The dog days of summer are here in a blink of an eye, and it is already the hottest time of summer.
Jia Cong's ice cream business has become even more popular.
Nearly 100,000 low-end popsicles are sold every day, and more than 20,000 servings of high-end ice cream are sold.
The ice business is also booming.
In this weather, most of the ice stored by large households has melted, so they can only buy it from outside.
The ice cubes in Jia Cong's ice cellar are also being sold continuously.
The daily net income also exceeded one thousand taels.
The money flowed into Jia Cong's pocket like running water.
Lin Daiyu looked at the daily income, which was getting more and more day by day, and her little face was filled with joy.
Although Lin Daiyu is not short of money and is not the kind of person who loves money, all the money will be hers in the future. Now she makes so much money every day and it goes into her own pocket. How can she be unhappy?
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Brother Cong, you are so awesome. No one can match you in making money. Your title as the little God of Wealth is not false at all. This summer, you can earn ten There are more than ten thousand taels of silver."
Xue Baochai said: "It's more than one hundred thousand taels. If this trend continues, two or three hundred thousand taels will be more than enough. With such a hot business, many people outside are probably jealous, that is, Brother Cong. If it had been anyone else, someone would have come to your door a long time ago." I want the recipe."
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Others also sell ice snacks, but theirs just crush the ice cubes, add some sugar and mix them. They are incomparable to ours.
Although many people are jealous, but knowing that it is my business, no one dares to make mistakes. Some time ago, I punished a group of people harshly, and this is what I want. "
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Although you are called the Little God of Wealth outside, I heard from my brother that many people outside call you Jia Yanwang. They say that there are children who are crying and crying. When it is said that Jia Yanwang is coming, the children immediately become frightened. Dare to cry."
After saying that, he made a "puff" sound and covered his mouth and laughed.
Hearing this, Lin Daiyu patted Jia Cong on the shoulder and chuckled.
"Brother Cong, you are amazing. Your title as King of Hell can actually stop a baby from crying. Oops, it's so funny to me. My sister has also heard of your title, and she got it from Brother Bao."
Jia Cong was speechless for a while. He had heard of this nickname before, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
If when this wave of children grow up, and I am in their hearts, wouldn’t I be a devil-like existence?
He smiled helplessly and said: "Someone said that to me. I know that it can stop babies from crying. I have never heard of it. Isn't it really that exaggerated?"
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Anyway, I listened to what my brother said. There shouldn't be any lies. My brother won't talk nonsense about you."
Jia Cong's eyes widened and he shouted: "Hey, King Jia Yan is here and wants to ask you if you are afraid?"
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing when they saw Jia Cong's appearance.
"Ouch! Brother Cong, you are making us laugh so hard that we are not afraid."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you are not afraid. I don't care about good or bad reputation. I'm just afraid of scaring you. That's my fault."
At this time Qingwen came in and shouted: "Sir, someone is coming from the palace. It's Eunuch Dai Quan and Dai, who is waiting for you in the lobby."
Dai Quan is here? What is this old boy doing here on such a hot day?
His Majesty should be looking for me, could something happen again?
Don't let anything big happen on this hot day, otherwise you may die from the sun if you go out in the sun.
It hasn't rained for more than half a year. The climate is very dry and the sun is scorching hot. It feels like the weather this year is hotter than in previous years.
Seeing that Jia Cong was sitting still, Xue Baochai urged: "Brother Cong, the people in the palace must not be negligent. You'd better go and have a look. I might really come to you with something."
Jia Cong said: "It's okay. Dai Quan and I have a good relationship. He won't care. I'll go and take a look."
Lin Daiyu said: "Go quickly, business is important. If you come here in such a hot day, I might really have something to ask you."
Jia Cong nodded and followed Qingwen to the lobby.
Seeing Jia Cong come in, Dai Quan smiled and said, "Ning Guogong, your life is so comfortable. It's so enviable to stay in such a cool room and count money in abundance."
Jia Cong laughed and said: "Manager Dai is joking, just making some hard-earned money. What kind of wind is it today? Manager Dai has been blown here. If anything happens, just ask someone to tell you. In this hot day, I still need you." Come here in person."
