412 Ruin Their Business
“Yes,” Jiang Yue replied and came to the wooden bucket with a lid.
Xue Yan had already scooped out a bowl of iced sour plum juice for her. She only needed to walk over and serve it.
After someone finished eating and left, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to clean up the person’s bowl and chopsticks. The people in front of the line immediately rushed in and took their seats, shouting with sweat on their foreheads, “Red bean ice! I want a big bowl. It’s not easy standing under the hot sun. Give me a big bowl of liangpi too!”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t notice him before, but now they realized that he was the one that said he would come back, he really did.
“Alright!” Xue Sifu immediately responded in a loud voice. Xue Erfu and Xue Sanfu were currently chiseling and smashing the ice, and it was ready to serve. He hurriedly used a wooden spoon to scoop up a large bowl of shattered ice, then poured some sweet red beans on it.
Xue Yan brought the big bowl of ice over.
Xue Sifu mixed another big bowl of liangpi and Jiang Yue quickly brought it over.
After that, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan squatted in the water basin and started to wash the bowls, plates, chopsticks, and spoons that they had collected from the table. They were afraid that they wouldn’t have enough later, so they had to wash out the dirty ones quickly.
While they were washing, they saw the lady next door smiling and introducing the things in her stall to people.
It was obvious that someone was interested.
As for the others, most of them were lining up under the hot sun. They had nothing to do and noticed that the things at the lady’s stall were pretty interesting, so they asked.
Many of them wanted to buy it due to the reasonable price, so they did.
The lady’s business was better than ever before. It hadn’t been long, but she had already sold a lot of small trinkets, so naturally, she was in a good mood as well.
Suddenly, a pair of feet wearing silver boots came in front of them.
He didn’t need to look up to know that it was a child.
Sure enough, before they could even raise their heads, they heard the person who had come shout happily, “Shen Qing, Jiang Yue! You guys are really here today! I thought my father was lying to me!”
It was Shen Yuxuan.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked up silently and saw Shen Yuxuan carrying the small medicine box, but he was holding a popsicle in his hand and eating it with great relish.
Shen Yuxuan saw a small stool next to them and quickly took it over. He sat down next to them and spoke, “My father told me to go over and eat a popsicle. It just so happens that it’s the academy’s lunch break now, so I came out. Sheng Qing, Jiang Yue, your popsicles are really delicious. It’s so good to quench my thirst. Did you add more-”
Salt.
The last word was swallowed back into his stomach under the gazes of Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.
After a moment of silence, Xue Yan explained to Jiang Yue, “He often has taste tests for herbs. He can distinguish what kind of herb and what kind of flavor they have.”
Jiang Yue had already guessed it, so she nodded without saying anything.
Seeing Jiang Yue nod, Xue Yan whispered to Shen Yuxuan, “My family still has to do this business.”
“I know, I forgot.” Shen Yuxuan scratched his head and chuckled, a little embarrassed. He felt uncomfortable carrying the small medicine box on his back, so he placed the small medicine box on his lap. “My father always told me not to tell anyone what I taste, for fear that I would ruin their business.”
Xue Yan knew about this, so he didn’t say anything more. Instead, he directed him to another topic, “Have you had lunch?”
“No, but Sifu said he would make liangpi for me to eat.” Shen Yuxuan pointed at Xue Sifu, who was already preparing the meal. He didn’t see Xue Yan and Jiang Yue at first. There were too many people around so he saw Xue Sifu first.
