80s: After Marrying a Disabled Man, I Am Really Fragrant

Chapter 73: Trial opening of small shop

Aunt Yang, who was standing behind, couldn't help but glare at Ning Xi, "Why are you so pretentious? The well water is also ice cold."

"Okay, okay, I said, I bought a refrigerator to make ice cream and various cold drinks. If you are interested, you can come over and try it in the afternoon." After saying that, Ning Xi added, "Today is not officially open. Please try it for free.”

 “A refrigerator, that costs a lot of money!”

“Is ice cream a popsicle? Only the supply and marketing cooperative in our town sells popsicles.”

Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately started asking questions.

Popsicles are ice-cold and cool and are a must-have item for relieving the heat in summer. Even if a refrigerator is too expensive and you may not be able to buy one if you have money, the only place that sells popsicles in their town is the supply and marketing cooperative. The popsicles sold are very valuable, Xiaoxiao One stick costs 5 cents.

Ning Xi also smiled and explained, “Ice cream is similar to popsicles, but there are some differences. The ice cream is softer and the taste is different.

 Someone immediately asked, “Can I really taste it for free?”

 Zhang Ying laughed at the side and said, "Ouch! When did we deceive everyone and say that free tasting is free tasting."

"But each person can only receive it once! It costs money to make ice cream, and I don't dare to give it away endlessly. What would Aunt Yang want today?" Seeing Aunt Yang walking up to her, Ning Xi immediately asked with a smile. One sentence.

 “Give me half a pound of spicy strips.”

“Great!” Ning Xi immediately started to prepare the spicy noodles for Aunt Yang. “Aunt Yang, bring the two boys from home over here this afternoon to try it. I guarantee they will like it.”

Aunt Yang smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Ning Xi continued to smile and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell everyone. Ning Meizi's small shop will officially open tomorrow, and all my dried fish and spicy strips will be packed in bags."

Someone asked aloud, "What's the difference between the bagged one and the current one?"

 Zhang Ying immediately answered, “Bag packaging is more hygienic and can be stored for a longer period of time. There is no need to weigh it. You can take as many bags as you want.”

Ning smiled and added, "I have written the production time and shelf life on the bagged ones. If you buy them, you can eat them as long as the shelf life has not expired."

 Someone said again, “That is indeed much more convenient, but will the price increase?”

 “It’s still the same price as before.”

 After this wave of customers left, Ning Xi opened the shop and started making preparations. Ice cream only requires eggs, milk, and sugar. She can make different flavors of ice cream by adding her own fruit sauce.

Making ice cream is very simple, but boiling the fruit jam is time-consuming, and whipping up the ice cream is a waste of time. This task is directly left to Lu He.

Fruit tea is simpler. Make a bucket of tea first, then add ice cubes, various fruits and homemade syrup when making it.

Ning Xi brought the ice powder seeds back from the city. When the spice supplier came to deliver the goods a few days ago, she showed the ice powder seeds to the supplier, and the supplier agreed to help her supply the ice powder seeds.

 Iced sour plum soup is made with some modifications based on the recipe in the medical book. It tastes sour and sweet and can relieve summer heat.

I went home for lunch at noon and took a nap for a while. When I came out, there were already several aunts standing in front of the store. Almost every aunt came out with her own children. It was quite sunny outside and everyone hid under a big tree at the door. His face was red from the sun and he was sweating profusely.

Lu He twitched his mouth, "This is too positive."

 Zhang Ying muttered in a low voice, "It's free. I'm also active."

Ning Xi just smiled and walked over quickly, "The aunts are here so early."

An aunt smiled and said, "No, as soon as I heard that there was ice cream available, my grandson pulled me out as soon as he put down the bowl."

Ning Xi took advantage of the situation and rubbed the little fat man's head. "You can eat ice cream, little one, but you can't eat too much. And you can't eat it immediately after eating, otherwise you will get a stomachache."

“Yeah!” The little fat man nodded vigorously and said with a flattering look on his face, “Aunt Ning, your spicy strips and dried fish are both delicious.”

Ning Xi was amused by Little Fatty, and immediately said, "You have such a sweet mouth, Aunt Ning will reward you with an extra piece of ice cream later." When the little girl next to her heard that Little Fatty could get an extra piece of ice cream, she immediately said, "Aunt Ning, what you made Not only is it delicious, but it’s also good-looking. My mom said that if she was half as good-looking as you, she wouldn’t fight with my dad every day.”

 Zhang Ying lightly flicked the girl's forehead, "Ah! Your Aunt Ning is beautiful, isn't Aunt Zhang beautiful?"

The little girl immediately said, "Aunt Zhang is also beautiful. My mother also said that Aunt Zhang and Aunt Ning can't get a tan when they stand outside in the sun every day!"

 Zhang Ying was amused and laughed out loud, "Haha! You are so sweet, Aunt Zhang will give you an extra piece of ice cream later."

As soon as the other two children heard that there was a reward for good words, they immediately came up to Ning Xi and Zhang Ying and praised them so much that they laughed, and immediately promised to give them an extra piece of ice cream later.

While several people were chatting, Lu He had already opened the door of the shop.

“Everyone, please stop standing outside here and go in and sit down.” Ning Xi greeted them to come in.

Zhang Ying touched her fair and tender face, smiled and approached Ning Xi and whispered, "If it weren't for the mask you made, I would have been tanned. Look, my hands are several degrees darker than my face. "

Ning Xi also noticed Zhang Ying's dark hands at this time. "Didn't I give you skin care lotion?"

“There are so many expensive medicinal materials in it. I’m willing to use it on my face, but I’m reluctant to use it on my hands. Besides, it doesn’t matter if my hands are dark.”

Knowing that Zhang Ying was frugal, Ningxia smiled and said, "The mask is not expensive. You can put some on your hands when applying the mask in the future."

“You can also apply it on your hands, so I’ll try it at night.”

 The three of them also walked into the counter and got busy.

 Four children lay on the counter and looked into the counter curiously.

“Aunt Ning, is that the refrigerator?”

 “Why is that refrigerator screaming?”

 “Is it cool in the refrigerator?”

 “Why is it called a refrigerator?”

“Aunt Zhang, when will we have ice cream?”

Lu He smiled and pinched the little chubby little face, "Call Uncle Lu and I will get you ice cream right away."

 “Uncle Lu.” The four children almost shouted “Uncle Lu” in unison.

“Be good, wait.” Lu He took out the lunch box from the refrigerator. The ice cream inside was not very frozen. He picked up a homemade wooden spoon and dug out the ice cream from the lunch box.

This wooden spoon was made as a ball scoop according to Ning Xi's request. The scooped out ice cream turned into a round sphere. When Lu He was making the ball scoop, why bother with a small spoon if it wasn't worth a few dollars? It's a waste of time to do it yourself, and it's so deep. Who can use a spoon to go so deep like this?

When the ice cream was dug into a small ball in his hand, Lu He was also stunned, and finally understood the beauty of this thing.

This wave of operations made the four children widen their eyes, open their mouths and exclaim "Wow!"

"It looks good!" Lu He put the dug-out round ice cream ball into a glass bowl, then took out another flavor, dug out one, put it in and put it on the counter. "Come one by one, today it was originally for each child I’ll give you two **** of ice cream, and Aunt Ning and Aunt Zhang will each give you one, so you can get three **** of ice cream.”

When her grandson got the ice cream, my aunt immediately said to the side, "Why don't you thank Uncle Lu quickly?"

"Thank you, Uncle Lu." After saying thank you, Xiaopangdun immediately sat down on the table aside with the ice cream and picked up a small spoon to eat. "Sweet, so iced, wow! It's delicious."
