Chapter 856 To save money
"It's still cold, why are you thinking about buying ice now?" someone couldn't help but laughed.
"That's right, I'm still wearing two pieces of clothing!"
"No, all the cheap ice is a waste if you buy it back now!"
Everyone was talking to each other, but the shopkeeper didn't have any temper at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "Everyone is right. In this weather, ice is not needed, but many people have ice cellars in their homes. Business is good this summer."
Get up, whether you can grab the ice cubes or not, the price will definitely keep rising. When the time comes, looking at the empty ice cellar, I wonder if anyone will regret not buying ice to store it now?"
These words made the people who originally laughed at the shopkeeper dumbfounded.
They really didn't expect this.
"What the shopkeeper said seems to make sense. Ice is so cheap now. When the weather gets hotter, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it!" Some people who have icehouses at home are starting to get ready.
Just before they started to take action, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from far away, and soon they arrived at the door of the shop...
"Young man, I've met Eunuch Lu." The manager saw Eunuch Lu and immediately came up to say hello.
"The Emperor has an order for you to bring ice cubes into the palace and fill all the ice cellars!"
Eunuch Lu's words completely shocked everyone.
They didn't expect that even the palace was concerned about the ice cube.
Eunuch Lu had a profound look on his face, but in fact he was muttering in his heart: Once the account is calculated, the emperor will probably laugh from ear to ear. This ice cube has saved the palace a lot of money!
The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay, so he quickly ordered the people to get busy, and then strangely enough, just when it opened... it closed.
The door of the shop was crowded with people.
But this door is just closed.
After Eunuch Lu received the answer, he rode away directly.
Those who gathered around to watch the excitement, those who were eager to buy ice cream, those who were jealous and envious... all looked at the shop that had just opened and then closed with complicated eyes, feeling that it was a bit outrageous.
The shopkeeper doesn’t dare to close the door!
There must be a lot of demand in the palace. If this is delayed, the prince and princess may be affected. Therefore, he directly decided to close the door and arrange the things in the palace first.
As for the rest, whether you like it or not, you will regret it when the time comes.
While it was busy downstairs, Xi Yao, the princess and Princess Ning were all sitting upstairs.
After knowing that the shop owner had to prepare ice cubes from the palace, Princess Ning couldn't help but laugh, "The palace is afraid that they won't be able to buy it by then!"
Xi Yao smiled slightly, but he knew in his heart that he was not worried about not being able to buy it, it was just to get a bargain!
The demand in the palace is great. Compared with hiding ice in previous years, the cost is small and the price is cheap. Anyone who doesn't buy it is a fool.
"Princess Ning, the masters in this palace are all noble, so you must not be careless. Why not send a batch of food that can be eaten directly to avoid trouble caused by accidentally eating it!" Xi Yao reminded.
"Let the shopkeeper discuss this matter!" Princess Ning put down the stall and said.
With all these things asking her to come forward, she couldn't even think about having a good life all summer long.
She was still thinking that when the weather was the hottest, she would fill the room with ice basins and eat crushed ice to have the most delicious and comfortable summer.
When Xi Yao saw that she didn't interfere, he didn't care anymore.
Anyway, there are only two types of ice cubes, one is edible and the other is not.
Moreover, the two kinds of ice are different. Anyone who knows can tell them apart...
