I Became Rich after selling Desserts in Ancient Time

Green Plum Green Tea

　　"Hahaha, what a refreshing drink! Miss Tang not only makes great desserts, but her drinks are also unique." Fang Heng couldn't help but praise, "After I finished a bowl of the drink, I felt so refreshed, as if I were in a plum forest."

　　Not only was he a chatterbox, he also had a loud voice, and his voice could be heard several feet away. Many stall owners and passers-by around heard it and looked at Tang Yue's new drink curiously.

　　"As long as Mr. Fang finds it good to drink, that's all." Tang Yue also likes this green plum tea. After eating snacks, she drinks a sip to relieve the greasiness, which is very effective.

　　Fang Heng didn't drink enough from the first bowl, so he asked for another one. After all, one bowl was only two cents, and he was well paid as a servant in the Pei family, so he could afford to buy eight or ten bowls.

　　Poor Pei Langjun had no new food to eat today, but his men were drinking to their heart's content outside.

　　If Fang Heng had brought a water bag, he would definitely have packed one back and placed it in the ice cellar at Pei Mansion, but unfortunately he didn't bring it.

　　He sighed and said, "Ms. Tang, it's hot, but your green plum tea is so cool. How did you do that?"

　　How did you do that? Just out of the fridge.

　　Tang Yue couldn't say that, so she just said, "I chilled it in the well water before I came here. I fished it out in the morning, put the whole pottery jar in a basket, and covered it with a thick cloth. The cool air will stay in the basket for a long time."

　　In the past, there were no freezers in the summer, and people selling popsicles on the streets did this: they put the popsicles in a foam box and covered them with a thick quilt. The cool air was trapped in the box, ensuring that the popsicles would not melt for a long time.

　　"I see." Fang Heng learned his lesson. Although he came back empty-handed this time, he got a satisfying drink, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

　　Tang Yue watched Fang Heng leave, and turned around to see Cui Er Niang staring at her with a gloomy look.

　　Every time she made money, Cui Er Niang would look at her like this, full of resentment and jealousy, as if the money came from her pocket.

　　Tang Yue asked knowingly, "What's wrong, Second Mother?"

　　Cui Erniang stared at the bamboo basket on the bottom of the stall and asked suspiciously, "When did you bring drinks?"

　　Tang Yue blinked and answered, "I brought it when I came here this morning."

　　Cui Er Niang thought back and she didn't seem to hear any sound of drinks gurgling in the pottery jar on the way here, nor did she hear Tang Yue mention that she was going to sell drinks today, as if they appeared out of thin air.

　　But Tang Yue answered so confidently that she became uncertain and confused.

　　"You have some foresight." Cui Erniang looked up at the scorching sun and thought, "Will the weather continue to be hot?"

　　Before Tang Yue could answer, she was surrounded by several customers, who were other stall owners on the street: "Young lady, are you selling drinks? Give me a bowl."

　　Most of the stall owners here are people from the surrounding villages. Like Tang Yue, they have nowhere to escape the heat during the hottest time of noon. They can only drape clothes or towels over their heads to block out the sun.

　　They had a meager income and could not afford to buy a bowl of crispy mountain yogurt for five cents. It would be great if they could have a bowl of ice drink for two cents.
