Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

The three of them hurriedly found a line of people selling snacks. It was still early, so they found a good spot.

After putting the things down and arranging them, the two were not in a hurry to sell them. It was still early, the sun had just come out, and the wind blowing in their faces was still cold. It was so cold that no one would think of having a bowl of icy ice jelly.

After a while, when it is noon and the sun is shining brightly, it is time to sell. The big market in Yongding County is not like the one in the town which is open only in the morning. This market is open all day, so there is no need to worry about no one being around at noon.

The experience of selling eggs last time taught them that if they wanted to sell well, they had to shout. So the two of them were determined to come up with a wonderful shout to attract customers and sell out all the ice jelly.

Seeing the two squatting there in no hurry to sell things, Erhe was so anxious that he scratched his head. He spent twelve cents this morning, why didn't this mother and Aunt Duan rush to sell things, but just chatted there? Seeing how they laughed, Erhe was anxious but didn't dare to urge them.

How could he know that Zheng Yuan and the others were thinking of a loud and memorable slogan for the ice jelly. It was really hard to think of a slogan for the ice jelly, so the two of them racked their brains to think of the short videos they had watched before.

“Bingbing fennel~ Bingbing fennel~ Bingbing fennel for five yuan a bowl~” Duan Minmin sang.

"No, it doesn't sound smooth enough."

"Then you speak." After her proposal was rejected, Duan Minmin pouted and let Zheng Yuan speak.

Zheng Yuan was frantically recalling the memories of the rhymes and shouts he had heard before. He was so angry that he finally realized what he was talking about. After a long pause, he said, "Our ice jelly is different!"

“Hahahaha…” This brought Duan Minmin’s merciless ridicule: “It’s different, this sentence is good but is that all? It’s not as good as mine. Hahahaha…”

"Then add a few more words!"

"Going from street to street, is our ice jelly different?" After a long pause, he said another sentence.

"Walking through the streets and alleys, our ice jelly is different?"

"Okay, okay, keep this one."

......

Finally, the two decided on the slogan: "Walk through the streets and alleys, our ice jelly is different; take a look and taste it, the sister ice jelly is famous; the sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke, come here to eat ice jelly; the water is flowing and the fish are swimming, the cool ice jelly can relieve your worries!"

After going through it once, it felt perfect.

After thinking about it, it was still early, so Zheng Yuan took out a few copper coins and handed them to Erhe: "Erhe, go buy three meat buns and three vegetable buns."

The store hasn't even opened yet and they have to spend money. Erhe is even more anxious: "Mom, I'm not hungry! Let's sell ice jelly quickly."

Seeing his anxious look, the two knew what he was worried about. Duan Minmin stood up and patted his shoulder: "Erhe, it's not hot yet, we can't sell the ice jelly at all. Don't worry, your mother and I will definitely sell the ice jelly. Go buy some buns quickly, we will have the energy to sell things only after we are full."

Zheng Yuan also nodded at him. Seeing that they were both calm, Erhe took the money reluctantly and went to buy buns.

After a while, Erhe came back with steaming buns. They each took two and started to eat them. It must be said that the buns in ancient times were quite delicious.

Erhe handed the remaining money to Zheng Yuan. Zheng Yuan was afraid that the buns in the big city would be more expensive so he gave him a few more coins, but he didn't expect that the price was the same as in the town.

Erhe was still worried while eating his buns. Seeing him like that, Zheng Yuan was afraid that he had indigestion. He handed him the empty bucket and asked him to fetch a bucket of water after he finished eating, so that he wouldn't be more anxious because he had nothing to do.

After eating the buns, the two were still not ready to sell them, and sat there curiously looking at the vendors around them. This was a close-up experience of an ancient county market, which was different from those time-travel TV dramas. Both of them found it interesting and whispered to each other from time to time.

The vendors selling things next to them looked at them curiously. Did they pay to come to the county town for entertainment?

