Xiaoyue had just brought over ice cubes and milk tea ingredients, and she was sweating profusely from the heat. When she suddenly saw good news coming in, she quickly saluted.
Then, she stepped forward and said happily: "Princess, our fruit drinks are sold out! The third young master sent so many purple fruits here the day before yesterday. I followed your message and dug out the pulp and mixed it with honey. , ice cubes together, it tastes so delicious.
"Yesterday, we sold more than sixty pots, and one pot was thirty cents, which is two taels of silver! There is also milk tea. After dinner, the young gentlemen are willing to take a cup back, saying that they can drink it while attending evening classes, filling themselves up and relieving their sleepiness, which is much better than drinking tea.
"Our lady settled the account the day before yesterday and sold it a month ago..."
Xiaoyue is a lively person who can't hold back her words. She is also eager to share the good news, so she becomes even more arrogant.
Jiayin looked at the two and a half young men busy behind her, interrupted her in time, and said, "Oh, I'll pay the bill later. Sister Xiaoyue, give me a glass of fruit drink first. I haven't tasted it yet." Here!"
"Hey, hey, Princess, wait a minute, I will make you a drink!" Xiaoyue hurriedly went to find the passion fruit, and called two and a half boys to knock ice cubes.
The families of the two and a half grown-ups both live in this town, and are somewhat related to the steward of the college.
I heard that the canteen sells "new tea" and I need help. The steward came here to ask for help.
Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru made the decision for Wenjuan and kept her temporarily for a few days.
It turned out that the two boys were very diligent, didn't talk much at all, and were very studious.
They come to work every afternoon and go home after the evening classes at the college begin.
But they always come over before lunch to help Dazhu and others with chores, cleaning tables and chairs, washing dishes and chopsticks, and are not lazy at all.
Then in the afternoon, he started selling fruit drinks and milk tea with Xiaoyue in the small thatched shed, and occasionally ran errands to deliver them to the school building.
Whenever they had free time, they would look through a Mongolian book and ask Xiaoyue or the students who came to buy fruit drinks for advice. To practice calligraphy, they would use branches to make a few strokes on the ground.
Who wouldn't like such a diligent and motivated child?
Therefore, in addition to their wages, Li Laosan gave them an extra ten cents a day as a subsidy, plus provided lunch and dinner.
In a flash, the two boys have been coming to the cafeteria for two months.
At this moment, the two men brought over the wooden barrel wrapped in old cotton. After uncovering the quilt, they found a small pottery basin on the lid of the barrel. When they opened the pot, a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl was revealed.
A boy took an iron drill, reached into the hole, and pounded it hard a few times.
Another boy opened the cover, quickly scraped out a bowl of crushed ice cubes, and handed it to Xiaoyue.
Xiaoyue quickly took out a white porcelain mug, added a spoonful of passion fruit pulp, two spoons of honey, half a cup of cold water, and finally poured the crushed ice into it, stirred it evenly, and inserted a thin bamboo tube.
Jiayin took it, took a sip, and tasted the taste carefully.
Although it is still not as good as the drinks I drank in my previous life, it is better than the coolness and sweetness. In such a hot weather, one gulp makes me feel very comfortable from head to toe.
"Yeah, it tastes delicious!" She praised with a smile, making Xiaoyue and the two boys smile brightly. Xiaoyue asked: "Princess, is this purple fruit called passion fruit? It does taste much better than wild berries and sour fruits!"
Jiayin nodded, "This fruit drink can be called honey passion fruit. Drink, after the apples and pears have fallen, and the weather is cold, you can also make fruit tea and stew rock sugar and snow pear soup. As long as you think carefully, there will be more delicious things in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the business will not be bad!"
Xiaoyue heard this Excitedly, "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely work hard to figure it out!"
Soon, she quickly made a few more fruit drinks, and then followed the good news into the elegant room of the cafeteria on a tray.
Mrs. Li was talking to her son and daughter-in-law when she saw her granddaughter holding a white porcelain cup and drinking as she walked. She said angrily: "This child has become much more sensible recently. She is serious about learning rules and needlework, but she can't change her gluttony! I'm really afraid. She has gained too much flesh, which has delayed her growth!"
Zhao Yuru took her niece in her arms and waved a fan in her hand to fan her, "Mom is just greedy, our Fu Niu is so good, there is nothing better than This is a more considerate and smarter child! Our family is not as poor as before. What is missing? How can we lack food and drink for our children? Being able to eat is a good thing, and being able to eat is a blessing!"
Li Laosan also laughed naively and agreed. : "Fu Niu'er hasn't grown up yet!"
"Okay, just get used to it!" Old Mrs. Li couldn't laugh or cry, "I have become a bad grandma! It's the same at home, your second brother and Mr. Wen , Jinrou, and even the village chief, they always tell me every time they see me, please don't be too strict with Fu Niuer.
"The child reads every day, learns the rules, learns needlework, and runs to Doctor Zhang every now and then. I was afraid that she would be exhausted, but I was wronged!
"It's really not that I forced my child to work hard, it was her who suddenly became enlightened! She is as busy as a little spinning top every day, and I feel bad for her, so I brought her to play with her for a few days to let her rest and rest, and my ears can relax for a while."
Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru were both surprised. Zhao Yuru held her little niece in her arms and looked at her for a long time. After confirming that she was still the original niece, she was quietly relieved.
But she still couldn't help but exhorted: "Fu Niu'er, studying is a good thing, but you are still young, so don't tire yourself out. Listen to my mother-in-law, just play when you have to, don't be in a hurry to learn skills.
" "It's just at home . You are such a precious kid, but you have something to do, and your uncles and brothers are there... So, you can eat what you want and play if you want, you know?
"I know, aunt! " "Jiayin smiled with her big eyes bent like crescent moons, and handed over the fruit drink in her hand, "Auntie, drink it, it's very sweet. "
Zhao Yuru lowered her head and pretended to take a sip. In fact, her lips did not touch the bamboo tube at all. Then she smiled and bumped her forehead with her little niece, "It really tastes good. We Fu Niu'er are so smart. Why did we read about Quanzhou in the book? There is this magical fruit. Dig out the pulp and soak it in water. It tastes so good! Jiayin
smiled and ran to bring the fruit drink to the third uncle.
Li Laosan opened his mouth to bite the bamboo pipe, but Zhao Yuru slapped him aside and said angrily: "Adults have dirty mouths, don't touch children's things." "
Li Laosan scratched the back of his head, smiled and took a glass from the tray to his mother. Then he also took a glass, drank it in large gulps, and couldn't help but praise, "It's so cool! "
Old Mrs. Li also nodded, "It's summer, it's really cool to have a cup of this thing. Did Jiayi get back a lot of fruit? We will take a few when we go back and make a few more cups to quench the thirst of everyone in the village. There has been a shortage of water in the fields recently, so everyone has to carry water to water the melons and seedlings. It's really hard. "
"very many! Li Laosan said quickly: "Jiayi has shipped half a boat back and filled the cellar in the small courtyard. When mother goes back, she can take as much as she wants!" "
Everyone chatted a few more words, and then the school bell rang.
The students were sweating profusely in the school dormitory, and almost immediately ran to the cafeteria...
