401 Hurry Up
Xue Yan sighed in a low voice, and then silently hung the rope from a small wooden box around his neck. He held the wooden box of popsicles with both hands.
However, he wouldn’t be able to hold Jiang Yue’s hand like this.
Xue Sifu looked at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue only shrugged her shoulders. She was only silent for a moment, then she stretched out her small hand and pulled Xue Yan’s clothes, as if to show that she would follow Xue Yan well.
Xue Sifu heaved a sigh of relief.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue didn’t look at Sifu anymore and left silently.
The lady at the neighboring stall knew that they were going to sell ice, so she wasn’t surprised and didn’t ask anything. Instead, the other stall owners nearby asked in disbelief, “Popsicles? That must be made from ice, right? Can your family produce ice? Is that true? I’ve been setting up a stall in this town for more than ten years, and I’ve never seen ice in this town during summer. Is this a trick?”
“We made ice.” Jiang Yue said unhurriedly and stopped with Xue Yan. Xue Yan slightly turned his body so that she would not grab Xue Yan’s clothes anymore. Instead, she opened the small wooden box that Xue Yan was carrying and quickly took out a popsicle from the small wooden box’s quilt. Then, she quickly covered the box with the quilt and removed the layer of oil paper on the popsicle, revealing the popsicle that was emitting a little cold air. “This is a popsicle. Our family uses ice to make food.”
No one would have believed them if she didn’t take them out. Now that she had taken it out, the truth was right in front of them, and these stall owners were stunned.
The aunt was also stunned.
“This is three coins a stick. If you want to eat it, you can buy it from my stall.” Jiang Yue was being polite. These people just didn’t believe that she could really make ice, so they didn’t have any intention of buying it.
After speaking politely, Jiang Yue held Xue Yan’s sleeve with one hand and followed him around, she held the popsicle in the other.
It could be used as a sample for people to see. Having a sample was more effective than saying hundreds or thousands of words. However, it would be a waste to let it melt, so she followed Xue Yan while eating it.
As she walked, she even called out to attract the others’ attention, “Popsicles, popsicles, sweet popsicles from Xue’s Popsicles, only three coins each.”
Xue Yan quickly glanced at Jiang Yue, thinking that she was really cute like this.
Moreover, Jiang Yue’s way of promotion was much more reliable than Wufu’s. She even mentioned how much one stick cost.
Xue Sifu heard this from the stall, and his smiling eyes looked like those of a fox. He knew that if Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were to take action, they would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
There was no ice in the town during summer. They were talking about selling popsicles, they were even holding them in their hands and eating them bit by bit. When someone sees that, especially those who were hot and thirsty, to begin with, they will immediately come over as if they couldn’t control themselves.
No one asked how they made ice and asked directly, “Is it really three coins a stick?”
“Yes.”
As soon as Jiang Yue responded, the man said anxiously, “Then quickly get me one.” As he said that, he also took out three coins.
“Alright,” he said. Jiang Yue quickly took out a popsicle from the wooden box and handed it to the man. She took the three coins and put them in her pocket.
She also had a rope around her neck, but it was a colorful rope. Under the rope hung a small square pocket that looked like a purse. There was a small blue flower embroidered on the small pocket. It was made by Hehua last night for her to make it easier to collect and put money when they sold popsicles.
