Chapter 20
Chu First asked awkwardly, “Qingzhi, where should we sell the ice cream bar?”
Chu Qingzhi recalled the map of the county in her mind and said, “Go to the crossroad in the center of the county to sell. Many people are coming out to buy things now, and it’s hot. It’s a good time to sell ice cream bars.”
Chu First pushed the cart towards the crossroad in the center of the county.
On the way, Chu Qingzhi did not stay idle. She opened her mouth and peddled. “Ice cream bar. Does anyone want some ice cream bars?”
Her voice contained spiritual power. After it spread, everyone on the street heard it.
Ice cream bars were a very new thing to the people at that time. When everyone heard it, they turned around, their eyes filled with curiosity.
“Mother, let’s go and see what the ice cream bar is.” A little boy held his mother’s hand and walked towards Chu Qingzhi.
Chu Qingzhi smiled and took out an orange ice cream bar from the wooden box and handed it to the little boy. Under the sun, the ice cream bar made people feel cool.
“This is an ice cream bar. Eat it.”
The little boy hurriedly took the ice cream bar from Chu Qingzhi, but he did not forget to thank her. “Thank you, Sister.”
The little boy’s mother was terrified. This was ice. It was extremely expensive. Only the nobles in the capital could use ice in summer.
Her lips trembled as she asked, “Miss, how much is this?”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and waved her hand. “It’s not expensive. Ten copper for one.”
Hearing that, the little boy’s mother heaved a sigh of relief. She immediately paid. “Thank you, Miss.”
One ice cream bar was only sold for ten copper coins. The people on the street immediately surrounded Chu QIngzhi. “Give me one, give me one…”
When Chu First and the others saw this, they widened their eyes in surprise. When they came, they were worried that they would not be able to sell it. They did not expect it to be so easy to sell.
Chu Qingzhi stood in front of everyone. “Everyone, line up. There will be one for each of you.”
In this hot summer, everyone’s desire for something cool was like a stranded fish’s desire for water. In order to buy an ice cream bar as soon as possible, everyone began to line up.
Only then did Chu Qingzhi move aside. “Everyone, prepare the money in advance.”
She turned around and waved at Chu First and the others. “What are you waiting for? Take the money and sell the goods.”
Only then did Chu First and the other two react and start to sell the ice cream bar.
After everyone received the ice cream bar, they took a bite and revealed intoxicated expressions. “It’s so cool and filled with the fragrance of oranges. Delicious, delicious…”
“It’s really delicious. This ice cream bar is amazing.”
“Miss, are you still coming to sell tomorrow?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Yes, but it will probably be sold at the crossroad in the center of the county. However, if we encounter a situation like today, it will probably be sold out before we reach the crossroad.”
“Then when will you come to the county?”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and replied, “About this time.”
A middle-aged man said, “Miss, give me five more ice cream bars. I’ll bring them back for my family to try.”
Chu Qingzhi quickly packed it up. “Okay.”
“Pack three for me too.”
“I want four.”
In front of the small cart, it was extremely lively.
Rong Yupeng walked over from the other side of the street. When he saw how lively the scene was, he couldn’t help but stop. Then, he instructed the servant behind him, “Go and take a look to see what’s going on there.”
The servant quickly replied, “Yes, Young Master.”
The servant quickly ran to the cart. When he saw it, he was shocked. It was actually ice. “How much is it?”
“Ten copper coins.”
The servant was shocked again. “What? Only ten copper coins?” In the capital, ice was sold by catty. It was a tael of silver per catty. It was so expensive that only rich families could afford it.
