A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 256 [256] Zhuo Jian sells ice cream (2000)

Zhuo Jian had never peddled along the street before, so she opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound, Zhuo Lin cleared her throat when she saw this.

"Ahem, listen up, learn from my sister. Come on, shout loudly, no one knows you anyway, look at the salesmen walking around the streets, if you don't shout, who knows you are here, even selling popsicles Same, be bold, don't be afraid, let go of your voice and say, one, two, three, take a deep breath!"

"Sell~~~ popsicles, there are three cents and five cents, you can choose what you want to eat, there are milk, mung beans and glutinous rice, and there are crispy popsicles that quench your thirst and relieve heat! Brother, look at this big head. Sweating, are you tired, do you want to eat a popsicle to quench your thirst? Look, it just came in from the ice cream factory, it’s fresh!"

The sun above the head is hot and hot, and the temperature of the earth is like walking in a pot, which can scald people at any time.

The young man was wearing a shirt and carrying a briefcase, and hurried across the road, but was stopped by Zhuo Lin abruptly. He turned his head and saw his pretty face tanned by the sun, and looked at him enthusiastically with a smile, Looking behind her according to her gestures, there is a box tightly wrapped in quilts on the tricycle, and you can tell what is in it at a glance.

He smashed his dry lips, looked at the sun above his head, and heard cicadas screaming endlessly, and suddenly felt irritable and anxious.

He responded decisively to Zhuo Lin: "Okay, bring me a five-cent milk sorbet."

Zhuo Lin shouted to Zhuo Jian who was behind her in surprise: "Idiot, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and get one for elder brother?"

The price of sorbet is transparent, it is the same everywhere, go to the sorbet factory for wholesale, no matter the size, the batch starts at [-] pieces, because it is sold for a few months throughout the year, so whether it is a self-employed person or an individual, all comers are welcome , anyway, the price is the same, if you sell it too expensive, people don't want it!
When Zhuo Jian went to look for it, the young man had already stuffed a five-cent coin into her hand, and Zhuo Lin smiled gratefully at him.

Zhuo Jian also handed over the sorbet in a hurry. Because the cooling was done well, the sorbet was frozen quite firmly. There was still a layer of hoarfrost on the paper of the sorbet. When you tore it lightly, the paper fell off with the frost on it. When he got down, the man stuffed the ice cream into his mouth, and immediately let out a contented grunt. Then, while eating, he looked around the road and hurried past.

Zhuo Jian witnessed the way his sister solicited, and he understood immediately. Although the voice was still not loud, but because of the heat, someone came to buy it.

When Zhuo Lin came, she brought two umbrellas, one to cover the foam box, and the other to cover herself. Although the umbrellas of this era do not block ultraviolet rays or sun protection, it is an umbrella anyway. If you stand under the shade of a tree, it will be much more Little can start to work.

The brothers and sisters look for places with a lot of people, especially places with water in the park. The more children there are, the louder they are.

Once he was born and the second time he was acquainted, with the insight of experience, he became excited all at once, and sold out fifty popsicles in a short while riding a tricycle.

Thinking that he only earned fifty cents after tossing for hours, he was a little dissatisfied. He looked up at the sky, and it was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

In this big summer, it doesn’t get dark until seven or eight o’clock, and more people come out at night. Given the sweltering heat, there should be no worries about selling at night.

He thought for a while: "Sister, it's too sunburned, don't tan you, I'll send you home, and then I'll go wholesale and sell it myself, do you think it's okay? I think it's the cheapest popsicle It’s selling fast, I won’t be buying expensive ones for a while, so I only sell popsicles that cost two cents each.”

Zhuo Lin thought for a while, "You can also add a little ice water, that is, ice water frozen into icicles, three bags for five cents, if you sell two bags, you can make some money, and there are icicles on the bottom, sorbet on top, or A box of ice cubes and a box of popsicles are easy to sell, I still have five yuan here, you can use it as the principal!"

In fact, soda can also be used, but it is not as good as ice lumps, because soda still involves the problem of bottles, and it will not be too late to buy after he has experience in selling.

"Don't be greedy, you're better than sending me off. I'll just go back by myself. You hurry up and be careful on the way."

For his own little coffers, Zhuo Jian took a few sips of water from the military kettle in spite of the heat, then bent over and rode away.

Zhuo Lin looked up at the sky and sighed, "This damn weather is so hot!"

However, in the era without air-conditioning, the weather was hot, but it was not stuffy. Standing under a tree, I felt much cooler, and the place with a cool shade felt even deeper.

Unlike later generations, in the summer, it is hot wherever you stand, because the city is full of air conditioners, and even the curbs can burn off a layer of skin, and the asphalt road is soft to walk on, unlike this Sometimes, the temperature outside is the same temperature at home.

The younger brother worked so hard to make money, how could she have the nerve to go to the department store for consumption?
He didn't even want to take the bus, and planned to wander slowly to the library to have a look, but as soon as he got out of Beihai Park, he heard someone shouting behind him.

"Come on, come on, catch the thief, catch the thief, help me catch him, he stole my bag!"

Zhuo Lin looked back and saw a 1.7-meter-tall lean man with a lady's leather bag in his hand, sweating profusely from running. Zhuo Lin hurried from the sidewalk to the side of the road. Time, entangled the man's leg, pulled it back hard, and the man lay there.

The woman had run out of energy for a long time. Zhuo Lin used the vines to control the man who got up and was about to run. When he got up, he dragged him back, and got down and got up a few times, just like performing juggling. At first, everyone thought it was new. Later, seeing the man's face getting paler, he gathered around and asked.

"What are you doing? Is there something uncomfortable? Standing up and lying down like this, exercising?"

The thief wanted to cry but had no tears, so he said bitterly with a pale face.

"Damn exercise, I don't know what's going on, anyway, I just can't control myself, here, here's your bag, I don't want it, can't I?"

Seeing that the thief had returned the bag, Zhuo Lin put away the vines. After recovering his legs and feet, he rushed out for several steps and almost fell, but realized that he seemed to be free, so he wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the woman grabbed him. Him, don't let him go.

"No, you can't go. I have ten yuan in this bag. Why is it gone? Did you take it? Return it to me!"

The thief turned his head in disbelief: "Ten yuan? It's true that I robbed your bag, but I didn't even open the zipper. How could I take your money first? You shouldn't be wronged!"

Zhuo Lin, who was planning to leave, suddenly heard these two lines of dialogue, and felt that this matter was relatively rare, so she stayed to watch and became annoyed.

In the end, the old saying goes, the mother-in-law is justified, the public is justified, one insists on losing the money, the other only admits to taking the bag, never admits to stealing the money, and even tells everyone clearly that he is not at all. Didn't have time to look at what was in the bag.
