When the little shopkeeper heard this, it was not good to lower the price again, but the conditions given by Zhuang Mingyue could be regarded as selling Fengxian's favor.

After some thought, the little shopkeeper immediately responded, and asked the little guy behind him to bring a pen and ink inkstone, and wrote the contract with a sigh.

"You've seen it!" After the little shopkeeper's signature was finished, he handed the contract to Zhuang Mingyue.

Zhuang Mingyue nodded, looked up and down, and then signed: "Fengxian is a restaurant with moral integrity, I don't think you will deceive my small shop, and in the next period of time, the more the better." ”

A trace of cunning slipped through Zhuang Mingyue's eyes, and she could sit at home and count the money again.

Sure enough, not long after signing the contract with Fengxian, some restaurants that were famous in the capital saw that Fengxian had eaten a lot of money because of cold drinks, and they couldn't help but come to discuss with Zhuang Mingyue.

Zhuang Mingyue sold at a high or low price, but it was as low as the price for Fengxian, and it was too high for someone to sell it at the original price.

She actually knew that harmony was the most important thing in doing business, but the person sent by the restaurant was really arrogant, and she didn't look down on Zhuang Mingyue and her small shop at all. Between his words, all of them revealed his discrimination against Zhuang Mingyue as a woman.

For this kind of store, it is already a benevolent act for her not to double the sale.

Zhuang Mingyue has a quiet life, and she will also go to the small shop to walk around. As long as it's hot, her business will be good, and the money will keep coming.

It's just that the store is so busy that your feet don't touch the ground.

Fortunately, Zhuang Mingyue's most important step in making cold drinks is only known to her, and the young guys who are scattered around her shop are just doing it according to the mold. Even if you learn it, without the most important step, it will be useless.

Because of this, Zhuang Mingyue has free time. Otherwise, she doesn't know what she will be tired of.

"How's it tasted lately?" Zhuang Mingyue shook her fan and leaned against the door, looked at a familiar face and asked with a smile.

This familiar face is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and Zhuang Mingyue has seen him a lot in recent days.

She always felt like he was coming every day.

"Good!" The young man happily raised the cold drink in his hand, and the robe fluttered on him.

Zhuang Mingyue said goodbye to the young man, she looked at the young man's figure and felt very relieved.

In ancient times, people were often unable to cope with the more extreme weather, so she can be regarded as making some contributions, right?

She looked at the bustling crowd, sighed softly, twisted open the account book handed by the little servant with one hand, flipped through it hastily, and decided to take it back and look at it again.

Zhuang Mingyue was about to go home with the account book, when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a few unscrupulous people hiding in the corner, cowering, looking like she had some purpose.

Zhuang Mingyue frowned, turned around and went back to the store, and asked the little guy who was watching the store, "Let me ask you, are there any strange people in the store recently?" ”

"Strange people? It's not that I don't pay attention to the shopkeeper, it's just that there are too many people here, and I can't even take care of them. The little guy said helplessly to Zhuang Mingyue, "What do you say you need to pay attention to, I'll help watch it now." ”

"It's okay, you pay attention." Zhuang Mingyue poked her head out and just happened to bump into those sneaky people, she didn't look away, but walked out of the shop casually.

Those people didn't know when they came, how long they came, or what they wanted to do.

Zhuang Mingyue was a little stunned, now that her business is doing so well, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will look at her and deliberately suppress her like last time, until it closes down.

Zhuang Mingyue's worries turned out to be a fact, and the things that suddenly became popular in the capital, how could everyone not be blushing. And there are a few curious people who think that if there is no ice in this cold drink, how can it be done.

Gradually, some people suspected that Zhuang Mingyue had hidden ice in her shop.

The psychology of the little citizens is always as if they can't see others, and several people hit it off and sued a piece of paper to Jingzhaoyin's mansion.

The man also said eloquently: "This cold drink is such a cold thing, how can it be done without the assistance of ice!" Zhuang Mingyue is so bold that she actually hides ice at home! ”

Lord Jingzhao Yinfu doesn't have a reason not to believe it, how can there be anything in the world that can make ice without ice? So I didn't censor anything anymore, so I took a team of people and went to Zhuang Mingyue's shop that day.

Zhuang Mingyue is still watering the flowers at home, she has been very busy in the past two days, and the accounts at the beginning and end of the month have to be calculated.

It's just that the water has just been sprinkled, and before Zhuang Mingyue can appreciate a little bit of his masterpiece, the little guy in the store is so anxious that he can't knock the door open.

Zhuang Mingyue was stunned when she heard the knock on the door outside, and hurriedly put down the kettle and opened the door.

I didn't expect it to be a little guy in the store.

As soon as the little girl saw her, she said breathlessly: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper ......"

As the little guy took a breath, Zhuang Mingyue's eyelids jumped and jumped: "What's wrong?" What's going on in the store? ”

"The people from Jingzhao Yin Mansion have come to raid the store!"

"What's going on!" Zhuang Mingyue was shocked, some time ago she was still looking at those sneaky people and felt uneasy, and sure enough, this happened.

