NOVEL NEXT Chapter 233 Selling Ice
Seeing Li Ling coming, the old housekeeper stepped forward to ask.
"No, I'll walk by myself."
Li Ling looked at the harnessed carriage and asked casually: "Grandpa is going out?"
"The old general went out early and just called someone back to deliver a message.
The restaurant opposite the lady's hot pot restaurant is now selling ice cubes at very cheap prices.
Tell us to hitch a carriage and get some money over there. "
"What are you buying so much ice for?"
"The old general said it will get even hotter if we go back, so take advantage of the low price to buy more ice cubes.
Let the lady have a comfortable summer. "
Hearing what the old housekeeper said, Li Ling felt warm in her heart.
"Grandpa Li, tell them not to go. I'll go and tell grandpa that we don't have to spend that wasted money to buy those ice cubes."
She thought about it and said, "Find someone to buy more saltpeter and we can make ice cubes ourselves."
Thinking that Su Qiumei's hot pot restaurant is selling ice cubes, I guess they must have purchased a large amount of saltpeter in the city:
"The saltpeter in the city is probably gone. Find someone to buy it from a nearby town!"
After Li Ling finished speaking, she thought of the Gu family and the Chu family of the Duke's mansion, so she called the secret guards.
Ask them to notify those companies respectively, so that they don't let them spend the unjust money, and let Su Qiumei and others make money.
It seems that because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, no one comes in or out of the hot pot restaurant opposite.
Shangguan Siyi felt indescribably happy.
Let them deliberately compete with him for business.
This time, let’s see how they compete with him for the business of selling ice cubes?
Looking at the door of his shop, he saw it was crowded with people rushing to buy ice cubes.
Shangguan Siyi finally showed his most sincere smile in a while.
"The ice they sell is really good, and it's much larger than before."
Gu Yunyue ran back from the opposite side.
Shangguan Yu stood at the window on the second floor and looked across. There were many people waiting in line to buy ice cubes.
"It seems that they can make a lot of money by selling it for just one day today."
Chu Mingfan unexpectedly saw people from their Duke's Mansion among the crowd.
Gu Yunyue also saw her servants crowded in the crowd:
“I don’t know where they got so much good ice?
It would be great if we could also sell ice cubes. It would be very profitable on a hot day. "
"You're not still thinking about buying it from them and then selling it at a high price, are you?"
Gu Yunqi rolled his eyes at Gu Yunyue.
“Master, should we buy some too?
If we buy such cheap ice cubes and put them in our store, maybe our hotpot restaurant's business will be booming again right away. "
The shopkeeper of the hot pot restaurant was a little anxious when he saw the lively scene opposite.
I was afraid that if I waited too late, the ice cubes would be snatched away by those people.
When Shangguan Yu was considering the shopkeeper's proposal, the little bird whose fur became redder than before suddenly flew in from outside.
The little bird flew into the house, landed directly on the little wolf's head, and then chirped a few times.
The little wolf immediately responded happily and oohooed.
When everyone saw this little bird, their eyes lit up, and they all stretched their necks to look at the door.
However, after watching for a long time, Li Ling was not seen at the door.
At this time, Little Wolf had already run out of the door after being yelled by Dandan.
"Ming Fan, your servant left and didn't buy any ice.
what!
Our servants from the Gu family also came out. Why don't you buy it? "
Gu Yunyue looked at the door opposite, suddenly confused.
Gu Yuncheng walked to the window and happened to see his carriage parked not far away, waiting to bring the ice back, and the coachman was turning the carriage around.
"Gu Ba, go and ask what's going on?" Gu Yuncheng ordered the secret guard in the dark.
Gu Ba just took the order and left, when Li Ling walked in.
"Girl."
"Sister Ling'er."
"Linger."
"younger sister."
Several voices sounded at the same time, and the voices overlapped at the same time. People who were unfamiliar with them couldn't hear what they were saying.
We haven't seen each other for a few days, why do you feel that Li Ling has changed again?
He seems to have grown a lot taller, isn't it because they are dazzled?
How can a person reach such heights after not seeing each other for just a few days?
Li Ling's eyes became clearer than before, and her whole person looked even more unearthly than before.
"Girl, do you think we should buy some ice cubes and put them in the store? It's hot today, and there are no customers at our hotpot."
Shangguan Yu told Li Ling about the shopkeeper's proposal.
"No, what are you going to spend that wasted money on? If you want ice, we can make it ourselves."
Li Ling sat down.
"Can you make ice cubes yourself? How?"
"Did you use saltpeter?" Gu Yuncheng asked.
"You know?" Li Ling looked at Gu Yuncheng.
"No!" Gu Yuncheng shook his head.
Seeing the confusion in Li Ling's eyes, he explained: "I heard that they..."
He raised his chin to the opposite side: "I bought a lot of saltpeter in the city and even outside the city."
"Yes! It's made of saltpeter." Li Ling nodded.
"What? Can you really make ice with saltpeter?"
Several people stopped looking at the people opposite to buy ice cubes. They gathered around and sat next to Li Ling.
"Sister, how do you make ice cubes from saltpeter?" Gu Yunyue immediately asked what everyone wanted to ask.
"I have already asked people to buy saltpeter. When they come back, I will make it for you. You will know it then. It is very simple."
"I guess there is no saltpeter available in the city."
"It's okay. I'll ask someone to look for it nearby. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the saltpeter mine and buy it."
After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he immediately called the guards to give instructions.
"Great. Seeing them making a lot of money makes me feel uncomfortable. This time we can also sell ice cubes."
Gu Yunyue suddenly looked at the group of people: "How about we join forces this time and sell ice cubes?"
Li Ling thought for a while and shook her head: "It's better not to sell it. Let's make some, just enough for our own house."
"Why? Is it possible that by looking at them like this, I can make a lot of money?"
Shangguan Yu was not happy. He had been poisoned before, but now he only got back a small amount of interest.
"You don't have to be so obvious about confronting them. After all, you haven't gone to the point of breaking out with the lawsuit yet.
Our hot pot restaurant can sell it with ice drinks. "
"Ice...drink? Sister, do you mean cold drink?"
Li Ling nodded: "The ice cubes sold across the street are mainly for cooling. They are usually made of raw water and are not easy to eat directly.
As for our ice cubes, I will use clean water to make them into small pieces that can be eaten directly. "
Li Ling never thought about actually using saltpeter to make ice.
She will definitely buy these ice cubes directly at the system store.
Just like the chickens, ducks, sheep, and vegetables on the farm.
She replaced them all from space.
"Are they going to sell pearl milk tea?" Shangguan Ye asked.
"Pearl milk tea?"
Among the people sitting here, only the brothers from the Gu family have never had milk tea.
