Chapter 88
“It’s so amazing.” Xiao Jingting looked at the freezer in front of him and said.
Xiao Jingting originally wanted to use saltpeter to make ice drink, but now he didn’t need to worry about it at all, because it could be done by a sorcery easily in this world.
“This is a box made by the master of sorcery. In fact, after a frozen sorcery was carved on the box, as long as water was poured in, the sorcery would start to make it into ice.”
Xiao Jingting looked at the box and was impressed.
“This box can quickly freeze the prepared drinks in it,” Xu Muan said.
“You are so smart,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan looked up at Xiao Jingting and said gently, “It’s not that I’m smart, it is common sense.” Xu Muan looked meaningfully toward Xiao Jingting.
Hearing that, Xiao Jingting frowned. Although he had the memory of the original body owner, he still unconsciously thought about the world in the way of his previous life. Xiao Jingting suddenly found himself a little strange. “I’ll try to correct it.”
Xu Muan said with a smile, “It’s OK. Take your time.”
“Is the shop well decorated?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes, the shop is decorated as you ordered, and the paper cups and straws you asked are also ready. Tomorrow I’ll bring the home-made cold drinks and the business will start. But since it just starts, and there may not be much business.”
“Good wine needs no bush. Just take your time. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” Xiao Jingting patted Xu Muan on the shoulder and said.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “I understand.”
Xiao Jingting took out an identity card and handed it to Xu Muan, “With this identity card, you can mobilize several servants of the Xiao family. Take it.”
“OK, tomorrow I’ll call Xiaofan and Xiaodong to go together,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Well, these two little devils should be able to help us anyway.”
“There are a lot of things this time. Fire Cloud Bird should not be able to carry it. The second brother said that the Xiao family has a special Jioma carriage for grain delivery, which can be borrowed free of charge,” Xu Muan said.
“That will be great!” Xiao Jingting said. He liked free things best.
Xu Muan left early in the morning with two little guys and a cart of things. Xiao Jingting couldn’t help feeling a void in his heart.
…………
Xu Muan put the prepared drinks in the shop and was ready to start business.
Xu Muan originally thought that the business would not be good when it just started. Unexpectedly, the business was quite good.
After knowing that it was Xiao Jingting’s shop, some servants of the Xiao family came to buy things specially, and the friends of Xiao Jingting also came to join in the fun.
The price of drinks in the shop was one tael of silver per cup, and Xu Muan thought it was a little expensive. However, Xiao Jingting thought they should highlight its high quality, so he insisted on this price. Xu Muan felt that Xiao Jingting insisted on this price not because of showing high-end drinks, but because of the convenience of accounting.
There were many rich people in Desert City. Although the price of drinks was somewhat high, there were still many buyers.
Xiao Xiaodong stood on a small stool and was responsible for collecting money in front of the counter.
Xiao Xiaofan stood aside and was responsible for delivering drinks.
According to the needs of customers, Xu Muan made drinks and delivered them to the counter.
Before sunset, the prepared cold drinks were sold out. Xu Muan went home early with two little boys.
“All the drinks were sold out?” Xiao Jingting asked in surprise.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes!” Because it was a trial sale, Xiao Jingting only made 400 copies and sold out soon.
“There are many rich people in big cities.” Xu Muan said with a smile. In a small town, no one would like to buy such expensive drinks. However, people here were willing to buy drinks for children.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! All sold out. Amazing.”
“We sold 400 copies today. If we can sell the same copies every day, we will get 12,000 taels in one month,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting was full of excitement and said, “Today we just started to do business, maybe in a few days, our income will double or even more. Maybe the business will be better when Spirit Wine is on the market. Enough of this. Let’s prepare drinks for tomorrow.”
Xu Muan thought for a while and said, “I’ll find some people to help us. It’s not enough for you and me to do the whole work. Some simple cleaning and peeling work can be done by others only paying some salary.” However, the formula of the drinks was confidential and cannot tell others.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “OK.” After working in the fields the whole day, he was almost exhausted. If he had to work overtime at night, he couldn’t stand it. “Prepare more drinks in case they’re all sold out. If we can’t sell them, we can drink them by ourselves.”
Looking at Xiao Jingting’s tired appearance, Xu Muan said in a hurry, “You’re not in a good condition. Go to bed early after dinner. I’ll find someone to help…”
“OK,” Xiao Jingting responded.
The next day, more than 600 drinks prepared by Xu Muan were sold out again. All the drinks had been sold, but Xu Muan didn’t look very well. He looked a little flabby, and suggested to Xiao Jingting that Xiao Jinfeng should take care of the shop.
Xiao Jingting secretly called Xiao Xiaodong out and asked, “Xiaodong, how was the business today?”
“Great. People who bought drinks yesterday, most of them bought more today. Today, almost the same time, drinks were sold out. Xiaofan drank so much secretly that he almost wet his pants. If we prepare more tomorrow, we can sell more, I think,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xiao Jingting, “…” Almost wet his pants!
