C10 First barrel of gold

Due to the help of Zhou Xian and Zhou Wei, the ice was quickly made!

With all the tools present, Xiao Wen was also very surprised at the two sisters' ability to borrow things. In less than an hour, a cart of ice was completed, and each ice cube was around the size of a brick.

Looking at these pieces of ice, Xiao Wen could not move his eyes away, this was all money!

In order to prevent the ice from melting faster, Xiao Wen had even specially taken out the winter quilts, and used a few quilts to wrap the entire carriage with ice cubes!

Xiao Wen then pulled the cart towards the market.

"Come back early. I'll prepare some food for you from home with Little Wei!" Zhou Xian said as he looked at Xiao Wen's back.

Zhou Xian knew that this brother-in-law did not disappoint him, he had truly changed into a different person!

"Un, got it!" Xiao Wen said.

When Xiao Wen went to the market, he even called for his three prized disciples. In return, one of them even sent them an ice cube to use during the summer!

"Sir, I wonder where this ice cube came from. The student didn't know that the teacher has an icehouse? " Little Zhuge Liang asked curiously!

Xiao Wen said proudly: "This is something I made myself, it's not the ice stored inside the ice cellar from last year's cold winter!"

"Wah!" Mister is so awesome! " Wan-Er clapped.

"Teacher is really powerful!"

"Sir is truly a genius!"

Xiao Wen listened to the three amazing people in history praising him, and his heart drifted a little.

When he arrived at the market, Xiao Wen realized that it was extremely similar to the markets in the TV dramas.

"Selling ice cubes!" "A cold ice cube …" The three children shouted in unison!

"Louder!" When we get back, I'll give each of you one more piece of ice! " Xiao Wen said.

"Selling ice cubes …"

"Selling ice cubes..."

"Selling large ice cubes …"

Not long later, a group of people surrounded him.

"Aiyo!" Teacher Xiao, didn't you open a private school? Why are you selling ice cubes again? "

"Teacher Xiao? Who is the Teacher Xiao? "

"You don't even know this, but this Teacher Xiao is a teacher of Yingchuan Academy. He was rejected by the school and then he came out of it."

"He's even a teacher at Yingchuan Academy?"

"That's right! And I also heard that after Teacher Xiao left the academy, those people who excluded him would not forgive him! "

"Ha!" Are those people so despicable? "

"I remember that there was a teacher called Cai Jing who came here to provoke and duel with Teacher Xiao. In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat!"

"Not only that, I even heard that Mister Huang Chengyan views the Teacher Xiao very highly!"

The crowd, who originally wanted to buy ice cubes, had yet to see any ice cubes, so they began to talk to each other.

Hearing the words of these people, Xiao Wen's heart was filled with joy. Being praised by others is indeed a very satisfying thing!

"Teacher Xiao, are you selling ice?"

"That's right!" Ice! I wonder if this uncle would like one? " Xiao Wen replied.

"It's such a hot day and your house doesn't have an icehouse. Where are you going to find ice cubes?"

"That's right, that's right …"

"This ice cube is something that only the sons of rich families can use. Where did a teacher like you get this ice cube from?"

"Could this Xiao Wen have gone mad from poverty?"

"Didn't I hear that it was pretty good when I sparred with Cai Jing previously?"

A group of neighbors surrounded him, talking back and forth.

Xiao Wen did not say anything, he raised the blanket on top of the ice block and called out, causing white Qi to come out, and everyone could see the ice block from the white Qi. After that, Xiao Wen covered the ice cube once again.

"Hey!" Look, it really is ice cubes! "

"Yes!" Where did this brat get this ice cube from? "

"Little bro, how much are you selling this ice cube for?"

"Ten coins a piece." Xiao Wen replied with a smile.

"So cheap? I thought it would cost several taels of silver! " The man who had asked for the price said.

"Come come come come, little brother, I'll give you 100 gold coins, give me 10 gold coins."

"Give me five."

"Teacher Xiao, give me two pieces."

"I want 20!"

When the villagers saw that Xiao Wen was selling the ice cubes, and the prices were not expensive either, they crazily started to buy them. After selling them all, they went back home, afraid that the ice cubes they bought would melt on the way home.

These people basically relied on farm work and some part-time work to make money for the large families. Some of them did some small business in the city. Although they weren't rich, they still had some basic expenses.

Just like this, the ice cubes that Xiao Wen produced that were filled to the brim sold out in less than two hours.

Xiao Wen counted his hard work and found that there were actually ten taels of silver. This made Xiao Wen smile as he looked at the money.

Xiao Wen lowered his head to look at the three children who had accompanied him to make his first pot of gold, then smiled and said to the three children: "Let's go, Mister, I'll treat the three of you to candy today, and buy some ink and paper as well."

"Really?" Wan-Er shouted in joy.

"Really! "If you say it, you will never be able to keep up with it!" Xiao Wen said.

"Thank you, sir."

Afterwards, the three little fellows lined up in a row and bowed deeply towards Xiao Wen to express their gratitude.

After buying the brush, ink, paper, and the candied flakes, Xiao Wen pushed his cart back home with the three children.

When they reached home, they saw Zhou Wei and Zhou Xian sitting in the living room, sewing.

Xiao Wen looked at Zhou Xian, and sat at the table naturally and gracefully. Her every move was graceful, like a painting of mountains and rivers, something that one would not get tired of seeing.

Seeing that Xiao Wen had returned, Zhou Wei put down his sewing and ran over to him and asked in a hurry: "How was it? How about it? "How much did you sell today?"

"Also …" It's hard to say in a single sentence! " Xiao Wen sighed.

"It can't be that the ice melted before even reaching the market, right?" Zhou Wei said in frustration.

"Speak!" What was going on? Say something! " Zhou Wei asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, it's been a hard day. Drink some water and take a rest. It's not easy to be outside! " Zhou Xian said.

"Still …" Xiao Wen sighed again.

"What's going on, hurry up and tell me!" Zhou Wei was about to burst into tears, and asked anxiously.

"Also... Really, there were too many people buying ice from the market. You can't even collect the money! " Xiao Wen said in distress, and then laughed out loud!

"Xiao Wen, you lied to me!" Zhou Wei said angrily.

"Alright, you two stop messing around. Your Brother Xiao Wen has also been tired the entire day, so stop messing around! " Zhou Xian said.

Finished, Zhou Xian looked at Xiao Wen and said: How is it? "How is it today?"

"The ice was all sold, and I earned ten taels of silver. I bought some ink and paper for Guan Yu, Shangguan Waner and Zhuge Liang, I still have around nine taels left." With that said, Xiao Wen placed all of the fruits of his hard work on the table.

"Wah!" So much money! If he could earn so much in a single day, how much money would he get in a month? Elder sister, we won't have to live our lives with money anymore! " Zhou Wei said excitedly.

"One cannot reveal his wealth." Zhou Xian only said these few words, and then didn't speak anymore. He gave a deep glance to Xiao Wen, and walked back into his own room.
