Ke Tuo suddenly realized, "No wonder they were able to sell out so many grapefruit candies."
He said excitedly: "When we get the prescription, we can also sell grapefruit candies to the teahouse."
"No!" Mrs. Min smiled greedily, "Nowadays, the grapefruit candies in the county are only twenty cents per pound. If we sell the grapefruit candies to the teahouse, we don't know how much silver the teahouse will eat! If we sell grapefruit candies, we must sell them in bulk! Let’s sell them for twenty-five cents per catty!”
Ke Dalian nodded continuously, "I went to inquire about it. I don't have to worry about selling the grapefruit candies in the county."
Ke Tuo said worriedly: "Mom, if we do this, will Boss Chen retaliate against us?"
After all, if they sell grapefruit candies, they are competing for business with Boss Chen.
"No, Boss Chen doesn't like the small business of grapefruit candy." Mr. Min explained: "The teahouse is selling a kind of sweet grapefruit water recently. It is said that a bowl costs 20 cents! People who have tasted it are still... I still remember it, and the scholars in the county even wrote poems about this grapefruit water and praised it to the sky. When we went to the teahouse, a group of people blocked the door of the teahouse in the bright sun and wanted to buy sweet grapefruit water. The waiter couldn't drive away. "
Ke Tuo couldn't believe it, "Is that sweet grapefruit water really that delicious? Why did the waiter chase them? Isn't this a door-to-door deal?"
"I don't know if it tastes good or not. A bowl costs twenty cents, and I don't know how those people in the county can get rid of it." Min said sadly: "The waiter drove people away because the teahouse didn't sell sweet grapefruit water at all. , it is said that the grapefruit water was sold out within an hour yesterday."
Ke Tuo was puzzled, "We sold out yesterday, shouldn't we prepare more today? Why not make money if we have money?"
Min said: "How do I know what those rich people are thinking? The moment your father and I stayed outside the teahouse, someone started bidding for that grapefruit water to fifty cents for a bowl! But even for a bowl, Fifty cents, the teahouse didn’t sell it, I don’t know if it’s because I really didn’t have any money to sell it or if I didn’t sell it on purpose.”
Ke Tuo's heart surged when he heard this, "It would be great if we could know how to make that sweet grapefruit water."
This sweet grapefruit water makes more money than grapefruit candy at first glance.
Min also looked greedy.
A bowl costs twenty cents, which is almost as much as someone else’s day’s wages.
Ke Da shouted, "If you think about so many things and have nothing to do, it is only serious to get the grapefruit candy recipe first."
Ke Tuo said hurriedly, "Yes, mother, go find Ke Chu and ask for the prescription!"
Min patted Ke Tuo's hand and said, "Don't worry, we'll go right away."
When they walked out of the house, they happened to see Ke Chu boiling water in the kitchen.
The two of them walked over and blocked the kitchen door. Ke Da said in a deep voice: "Ke Chu, are you determined to separate the family?"
Ke Chu put down the firewood in his hand, stood up and looked at them, "What? Are you willing to give up?"
Ke Da said in a strong tone, "You can divide it up if you want, just hand over the recipe for grapefruit candy."
A dark light flashed in Ke Chu's eyes, "It's impossible."
Min persuaded: "Ke Chu, there are too many people in the county who want to buy grapefruit candies. You two alone can't earn all the money for grapefruit candies. We are your family. Please tell us the recipe. Wouldn’t it be better for us to make money together?”
She lowered her eyes and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, "Even though we made a lot of mistakes, we raised you up anyway. Isn't the kindness plus the kindness no more than a prescription for grapefruit candy?"
Ke Chu lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, and only said: "I'll think about it."
Mrs. Min was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll wait for your news."
She pulled Ke Da back into the house, and Ke Da shook off her hand, "Why are you so polite to him?"
Min said patiently: "Ke Chu is getting more and more impatient. I finally managed to persuade him. If you anger him with your words, wouldn't I have wasted my words?"
Ke Da's expression softened, and he asked unwillingly: "What if he still doesn't give it?"
"Doesn't he care about Brother Mu the most?" Min's eyes were fierce, "If he doesn't let us have an easy time, I won't let them have an easy time either!"
After Ke Chu returned to the house, he told Brother Mu about this. Brother Mu frowned and said, "Husband, do you really want to give them the prescription?"
"This is currently the fastest and most effective way to separate us from the Ke family."
Brother Mu was unhappy, "I always feel like I'm giving them too much advantage."
Ke Chu smoothed his slightly frowning eyebrows with his fingertips, "Don't worry, even if I give it, I won't give it now."
Brother Mu looked at him doubtfully, "When will it be given?"
Ke Chu smiled, "I'll give it to you when someone in the county sells grapefruit candies."
Brother Mu suddenly realized, "There are too many people selling grapefruit candy in the county, and the prescription for grapefruit candy is no longer valuable."
He wrinkled his nose, "Will they regret it then?"
"There is no news in the village. We just need to find the right time to separate the families. After the family separation is completed, it will be useless even if they want to regret it." Ke Chu unbuttoned his clothes and asked, "Take a bath by yourself or should we take a bath together?"
Brother Mu looked at him.
Three seconds later, the old wooden door was rudely closed. Ke Chu looked at the closed door and shouted inside, "Spend more time."
