Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 25 Selling Ice Cream
  At dawn the next day, Jiang Xiaoxiao climbed out of bed impatiently.

She was still thinking about the strawberry ice cream she made yesterday. She got dressed early, washed up, and looked at Jiang Wei eagerly.

But Jiang Wei only glanced at her and said calmly: "Girls can't eat cold food so early in the morning. They can eat it after noon."

Although it is a hot June day, the place where they live is backed by the foot of the mountain. When the mountain breeze blows, it is still a bit cool to stand under the shade of the trees in the early morning.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could only calm down and saw Jiang Wei hoeing the ground in the corner of the yard with a hoe.

"Mom, do you want to plant something?"

"We don't have any fields at home, so we can sell our food in the town, but there are not many people selling vegetables and fruits. I grow some vegetables at home, so it's easy to pick them when I want to eat them."

Jiang Wei said, picking out some vegetable seeds from the space.

These vegetable seeds were cultivated by her friend who had wood powers during the end of the world. Not only could they adapt to various growing environments, but they also grew quickly and had high yields.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded when he heard this. Every household in the village has fields, and one family has about twenty or thirty acres of land.

However, the grain output in ancient times was extremely low. After paying the grain tax in a year, the grain in the fields was just enough for an old snack shop. No one would use such precious fields to grow vegetables.

Usually when they want to eat vegetables, the villagers just go up the mountain to pick up some wild vegetables and bring them back to eat.

Of course, there are also some industrious farm women who will open up a piece of land in their own yards and grow vegetables for their own consumption.

"Mom, let me help you." Jiang Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said.

"Okay." Jiang Wei pointed with his chin at the beans and leeks he had just planted, "You use your powers to water them."

"it is good!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed her mother. One of them was sowing vegetable seeds and the other was responsible for watering. They were very busy.

By the time it was almost midday, the fields had been planted with various vegetable seeds. After watering, the soil was moist, and there was no sign of drought at all.

And Jiang Xiaoxiao was already so tired that he was sweating profusely and his fingers couldn't get any water out.

However, she found that every time she exhausted her powers, her powers would increase a bit the next day, and she would release more water than the previous day.

In this regard, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that no wonder her mother had to squeeze out all her powers every time. It turned out to be to train her powers!

"You're tired, let's take a rest." Jiang Wei looked at the sweaty Jiang Xiaoxiao, smiled and took out the already frozen ice cream from the space, and thoughtfully handed over a small spoon.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, he immediately took the ice cream, scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

It's sweet, cool, and has a strong milky aroma, mixed with the sour and sweet strawberry flavor...

too delicious!

It tastes almost exactly like eating it in modern times!
  Jiang Xiaoxiao was so excited that tears filled her eyes. She didn't expect that in this ancient world where material life was poor, she could still eat delicious ice cream. She was so happy...

Jiang Wei looked at her appearance and couldn't help laughing: "The ice cream is delicious, but don't be greedy, or you will ruin your stomach."

"Yeah!" Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, scooped out another big scoop of ice cream and fed it to Jiang Wei, "Mom, try it, the ice cream you made is delicious!"

Looking at the little face full of sweet smile, Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment.

She opened her mouth and took a small bite of the ice cream on the spoon, then shook her head with a sore face from the cold: "Well... you better eat it, I don't like sweets."

Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed a few times, knowing that her mother was not cold-resistant, so she ate the ice cream in the bowl alone.

When it was time to eat, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't eat anymore when the table was full of food.

Jiang Wei could only put a few sesame cakes on her body and asked her to take them to town to eat.

Yes, that's right, mother and daughter are going to town.

After the ice cream was made, it was natural to go to town to try the water first. Jiang Wei carried a small bamboo basket, which was tightly covered with cloth. There were several small porcelain bowls and a few spoons inside.

The sun was scorching above her head, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was so hot that she started sweating without even taking a few steps.

She couldn't help but look up at the cloudless sky. Why did she feel even hotter than the previous few days?

Along the way, I met many people from the village. They were all too hot, their skin was tanned, and their mouths were chapped. They didn't even have time to say hello before they rushed to the river with buckets.

The weather is hot, and more and more places use water at home. The water that usually lasts two days is not enough for one day.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced far away at the river, where many people gathered around to fetch water.

She secretly felt lucky that she had a well at home, so she didn't have to go all the way here to fetch water.

After leaving the village and seeing no one around, Jiang Wei took out an umbrella and opened it.

Under the vast shade, Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed out a long breath and came to life...

She looked up at the umbrella. It was a common oil-paper umbrella in ancient times. It had a good sunshade effect.

The mother and daughter arrived in the town, found a shady place and started setting up a stall.

Yong'an Town is also extremely hot, like a big steamer, and passers-by are rushing to several teahouses and wine shops.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took a few glances and saw that the nearby teahouses were selling soups to relieve summer heat, such as mung bean porridge, pickled plum juice, pear pulp...

It seems that the customer base is pretty good, but I’m afraid it’s hard to sell our ice cream...

Jiang Wei put out the porcelain bowls and spoons in the bamboo basket and dug a few scoops of ice cream into them.

The things they sold were strange, and soon someone came up and asked, "What are you selling? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Ice cream!" Jiang Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "Cold, refreshing and delicious ice cream!"

"Cold and refreshing? It looks delicious. How much does a bowl cost?"

Jiang Weidao: "Seven cents a bowl."

"What? Seven cents! Just such a small bowl of something costs seven cents?!" The man screamed, "The sour plum soup in the teahouse next door only costs two cents a bowl. It's too expensive for you." Bar!"

The man left without looking back.

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little disappointed: "Mom, are we selling it too expensive?"

Jiang Wei frowned and said nothing.

In fact, the raw materials for making ice cream are not cheap. They require eggs, sugar, and milk.

Eggs cost one penny a pound, sugar cost forty pennies a pound, and milk must have been valuable in this ancient world.

Although these things are available in her space, they are equivalent to no cost. But since the food is made with her own heart, she doesn't want to sell it at a low price and lose money.

"Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, we can lower the price."

The mother and daughter waited under the hot sun with umbrellas. Many people came up to ask, but they were all deterred by the price of seven cents a bowl.

Gradually, no one came forward to ask.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also became extremely disappointed from her initial expectations. She thought that in such dog days, the ice cream they made would be very popular.

The truth is so cruel.
