At this time, the sun had risen, around ten to eleven o'clock.

With the arrival of summer, the heat comes earlier and earlier, so it’s time to start preparing to sell ice jelly.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin took Tao'er to find a stall, while Dashu and Erhe went to fetch water and would come to find them later.

Just as she stood up from the stall and walked a little way, a woman from Lao Huaiqing looked over here and saw them, and they also noticed her. At that moment, the light in her eyes made Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin think she saw the God of Wealth.

When the woman saw them, she hurriedly greeted the other women who were still looking around and pointed at them. A group of people immediately trotted over when they saw them.

"Mother Tao'er, Mother Dashu, why didn't you wait for us? It made it so difficult for us to find it." Liu Cuilan said with a complaining look on her face.

Zheng Yuan rolled his eyes quietly and asked in a puzzled manner: "Wait for you? Why should we wait for you? We didn't agree to leave together. We want to do this ice jelly business, how can we wait for you all the time. Oh~ Do you want to take care of our business too? Three cents a bowl, how many bowls do you want?"

A few words stopped the women from complaining. Yes, they were here to do business, so there was no reason for them to wait for them.

A bowl of ice jelly costs three cents. They are not so rich that they would follow them just to buy this expensive ice jelly.

"How could that be possible? We are from the same village. There are all kinds of people in this market. We are afraid that you will get into danger, so we want to act together. By the way, Dashu Niang, where are you going? Have you sold out the ice jelly?" Liu Cuilan changed her tone and began to flatter. You must be kidding. A bowl of ice jelly costs three cents, and they took so many buckets. How much money would that cost?

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other helplessly. As expected, the topic turned back to the ice jelly. If I don't let them take a look today, I'm afraid it won't end.

"Hey! We haven't started selling yet. Just now, the housekeeper of Mr. Zhang's family sent someone to bring us ice cubes. We just came back from there." Duan Minmin raised the ice bucket in her hand.

The eyes of the people around them lit up instantly. How much would such a big bucket of ice cost? Mr. Zhang's family was really generous! They didn't even notice that they had brought the bucket when they came today.

"Sisters, aunts, how about you give us a break? We have to find a stall to start selling ice jelly, otherwise it will be a big deal if we delay your business."

"Yes, yes, your Excellency's business cannot be delayed, you should find a stall quickly. Don't worry about us, we will follow you." The people surrounding them immediately made way.

The three of them walked forward, and five or six women followed behind them without blinking, fearing that they would lose them again.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They were just fighting a guerrilla war, but now they have become bodyguards. What is this?

The three of them walked and looked at the roadside stalls. An old man selling tofu pudding had just finished selling and was packing up to leave. This stall was right at the intersection, which was a great location for them to sell ice jelly. Zheng Yuan quickly stepped forward and put the bucket in her hand there, occupying this position.

At this time, Dashu and Erhe also came back with water. When they saw them, they hurried over with buckets.

Everything was ready, and the sisters' ice jelly stand started business. Zheng Yuan and Tao'er were responsible for scooping ice jelly, Duan Minmin was still responsible for collecting money, and Dashu and Erhe were responsible for washing dishes.

With the loud shouts of Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, the crowd gradually gathered around.

The women in the village were also surprised when they heard their shouting. Old Lady Duan and Old Lady Zheng were really shameless. The two women dared to shout loudly in the street. They would not be able to do that. They would be too embarrassed.

But you know what, their lines of speech are quite interesting, one after another. I didn't realize these two old ladies were so capable.

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

......

Not to mention, although this group of women were annoying as they kept following them, but now that they were gathered around the ice jelly stall, it looked like the stall was very popular, and other people couldn't help but gather around when they saw it.

Sure enough, there is a reason why those modern internet celebrity stores that hire people to queue up to create hype have long queues.

With the unique shouts of Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, the stall was soon surrounded by people.

At first everyone just came over to take a look out of curiosity, but soon those who had drunk there last time at the market came running over following the noise.

"Oh! I spent so much time looking for you. I thought you weren't coming. Give me two bowls quickly." A bearded man wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out a copper coin and handed it over.

"I'm sorry, big brother. We just opened. I'll make it for you right away. I promise to give you enough ice and sugar."

Zheng Yuan deftly scooped two bowls of ice jelly, picked up a piece of ice, scraped a full layer of ice into it, asked Tao'er to pour brown sugar on it and handed it to the man.

The man must have been thirsty for a long time, so he took it and drank the whole bowl in one breath. He felt refreshed and then slowly drank the other bowl.

"Your ice jelly is really good. It's ice and sugar for just three cents. I couldn't stop thinking about this ice after I drank it last time, so I came here specially today." The man said as he drank.

Seeing him like this, the people watching couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

At this time, someone who had eaten the dish at the market last time came over after hearing the noise and bought a bowl without hesitation.

While eating, he was showing off to the people around him how precious the ice was, saying that only rich masters could afford to eat it, and he looked very proud of it.

The crowd couldn't help it and rushed forward, scrambling to buy one bowl each. Several people immediately entered a battle state, each doing their own thing, busy and having a lot of fun.

The women who were pushed aside by the crazy crowd stared at the popular ice jelly stall in amazement. The people in this city are too rich. The three-cent ice jelly is given away as if it were free. Some were crowding to give money to Tao'er Niang, and some were arguing about who came first and who came later.

The women watching enviously looked at the busy people, especially Duan Minmin, who was smiling brightly even though her hands were cramping from counting money. They still said they couldn't make any money. Even if they deducted the benefits they had to give to the nobleman in Mr. Zhang's house, they could at least make a hundred or eighty coins.

Who in the village can earn a hundred or eighty coins a day? Working in the town can only earn twenty coins a day at most, and that's for hard labor. No wonder, no wonder they can afford to buy meat every day.

If Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin knew what they were thinking, they would definitely say, "Sisters, your vision is too low. Open your mind a little. One hundred or eighty cents is not enough. You should at least multiply it by ten!"

The few people who had been scared off by Zheng Yuan's words about the high cost of ice jelly on the ox cart this morning began to get excited again after seeing this. Seeing their ice jelly being sold out bowl by bowl, some people ran towards the grocery store.

The stalls were busy and they had no energy to pay attention to the women watching. Even if they saw them, they wouldn't care, because it's not easy to sell ice jelly.

Although the amount was doubled today, the weather was getting hotter and the popularity of the ice jelly sales last time was also strong, so the business at this stall never stopped. In about an hour and a half, the ice jelly in the bucket was sold out.
