In less than an hour, all the ice jelly they brought was sold out.

After handing out the last bowl of ice jelly, Zheng Yuan apologized to the people around him, "I'm sorry, everyone, we've sold out our Sisters Ice Jelly today."

The person who bought the last bowl held the ice jelly with a smug look on his face, as if he was very proud to have grabbed this last bowl.

After washing the last bowl, Erhe came to his senses and sat down on the ground. My mother and Aunt Duan were really amazing. In less than an hour, all the ice jelly that cost three cents a bowl was sold out.

The ice and brown sugar juice they brought had just run out. After putting the things in place, Zheng Yuan called the two of them to walk towards a secluded place.

They found an alley with few people and sat in the corner, ready to start counting money. Counting money was their favorite activity no matter when.

Duan Minmin carefully took out her purse and poured it into the empty bucket. Listening to the sound of the coins colliding, the three of them felt it was wonderful.

The two counted twice and finally confirmed that they sold 297 bowls this time, earning a total of 891 coins. After deducting the cost of 109 coins, the net profit was 782 coins. It was profitable! It was profitable! Although it was not a lot, at least it was profitable, and as long as it made money, there was something to look forward to.

Erhe didn't think that he made too little money. Which family in this village could make so much money in a day? Seven hundred and eighty-two coins a day, how much money would that be in a month? In an instant, the eyes looking at the two of them were full of admiration.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin discussed that this business could be done. Judging from the situation today, they could sell twice as much ice jelly. As the weather gets hotter, at least until it cools down, this business can be done.

Since they can do this for a long time, the cost can also be reduced. If they buy more at one time, most stores will appropriately reduce the price. The two discussed and packed up their things, and walked towards a grocery store with Erhe who was laughing foolishly.

When we entered the door, a waiter came up to us enthusiastically and asked, "What would you like to buy, aunties?"

"How much do Physalis seeds, brown sugar, and lime cost in your store?" Zheng Yuan asked straight to the point.

The waiter responded quickly: "The seeds of Physalis are twelve cents per pound, the brown sugar is fifteen cents per pound, and the lime is ten cents per pound! Auntie, how much do you want?"

The seeds of the nightshade were actually one cent cheaper than in town. Zheng Yuan calculated in his mind that the ratio he bought last time was actually about right, except that the amount of lime used was not large, so he could buy less this time.

After counting the money he had, Zheng Yuan planned to buy enough for the next small market in town and the next big market. For the small market, he should be able to prepare about the same amount as this time, and for the big market, he should be able to buy twice as much.

"Brother, we want to buy nine catties of Physalis seeds, twelve catties of brown sugar, and two catties of lime powder."

When the waiter heard that they wanted so much, he looked at them eagerly. But Zheng Yuan's next words made him embarrassed again.

"Brother, we bought so much. You can charge us 10 cents per pound for Physalis seeds, 13 cents per pound for brown sugar, and 9 cents per pound for lime. If the price is right, we will come to buy from you next time."

The clerk scratched his head in embarrassment: "Auntie, I can't make the decision. Wait for me to find the shopkeeper."

As he said this, he walked straight to the counter and called over the shopkeeper who was calculating the bill.

After hearing what they wanted and the price they offered, the shopkeeper was a bit embarrassed. The Physalis seeds usually don't sell in large quantities, and people are buying them at a few cents a piece. This was the first time someone wanted such a large quantity, so he could give a discount. However, brown sugar was a hot commodity, and the quantity of lime they wanted was not large, so he didn't want to give a discount.

"My two sisters-in-law, my small business is not easy. I can give you a penny per pound of the Physalis seeds, but brown sugar and lime are really indispensable." The shopkeeper said with embarrassment.

"Boss, I need such a large quantity. You can see that I am in business and the demand will not be small in the future. If you give me a discount, I will buy from you in the future." Zheng Yuan knew very well that bargaining was a process of push and pull, and he did not expect the shopkeeper to agree immediately.

Feeling that the price reduction was a bit too much, but he was reluctant to give up this business, the shopkeeper hesitated for a long time and finally said, "The price of the physalis seeds and lime will be as you said, but I can only give a discount of one cent for the brown sugar. Do you think it's okay? Sister-in-law, this is already my greatest sincerity."

Zheng Yuan thought about it and felt that he could accept it, so he agreed.

The shopkeeper asked the clerk to pack up the things they wanted and take them out from the storeroom. He quickly moved the abacus and said, "A total of two hundred and seventy-six coins!"

Zheng Yuan took out the purse and counted it, then handed it to Duan Minmin to count it again before handing it to the shopkeeper.

"Little sister-in-law, take it." The shopkeeper took the money and handed the things to them. The two of them took them and placed the things separately in the empty bucket that had been cleaned.

There were still 615 coins left from selling the ice jelly today, so the two decided to buy something to take back.

It was still early. Zhao Youwang had said in the morning that they would gather at the time of Shen, which was around three in the afternoon. Judging from the position of the sun, it should be around one in the afternoon, so they still had time to stroll around slowly.

Originally, they should have bought a pot if they had the money, but they both wanted to replace it with an iron pot at once, and the remaining money was definitely not enough, so they could only wait until they saved enough money to buy it.

Holding the huge sum of more than 600 Wen, the two of them still walked towards the meat stall unconsciously. Their life motto was: life is nothing but eating, drinking and sleeping. They spent all the money they earned when they worked on food, and this was no exception.

"Boss, how much do you sell this pork for?"

"Fat meat is 20 cents, lean meat is 18 cents, how much do you two want?"

The price is the same as in town.

"Give me five pounds of lean meat and two pounds of fat meat." Zheng Yuan said generously. The two of them loved lean meat, so they bought more.

Then he saw the big bone sticks piled up next to him and asked, "Boss, how much are these big bone sticks for?"

The boss cut the meat and looked in the direction of her finger: "This pile is not worth much. Since you bought so much, I'll give it to you for free."

When they heard that it was free, they hurried to thank the boss and happily picked up a bunch of large bones and put them on top of the meat and put them in a bucket together with the meat.

After buying the meat, we still had 485 coins left. We walked around for a while and saw a peach seller nearby. I thought about how I hadn't eaten fruit for a long time. I asked and found out that it was only two coins per pound. Of course, it didn't taste that good, but it was cheap. We bought five pounds in one go. With so many people in the family, we had to buy more.

I saw someone selling candied haws, and thought that since I was in the county town, I should at least bring something for the children, so I bought eight strings of candied haws, which cost one penny a string.

Seeing the two women spending money lavishly, Erhe wanted to go up and rob them of their money, but due to the accumulated power of the two mothers, he could only follow behind and carry the things.

After buying the candied haws, they only had 467 copper coins left from today's sales. The two decided to save some and not spend all they earned, so they just wandered around the street without buying anything.

It was really uncomfortable to just look but not buy. The time to gather was almost up, so the two of them reluctantly walked out of the city.

Erhe was relieved when he saw that the two of them had stopped shopping, although he didn't know how much money he had spent and how much money he had left. But looking at how his mother and Aunt Duan were spending lavishly, he probably spent everything they had sold today, and he was really worried that they didn't have enough money to take the bus home.

After leaving the city gate, they saw that the people who came this morning on the oxcart had already arrived and were waiting for them, so they quickly ran two steps and got on the car. Zhao Youwang saw them coming, greeted them, sat down, and drove the oxcart back.

It seems that the consumption capacity of this county town is indeed good. Zheng Yuan saw that the baskets and backpacks they used to carry things in the morning were empty, and everyone had a smile on their face, so he thought that sales must be good.

They are observing other people's situations, and of course, there are also people observing their situations.
