Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 107 The Ice Shop

"You guys know me best, I just want to dig the ground these two days."

The men of the farmer are all honest. When spring comes, there is no one who is not in a hurry to work in the field. Lan Erzhuang is not polite. He put on a thinner padded jacket and went outside with his brothers. In the field, Lan Lingxue also started her cooking career again. Fortunately, it didn't take long to dig the ground, and it was finished in less than half a month. Uncle Shanzi took his family's The eldest son Changshun stayed behind.

This time I was free for a long time. Lan Lingxue spent the whole spring at home, but she practiced her handwriting almost well. She didn't dare to practice too difficult. She just bought a regular script copybook, regular script Compared with other fonts, it is still easy to learn, but the soft brush made Lan Lingxue very entangled, just in such a boring, it can be regarded as summer, Lan Lingxue immediately got busy again, in the town On the road, she opened a long-awaited Lanjia ice cream shop. In fact, at the end of spring, she had already started planning, and in her space, she secretly planted strawberries, blueberries, watermelons and Red beans and mung beans, these are what she plans to use when making ice products. The seeds of watermelon, red beans, and mung beans are easy to find, but the seeds of strawberries and blueberries took her a lot of effort, and finally gave it to her adoptive father I sent a letter and asked him to help find it in the capital. At the beginning of summer, the Lanjia ice shop had opened. Although there are not as many modern methods, but fortunately, the style of this ice product is the first time in the This era has appeared, after the crushed ice is cut, the iceberg is built, and then poured with homemade fruit sauce, of course, there are more than just a few types of fruit sauce, Lan Lingxue added many varieties, such as persimmon Cucumbers, peaches, apricots, plums, everything that can be used, and even made milk ice products similar to ice cream, Lan Lingxue was very busy.

It's just that Lan Lingxue's favorite popsicle is no longer good. Once the ice melts, it will never go back. Lan Lingxue thought, when the ice is stored next year, he will directly mix the ice water with various kinds of ice cream. Kind of fruit juice or fresh milk, frozen into small pieces, so that in summer, it can be taken out directly, but I don’t know if the small ice cubes mixed with things can be stored until summer, these I have to wait until next year to talk about ideas, and now Lan Lingxue is thinking of new ideas every day in different ways, to see how to enrich her ice types, every time her mother comes back from the county At that time, Lan Lingxue would also make some fruit sauce for her younger brother to take home, and then bring some ice, so that her mother could crush the ice for the little hoe when she returned home. It all turned into water. Even so, Lan Lingxue wrapped the ice cubes again and again, wrapped them in oil paper and wrapped them in quilts for several layers. The result was good. The little hoe was able to come and go from time to time throughout the summer. After eating my sister's new ice cream, I feel a lot less homesick.

The business in the ice shop has become more and more prosperous under Lan Lingxue's various plans. No, Li Yuan's family in the town wanted to celebrate the old man's birthday, so he came to contact the ice shop, wanting to sell it in the shop. People, go to the site to make sauce icebergs, of course the money is enough, not to mention making ice on site, even transportation, it is also a troublesome thing, if the icebergs are made in the store, it will not wait When it was transported to Li Yuan's house, it had to be turned into water, so after Lan Lingxue sent her mother away today, she didn't go with her, but went to the ice cellar to pull a few pieces of ice out, in order to go to the ice store. To deliver ice in the shop, Lan Lingxue specially bought another carriage. According to the back half of the carriage, she made a big iron box. The outside of the box was covered with a thick layer of cotton cloth to wrap the whole big iron box. It is tightly packed, and there are layers of quilts on the top and bottom. It can be regarded as a special incubator. After using it this summer, the effect of heat preservation is not bad.

The driver was Uncle Chunsheng's eldest son Tie Zi, who was only 12 years old and very skinny. He was naughty outside all day and had no business to do. After Lan Erzhuang bought the carriage at home, he asked his boy Would you like to come to drive the car, follow the car to the town every day, and get paid? Of course, Tie Zi is willing, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. Of course Chunsheng knows that this is Brother Er Zhuang taking care of his family, but Afraid that his son would be too picky and something would go wrong, he told his son to be obedient, diligent, and not to cause trouble. Who knew that since Tiezi caught up with this carriage, he has been very obedient, and he sent Lan Ling every day. Xue went to the shop, brought ice cubes with her, and brought Lan Lingxue back in the next afternoon, then polished the carriage and washed the horses. Originally, Lan Erzhuang only wanted him to drive the carriage. The horses are raised by themselves, who knows, the little guy has taken over this job, not to mention, the current Tiezi and the horse get along well, the relationship is strong, and every night when I go home, I look back every step of the way only willing to go home.

