Chapter 268: Cents

"Don't say it, this thing really deserves the name of ice powder, and the cool feeling when you first eat it is really relieving!" It was Song Yun, the shopkeeper of the rice shop not far away, who had been doing business here for a long time.

Originally, he didn't have the intention to join in the fun, but now he doesn't know what's going on, this sun is poisonous, and no matter how much tea he drinks, his mouth is still dry and uncomfortable, he originally wanted to go to the market to buy a melon to eat, and he happened to see a stall here, and he came over with curiosity.

After tasting the ice powder, the whole person is satisfied, and the dryness that has been in the mouth for a long time has also dispersed, and the weather is not yet the hot weather in July, and there is no ice bowl for sale.

A chubby man next to him said, "No, I heard the shopkeeper Qi say that this is made of medicinal materials, and eating it in summer can clear heat and detoxify!" It's much better than any ice bowl, and that stuff is easy to eat and spoil your stomach! ”

In this era, all the ice that can be eaten in this day is saved from last winter, and when you eat it, you need to take the cleanest ice and smash it into a bowl, and pour it into the boiled syrup and fruit.

However, not everyone has an ice cellar, so in the summer there will also be vendors carrying burdens along the street, a bowl of crushed ice is not cheap, enough to be worth two or three bowls of ice powder, belongs to the rich family can afford to eat.

Moreover, children have a sweet tooth and often eat too much and have stomach troubles, which is one of the reasons why everyone is disgusted.

Now there is more such a summer and healthy food, the big guys are very satisfied, and after today's portion is sold, some people still ask if they will come here tomorrow to sell.

Qi Ling cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile, "Naturally, I will bring another kind of food tomorrow, and I guarantee that everyone has never eaten it!" ”

Everyone laughed, "Nacheng, then we are all here tomorrow waiting for you!" ”

When the ice powder was sold out, it was already close to evening, Mrs. Jia and Ye Qin packed up the pots and bowls they brought, and Gu Jinfeng put the tables and chairs together and prepared to move them back together when the time came.

The two large pots of ice powder were all sold, and Qi Ling specially asked Ye Qin to leave a bowl for Nuan'er, but this girl had been watching her for a long time.

Qi Ling shook the money box in her hand, and there was a heavy impact sound from inside, which made her heart flutter.

"You like money so much?"

Qi Ling looked back at him, and his tone was full of righteousness, "Naturally, I like money, there is a good saying, money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible!" ”

Gu Jinfeng chuckled: "Then according to what you say, those high-spirited readers who don't love money are all fools?" ”

"I don't know if they're stupid or not, but I know they won't be able to afford to eat soon." Qi Ling put the money box into the cloth bag and greeted with a smile, "Go back and get some money!" ”

It made everyone laugh.

The process of counting the money has always made her very cheerful, and the weather is not so hot after dinner, Qi Ling opened the money box in the front hall, and poured out a pile of copper coins, mixed with a few broken silver, and rolled to the side.

Ye Qin and Ah Nian were stunned, just two hours of selling time, they had exchanged so much money and silver!

Gu Jinfeng calmly brought the rope and prepared to string the copper coins that Qi Ling had counted for easy preservation.

She graciously grabbed two handfuls of copper coins and put them in front of the two little guys, "I can't count so many, can I ask you to help me together?" ”

The two little ones who can help Qi Ling do things will naturally not refuse.

In the end, it was a total of ten taels of silver and five coins, which shocked Ye Qin all of a sudden, although he didn't know how much the cost of this ice powder was, but it was sold for so much money in such a short period of time... It's shocking!

He couldn't imagine for a moment that if he waited until the shop opened... What kind of prosperity should that be?

Qi Ling flipped the copper coin string in his hand, took out two strings and put them in front of Gu Jinfeng, and took out two more strings and gave them to Ye Qin.

Gu Jinfeng frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”

It was not for nothing that he was willing to come here to do the accounting office, Qi Ling would now give him five taels of silver every month, and now he has saved a lot.

Qi Ling knew that he was definitely going to blow up, and hurriedly reassured, "You guys listen to me first." ”

"Today's business, I am not counted in the turnover of the shop, to put it bluntly, it is the extra money we earn, so go out of the capital of two taels of silver, and we will divide the rest, but you are not allowed to say anything unwanted, this is what you deserve, tomorrow we have to go out to be busy, and then it will trouble you."

Mrs. Jia had already taken care of Nuan'er's affairs and went back first, and Qi Ling was ready to give her the money tomorrow.

Ye Qin looked at the copper coin on the table with a complicated expression, and Ah Nian was also watching from the side, as if he was puzzled why the shopkeeper Qi still gave money to his brother.

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and put it away!" Qi Ling put his share into his purse, "The remaining five coins and silver will go to Hongbin Building tomorrow to buy two roast chickens!" ”

Gu Jinfeng was amused for a moment, took out one of the strings of copper coins and put it in front of her, "How can you buy two roast chickens, why don't you have a banquet." ”

Qi Ling smiled slyly, "Nacheng, if you believe me, we will have a good meal in the shop tomorrow night, and it is guaranteed to be fresh food that you have never eaten!" ”

Gu Jinfeng raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll wait and see." ”

After dividing the money, everyone went back to sleep, and Qi Ling didn't have time to deal with the matter in the courtyard, so Ah Nian had to sleep with her, and sleeping for a few days made the relationship between the two better and better.

"Sister Qi." Ah Nian timidly said, "Tomorrow... Can I help? ”

Qi Ling was a little surprised: "Why do you want to go over and help?" ”

"I don't want to be paid!" Perhaps because she was afraid that Qi Ling would misunderstand, she hurriedly said more, blushing and lowering her head, "You are a good person, you have helped us so much, and you have given my brother silver, so Ah Nian also wants to help you......"

Qi Ling smiled and touched her little head, "Yes, we just lack manpower!" Come with us tomorrow! ”

Ah Nian looked surprised: "Really?!" ”

"But it's going to be tiring, you have to hold on."

"Ah Nian is not afraid!" The little girl clenched her fists and swore that she was really cute.

"That's okay, tomorrow Ah Nian will help my sister greet guests, and when it's over, I'll buy you sugar gourds to eat."

Qi Ling was laughing and laughing here, but at the same time, the Gu Mansion was gloomy.

"Master, you didn't ask someone to inquire about the situation?" The Xun family is also anxious now, three or four days have passed since Gu Zifeng was suspended, obviously Xu Shangshu said that it was just a small punishment and let him rest at home for a few days, but just this afternoon, there was news that he was going to re-elect the waiter!

Gu Zifeng broke several teacups for this, and sent several family members to inquire about the situation, but they were all driven out without exception, and when they came back, they also said that those people had an extremely bad attitude, and several of them were beaten and slightly injured.

"Can I go without asking someone? But there's no way to find out now! Gu Zifeng remembered that he was like an ant on a hot pot, and after getting the news first, he went to Xu Su to ask what the situation was.

But when he arrived at the gate of the house, he was driven away before he could enter, which made him so angry that he almost fainted.

Isn't this the news that the waiter is going to be replaced?

Who is behind this?
