80’s Fat Girl’s Counterattack

Chapter 13 - 13



After entering the space, Yu Long began to think about making ice. There is a poison recipe in the Poison Sutra that requires ice cubes. It is recorded that there are white crystals next to the Lingquan. After dissolving in water, it absorbs a lot of heat, causing the water temperature to drop rapidly and then condense. into ice.

Yu Long suspected that the white crystals might be saltpeter, because in her previous life, when she was searching for a tutorial on making popsicles on the Internet, she accidentally saw a video of saltpeter making ice.

Of course, she didn’t dare to be interested in this kind of video, so she just glanced at the title and passed it, but because she knew that saltpeter can make ice, she only knew that saltpeter can make ice.

Yu Long found this white crystal next to the Lingquan, and gently scraped it with a blade, a layer of crystal was scraped off and placed in a transparent round cup.

This round cup was found in the box found in the bamboo house. It was somewhat similar to a small beaker, except that there was no scale, and there was no sharp mouth for pouring liquids.

The method of making ice is much simpler than making drugs. After all, making ice is only the least technical operation in the process of making drugs.

Yu Long used a medicine pestle to grind the white crystals into powder, and then poured water into the round cup. Sure enough, the liquid in the water showed snowflake-like cracks. She put a wooden stick in it, and the surroundings of the wooden stick began to turn white rapidly.

Because the saltpeter is directly put into the water, the ice is naturally inedible, but this is also a small experiment she did to confirm the conjecture in her heart. If you really want to make popsicles, you must mix the saltpeter with food. The ice is separated by large and small containers.

Half an hour later, while picking flowers in the flower field, Yu Long chewed the ice cubes she had just made. Because the ice was made from spiritual spring water, the ice made was very sweet and delicious even without sugar.

It is cool and pleasant after the entrance, but it is warm after the lower abdomen. This kind of warmth lingers in the limbs and bones in an instant, which makes the whole body feel comfortable and quite magical.

She felt that she could eat ice recklessly during her aunt’s period. Speaking of which, her body had not yet had her period, which might also be related to malnutrition. Yu Long had a precocious puberty in her previous life, and started menstruation at the age of twelve.

The light red petals she is picking are one of the few non-toxic and edible petals in this flower field. The crushed juice is milky white and sweet, and can be used as sugar juice. After the water, it quickly turns into a clear milky white.

I found a similar iron mold in the wooden box, and soon a decent popsicle came out. The popsicle was also decorated with a few petals. What is the difference, sweeter than just now, and even has a faint floral fragrance.

She was satisfied, and the whole person was at ease.

Qiantang Town goes to the market on the 4th and 9th every month, and the women will go to the town together.

Everyone was talking and laughing along the way, and Yu Long was ridiculed many times because of her obesity.

After arriving in the town, there is a main street with blue brick houses on both sides. There are many street stalls on the street, most of them sell vegetables and fruits.

Jiang Jing came to the street, not only for grocery shopping, but also for a lot of eggs in her basket. She had saved a lot of time at home and planned to sell it. An egg costs 6 cents, which is considered a luxury item. Are reluctant to eat.

Jiang Jing gave Yu Long two cents to play by herself, and she found a place to sit down.

Because it was a market, people from villages near and far came over, so there were a lot of people. Most of them were yellow-faced and skinny, and their clothes were grey and covered in patches.

Yu Long walked through the crowd and saw the old lazy man selling popsicles on the street, he was looking for money.

“Fatty, do you want to buy popsicles?” Lao Lan shouted.

“Try calling me Fat again,” Yu Long glared at him.

The old lazy laughed a little, quite sly and slippery, “I won’t call you if you buy a popsicle.”

“You tell me how much you bought the popsicle and I’ll buy it.”

“That won’t work, it’s a commercial secret, how can I tell you?” Lao Lan glanced at her vigilantly.

“I originally wanted to buy a few more, you don’t have to tell me.” Yu Long turned around and wanted to leave.

Lao Lan stopped her, “You buy one first, and I’ll tell you later.”

“Then you give me two cents first,” Yu Long said.

“Mung bean popsicles are delicious, come with mung bean ones!” Mung bean popsicles cost two cents more, and he made more money.

“I am leaving.”

“Don’t tell me! Hey, I’ll give you two points.” Lao Lan was afraid that she would run away, and hurriedly took a popsicle from the foam box.

Yu Long held the milky white popsicle and handed him two cents.

“Don’t look at selling my green bean popsicles for four cents, the purchase price is three cents! I really didn’t make any money from you.”

Yu Long twitched the corners of his mouth, if he didn’t have half of the profits, he would be a ghost if he was willing to do this business.

“The purchase price is so expensive! Then you really didn’t make any money?” Yu Long snorted.

“Yeah! I just said there’s no profit.”

Yu Long’s words suddenly changed, “You’re so expensive, it’s really a disadvantage. I know there is a place to buy popsicles. It only costs two cents, which is much better than your mung bean popsicle.”

