The son-in-law of a prosperous family

The tricycle and the bicycle were running parallel to each other on the dirt road. A gust of wind and dust rose up, leaving the ox cart far behind. The old man driving the ox cart twitched his mouth.

"You little bastard, the ashes flew into my mouth!"

"I'm sorry, uncle. I'll treat you to a drink some other day."

He was also from Tianzao Village. His family's land was looked after by his sons, and he drove an ox cart to supplement the family income. He was a very talkative person. Zhao Yunchuan had ridden in an ox cart many times in the past, and the two of them would chat every time, so they had a good relationship.

"Old Cow, how come your four-wheeled bike can't outrun others' three-wheeled bikes?" someone joked.

"Not to mention three wheels, I can't even outrun the one with two wheels."

Lao Niu was not angry. He smiled and said, "You know what, his three-wheeled car is really good. Can I get one of these cars? The fare is only two copper coins, and I can make more trips."

"Hey, Lao Niu, are you obsessed with money?"

"You are such a fool! We are kind enough to give you advice, but you still want to raise the fare!"

Some people on the ox cart collectively criticized the old ox for its behavior of crossing the river and destroying the bridge.

While they were still wandering on the road, Zhao Yunchuan and Fang Huai had already arrived in the town.

This was the first time Fang Huai felt that the village was so close to the town. Riding a bicycle was faster than taking a ox cart, and it was much faster.

"Wait a minute, little white face!"

Zhao Yunchuan had just parked the car when he turned around and saw Li Laoguai, who was still looking unkempt.

"Little white face? Are you calling me?"

"Who else should I call if not you?"

Zhao Yunchuan was a little speechless: "Master Li, do you want to talk to me about something?"

The remaining silver was delivered yesterday afternoon. Could it be that there was a miscalculation and the silver is not enough?

"You are just talking nonsense, aren't you?" Li Laoguai said rudely, "If there is nothing else, why would I look for you? You are not popular, and I am not idle all day long. I am looking for you because I have something to tell you!"

Zhao Yunchuan smiled and asked, "Master Li, have you ever been put in a sack before?"

"How do you know?" Old Monster Li was shocked.

Could it be possible that this person could tell fortunes?

"How many times have you been tricked?"

Li Laoguai counted on his fingers: "Not that many times, maybe five, six, seven or eight times."

He had been raped twice when he was in the palace, and several times after he left the palace. Later, he drank too much and couldn't remember how many times it had happened.

Zhao Yunchuan shook his head. With that big mouth of Old Monster Li, it would be strange if he wasn't put in a sack and beaten.

"Tell me quickly, how do you know I was put in a sack?"

Old Monster Li still hasn't figured it out. Every time he was put in a sack and beaten, he didn't know who did it, so naturally he didn't know the reason.

"Master Li, as long as you have a better attitude and speak sweetly in the future, no one will put you in a sack."

"Oh, that can't be done!"

Old Monster Li was also very direct and said, "Just continue to put on the sack."

Being beaten with a sack only hurts temporarily, but forcing him to hold his mouth and say nice things hurts all the time.

Whether it is a temporary pain or a constant pain, Old Monster Li still knows clearly.

Zhao Yunchuan didn't want to argue with him here, so he asked again: "Master Li, what do you want from me?"

"Big deal, I want to discuss a business deal with you."

It turned out that Zhao Yunchuan's tricycle caused a trend in the town, and some wealthy young men found Li Laoguai to make custom orders, but Li Laoguai was a person who respected patents very much, so he came to Zhao Yunchuan.

"I plan to raise the prices of tricycles and bicycles, and I will give you 10% of the profits from the future."

Oh, it turns out to be a technology investment.

Zhao Yunchuan didn't expect that Li Laoguai, an ancient man, would respect patent rights so much. He smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Then I wish Master Li a prosperous business."

When Old Monster Li heard this, he jumped up and down, his voice became shrill: "I was just trying to share my money with you out of kindness, how could you curse me?"

"I do not have it!"

Zhao Yunchuan felt that he was extremely innocent. Isn't it auspicious to wish someone a prosperous business?

"I just want to earn some money for a drink. Wish my business is prosperous. Aren't you trying to tire me to death?"

Ha ha!

Zhao Yunchuan just wanted to say that every beating that Old Monster Li received was well deserved.

"Then I wish you to earn enough money for a drink. Goodbye!"

Then only Li Laoguai's back was left.

Li Laoguai couldn't help but mutter: "How come this kid's temper is worse than mine? Will he really not be beaten when he goes out?"

There were already quite a few servants and maids queuing up at the corner gate. They all held containers filled with ice in their hands, including ice jars, small basins, and some even had buckets.

Fang Huai was a little scared. He didn't expect so many people would come today.

"Hey, little brother, I heard that Laiyuelou is selling ice cream today. Is that true?"

Fang Huai nodded. He was always a bit cold and introverted when outside, but at this moment he tried his best to look gentle and generous.

"selling."

“When will the sale start?”

Zhao Yunchuan came over and said, "Line up, we'll start selling right away, but each person is limited to buying five scoops!"

They didn't have any measuring tools, so they planned to use the scoop at home and decide how much one scoop cost.

They used large buckets at home to store ice, and each bucket could hold about twelve to fourteen scoops of ice.

Upon hearing this, the servants and maids immediately started talking at once.

"Is one scoop of ice enough for me to fill up the basin in my hand?"

"My wife asked me to buy more. It would be best if I could buy a bucket."

"Why are you limiting purchases? Can't you just buy as much as you want? You guys are such idiots. You don't even know how to make money when you have it!"

Fang Huai and Zhao Yunchuan looked at each other, and both understood what was in each other's eyes. They were afraid that six buckets of ice might not be enough to sell.

Zhao Yunchuan pressed his hand and said, "Everyone, listen to me quietly. We have a limited supply of ice. If there is no purchase limit, some people will definitely not be able to buy it. When we have more ice in the future, everyone can buy as much as they want, but today we have to limit the purchase."

When doing business, the most taboo thing is to be too decisive.

At the same time, Zhao Yunchuan was also thinking about whether he should use the big water tank at home tomorrow, move the water to the big water tank, and then he could bring more ice.

After the preparations are completed, the product is officially put on sale.

"I want five scoops of ice!" The boy held an ice jar in his hand and kept muttering, "Don't let your hands shake. Fill it up."

Fang Huai was an honest man, and he filled the ladle full. The ladle was quite big, and each ladle contained quite a bit of ice.

There was still work to do in the kitchen, and Zhao Yunchuan couldn't stay here too long. He personally made a cup of tea for Fang Huai, brought a palm-leaf fan, and a plate of snacks, then happily went back to the kitchen to work.

The group of people who came to Yuelou were simply disgusted. How should they put it? Zhao Yunchuan was too attentive. They had never seen Zhao Yunchuan like a peacock spreading its feathers.

Wang Hu even went up to Fang Huai and said hello: "Sister-in-law, if you need anything, just tell me."

Fang Huai nodded: "Thank you!"

Fang Huai is such a big guy that he looks like someone who is not easy to mess with, so no one made trouble. At most, they just complained about the purchase restriction.
