Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 62 The Herbal Tea Stand
The processing was rushed, and it took two days to make the two wooden boxes that You Ran wanted.

The wooden box is a standing rectangle, [-] centimeters high, and a smaller, thinner wooden box is placed inside.

An appropriate amount of water was leisurely added to the outer layer, and a lot of saltpeter was added to the inside, and then the wooden box on the second layer was put down. After the ice solidified, the two wooden boxes would be joined together.

Then pour the boiled herbal tea into the wooden box, cover the lid, and wrap a thick layer of old clothes on the outside, so that the coldness of the herbal tea can be kept.

Two wooden boxes, one filled with chopped grass jelly, which has been filled with boiled brown sugar water.

The other is filled with herbal tea, which is brewed with various herbs, and is also the most common herbal tea in the local area, but it is an improved version of Youran, which has fairy grass and brown sugar in it, and it tastes mysteriously like some kind of red pot herbal tea.

I also prepared a table, a few benches, some bowls and chopsticks, and cleaned up bamboo tubes, plus a basket containing some steamed red beans and fried, peeled and ground peanuts.

After getting things ready, because the time is not too rushed, the hottest time of the day is noon, and it is also a good time to sell these iced drinks, so they don't need to hurry before dawn.

But for a good location, you have to be in town before the sun comes out.

Lin Li, the youngest son of Uncle Lin's family, was driving the cart today, also known as stinky egg, but because the things were too heavy, he was worried that the cattle would not be able to bear them, so he drove the cart on foot, while Youran and Liu Shi followed the cart sideways.

The three of them were a little excited, and they didn't know if they could get a good price today. They chatted and arrived in the town soon.

Today happened to be the market day too, there were quite a few people, and the streets were bustling with noise.

Lin Li found a place very cleverly. Except for the fixed stalls in the town where the fee was paid, all the mobile vendors in the market day had to be robbed.

No, Lin Li moved quickly, and first occupied a nice booth under the shade of a tree. A man over there blushed angrily, and took a vicious look at this side, and then went to the opposite side.

"Bah, if you can't grab a seat and still look at people like this, a big man is smaller than a woman!" Liu Shi spat and cursed.

"There are many people like this, let's ignore him." Lin Li persuaded.

Afterwards, the three of them hurried away, Lin Li unloaded the table and the long wooden benches and set them up, and Youran inserted the flag with cool characters in the gap between the ox cart and the wheel and stood it up.

The two wooden boxes will not be unloaded, just scoop them up in a while.

At this moment, business suddenly came to the door.

"Brother, here is a bowl of tea." A woman licked her dry lips and shouted.

It was an extremely hot day, the temperature had already risen before the sun came out, she walked all the way from the village, her mouth was dry, she just passed by a tea stall, but she didn't go in to save a penny, I only regretted it when I got to the town, but now that I'm here, I'm afraid a bowl of bean curd costs two or three renminbi.

Just when she was feeling remorseful, she saw the word tea in the crowd not far away. She recognized this word, and there was such a word in most tea stalls.

So she was so excited, she came here amidst the crowd.

The leisurely on the side immediately reacted, took the bamboo tube handed over by Liu Shi with a happy face, opened the wooden cover, there was already a trace of air-conditioning inside, stirred the herbal tea, scooped up a bamboo tube, and handed it to There are many.

"Auntie, your herbal tea." Lin Li sent it over with a smile on his face.

After the woman took the herbal tea, she couldn't wait to take a sip, but this sip made her drink differently. The cold tea passed down her throat, making her feel refreshed, and the heat was relieved by half. .

"You... what kind of tea do you have?" The woman asked nervously and raised her voice.

It also attracted the sideways glances of passers-by, seeing that something seemed to have happened, and people with good intentions gathered together to watch the excitement.

The leisurely three looked at the woman's relaxed expression after drinking the herbal tea, but suddenly her expression changed to panic, which made them very puzzled.

"Auntie, we are making herbal tea with various herbs, adding some sugar and chilling it." Leisurely explained truthfully with a smile.

She is not afraid that something will happen to this thing, she has tasted these things herself, Uncle Lin's family and Shen Xia have also drank them, and there is no discomfort.

Moreover, it not only tastes good, but it is also very irritating. Uncle Lin got angry and had a sore throat that day, but he felt better the next day after drinking it, which shows its efficacy.

But when the woman heard what You Ran said, she immediately slapped her thigh and cried, "My God! How can I afford this!!" It's sugar and ice, how much does it cost? .

Passers-by began to point and point here, some said that the store should not have told the woman the price in advance, and some said that the woman had no brains and dared to buy things without asking the price.

At this time, the man selling candy cubes on the opposite side suddenly said: "It sounds nice, and it's herbal medicine, sugar, and ice. I don't think there may be any."

People suddenly heard this sentence, and those who watched the excitement started to boo, saying, "Don't sell that material for that money."

Liu's delicate face flushed red with anger, and she hurriedly grabbed her.

"How do you talk?! You have never drank our herbal tea. I don't know how much effort we have put into it. How do you know if we have real ingredients??" Lin Li retorted angrily: "Don't believe what that person said, he This is revenge, because we came quickly and got this booth, he is in a hurry!"

Everyone was talking about it, but Youran grasped the point and asked the woman: "Auntie, are you really unable to pay a penny?"

The woman was wondering whether to sneak away, but she was stunned when she was asked by You Ran: "A penny? Are you serious?"

All the spectators became quiet now, seeing the angry look of the little brother just now, he doesn't look like a fake person, if it is real, the price of the ice alone is not affordable by ordinary people. It costs a penny like ordinary tea, is it possible?

"Yes, a penny." Lei Ran said seriously: "Originally we planned to start a small business to earn a little money. Everyone's life is not easy, so why would we inexplicably raise the price to do those unscrupulous things?"

Besides, the cost does not cost a lot of money, and if it is expensive, others may not buy it, so she makes money for the large quantity, more people buy it, and it doesn't matter if the price is lower, mainly because people are more accepting.

The crowd was in an uproar, seeing the seriousness on Youran's face and Lin Liliu's angry look made them a little ashamed.

Seeing this, the woman quickly took out a penny, and after paying, she hurried away.

Seeing this, people really paid a penny for a cup of herbal tea, or those who were embarrassed, or just felt a little thirsty, also bought a cup one after another.

As a result, they were all conquered as soon as they entered the entrance, and they all started boasting again. Liu Shi and Lin Li finally smiled, and this trouble was a blessing in disguise.
