Chapter 49 This business can be done

Li Meier saw that Jiang was in a daze, and quickly called her again, "Mother, you haven't answered me yet, can we sell this ice cream?"

Mrs. Jiang came to her senses, pinched Li Mei'er's face angrily, "You little girl, why are you thinking about money, money, money, don't worry about this matter, mother, think about it carefully .”

Li Meier pursed her lips, a little discouraged, her body is still too young, and adults don't take any suggestions casually, if she is in her teens now, mother will definitely discuss this matter with her Boy, it's a money-making business.

Jiang Shanqing came back after striding his horse, but Li Meier was still sulking.

He walked over and asked strangely: "Didn't you agree to help you make ice cream? Why are you paying back the money owed to you?"

Li Meier found someone to confide in, so she told Jiang Shanqing about what she suggested to Jiang just now.

"Brother Shanqing, do you think I should be angry? This is obviously a very profitable idea, and I don't know if my mother has listened to it."

"Wait until you see it. I think my aunt is also a very shrewd person, and she probably won't let go of this opportunity to make money." Jiang Shanqing sat down beside Li Meier and said indifferently.He felt that even if he made money, it was only a small amount of money, so he didn't care too much.

"Let's not talk about this, brother Shanqing, let's make ice cream first. Just now, Nanny Lin has prepared eggs and sugar." Li Meier was talking, and then she took a pot of goat milk, ready to go with Jiang Shanqing kitchen.

Sister-in-law Qiu was alone in the kitchen at the moment, and she was preparing the family's lunch. When she saw two little guys coming in, she greeted with a smile: "Miss, Master Biao is here. I've already heated up the pot for you, and I'll be cooking soon." You can have goat milk."

"Thank you, Aunt Qiu." Li Meier thanked very sweetly, and handed the pot of goat milk to Sister Qiu.

Mrs. Qiu poured the goat's milk into the pot, and it boiled after a while, then poured it back into the basin to cool down, and then used it later.Next came Jiang Shanqing's performance. He took six eggs, weighed some brown sugar accurately, and smashed the large pieces of brown sugar with a wooden stick before mixing them with the eggs. It's almost there, just mix it with the milk just now, and put it back into the pot to heat up.

Mrs. Qiu asked curiously while helping to stir the ice cream paste: "Master Biao, how much do you need for sugar, eggs and goat milk?"

"I read it from an ancient book." Jiang Shanqing casually said.The real situation is that he has poured homemade sorbet at home before, so he probably knows the proportions of various things.

"Master Biao, you are really good. You can read and read at a young age. If you read some recipes or something from a book in the future, can you teach me?"

Sister-in-law Qiu added another word, as a cook who has been improving her skills, she is also very self-motivated.

Jiang Shanqing replied vaguely, thinking that he can't even cook, so where can I get the recipe from you.

While the two were chatting, the ice cream paste in the pot had become viscous. Jiang Shanqing saw that the liquid had already touched the wooden spoon, so he asked Aunt Qiu to stop stirring and pour the ice cream paste back into the basin .

"When it's completely cooled, put it in ice cubes overnight, and you can eat it tomorrow. If it has cream, it will be even more perfect." Jiang Shanqing clapped his hands and said in a low voice with a little regret.

"What is cream?" Li Meier asked curiously after hearing Jiang Shanqing's words.

"It can be regarded as a kind of dessert, but unfortunately I don't know how to make it." Jiang Shanqing spread his hands and said.

Li Meier was also quite sorry when she heard the words, she always felt that the "cream" Jiang Shanqing was talking about must also be delicious.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Meier didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so she went to the kitchen to look at the sorbet that was frozen yesterday, and confirmed that it was completely frozen, and then she smiled happily.

When it was almost noon, Li Meier scooped up a large bowl of ice cream and took it to Mrs. Li to show her filial piety.

When Mrs. Li saw the big bowl of ice cream, she had a complicated expression on her face. She glanced at Mrs. Lin who was not looking sideways, and snorted, "How many eggs and candies have you made my old man again?" !"

"Grandma, it's not much. I know you like this, so I made it for you. It's so hot now, so it's time to eat some ice cream to relieve the heat." Li Meier smiled cutely, showing me a very filial look.

Mrs. Li still felt a little bit sorry for her eggs and sugar, but seeing the sorbet that was still steaming white, she was very upset, but she still taught with a straight face: "Forget it this time, next time It can’t be like this anymore, it’s just eating something for entertainment, how can those good things be wasted.”

After speaking, she picked up the ice cream and ate it with relish.

Mrs. Li didn't stop for a moment, and finished the big bowl of ice cream in one go. At the end of the meal, white gas came out of her mouth.

Fearing that Mrs. Li's stomach would be ruined by eating it, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly reminded: "Mother, if you eat too much of this food, you will make your stomach hurt. You should eat less, we still have it over there."

Mrs. Li swallowed the ice cream in her mouth, but waved her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, old lady, I have a good stomach. When my family was poor, I ate all those spoiled and stinky dishes. I never made a fuss." If you have a stomachache, what are you afraid of with such a little ice cream?"

Mrs. Li said so, and Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything.

Li Meier covered her mouth and sniggered, thinking that her grandmother was duplicity, just now she was dissatisfied with making this ice cream, but now she eats more than anyone else.

When Dong Qi came back from the ethnology study, he knew that Li Meier had made ice cream, and he was very happy. He didn't eat much for lunch, and even ate two bowls of ice cream. Eat, he can continue to eat.

After everyone had lunch at Mrs. Li's place, Mrs. Jiang sent Li Meier and the others to play outside, and she discussed the ice cream business with Mrs. Li.

"Mom, I think we can give it a try. Our family is the only one with this craft, and the cost of this thing is not high. A bowl of ice cream similar to Baiweilou costs two hundred yuan a bowl. Let's even sell it for fifty yuan. It's a lot of money." Mrs. Jiang tried her best to settle the account for Mrs. Li, and let her know the profit.

Mrs. Li loves money, but she is also a very shrewd person. Hearing what my daughter-in-law said, she was also moved, but she was still a little worried that the ice cream would not be sold and would lose money, so she asked again: "This is also a good idea." Rare things, even if we only sell them for fifty cents, ordinary people can’t afford them, you said you want to sell them, but have you thought about where to sell them?”
