C330 Ice shop (1/2)

When Xiao Wen brought Sun Shangxiang and Guan Yu out of the damned weapon shop, he noticed Shangguan Waner staring at a shop not far away.

”That's …” As Xiao Wen said this, she looked over to find that this shop was actually selling ice!

WC!

Has the production technique of this ice cube been spread to the Tang Kingdom? Even though he knew that in this world where there was no patent fee, the ice trade would definitely be imitated. However, he did not expect his speed to be so fast!

”NO!” There's also another possibility. When other people saw me selling ice in the summer, they discovered that selling ice would actually make such a huge profit, so they imitated me selling ice. However, they did not know that when saltpeter came into contact with water, it would undergo a chemical reaction and absorb a large amount of heat. After all, as long as we dig a large enough ice cellar and store enough ice in the winter, we can sell it in the summer. ”

This was a very simple arithmetic problem. When a merchant hires hands to dig a cellar, he can store ice in it. As for how big this cellar was, he could store as much ice as he wanted.

And the profits are high. After all, when the merchants hired people to dig the cellar, the pay for each cubic meter of soil was not even worth mentioning compared to the size of the ice cubes.

More importantly, this cellar was not one-off. As long as it was winter, the merchants could store the worthless ice in the cellar during the winter.

As a result, as long as merchants keep their reserves of ice less than the amount consumed in the summer market, and ensure that no one competes with them every summer. Earning money was something certain.

”Wan-Er, what's wrong?” Do you want to eat it? ” Xiao Wen walked to Wan'er's side and asked.

Although Xiao Wen had strict control over both Sun Shangxiang and Guan Yu, he had always been rich control over Shangguan Waner.

After all, although the historical Shangguan Waner liked to play with power, she still had the self-discipline of a politician.

With regards to Wan'er, Xiao Wen believed that even if she were to let this girl go, she would not lose her ability to restrain herself.

Wan-Er was someone who could give good things to good sisters after all.

However, Wan-Er shook her head and said, ”It used to be a bakery run by an old lady. ”Right now, I don't know why, but it's someone else …”

Her tone was filled with confusion and reminiscence, as if what she said about the old granny's pastry shop was a childhood memory that belonged to her.

When Xiao Wen heard this, he frowned. Wan'er had only left the Tang Kingdom for about three years. In three years time, this place had actually been replaced.

One had to know that the pace of commerce in ancient times was nothing compared to that of modern times. In modern times, if a shop does not run well, it could go from opening to closing in less than half a year.

However, in ancient times, running a shop wasn't too complicated. As long as they could open up a shop, they would be able to maintain it for at least ten to twenty years.

This was also the reason why there were so many century-old shops in the ancient era.

Looking at this shop, Xiao Wen knew that this was Wan Er's memories.

So he asked Wan'er, ”Before you left, did you ever hear from your mother-in-law that there was something wrong with her body, or that there was something wrong with the shop?”

After all, this was an old man's shop. Xiao Wen felt that it was not strange for something to happen.

After all, in the ancient society, people's health care, health care, and nutrition intake were all inferior to modern people's. It was very likely that because of a small cold, a child would immediately die.

However, if a person passed the age of sixty, then he would live for an extra day, which was considered earning an extra day. After sixty, most people could die at any time.

Only those who started to nurture their lives at a young age could survive.

Unfortunately, when Wan'er heard Xiao Wen's question, she shook her head and said, ”That was a few years ago. I can't really remember it …”

That's true! After all, Wan'Er was only a five or six-year-old Lolita at that time. It would be weird if she could remember the situation of this shop or could see it at the time.
