With the purchasing system in hand, he is worshipped as a god by international students

Qiu Ling already has a goal in mind for the new product.

It was the words "the taste of childhood" from the foreign students that inspired her.

It’s summertime now, and the most popular snack in the convenience store is the cheap, cold summer must-have: ice packs!

It is the beginning of most children's understanding of beverages and is also one of the beverages they can come into contact with at an early age.

Put the ice bag in the refrigerator and freeze it into hard ice cubes. When eating, bite a small hole and suck the melted juice in the bag. On a hot summer day, a sip of cold sweet water is simply a magic weapon to cool down and quench your thirst!

Sometimes the ice melts slowly and you can hold it in your hands as a tool to cool down.

Qiu Ling still remembers that when she was in school, she had no pocket money because of Qiu Guangming and Dong Hui's favoritism.

At that time, she envied her classmates and Qiu Guangming for being able to buy ice packs.

In order to have a sip of drink, I even ran errands for my classmates and did duty for them. It was really humble.

At that time, when she saw others trying to see who could squirt ice water farther, she wanted to pat her classmates on the shoulder and say: Come on, squirt it into my mouth.

But she was too shy and had too strong a self-esteem to do so.

Until now, in two lifetimes, she had never truly owned a bag of ice of her own.

Later, she worked hard in Hai City and grew up both mentally and physically. She was only thinking about making money and had no time to miss the past.

The regret named "ice bag" was completely buried in her heart as time went by.

How ridiculous.

Qiu Guangming could buy two bags of ice packs with his daily pocket money, but for him, they became a childhood dream and a regret when he grew up.

Obviously, it's only a dime.

Before she knew it, Qiu Ling arrived at the convenience store on Shangtang Street.

Looking at the colorful palm-sized bags in front of her that had been frozen into small ice bricks, she was dazed for a moment.

Ice packs come in so many flavors?

The white one is lychee flavor, the yellow one is pineapple flavor, the green one is green apple flavor, the pink one is strawberry flavor, the orange one is tangerine flavor, the black one is cola flavor, and the red one is watermelon flavor!

Kids of this age eat pretty well.

Since there was no refrigerator at home, Qiu Ling only bought one bag of each flavor.

The owner of the convenience store was Qiu Ling's rival, and she gave Qiu Ling a transparent bag as a gift for her to carry home.

Qiu Ling was about to leave when she thought of something else, "Aunt Hong, where did you get these ice packs?"

Aunt Hong put the money into the iron box and said casually, "I bought it from a popsicle wholesale store next to the farmer's market. What's wrong with that?"

Qiu Ling smiled slightly, "I want to go and take a look."

Aunt Hong rolled her eyes and guessed that Qiu Ling might want to do the ice bag business.

But after thinking about it carefully, she denied it again.

The profit margin of ice packs is extremely low. Even if you purchase 1 bags, you can only make a few hundred yuan.

Although she and Qiu Ling were not very close, she knew that she was smart and capable, otherwise she would not have bought both a used air conditioner and a used car.

I've been living in Shangtang Street for less than a year, and I'm enjoying my life there.

Aunt Hong prides herself on having eyes that can see through everything, so she thinks Qiu Ling would never be interested in such a small business. She probably wants to wholesale some and store it at home to eat slowly.

In just a few seconds, she went through four psychological activities: surprise, doubt, denial, and confirmation.

Finally, he smiled and said, "Let me tell you, when you get to the main entrance of the farmer's market, turn right and go to the shopping street next to Hongqi Primary School. There is an ice cream wholesale store called Tianmeier. This ice cream store has its own ice cream factory. The factory environment inside is much more hygienic, and the ice packs made in other small workshops are cleaner. Anyway, you know."

Qiu Ling understood immediately.

"I see. Thank you, Aunt Hong."

Aunt Hong smiled and waved her hand, "We are all neighbors, I can't lie to you."

Qiu Ling left the store with a smile.

The sun was about to set, but the weather in Guangzhou was still as hot and stuffy as if it was wrapping people in a steamer.

Qiu Ling quickly took out a bag of small ice bricks with green apple flavor from her pocket, bit open a hole in it, and sucked hard. A sweet and icy liquid slid into her throat.

As soon as you drink it, you can tell that it is a mixture of flavors and beverage powder. It cannot be compared with the later soda drinks that focus on zero sugar, pure natural, and fresh fruit juice.

It is a far cry from Rong's iced black tea.

But for some reason, she felt particularly comfortable and satisfied while walking and sucking on an ice bag in her mouth.

It was as if I had walked into my own memories and corrected the past with my own hands.

