At this time, the servants of the Chang family also brought melon and fruit snacks.
Together with the ice snacks Zhu Yunxi brought today, the pavilion was decorated with exquisite decorations.
Everyone present took their seats.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the ice food placed in front of him by the servants of the Chang family and smiled slightly: "That's what it's for."
Chang Jizu's face showed confusion: "Is this ice food?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded, and then recounted his plan again.
When Zhu Yunxi revealed the entire plan, Chang Jizu patted the table without thinking and said: "According to what you said, although the Chang family is not rich, a few shops can still clear the space for you. The Chang family has nothing to lose. If you don’t take it, whether you want people or things, I will make the decision!”
As the founding father of the country, Chang Sheng is now the head of the Chang family. Things in the family are not all-encompassing.
However, Chang Jizu and the other three generations have grown up, and the affairs of the family have gradually been handed over to them, leading the stewards in the house to handle them.
Chang Jizu is the eldest of the younger generation of the Chang family. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can make the decisions.
Zhu Yunxi immediately raised the tea cup in front of him and held it up with both hands: "In this way, Yunxi will thank my cousin in advance!"
Chang Jizu responded with a smile, and when he turned around, he showed the frivolity of a young man, with a face full of ambiguity and teasing: "Thank you, we are all a family. As long as you get married later, you will be with me on the wedding day." A few bottles of wine will be enough."
Before Zhu Yunxi could react, the eldest sister of the Chang family was already quite annoyed and said: "Brother, are you trying to get Yunxi drunk? Then how can he have a bridal chamber..."
Only after talking about it later did the eldest sister of the Chang family react. For a moment, she rolled her eyes at Chang Jizu in anger and annoyance, lowered her head and turned sideways, and kept stamping her feet.
…
A few more days.
Yingtian City is getting hotter and hotter, and it has officially entered midsummer.
There have been no major events in the DPRK recently, except for reports from the Northern Expeditionary Army coming from the north from time to time, but it seems that the Ming Dynasty is at peace.
During this period, only the emperor issued an order to reprimand the King of Qin Zhu Ping and ordered him to return to Beijing immediately to report on his duties, which caused some slander in the court.
Another thing is that the emperor has made a decision that Crown Prince Zhu Biao will leave the capital in the next ten days to inspect Guanzhong. There is no discussion in the court about how many secrets there are, but there is always some secrets behind closed doors in private. Fragments and speculations came out.
Everyone has their own opinions, but no one really knows why the prince, who has been in charge of the center for many years, went to Guanzhong this time.
It is said that the Ming Dynasty will move its capital.
It is also said that the prince went to appease the people of the Qin vassal land.
Some people also say that this is to review the border armies.
It's just that now the person above him is Emperor Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, no one can really guess what this emperor was thinking.
Among these things, a small and unnoticed incident aroused heated discussion and expectations among the people in Yingtian City.
Rumor has it that His Highness Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor and Prince of Huaiyou County, has come up with novel ice food.
The novelty of this is that it is incomparable to what is now given to the ministers of the third rank and above in the court every day.
However, in order to embody benevolent governance and enjoy the reform of the people, the clan took out the novel iced food and sold it to the outside world, and anyone could buy it and enjoy it.
It's just that the common people know that such things must be valuable.
But in addition to these, Prince Huaiyou will also sell ordinary iced food. This is the principle of having fun with the people.
For a time, it attracted the attention of people all over the city, and they were all looking forward to the news about several shops.
Stay until one day.
The sky is clear, cloudless, and the sun is shining brightly.
Chang's store, located at the junction of Dongcheng and Zhongcheng, had countless people and servants dressed in unusual clothes gathered quietly outside.
Several Chang family clerks blocked the entrance of the store, constantly offering kind words and warning loudly. Only then did they stop the crowd from rushing into the store.
The shopkeeper of this store was standing on the steps, sweating profusely, looking eagerly in the direction of the imperial city from time to time.
The weather is already hot now, and people are crowded together, so the crowd is gradually becoming impatient.
"I'm telling you, shopkeeper of the Chang family, when will the imperial ice jade jelly be available? My master's seventh wife, Mrs. Ru, is already waiting!"
"Yes, yes! My three little ladies are waiting too!"
"Shopkeeper, if you don't let us in, we will rush in and get it ourselves."
"Hurry up, I can't afford the ice jade jelly named after His Majesty's imperial writing, but we can always buy some of the ordinary ice food to take home and give the children at home something fresh to try."
"..."
The crowd became noisy.
The shopkeeper of the Chang family became even more anxious and angry, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone! Everyone! What I say is always correct. If I say that I am selling the ice jade jelly named after His Majesty's imperial pen, I will sell it today." Today I will tell you all to buy them and take them home!"
"Then if you don't take it out, we won't believe it!"
"Ah! Yes, yes! Me too!"
"Stop talking anymore, take it out quickly!"
"..."
The crowd was getting out of control.
The shopkeeper of the Chang family was almost dripping with sweat and couldn't help but look towards the direction of the imperial city.
finally!
A carriage drove slowly towards the shop.
The Chang family shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he pointed at the carriage and shouted: "See, it's coming, it's coming! Give way, give way, if it overturns, everyone will not be able to eat!"
When he shouted like this, everyone turned their attention and confirmed that the delivery carriage was coming, and voices began to be heard from the crowd.
"Give it all, give it! If my little ladies don't end up eating ice cream, I'll make you look good!"
"The one in front gives way."
After a long effort, the carriage finally arrived at the edge of the store and squeezed through the backyard gate.
In a short while, the front half of Chang's shop was covered with baskets of ice cubes, and then various kinds of iced food were piled on top.
In the innermost place, which is also the most eye-catching place, there is a sign with the words "Imperial Ice Jade Jelly" written on it, and it is also standing on the ice pile.
"That smoothie is a penny, so it's quite cheap."
“Ice cream costs ten cents a piece, so it’s not an exaggeration to try it once in a while.”
"This ice jade jelly..."
"I want a silver tattoo!"
The common people who crowded into Chang's shop did not buy it, but started talking about the well-known ice jade jelly.
After seeing the selling price, there was a burst of exclamation.
"With this price, I'm afraid I won't be able to take a bite in my lifetime..."
"Sure enough, something that can be given a name by His Majesty's pen is so unusual."
Ordinary people couldn't help but sigh, with longing looks on their faces, probably imagining how happy the children at home would be if they could buy this ice jade jelly and take it home.
I don’t know which house manager it is, but he said arrogantly: "This is something you can’t afford. It’s useless to look at it. Don’t delay us. If you don’t go over there, the smoothies over there cost a penny." It’s going to be sold out…”
As he spoke, the steward grunted twice and took out a wallet.
"Shopkeeper, here are one hundred guan of treasure notes. Give me one hundred servings of ice jade jelly!"
