Chapter 502: My heart is cold and my heart is flying!

Xiaoyue had just delivered ice cubes and milk tea ingredients. She was sweating profusely due to 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’s simply delicious.

"More than sixty pots were sold yesterday. A pot is thirty cents, which is twenty 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. It is much better than drinking tea to relieve sleepiness when you are full.

“Our lady settled the accounts the day before yesterday and sold them a month ago…”

Xiaoyue is a lively person who can't hold back her words, and she is eager to share the good news, so she becomes even more open-minded about her words.

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." Woolen cloth!"

“Hey, hey, Princess, wait a minute, I’ll 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 two and a half young men 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 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 came over before lunch to help Dazhu and others with chores, cleaning tables and chairs, washing dishes and chopsticks, and they were not lazy at all.

Then he started selling fruit drinks and milk tea with Xiaoyue in the small thatched shed in the afternoon, and occasionally ran errands to deliver them to the school building.

Whenever they had free time, they would read a Mongolian book and ask Xiaoyue or the students who came to buy fruit drinks for advice. To practice calligraphy, they would use tree branches to make a few strokes on the ground.

Who wouldn’t like such a diligent and motivated child?

So, in addition to their wages, Li Laosan gave them an extra ten cents a day as a subsidy, plus provided them with lunch and dinner.

In a blink of an eye, 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 removing 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, and left half a cup cold. Finally, she poured 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.

“Well, 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 Hundred Fruit Drink. When apples and pears come down, and the weather gets cold, you can also make fruit tea and stew rock sugar and snow pear soup. As long as you think carefully, it will taste delicious in spring, summer, autumn and winter." If there are more, business will not be bad!”

Xiao Yue was excited when she heard this, "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 private 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 put on too much flesh and is delaying her growth!"

Zhao Yuru took her little niece in her arms, waving the fan in her hand to fan her, "Mom is just greedy, our Fu Niu is so good, there is no child more considerate and smart than this! Our family is not like this We were so poor back then, what else could we lack but food and drink for our children? It’s a good thing to be able to eat, and it’s a blessing to be able to eat!”

Li Laosan also smiled naively and echoed: "Fu Niu'er hasn't grown up yet!"

"Okay, you just get used to it!" Mrs. Li couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, "I have become a bad grandma! It's the same at home, your second brother, Mr. Wen, Jinrou and even the village chief, they all look bad every time they see me I have to say, let me not be too strict with Fu Niuer.

“The child studies every day, learns rules, learns needlework, and runs to Dr. Zhang every now and then. I am afraid that she will be exhausted, but I am wronged!

“It’s really not me who forced the child to be diligent, but she suddenly enlightened herself! 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 I can also 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 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."

“You are the only one in the family who is so precious. Even if something happens, your uncle and brothers are still there...so you can eat what you want and play what you want, you know?”

"I know, Auntie!" Jiayin smiled, 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 Niuers are so smart. Why did we read about Quanzhou from the book?" This magical fruit, scoop 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: "You 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 wife. Then he also took a glass and drank a gulp. He couldn't help but praise, "It's really cool!"

Old Mrs. Li also nodded, "It's such a hot summer. It's really cool to drink a cup of this. Did Jiayi find a lot of fruit? Get a few when we go back. Then we can make a few more cups and give them to the villagers." It’s all about quenching your thirst. There’s been a shortage of water in the fields recently, and everyone has been carrying water to water the melons. It’s really hard.”

"A lot, a lot!" Li Laosan said quickly: "Jiayi brought 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 dormitory, and almost immediately ran to the cafeteria...
