Chapter 400 - 400 Selling Popsicles

400 Selling Popsicles

“Since you insist,” Xue Sifu didn’t insist. He smiled, “I will gladly accept it.”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Doctor Shen kept stroking his beard and was extremely happy.

Because he had to set up a stall, he didn’t stay at Shen’s Medical Center for long. After he finished speaking, he put the things in the backyard on the ox cart and returned to the stall.

After unloading the items from the ox cart, Xue Sifu had Xue Wufu deliver the ox cart to the designated area and bring a bucket of water from the water-drawing area.

The sunshade and four tables were quickly set up.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took out a wooden bowl from the pile of things. This wooden bowl was deep and was half the height of the covered barrel. When Xue Sifu saw it, he immediately carried the covered barrel that contained the sour plum juice and put it into the wooden basin.

The diameter of the covered bucket was much smaller than that of the wooden basin, so it could be put in.

Xue Yan then opened the small wooden box that was used to store ice. Jiang Yue opened the quilt with two small hands, revealing the ice inside.

Xue Sifu quickly took out three small blocks of ice and put them into the wooden basin.

He didn’t even smash it. The ice in the small wooden basin at home looked exactly like it. It was harder to melt like this, but if it was smashed, it would melt very quickly.

Seeing that Xue Sifu was done with the ice, Jiang Yue quickly covered it with the blanket.

Xue Yan closed the wooden box again.

The ice that was not taken out could be used to keep the sour plum juice cold. When his family sends another one over, he could use the ice inside for something else.

Today, he had brought some small thick wooden boards from home. After pouring three small blocks of ice into the wooden basins, Xue Sifu quickly used these small thick wooden boards to cover the wooden basins along the edge of the barrel. This also covered the basin with an ice sheet, allowing the cold air in the basin to cool the sour plum juice as much as possible.

Because Xue Sifu had taken the ice too quickly, put it in too quickly, and covered it too quickly, no one else had the chance to see the ice.

At this moment, Xue Wufu also came back with a bucket of water.

He was sweating. As soon as he put down the water, Xue Wufu wiped his sweat.

Jiang Yue was about to open a small wooden box when she saw this. “Wufu, have a popsicle.”

“I don’t need it.” Xue Wufu quickly stopped her from opening the wooden box. “I’ll just drink some water. I just pulled this water from the well, so it’s really cool. I’ll keep the popsicles for sale. It’s so hot, there would be people who would want ice.”

It was only nine-thirty in the morning. In her original world, it would have been ten in the morning. However, because it was summer and the sun was strong, it was already very hot at this time. In fact, they could have sold ice a long time ago if they came earlier.

However, they had been setting up the stall and making preparations for their ice.

If there was a shop in town, it would be much better. There was no need to put things in and out, and everything would be at the tip of their fingertips.

Jiang Yue looked at Xue Sifu.

“We can start now.” Xue Sifu also wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Wufu, carry a small wooden box and go around peddling. Remember to tell people that our stall is here.”

“Alright!” Xue Wufu was so excited that he drank a big bowl of well water in a hurry. He carried a small wooden box, put on his straw hat, and left. Before he could even run out of the sunshade, he started to shout in a super loud voice, “Popsicles for sale! Popsicles for sale! Is there anyone who wants to eat popsicles? I have them!”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan fell silent when they compared their first time with Wufu’s first time.

Xue Sifu saw his two precious children acting like this and knew why. He tried his best not to laugh.
