Chapter 7 Popular Ice Cream

"There is someone, who?" Shen Yunyao sighed, unable to move, it was really troublesome.

As soon as she finished speaking, a little girl wearing a pink coarse cloth dress rushed in.

"Who are you?

Such a person suddenly came in. Shen Yunyao couldn't get the information about this person out of her mind for a while.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you get up when you saw me? Why are you still lying on the bed? My brother doesn't like lazy pigs. Don't you have ice cream at home?"

The girl sat down unceremoniously on the stool next to the bed, with an impatient look on her face.

She went to see Dr. Zhang to treat her mother. She saw Shen Yunyao's younger brother and sister eating ice cream at Zhang's house and said it was made at home, so she came over to ask for ice cream.

"Hurry up and give me some ice cream to try. My brother is suffering from heat stroke today. Why don't you come and give me some ice cream? Even if you are reluctant to give it, tell me how to make it and I will make it myself when I go home."

Oh, this tone is so natural.

Shen Yunyao's face suddenly darkened. After hearing the girl's crackling words, she also remembered who this was.

This girl is Li Lan, the sister of Li Xiucai, the object of her previous nymphomaniac.

Li Jing is a migrant who moved here three years ago. His family only has his widowed mother Zhang and a five-year-old sister.

Last year, at the age of fourteen, he passed the examination as a scholar. He is handsome, fair, and thin, and is very popular among the little girls in the village.

There were many people who secretly tried to please Li Lan because of Li Jing, but she was the only one who was as humble as Shen Yunyao before.

This world is similar to the ancient world in many aspects, including the imperial examination system.

The patriarch once said in public that five hundred years ago, the world underwent a sudden change and the spiritual energy was exhausted. Not long after, a group of strange people appeared in Qianguo, Kunguo, Dingguo, and Xingguo.

Since then, the original systems of some countries have changed. Immortal cultivating families have declined and retreated from the world, and their influence on the secular court has weakened.

The four major families, Xuanyuan, Ji, Zhou, and Mu, who control the Four Kingdoms respectively, were also once a family of immortal cultivators. Each family attaches great importance to strange people.

In order to control the entire country and suppress the small aristocratic families, the Mu family of Xingguo appointed people from poor families and adopted what strange people call the imperial examination system.

Nowadays, the trend of studying for imperial examinations is prevalent. Scholars have become the envy of everyone.

It is difficult to pass the scholar examination. Li Jing was one of the five people in the county who passed the examination, which shows his intelligence.

Zhang and Li Lan relied on Li Jing's power to look down on the villagers and felt that the scholars in their families were superior to others.

In the past, Shen Yunyao blindly worshiped and fell in love with Li Jing, so she always tried to please Li Lan. She would eagerly offer any good things to Li Jing and pass them on to Li Jing.

It's a pity that Li Jing looked down on Shen Yunyao and rejected her things the first time. Later, Li Lan never handed over the things and enjoyed them all for himself.

This kind of taking advantage happened more and more, and Li Lan gradually regarded Shen Yunyao as his maid, and it became natural to take her things.

"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and get it for me! A fool's brain just doesn't work. It takes a lot of saliva to understand." Li Lan glanced at Shen Yunyao with disdain and kept scolding him.

Shen Yunyao said with an expression on her face: "I won't give it to you even if I have it. I won't even tell you how to do it."

Li Lan was furious. It felt bad that the puppet was out of control. He actually dared to disobey and stepped forward to slap Shen Yunyao with a wave of his hand.

It was impossible to sit still and wait for death. Shen Yunyao was faster, waved his hand, grabbed Li Lan's wrist and pushed it.

This force only made Li Lan take two steps back.

Shen Yunyao had never resisted before. This time it angered Li Lan even more.

Li Lan shouted angrily, "You bitch, how dare you push me!"

Shen Yunyao rolled her eyes, "I don't have a princess life, I have a princess disease. I still want to follow the example of a wealthy family. I am a good citizen. I can sue the government based on what you just said. It is a serious crime to force a good person to be a slave. "

"You are scaring me. My brother is a scholar, and you dare to sue me? Believe it or not, I will tell my brother and make him hate you. When he becomes a high official, he will punish you." Li Lan couldn't help but stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hit you.

Shen Yunyao grabbed the pillow behind her back and counterattacked, not letting her succeed. She sneered contemptuously, "Your brother is now a scholar and not an official. Also, it is also a crime to snatch someone's secret recipe. If there is a criminal sister, look Whether it will affect his reputation as a scholar or whether he can become an official remains to be seen."

