"My wife prepared this. If you want to buy it, I can ask her," Lu Yan said.
"Okay, then you ask my sister-in-law how to buy it, and I'll buy some later."
Yu Shaoyu thought he was talking about He Yunxi buying it, and he didn't know how he bought it.
"You don't know, my mother and my grandmother have a hard time in the summer. They can't do without ice in summer, which consumes a lot of money. The ice we have at home is not enough for them." He sighed, "I said yesterday
I heard from Little Jujube that there was something wrong with our ice cellar this year. A lot of the ice has melted. This year is hotter than usual, so my ice is almost running out. Without ice, my mother and grandmother will have a hard time this summer."
Lu Yan knew that although Yu Shaoyu always said he disliked his mother and grandmother, he had a good relationship with them and was very filial.
"How much does ice cost in Fucheng?" Lu Yan asked.
"It used to be one tael of silver per side, but this year it's already two taels of silver per side." Yu Shaoyu said, "The price is second to none. Even if you have money, you can't buy it now."
Lu Yan nodded: "I'll ask you tonight. Okay, let's start reading now."
Although Lu Yan was very confident about the exam, he still spent a lot of time reviewing.
Huang Yumin and Yu Shaoyu both felt relieved when they saw him, and without thinking about anything else, they each picked up their books and started reading.
Lu Yan is more knowledgeable than them and works so hard, so what excuse do they have for not working hard?
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
A knock on the door interrupted them, and Lu Yan looked up and saw Mo Ye at the door.
"Master, Madam said the weather is hot. I will bring you a fan and put some ice in front to make it cooler." Mo Ye said.
"Then use it."
Mo Ye moved the fan in and put it there, then put a basin filled with a large piece of ice in front of him. Yu Shaoyu immediately asked Xiao Suanzao to pull the fan.
Little Suanzao had never seen a fan before. When he saw the rope, he pulled it a little harder and the fan started to spin. The wind passed over the ice cubes, bringing with it a hint of coolness, and it was very cool when it blew on the body. After a while, the whole study room
It's been a lot cooler.
Yu Shaoyu closed her eyes in front of the fan to feel it, and shouted excitedly: "Mo Ye, Mo Ye, help me make my fan quickly. With the combination of these two, my mother and the others will have a better summer!"
Mo Ye nodded, "I'll start making it for you tomorrow."
Huang Yumin had never been on Lu Yan's carriage and didn't know that this fan was so magical. After hearing Yu Shaoyu's words, he said, "I wonder if I can also queue up?"
"Okay. Just these two." Mo Ye said.
His hands are used as weapons, not fans. If it weren't for their good relationship with Lu Yan, he would not do either of these things.
After Mo Ye left, the room became quiet again, and the little Suizao didn't feel tired even while pulling the rope.
Such a cool house is worth breaking his arm!
They studied together until evening. Lu Yan returned to the inner courtyard, and He Yunxi had just prepared dinner.
Lu Yan went over and hugged her from behind: "Thank you for your hard work."
"What's so hard about this? I only cook for a few of us, and everyone else's meals are cooked by Sun's mother." He Yunxi said, "It's the cold pot skewers. Everyone skewers them together. I just cook them."
It’s just the base material.”
"That's good." Lu Yan wiped the sweat from her head, "Now the weather is getting hotter and the kitchen is even hotter. You don't have to cook all our meals, just make some for us to improve the food occasionally.
.”
"Well, when I don't want to do it, I let Mama Sun do it." He Yunxi said.
"By the way, Shao Yu said he wanted to buy ice."
"He wants to buy ice?"
Lu Yan told Yu Shaoyu what he said, and He Yunxi said: "It's not impossible for him to buy ice. But I told him that the quantity is not much, and it is distributed from others. I can only send two ice cubes a day. And if others want to buy it, it will not be available."
.”
"So careful?"
"Of course you have to be careful. How much money can you make from selling ice? If anyone finds out, they will definitely cause us trouble." He Yunxi looked serious, "You have less than two months to go to autumn, what now?
Nothing is as important as Qiu Wei. We can earn money later, but after Qiu Wei we have to wait another three years."
If his own knowledge is not good enough and he fails the exam, there is nothing he can do. But if he is clearly knowledgeable, but something else happens to Qiu Wei, then there is nothing he can do.
If you want to do it, then you must go all out.
Lu Yan hugged her hard to hide the emotion in his heart.
He Yunxi patted his hand that was wrapped in front of her and said, "Okay, you go out to eat."
"You won't eat with me?"
"I ate a lot when I tasted it before. I didn't really want to eat it. Just drink some porridge." He Yunxi said, "You guys have been reading for a long time, so we can eat something together to relax, and then we can go out for a walk.
A good balance between work and rest.”
Lu Yan was disgusted: "I don't want to go out with the two of them. When it gets cooler, let's go to the river for a walk?"
"Okay."
Lu Yan went out with the cold pot skewers, and Yu Shaoyu and Huang Yumin saw a new kind of food, saying that this kind of life is not very good.
"My sister-in-law is still very good, she can come up with all kinds of food." Yu Shaoyu said, "We have to study harder just for these delicacies, so that we can live up to her kindness!"
Huang Yumin nodded while Lu Yan was speechless.
She doesn't have any good intentions, it's all because of your thick skin and you got involved in her yourself.
But I have to say that on such a hot day, people have no appetite. This cold pot skewers is really appetizing, and it is not as hot as hot pot that makes people want to go crazy.
"Shao Yu, my wife said that she can help buy some ice, but the other party doesn't have much, so I can only sell some to you and can't sell it to others," Lu Yan said.
"We will keep it secret! No one will tell it," Yu Shaoyu promised.
He is not stupid. If others find out about this matter and ask where their family members come from, and the result is that they are gone, why don't they turn around and ask to come to the Yu family?
Will the Yu family give it or not when the time comes?
Don't give it, the favor is here and you can't get around it. Give it, you only have so much, and even if you give it to yourself, it won't be enough.
Therefore, this matter must be guarded.
"My wife said I would ask about the price later."
"Price is not an issue, as long as you can buy ice, it doesn't matter how expensive it is."
"Okay, then when she says goodbye, I'll tell you how to send it there."
He Yunxi thought for a while and realized that the saltpeter they had could not produce too much ice at once, and she did not have such a big place to store it. If a little ice was delivered to the Yu family every day, maybe someone would be there as time went by.
Discover.
However, this was promised to Yu Shaoyu again, and it was hard to go back on it.
Lu Yan and Lu Yan went for a walk by the river in the evening. When they saw the other side of the river, she thought of a good idea.