Just when Erhe was about to become unable to bear the stares from all around, the two of them stood up. The sun had risen to the sky and the temperature was about right, so they could start selling.

"Come, come, ice jelly, ice jelly! Walk through the streets and alleys, our ice jelly is different; take a look and taste it, the sister ice jelly is famous; the sun shines on the incense burner and purple smoke comes, if you want to eat ice jelly, come here; the water is flowing and the fish are swimming, the cool ice jelly can relieve your worries!"

......

After the first experience, the two of them were not so socially anxious when they shouted, mainly because the temptation of money made them open their mouths.

Two ragged old women were shouting hard here, and if you listened carefully, it sounded quite smooth, and many people were attracted over.

Erhe was shocked when he saw this for the first time. He always knew that his mother and Aunt Duan were very good at swearing in the streets, but he didn't expect they had this ability.

As people gradually gathered around, a well-dressed middle-aged man asked, "What's different about your ice jelly?"

Zheng Yuan hurriedly opened the ice jelly bucket and ice bucket: "Brother, our ice jelly is made with plenty of ice and plenty of brown sugar juice. Drinking it in this weather is really refreshing and thirst-quenching. It's equivalent to drinking four bowls of water."

When they heard that she had ice, they looked inside curiously. When they saw a large piece of ice under the straw, everyone was very surprised. Where did this woman get the ice when she was wearing tattered clothes?

"How much does this bowl cost?" Seeing that there was both ice and brown sugar, someone couldn't help but ask.

"Not expensive, just three cents a bowl!"

"What? Three cents? Others only sell it for one cent, why are you selling it for three cents?" Someone immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

Zheng Yuan was not angry, so he explained: "The one you mentioned costs one cent, it's just a bowl of ice jelly, ours has both sugar and ice in it, so it's a good deal to sell it for three cents."

"Yes, there is ice to eat in this hot weather, but only rich families can have it. For only three cents, we can have both ice jelly and ice, it's a good deal~" Duan Minmin also chimed in.

When everyone heard this, they thought that they could enjoy the ice used by the rich families for only three cents, and that they would also be the ones who could use ice in the summer.

Besides, it's so hot today, and a bowl of water in the tea shed costs a penny. It's better to spend three pennies to buy some ice jelly and try it.

"Then give me a bowl." A young man who had been watching for a long time handed over three cents.

Zheng Yuan took the money and handed it to Duan Minmin. He scooped ice powder into the bowl with a spoon and quickly divided the work: "Amin, you collect the money, Erhe prepares to wash the dishes."

The business opened so soon that Erhe was still a little confused. When Zheng Yuan called him, he hurriedly stood beside the bucket and prepared to wash the dishes.

For the first bowl of ice jelly, Zheng Yuan scooped a sufficient amount, scraped a layer of ice into it with a kitchen knife, and finally poured brown sugar on it and handed it to the young man.

The young man took it and took a sip. His eyes lit up instantly. This icy and sweet ice jelly felt so cool that it went straight to his stomach and even his pores could feel a hint of coolness. He quickly drank it up mouthful after mouthful.

Soon the bowl was finished, the young man licked his lips with satisfaction and handed the bowl back. Erhe took it and started to wash it in the bucket.

Seeing that the young man looked like he wanted another bowl, the onlookers knew that this ice jelly was really a good thing.

Three cents is not a lot, and most people can afford it.

"Sister-in-law, give me a bowl." said the middle-aged man who asked the question first.

"Give me a bowl too."

"I'm coming too! I'm coming too!"

People tend to follow the crowd. With someone taking the lead, those who had the conditions came forward to order a bowl of ice jelly. The people who gathered around attracted people from far away, and their stall became extremely popular.

Duan Minmin collected the money with her eyes wide open, and put it in her purse, fearing that she would miss a single penny. Erhe also washed the dishes quickly, one after another, until his arms were almost rubbed with sparks.
