Ice cream is all the rage. Whether it’s the strawberry flavor in the east of the city or the taro flavor in the west of the city, they’re all in short supply.
How wonderful it is to have a cool ice cream in the hot summer.

  This ice cream is different from Sushan. You don't need a bowl or sit down. You can buy it and take it with you at any time. You can hold an egg tray and eat it while walking on the street. It is not restricted by the place at all.

  Its popularity is even greater than last year's chocolate.

  But ice cream was much cheaper than chocolate, costing only three cents per stick, the same price as egg tarts. Ordinary people could afford it, and children would each hold one and lick it with such relish.

  Tang Yue has been working overtime to produce many more boxes. In addition to strawberry and taro flavors, she has also made original, matcha, Oreo and other flavors, but the market is still in short supply.

  Ice cream quickly became the most popular dessert in Chang'an City.

  In the past, whatever styles of clothing, jewelry, and makeup were popular in the palace, people in Chang'an would start to imitate them, and then they would become popular. But now it's the other way around. After desserts became popular in Chang'an, they slowly spread to the palace.

  "I heard that nowadays people eat a kind of dessert called ice cream. It is cool, fragrant and sweet. It is delicious and can relieve the heat. It is a must-have in summer. Unfortunately, there is no such thing in the palace."

  In the Penglai Palace, the concubines who were supposed to visit their husbands every morning and evening gathered again to discuss the most popular ice cream outside the palace.

  "Can desserts be made cold? Are you talking about the Su Shan?"

  "It's not Sushan. It's much better than Sushan. I heard that ice cream is only three cents a stick. It's cheap, but very delicious."

  "Yes, ice cream is the hottest thing in Chang'an right now. I really want to try what it tastes like."

  "If you want to eat desserts outside the palace, why don't you ask the Queen? The Crown Princess lives in the East Palace anyway, so it's much more convenient for her to buy desserts outside the palace than for us."

  The discussion was endless. When the queen came out, she heard it clearly and asked with a smile: "What desserts are you craving for now, sisters? Tell me about it."

  A sweet-talking beauty smiled and said, "Reporting to Her Majesty, what other desserts can we crave? Of course, the most popular ice cream outside the palace."

  The Queen naturally knew this. Even she had not expected that a dessert shop could be so popular in Chang'an City. The poor Huo family originally thought that their opponent was a weak and reliable small vendor, but they hit a wall.

  She deliberately smiled and asked Concubine Huo: "Concubine, have you heard of that ice cream?"

  Imperial Concubine Huo has been having a rough time recently, so she lazily said, "Of course I've heard of it, but so what? Did the Crown Princess give ice cream to the Queen again?"

  The queen couldn't help but smile: "Of course."

  The Imperial Concubine hated it the most when the Crown Princess sent desserts to the palace. Once desserts were sent to the Queen, the concubines would be as attentive to her as lapdogs, thinking that she, the Imperial Concubine, was invisible. She deliberately said in a sarcastic tone, "Desserts that cost less than a hundred coins can always make the Queen happy. The Crown Princess is really trying to save money by pleasing her mother-in-law."