He actually resisted and couldn't bear it!

But after hearing Shen Yunyao's words, Li Lan stopped and couldn't help but take a step back, hesitating a little. She didn't want to influence her brother, and she also wanted her brother to become an official lady.

There was nothing he could do to get anything back this time, so Li Lan hurried away and said harsh words before going out, "Huh, I'll spare you this time. I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth apart."

After sending this annoying person away, Shen Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief. It was too wasteful to talk to such a troublesome person.

"Is Ayao at home?" Another person came in the yard.

"Here you are."

It turned out to be Ms. Fang, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhang. Shen Yunyao politely asked her to sit down.

Doctor Zhang's home is close to here, and his younger brothers and sisters like to play with his younger son of the same age. The two families visit frequently.

Mrs. Fang first cared about Shen Yunyao's injury, and then said: "Do you still have ice cream at home? Your younger brothers and sisters were playing at my house and said you made some. Do you want to sell them? I want to buy three."

When the business came, Shen Yunyao suddenly became energetic.

"Selling it for three cents each. The ice cream made with ingredients is different from the sugar popsicles."

Salmon is really expensive, equivalent to the price of a meat bun.

Fang was not short of money, so she paid for it directly. Shen Yunyao asked her to get it from the big box in the corner.

Yesterday, Liu specially emptied a large suitcase, stuffed it with quilts, and installed a saltpeter ice basin on the lower floor to make a simple refrigerator.

"The ice cream your family makes is really delicious. It's better than the ones in the village. Can you make it tomorrow? I'll buy it. Do you want it to be passed around the village?" Mrs. Fang couldn't wait to take a bite.

"Let's do it. Auntie will be here at noon."

Shen Yunyao thought to herself, retailing is not as good as wholesale. Wholesale ice cream to the villagers. Isn’t it delicious while lying at home and losing money? It also saves the villagers from thinking about imitation.

"You can also spread the word. Auntie, please help me and tell me that there are people in the village who want to buy a large amount of my ice cream to sell and come to my house to make a reservation. I will treat my aunt to some ice cream tomorrow."

Mrs. Fang happily agreed and went out.

At noon, Mrs. Liu came back with her eldest son. Both of them were covered in sweat and couldn't wait to come to Shen Yunyao's house.

Ms. Liu put down her backpack, placed it next to the refrigerator, and said loudly and excitedly: "Ayao, this ice cream is so popular. I'll make more today."

"Mom, since it's easy to sell, let's do wholesale. Our family sells large quantities to the villagers, so we don't have to go out and get hurt, and our ice cream doesn't take away the villagers' jobs and makes people jealous."

Liu's enthusiasm suddenly cooled down, and she spoke after a while, "You're right. Just do as you say. I happen to be at home and can take care of you. However, this ice cream is not difficult to make, and others can do it. Make it at home.”

"Are they willing to use porridge to make ice cream? How many tricks do we have? If anyone has a cow that produces milk, ask my mother. I can get some fresh milk to make ice cream that will be more delicious."

"That's right. No one can compare to our ice cream. The milk smells fishy, ​​are you sure you want it? The patriarch's cow just gave birth to a calf last month. It probably has milk. I'll ask after dinner."

"Yes, let's wait for the milk-flavored ice cream."

The family had just finished eating at noon, when people came one after another to ask about wholesale ice cream. Liu took time to cook porridge, and then went to the patriarch's house to buy milk.

A total of one hundred ice creams were ordered this afternoon, with a wholesale price of two cents. It's not that Shen Yunyao doesn't want to make more, the materials and equipment can only make so much now.

If they sell three pennies, the villagers will earn one pennie. This is the same as the villagers earning one pennie from selling their own sugar popsicles, and it saves effort. Many people want to wholesale but can't order.

Shen Yunyao asked Liu to boil the milk, cool it and then add it to the porridge for making ice cream. Milk was added to this batch of ice cream in the afternoon.

The weather was hot in the summer, and Shen Yunyao was still sweating while lying on the bed at night, fanning her cattail leaf fan, and resisted the urge to take a cold shower.

Although Mrs. Liu helped her wipe her body these past few days, it was still not as enjoyable as taking a bath by herself.

In the middle of the night, Shen Yunyao was tossing and turning in bed unable to fall asleep. She couldn't bear the heat, so she got up and opened the door.
