Ye Muyu patted the back of her hand.

She sat under the umbrella. Soon, the weather became hotter and hotter. The sun shone high in the sky, and more and more people came in from the city gate.

Ye Muyu stood up and instructed Chunqin to promote the sour plum juice.

“It’s a sweet and sour sour plum juice. Two copper coins for a bowl. It’s good for thirst. Cool it in the well and it will taste even better.”

Slowly, people came to buy it.

Two copper coins were not a lot, and it was plum season now.

Although many trees in Lin County had been cut down, the fruit trees were still preserved. The reason was simple. Those trees could not be sold for much unless they were used as firewood. However, firewood was cheap, so cutting down the trees would also make a loss. Naturally, many fruits were actually available.

However, no one knew how to plant it or exterminate the insects. Naturally, not many people planted them.

However, even so, there would still be fruits on the market, but the quantity was relatively small.

As the raw materials of plums were not expensive, Ye Muyu naturally would not set the price of the sour plum juice too high. As a result, many passers-by who were extremely thirsty also bought a bowl to drink.

Ye Muyu had deliberately frozen the sour plum juice. The weather was hot now, so it could be slightly cooler.

With the first buyer, more and more customers came.

Women and children especially liked sour and sweet plum juice.

Men would rather drink tea that cost one copper coin.

However, drinking the sour plum juice after drinking the tea was a completely different feeling.

A large bucket of sour plum juice was sold out in two hours.

Chunqin carried the wooden box filled with copper coins in her hands. As she walked, the inside of the box rang. “Madam, it’s really sold out…”

“Are you still selling it tomorrow? I think everyone likes it very much. It’s sour and sweet. It’s better than purely sweet drinks. No wonder everyone likes it.”

“We’ll sell it at another place tomorrow.”

Ye Muyu had originally wanted to make the sour plum juice famous. She was finally relieved about today’s situation. She was actually a little worried that the people here did not like to drink it. After all, the locals liked savory food.

However, their taste for dishes may be different from their taste for beverages.

They then returned to the residence.

After Ye Muyu rested, Chunqin was called over by Madam Zhou to ask her about what happened in the morning.

“Did Mrs. Chu really sell the fresh drink she made?” Madam Zhou still felt that this news was a little surreal.

Chunqin knelt on the ground and nodded. “Madam, Mrs. Chu’s sour plum juice is indeed delicious. It was sold out in two hours. The raw materials are not expensive either. If we set up a stall and sell it in the summer, it would be a business.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Although Li County suffered from floods, it did not mean that Li County was poor.

On the contrary, because it was close to Yuzhou, those who had a strong physique would go there to find a way out. They would come back once a month and could still support their families. Naturally, the people of Li County were used to doing business.

“Is she just trying to earn money since she’s going out personally?” Madam Zhou was a little puzzled. “I saw that the jewelry Mrs. Chu was wearing was not very cheap. It can be seen that the Chu family is not poor. Why…”

“This servant does not know either.” Chunqin did not dare to ask casually. Basically, she would do whatever Ye Muyu said.

Ye Muyu had told Chunqin that she only needed to follow her instructions.

Seeing that she could not get anything out of Chunqin, Madam Zhou could only ask a little more before stopping.

She planned to wait for County Magistrate Qin to come back before discussing it.

However, Madam Zhou did not end up waiting for County Magistrate Qi to return. Instead, she waited for an honored guest.
