Jiang Ningning and his team have been using ice in their sausage and barbecue business for half a month.

What I brought back today was some extra food I bought specially because it was so hot. I have ice at home, so I can chill some food or drinks at any time.

Jiang Ningning knew that saltpeter was already used to make ice in this world.

However, the cost of saltpeter is much higher than the cost of chiseling large blocks of ice from extremely cold places in the north in winter, transporting them to cellars in the south, and storing them until the summer of the following year to open the cellars and sell them. Therefore, Dengping County still mainly stores ice.

Tao Cheng's family has many businesses, one of which is storing ice in winter and selling it in summer.

"Ningning, look, we also bought a big watermelon. We originally planned to buy two, but one family can't finish one, so let's just cut one big one for the two families." The four members of the Sun family said.

Now that life is better, I buy whatever I want to eat, unlike previous years when I couldn’t bear to buy ice, watermelon and other things.

"Great, I'll chill it now and we'll eat it later. Xiao Yan should be back soon." Jiang Ningning hurried over and said.

"Yeah!" The four Sun family members naturally had no objection.

Then the four Sun family members looked at the baskets of lychee fruits and asked, "Ningning, what are you doing with all these lychee fruits?"

"When I went to the rice paddy, I saw a lot of these fruits growing on the mountain, so I thought about picking some and seeing if I could come up with something new.

But I actually discovered that the seeds inside can be made into a transparent food, which tastes very good when poured with brown sugar water.

Then I went to pick some more in the afternoon.

Oh, and here's the transparent food, come and have a taste."

Jiang Ningning spoke half-seriously and half-jokingly while bringing out the small bowl of ice jelly she had made in the afternoon.

In fact, she saw that the weather was hot, especially in the past two days, the weather was even hotter, which led to a rapid decrease in the number of people eating barbecue during the day.

However, business is more prosperous at night because it is cooler at night than during the day.

Now there is business at 11pm and even 12pm in the evening.

But the shops and stalls cannot be wasted during the day. Besides, so many people have been hired, and the day and night shifts are clearly well arranged. There is more than enough manpower, so naturally the business of the shops and stalls must be improved during the day as well.

And on hot days, isn’t it the cold things that prevail?

Since someone had already sold the ice, she naturally found another way.

There are many ficus carica trees on the mountain, which bear a lot of ficus carica fruits. The seeds of these fruits can be used to make ice jelly.

In the hot summer, ice jelly doesn’t actually taste cool, but you can chill the ice jelly, or shave the ice into smoothie and add it to the ice jelly. Then it will taste cool, right?

In addition, she had verified in her previous world that ice jelly sold very well on hot days.

"Ah, you have figured out a new food again? Okay, okay, let's all try it." The four Sun family members were very surprised.

When they saw the transparent, jelly-like substance in the basin, the four of them had no idea how ficus pumila seeds could be used to make such a thing.

Jiang Ningning served Sun and the others a small bowl of ice jelly and poured brown sugar water on it, while explaining how she made it.

The four Sun family members were even more convinced.

The four of them quickly took the ice jelly and tasted it, saying, "It's smooth and tender, so delicious!"

Tian smiled and said, "It would definitely taste better if it were chilled! And it really does look like ice."

Jiang Ningning smiled and said, "That's why I named this ice jelly. I plan to sell it chilled. Or you can shave the ice into sand and add it directly. It's hot now, and daytime business has been affected, so I wanted to come up with something cold to see if I can boost daytime business."

The four of them were delighted and immediately said, "This will definitely be fine again! This is so delicious! You're right, it needs to be poured with brown sugar water, otherwise it will taste bland!"

"When selling, in addition to pouring brown sugar water, you should be able to put some peanuts, preserved fruits and other small ingredients on it. Anyway, we will prepare some at that time and let the customers choose what to put on it." Jiang Ningning said.

"That's great!" The four members of the Tian family all thought it was a good idea.

Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan couldn't help but eat another small bowl of ice jelly. If they hadn't had some chilled watermelon later, they would have had several more bowls. It was really delicious!

After eating the ice jelly, Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan said:

"Then let's go to the village chief and tell him we want to buy some ficus pumila seeds. He'll tell the villagers, and I'm sure many people will go pick the ficus pumila fruits, dry the seeds, and sell them to us. These few baskets of ficus pumila fruits definitely won't be enough."

Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan have made obvious progress by always following Jiang Ningning to learn. Now they know how to do many things without Jiang Ningning's reminder.

Jiang Ningning smiled and said, "That's right, but there has to be a deadline. Let's say within five days. We'll harvest all the ficus pumila seeds in the next five days. We won't harvest any that exceed this deadline. The weather is hot now, and the ficus pumila seeds can be dried in a day. Five days will definitely be enough."

Both Sun and Tian said, "We need to set a deadline. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if people still send us ficus pumila seeds when we don't want them anymore. Setting a deadline will also encourage everyone to pick them quickly and send them to us as soon as possible."

Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan asked, "How much is a reasonable price per pound of Ficus pumila seeds?"

On this matter, the two of them were somewhat undecided.

Sun and Tian were also undecided. Pricing was their worst skill.

Jiang Ningning said, "Eight cents per pound, right? One pound of seeds can make a lot of ice jelly, so we should be able to make a lot of money. Of course, we can't treat the people who work so hard to pick them, then cut them open, get the seeds, dry them, and sell them to us unfairly. Eight cents per pound should be about right."

After all, the ficus pumila trees in this world are all wild and can be found in many places. Even if the vines and leaves of the ficus pumila tree can be used as medicine, they are more than enough to supply medical clinics, which means that no one will plant ficus pumila trees.

Naturally, no one wants the ficus pumila seeds.

It's equivalent to no cost.

The amount of money a person earns depends on how many lychee fruits he picks and how many seeds he dries in a day.

It is completely possible for an adult to get a few kilograms of lychee seeds a day and earn a few dozen cents every day.

"Yes, yes, yes." The four Sun family members nodded.

When Jiang Shengcai and Xiao Fushan told the village chief about the purchase of litchi seeds, the village chief was also very happy.

After all, this is also a source of income for the villagers.

only--

"Eight cents per pound is not a low price, and there are ficus carica trees everywhere. If all the villagers and their families go out to work in these five days, do you know how many ficus carica seeds we can get? Is your family... sure you need so many ficus carica seeds?" The village chief asked again and again to confirm.
