to put them on the outside. She handed them to the shopkeeper together, "This has been frozen. Keep it cool If you eat it, it will taste bad if it melts."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, looking at these ice cubes, he felt surprised again. Ice cubes are a rare thing in this summer.

But it's not uncommon.

It is said that nobles in the capital have the habit of building ice cellars to store ice in winter and use them to escape the heat in summer.

Could it be that this ice cube was also stored in advance in winter?
  Thinking of this, the shopkeeper suddenly felt that these bowls of ice cream were cheap.

Building an ice cellar costs a lot of money!
  The shopkeeper thought for a while and counted a hundred copper coins for Jiang Wei.

"You gave me too much." Jiang Wei directly handed back the extra nine copper coins.

"No more, no more!" the shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hands, "the few ice cubes you gave me are worth a lot of money!"

In business, the key to success is a steady flow of water. He has been able to be a shopkeeper for so many years, and he upholds the principle that people must be honest and honest, and must not be greedy for petty gains.

As he said that, he couldn't help but look into the bamboo basket and asked, "Do you have any extra ice cubes? Can you sell me some?"

"There is no more ice, and I won't sell ice." Jiang Wei shook his head and refused, firmly handing back the nine extra coppers.

The shopkeeper couldn't resist her and had no choice but to accept the copper plate.

Seeing that Jiang was about to leave before putting away the bowl and spoon, he did not dare to delay any longer, fearing that the ice cream would not taste good if it melted, so he hurriedly left with the boy.

However, after buying and selling ice cream, the mother and daughter did not leave Yongan Town directly, but walked towards the carpenter shop across the street.

"Mom, do you want to buy anything else?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly.

"I thought about it. The cost of making ice cream is too high. Selling it for seven cents a bowl is too expensive for people in the town. Not many people buy it. We might as well sell ice cream that costs less."

The methods of making ice cream and ice cream are very different, but the cost is much cheaper.

Ice cream needs to add more cream and egg yolks to maintain the taste, but ice cream does not require these ingredients and usually only requires a small amount of milk, sugar and glutinous rice flour to make.

Moreover, the ice cream can be easily carried and used anytime and anywhere by inserting a wooden stick into it, and there is no need to prepare additional bowls and spoons when selling it to customers.

When he arrived at the carpenter's shop, Jiang Wei directly explained his purpose: "Boss, I want to order some molds."

……

After setting a time to pick up the mold, the mother and daughter left the carpenter's shop.

"Let's buy some chickens and go back." Jiang Wei thought for a while and said.

Now that we have a vegetable field at home, we just need to raise a few chickens.

So the mother and daughter turned to another street to buy chickens.

The street selling livestock is much more lively than the food street just now.

Along the way, Jiang Xiaoxiao discovered that there were not only chicken sellers, but also duck sellers, pig sellers, and mule sellers...

There are even people selling cattle!
  When Jiang Xiaoxiao passed by, he heard that a cow costs at least twenty-five thousand dollars!

Gee, it’s so expensive!

Twenty-five guan is equivalent to twenty-five taels of silver. How much spare money does this family have to have before they are willing to buy it?
