When Mrs. Zhang's nanny heard what the young lady said, she had to take orders to see if there were really ice drinks for sale.
She took Luzhu Ruyi out with her, which gave them a chance to atone for their sins.
"Damn girl, I'm telling you, if you lie to the madam with your nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart!" Zhang's nanny poked Lu Zhu's head, causing her to stagger and almost lose her balance.
"Cousin, why did I lie to my wife? It's not because I want to live longer. I just listened to Sun Changbai."
Sun Changbai is the son of the housekeeper Sun Bo. He is responsible for Zhang's purchasing. He often goes to the streets to buy goods and is very well-informed about the news in the town.
"What Changbai said? That's probably true. Let's go and take a look."
The three of them hurried to Tzu Chi Hall. Before they arrived, they saw a queue of more than ten meters long at the door. The people in the queue each held a piece of paper in their hands and looked eagerly at the front of the queue.
"Brother, let me ask, what are you doing?" Zhang's wet nurse asked an older brother in the team.
"What else can I do? Wait in line to buy iced tea." He shook the note in his hand. "I just got the number sixty-seven early today."
"Why do you still need to get a number?" Ruyi whispered. This was the first time she heard that she had to queue up to get a number when buying things. Couldn't she just pay the money directly?
"Is this your first time here? The ice tea drink is limited to 100 cups a day. In order to prevent too many people from blocking the traffic, they came up with this method." He looked proud, as if he had come up with this method. "
When queuing up to get a number, there will only be 20 people in line at one time, so that it will not impede traffic and ensure fairness and justice on a first-come, first-served basis."
The nanny of the Zhang family sneered. As Mrs. Zhang's nanny, she had never heard of people having to queue up to buy things designated by the lady. Which store would not rush out to greet her when they saw her coming, eager to welcome her to the warehouse?
She chooses.
She ignored the man who was spitting excitedly at all, and led Lu Zhu Ruyi to the front of the queue. She had to quickly buy ice tea and go back to appetize the young lady.
She was stopped before she took a few steps. The person who stopped her was a young man holding a dagger in his hand. He had a handsome and heroic appearance, but his expressionless face looked cold.
"Today's numbers have been issued. Please come early tomorrow." The young man's voice was as calm as his expression.
"Is that you?" Lu Zhu was stunned when she saw the young man. This man was Xiao Xun.
Lu Zhu was deeply impressed by him. She had been ordered to entertain the distinguished guests brought back by the master, and it was this young man in front of her.
At that time, his legs and feet seemed to be injured and were fixed with wooden boards. Seeing that he had difficulty moving, Luzhu wanted to help him, but she did not expect that the young man would not appreciate it at all, causing her to lose face in front of the sisters.
Xiaoxun has no memory of the tall and thin maid in front of him. He never bothers to remember unimportant people. He is here to maintain order. The supply of herbal tea exceeds the demand. If there are too many people coming to buy, conflicts will arise.
Some people wanted to jump in the queue, some wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to resell, and when the sales first started, some people got into a fight over who could enter the Tzu Chi Hall first.
Later, Xiao Ruo came up with the idea of first-come, first-served to get the number and buy it by the number, which solved a lot of troubles. Even if someone buys and sells the number privately, it is done consensually and will not cause trouble.
He just needs to maintain the shape of the queue and prevent it from getting too long, which would affect street traffic.
"You two know each other?" The nanny looked at Luzhu and then at the boy. "We know each other just right. You are from Tzu Chi Hall, right? Take us to Dr. Cen quickly. We want to buy that herbal tea."
"I don't know, the number registration is over today. If you want to buy a cup of 20 cents, please come early tomorrow to pick up the number." Xiao Xun's face remained expressionless.
The nanny of the Zhang family was anxious when she heard that she had not bought herbal tea. How could she go back and explain to the lady? She frowned and said with an impatient expression: "Do you know who I am? I am Mrs. Zhang's nanny! I am here for Mrs. Zhang."
Mrs. Zhang is here to buy something!"
Hearing what she said, the people in line next to her interrupted: "Mrs. Zhang's nanny is here to fight us for twenty cents a cup? Why don't you settle for fifty cents?"
Fifty cents? Twenty cents for a cup of tea is expensive enough. How about fifty cents for a cup? This Tzu Chi Hall is not a pharmacy, is it a bandit's den?
Luzhu was shocked when she heard what others said. She only heard Sun Changbai say that the herbal tea sold by Tzu Chi Hall was twenty cents a cup. At that time, she was mumbling that who would drink such expensive tea? Now there is fifty cents a cup.
Woolen cloth!
Fifty cents is nothing in Zhang's nanny's mind. The things she bought for the young lady were priced in silver ingots. They were only fifty cents. Compared with the young lady's body, they were nothing at all.
She nodded and said to Xiao Xun: "Brother, fifty cents is fifty cents. As long as I can buy it today, five hundred cents is not a problem."
"Hey, you are indeed a member of the Zhang family. Five hundred coins is nothing..." People nearby sighed with emotion when they heard the words of the nanny of the Zhang family.
Xiao Xun also nodded and motioned for the three Zhang family members to follow him. Xiao Ruo had already explained before that if anyone wanted to order fifty yuan of herbal tea, he would take them directly to the left side of the front hall to register.
There were already four names on the register. The nanny of the Zhang family took the opportunity to take a few glances. The two names on the top were the Li family and the Ruan family in the town. She had never seen the last two names. Although the Li family and the Ruan family were not as good as
The Zhang family is also a well-known wealthy family in the town. The names of these two families are followed by the numbers eight and nine respectively.
"What does this mean?" she asked, pointing to the two numbers.
"This is the number of cups they ordered." She was answered by a female voice with a smile on her face. It was Xiaoruo who had just finished making the second batch of ice today.
"In addition to the 100 cups we purchase with our number every day, there are 50 cups that can be reserved. The pre-ordered batch will be sold according to the registration book at noon every day." She explained to the three Zhang family members in detail. "We also have
We have launched a delivery service. As long as you order more than five cups within Shangxi Town, you can have it delivered to your door."
"Aside from the fact that they can be reserved, is there any difference between twenty coins and fifty coins?" Zhang's nanny is not so easy to fool. The price difference is more than double. She always has to ask if they are the same thing.
"There's not much difference in the medicinal materials. The formulas are the same. It's just that 20 yuan is added with crushed ice cubes, and 50 yuan is small ice cubes." Xiao Ruo bit the word "ice cube" very clearly, and the tea with ice cubes was only
Selling for fifty cents, anyone who knows the market knows how good a deal it is.
"Are they really ice cubes?" The three Zhang family members were a little bit in disbelief. They asked their grandfather and grandma to ask for ice cubes but they couldn't buy them. The Tzu Chi Hall actually had ice cubes? It was also made into tea and sold, and a cup only cost 50 Wen.
Now Luzhu doesn't think fifty cents a cup of tea is expensive. If there are ice cubes that can make Madam feel cool, appetizing and happy, then their servants will have a much better time this summer, and they don't have to worry about being angered by the master and the young master.
Seeing Xiao Ruo nodding her head with assurance, Zhang's wet nurse felt relieved and asked Xiao Ruo to register her in the register. She wanted to order five cups of hot tea and five cups of six white tea. There was no need to deliver it to her door, she would just wait here.
It was almost time to pick it up, and she wanted to see the herbal tea with ice cubes with her own eyes.