Dai Quan smiled and said: "Master has something to do, so of course we slaves can't neglect it."
Jia Cong nodded. It seemed that Emperor Longqing was really looking for him, but he didn't know why he was looking for him this time.
"What Mr. Dai said is that your Majesty's affairs are all major matters and must not be neglected. Could it be that something major happened again?"
Dai Quan said: "It's not a big deal this time. Those ice creams and ice cream you made are very popular in the capital recently, and all the ladies in the palace have heard about them. They are even more delicious than those made in the palace.
The queen found your majesty and wanted you to make a batch of ice cream for the palace to relieve the heat of the ladies in the palace. Your majesty gave this job to our family, so you came to ask Ning Guo Gong. "
So that’s what happened, it’s not a big deal.
Since His Majesty has spoken, he must give it, and ready-made things are very convenient.
I originally thought of sending a batch to Emperor Longqing, but if I eat something like this, I don't know what will happen to it.
Especially this kind of cold food, eating too much will cause stomach upset.
If there are some greedy people who just want to eat happily and don't know the moderation, and they eat up their stomachs, and then it is their own fault, it will not be beautiful.
For this reason, Jia Cong gave up the idea.
Now that Emperor Long Qing spoke on his own and Dai Quan came to his door, there was no need to worry anymore.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's just some food, let's talk about asking for words. Manager Dai said this, it's a big deal. Qingwen, prepare a thousand portions of the best ice cream, put some of each variety, and let it go in a while. Mr. Dai took him back to the palace.
I originally wanted to give some to His Majesty to try, but it’s just that eating this stuff can easily cause stomach upset, and I can’t tell if it’s bad or bad, so I gave up the idea.
Now that His Majesty has spoken, it will be different. However, the nobles in the palace must still be reminded to pay attention to moderation, so as not to really eat up their stomachs and suffer the consequences themselves. "
Dai Quan smiled and said, "Thank you, Duke Ning, but you are right to have such concerns. If something really happens in the palace, it will be no small matter. I will remind the nobles in the palace."
Jia Cong said: "Let's do this. I will send a thousand servings of ice cream to the palace every day for Your Majesty and the ladies in the palace to relieve the heat. This number should be enough. Don't be reluctant to give more. It's really too much to eat. Not good."
When Dai Quan heard this, he smiled broadly.
This Ning Guogong is so generous, one thousand copies per day, which adds up to a very scary number this summer.
"One thousand servings per day is enough. Now when we go back home, we can hand over the commission to His Majesty. What about the cost?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "As I said, do you still need money to send your Majesty some food? This should be my filial piety to Your Majesty."
Dai Quan smiled and said, "Our family will definitely convey Duke Ning Guo's wishes to His Majesty."
The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Dai Quan returned to the palace with a thousand servings of ice cream.
Emperor Longqing picked up a piece of ice cream and tasted it. It tasted really good. It was so refreshing to take a bite on this hot day.
Eating ice cream, I felt a sense of emotion in my heart.
Jia Cong is really not doing his job properly. He doesn't work well as an official. He just likes to think about these weird things.
I don’t know how this guy’s brain grew.
Each of these things that he tinkered with has a great effect. He is really a talent.
Dai Quan told Emperor Longqing what Jia Cong said again.
The smile on Emperor Longqing's face became even wider, and he bluntly said that Jia Cong had a filial piety.
"Dai Quan, send some to the Emperor to try, and leave the rest to the Queen."
Dai Quan said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now."
After thinking about it, Jia Cong is a very interesting guy, and he can't be called stingy anymore.
"Dai Quan, passing on the edict, Lord Jia Cong of the State of Ning, who is loyal to the country, loyal, filial, and righteous. I am deeply comforted. As a special gift, I will give you two hundred pieces of palace brocade, two hundred pieces of colorful satin, a pair of Ruyi jade, and a handful of southern pearls. , as a reward.”
Dai Quan said: "Old slave obeys the order and will go to Ningguo Mansion to deliver the order soon."
······
Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu's house.
Jia Mu had the habit of taking a nap. Now she woke up and drank a cup of fragrant tea, feeling much more energetic.
