"Master Yan'er, please make a decision."
Mu Yan was also very happy, thinking that shopkeeper Li would say 50-50.
"Okay." Mu Yan said nothing and asked Shopkeeper Li to go out.
Mu Yan took out strawberries, milk, and saltpeter from the space.
"Yan'er, let me help you."
"Okay, then help me wash the strawberries first." Mu Yan ordered Fan Jing.
Mu Yan cut Fan Jing's washed strawberries into small pieces, poured in milk, added sugar, and stirred.
Men and women are matched, so work is not tiring.
After a while, the raw materials were almost processed.
At this time, the door rang, and Chef Wang came over with several cleaned iron boxes.
Mu Yan took it and didn't let Chef Wang in. He said through the crack in the door: "Tell the shopkeeper to come get the popsicles in a quarter of an hour."
Mu Yan closed the door and started busy with Fan Jing.
"Yan'er, is this the stone used to make ice?"
"Yes, this is saltpeter."
After saying that, Mu Yan put the saltpeter into the wooden barrel. The water became cold in a short time and gradually turned into ice.
Fan Jing once again saw the magic of Mu Yan.
Mu Yan asked: "Ah Jing, let me cut the chopsticks into two pieces."
Fan Jing immediately followed Mu Yan's request. Mu Yan took the two halves of the chopsticks, put them into the iron box and poured the mixed milk juice into the iron box.
"We're done, let's just wait quietly." After saying that, Mu Yan sat down and ate the food served by the shopkeeper on the table.
"A Jing, stop looking, we will make popsicles in a moment." Mu Yan watched Fan Jing stare at the popsicles with curiosity. It looks like a child after completing an experiment and waiting for the results.
"Yan'er, I'll be watching for a while."
Just like that, the popsicle was formed, and Fan Jing's eyes retracted.
"Yan'er, I think the price of the popsicles is a bit low." Fan Jing said solemnly.
Mu Yan chuckled, "Ajing, let's try something new. Popsicles are best sold in the summer."
Fan Jingze shook his head, "Yan'er, let's open a beverage shop."
When Mu Yan heard this, he realized that since Fan Jing was not afraid, he had nothing to fear, so he immediately agreed.
Shopkeeper Li knocked on the door.
Mu Yan was about to open the door when Fan Jing said, "Since we are going to open a store, it is a business secret, so it is best not to disclose it."
Mu Yan also nodded. This is an industry with low costs and high profits. He put the newly made popsicles on a tray, opened the door, and handed them to Shopkeeper Li.
"Shopkeeper Li, sell these first. Come back to get them in a quarter of an hour."
Shopkeeper Li nodded and left in a hurry.
Mu Yan returned to the house and Fan Jing had already started making new popsicles.
At this time, Hongfu Tower was overcrowded.
"Man, I ordered 4 taels of silver for this table, please bring me two popsicles!"
"Man, I'll buy a popsicle!"
…
Everyone is clamoring to buy popsicles. Ice, these people usually can't buy it. With such cheap popsicles, everyone is rushing to shout.
Shopkeeper Li felt happy when he saw it.
He immediately said: "Everyone, please be quiet. First come, first served. Take your time. My master is still working on it at the back. Make sure everyone has a share."
Everyone immediately calmed down and waited patiently for the guy to bring the popsicles.
People who eat popsicles can't help but make noises,
"It's refreshing! There is fruit in this popsicle, and the fruit is delicious."
"I feel so good after eating. My stomach feels chilly. I still want to have another."
"Man, I want another one."
The clerk in the store was also very smart and said immediately: "Sir, this discount is once per person per day. If you want to buy it again, you can only spend 10 taels of silver."
Some guests were generous and immediately bought a 10-tael popsicle, while others stopped.
At this time, the kitchen was also busy.
"Chef Wang, business is booming today. When are you going to get off work? My arms are already sore." A vegetable chopping boy said.
Others echoed.
Chef Wang said, "Hold on, the guests should be leaving soon."
Chef Wang was completely wrong. At this time, the entrance of Hongfu Building was full of people, either ready to come in for a meal or to buy popsicles.
There are also some wealthy local businessmen among them.
Shopkeeper Li saw that there was no time to rest at all. Taking advantage of the break to get popsicles, he explained the situation to Mu Yan.
"Shopkeeper Li, tell them that the event will last for three days. If they want to buy, they can come over tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Li came to the lobby helplessly and said: "Everyone, the meal has passed. Friends who have not ordered please go back. My master also said that this event will last for three days. If you want to buy popsicles, come back tomorrow. Bar."
"Tomorrow, I have to come early to line up."
"Why is this? I've been waiting in line for a long time."
"Shopkeeper, are you available tonight?"
"Only available at noon."
…
The business ended at noon, and shopkeeper Li was forced to close the door.
At this time, Mu Yan packed up the ice cubes in the room, held the popsicles, and walked out slowly with Fan Jing.
"Master Yan'er," Shopkeeper Li immediately stood up to greet him.
Mu Yan looked at Shopkeeper Li's tired but happy look and said, "Shopkeeper, you'd better sit down. I left some popsicles for everyone. Let's share them."
At this time, both the workers working in the kitchen and those working in the backyard gathered in the lobby, taking the popsicles that Mu Yan gave to themselves and thanking them immediately.
These are popsicles sold for 10 taels of silver each. Master Mu Yan is so generous.
Everyone was eating popsicles and working with tears of gratitude.
Mu Yan looked through the consumption records at noon.
Oh my god, there are actually as many as 500 taels, and the vegetables bought in the store have also increased a lot.
Shopkeeper Li quickly gave Mu Yan the money he earned from selling popsicles at noon.
Mu Yan took it and took out another 50 taels of silver. "Everyone is tired today. Let's reward everyone with these 50 taels."
When everyone heard this, they realized that a reward of 50 taels, on average, would be more than 1 tael per person.
"Thank you, Master Yan'er." Everyone said to Mu Yan and worked harder.
Mu Yan waved her hands and went home with Fan Jing.
…
the next day.
Mu Yan and Fan Jing were also shocked. It was so crowded.
Mu Yan and Fan Jing's carriages were also hindered. The two got off the carriage and walked around the crowd to the back door of Hongfu Building.
"Master Yan'er, Master Fan Jing, you are finally here. People have been queuing up here since this morning. They even alerted the government. The mayor is inside." Shopkeeper Li said.
Mu Yan looked at Fan Jing.
"fine."
Shopkeeper Li led Mu Yan and Fan Jing to the third floor.
When Mu Yan walked in, he saw a man stroking his beard sitting there.
"Are you the owner of this restaurant?" the man pointed at Mu Yan and said.
"My lord, the mayor is half a master. The other master has returned to the capital." Mu Yan said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Where does your ice come from? I remember that this restaurant is not eligible to buy ice." The mayor stared at Mu Yan closely.
Mu Yan suppressed her heartbeat, "I made the ice myself. If you know how to make ice, I won't send it far. But if the mayor is interested in popsicles, I can give you a few popsicles."