The old lazy face suddenly collapsed, and he waved his hand like chasing flies, “Let’s go, don’t delay my business.”

“I’m serious, I don’t believe you will come to the village tomorrow, I’ll give you a taste of the popsicles, I promise to sell better than your popsicles, if you don’t do it, I’ll find someone else, and then there will be more people to follow. You are stealing business!” Yu Long laughed and ran away, running back to the place where her mother sold eggs.

“Mom, you eat popsicles,” Yu Long said.

“You eat it yourself, Mom doesn’t want it”, Jiang Jing waved her hand.

Popsicles are a rare thing that has only emerged in the past two years. Jiang Jing probably hasn’t eaten them yet. It’s not that Yu Long doesn’t want to buy 40 cents of green bean popsicles, but Jiang Jing only gave her two cents. She can’t explain the other two. Where did the cents come from.

“Have a taste!” Yu Long handed the popsicle to her mouth.

“Oh, Jiang Jing, it’s still her daughter who will be distressed,” a woman joked next to her.

Jiang Jing was also full of smiles.

Yu Long simply put the popsicle in the egg basket, “Mom, eat it! I’ll go shopping.”

“This child.”

After the novelty passed, there was no more fun in the market, and there were almost no entertainment activities to eat, drink, and play. When Yu Long walked to the end of the street, he found a post office.

The post office in the town has only a simple table to separate the mailers from the staff. There is a well-dressed middle-aged woman sitting inside. She squinted and seemed to be dozing off, looking a little listless, and there was almost nothing in the town. People come to send letters, everyone has been rooted here for generations, and there are no relatives in other places, so there is no need to send letters.

Moreover, a new telephone line was pulled over from the town, which even robbed the post office of a lot of business. This is also the reason why Qiantang Town is relatively close to the county seat, and it only takes them more than an hour to walk there.

“Sister,” Yu Long shouted at the counter, seeming to frighten the woman, she woke up with a bit of dissatisfaction and annoyance of being disturbed on her face.

“It’s okay to talk nonsense.” The woman’s attitude was not good.

“Sister, I want to ask you if there are any red monkey tickets that just came out this year,” Yu Long asked.

“It’s all here, see for yourself.” The woman rolled her eyes and threw a box directly in front of her.

Yu Long rummaged for a while, but couldn’t find the monkey ticket she wanted.

“How much is a stamp?”

The woman didn’t lift her head, and said lazily, “Eight points.”

Yu Long didn’t buy the last stamp, and the woman rolled her eyes when she left.

In her previous life, she read a lot of chronological texts, and many of the texts mentioned the 80th edition of monkey tickets, which can be said to be the best choice for collection.

But even if there were monkey tickets in the town’s small post office, she couldn’t afford it. The so-called penny beats a hero, so Yu Long clenched his fist and couldn’t be suffocated by money.

The next afternoon, Yu Long ran out of the house when she heard the old lazy shouting for popsicles, and replaced the popsicles she just made in a place where no one else was.

“Lazy,” Yu Long shouted.

Lao Lan looked up at her and saw that she was holding a long cylindrical popsicle in her hand. What channel can girl films get into popsicles? He went to the county town to pick up goods every morning before dawn.

The villagers called him lazy, but it was a bit unfair to him.

“Where did you come from?” the old lazy asked with his eyes rolled.

“This is a commercial secret, what are you asking for?” Yu Long chokes him with the same words.

The old lazy laughed, “Then let me taste it.”

The old lazy took the popsicle from Yu Long. The milky white popsicle showed a light red against the background of the red petals. It shone in the sunlight. It was very beautiful. of flowers.

“What’s in here?” Lazy asked.

“Petals!”

“Is this edible?”

“Why can’t I eat it? I’ve eaten several! But it’s delicious.” Yu Long said, “Of course I’m just showing you one of them. There are other colors of popsicles in my place.”

The old lazy tried it. The sweetness of the popsicle spreads on the tip of the tongue. It is sweet but not greasy. The taste is surprisingly good. The petals are also edible. After eating it, it is very soft. After a while, one popsicle is gone, he I can feel the scent of flowers still in my mouth. His eyes lit up, and he was very moved by this popsicle.

“How many goods do you have in your hands?” Lao Lan asked with squinted eyes, his mind spinning rapidly.

“It’s hard to say, the key is that I can supply as much as you can sell.” Yu Long grinned, she knew that the prey had been hooked.

“You little fat girl, your tone is not small.”

“You don’t have to worry about the source of the goods, we’ll still talk about the purchase price. You told me yesterday that you pay three cents for the popsicles. For the sake of our fellow villagers, I’ll give you a little less and only charge you one. It’s two minutes and a half,” Yu Long narrowed his eyes.

Yu Long knew that the purchase price must be high, but negotiating, isn’t it just testing each other’s bottom line?