"You've got to go check it out first!" The little guy was a little anxious.

Zhuang Mingyue turned around and closed the door: "Okay, I'll go, let's go." ”

When Zhuang Mingyue arrived at the shop, a group of old customers were surrounding the door staring curiously inside. As soon as she came, she caused a commotion.

"The shopkeeper is here! The people of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion have been in for a while! Check it out! ”

"The shopkeeper must hold on, otherwise we don't know where to go if we want to eat cold drinks in the future."

Zhuang Mingyue nodded in response, and didn't open the crowd to see the lintel of her shop until her face was about to stiffen with laughter.

There were two people with iron tools standing at the door, and Zhuang Mingyue wanted to walk straight in, but was stopped.

"Idlers are not allowed to enter." The voices of the officers and soldiers were cold, and their faces were expressionless.

Zhuang Mingyue frowned slightly: "I'm the shopkeeper here, can't I go in?" ”

"Nope." The two officers and soldiers looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Zhuang Mingyue felt a little tricky, and glanced back at the little guy: "What's the matter?" ”

"The shopkeeper, probably it's still searching inside." The little guy didn't know what was going on, so he replied stubbornly.

Zhuang Mingyue nodded, which was a response. She stood in front of the door for a while, only to feel that the sun was scorching, stopped for a while, and then turned around and asked, "Then my identity as a guest of the imperial court, can I still go in and have a look." ”

The faces of the officers and soldiers changed in an instant, how did they know that there was such a relationship, the two looked at each other, and could not respond for a long time, and finally one of them proposed: "Girl, you wait outside the door, I will ask." ”

Zhuang Mingyue bowed slightly, and after a while, someone came out, and when she saw her, she immediately smiled and said, "Girl, please." ”

Zhuang Mingyue didn't shirk it, and went in with the little girl. There are still a few blind dates behind him, so Zhuang Mingyue must not be copied.

Zhuang Mingyue could hear it, but when she turned into the house, she was frightened by the chaos. She expected that the officers and soldiers were coming, and they would definitely turn it over, but she didn't expect it to be so thorough, and some places that could be seen at a glance would have to be turned over and looked at repeatedly, so that the room was a mess.

Everywhere there were tables and chairs with their feet facing the sky, and the cups containing cold drinks were also overturned to the ground, and there were some account books and books scattered around, and there was nowhere for dignitaries to walk forward.

Zhuang Mingyue's face was a little ugly.

This...... It's too messy.

Zhuang Mingyue tightened her cuffs, suppressing the unhappiness in her heart. After all, in addition to his identity as a guest secretary, he is just a small citizen, and there is still a gap between him and these people who eat imperial food.

Zhuang Mingyue walked inside again, the thing was indeed almost turned over, and several officers and soldiers stood in groups, not knowing what they were talking about, and their faces were a little incredulous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what's wrong?" Zhuang Mingyue took out her usual fan from her cuffs, half-hid her face and half-shook it and walked in, "But what did you turn over?" ”

"Oh, shopkeeper Zhuang." One of them turned to face Zhuang Mingyue, looking like the leader, "Some people say that you have hidden ice privately, but now it seems that it is just a misjudgment." ”

"I never hide ice, I can't do any of these things." Zhuang Mingyue smiled.

"I know you, we're just going to take a look, and since we don't, let's go. Don't add to the blockage of the shopkeeper. The officers and soldiers hugged their fists and left, leaving a lot of messes for Zhuang Mingyue to clean up by herself.

She doesn't complain about anything now.

Now that the official has come and turned around and left empty-handed, her family's reputation for cold drinks will definitely be famous - she can make cold drinks without ice, and it is so mysterious to say it.

Zhuang Mingyue smiled knowingly, and without waiting for her to arrange for someone to clean up the house, people outside who were either joining in the fun or buying cold drinks rushed in, Zhuang Mingyue saw this situation, and I am afraid that it will not be able to clean it up today.

But she is not at this time, the more people see the better, and the more people know.

"Ah, this place! Gotta clean up! Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Zhuang Mingyue raised her voice: "Yes, if you are not in a hurry, just go back and ask someone to clean up." With that, she patted the little guy on the shoulder, "It's so messy in the store now, you have to watch it for me." Don't open in the next two days, these people in the store come in to see the excitement, so please go out. "Zhuang Mingyue has arranged everything, and she got out first.

I went back to my small yard and sprinkled all the remaining flowers that had not been watered.

She sat comfortably in her small courtyard, and only sighed gloomily that there were not many good days left. She'll have to worry about the store for a while.

Zhuang Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, until the store was up and down.

And just as she was about to breathe this breath, someone from the palace suddenly came to visit and came with the holy decree.

"Zhuang Keqing, it's so idle." The father-in-law in the palace was just a little polite, and the rest was to recite the holy decree again. To the effect that the emperor was very interested in her being able to make cold drinks without ice, he asked her to make them at the emperor's family banquet.

Zhuang Mingyue took the order in an orderly manner, even if it was due to this errand. In her heart, this is not a difficult thing, but it is the ability to make money for herself. It's also great to be able to perform in front of the emperor.
