Chapter 84: Turning a Deal Awkward
Shopkeeper He knew how to do business as well. As soon as he received the snacks sent by Qi Younian, he immediately divided them into several portions, serving a small serving of Ice Cream and double-layered milk custard to each of the regular tables of customers.
The double-layered milk custard was okay; at most, it was just a delicacy, a fresh treat. But Ice Cream was different.
In its frozen state, with a cool sensation in the mouth, it truly melted upon entering the mouth, richly fragrant and sweet with cold. In the midst of this blazing hot summer, encountering such a counter-seasonal delicacy gave the customers an incredibly shocking sensory experience.
It wasn’t long after sending out the small bucket when a hurried waiter from Great Crane House came to inform that Shopkeeper He wanted two more buckets.
Two buckets of Ice Cream in such a short time?
Qi Younian feared he had heard incorrectly, and confirmed again, "Two large buckets?" Only large buckets of ice cream were left in the store, and Shopkeeper He had seen the large buckets of ice cream before.
The waiter nodded, "Yes, two buckets. Our shopkeeper is worried that even two might not be enough. You gentlemen don’t know, that little bit of Ice Cream, divided among a few tables and served, those who were quick enough got a taste, while those who were slow could only listen to others describe it, feeling incredibly itchy with desire."
Ye Xinyan laughed upon hearing this and took over the conversation, "Is that so? This thing needs a long time in advance to be made, and it can’t be stored for a long time, so we only made three buckets today. Take these two buckets first, and tell Shopkeeper He that we still have one bucket left here. If customers need it, they can come over to pick it up, but there isn’t any more beyond that."