At this time, she was lying on a soft couch, leaning against the pillow. Amber was holding a beauty fist to help her beat her legs. There was a high table next to the couch, with necklaces, vases, incense burners and other items on it.
Sisters such as Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Li Wan were all sitting in the room, talking to Jia Mu.
There were three ice basins placed in the house, and the slightest bit of cold air was coming out of them, making the whole house very cool.
Mother Jia said: "You sisters have been living in Dongfu for the past few days, and you are a little too happy to miss Shu. I won't let your sister-in-law call you, and you don't know how to come back to see my old lady. It's really a waste of my love for you."
Li Wan glanced at these sisters-in-law and couldn't help feeling envious.
Today, after listening to the old lady's order, I went to Dongfu to call them back. When I got there, I didn't even want to come back.
There were five or six ice basins placed in the room. After entering, I didn't feel any heat at all.
Several people gathered together, with various fruits, melon seeds, pastries, and a lot of ice cream placed next to them. They were eating ice cream, laughing and joking, making it as comfortable as they wanted.
Brother Cong was so kind to his sisters-in-law and doted on them so much that he was envious when he saw them.
When the old lady told them to go back, she asked them to bring back some ice cubes.
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Looking at what the old lady said, Brother Cong asked us to help out for a few days, help with the accounts, and asked you to stay together for a few days, but you didn't go, and now you are criticizing us."
Jia Mu said, "It's not like there isn't a cashier over there, Brother Cong. There are Ping'er and the others here too. Do they still need your help? I'm just asking you to come and play for a few days. You guys still take it seriously."
Xue Baochai said: "Old lady, brother Cong's iced food and ice cube business are on the market together, and the stall is quite big. There are indeed many things going on. Although we can't be of much help there, we are still of some use. Following Brother Cong can also You can learn something.”
Mother Jia said: "Brother Cong is a kid who has a good brain and can make a lot of money by tinkering with anything. It would be a good thing if you could really learn something from him.
I heard from Feng Yatou that Brother Cong's business is very good. The shop is crowded with people and very popular. Is it true? "
Tanchun said: "Old lady, what the second sister-in-law said is right. The third brother's business is very good. On the opening day, in order to attract customers, everyone was given a free popsicle. There were so many talents that day, so I just gave away the popsicles." Tens of thousands.
Business is getting better day by day. In the past few days, one hundred thousand popsicles can be sold a day, and the money flows into the third brother's pocket like water. The title of the little god of wealth is not false at all. "
Jia Mu listened and nodded.
This little grandson of mine is really unexpected.
He has a good brain and skills. Not only can he fight, but he can also make money. Among his peers, there is really no one who can match him.
Thinking about my grandson, he is so promising and feels very proud.
Jia Mu sat up, pulled Daiyu to her side, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are engaged to Brother Cong. You live in his house, aren't you afraid of others gossiping about you?"
Lin Daiyu's face turned a little red when she heard this.
He said shyly: "I don't think anything about it. I feel the same as before. I don't think there's anything wrong at all. Brother Cong now wants me to help him manage the house, but I haven't agreed."
Seeing Lin Daiyu's embarrassed look, several people covered their mouths and laughed.
When Lin Daiyu heard the laughter, she turned around and glared at them fiercely.
Seeing this, Jia Mu couldn't help but smile.
Yu'er, this child, has become thicker and thicker as she has been with Brother Cong for a long time.
With Brother Cong supporting her, she is no longer as cautious as when she first arrived.
The young couple has such a good relationship, so I can feel relieved.
From then on, as both a granddaughter and a granddaughter-in-law, they became even closer.
Xichun said: "Old lady, my brother asked Sister Lin to bring you a gift. You will definitely like it after seeing it."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "What a good thing it is, take it out quickly and let me open my eyes."
Lin Daiyu gave an order to Zijuan, and after a while, she saw Zijuan walking over with a sandalwood box in her arms.
Lin Daiyu took it, brought it to Jia Mu, and helped her open the lid.
I saw an exquisite and clear mirror appearing in front of my eyes.
Jia Mu picked it up, put it in front of her eyes and took a picture, her own face appeared in front of her eyes.
"Hey, this mirror is so clear. It's much better than a bronze mirror. Is this the glass mirror Brother Cong said?"
