Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly, and the atmosphere on the scene seemed particularly harmonious.

"Miss, it's almost time. We can prepare to open the business." Butler Chen stood beside Jiang Xue, slightly hunched over, with his hands folded in front of him, his expression revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Jiang Xue gently raised her head to face the warm sunshine of early summer. Her eyes moved around the store, observing every detail: the tables and chairs in the store were polished to a shine, rows of exquisite porcelain bowls and silver spoons were neatly arranged, and the red silk ribbons outside the store fluttered gently in the breeze, as if announcing this festive moment to people.

"Well, it's time." Jiang Xue took a deep breath. She could feel the excitement and nervousness before the opening in the air around her.

She smiled slightly, and this smile contained determination and expectation for the future: "Butler Chen, tell the guys to prepare for the opening!"

Butler Chen nodded in agreement and turned to convey the opening instructions to the shop assistants.

Then, the guys quickly took action, some adjusted the decoration in the store, and some checked the placement of each serving of ice jelly to make sure everything was ready.

Following Jiang Xue's order, a long string of firecrackers was set off in front of the store. Amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, the red silk fluttered even more happily, as if cheering for the opening of the new store.

Pedestrians on the street stopped to watch, children clapped their hands excitedly, and adults whispered to each other, talking about this newly opened ice jelly shop.

"Hey, is this new store also opened by the owner of the oden restaurant?" a regular oden customer asked curiously in the crowd.

When Jiang Xue heard this question, she turned around with a smile and said to the regular customer, "Yes, this is our newly opened ice jelly shop. Although it is different from oden, it is equally delicious. You are welcome to come and taste it."

After hearing Jiang Xue's introduction, the regular customer immediately became interested: "Oh? Ice jelly shop? You must try it. A bowl of ice jelly is also very good."

The people next to him also echoed: "Yes, yes, the owner of this oden restaurant cooks such delicious dishes, so I guess the ice jelly won't be bad either."

As he spoke, he pulled his companion into the store.

Jiang Xue looked at them with a satisfied smile on her face.

She knew that good word of mouth is accumulated slowly by spreading from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people.

And today is the beginning of building reputation for her new store.

The store was bustling with people and customers coming in an endless stream.

From the store entrance to the seating area, people were walking around, some stopping to watch the ice jelly making process, while others were choosing their favorite flavors.

Despite the large number of people, the store was well-organized and there was no feeling of crowding or chaos.

The guests sat around the table, each carefully holding a bowl of crystal clear ice jelly in their hands, their faces filled with satisfaction and joy.

As they gently stirred the dessert in the bowl, they excitedly talked about their respective feelings about this delicious dish.

"Wow, this ice jelly is simply amazing! It tastes fresh and refreshing, has a smooth and delicate texture, and has just the right sweetness. It doesn't feel greasy at all." One of the guests expressed his inner feelings with full praise.

“Yes, yes, look at these ingredients, red beans, mung beans, lotus seeds… there are so many varieties, and the combination is perfect. It’s really rich!” The guest sitting next to me pointed to the colorful ingredients in his bowl, his eyes shining with surprise.

At this moment, the store was also bustling with activity. The long queue of people waiting to buy ice jelly showed no sign of decreasing, and people were talking excitedly.

"Hey, have you heard? The ice jelly in this shop is carefully made using the most authentic traditional craftsmanship, perfectly retaining the original natural flavor of the raw materials." A customer standing in the line lowered his voice and revealed to his companion beside him in a mysterious manner.

"Is it really that good? Then I must try it myself." Another person responded expectantly, expressing his curiosity about the upcoming tasting.

"No, why is your bowl different from mine?" a guest next to them asked suspiciously, his eyes constantly looking back and forth between the bowls in front of the two people.

The customer who was enjoying the cold shrimp raised his head with a smile on his face and patiently explained, "This is the cold shrimp just taken out from the kitchen. It is also the latest flavor launched in the store. Look, this cold shrimp is so crystal clear, just like a bunch of shining pearls, and it tastes chewy and smooth in your mouth."

Hearing this, a person nearby showed a curious expression on his face and asked, "Cold shrimp? I have never heard of this name before. What does it taste like?"

"By May, the weather will be even hotter, and this ice jelly and cold shrimp will be a great way to cool down in the summer!" he said excitedly.

He recalled the days last summer when he was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, and imagined that tasting a bowl of refreshing and cooling ice jelly and cold shrimp at that time was an indescribable enjoyment.

His voice caught the attention of the other guests, and they nodded in agreement.

Indeed, as the temperature gradually rises, a bowl of cold ice jelly and cold shrimp can not only relieve heat and quench thirst, but also bring a rare coolness and comfort.

The guest who was enjoying the food did not hesitate to praise the cold shrimps, and replied with great joy: "It is really delicious! It is cool and refreshing, with a unique and wonderful taste. By the way, I heard from the waiter in the store that in addition to cold shrimps, they also have excellent cold cakes, which taste soft, glutinous and sweet. Just thinking about it makes people salivate."

This vivid description instantly aroused the interest of the customer next to him: "Then I must have a bowl to try it and see how delicious these cold shrimps and cold cakes are."

"Miss, you are amazing. The business of this shop is no worse than that of oden." Chen Yuxi said in surprise.

Chen Yuxi smiled and said, "No, no, I just expressed my true feelings."

At this time, several more customers were attracted. While queuing, they listened to the people in front of them praising the cold shrimps and cold cakes, their hearts full of anticipation.

The atmosphere in the team became more lively, and people exchanged their preferences and insights on food with each other.

This small shop has become a popular destination because of its unique ice jelly, cold shrimp and cold cake.

"Miss, Dazhuang said that the village has sent a lot of meatballs and some ingredients for making ice jelly, and asked you to go home and take a look." Butler Chen came in a carriage to inform Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Okay, Achen, Xier, let's go home."