There was no response from the room, and Ke Chu knew without even thinking that Brother Mu must be so embarrassed that he wanted to bury himself in the water.
As the sun was rising, the waiter sneaked into the tea house through the back door. Just as he was about to close the door, he saw Chen Le jump off the carriage, run in through the back door as if running away, and slam the back door shut.
He patted his chest in fear and asked the waiter, "You came in without anyone seeing you, right?"
"No." The waiter said with a mournful face, "Boss Chen, if Boss Ke never comes, what will happen to our teahouse? We can't stay open forever, right?"
He never thought that a bowl of sweet grapefruit water could make people in the county so crazy.
When he passed the gate just now, he saw that many people had been guarding the gate since last night, and it looked like they hadn't even returned home.
Chenle gritted his teeth and said, "Ke Chu has really tricked me this time!"
If he had known that the sweet grapefruit water was so tempting, he would never have lent the teahouse to Ke Chu.
The waiter asked again: "Then if Boss Ke comes again, will our teahouse stop borrowing it?"
"Borrow! Why not?" Chen Le narrowed his eyes, "Didn't I ask you to hire someone to build a shed yesterday?"
There are too many people who want to drink sweet grapefruit water. If he makes good use of it, he will definitely take the tea house business to a higher level.
The waiter said sadly, "The shed has been set up, and now those people are staying under the shed to enjoy the cool air."
There was a sudden commotion outside the door, and someone vaguely heard shouting, "The man selling sweet grapefruit water is here!"
Xiao Er and Chen Le looked at each other and ran to the front door to open it.
Ke Chu and Mu Geer were sitting on the bullock cart and were surrounded by people. Across the crowd, they met Chen Le's eyes, their faces full of shock and confusion.
Chenle smiled happily, "Yes! We should let them taste the bitter fruit of selling half of them and running away!"
Brother Mu was really frightened. He looked at Ke Chu, "Husband, what is going on?"
Ke Chu pinched his eyebrows and shouted unceremoniously to Chen Le, who was watching the show not far away, "Help!"
Chen Le stopped laughing and in a serious manner directed the waiter to disperse the crowd.
After Brother Mu learned about the situation from the second child, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
No matter how delicious this sweet grapefruit water is, it is just an ice drink.
He reassured the guests, "We have prepared a lot of grapefruit water today. Please queue up to buy it. Don't be crowded and come one by one."
Liu Xi was at the front of the queue and shouted: "I want two bowls!"
He asked reluctantly: "Can I take it away today?"
He was the one who just shouted that people are coming. Although he has never seen the boss's face, only this couple would put a loppa on their faces on a hot day.
Brother Mu shook his head while scooping grapefruit jam into the bowl and said, "I can do it next time."
He looked at Ke Chu and was about to talk about Yao Wanshu coming to see him yesterday when the next guest urged him, "Don't stop, I want three bowls of grapefruit water!"
Brother Mu was interrupted and his thoughts were confused.
He didn't have time to say anything and started to work.
This time they brought two jars of white sugar grapefruit jam and a small jar of honey grapefruit jam.
Honey grapefruit water is expensive, 30 yuan for a bowl.
Despite this, it was still swept away by the guests.
An hour later, Brother Mu saw that Yuzujiang was running out, but the people in line could not see the end. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Stop waiting in line, stop waiting in line, people behind you, stop waiting in line, Yuzu." The water is almost gone.”
The crowd was restless.
"Why are there none again? Didn't you say there were a lot this time?"
"I just said we shouldn't let the people in front buy too much. Those of us who come from behind don't have to buy too much!"
“Boss, I’ll add more money, and you’ll leave me a bowl.”
"I'll pay more, boss! I've been thinking about it for two days, let me take a sip."
Ke Chu glanced at the stock of grapefruit jam and said, "From now on, each person can only buy one bowl. There will be no more."
Those at the front were dissatisfied, but those at the back were satisfied.
After a quarter of an hour, the crowd dispersed reluctantly, and the grapefruit water was sold out.
When Brother Mu saw that everyone was gone, he secretly poured out the last glass of grapefruit water, lifted the ropa from Ke Chu's face and fed it to Ke Chu's mouth, "Drink quickly."
A warm current passed through Ke Chu's heart. He took a sip and pushed the grapefruit water out, "Drink."
Brother Mu drank up the rest. The cool grapefruit water dispelled the summer heat. He breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "Husband, it's terrible."
Ke Chu held his forehead and said, "I didn't expect it either."
They finished lunch in the county and drove to the rice and grain store.
Ke Chu looked at the oxcart, and Brother Mu got off the cart and went to the rice and grain store to buy sugar.
There wasn't much sugar left on the shelf. He was about to buy all the sugar when he heard a clear voice in his ear, "Shopkeeper, I want all this sugar."
Brother Mu was stunned for a moment, but when he turned around, he saw a woman's mouth slightly raised and her eyes glaring at Bai Tang.
The shopkeeper glanced at Brother Mu in confusion.
He knew Brother Mu, after all, ordinary people wouldn't come here to buy so much sugar every two days.
He also bought grapefruit candies from Brother Mu, and guessed that Brother Mu wanted to buy the remaining sugar, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway and cut off the sugar.
Brother Mu wanted to pry and asked, "Sister, why did you buy so much sugar?"