It's sunny.

Qiu Ling planned to go to the ice cream shop in the farmer's market early tomorrow morning to find out what was going on.

Ice packs are just one of the new products.

Last year’s Ningshi watermelons should be back for a limited time!

Grandma Wang’s house.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, Duoduo and Heidan came out to greet me.

Heidan has become more picky ever since he followed Duoduo to eat canned dog food several times.

Xue Duoduo started a hunger strike.

Grandma Wang compromised for two days and found that if Duoduo was a gas tank, then Heidan was a bottomless pit.

I can finish 20 cans of dog food a day!

A can costs several dollars, and just to satisfy its dog's mouth, you have to spend dozens of dollars a day!

A dog lives a more carefree life than a human. Grandma Wang feels that she cannot let the dog go on a rampage, so she decisively stops feeding Heidan with canned food.

Heidan is also a smart guy. Since he couldn't lick Grandma Wang, he started to lick Qiu Ling. In a short period of time, he licked three cans of food from Qiu Ling and became a real dog licker.

The smell of food came from the kitchen.

Qiu Ling walked into the main room as if she was returning to her own home.

Yangyang was practicing writing pinyin in a grid book. His handwriting was crooked and not very pretty. The pinyin 'a' was written like a fathead fish, jumping out of the grid line.

"Aunt Qiu~" When he saw Qiu Ling, he called out sweetly.

Qiu Ling put the bag of ice packs on the table and said, "Eat the ice packs."

Yangyang grinned and reached out to take it, "Thank you, Aunt Qiu."

Qiu Ling walked into the kitchen holding an ice bag in her mouth and saw Grandma Wang's spatula flying to the ground.

Seeing her, Grandma Wang said loudly: "Let's eat at my house tonight, don't light the stove."

Qiu Ling stuck his head out and took a look.

"Wow, pickled fish!" The spicy smell of red oil entered Qiu Ling's nose, and she couldn't help swallowing.

If we rank the cooking skills of the three families, Qiu Ling would undoubtedly be first, Kuang Mingshan second, Grandma Wang third, Uncle Wang fourth, Chen Huan fifth, and Aunt Guihua sixth.

Don’t be fooled by Kuang Mingshan’s low-key appearance. When he was young, he learned a good cooking skill in order to take care of his mother and sister.

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Your big brother Kuang is going to drive a sports car tomorrow, so let him eat something good tonight."

Qiu Ling came here just to talk to Kuang Mingshan about something. Since he was going on a long journey tomorrow, she had to bring up the matter today.

It just so happened that the weather was too hot and she was too lazy to cook.

"Then I'll go buy some stewed food and drinks."

"Okay." Grandma Wang did not stop her. She knew that this was Qiu Ling's habit. No matter where she went to eat, she would never go empty-handed.

Without leaving Shangtang Street, there is a small stall selling braised dishes right at the community activity center. The stall owner is a native of Shangtang Street. The braised dishes taste good. Qiu Ling once approached him and wanted to buy in large quantities, but he thought it was too troublesome and was unwilling to do it.

Qiu Ling bought a pound of walnut meat, a pound of pig ears and two pieces of braised tofu.

The walnut meat is mixed with spicy red oil, sprinkled with peanuts, chopped green onions and coriander, and the spicy aroma of the red oil lingers around your nose.

Pig ears are mixed in the same way, but without peanuts.

The braised tofu is cut into strips and topped with spicy oil...

and many more.

The chubby face on the glass bottle and the three artistic characters written with great joy are exactly "La Xiang Xiang"?!

"Boss, where did you buy the chili oil in your hand?" Qiu Ling couldn't help but ask.

The boss held up the glass bottle and looked at it. "Oh, I bought it at Sister Hong's store."

The boss is of the same age as Aunt Hong, so the way he addresses her is different from Qiu Ling.

The boss explained: "I ran out of the chili oil I made myself, so I had to use this instead, but don't worry, the stewed dishes made with this chili oil are also delicious, even more fragrant than the chili oil I made myself, and the price is a little more expensive."

Worried that Qiu Ling might not believe it, the boss even used disposable chopsticks to pick up two pieces of dried tofu and passed them to Qiu Ling, "Try a bite if you don't believe me."

Of course Qiu Ling knew how fragrant the chili oil recipe she had given was!

But the braised food that was handed to her mouth was so fragrant that she couldn't help but take a bite.

"It tastes good!" Qiu Ling felt a little proud when she said this.

The boss felt relieved and continued packing.

She didn't feel it was real before, but now seeing the spicy chili oil appear on people's "dining table", she really feels like watching a child grow up step by step.
