Chapter 89: 摆地摊了，走过路过不要错过

Setting up a stall, don’t miss it when you walk or pass by

By noon, the Cold Palace food department had produced more than five hundred salt ice-lollies.

She ordered all of the ice to be loaded into the special double-walled wooden barrel where the middle layer and the bottom side were filled with ice. After putting the cold drinks in, they put the lid on, covered it with a custom-made thick cotton-padded quilt and sent it to the front. She gave each guards on duty a free one for publicity.

In the afternoon, because of the hot weather, coupled with the fact that the Cold Palace is located in the middle of nowhere, there were not many people who came to the entrance of the Cold Palace kiosk. 

From morning opening until now, cold drinks were not sold out.

Lu Yunluo then decided to pack up the things and go to the front to set up a stall!

“Your Highness, it’s hot outside right now. Why don’t you ask for two palace maids and eunuchs to go?” Yin Shuang said as she looked at the bright sun rising high in the sky outside.

“That’s right ah, Niang Niang, throughout the ages, where has Niang Niang personally set up a stall in the palace to sell things?” Zhou Mama also had a worried look on her face.

What if the Emperor knew about this and blamed her, what should she do? 

“If you guys are not at ease, follow me. I’ve studied the rules of the palace, selling things at stalls doesn’t defy the rule. It’s safe!” Lu Yunluo patted the shoulders of two people, then changed into eunuch clothes, ready to go after she finished packing things up.

Mainly, because staying alone in the cold palace was really too boring.

Plus with so many eunuchs and palace maids under her hand, each of them had arranged things to do, and it wasn’t convenient for her to take out anyone.

After Lu Yunluo was most ready, she and Yin Shuang set off carrying two large special wooden boxes.

The first stop, straight to the palace’s great Inner—imperial palace dining hall.

This would be the time for the various palace subordinates to change shifts to eat and rest.

Nearby, is the palace maid and eunuch’s dormitory.

Going there now would be just enough to catch up with that flow of people.

Coming to a conspicuous place outside the Great Inner—imperial palace dining hall, the cloth prepared long ago was spread on the ground, and two wooden boxes were placed on top. 

Because the cold drinks melted easily, it was therefore inconvenient to take them out.

After getting ready, Lu Yunluo cleared her throat and shouted.

“The Cold Palace small shop is open with a bargain sale!”

“One cold drink is not 998! Not 98! The original price of 18 is now only 9 wen!”

“Nine wen won’t make you suffer, you won’t be fooled!”

“It doesn’t matter if you buy it or not, come and have a look.”

“Only nine wen for the whole place! Don’t ever miss it if you walk by or pass by!”

When Lu Yunluo opened her voice, she immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Perhaps it was because they had never seen anyone set up a stall in the palace to sell things, perhaps it was Lu Yunluo’s unique advertisement, or perhaps it was these two words ‘cold drink’ that attracted most people’s attention.

As you know, cold drinks are a rare thing that only the masters in the palace can eat.

How could they just take it out and sell it so cheaply to them, these underlings?

Some people didn’t believe it.

But there were also people who were curious and walked over, “What kind of cold drink?” Someone asked.

Lu Yunluo smiled and said, “Naturally, it’s chilled food.”

As she said that, she let Yin Shuang open the wooden box. 

This wooden box is specially ordered to be made a double layer box, there are various layers underneath. The middle one for ice cubes, and the upper and lower layers will be used for cold drinks. She has experimented with it; a wooden box can hold sixty sticks of mung bean cake, and it won’t melt for four hours.

Lifting the thick little quilt that covered the wooden box and uncovering the lid, a gust of cold air that was visible to the naked eye immediately emerged from inside.
