Vol V Chapter 33
On the noisy street.
There were long lines in front of every restaurant. The commoners held copper coins and waited for the restaurant to open.
"The speed at which these new steamed buns are sold is too fast. In the morning, a total of 1,500 steamed buns were brought in. In just the time for an incense stick to burn, they were all sold out.”
"That's right. I was only a little late in the morning, but the steamed buns were already sold out!”
"The weather has been hot and dry recently. I have no appetite for the food at home at all. Only this steamed bun is quite tempting.”
Under the scorching sun, the commoners lined up in long lines, chatting idly as they waited for the restaurant to open.
After a while, the waiter came out with a basket of steamed buns.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. There are 2,000 steamed buns in the afternoon. Everyone, line up and come one by one.”
"Give me five!"
"Give me five too!"
"Hurry up, your wife and daughter are waiting!”
The commoners threw the copper coins in their hands onto the table and then took the steamed buns from the waiter.
More than ten days had passed, but the new steamed buns were still extremely popular.
In the afternoon, the 2,000 steamed buns were sold out in just half an incense's time.
Those who didn't manage to buy any steamed buns sighed and prepared to head to the nearby restaurants to see if there were any leftover steamed buns.
At this moment, the waiter said loudly,"
"Don't be disappointed if you don't get any steamed buns. In order to cater to the consumers, our shop will be launching another new snack today.”
After saying that, the waiters pushed out a large wooden bucket.
The surface of the wooden barrel was wrapped in a thick quilt, making it look airtight and mysterious.
"What is this?"
The burly man asked dejectedly.
They were a step late today, and the steamed buns were already sold out. Now, they could only place their hopes on this new snack.
"Ice cream."
The waiter replied with a smile.
"Ice cream? Made of ice?" The burly man was puzzled.
"Since it's called an ice cream, it's naturally made of ice.”The waiter replied.
"Humph! You're not honest at all! Now that it was hot, where could he find ice?”
The burly man snorted coldly, clearly extremely displeased.
"It's precisely because it's hot that we launched this ice cream. We hope it can help everyone relieve the heat.”
The waiter repeated Fu Su's words word by word.
"I want to see what tricks you're playing today!”The burly man took a few steps forward and said fiercely,"If there's no ice inside, I'll break your legs!”
The waiter's body trembled and his expression was filled with fear.
To be honest, he didn't know if the ice block still existed.
Two hours ago, the ice had already been transported over.
According to the current weather, even the biggest ice would melt in two hours. Not to mention that there was a blanket on top of it, which was to promote the melting of the ice!
"That's right. We want to see how ice can be found in this weather!”
"Your restaurant doesn't know how to lie at all! Even if you have ice cubes, you shouldn't be hiding under the blanket! Wasn't he trying to melt the ice?”
"If there really is ice inside, then I'll buy five directly.”
"I'll buy ten!"
"Hahahaha!"
The commoners laughed out loud, their faces full of mockery.
The waiter sighed helplessly and opened the quilt in fear.
The moment the blanket was opened, a gust of cold air seeped out. This made the waiter's worried heart relax a little. He held the wooden bucket lid and slowly opened it.
The commoners stood on their tiptoes and stared at the wooden barrel.
"Hiss! How is this possible?"
"Ice! There really is ice!"
"Oh my God, am I still asleep? There was actually such a thing on such a hot day!”
The commoners were incomparably shocked and exclaimed loudly.
The burly man nodded in satisfaction." How much is this ice?”
"This…fifty coins." The waiter said the price with a trembling voice.
"Fifty coins! Why don't you go rob them? The price of the steamed bun was only 40 copper coins, but this ice cube was even more expensive than the steamed bun! Could this really be an illegal shop?”
"Fifty coins for a piece of ice? Do you think we are fools?”
"Let's go. Come back tomorrow morning to buy steamed buns.”
The commoners said this and prepared to leave.
Although the waiter was nervous, he still remembered Fu Su's words and said to the people,"
"The same recipe, the same taste. This ice cream and steamed bun come from the same place. Didn't you not believe it at all before you tasted the steamed buns?”
The waiter's words made the commoners who were planning to leave stop in their tracks.
The burly man said coldly as he scanned the crowd with an unfriendly gaze." The person who said that he wanted to buy five or ten yuan just now should fulfill his promise now!”
The few people who had boasted before were all embarrassed.
"I'll buy it!" A fat man took a few steps forward." Give me five!”
"Alright!"
The waiter quickly agreed and took out five pieces of ice cream from the wooden bucket and handed it over.
Fatty looked at the ice cube in his hand and felt his heart ache.
Just these five pieces of ice had cost him a total of 250 wen.
"Hurry up and eat. Tell everyone what it tastes like.”The burly man spoke again.
The fat man nodded and put the ice cream into his mouth, biting off half of it.
Boom!
The ice melted quickly as it entered his mouth.
A refreshing coolness spread throughout his body, causing the fat man's muscular body to tremble slightly.
There was an indescribable sweetness in the melted ice.
This sweetness made the fat man even happier. He seemed to have forgotten the sun above his head and the scorching sun.
Sweet!
It was too sweet!
Fragrant!
It was too fragrant!
The fat man muttered. Then, he opened his mouth and threw an entire ice cream into his mouth!
