78. Chapter 78: Agreeing to Cooperate

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly: "Alright, since you are all here, then stay."

She estimated that Zhao Dasao asked the two sisters to come together. One was because she really owed her for the medicine money, and the other was because she was afraid that Chunya would be left at home alone and suffer Zhao Wulai's abuse, so she simply let her follow her sister to come.

Jiang Wei let the two sisters into the courtyard, gave each of them a boiled egg, and said: "Take it first. We are going to town, and we won't be back for a few hours. You can find something to do in my courtyard."

Chunmiao just wanted to refuse, but was stuffed with two eggs by Jiang Wei without explanation.

The mother and daughter left, leaving the two sisters standing in place.

Chunya licked her lips, looking at the eggs in Chunmiao's hands with expectation. After all, she was young, only eight years old, and children had no resistance to food at all.

Chunmiao handed the two eggs that were still hot to Chunya, saying: "Chunya, you eat one first, and leave the remaining one for Mother."

Chunya shook her head, unable to resist the greed in her heart, and said: "If Sister doesn't eat, then I won't eat either. My share will also be left for Mother. Mother will get better quickly after eating the egg."

On the other side, the mother and daughter took the ox cart to town and went straight to Yuelai Restaurant.

After delivering the ice cream and snow cakes to the shopkeeper, Jiang Wei took out another hundred snow cakes and said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, can these hundred snow cakes be consigned here?"

"Of course." Shopkeeper Zhou agreed in one breath, "Then how much do you want to sell each for?"

"Five wen."

"Alright."

This is much cheaper than what is sold in their own restaurant.

However, the guests in their restaurant are all rich people who often come to the restaurant to eat and drink, so it's fine to sell them more expensively. I think these hundred snow cakes are specifically sold to those commoners.

Shopkeeper Zhou called the Shop Assistant and moved a table in front of the restaurant, intending to put the snow cakes on the table, but was frowned upon and stopped by Jiang Wei.

She looked up at the scorching sun above her head. These snow cakes would melt in a while under this big sun, which is not appropriate.

Thinking about it, Jiang Wei still left the only ice cabinet she had, specifically used to hold these hundred snow cakes.

There is ice in the ice cabinet for refrigeration, and there are straw and other things for heat preservation, so the snow cakes won't melt until the evening.

Soon, the old customers who often bought snow cakes at the street corner heard the news and rushed over.

"Oh my, Little Lady Jiang, have you reached a cooperation with Yuelai Restaurant? That's really great. In the future, you won't have to queue up and wait bitterly to buy snow cakes like before!"

Clearly, everyone is very satisfied with consigning the snow cakes here at Yuelai Restaurant.

Jiang Xiaoxiao once again sighed from the bottom of her heart that if only they had a shop of their own in town.

In that case, snow cakes could not only be bought from morning to night, but customers wouldn't have to worry about not being able to buy snow cakes. They could sell snow cakes in the shop while making snow cakes in the back room, without worrying about running out of stock, and money would keep coming in...

Just then, Jiang Wei suddenly said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, is Young Master Jiang here?"

"Young Master just happened to go to the County Yamen and will be back in a while." After Shopkeeper Zhou finished speaking, he asked suspiciously: "What is Little Lady Jiang looking for him for? I can help pass the message."

"I considered the cooperation he proposed before, and it can be reached. If he comes back, please help me pass the message."

As soon as Jiang Wei finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zhou's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, Little Lady Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely help you pass the message!"

Jiang Yu is his young master, and if the cooperation is reached, he will also have a share.

After explaining all the things, the mother and daughter left.

"Mother, are you really going to cooperate with Young Master Jiang?"

On the way, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "The Capital is so far from us, can snow cakes and ice cream be transported?"

"Of course, your mother won't do anything without a guarantee." Jiang Wei answered calmly.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao became even more suspicious.

Her mother's confident appearance, does she really have a way to solve the transportation problem?

To transport ice cream and snow cakes to the Capital, you must first have a large amount of ice, otherwise, things will melt halfway. Where does this large amount of ice come from?

Could it be that her mother still wants to use the land at home to dig saltpeter to make ice?

However, the biggest drawback of saltpeter ice making is that the consumption is huge, and the amount of ice making is very small, which is far from reaching the amount of ice required for transportation to the Capital.

Jiang Xiaoxiao really couldn't think of any other way to get a large amount of ice besides using saltpeter to make ice...

The mother and daughter walked all the way and soon arrived at the carpentry shop.

The five ice cabinets and some snow cake molds ordered yesterday had also been made and were placed at the door. The little apprentice of the carpentry shop owner stood there guarding them.

Seeing the mother and daughter, he hurriedly greeted them happily: "Little Lady Jiang, you finally came. The things are done, they are all here. Master has something to do and went out, and asked me to wait for you here early."

"Trouble you." Jiang Wei stepped forward and checked them one by one, found no problems, and paid the money readily.

The little apprentice smiled until his teeth were invisible, and said: "Little Lady Jiang, where is your house? These wooden boxes still have some weight, I will help you move them back."

"Thank you, no need."

As soon as Jiang Wei finished speaking, Old Man Zhao from the neighboring village drove the ox cart over, "Xiaoxiao's mother, I'm not late, am I."

"No, just in time." Jiang Wei replied with a smile, picked up the buckle of one of the ice cabinet boxes with one hand, and threw it directly onto the ox cart.

Before getting off the ox cart and rushing to Yuelai Restaurant to deliver goods, she had already agreed with Old Man Zhao that he would come to the carpentry shop to find them after he finished sending the people on the ox cart. Jiang Wei's calculation was just right.

Old Man Zhao also came down to help, saying: "I sent the people from the neighboring village and hurried over. Fortunately, it was in time. These days there is no work in the fields, and there are more people coming to town to sell firewood and eggs than before."

In the past, when it was busy farming, he couldn't carry a few people a day. Since Jiang Wei came to town to sell snow cakes every day, he had business to do every day, one wen per person, and he could earn at least seven or eight wen a day.

Especially these few days, the crops in the fields couldn't be counted on, and everyone could only come to town to sell some firewood and eggs to subsidize the family, and he could also earn more.

After all the ice cabinet boxes were moved onto the ox cart, the mother and daughter also sat on the ox cart.

Jiang Wei said: "Uncle Zhao, we are going to Tongfu Restaurant, Ten today."

Jiang Wei said seven or eight restaurants, tea houses, and wine shops in one breath, there are." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 79 =====
