After returning from Aunt Zhou's house, Lu Xiyue had some calculations in her mind.

She thought of a good business.

However, we still have to wait for Village Chief Zhao and Merchant Li to discuss before making any plans.

Not long after noon, she heard Aunt Wang, who lived in front of her, angrily pointing at Businessman Li and cursing at the door.

It is said inside and outside that he does not do human affairs, and feeds his conscience to the dog in order to make money.

Don't think about it, it must be Village Chief Zhao and the others who didn't agree.

She sat in the room thinking for a long time, and decided to discuss it with Mother Lu and Xiao Yunheng first.

When Mother Lu heard that she wanted to do business, her first thought was not very supportive.

But she quickly realized that her precious daughter was very different from before.

Xiao Yunheng was a little surprised, she came back this morning and said she hadn't thought about it, so now she has an idea?

Under the watchful eyes of the two, she expressed her thoughts: "I plan to sell iced fruit drinks."

Now is the hottest time in summer, and having a glass of iced drink at this time will definitely refresh your mind and body.

Xiao Yunheng and Mother Lu's eyes narrowed.

Both of them used to be aristocratic families. They had drank iced wine and tasted fruit wine, but they had never heard of iced fruit drink.

She explained briefly, and the two of them communicated instantly.

"This thing is new, what should I do?" Mother Lu asked curiously.

"Fruit drinks have many different flavors, and they are all made of fruits." In fact, it is the fruit tea in their modern milk tea shop.

Of course, the raw materials in the milk tea shop are not available here, but fortunately, she has a way to find another way.

"Fruit is not cheap, and it is made into fruit tea. There should be no one buying it here." Xiao Yunheng who had not spoken all this time said suddenly.

Even though Qiong County is not too poor, the people living here are ordinary people.

"I know this. Don't we grow lychees in our village? We make lychee fruit drinks with lemongrass tea as the base."

On the land allocated to her by Village Chief Zhao, a large piece of lemongrass grew on the other side of the river bank.

There is no lemon here, just right to use lemongrass instead.

Lemongrass itself has a sweet and sour taste, similar to lemons. Boil it in water, remove the leaves and let it cool, then put it in ice cubes, and finally chop the lychee into cubes to replace the pulp. It is a refreshing iced fruit drink .

Xiao Yunheng thought for a while, then nodded: "If this is the case, it should be possible."

He has never tasted it, but Lu Xiyue's cooking skills are very good, and the taste of this lychee fruit drink will not be bad.

Mother Lu's thoughts were the same as Xiao Yunheng's: "You all think it's good, so it must be the same."

"Then I'll go to Village Chief Zhao to discuss it now."

You only need to rent a shop of more than ten square meters to open an ice drink shop.

According to the price of the leased store here, this kind of small shop costs about seven taels of silver, and she still has 70 taels in hand, which is quite enough.

What's more, she intends to work with the folks.

Lu Xiyue went out and turned a corner, but she didn't go far when she saw a familiar figure.

Village Chief Zhao?

He was in a hurry, and his whole body was full of solemn aura.

Village head Zhao also saw her at the moment, and greeted her with a forced smile: "Miss Lu is busy."

"Not busy." With a smile on her face, she said lightly, "I happen to have something to do with the village chief."

Village Chief Zhao was taken aback.

The field has been cleaned up, what else can Mrs. Lu do with him?

He was still in a hurry to take someone to go to the market with him to find a merchant who collects lychees.

"I'll talk about it when I come back. I have something urgent to deal with right now." As he spoke, he stepped over the pit in front of him and passed her.

"Is the village chief planning to compromise with Merchant Li?"

As soon as the words came out, Village Chief Zhao paused, turned his head, and looked at her indifferently.

"You can't really let the fruit rot in the basket, and the folks will lose everything."

He also didn't want to bow his head to Merchant Li, it was not impossible.

"I have an idea. I don't know if the village chief is free to listen."

Surprise flashed across Village Chief Zhao's eyes, and his mouth was quicker than his brain: "I'm free."

"You can sell me the lychee." She replied.

Hearing this, Village Chief Zhao shrank his head back, and his gray brows frowned: "What do you want lychees for?"

He originally thought that she had some way to sell the lychees, why did she still collect them herself.

More importantly, does she have money?

It's not that Village Chief Zhao looks down on people, it's because the three members of this family were exiled here, penniless, and they didn't even have a place to live before.

Facing Village Chief Zhao's puzzled gaze, Lu Xiyue confessed her thoughts.

Village Chief Zhao blinked and stood still, as if shocked by her thoughts.

After a long time, he raised his hand: "Wait, wait until I figure it out."

Lu Xiyue said nothing.

Village head Zhao cleared his mind, and softly "tsk": "Ms. Lu, how sure are you that this business can make money."

Lu Xiyue smiled: "It's hard to say how sure, doing business is definitely risky, it depends on whether you are willing to fight."

Even if it was her, she couldn't guarantee that she would make a steady profit without losing money. If she said it, it would most likely be to bluff people.

Village Chief Zhao was silent, a little embarrassed.

"To be honest, I think your proposal is good, even tempting, but I have to discuss this matter with the folks."

"It's natural, so hurry up, this fruit won't last long."

"Okay, I'll call the folks here."

Compared with negotiating a loss-making business with Merchant Li, Village Chief Zhao wanted to accept her proposal more.

This Mrs. Lu's idea has never been impossible.

He had a hunch that this would probably work.

Village head Zhao turned back and called the villagers to his house to discuss major issues.

Lu Xiyue was not idle either, she cut some lemongrass with a sickle, made tea, and now made a big pot of lychee ice drink for the villagers to taste.

Only after drinking it will you know how good the fruit drink tastes.

"In this business, if there is a loss, there is a profit. Let me tell you, instead of cheapening Merchant Li's black-hearted stuff, it's better to do what Mrs. Lu said, let's give it a try."

"You can't say that. If we sell it to Merchant Li, we can still get back some of our money. What kind of fruit drink business is really lost. In the second half of the year, can we drink Northwest Wind?"

"How come it's as strong as the northwest wind? It's not that there are still fruits to be harvested."

"It's for sale anyway, so why bother with it, it's such a hassle."

In the small courtyard of the village chief's house, two or thirty people sat on the small stools brought by the family, which had been divided into two opposite sides.

On the one hand, he wanted to follow her for a try, on the other hand, he was afraid of losing money.

"To be honest, Mrs. Lu is a smart person. Those who come from the capital have seen the world, so maybe this business will succeed."

"You're deaf, and Miss Lu didn't dare to guarantee that you didn't listen to what the village chief said."

The two sides could not stop arguing and quarreled non-stop.

Village head Zhao got a headache when he heard it, and was about to tell these people to silence, when he saw Lu Xiyue carrying a big teapot from a distance, he immediately said: "Don't say a word, Mrs. Lu is here."

The scene suddenly quieted down, and he followed the village head's gaze back.
