"Don't ask about your hot pot restaurant business. The hot pot restaurant business has never been bad. But in summer, there may be fewer people coming."

"You have ice cubes and watermelon. I don't even want to leave the hot pot restaurant!"

Fang Peilan commented pertinently after eating a piece of watermelon.

If we do this, wouldn't a hot pot restaurant be like an ice room in the hot summer weather?

Who is passing by and doesn’t want to go in and have a seat?

You must know that only rich people can use ice in the hot summer.

Other ordinary people, even if they store a few large buckets of ice in their cellars in winter, it will quickly turn into water.

The south is no better than the north. The temperature rises very quickly and is very humid. Ordinary cellars cannot retain ice.

Song Youcai took another watermelon and started eating it: "If you ask me, this melon can be sold by itself!"

"But after selling this crop, I'm afraid the price won't be as high next year."

The seeds of this watermelon are in the pulp.

If someone buys melons and collects the seeds to cultivate them, they might accidentally stumble upon them and learn something.

Song Nan naturally knew this truth, but what she cared about was not watermelon, but ice.

She pointedly said: "Everyone can eat watermelon, but this ice is different."

"You mean selling ice?"

Fang Peilan understood immediately.

My daughter wants to come up with ways to make ice!

When she arrived in Lanyang last year, Song Nan had already tried using saltpeter to make ice.But the foundation was unstable at that time, and the treasures could easily be bitten by evil wolves.

Now that he was in Fucheng, and the magistrate was his uncle, wouldn't Song Nan's thoughts come back to him?

Ice in summer and charcoal in winter, whoever sells it will make a lot of money!

Song Nan is not short of money, she just likes the feeling of making money!

"What do you think?" Song Nan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Song Youcai shook his head: "No."

"We think this is useless. You have to discuss it with your uncle to see if he can live in a pocket."

Song Nan nodded: "Of course I have to talk to my uncle about this matter. I will take that big watermelon to the Zhizhou Mansion to tell them tomorrow."

"How can one be enough? I'm going to take some more ripe melons now." Song Youcai quickly finished the piece of melon in his hand, took the handkerchief in Fang Peilan's hand and wiped his hands before going to the fields.

Song Nan hurriedly shouted: "Take a few more shots, and bring two to Fourth Brother and Grandma Song Muyun!"

Worried that Song Youcai wasn't listening, Song Nan chased him two steps and shouted.

This anxious look made Fang Peilan couldn't help but laugh. He quickly pulled her and said, "Don't worry, your father has placed a pole and several baskets at the melon shed and is just waiting for the melons to be ripe to pick them back."

"Besides, there are a lot of people at the village. I'm sure we can bring them here. You'd better think carefully about how to tell your uncle about the ice tomorrow."

"I've thought about this for a long time. Mom, do you want to come with me tomorrow?" Song Nan looked at Fang Peilan and asked.

"No, I told your father to go to the academy tomorrow to see your fourth brother. I haven't seen him for a month."

When Song Huai was mentioned in the academy, Song Nan was a little confused.

For some reason, the fourth brother has been staying in the academy this month and has not shown his face in the shops in Fucheng.

On the other hand, his senior brother Yu came to the hot pot restaurant almost every day, and there were always spicy ones in the three-in-one restaurant, and he shed tears while eating.

The students who came with him went from being surprised to being numb now, and even handed him a few pieces of paper.

Could it be that there is too much pressure in the academy?

So the fourth brother doesn’t even leave the academy?

Fang Peilan and the other two were going to the academy. Song Nan nodded repeatedly: "You just want to bring two watermelons."

Look what the fourth brother is doing in the academy.

The next day, Song Nan got off the carriage carrying two watermelons, and the people at the gate of Zhizhou Mansion quickly stepped forward to take what she had in her hand.

As soon as he saw Yi Manyun and Xu Wan, Song Nan said, "I'll show you a baby!"

Then she picked up a watermelon and put it on the table, and asked someone to get a knife to cut it.

As soon as the watermelon is cut, the sweet fragrance immediately comes out.

Xu Wan said thoughtfully: "Is this the watermelon you were talking about before? It smells sweet."

"It tastes sweeter when you eat it."

Song Nan took a piece and handed it to Yi Manyun, looking forward to it: "Try it quickly."

Not surprisingly, Xigua conquered Yi Manyun and Xu Wan, as well as Fang Cheng, who started late.

The three of them ate several pieces before stopping.

"Watermelon is cold in nature, so you shouldn't eat too much at a time."

Yi Manyun smiled and shook his head: "You girl can always bring us surprises. This melon is full of juice and is refreshing and relieves tiredness. If I am not wrong, you are going to sell it in a hot pot restaurant, right?"

"Auntie guessed it right and will reward you with a big watermelon!"

Song Nan chuckled and pointed to the big watermelon on the ground behind him.

Fang Cheng wiped his mouth and squatted down, touching and patting the uncut watermelon: "It's bigger than daddy's head!"

After chatting for a while, Song Nan took Yi Manyun to the room to chat alone.

Yi Manyun lay on the imperial concubine's chair and said, "You definitely didn't come here to give melons as gifts. Tell me, do you have anything to ask?"

Song Nan chuckled and said, "Summer is coming soon. I wonder if there is a shortage of ice cubes in my aunt's house?"

……

"what?!"

"Just for this?!"

Song Youcai puffed his beard and stared at Song Huai who lowered his head and said nothing, and almost hit him.Fortunately, he kept in mind that this was an academy and he couldn't hurt Song Huai's face here.

But he was still very angry: "You didn't see us for a month just because you didn't do well in a quiz? You are really..."

"It's not a quiz, it's a question that the teacher specially asked the students in the academy who had participated in the last autumn exam." Song Huai said.

Although less than half of these test questions were questions that the teacher came up with, he himself also failed in the test.

The teacher said that the autumn weather in August will be fine, but the spring weather in March next year may be...

I have just learned it now, but I still can’t support Chun Wei. I will go to Beijing in the second half of the year and have no face to face my grandfather!

That's why I sealed myself in the academy and studied hard, but I didn't want to forget to send letters to my family.

"Humph!"

Song Youcai rolled up his sleeves and turned around: "You can tell your mother yourself!"

Women are not allowed to enter the academy.

So Fang Peilan was waiting at the door while he came in to look for someone.

I didn't expect this kid to stay out of the academy for such an excuse. I'm really, really pissed off!

However, when the two of them walked out of the academy, they did not see Fang Peilan at the entrance of the academy.

The two originally thought that Fang Peilan had gone to the shop, but they did not expect that Fang Peilan was not seen in Linlang Pavilion or the hot pot restaurant.

Song Youcai felt a little uneasy, but he still said: "Maybe she went to your uncle's house."

"Mom? Mom didn't come here. Could it be that she went to the shop?" Song Nan, who had been in Zhizhou Mansion, did not see Fang Peilan.

As soon as these words came out, Song Youcai's expression suddenly changed.

"You didn't see your mother going to the shop or house where Fourth Brother and I went first."
