The next day, Xie Songbai came earlier than usual. His wife Qian and Xie Songyang also came with him. Seeing the strong yellow cattle in the yard, Xie Songyang was excited.

"This ox must have cost a lot of money." Xie Songyang touched the ox cart and couldn't let it go.

"I happened to meet an old man selling a cow at the door of the pawnshop. The price was very reasonable, eight taels of silver."

Xie Songlin asked the two brothers to move the sour plum soup in the kitchen to the car. The ice cubes were added last night and had been stored in the space to keep them fresh. Xie Songlin got up early and moved them out and put them in the kitchen.

Fortunately, Xie Wanxing was idle at home and devoted himself to studying the function of the space. He discovered that the ice cubes were not replenished in a daily quantity, but would be replenished immediately once the grid of the refrigerator's ice maker was empty. Otherwise, even if Xie Wanxing was a big ice consumer in modern times, the ice cubes in the refrigerator would not be enough to do business.

Furthermore, only items in the villa could be replenished, and they could be replenished as long as they left the villa, without having to use the space. Therefore, Xie Wanxing used empty buckets to fill the space with ice cubes for backup. Furthermore, she also carried all the flower tea and fruit tea ingredient packages from her cabinet out of the villa every day. After all, sour plum soup couldn't be sold all year long, so she had already started making preparations for her father's tea business in the future.

Of course, moving things in the space can be done with just a thought, otherwise with her small body of five years old, she would not be able to move anything.

There were a total of sixteen barrels of sour plum soup. Six barrels were loaded onto the village chief's ox cart, and Xie Songbai took Qian and Cheng Hui to set up a stall at the dock. The remaining ten barrels were loaded onto the newly purchased ox cart, and Xie Songlin and Xie Songyang were responsible for delivering them to Zuiyue Tower.

Two ox carts left Xiejia Village together, loaded with wooden barrels. Naturally, some villagers were curious, and some clever ones had already gone to Old Lady Shen's house to inquire. Of course, Old Lady Shen would not say anything, and the only one at home, Old Third Xie, was like a gourd with a sawed-off mouth.

When they arrived at the town entrance, they split into two groups.

Xie Songbai had been setting up his stall for three days and was already familiar with the place. Surprisingly, before they even arrived, there were already people waiting at the old place where his stall was set up. When they saw Xie Songbai and others' ox cart appear, they gathered around. The sales of sour plum soup were as hot as ever.

Moreover, the amount of ice in the bucket is greater than the amount of water. This is the ratio calculated by Xie Wanxing. The ice is transported to the dock by ox cart. Even if it takes a whole afternoon to sell, the sour plum soup in the bucket is still ice-cold.

On the other side, Xie Songlin and Xie Songyang also had a very smooth journey. As soon as they arrived at Zuiyue Tower, someone came to lead them to transport the goods directly to the kitchen. The kitchen helpers helped them pour the sour plum soup, which still had some ice cubes, into a special jar to keep it cold.

At the same time, Shopkeeper Yang had already made sufficient preparations, and special bowls had already filled a large table in the kitchen.

Today, every customer who dines in the restaurant will receive a bowl of refreshing and appetizing iced sour plum soup. This advertisement was put out by Shopkeeper Yang yesterday.

Undoubtedly, in this bustling town, some people had heard about the new iced drinks that had recently appeared at the dock. However, only a few had actually tried them. Most people were too lazy to make a special trip to the dock just for a bowl of sweet soup that cost a penny. More importantly, they might even go for nothing, as the iced drinks at the dock didn't seem to be in sufficient supply.

Being able to get a free bowl of plum juice at Zuiyuelou was a novelty, attracting quite a few people. The already crowded Zuiyuelou was even more packed today. The staff were busy, weaving through the crowds, serving bowl after bowl of plum juice.

Xie Songlin watched the bustling scene unfold before him, but a headache gripped him. He hadn't expected Shopkeeper Yang to be so optimistic about the sour plum soup, even using such promotional tactics. The ingredient pack could only be replenished once a day, and right now, he simply didn't have the ingredients ready to make more. Compared to what Xie Wanxing made in modern times, the sour plum soup he sold daily was already a watered-down version.

Because of her job, my daughter is not very keen on buying milk tea drinks outside. Instead, she prefers to make some flower tea and fruit tea at home. Therefore, there are many types and quantities of material packages at home. However, even so, these material packages cannot meet the daily demand for so much.

He believed that after what Shopkeeper Yang did today, the demand for sour plum soup would only grow in the future, and he himself also had to rely on this to do business, and could not rely entirely on the material package in his daughter's space. Fortunately, the things needed for the material package were easy to find, and he could get them all at the Chinese medicine store. It's just that rock sugar was a scarce commodity in ancient times, and the cost was too high, so he couldn't rely on using this thing to cook.

Xie Songlin packed a large amount of ingredients for sour plum soup, such as tangerine peel and licorice, at the Chinese medicine store. Since he couldn't get rock sugar, he had to buy some white sugar and took it home. He planned to ask his daughter to make a recipe to try the taste.

Xie Songlin and Xie Songyang packed up their things and planned to go to the dock to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the dock, they found that Xie Songbai and his friends had already closed their stall. This was a pleasant surprise. The advertisement of Zuiyuelou did benefit them. The news of free iced sour plum soup not only attracted many diners to Zuiyuelou, but also made some people think of the iced drinks at the dock after hearing about it.

As a result, more people came to buy sour plum soup today than usual.

Xie Songlin happily went to cut a few more pounds of ribs. After paying his two brothers their wages, he also gave them some ribs and asked them to take them back to honor Old Mrs. Shen.

Just as he got home, he ran into Xie Songmu, who had come to deliver a bamboo vase. The vase was incredibly finely crafted, with a smooth surface and a pleasant feel that made it irresistible. The engraved logo on the vase was even better than he had imagined, with smooth, clear lines that showcased Xie Songmu's dedication and craftsmanship.

Xie Songlin picked up a bamboo tube bottle and looked at it carefully. He was amazed at Xie Songmu's craftsmanship. This time, a total of thirty narrow bamboo bottles and thirty wide-mouthed bamboo cups were delivered. Xie Songlin immediately paid his third brother 180 coins as wages and asked him to continue to speed up the production of bamboo bottles. He already had a new business prototype in his mind, and this batch of bamboo bottles would be an important part of this new business, and he was just waiting for them to be released together.

He piled all the ingredients he bought today in the kitchen, informed his daughter, and asked her to think about the recipe carefully at home tomorrow. He acted as if whether the business could expand depended entirely on her. Xie Wanxing was very upset by his look.

"There's nothing to figure out. I'll just mix it according to the proportions. Dad, is it possible? The ancient people weren't as picky as you think. Besides, I made my sour plum soup so dilute that they couldn't tell whether you added white sugar or rock sugar. They'd just taste the ice."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, but they were also reasonable.

He really cannot use the demanding taste of modern people who are used to eating fine food to compare with ancient people. In this era, the living standards of ordinary people were limited, and their ability to appreciate delicious food might also be relatively low.

In their eyes, the diluted sour plum soup was perhaps more popular because of the refreshing feeling it brought with the ice cubes. On a hot summer day, that refreshing coolness was enough to make them forget their fatigue and heat, and the hint of sweetness was the icing on the cake.
