Chapter 172 You Drink Half

The box was ready soon, just find a cardboard box of suitable size, wrap it with sponge inside and outside, and paste the whole thing with hard paper to keep the temperature insulated.

A three-finger-wide shoulder strap is worn on the box, and the wider one is to save the shoulders.Thirty popsicles and the box weigh about ten catties.

"Sweet ~ Popsicle."

"Ice popsicles."

In Guojiapuzi, there are two more children who walk around the alleys with popsicle boxes on their backs. When other children are playing games, they keep walking with their bodies crooked and carrying boxes weighing about ten kilograms, shouting with.

They left their footprints everywhere in the four residential areas of Guojiabao, up, down, left, and right, and they have to go to one place many times a day.

It didn't take long for the two brothers to become celebrities known to adults and children in the entire Guojiabaozi.

Zhang Xinglong also stopped doing his homework. He wanted to sell popsicles, so he went home and had a meal before going to bed. He was really tired.Shoulders are red and swollen every day.

If I sell out the popsicles earlier and go home earlier, I can play with my classmates for a while before dark, but there are not many opportunities like this, and it usually takes dark to sell out, and everyone else has gone home.

Gradually, the two brothers became less intimate with their classmates and playmates.This is impossible.

The teacher also acquiesced to the two brothers not doing their homework. The factory issued a tuition-free certificate for the two brothers to go to school. They belong to extremely poor families, and everyone understands the situation.

The younger brother Zhang Xingbing is also famous.

He himself is small, standing on the ground is not as tall as a popsicle cart, and every day he guards the stall at the bus station to sell popsicles, and the people who come and go can't notice it.

Gradually, Liu Guixin's popsicle stand became popular. Some people deliberately walked a few steps to buy popsicles here, and some who didn't want to buy popsicles at first became interested when they saw a decent selling thing here.

Everyone tried their best to solve the problem and wanted to see the performance of this little bean, which was very interesting.

Fortunately, the maximum face value of money in this era is ten yuan, and it is not the main currency in circulation, the main currency is fifty cents and one yuan.Everything is cheap.

"I'm not selling it anymore, you guys line up." Zhang Xingbing stood on the bench, threw his two small arms on top of the popsicle box and shouted loudly.

There were too many people, and he couldn't remember the money handed over in a hurry.

"Hahaha." Someone laughed.

"Queue, I can't get it."

"Line in line, come, I'll buy first."

"No, he came first, you are behind."

"Well, this little guy has a really good memory. It's so rare."

"Who doesn't talk about it? Tell me how this child is raised."

"Kid, why don't you sell soda? You must buy a lot this day, and that one makes money."

"What is soda?" Zhang Xingbing quickly found money to pay for the goods, chatting with people at the same time, and it was too late to deal with the money, so he scattered it on the quilt.

"It's just sparkling water. It's sweet, with orange and pear flavors. It's delicious."

"You're lying, water, how can there be steam, blow it in?"

"Why am I lying to you? You come back and ask your adults, and they say that there are people who want to buy soda."

"Okay." Zhang Xingbing looked up at the speaker: "I'll ask my mother when she comes back. If you lie to me, you'll have to be bald, and I won't sell you in the future."

Everyone in the circle laughed.

This kind of thing may only happen in this simple age.

"Did I find the wrong one? What I gave you was two yuan."

"No, what you gave is one piece, just this one."

"You remember wrong, it's two yuan."

"You bring the popsicles, and I won't sell you. I don't want to accept your money. I don't want to take it back. It's two yuan. I won't cheat anyone."

"Haha."

"Son, can it be cheaper if I pack all your popsicles?"

"Yes, take the money."

"You didn't say how much cheaper it is, I think it's worth it."

The third child lifted a corner of the quilt to look at it, and thought for a while: "I'll give you five for free, okay? It's more than ten cents."

"Only five?"

"A box only earns more than one yuan. I gave you more than ten cents. Are you still not satisfied? Then I have to lose money?"

Liu Guixin walked back with a small box on his back, watching the people around him subconsciously quicken their pace.

"What's the matter?" Putting down the small box, Liu Guixin looked at the people around him.

"It's okay, let's buy popsicles to amuse your son. The gadgets are so attractive, your son raised them, I'm envious."

"Mom, he said what he wants, soda, soda water, sweet." The third child pointed at the man just now and shouted.

Soft drinks and popsicles are a factory, and they are also new products that have just been launched. No one in the Guo family sells them at the moment, and only a few boxes are placed in the non-staple food.It's a bit troublesome to drink this thing and return the bottle on the spot.

"Soda?" Liu Guixin knew soda, and drank a bottle when he went to get the popsicles, which was given by the workers of the popsicle factory.Back and forth, I got acquainted with the people in the popsicle factory and became friends.

"You can buy some and sell them here. It will definitely work. It's like taking the car back and forth. Get some cold water and soak it."

"Your car can't do it either. The kids are just sitting here in the sun. It's better to add a shed."

Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, everyone was rushing to make suggestions and ideas.

"Okay, I'll discuss it when my family comes back from get off work. We need to add a shed." Liu Guixin looked up, the hot sun was just like this, and the third child was covered with sweat on his forehead.

He reached out and wiped the third child's head: "Go to the grain station to cool off, I'll see for a while."

The third child looked at Liu Guixin, licked his lips, rolled his eyes and smiled: "Mom, can I have a bowl of sorrel?"

Liu Guixin also smiled: "Yes, go drink it, it's cool inside."

The third child stood up from the bench and lifted the cover of the popsicle box: "I'll take this money. This one is too useless, I don't even want to take it." He had to stand on the bench to reach inside the box.

"Mom's money is here, you, you, put it away."

A bus that looked like a big loaf came, and the people around it spread out and ran over to get on the bus.To be honest, guarding this bus station took a lot of advantages, and the two popsicle sellers looked jealous.

The third child took the one dollar to the grain station, and Liu Guixin sat down and lifted the lid of the box to count the money.

First organize the paper bills, tie them with rubber bands and put them in the bag, and then put the steel buns into the pockets according to the currency value.

"Sister Liu, here. He has to carry it over, I'm afraid he won't be able to carry it and spill it. Is it okay to sell? I saw there are quite a lot of people inside." The small high end of the grain station came over with a bowl of rice , the third child followed behind holding the change.

Liu Guixin hurriedly reached out to take it over: "It's okay. Sorry to trouble you, let's run."

"If there is any trouble, just take a few steps. Just bring the bowl over after drinking." Xiao Gao turned and went back.

"Mom, the change I gave you is all clean." The third child handed the money to Liu Guixin.

"Just drink it in that room, it's still cool, what are you doing bringing it here?" Liu Guixin took the money and handed it to Zhang Xingbing.

"Mom, drink it first, I can't finish it. I tasted it, it's a bit cold and sweet."

Liu Guixin took a sip, and his smoky voice suddenly came alive.

"Okay, mom, drink it, you can drink it. Take it to their house to drink, it's cool." The food station has a large room, only one side has windows, and the room is shaded. It's very cool in summer, but it's a bit cold in winter. .

The third child took Liu Guixin's hand and glanced into the bowl of rice syrup: "No, drink more. You drink half of it."

Liu Guixin took another big gulp of sweetness.
