Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 2099 - 2096: Selling Like Hotcakes
"An ice popsicle requires so much juice, and watermelon is quite expensive. Now, with two coins, you can just taste the flavor."
"Absolutely, buying it is worth it."
"Little brother, give me another watermelon ice popsicle..." The latecomer hurriedly raised his copper coins and said.
The vendor regretted bringing too few watermelon ice popsicles and responded with a bitter smile, "None left, would you like peach or orange ice popsicles? There’s also pear ice popsicles. Come early for watermelon ice popsicles tomorrow."
"Ah, how did it run out so quickly?"
The person who got the watermelon ice popsicle became instantly happy, "Hey, such good things naturally don’t last long. If you’re late, they’re gone."
"Little brother, when will you be selling tomorrow?"
"At the same time," the vendor replied.
"Ah, could you come before noon? It’s not really hot now, so it’s not enjoyable to eat. But every time around noon, it’s so hot that I lose my appetite for lunch."
The vendor recalled that Yonghe Food Shop mentioned you could pre-order and pick up anytime within the day, so he agreed to the suggestion.
"Alright, I’ll be here daily before noon. However, you must recognize Yonghe Food Shop’s ice popsicles for the most authentic taste. They were the original creators."
"Yes, yes, I assure you I’ll only buy from Yonghe."
"Hey, little brother, give me an orange flavor and a peach flavor." The first customer who bought a popsicle was pleasantly satisfied, and while others hesitated over the watermelon popsicle, he decided to try other flavors.
"A fair price of four copper coins."
The vendor happily handed it over.
The customer looked at the bright orange ice popsicle with curiosity, took a bite, and the sweet and sour flavor exploded in his mouth, making his eyes light up, "Hey, I like this orange flavor. The balance of sweet and sour is great, quite appetizing."
Then he tried a bite of the peach flavor and smacked his lips, "Hmm, this peach flavor is also nice, suitable for those who prefer lighter tastes. I bet my wife at home would love it." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Give me three more orange flavored, three peach flavored, and two pear flavored." The customer finished the popsicle quickly, bought eight more popsicles with sixteen wen, wrapped them in oil paper cloth, and rushed home, eager to let his family try them.
Others started mimicking his actions too.
Others began to try buying the popsicles of other flavors.
In less than two quarters of an hour, all one hundred popsicles were sold, and surprisingly, it earned fifty copper coins so quickly!
The vendor looked at the empty cotton wooden box with a sense of disbelief.
He usually also hawked goods but never earned this much this fast!
Fifty copper coins! Even the strong laborers hauling goods by the river only earn thirty or forty copper coins a day.
The vendor couldn’t keep his mouth from smiling wide, "That’s all for today, come early tomorrow. There will be sales these days."
With that, he carried the wooden box and slipped away, preparing to return the wooden box to Yonghe Food Shop.
Indeed, this wooden box required a deposit!
And similar things happened in other parts of the capital.
Ice popsicles gradually became known to the people.
But most hadn’t tasted it, only salivating as neighbors and friends talked about it, getting more curious. Unfortunately, some went to Yonghe Food Shop only to find out it was limited, just over a thousand servings today with no more extras.
Yonghe Food Shop.
With more and more vendors coming back to return the wooden boxes.