Lan Erzhuang actually didn't want his daughter to go to the shop every day, but no one had done the work of the ice shop. He had to make jams and innovate new varieties with his own daughter. He had been wondering if he could buy two more When the little girl comes back, she has signed the deed of selling herself, so she is not afraid that they will confess the prescription, so they can replace the girl, but Lan Lingxue just disagrees, saying that this thing is too new, even she In the process of groping, there is no way to teach others. When she figured it out, it would not be too late to buy someone. In fact, Lan Lingxue was reluctant to take this opportunity. After all, her mother was not at home, so she went to the shop every day. It's time to let the wind out, and at worst, it's fine for the cat to stay hidden in the back kitchen, but the scenery along the way still makes Lan Lingxue yearn for it very much, and she is reluctant to give up no matter what.

"When you go to Yuan Li's house, you have to be careful, just do your own work well, don't worry about miscellaneous things, don't listen to other people's gossip, and come back immediately after finishing the iceberg, do you hear me?"

When they arrived at the ice shop, Lan Lingxue instructed the shop assistants to discipline themselves. After all, those who can be present today are all dignitaries in the town, and they must not cause trouble for the shop.
"Understood, miss, we will be careful."

"Brother Zhuzi, you have to keep an eye on me. Go and come back properly. Don't meddle in other people's business and cause trouble."

He brought Xiao Zhuzi over again, and gave instructions. Lan Lingxue couldn't follow to the banquet by herself, so she let Xiao Zhuzi lead the way. She was actually quite at ease with Xiao Zhuzi. The shop is managed by small pillars. Every ten days, he will hand over the ledger to himself. There is nothing wrong with it. Looking at it now, his ability is not bad. Although he is a bit conservative, he dare not do something bold. But this is in this age after all, and he was promoted from a young boy, so it is understandable that his thinking is a bit stubborn. The important thing is that his progress is obvious. This is what makes Lan Lingxue most gratified It's really not easy to find a better deputy. She is willing to give him more opportunities, but it's the first time that Lan Lingxue went to make ice for others, and Lan Lingxue was really worried, because she couldn't show up in person It's a small matter to make money, don't interfere with other people's banquets, it's true.

"Don't worry, miss, I guarantee that it will be done properly for you. You have trained our family members yourself, so why don't you worry about it?"

Lan Lingxue sneered, waved her hand,
"As long as you can talk, let's go, go and come back early, so that I won't worry about it."

I don't know when I became the eldest lady. When this title was first called, Lan Lingxue tried her best to correct it several times, but in the end she couldn't change it. Lan Lingxue had to let it go, but every time she heard it She always felt that she had become a capitalist, like a vampire who specialized in exploiting people. Anyway, it was a bit awkward.

"Let's start working too—"

After seeing off the people who were going to Yuan Li's house, Lan Lingxue turned around and went back to the shop, directed the rest of the shop to start today's work,
"Manpower is tight today, everyone work harder, and your hands and feet are quicker. I invite everyone to have some snacks in the evening."

Because three people were sent to Li Yuanwai's house, only the shopkeeper and one assistant were left in the shop, plus Lan Lingxue and Tie Zi. Tie Zi was still a novice, so he was really too busy. All the respectable people went to Li Yuanwai's house. The people who lined up outside the shop were all talkative. Although the four of them were very busy, they managed to get the day going. Lan Lingxue rubbed her waist, It's a bit tiring to do it by myself for a day, but looking at the income in the book for the day, it's not worse than usual, and she feels that it's worth it to be tired.

"Tiezi, if you get tired, send this box of icebergs to the pastry shop, and bring back three catties of pastries."

There are rewards and punishments to be motivated. Seeing Tie Zi running out of the tightly wrapped iceberg box, he couldn't help shouting,
"Be careful, don't fall, and don't hit anyone."

"Understood, Miss."

people have run away,

"This stinky boy."

Even Tie Zi began to call himself Miss. It seems that this title cannot be changed. Lan Lingxue is really helpless. I can only see how serious the concept of class is in this era.

"Miss, Manager Li is back."

The guy who was fixing the door panel saw that Xiaozhuzi led the two guys back, and hurriedly reported to Lan Lingxue, his voice was so loud that his ears were deafened, by the way, I forgot to mention that Xiaozhuzi's name is Li Shuanzhu, The shop now calls him Manager Li, and Lan Lingxue also supports it. With a professional title, he can be justified and get twice the result with half the effort.
"Keep your voice down, it's not that the eldest lady can't hear you, she doesn't follow the rules at all."

The shopkeeper glared at the boy, and the boy froze, but Lan Lingxue laughed heartily.

"Don't worry about them. They are young and lively. As long as the shop is well-run, you don't have to care too much about these details."

"Missy said yes."

The shopkeeper replied respectfully, it was so respectful, Lan Lingxue had nothing to say, thinking that it was impossible in this age to get along with the subordinates like in modern times.

"Miss, we are back."
