405 Astonishing
Jiang Yue did not say anything.
She didn’t know how to comfort people, but Xue Yan probably knew. Seeing Jiang Yue’s expression, Xue Xiao understood what she meant. He was silent for a moment, trying not to hurt Wufu’s pride. “I think we’ve already sold more than thirty sticks.”
“No!” Xue Wufu’s shoulders slumped in defeat.
Jiang Yue realized that Xue Yan wasn’t that good at comforting people.
“Wel…”. Xue Yan felt even more embarrassed. He wanted to comfort Wufu even more, but he was afraid of hurting Wufu’s self-esteem. He was also worried that Wufu couldn’t understand, as Wufu’s brain couldn’t be compared with Sifu’s. Therefore, he thought for a long time about how to phrase it and chose to tell the truth.
“You see…” he tried not to look at Wufu, afraid that he would not be able to finish his sentence. “Y-you ran too fast. Just now, a few people said that they heard you shouting, but they didn’t see you stop. You should slow down and eat a popsicle in your hand like Jiang Yue. In fact, it can be a sample for people to see the popsicle. We can sell it that way.”
“So it’ll be effective if I stop and shout loudly?” Xue Wufu immediately perked up and was extremely happy. “That makes sense! Alright, alright, alright, I’ll go slower then!” He could even eat a popsicle in his hand! As long as he could sell the popsicle, he would be satisfied!
It was as if he had been injected with adrenaline and became extremely excited.
He walked much slower than before. He also quickly took out a popsicle and ate it while shouting even louder. Sure enough, he didn’t walk far before someone asked him about the popsicle and really bought it.
He was so happy that he could die right then and there.
“Sold! They bought it! They really did! Oh! Oh!” He even ran back and happily spun two circles in front of Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.
Then, within a blink of an eye, he went back to selling popsicles.
“Wufu’s recovery ability is really amazing…”
“I agree…”
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were on the same street as Wufu. Since Wufu had sold popsicles to the customers in front of them, they were behind him and couldn’t sell any popsicles. They wanted to continue walking forward and turn into another street to sell popsicles. However, before they reached the corner, they saw Shopkeeper Qiao at the entrance of Lakshmi Restaurant, eating a popsicle while smiling at them. He was obviously waiting for them to come to him.
As for the popsicle in Shopkeeper Qiao’s hand, it was obvious that he had bought it from Wufu.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went over.
“Shopkeeper Qiao.” Xue Yan cupped his hands.
“Hello,” Shopkeeper Qiao quickly returned the greeting. Then, he took another bite of the popsicle and smiled. “This is the food you’ve made, right? It’s very cooling.” Without waiting for anyone to answer, he asked again, “Would you both do me the honor of entering for a short chat?”
“If you want to buy the recipe, we can’t go in. If you want to buy more ice, by all means.”
Without waiting for him to finish, Shopkeeper Qiao smiled and said, “I’m here to buy the ice.”
They were not willing to sell the recipe for the rice noodles the last time he asked. This time, ice was better than the recipe for the rice noodles. How could they be willing to sell it? He naturally would not have such an idea.
He could only think about buying ice.
The weather was so hot that their business was also affected.
