399 Complicated Age
“Alright, alright, alright.” Liu Guixia agreed, her face was full of smiles.
Then, Xue Sifu called Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Wufu to get on the ox cart. He got on the cart after the three did.
When they reached the town, they first brought the things on the ox cart to the stall.
Seeing that the person selling next to their stall had turned into the aunt diagonally opposite them, even though Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t come to town yesterday, they weren’t surprised at all.
The lady had said it herself.
When the lady saw them, she smiled at Xue Sifu, “There you are. A few people came to your stall yesterday. I told them that you had something to do yesterday and needed to rest for a day. I said you’d be here today.” Immediately, the aunt lowered her voice, “Although I don’t know why you said that, it’s best that you’re back. If you really go, I’ll have to pay for my stall for two months. You’ve already paid for two months, so as long as you’re still here, my stall will have some business.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Xiao looked at each other. They understood that this lady was relying on Sifu for business.
If they didn’t pay like this and instead paid the stall fees day by day, it was very likely that someone would occupy the stall earlier than this aunt one day.
“By the way, why do you have so many small boxes?” The lady felt that something was strange. In fact, there was a Xue’s Popsicle word written on the wooden box, but the lady was illiterate, so she was naturally curious about the box first.
“From today onwards, our family will start selling ice!” Xue Sifu smiled.
When the aunt heard this, she immediately became excited. “Your family is going to be rich! Thank you, thank you. I finally know why you want me to pay for the stall for two months first. Thank you so much! You’re a good person!”
“You don’t have to be so polite. We’re all here to do business.” Xue Sifu laughed.
The lady still thanked him a few more times before speaking again, “You guys go ahead, I won’t hold you up any longer.” With that, she quickly returned to her stall, afraid of delaying their work.
Other than the wooden box for Doctor Shen, everything else had been unloaded from the ox cart.
Immediately after, Xue Wufu looked after the items at the stall while Jiang Yue and Xue Yan followed Xue Sifu to Shen’s Medical Center.
One was to bring over the things that were placed in the backyard of Shen’s Medical Center, and the second was to bring ice to Doctor Shen.
Doctor Shen was very happy to see them. “Yesterday, when Sifu came to buy the ingredients for the sour plum juice, I heard him say that ice can really be made. Alright, alright, I’ll accept it with open arms.” He opened the box to take a look. When he saw the so-called popsicle, his eyes lit up. “This popsicle looks finer than ice.”
“Jiang Yue figured it out,” Xue Yan said.
Doctor Shen looked at Jiang Yue, stroked his beard, and nodded.”You’re so young, but you’re very smart.”
“Doctor Shen, if you don’t have enough ice, you can let us know and we’ll immediately bring you more.” Xue Sifu smiled.
Doctor Shen laughed. “There are only a few people in my family. This amount of ice is definitely enough for a day. Thank you for offering to send the ice every day.”
“It’s no trouble at all. Our things are all in your backyard. We just brought them along on the way. There’s no trouble.” Xue Sifu laughed.
Doctor Shen smiled and said, “I made a new recipe for sour plum juice. It’s better at relieving summer heat and tastes better. I haven’t told anyone yet. You can come back later to take the ingredients and cook it. I’m even willing to let your family send ice to my family every day. You can’t be like yesterday and insist on giving me money for the ingredients of the sour plum juice. It’s not worth much. Don’t act as an outsider.”
