411 Another Bowl
However, before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could finish, Xue Sifu interjected, “That’s good too. It’s almost noon, and there will definitely be more and more people coming around. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue can help me here. You have to slow down on eating the popsicles though. Only eat one when it’s hot. We have more than plenty to eat at home.”
“I know, I know.” Xue Wufu quickly carried a small wooden box of popsicles on his back and answered half-heartedly, “I realized that it’s easier to sell popsicles by myself. I’m going to sell them now. Remember not to let the kids go and sell the popsicles.” Then, he bent over and said to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue happily, “Be good, I’ll be back soon.”
After he finished speaking, he jumped around like a monkey, shouting loudly, “Popsicles! Popsicles! Come get your popsicles!”
He would run around to places that had already been sold, and slow down to places that had not seen the popsicles. When he sees someone looking at him and waving to buy a stick, he immediately runs over to them.
!!
Thanks to Xue Wufu’s loud voice, not only the street where his stall was located, but the streets nearby also knew that this place sold ice.
It wasn’t even noon yet, and there were people coming over to eat ice again. When noon arrived, all four tables were filled.
Originally, these people who came to eat were worried that it would be hot once they stayed too long. They planned on eating a bowl of ice quickly before leaving. Who knew that after a mouthful of ice, it would cool them down and they would not feel that the area was hot. Many of them even added cold rice noodles or liangpi on the spot due to the improved mood.
For the first time, they felt that they had such an appetite on such a hot day.
“Erfu, don’t worry about the sour plum juice. Let Xue Yan and Jiang Yue take care of it. There’s not enough crushed ice. Help chisel a piece. Sanfu can’t handle it alone.” Xue Sifu said.
Xue Sanfu hadn’t made a sound the entire time, only breaking the ice. That was because many people came only for the ice. No matter how good he was at chiseling, he couldn’t possibly have chiseled as quickly for so many people.
“Alright!” Xue Erfu immediately agreed. His hands were very clean, but he still went to wash them before starting to chisel and smash the ice.
The people who were eating saw this and were very satisfied with the outcome.
After all, no one wanted to see the food they were eating to be made by a pair of dirty hands. The cleaner it was, the more comfortable they would be eating.
“This place is so cool!” The people at the four tables who were eating ice would occasionally let out this exclamation.
Those who were waiting in line to eat ice under the sun were not willing to leave.
Some people saw that the line was too long and were unwilling to wait, so they left. However, they didn’t leave empty-handed and bought a popsicle to take away. They were happy to have a few mouthfuls of the cold. They didn’t come in vain.
“The last time I came here to eat rice noodles, it was when the weather was hot. Now that I’m eating ice, I feel like this store has cooled down a lot. Kid, give me another bowl of rice noodles. I’m still hungry.” A regular laughed. He had already finished a bowl of rice noodles, but he had not finished the small bowl of ice.
“Alright!” Xue Sifu immediately agreed. After preparing it, he gave it to Xue Yan, who was the closest to him.
Xue Yan immediately gave it to the customer
“Give me another bowl of sour plum juice too!” Someone raised his hand and shouted.
“Alright!” Xue Sifu immediately responded in a loud voice. “Jiang Yue, sour plum juice.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yue replied. She scooped a bowl of sour plum juice and carried it over with her two hands.
“This baby girl is so likable. Hey kid, I’ll have a bowl of sour plum juice too.” Another customer saw her and greeted her with a smile.
