Employed husband

During the Taiping period, the gates of the city were not closed during the New Year's festival, so that it was convenient for the people inside and outside the city to visit and visit friends.

There are no special activities during the day of Aunt's Day, but some streets are allowed to open stalls, and there will be more stalls for girls' things, snacks, and entertainment items.

At night, there is a river lantern project. Unmarried girls pray to meet a good man, and married daughters-in-law pray for family harmony and early birth of a baby, and there will be more people.

Because there are many children in the family, it is difficult to take care of them.In addition, green plum juice is more delicious to drink when it is hot, so Zheng Daliang decided to go to the city during the day and start selling it around noon.

The location of the stall was chosen near the Xingye Temple in the city. There are many tributary water systems here, and it is the place where the river lanterns are concentrated every year. There is also a stage in the temple to sing operas, so it is more lively than other places.

Zheng Daliang and the others entered the city early, and the vendors near Xingye Temple were not so crowded. They found a shady place, and Daliang, Sister, and Brother Shiqiao set up the stalls. Friends go to enjoy the scenery.

Because of the popularization of the importance of salesperson's appearance in sales work, the three of Zheng Daliang specially dressed up today, wearing their best clothes, looking clean and capable.

Except for a thin layer of plant ash on Zheng Daliang's head, other parts showed his true colors. His fair skin and deep eyes were particularly obvious, and his appearance was more heroic and handsome, with a high spirit.

Even Shiqiao couldn't help but keep looking at her, wondering if my brother is so good-looking?Why didn't I find it before?But looking at Zheng Erniang again, he felt balanced, um, the children of the Zheng family are all good-looking... To be able to marry a good-looking person and be a brother-in-law with a good-looking person, Shiqiao is quite happy, hehe.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Zheng Daliang mixed a bowl of green plum juice, covered it with gauze, and put it on the desk.Served in a white rough porcelain bowl provided by Shijia, the amber liquid is clear and exudes a cool fragrance. There are two crystal clear plum fruits floating on the soup, and there are two wild flowers as decorations on the side of the bowl.Although it is simple, you can feel the ingenious thoughts of the merchants, making people have the desire to drink it all up.

The presentation is really good!Zheng Daliang put his hands to his mouth and yelled vigorously: "Cangzhou Futou, sweet and sour green plum juice, good choice for relieving summer heat, appetizing, nourishing and beautifying, cheap, clean and delicious, all you beautiful girls and handsome boys come and see Look! Don't miss the most popular drink of the moment!"

Zheng Daliang's promotional words are quite convincing, at least she herself is a ready-made model.Coupled with the hot weather near noon, many young people have moved their minds to try it.

Soon, the first wave of customers came to her stall—two exquisite girls who dared to try new things.

Although Zhongjing's restraint on women is not as strict as that of the previous dynasty, there are still basic rules.The ladies who have not left the court are generally not allowed to go out to play at will. If they go out, they must wear a hat, which is a symbol of status.

One of the girls in front of me is wearing a water-blue gauze dress, and the other is wearing peach pollen.Looking at her figure, the one with the peach blossom powder was much younger. She looked at the green plum juice on display and shook the sleeves of the woman in the water-blue gauze skirt: "Sister..."

The girl in the water blue veil lightly patted the back of her hand to signal her not to worry, she stepped forward and said to Daliang, "Brother, please, bring me two bowls of green plum juice."

"Okay, do you want to take it away or drink it here? You can sit down and have a rest if you drink it here."

"Let's drink here." The girl in the water blue gauze skirt slightly nodded to Zheng Daliang, and sat down with her younger sister.

Zheng Daliang quickly prepared two bowls of green plum juice and brought them over: "You two are the first customers of my house, I will give you a few more green plums, please use it slowly."

"Thank you." The girl in the water blue gauze dress picked up the bowl and was slightly taken aback. The bowl was actually ice!The sweet fruity aroma floated into the nostrils, picked up a spoon and took a sip, the just right coolness and aroma went straight from the mouth into the abdomen, it was really comfortable for the whole body.

"Brother... Is your green plum juice... iced? Can you tell me where your ice cubes come from? I want to buy some too."

Can't blame the girl in the water blue gauze dress for being curious, there is no refrigerator at the moment.Ice cubes need to be prepared in winter, stored in the ice cellar, and used in summer with ice cream.No matter the ice cellar or the ice mirror, it needs a lot of money to maintain, and it is difficult for ordinary wealthy people to use it. Only the princes and nobles are blessed to enjoy it.

Karst caves are part of the natural environment. If a large number of ice blocks are harvested intensively in summer, it will cause irreversible environmental damage.

Zheng Daliang relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the mountains are their mothers. As children, naturally they can't do things like eating inside and outside.She smiled and said, "Excuse me, guest officer. Please forgive me for revealing business secrets."

Everyone has secrets, not to mention extremely precious commercial resources... The girl in blue gauze nodded in understanding and did not continue to ask.

At this time, the younger girl had already finished her bowl, and asked expectantly, "Sister, green plum juice is so delicious! Can I have another bowl?"

Not to mention little sister Taohuafen, even the begged elder sister wants to have an extra bowl!However, she has always been restrained, so she suppressed her appetite and said to her sister: "Okay, as long as Si Niang is happy today."

Zheng Daliang brought another bowl to the young girl at the request, and said cordially: "Coincidentally, I also have a girl named Si Niang, who also likes to drink very much. We are destined to meet again, and I will give you two more fruits." The girl thanked happily and took it.

When she wanted to drink the third bowl, Zheng Daliang stopped selling it.

Under the puzzled eyes of the two girls, she scratched her head and explained apologetically: "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you. This green plum juice does have the effect of detoxifying and beautifying the skin. Drinking it in moderation in midsummer can relieve the heat. But it is also slightly cold. What’s more, it’s also a bit sour, if you drink too much, it will hurt your spleen and stomach, especially for women, please forgive me.”

The girl in the water blue gauze looked at Zheng Daliang in surprise. This was the second time she was shocked by the boy in front of her today: "I didn't expect that the little shopkeeper is proficient in medical science! The merchant is kind, the little girl has been taught, thank you very much." Dare to ask how much is a bowl?"

Zheng Daliang was embarrassed by the praise, and his face was slightly red: "You are too much, twenty coins for a bowl, a total of sixty coins for you."

The girl in the water blue gauze shook her head: "It's missing, a bowl for thirty Wen."

"Ah?" Zheng Daliang was stunned.She just shook her head when she saw the girl in blue gauze, and thought she was too expensive and wanted to bargain... This Zhongjing person likes to take an unusual path?Did you talk about the price to Gaoli?what operation?Zheng Daliang was a little confused.

Amused by her silly expression, the girl in water blue gauze put ninety coins on the table and said: "My little brother's craftsmanship deserves this price, but in my opinion, it is still too little."

Zheng Daliang happily sent away the generous sisters, and raised the price as usual.But she didn't know that this time, she was watched by the purple-clothed woman who was enjoying the coolness under the tree next to her from the beginning to the end, but she laughed so hard.
