At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Since the ice shop had a regular delivery of ice, the unused saltpeter was no longer needed. Fubao put it into the space and began to think of new ways to eat it.

On the second day, Xue Qingquan launched a new dessert - fruit shaved ice.

There is a large orchard in the space, full of various fruits. The winter melons planted on the land outside Yuzhou City are also ripe.

Fubao stood at the door. Waves of customers kept pouring in and soon the seats were filled.

Under the shed at the door, many customers were sweating and muttering, "This store is too small. How long do we have to wait?"

Those who suffer from drought will die from drought, and those who suffer from waterlogging will die from waterlogging.

The noodle shop next door has a very bad business, with only four or five people going in a day at most. The noodle shop is owned by a couple, and the shop was passed down from his father's generation, but the craftsmanship was not inherited. Their shop is very large, but they only sell beef noodles, and most of the time there are not many people going there.

However, the couple were very enthusiastic and often came to help them.

That day, Fu Bao saw the sign at the door saying "Sublease" and finally couldn't help himself. He walked into the shop next door and asked, "Uncle, Aunt, are you going to rent out this shop?"

The two were very conflicted, and finally the boss said hesitantly: "I do want to rent it out, but no one is willing to give a suitable price."

Fubao: "My uncle is here recently and wants to rent a shop. If you want to rent it, you can talk to my uncle about the price."

The boss's face lit up, and Fubao continued, "The rent for our current dessert shop is twenty-five taels."

The two of them looked depressed and hesitated, "This price..."

Fu Bao: "I haven't finished yet. That shop didn't have tables, chairs or benches, and the stairs were in disrepair. We repaired them ourselves later. Your shop has everything, so I think the prices should be higher."

The proprietress immediately said, "Since Yishu said so, let's go and ask. Maybe it can be rented out, and we can feel at ease if we rent it to them."

Fubao said happily: "I will go and call uncle over now."

Li Darong followed Fu Bao's steps and hurried over. Looking at the two people who were looking forward to it, he said, "What is the price you two have in mind?"

The noodle shop owner thought for a long time and said hesitantly, "35 taels, is that okay?"

This price was very suitable and fair for this street. It also met Li Darong's psychological expectations, so he agreed immediately.

The man didn't expect things to go so smoothly. In just a cup of tea, the rent was in his hands.

That day, the noodle shop changed its name to Xueqingquan, selling shaved ice and sugar water. It also hired two skilled women to help.

Once the seven or eight kinds of fruit shaved ice were launched, the store was packed almost every day. Especially for the fruit shaved ice with lychee and winter melon flavors, many dignitaries had their servants line up early to buy them.

The small basket that Li Huaiqing used to weave every day is now in use. Both the sugar water and shaved ice can be taken away, and the exquisite small basket is just enough to hold a bowl of sugar water. However, it costs 50 cents per time, and if you return the basket and bowl together, you will get 20 cents back.

During these four months, Xueqingquan has truly become famous in Yuzhou.

A few villagers were hired to help look after the melon field, and Liu Er went there once every two days. Chongwang had already returned to the shop to help.

In the evening, the family sat at the dinner table. Zhou Qiaoping took out the money box and said, "Guess how much money we have now?"

The family looked at each other and shook their heads. Even Li Darong, who usually handled the accounts, was a little uncertain.

Zhou Qiaoping opened the money box and said in a low voice, "One thousand five hundred taels!"

The family members gasped. They had never seen so much money in their lives.

Zhang Ercui asked tremblingly: "This money - this money... is all earned by us?"

Zhou Qiaoping: "Otherwise it could have been blown in by a strong wind."

Zhang Ercui twisted her thigh hard and cried out, "This silver - it really looks like it was blown in by the wind."

The family laughed.

Fubao knew that she actually earned more than that, and about five hundred taels were thrown into the space by her.

The space now has changed dramatically since I first came here. The grasslands, vegetable gardens, orchards, cotton fields, beet fields, medicinal fields... can support the lives of half of the city's people.

Fubao's growth rate is becoming more and more obvious, and she is already taller than Yisheng. But even so, Yisheng and Yiqiu still call her little sister every day.

As I grow older, I seem to be more reliable when doing business in the eyes of outsiders.

Fu Bao looked at the more than 1,000 taels of silver and said, "We have to buy our own house."

Li Huaiqing nodded and said, "After all, this rented house is not as comfortable as living at home. I still have to have my own place to live."

Li Shuangrong said: "I will go out tomorrow to see if there are any houses for sale nearby."

Zhang Ercui was reluctant to leave and asked, "Where else can I buy a house as nice as this one?"

Fubao: "We will continue to rent the house here. My elder brother and younger brother still need to attend Mr. Han's lectures. It's not convenient to live far away."

Buying a house is just for an extra layer of insurance, so that even if I stop renting it out one day, I will still have a place to stay in Yuzhou.

Only after hearing her say this did Zhang Ercui relax her brows.

Fubao: "Also, I want to open another dessert shop."

Li Darong wiped his mouth and said, "I think it's feasible. Many people like our desserts now. If we open another one, the business will definitely be good."

Fubao: "I want to open a shop in the south of the city this time."

The row of houses in the innermost part of the south city are either occupied by high-ranking officials or wealthy people, so they definitely have no worries about business. The stores there don't have to be too big, as long as they are exquisite and elegant.

Li Huaiqing: "It will take an hour to go home after opening a shop so far away."

Fubao: "Find a house near the shop, or live directly in the shop."

Li Huaiqing: "Then how long will it take for Grandpa to see you? Think about it again, think about it again."

Fubao: "Grandpa, I have grown up like this now. If I don't leave now, I will be discovered by acquaintances."

Li Huaiqing was silent for a while, and finally compromised: "Then go."

The rest of the family was used to it, and Qingyang had repeatedly said that her fast growth would not have any effect on her health. But people outside would definitely think she was an outlier. So it was necessary to avoid these people.

Early the next morning, Fubao went out with Li Shuangrong and headed straight to the south of the city.

You wouldn’t know unless you asked, but the rent of this shop in the south of the city is shockingly high.

It was a medium-sized store with eight private rooms on the upper and lower floors and a lobby that could accommodate ten tables. The rent was as high as eighty taels.

Fu Bao was in and out of the shop in a dilemma. Since the shop was still under the name of Xue Qingquan, it couldn't raise the prices without any reason. At most, the private rooms would be more expensive.

But the decoration here is indeed elegant, which makes Fubao feel itchy.
